At the Laura Fabrics store, the owner appears more smiling than before. Paula is at her post, without giving the impression that she arrived late.

“Good morning, Laura! Today you came in more and more cheerful.”

Laura sighs vibrantly, “I sometimes wonder if I deserve it all.”

“What are we talking about?” Paula blinks in curiosity.

“Do you remember what happened yesterday when Reggie was taking me out?” Laura starts.

Paula loses some of her joy. She remembers that after Laura left, Paula had to put up with a grumpy Jacob.

“Yes, I came in, and you were leaving. Mr. Fabray looked upset.”

Laura looks over the counter and notices that Jacob is still gone. She calls her, “Let's go to my office.”

The two ladies go there.

After closing the door, Laura continues, “So, Reggie was upset because he heard Jacob finally confess his love to me.”

Paula gasps, and then exclaims, “OH! I knew it, I always knew he was into you, my friend!”

Laura shrugs, “So what? How many times has he denied it? I could

Fortunately, some of those memories will no longer recur.Antonio Ferreira and Eduardo Casemiro will no longer appear in this house, disturbing and ruining the good vibes, disturbing the peace he needed with Laura.Now Faron was the one who acted as a butler and opened the door for Bartolomeo and Sylvia, “Good morning, everyone.”“Hi, Faron!

Today the day deserves a pool.”“Son, hello.” Sylvia hugs and ki

    Laura doesn't know whether to laugh or cry at Jacob's announcement of wanting to leave the store. Paula is embarrassed and gestures to the other salespeople to go about their business.“Let's not interrupt, folks.”Laura realizes that she's left alone with Jacob and turns to him, “See? The matter is so embarrassing that no one wanted to stick around.”“That's why I insist that we talk in your office,” Jacob growls.“That is out of the question.” Laura shakes her head, “Jacob, I need you here in my shop. I hired you to help me, not for you to get your hopes up on me.”Jacob clenches his fists, “Is it such a serious crime?”“Yes, when the other person does not respond to you! Jacob, you have a girlfriend willing to lose the ability to walk. Why would you be thinking of me just now that Reggie and I have agreed to marry?”“Because I was stupid not to admit how I feel,” Jacob speaks with fervor.“You’re being dumb NOW.” Laura walks away, “Especially with this dismissal talk.”“I'm not goi

    Faron answers the Fabray House door for Natalia and Matias.“Hi, Faron! How nice to see you here.” Matias greets him.“My former employers allowed me to come here since Boss Reginaldo is no longer living at Mendonça Manor.”“That's a shame.” Natalia comments, “The fact that Reggie is no longer there because of Aline's death makes me a little sad. But on the other hand, Reggie has found happiness again.”“I hope I can get along with the next Mrs. Fabray.” Faron confesses, “I didn't have the opportunity, but I know how Miss Mendonça hated Miss Correia.”“We are here to break that ice,” Natalia says.Reginaldo emerges from the pool area wearing just his beach trunks, drying himself with a towel, “Ah, sis, Matias, you're here. How is the beach house?”“It's still in the same place. Nobody stole anything.” Matias speaks jokingly.“Also, with the security system in place, and with everyone knowing whose house it is... No thief would dare to rob a Neves' house.”“Where are our parents?” Nata

Let's cut the formality, please.”“OK... Sylvia.” Marianne goes to the sofa.Sylvia sits on the other sofa, “I look forward to meeting your daughter and discussing our ideas for the ceremony.”“Me too, Sylvia.” Marianne is a little embarrassed, “Although Laura and I have something personal to ask you.”“Don't be intimidated. Tell me.” Sylvia leans forward.Marianne feels that she will be thrown out of the mansion, but speaks bravely, “Laura asked if we can make the preparations from scratch. She wouldn't like to know that you're going to reuse everything you've arranged for Reggie and Aline's wedding.”Sylvia is shocked by the request, leaning against the sofa.“Hmm... I hadn't thought of that...”“I was very rude, right?” Marianne worries.“No, not at all!” Sylvia hurries to calm her down, “On second thoug

    At the Fabray House, Reginaldo is taken aback by the question about George.After giving Taddeo a good look, he decides to comment, “Guys, I want everyone to have fun at my wedding. If Taddeo can't have fun without his son, then let him in.”Taddeo wonders, “Reggie, you're the groom and the master of the party. I don't want to impose my will, I'm the 'invader' of the family. I don't have the slightest power among families—”“Stop, Taddy.” Reginaldo starts laughing, “I know you're all that, but I'm not going to rub it in your face. Perhaps George will use this as an opportunity to reflect on what is going on in his life.”“Is he working on something else?” Bartolomeo asks interested.Taddeo frowns, “You know, I still don't know the answer. The bills are being paid, and no one has borrowed money from me. So I assume they are up to something.”Reginaldo nods, “I’m just going to object to the presence of a certain person.”Taddeo takes a deep breath, “Carla.”“They’re not married yet, and

    George shows up at the Mares agency and meets with Henry in his office.“Hello, boss!” George greets him, “How's your father?”“My father has already returned to Linhares, driving in a rented car.” Henry notices that George is not being himself, “Maybe I should ask you how you are, huh?”George sighs and sits down opposite each other, “You won't believe what happened at my sister's shop.”“Try me.” Henry grins and leans forward. He won’t dismiss this gossip!George takes a deep breath, “A guy at the store who worked with my sister decided it was the perfect time to confess that he was in love with her, confident that she would give up the great love of her life, your cousin.”Henry nods, “I read in some tabloid that my cousin is over the suicidal bride.”George smirks, “I don't think he ever got over my sister.”Henry scrutinizes George with his gaze, “You never liked Aline Mendonça, right?”“I left her unable to walk for two days straight, but she rejected me.” George responds in a m

    At the Mares Agency, George is fearful when he receives a call from his father. Thinking about what Henry said, he answered cautiously.“Hello, Father.”“George, I'm glad you answered me,” Taddeo exclaims excitedly in his apartment.“You look like you have good news, Father.” George tries to be casual.“And I have! Are you aware that Reggie's family is here to arrange the wedding?”“I have heard of it,” George responds distantly, looking at Henry.Henry catches the meaning in his real estate agent's desperate gaze.“Well then, I have good news for you.” Taddeo sounds like a herald, “I went to Fabray House, I talked to the sovereign Bart Fabray, and he authorized me to invite you to the wedding feast!”“NO!” George exclaims.Taddeo thinks George was exclaiming positively and laughs, “He, he, hard to believe, huh? But that's right, son. By the way, Reggie came into the library and said you could go, except for Carla, obviously.”George sees this as a chance to escape, “If Carla won't go

Hey, what happened to your cell phone?”“You won’t believe it.” Carla puts the device aside and stands up, “I think it broke. It was just what I needed right now.”George smiles, “Well, don't worry, dear. Perhaps our streak of bad luck is ending.”Carla smiles hopefully, “What do you mean?”“Perhaps what you've been waiting for regarding Reggie and Laura's marriage will come to fruition.” George sits in the armchair and takes off his shoes.“Tell me more!” Carla's eyes glisten in anticipation.“Well...” George adds suspense, “My Dad called me. He visited the Fabray House—”“What house is this?” As she is no longer a vlogger or Influencer, Carla is completely out of the news.“It was the house where Reggie lived when he was married to Laura.” George explains, “It used to be called ‘Ferreira House’, but now that Reggie has bought it, he has ch

    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

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.
