In addition, the saleswomen start to look at Carla with sly eyes and whisper bad words.
Carla feels judged as a harlot in the biblical times and clears her throat in defense, “I don't think you understand, my dear. Laura is not mad at me about the video. She understands and supports me. After all, I love her brother!”
Paula continues cold and unfeeling, “Miss Fortunato, I don't know if I should be the bearer of the news. I just know that I’ll be scolded by my friend if I let you get in.”
“This is absurd, I won’t be detained! LAURA!” Carla leans against the counter and starts screaming. The others are bothered by the scene.
Laura's office door opens and she sees Carla. Seeing that Paula is blocking her, she frowns and announces, “Let Carla pass for now, Paula. We'll talk later."
"OK.

If Aline was found, Donald would be jumping for joy.“Tell me, Donald.”Donald takes a deep breath, as if he was going to say something extremely difficult, “Due to the time Aline disappeared, and the fact that Faron found her sandal in the sand on the beach... Penha and I have decided to ask the police to close the investigation.”Reginaldo narrows his eyes, “Close the investigation?”"That's right."

Cool! Reggie is starting to think Aline is dead!She approaches him and asks cautiously, “Reggie... are you thinking that Aline is dead?”“I know, it sounds too cruel. I'm supposed to be the fiancé who never gives up hope, but... Why hasn't Aline tried to contact me?”“She left her cell phone behind.” Laura talks like she's dumb.“Yes, but did she have to be away from home that long just because of the sergeant?” Reggie is unconvinced, “Mr. and Mrs. Mendonça are taking the worst, and I sometimes think

Chapter 789 Who Remained Faithful and Loyal
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? Th

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

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

In the hospital corridor, Bartolomeo was serious, receiving Reginaldo's call.“Yes, son, congratulations on the mission accomplished. We got rid of Henry without bloodshed. 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...”
