Matias and Natalia are shocked when they see Aline's closed face and frown in front of Anestor. Yes, they knew about the animosity between them, but hasn’t that been months? Shouldn't there be forgiveness in these hours?“Hello, Anestor.” Aline responds bitterly, “Do you want to try again to get Natty to miscarry the baby?”“Aline!” Matias scolds her, “Please, let's forget about that unpleasant incident.”“I wasn't talking about you, Aline.” Anestor answers with a slight ironic smile, “But it's a pleasure to see you again. It must be a relief not to have Antonio Ferreira to remember who you are anymore.”“No, and you're certainly relieved that the rogue is gone. Now Sabrina Guedes is yours, and so is the hotel!”Anestor clears his throat, “The hotel will be your fiancé’s. I'll just take care of it. And yes, Sabrina and I love each other and we’ll marry someday. I think I deserve to have a woman in my life, don't I?”Aline swallows some rudeness and responds with an enigmatic smile, “O

Aline is stunned to hear Bartolomeo's theory which could very well be true.“Bart... please, don't tell me that—”“Yes, it's a theory, I have no proof.” Bartolomeo gestures for Aline to calm down, “I just have the information that Henry is no longer in Linhares. There were rumors that Henry was working with his father in Linhares, but the partnership wasn't working, since Henry only lived at parties. But, nothing prevents Gilson, tired of his son wasting his life, to correct his rebellious son and instigating him to come here to provoke the cousin he hates so much.”“But how would they get something like that?” Aline is appalled.“It's easy: they just need to open a real estate agency with a completely different name and business name, without using the Fabray name, like Gomes Estates, and then attach it to the Fabray Network. Remember, Aline, that not all real estate agencies that exist under our domain have the same name as if it were something uniform.”“But for such a thing, would

Bartolomeo and Aline talk about the agency they consider suspicious located on Verde Mar Street.“Well, what else did Faron find out?” Bartolomeo asks, interested.“Not much. They don't have a banner or a sign with phone numbers for interested customers.” Aline frowns, “However, Faron described the place as full. A very smart real estate agent approached him, but he didn't give information when he noticed that Faron was in beach clothes. Meaning, the guy already has experience in detecting potential buyers from curious people.”“Hmm... A new agency, but experienced realtors. What else?” Bartolomeo smiles slightly.Aline responds in surprise, “They have a poster for a real estate development by Rocha Constructions.”Bartolomeo snaps his fingers, “That's easy to find out! We can safely ask Josias Rocha or his son if they've signed a contract with another real estate agency.”Aline sighs, “Too bad we don't have exclusivity.”“We can't handle selling all the real estate projects that the

Reginaldo enters his office and closes the door. He returns the call to his father.“Hello, Dad?”On the other side, Bartolomeo is walking through the Mendonça Manor garden. Around him, gardeners tend to the grass.“Son, I need to tell you something new. I called Josias Rocha to find out if he signed a contract with a new real estate agency.”“And what did he say?” Reginaldo asks anxiously.“He didn't confirm it, although he did say Alan may have done the transaction.” Bartolomeo explains, “Do you think we should contact the son and current president of the company?”“I think the CEO should know better.” Reginaldo states, “I'll contact him.”“Do it, son, because Josias Rocha said he entrusted us with two real estate developments.”“TWO?” Reginaldo becomes more suspicious, “We've only released one recently. I'm not aware of another one—”Bartolomeo responds in a somber tone, “Do you know what that means, son? My fear is confirmed. I'm inclined to think that the new real estate agency b

As night falls, Laura meets George in the hallway of his apartment.“Hi, little brother, you're coming back from work. Good, I wanted to talk to my future sister-in-law.”“So let's go inside. Today has been a tense day. I hope you cheer me up with some good news.” George smiles as he takes the key out of his dress pants pocket.Upon unlocking the door, George and Laura enter. Carla is in the kitchen preparing dinner.“Hello, good evening! We have a visitor for dinner.”“Look, I'll end up accepting the invitation, huh? There's nothing at home to eat.” Laura jokes, “Mom and Dad must have moved back by now, right?”“Yes, they called me.” George starts to remove his tie, “Thank goodness the apartment is still available.”“Well, now they can live in their love corner, having the privacy they want, without fearing for the rogue,” Laura says, sitting down on the sofa. Then she looks at the kitchen wall and asks, “What about the neighbor writer?”“He disappeared.” Carla says, “We never saw hi
