Henry stares at his uncle who arrived unexpectedly in his office.

Bartolomeo was in a pinstripe suit, arms crossed, and his gaze was penetrating and severe, staring at Henry as if he were a disgusting cockroach.

“So this is where the clandestine agency works.” Bartolomeo didn't ask.

“UNCLE!” Henry stands up abruptly, “Why did you come all this way just to offend me?”

“I don’t live that far away.” Bartolomeo looks around, “I came to see how the illegal agency works.”

“Don’t offend my workplace,” Henry grumbles.

“This agency is not part of the Fabray Network.” Bartolomeo reasons with him, “Your father tried, but when I was informed, I checked the system. He hid that you were the one taking care of here, therefore, the integration of this agency into the Fabray Network is denied.”

Henry's eyes widen, “WHAT? You can't do that! Several clients that my realtors and I were able to capture came just because of our last name!”

Bartolomeo shrugs, “Well, it’s good that you continue with the name

    Paula and Bartolomeo enter Laura's office. She's not there yet.“Your future daughter-in-law hasn’t arrived yet, so we can talk here quickly.” Paula closes the door bitterly.“I don’t know if the conversation will be ‘quickly’.” Bartolomeo warns her, “Miss Santos, I need to inform you that you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into.”Paula rolls her eyes, “I’ve heard that a zillion times. Henry is evil, he hates Reggie, they’re vying for the throne, blah, blah, blah. I don't need any of that, sir. I love Henry and I'm going to marry him, not Reggie... And certainly not you.”Bartolomeo raises his eyebrows. What does HE have to do with it?“Miss Santos, knowing these problems, do you still insist on marrying my nephew? Do you want these disputes to be passed from father to son? Gilson hates me, and unfortunately, he poisoned my nephew's mind to wage war against my son. I don’t want my grandchildren to go through the same thing.”“They won’t do it because I won’t allow them.” Paul

    In George and Carla's apartment, the husband goes to the living room with his cell phone ringing in his hand. George, however, has a scared expression, not wanting to answer the call at all.When the person on the other end insists on calling, he answers, “Hello?”“If you don’t answer me, I’ll go to your apartment, or better yet, I’ll go to your place of work.”“What do you want, Henry?”On the other side, Henry is leaning against his chair and with his feet on the desk, very relaxed, “I want to settle the score with you. How can you leave my agency and go work for my enemy just like that?”George tenses, “You can’t do anything to me. Reggie will stay by my side, he’s my friend.”Henry grins devilishly, “So I suppose you told him that while you hated Aline Mendonça, you were working with me, making me a lot of money. If you stayed here, you would see the engagement ring I bought for Paula.”George sits on the couch, “I haven’t told him, and I hope I never will.”"HA, HA, HA!" Henry la

    Paula leans against the half-open door of her lover's office because she doesn't want to go in and interrupt the conversation he's having.“It must be something important, I can’t get in the way,” Paula speaks to herself.However, she can't help but listen to her fiancé... talking a bit harshly and sternly.What is happening?Paula frowns and tunes her ears. She didn't want to spy on Henry, but...“Dad, the situation is getting out of control!” Henry complains on his cell phone, “I'm still not over George abandoning me for Reggie. I couldn’t resist and called to threaten him.”On the other side, Gilson becomes impatient, “Son, don’t be hasty. Leave this traitor alone, we have more important things to deal with. I liked that you finally proposed. Do you know when Reggie’s wedding is?”“I don’t know, I wasn’t invited,” Henry answers wryly, “I’ll ask Paula. She was definitely invited.”Paula narrows her eyes even more. What tone of voice is that?Gilson continues, “OK, you settle the sco

    At Gomes Estates, Bruno met with his real estate agents to discuss an issue.Everyone was standing at the back of the agency.“Guys, I hope everyone had a good lunch. Crystal Blue continues to surprise us. Did I already tell you that I had the privilege of following this restaurant since it opened?”Everyone laughs, considering Bruno is old. The restaurant appeared in 1983. Thirty-nine years have passed.Bruno gestures and continues, in good humor, “Anyway, here’s the deal: you all know that George and Carla Correia were forgiven by Reggie, our boss. That's excellent news. Now I have been informed by our colleague that Carla will return to her channel and presence on social media.”Everyone stays quiet for a few seconds, assimilating the meaning of the news.Bianca risks asking, “Does this mean she will work with us again, helping us prospect clients?”Bruno smiles, “That will depend on you. I want to know if you guys can trust Carla Correia again.”The real estate agents look at each

    Night came, and Paula didn't show up.Reginaldo appears, coming home from work, and finds his fiancée sitting on the sofa in the foyer, with wrinkles on her forehead expressing concern. She is sending a voice message.“Paula, I’ve lost count of how many messages and attempts to call I’ve made. Please answer the phone. If not, I’ll call the police. There are already enough people disappearing in Sunset Village, I don’t want to find out that you’re next!”Reginaldo's eyes widen and he approaches her, “Honey, what's happening? Paula doesn’t answer her cell phone?”He sits next to her. Laura takes a deep breath.“She called me when I was about to have lunch.” Laura narrates, “She looked desperate, and I could have sworn Paula was crying. I invited her here. It didn't seem like something to discuss over the cell phone, she refused to answer me. But it's already seven o'clock at night and she still hasn't shown up, and now, she doesn't answer her cell phone anymore.”“Was she crying?”“She

    Reginaldo and Laura are shocked by the police information.“Mr. Officer, I can’t understand.” Reginaldo asks, “If the victim managed to escape, what is my cousin doing giving a statement?”“Your cousin lives on the same floor.” The police officer informs them.Reginaldo is astonished. Laura notices his reaction.“Honey, it seems like I forgot to tell you.” Laura states, “Paula had told me a long time ago that her boyfriend lived around here.”“How did Henry come to live in this corner of Sunset Village? He was determined to stay well hidden from me, huh?” Reginaldo is outraged.“I think he was hoping to buy a mansion after the wedding.” Laura opines.The other police officer who was taking Henry's statement came down the stairs, “Mr. Fabray has just given the statement, sir.”“Can we go into his apartment, or is the area cordoned off?” Reginaldo asks eagerly.“Only Miss Santos’ apartment is isolated. Please, don’t disturb the crime scene. The forensic team is there.” The police office

    Reginaldo and Laura look at each other indignantly. They suspect Henry of having done something to Paula to make her run away, but now, Henry is taking advantage of a detail to play the victim.Reginaldo decides to be transparent, “OK, but don't think we want to hear you! My father came here to see this ridiculous engagement up close. He talked to you and called me, but he didn’t say he was going to talk to Paula.”“Of course, the old man was very cunning and mean!” Henry yells.“He only told me before dinner.” Laura states, “He also asked Paula to reconsider the engagement.”Henry shakes his head dissatisfiedly, “No, he must have said something else. Paula wouldn't be too upset just because of that. There are a lot of people telling her not to marry me. One more comment from Uncle Bart wasn't going to change her mind.”Reginaldo takes a deep breath, “Well, there is a possibility that this robbery has nothing to do with what we’re thinking. The fact is that the police believe that Pau

First, we received a call from Matias.”Reginaldo rushes in, “Oh, my God! Did something happen to Natty?”“No, son, don’t worry!” Sylvia gestures, “Well, it happened, but it’s not a tragedy. Your nephew was born. Natty went into labor and is being treated at the hospital. By now, our grandson must be crying, registering himself in the world.”Reginaldo and Laura are relieved and laugh.“Cool!” Reginaldo applauds, “I’m very happy for them!”“Early tomorrow, we’ll return to Victoria to help them.” Bartolomeo states, “Meanwhile, you stay—”“Nothing like that!” Reginaldo protests, wagging his index finger, “I'm going with you.

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.

    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?

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

    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...”
