Carla thought about resigning and leaving Gomes Estates with her head held high, but not only is she unable to do that, but she is being questioned by Reginaldo.

“Reggie, you can't be serious.” Carla shakes her head, “Don't you know why George wouldn't admit that he slept with Aline in the past? He values your friendship!”

“Just as you cherished the friendship with Aline?” Reginaldo shoots back like a whip, “I don’t need that kind of friendship.”

“He knew you were disgusted with Márcio using Aline as a sex bag.” Carla insists on justifying her fiancé, “How could George have the nerve to say 'Hey, Reggie, I had my share of her harlotry too'?”

“He should never have slept with Aline in the first place.” Reginaldo asserts, “But still, I wasn't her boyfriend, so I would be angry, but I wouldn't bury him in the beach sand as he always feared. And the fu

    Aline appears at Gomes Estates and sees Carla already taking her things out in a box.The eyes of the two cross and both are embarrassed.“Carla, what do you think you're doing?”“You're still dumb and without heightened senses.” Carla taunts her, “Obviously, I'm packing my belongings to leave!”“Did you resign?” Aline is intrigued.Carla rolls her eyes, “Good thing I won't have to put up with your stupidity anymore.”“And will Laura put up with your avarice and dishonesty?” Aline wisely counters, “Let me tell you something, Carla Fortunato: yes, I'm stupid, but Laura isn't. She has malice and knows more about the world than me. Don't think you'll be able to fool her by pretending to be a friend while using her to promote your social media, because she'll see through it and she'll be meaner than me. Even more so now, that she has an older brother to protect her, wh

    Reginaldo is standing still, looking at the urban skyline of Lagoon City. The latest events leave him meditating...The door opens and Aline enters, smiling and grateful, “Dear...”Reginaldo recognizes the voice of his beloved and smiles, turning to her, “Hello, my dear. Come in. What happiness is this?”Aline comes in and closes the door, “I happened to bump into Carla when I came in...” She approaches him, “Reggie... is it true? She was fired?”“No, she wasn't fired.”“But I thought—”Reginaldo affectionately puts both hands on her shoulders, “Yes, you thought so, but it's not what it seems. I assigned Carla to work remotely from her apartment.”Aline stifles a laugh, “Oh, but for what reason? Did she want to resign to avoid me?”“Bingo!” Reggie exclaims, “But I didn't allow it. It would be too easy for her.

    Aline and Reginaldo leave his office. In the lobby, they are met with George appearing down the corridor.“Carla's office is open and I didn't see anything on her desk.” George has a confused look, “Did something happen that I missed?”Reginaldo smiles slightly, “Carla Fortunato resigned.”George gapes, “Oh my Lord! And you allowed such an atrocity?”Aline frowns, “Don’t overdo it, Bruno.”Bruno faces Aline, “I believe this has something to do with you, young lady. You made peace with Bianca, but you can't do the same with Carla, who was your best friend before all this?”Reginaldo takes the floor, “Bruno, Carla is going to work for us from her apartment, remotely. Since she didn't want to run into Aline here at the company, she decided to sacrifice herself for peace.”Bruno is forced to agree, “Well, at least Gomes Estates won't remain a b

    At the entrance to the real estate agency building, Reginaldo is leaving when George is entering.“Buddy, good to see you!” He greets him, “Hey, I just left the apartment. Is my fiancée really working remotely when everyone is getting back to normal?”Reginaldo chuckles, “Sorry, George, but I wasn't going to let Carla leave. If she doesn't want to run into Aline, that was the best solution I came up with.”George wrinkles his nose, “Looks like she has leprosy! Anyway, if she accepted, I must support her.”“Support her, bro.” Reginaldo pats George on the shoulder, “She needs to calm down, and recognize her mistake, so that, in the future, she can ask Aline for forgiveness. I think keeping her away from the rest of the company will give her pause to reflex.”“God hear you, I'm getting tired of these confusions.”“Only you?” Reginaldo chuckles

    George is looking ruefully at the empty office that once belonged to Carla. “Because of Aline Mendonça... my love will be excluded like a leper...” Bruno appears from behind him, “Contemplating solitude, man? If you want, we can transfer you to this location.” George turns to him, "Are you serious?" "Yes, why not?" Bruno winks, “Imagine how cool it would be: the office first belonged to your fiancée, now it belongs to you. It would all be in the family!” “Ha, ha, ha, Bruno, you are hilarious!” George is amused, then starts to walk around the empty room, “Yes, it would be very nice if I occupied this office in honor of Carla, my dear fiancée, who retired as if in quarantine.” Bruno clears his throat, “George... does this have anything to do with the mess you narrated to me on Monday?” "Yes. Carla came to resign, but Reggie made this proposal.” George huffs, “I don't settle for this, man. I never thought I would hate someone like

    George, unaware that he has lost Carla's office, receives a call when he is having lunch at Café Montanha.The number is strange, but he thought it was a client, “Hello?”On the other side, Bartolomeo is sitting on one of the benches in Ibrahim Square, “Hello, shall I speak with the broker George Correia?”“Himself,” George smiles.“I need to speak with you about a very important matter.”“Who do I talk to?”Bartolomeo smiles pretty slightly, “Bartolomeo Fabray. Can we meet later today?”George's eyes widen, “Are you... my best friend's father?”“That's what we'll see. I’m in Lagoon City Downtown, where are you located?”“I'm here at Café Montanha, very close to the central square!”“I know where it is, I’ll go there immediately.” Bartolomeo hangs up.Faron is wit

But the guy next to him with the mean face and always with one hand inside his jacket... who is he? Was he holding some revolver?George takes a deep breath and beckons to both of them.Bartolomeo approaches him, “Mr. Correia?”“It’s me. Hello, Mr. Fabray.”“This is Faron, Miss Mendonça's original butler.” Bartolomeo explains, “It seems it didn't work out for her to live with my butler. Did you meet him?”“Anestor, his name, right?” George seems not to have much intimacy, “Yeah, he spent a few months with my friend.”Bartolomeo sits down. Faron chooses the next table but keeps an eye on the conversation.“Want anything, sir?”&ldqu

What was all this about going to Aline's house and asking her to make love to you?” Bartolomeo narrows his eyes.George breathes heavily, “For Christ's sake, I must have been high or drunk to have done such a thing!”“At least you admit you did wrong with my son.”“Mr. Fabray, I already confessed to your son yesterday that I slept with Aline, but t

Although I heard the official explanation, I don't know the version of her. Why?”Reginaldo shakes his head, “Another plot by Eduardo Casemiro. He brought Denise from Europe to make Laura jealous, to convince her to return to him. When Laura and I got divorced, they arranged for Denise to seduce Jacob so he and Laura wouldn't be together. So, Laura started dating Eduardo again. But he continued to be the crazy stoner he always was. Laura ended her relationship with Eduardo again.

    Reginaldo stopped the BMW at the entrance to the Fabray House gate.As Faron wasn't there, he got out of the car and opened the gate manually. Automatic gate, only at Mendonça Manor.But when Reginaldo went back to the driver's door, he felt he heard some noise.Was anyone moving in the bushes? Was a thief waiting to rob him?Thinking about how unlucky it would be to be robbed just when Faron wasn't there, Reginaldo slowly opened the driver's door, aiming for the revolver he had inside the car.If he's faster, he can arm himself in time.However, a voice made him give up his weapons.“Reggie...”Reginaldo froze for a few seconds. If he were in the desert, he would think he was seeing a mirage. But he was in Sunset Village.So, how can you explain the fact that he was seeing Aline approaching him at a slow pace, coming out of the bushes as if she were a ghost?Aline was smiling, wearing a black k

If it weren't for Márcio, Reginaldo would be thrown out of the store as if he were a beggar.Reginaldo tried to sweep these memories out of his mind. Márcio became a hardened pervert who constantly violated Aline, losing his life as a result.Aline, another problematic woman, caused him a lot of headaches by getting involved with other guys before deciding on him, and then, when she needed him the most, instead of trusting him, she decided to waste the gift that God gave her.George and Carla, those friends who proved more treacherous than Henry and Gilson, were deservedly exi

    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

What's going on in Sunset Village?Everything that was built or combined is being destroyed or ceasing to exist.Taddeo sits in the armchair, “Can someone please explain to me in chronological order what is happening around here? Why do you insist on keeping things private and then expect us to just accept it?”George swallows hard, “Sorry, Dad—”“Don’t ‘sorry’ me, EXPLAIN YOURSELF!” Taddeo shouts angrily.George shakes a little. 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?

Did he win, according to his last words?Still trying to assimilate Laura's words, Bartolomeo and Sylvia enter, back from the hospital.“We’re very excited for Natty's return tomorrow, son. What do you think? Do you think Natalia should spend some time here at the mansion, or should we leave her in her apartment, alone with her husband?”Reginaldo reacts quickly, “I think it's better to invite her to spend a few days with us, Dad. This way, Mom can help her with how to take care of João Lucas. 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...”
