At Laura Fabrics, Laura needs to calm the beast that Eduardo has become.

She moves to the other side of the counter to caress his face, "Eddie, for God's sake, don't cause a scene in front of my customers."

"It's you who's scandalizing everyone here for kissing that porn star!" Eduardo asserts violently.

Jacob feels offended, "Hey, don't think I like that comparison, huh?"

Eduardo dismisses him, "Man, you look like you just stepped out of those gigolos or go-go boys catalogs!"

Jacob tries to come out from behind the counter to punch Eduardo, but Laura senses this and steps between the two, "Hey, ENOUGH! Eddie, let's talk in the storeroom. Jacob, take care of the store and the customers for now!"

"He's letting the customers walk out of here with the clothes for free, Laura!" Eduardo insists on provoking his rival.

Fearing violence, Laura pushes Eduardo into the storeroom.

Paula approaches a bull-snorting Jacob, "Hey, buddy, what was that thing we witnessed?"

Jacob is shooting laser bea

    At Laura Fabrics' storeroom, Laura and Eduardo begin to talk privately."Eddie, I forbid you to troll Jacob." Laura admonishes him with a stern expression on her face, "You don't have what it takes to fight a guy like him."Eduardo massages his right arm, "You're right. He's very muscular and he could rip me in two with one punch. But that doesn't take away the fact that he loves you and wants you."Laura stifles a laugh, "Eddie, don't be a jester. Your imagination runs wild, that's why you're a novelist."Eduardo gets more serious, "I'm not kidding, honey! Can't you see that Jacob is jealous? And your kissing him on the cheek doesn't help the situation!"Laura decides to explain this, "Well, I was just happy that Jacob gave me an idea to test if my dad is who he says he is."Eduardo momentarily puts his jealousy aside and becomes interested in the conversation, "Explain it to me better.""I want to do a DNA test to prove once and for all that Antonio Ferreira is not my biological fat

Bianca hasn't shown up yet, much to my delight."Bruno wrinkles his nose, "One day, young man, you and Bianca will be great friends. Anyway, the fact is that if everyone sells at least one proper

Look how many indecorous and revolting things people say about your eldest son's girlfriend! Is this the lady who will carry the Fabray surname and be the wife of the heir?"Bartolomeo doesn't even bother to glance at the folder. He glares at his younger brother, "I bet a lot of this stuff you researched dates back to before Reggie even met Aline.""And shouldn't that be cause for alarm for you? What does Sylvia think of that?" Gilson insists with a frown."Sylvia is in Sunset Village helping Aline organize the wedding. And Natty is with them."

She just informed me that she told you what I did, probably in the most lying and twisted way possible."Carla decides to bring up the thorny subject, "Is this what you wanted to talk to me about over the phone?""I wanted to ask you if you knew anything about Reggie. I was informed by Bruno that he's in a bad mood today, but I still haven't found him.

    Days passed. Fabray House became a lonely corner, just for Reginaldo and Faron.With ‘Miss Correia’ no longer around, Reginaldo exempted Faron from the obligation to wear a suit. As a result, Reginaldo was already used to going downstairs in sweatpants and finding the butler wearing just boxers in the kitchen, preparing breakfast.“Good morning, Boss Reginaldo.” Faron greets him with a respectful smile, “How have you been feeling?”“Can you believe I still wake up reaching for the now empty side of the bed?” Reginaldo sits down, telling this as if it were a joke, “Or else, I wake up at dawn and jump on her side to bang her, but I only fall into the void.”“Yeah, I understand you. Try sleeping in the middle of the bed.” Faron advises him.“Maybe that’s better, or else go hunting for the next candidate.” Reginaldo sighs.Faron puts the breakfast options on the table while Reginaldo takes his cell phone out of his pocket to see what's new.The news written by João Paulo Queiroz Rocha sur

Taddeo is visibly furious. If he doesn't explain soon, his father will have another stroke, probably fatal this time.“OK, Dad,” George braces himself, “First, I want to reveal that during the months I was away from Reggie, I worked in the real estate agency of Henry, the hateful cousin.”“GEORGE!” Marianne exclaims outraged.“I know, it was a stupid move on my part. I looked like a tantrum child. I wanted Reggie to know what he lost by letting me leave Gomes Estates. But he never found out, and I

What happened, did you and Reginaldo fight again?”George takes a deep breath, “Josh, Reggie’s hateful cousin has been defeated. The Mares Agency will likely be passed on to our boss, along with the team of real estate agents. However, when he and I were fighting, I was foolish enough to team up with Henry Fabray, working at his agency.”Joshua gapes, horrified.“Did you work for the enemy these months? And you still had the gall to come back to us without saying anything?”“I knew you would react in disgust.” George justifies himself.“And that’s why you thought it was better to hide this from us?

She is a first-time mother.”Sylvia, like every mother, notices a change in her son's attitude, “Reggie, what happened?”“No big deal, Mom.”“Then why are you crushing your cell phone in your hand as if it were your uncle Gilson’s

    This was too much for Laura. She once again felt wobbly in her legs and ran back into the mansion.When she was in the foyer, about to go up the stairs, she saw Reggie on the top step, about to go down. Laura notices the excited tone of her fiancé’s voice and hides in a corner to hear what he has to say.Reginaldo goes down the stairs, laughing, “Yes, Dad, I'm very happy. I'm sure Uncle Gilson will stay quiet in Europe, enjoying Paris and Milan, and he'll never want to come back here again. Yes, he will quickly forget that he has a dead son. Congratulations, Dad. Now we can finally work in peace.”Reginaldo finishes going down the stairs and goes outside to help dispose of his hateful cousin's corpse.Laura, in turn, with her heart pounding, runs up the stairs and reaches the second floor, going straight to the suite where she and Reginaldo are.She opens the closet and starts collecting her clothes haphazardly.Then, she takes her suitcase, opens it, and puts her clothes in without f

The Bento family can rest easy this time, as we won’t involve them.”Sylvia approaches him from behind with a disposable cup in hand, drinking water from the water cooler.“OK, son, bye!” Bartolomeo ends the call and turns to her, “It’s over, honey.”Sylvia finishes drinking the water, “What’s up, darling?”“Henry was cornered by Reggie at the mansion, in one of our guest suites, and they had a confrontation where Henry kind of confirmed everything. He murdered Antonio Ferreira just so the police would think the killer was our son.”“But those who spent a few days in prison were Sabrina and Anestor, the most obvious suspects.” Sylvia smiles in contempt.“I know, darling. My brother's plan was ridiculous and full of holes. When Reggie told Henry that Paula was with us and she would report him to Sergeant Andrade...”
