Sandro showed up at the police station and went straight to Lieutenant Ribeiro's office.Being Mark's father-in-law, he got that kind of privilege.Ribeiro was reviewing a list of commercial buildings that could serve as a hideout for Drakov, but when Sandro arrived, he wisely hid the sheet of paper."Lieutenant Ribeiro, am I interrupting some investigation?" Sandro asked."Not much. If they let you through, it's because it's urgent, right?" Ribeiro smiled charismatically.Sandro finished coming in. "It really is urgent. I just came from Ferro House, visiting my daughter. Mary Ellen must have told you what happened."Ribeiro swallowed hard. He didn't want the whole world broadcasting his relationship with Mary Ellen.Still, it made sense that he'd read the update in his dear girlfriend's column!"Miss Vasconcelos lost the baby, and your daughter suddenly disappeared to Sunset Village." Ribeiro summarized what he'd read."She came back home, feeling safer." Sandro continued, frowning.

"Have you two ever talked about it, girlfriend?" Luana asked, wanting to confirm her theory."Since when do we manage to talk about anything, Luana?" Briana sighed while still reading the post. "Remember, the last time, we argued fiercely about the bet I never accepted.""She came to your house to discuss it, and you finally showed her the nursery." Luana smiled wickedly. "I wish I'd seen the show.""The show had a tragic ending." Briana frowned. "If you'd been here, maybe you could've served as a witness.""I can't believe Katrina's going to accuse you of pushing her!" Luana reacted horrified.Briana put the phone on the table, looking at her friend. "Too late. She already called me early this morning, threatening to make me pay for everything bad I've done to her.""But you've never done anything bad to her!" Luana exclaimed indignantly."I know, you know... but does Katrina's disturbed mind know?" Briana buried her hands in her hea

Ribeiro showed up at Ferro House as promised. Luana was still around.Briana received Ribeiro in the living room. Regis was placing cream cookies and fennel tea on the coffee table."Good afternoon, Lieutenant Ribeiro." Briana greeted him. "How's Mary Ellen?"Ribeiro smiled faintly. Everyone wants to know about his relationship with Mary Ellen!Do people think the lieutenant couldn't get a girlfriend?"Mary Ellen's fine, working hard." Ribeiro sat on the other sofa."Good. I hope she keeps doing well, writing successful articles that get shared." Briana alluded to the latest one.Ribeiro wasn't dumb, he knew what it was about. "Mrs. Ferro, I need to talk about what happened last week. Knowing your cousin's nature, did you ever think about calling the police?""Never." Briana shook her head. "It would've been just another headache for us. As soon as Domitila found Katrina, Mark quickly told me to pack my bags and hide in Sunset

"Listen here, Karl!" Mark pointed his finger at his friend and business partner, who was now being a real pain in the neck. "You'd better let this matter die, or I'll tell Luana about it, got it?""But why, if you have no proof?" Karl lifted his chin, confident."Karl, I SAW the photos." Mark crossed his arms. "You had photos of Celia saved on your computer. You can say you regretted it and deleted the folder, that you decided to stay faithful to Luana in every way. But saying that controversial material never existed... no way!""Mark, don't be paranoid! Am I going to have to password-protect my computer and always shut it down before heading to the studios?" Karl played the victim."Maybe, if you still have something to hide." Mark took a deep breath and stormed out.His wife had higher priority than an unrepentant offender.Karl pursed his lips, not liking being confronted one bit.Then, when he saw no one was coming, he grabbed hi

"Yes, Luana." Briana decided to stay neutral. "Chris and Elara are getting along really well. Soon you'll get the wedding invitation.""Will I even deserve to be invited?" Luana raised her eyebrows. "By now, Chris must have told Elara who I am. She must be dying of jealousy!"Mark frowned. "Why? You two never had a real relationship."Luana nodded, a bit intimidated by Mark's blunt statement.Mark wasted no time turning back to Ribeiro. "I want to go to the station right now to handle the restraining order. My wife is in danger, as you yourself sensed."Ribeiro stood up. "Then let's go. Mrs. Ferro, Miss Barros, excuse us."Briana waved goodbye, still getting used to the idea that she'd have to go to these extremes if she wanted a little of peace.******Meanwhile, Claudia showed up with a huge bruise in Gilson's office.She only didn't slam the door hard so as not to irritate her husband, aware that she needed his support this time.Sandro and Nadir turned to her with maximum disdain.
