2024-10-29 19:42:56The next day, George is having breakfast with Carla still in her home clothes: a simple white blouse, pink shorts above her knees, and sandals. He was already in a pure cotton gray shirt and graphite dress pants, sipping his steaming coffee and looking suspicious.
“What is it, dear?”
“Carla, I can't get used to the idea of seeing you like this, working from home like you're a leper.”
Carla smiles to reassure him, “My love, I'm fine. It's better to stay here 'inmate' than face the Queen of Gomes Estates. Isn't that what you told me yesterday when we had dinner, almost making me lose my appetite?”
“I'm very sorry.”
“For making me lose my appetite?”
“No, for all you're suffering being friends with that...” George chokes on his words and feels like he's going to cry with rage, “I can't even say her name. Honey, clog up my client schedule so I don't have to show up at t

Sabrina had forgotten to update her 'husband' on the progress of the plan to defeat Aline. She only talked to Anestor, which could be dangerous...Then she clears her throat unnecessarily, “Cough, cough... Honey, I'm sorry, but I was pretty busy with my plan to defeat Aline Mendonça. To do so, I had to ally myself with Laura... what shall we call her now?”“Laura Correia.” Antonio responds resentfully, “The shameless woman said she was going to change all her documents at the registry office. Anyway, it's good that at least you two are friends.”“Don't worry, darling.” Sabrina gets close to him, acting like Solomon's wife, “We haven't talked about you. It's good that she doesn't get angry and trust me with things.”“And how is she? Living with the scoundrel dude and the adulterous mother?” Antonio growls.“Don't worry. I didn't ask her that. Remember, it's not my p

“Yes, let's meet at my apartment, it's safer.” Laura says, “I don't want you to come to my store because my mother works here too. Although today, she is at the spa with friends.”“Then I could—”“Sabrina, I don't mean to be rude, but in my shop, there are still people who might recognize you.” Laura vehemently explains, “Once in a while, Reggie stops by to see me.”Sabrina smirks, “Didn't I tell you he was worth investing in? He's already taken the first step, keep the door open. OK, let's talk in the safest place. See you there in fifteen minutes.”“Equally. Goodbye!” Laura ends the call the moment Paula appears.“Laura, I need you to help me with a big problem.”“What happened, Paula?” Laura gets up.“A matron is wanting to return a blouse, but it was burned by the iron for it, nor was the maid who did it.”<

George finally decides to speak after drinking a glass of water that his father served him.“Thanks, Dad. I suddenly had a dry throat...”“It seems to me that this is a sensitive subject.” Taddeo doesn't buy the small talk.“Yes, because it involves my friend Reggie. I am very grateful for the opportunity he gave me, to give me a job and the chance for me to learn a new profession from scratch. But when it comes to his girlfriend... I can't, Dad! You already know part of the story.”“How she kept switching between different guys until she decided on Reggie.” Taddeo nods, “I believe she took the big prize.”“That shouldn't be the basis for a relationship.” George comments wryly, “Well, Dad, the fact is...” He takes a deep breath, pauses, then... “I was one of the guys.”“What guys?” Taddeo asks with childlike innocence.“On

Taddeo is still afflicted after the conversation he had with his son.“I cannot conceive of the idea that my son is promiscuous. Did he not learn from the example of others how this only causes drama and headaches? Reggie and Laura's forced marriage... Laura and her lovers... Reggie and Aline... Why would my son want to go down that path? And now that it’s out in the open that Laura is my daughter, it is my duty to advise her as well.”Marianne walks into their apartment feeling rejuvenated from the spa, “Hello, darling! One of these days, you try the SPA. It has services for men, too. This can help in the beauty of your body...”Marianne smiles sensually and smooths her hand over Taddeo's chest.“I'm not a manly big boy like George anymore.”“Hmm, but it's you that so much beauty came from.” Marianne winks, “I imagine his mother was a stunning woman too.”“She looked like Eva Longoria.” Taddeo jokes, “Anyway, I'm glad you're here, darling. We need to discuss a serious matter.”Marian

Laura waits for the coffee maker to finish straining the coffee and goes to get some sweet bread, spoons, knives, margarine, and a small bowl of sugar.“Coffee is almost ready.” Laura buys time to consider whether to reveal what she knows about Anestor.Sabrina notices the hostess's apparent nervousness, “Did I touch on a sensitive subject.”“No!” Laura smiles forcedly, “It's just that I... yes, a servant named Anestor Vieira worked at my house when I was married to Reggie, then he started working at the hotel. He must be with Aline Mendonça now.”“No, he was fired because he wouldn't accept Aline the Promiscuous as his new employer.” Sabrina tells the story not realizing that Laura already knows, “Now he's back being Tony's secretary.”Laura serves the steaming coffee, “Help yourself, my friend. Anyway, would he be willing to help you manage the hotel? Why?”“Because...” Sabrina smiles in complicity, “Anestor and I love each other deeply.”“Sabrina!” Laura gapes, “What about the marr
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 591 Sticking Reggie in the Plan
Anestor is stunned when he hears from Antonio's mouth that he is sterile.“Tony... You... Wow, man, how come you agreed to raise a stranger's daughter then?”“First, I didn't want the whole world to know that I was betrayed.” Antonio walks away, “Afterward, I could always take advantage of the situation to maintain control. I had my way with Laura without an ounce of remorse because I knew that bastard was not my blood.”“And that included the forced marriage with Reginaldo Fabray...”“Exactly!” Antonio smiles as if he was right, “Harming Laura was a kind of revenge on Marianne for having betrayed me. And don't even think, my dear secretary, that I've had my fill. I’m just giving the lovebirds a little time to think they’ll have lasting peace.”Anestor tries to disguise his annoyance when he hears Antonio declare revenge against people who don't even care about his existence anymore, “Ehr... how tough, Tony, I'm sorry.”“No need, you are a good friend.

Taddeo notices the conviction and willpower in his daughter's eyes when she declares that the universe will conspire in her favor.“Daughter, what do you intend to do?”Laura breaks the hug, “I still don't know, Dad.”Marianne suggests, “You can start by eliminating that mediocre writer from your life.”Taddeo frowns, “Laura, now that I'm your father, I can say a word about this, right? Your mother told me the juicy details. What's this about you being almost kidnapped by Eduardo Casemiro?”Laura feels a lump in her throat, “Ehr... It's complicated, Dad. That's when I decided to stop cheating and be faithful to Reggie. Eduardo didn't like it and went completely crazy. And to make matters worse, he had support from Mr. Ferreira. I have no proof, but I feel that he was the one who arranged with the police to release Eduardo.”“He was arrested, obviously, but was he released?” Taddeo's eyes widen.“It was ridiculous talk of ‘provisional release,’ or ‘parole’”.Marianne adds, “That's when

At the Ferreira Hotel, Sabrina is ecstatic to learn that she will be included in the will.“Nestor!” She stands up, “We need to celebrate this, honey!”“Schi!” Anestor puts his finger to his lips, “Speak softly, your husband will hear us and tell them to cancel the arrangement!”“Oops!” Sabrina covers her mouth with both hands as if she were a rowdy student, “Sorry. We need, now more than ever, to maintain decorum. Nor can we celebrate as I thought.”Anestor smiles suggestively, “That's right, dear. Careful, we can't let you get pregnant, or your hubby will find out about us.”“I still don't know how I didn't get by him.” Sabrina purses her lips.Anestor blurts out the revelation, “Don't you know? It's because the rogue is sterile. That's why he knew Laura wasn't his daughter from the beginning.”Sabrina gapes, “But... Nestor! Now you've said something terrible! God in Heaven, if I show up pregnant... and the bastard didn't tell me! It seems he does it on purpose to test the wives he

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.

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? Th

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...”
