Paula returns to Laura Fabrics and finds Marianne at the checkout, disheartened by the events.“Mrs. Correia, has there been a theft in the store?”Marianne smiles politely, “No, Paula. 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... Mrs. Correia, I

In the afternoon, Joshua was summoned to talk to Reginaldo.Not knowing why, Joshua had a restless heart. Did he offend the Fabray Network heir in any way?Upon entering the office, he visualized Reginaldo sitting in his leather armchair like a true dominator.Joshua felt unable and unworthy to remain in the office, imagining himself violating a sacred area, “Mr. Fabray... 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... I dare not...”“I authorize you to dare,” Reginaldo answers in a lower tone, but equally frightening.Joshua looks toward the door, already envisioning an escape.“Mr. Fabray, I

At George's apartment, Laura and Carla are unable to agree on the plan to win Reginaldo back.Carla asserts, “Laura, I’m also rooting for you to defeat Aline and be the next Mrs. Fabray. But it turns out my fiancé needs to be on my side. Don't mix things up, we're still rooting for you.”Laura wonders, “I wanted both of them to be at my wedding.”“Maybe we will. By then, who knows, maybe Reggie and George will make up?”Laura glares at George, “How are they gonna make peace if big bro works with the enemy?”“What do you want me to do, little sister?” George asks with concern.“Go to the Ferreira Hotel. In fact, it looks like they're going to change their names.” Laura suggests.Carla, however, cackles outrageously as the Salem Witch, “Ha, ha, ha, ha! My George is not going to work as a bellboy or a hotel porter! How outrageous! Laura, are we no longer friends?”“Don't overdo it, Carla. Again, what do you have against lowly jobs?” Laura asserts, “I'm sure George would be the most hands

At Café Montanha, Reginaldo is surprised by Laura reacting desperately to him not leaving. She wants to be with him...Reginaldo calms down, “Sorry, Laura.”“No, darling, I'm sorry... I didn't want to give the impression that I supported that nonsense. But, unfortunately, Carla is accountable for what she does. Sometimes I try to advise her, but at the end of the day, the decision will always be hers.”Reginaldo smiles slightly, “Did you try to help her?”“In that case, I didn’t even know about it!” Laura complains, “As if Carla knew I would be against it if she said that to me. I don't think even George knew about it. He only reacted when Carla was already in tears, complaining about subscribers unfollowing her.”“Ah, is that what upset her the most?” Reginaldo asks scornfully, “The fact that her career was ruined? Well then, I don't regret anything. I'm very proud to have dissected that damn vlogger. And if George prefers to continue being engaged to an opportunist, then let him not

Laura arrives at her store, still thinking about what Reginaldo demanded of her for them to remain friends. Paula approaches her, equally worried.“Laura, I'm glad you're here. Are you feeling good?"“I’m meditating.” Laura realizes, "But you're not good either, Paula."“Tell me about yourself first.” Paula leads her to the counter.“Well, I've been talking to Reggie to ease him out of all this confusion surrounding Aline's disappearance.” Laura begins, "And I found out that he had a fight with my half-brother, breaking off the friendship."“Argh, what a bothersome thing.” Paula is sorry.“Yes, now Reggie demands that I break off my friendship with my future sister-in-law.” Laura sighs, “It's because he doesn't accept the fact that she did that Live rooting for Aline as if the two were still friends.”Paula is embarrassed, “I saw the video. I thi
