    "Disgusting!" Claudia snarled. "I thought I was the only one, but... How did you move on so fast, huh? You didn't have the guts to tell me to my face, you preferred to run away, huh?""I didn't want to say it in the apartment, where you could stop me," Rodolfo said with a sly smile on his lips."Of course I would've stopped you, you bastard!" Claudia barked.Rodolfo shook his head in disdain. "You'd better get back to work before someone hears you. Looks like I won't even need to confess to Seu Gilson.

Clayton decided. "After that, I'll schedule an urgent meeting with the Public Security Council. If you want to stick around, you can come along.""I gave up my privileges as Lord Ferro around here." Mark declined with a faint smile. "My commitment is in Braspolis, helping close this chapter.""Mark, seriously consider the chance to become who you really are again if you solve this mystery."

"We'll check it when we get to the office."Katrina turned to Claudia, suddenly smiling. "Well, Mom, I know someone who can check it for me. Celia."Sandro did "PFFFT" and spat out his sip of lemon balm tea. Nadir patted her husband's back, worried he'd choke."There, honey?""Cough, cough... COUGH!" Sandro recovered. He smiled awkwardly.

Tell Efraim I authorized it.”“Oh, that’s wonderful!” Mary Ellen clapped her hands. “I really hope Briana feels avenged and comes home as soon as possible.”“Me too.” Mark smiled, missing his beloved wife.******At the Vasconcelos Company, Elara positioned herself behind Christopher, trying to pull him back.
