last update2023-08-11 22:46:26

At Laura Fabrics, Paula reacts as if she's been caught stealing. She's pale and wide-eyed, thinking about the zero chance of Henry showing up here.

Then, she shakes her head, “Forget it, Laura. That won’t happen.”

“And why not?” Laura asks outraged.

“It's because that's his will and you have to respect it.” Paula tries to walk away, but Laura's voice reaches her.

“But why would he ask to remain incognito? Do I know this Henry, Paula? Are you sure he's a good man?”

“Certainly, I believe so!” Paula asserts, “It's just that he doesn't want to come here because of the fame you have. He claims he wants to lead a calm and peaceful life.”

“And when was the last time we experienced strong emotions here? Paula, this is pretty weird.” Laura insists.

“There's nothing weird about it.” Paula shrugs, “You just want to be a gossip girl.”

The other saleswomen laugh and then walk away to their jobs. Paula goes with them.

Laura remains dissatisfied with the little information she managed to gather abou

    Laura and Marianne go into her office and her mother closes the door.“Let's talk seriously, Mom.” Laura declares, “What's really going on around here?”“It so happens, my daughter, that I no longer trust your future sister-in-law.” Marianne sits down on the chair.Laura sits down at the desk, face-to-face, “Is that it? Mom, this has nothing to do with—”“With the fact how readily she showed up to help you get the word out that you weren't Antonio's daughter.” Marianne justifies herself, “Now, because of Carla, you are being considered a murder suspect.”Laura narrows her eyes and shakes her head, “Mother, you are mistaken. I don't understand why you never wanted me to know who my real father was. And now, you're using that as an excuse to hate Carla. I won’t go against her because of something I wanted and asked of her.”Marianne smirks, “You THINK you asked for Carla, my daughter. Probably she handled the situation so that the recording took place.”Laura ponders for a few seconds.

It's true, I hadn't asked her, but once I saw her willing to record a video, I thought 'Why not'?”Marianne flares up, “Daughter, don't you see that therein lies the trap? She picked up the cell phone, you saw the device, something inside your mind was triggered, and then you 'decided' for Carla to make the video. She took the cell phone on purpose, already knowing that you would accept it.”“Carla was embarrassed and apologized for being impulsive,” Laura remembers.“But that was part of her act, daughter! That was pure pretense!” Marianne revolts, “Ah, the more we look at this story, the more I’m su

I was thinking of the American soap opera dramas that pervade my daughter's life.”“What happened to Laura?” Paula worries.“Looks like she came out to help the lying vlogger who was exposed by Reggie Fabray,” Marianne speaks with contempt.Paula puts her hand over her mouth in a vain attempt to stifle a laugh.Marianne notices this, “Did you see the video?”“The correct question would be: who has NOT seen the video?” Paula opines.Marianne nods, “That's my biggest concern. Since everyone is watching the video and realizing how this Influencer is nothing more than a scammer view-hunting who deceives subscribers with click-baits and empty content... how is Taddy going to allow his son to marry this idler?“Paula's head was spinning as if she'd downed an entire bottle of Campari, “Ehr...

I called to tell you something, but it looks like you're in worse trouble.”“I'm not saying it's worse than having Aline missing.” Reginaldo sighs, “But George just quit his job.”“Your best friend?” Sylvia was alone, yet, she lowers her voice, “The one who wanted to sleep with Aline?”“He, mother.” Reginaldo smiles ironically, “What a thing, huh? Who would have thought that now not only would he resign, but he would make it clear that we are no longer friends?”“Did he break the friendship too?” Sylvia shows no regret, “Well, dear son, now that it's happened, your old mother can tell you with propriety: no guy who wants to sleep with your fiancée deserves the title of 'best friend'.”Reginaldo can no longer be upset and laughs at his mother's unusual wisdom, “Mother, you’re the best.”Sylvia smiles as she hears her son's voice happier, “I m

Do you really need to talk to me?”“Don't be afraid, Joshua.” Reginaldo raises his hand and moves his index and ring finger, calling him closer.Joshua closes the door and approaches his boss, “Yes, Mr. Fabray.”“I want to know if you are aware of what is going on.” Reginaldo remains serious and intimidating.Joshua clears his throat unnecessarily, “Your fiancée is missing...”“And what else?”Joshua feels shivers run through his body, “I...

    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

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?

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.
