Episode 5

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

VERONICA: I'll call Mrs. Riquehiros, so she realizes what her son is allowing, and I'll go home to see how much they've done and what they've stolen from me.

THIAGO: Go right away, when you have a list of everything lost, call me so I can go with the police.

VERONICA: Okay, we'll talk later.

After hanging up with her friend, Veronica called Mrs. Riquehiros.

MAGNOLIA: Good afternoon, Veronica.

VERONICA: Good afternoon, Mrs. Riquehiros. I was calling to invite you to dinner at my house tonight.

MAGNOLIA: Ohh, thank you for the invitation.

VERONICA: There's nothing to thank me for, it's my compensation for rejecting your invitation.

MAGNOLIA: Alright, I'll leave for your house in a few minutes.

VERONICA: Okay, I'll wait for you there.

The woman ended the call, organized her office, and headed to her house. Upon entering, she could see that everything was changed, the decorations, the photos, the furniture, the curtains, absolutely everything was changed and with terrible taste.

VERONICA: ((They left this place like a circus... Damned Santos))_(she thought as she went up to her room)

Upon entering, she saw all her belongings rummaged through, and almost all the jewelry Thiago had given her, and some she had bought herself, was missing from the jewelry box. She immediately called Thiago to send the police. The man immediately reported the theft of the jewelry, providing invoices and all the documentation as proof, demonstrating that they were pieces of great value.

XX: Miss Garcia, Mrs. Riquehiros is in the living room._(said from the other side of the door)

VERONICA: Thank you, don't let anyone enter the room._(leaving the place)

The woman went downstairs and found Mrs. Magnolia with a look of displeasure on her face.

MAGNOLIA: Veronica, can you explain to me why your house looks like the asylum of horrors?

VERONICA: I apologize, Mrs. Riquehiros, but Santos gave his friend and her mother permission to change whatever they wanted in the house.

MAGNOLIA: You, as the owner, should assert your word, how could you let them ruin this place?

VERONICA: Mrs. Riquehiros, in this house my word is worthless, your son took away all my rights and gave them to his best friend. If they want something, he simply agrees and scolds me if I don't agree.

MAGNOLIA: That good-for-nothing, how dare he take away your authority in your own house.

VERONICA: In his words, this house belongs to him and therefore he can do whatever he wants with it and bring whoever he wants.

While they were talking, Pamela and her mother arrived in the living room.

PAMELA: Good evening, Mrs. Riquehiros, it's a pleasure to have you in our house._(smiling)

MAGNOLIA: I suppose it was you who remodeled the place.

ROMA: You're absolutely right, the house was a real disaster of bad taste. But now everything is better and very elegant._(proud of her work)

MAGNOLIA: You think this circus is elegant? I want you to leave everything as it was, otherwise I'll kick you out of here.

SANTOS: Mother, this is my house and I'm the one in charge here._(entering the living room)

MAGNOLIA: And that's why you let them destroy the house, leaving it worse than a landfill?_(pointing at the place)

SANTOS: Mother, this…_(seeing how horrible the house looked)

PAMELA: Santos, you said we could decorate as we pleased.

SANTOS: Yes, but…

He couldn't say more, because one of the maids announced that the police had arrived.

SANTOS: Why are the police here?

VERONICA: Apparently, thieves entered our room and took my jewelry and some of my clothes.

MAGNOLIA: This is the last straw. Let the police in.

ROMA: No thief has entered here, Pamela took those things._(calmly)

PAMELA: That's right, Veronica, you don't use those things, so I took them. Santos said I could take whatever I wanted from the house.

VERONICA: You gave them permission to steal my things? You dared to give away things that aren't yours and that you don't even know how much they cost?

SANTOS: I'll replace them later, you don't use any of that and Pamela wanted it._(minimizing the situation)

MAGNOLIA: Have you lost your mind? How dare you give away your wife's things.

VERONICA: Lola, let the police in, those jewels are quite expensive and theft is theft.

The maid nodded and let the police in, who came with Thiago. Santos was furious at Veronica's exaggeration, how could she have called the police over something unimportant.

Police: We have been informed of a robbery on this property.

SANTOS: It was a misunderstanding, nothing has been stolen here.

VERONICA: Of course, my jewelry has been stolen. Gentlemen, a set of emerald jewelry, a diamond ring, two jewelry boxes containing rings, gold chains and earrings, as well as clothes from recognized brands, were stolen from me.

ROMA: How could an orphan with a minimum wage have something so expensive.

THIAGO: Because she does work to have her things, and the diamond ring and the jewelry set were my birthday gift. I have all the necessary documentation and since they have been stolen, they will have to pay.

SANTOS: Stay out of this.

PAMELA: So you're Veronica's lover.

VERONICA: So you're Santos's lover, a lover that he brought under my own roof and has given the authority of the house.

MAGNOLIA: Search the place and if you find the stolen jewelry, take those responsible to the police station._(furious at her son's audacity)

SANTOS: Veronica, I already told you that I'll replace those jewels later, Pamela wants them and you don't use them.

ROMA: You just want to get Santos's attention, having your lover by your side.

VERONICA: And you accept that your daughter is my husband's lover and, not content with that, they steal my belongings…_(before continuing to speak, she received a slap from Santos)
