Building My Life Chapter 1196 Went to Get Wool and Left Sheared
“DAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDYYYYY!!”Ephraim runs still in tacky pajamas from his room to the guest room when he hears his dear daughter's crazy scream.If last night he didn't want to open the door when his daughter was being brutally possessed by Josias, now he breaks down the door like Indiana Jones.Katherine's face is expressing panic and terror. She's wrapped in the blankets and is now able to lean back against the headboard.“DAUGHTER, what the hell happened to you?” Ephraim asks this foolish question.“Where is he, daddy, where is my husband?”“What are you talking about?”“I woke up and he's not here!” Katherine cries like a little girl, even though yesterday she was moaning and screaming like a mature woman.Ephraim calms down, “Ah, daughter, is that it? Surely your husband is in the bathroom cleaning himself.”“The window was closed yesterday!” Katherine points to the open window.Ephraim frowns, not understanding what Katherine is getting at. He goes to the window.Their house is on
Building My Life Chapter 1197 Respect the Dead
Melissa welcomes Cristina and Moacyr to the Rocha penthouse. When they go to the living room, Elza is on the couch with a cup of tea in her hand. The radio plays “I Adore Mi Amor” by Color Me Badd.“Have a seat, folks.” Melissa sits in the armchair that belonged to Josias.“Melissa, we came to announce that the wedding has been postponed until next year,” Cristina announces.“Guys, what is that?” Melissa doesn't agree, “You can't deny yourselves happiness because of something that happened to me.”“What happened to you affects all of us.” Moacyr replies, “I miss that good guy.”Elza smiles slightly, “Josias always spoke well of you as his father, much better than Tony.”“Thank you, Mrs. Queiroz. We take this opportunity to extend our condolences.”Melissa wants to stick to the main subject, “Moacyr and Cristina, you must continue with the preparations. More so, I intend to attend.”“Wouldn't it be painful for you to be surrounded by so many happy people?” Cristina questions her, worri
Building My Life Chapter 1198 The Will
The next day, Igor opens the door to the Rocha Constructions meeting room and smiles to find the audience in their seats.Melissa, Simeon, Dora, William, Elza, João Paulo, Vernon, and Uélton eagerly await the reading of the will.“Let's get on with it, I have an interview scheduled,” Vernon grumbles rudely.“We are about to begin at the appointed time indicated by the widow, Mr. Queiroz.” Igor scolds him, “If the schedule doesn't match your commitments, you can leave.”“And miss the party? Never.” Vernon responds by trying to be funny, but it only makes those present more embarrassed.Igor sits in the presidential chair, “Well, gentlemen, here is the will that Josias had written before he died. He intended to modify it, but unfortunately, he passed away before doing so. Therefore, it is this one that will be in force.”Everyone nods.Igor removes the pages from the brown envelope and begins to read, “I, Josias Rocha, in full possession of my mental faculties, am writing this will with

Simeon and Dora are once again vexed by their son.“Son, sit down, you are not in some wedding,” Simeon orders him.But William insists on neighing, “Father, don't you see the absurdity of this will? Soon Igor will read that Josias left money for Pamela!”Uélton gets up, “Something against Josias leaving money for my son?”“Of course!” William yells, “So far my name hasn't even been mentioned.”Igor clears his throat, “William, you didn't expect Josias to leave Rocha Constructions for you, did you?”William takes offense at this, “Are you saying I can't do it?”Dora puts her hand on her glabella, “William, sit down and stop paying the sham.”William sits, frowning and unhappy.“Guys, that was the end of the will. Any questions?”“Not even my parents and Caio?” William neighs again.“William, stop it!” Simeon punches the mahogany table, “We don't need money, and if we do, your sister won't deny us.”“Of course, Will, I say the same to you and Caio.” Melissa responds, “That's why Josias
Building My Life Chapter 1200 A Tragic Year
Ernesto and Lilian are happy to live in the penthouse with their daughter.“Mrs. Rocha, thanks for the opportunity. And may God bless the soul of Josias.”Ernesto hides a giggle.“And that's not all, Lilian.” Melissa continues, “Josias has determined that R$2,000.00 be deposited for Sara to withdraw with interest when she turns 18.”Ernesto again has to feign surprise while Lilian just needs to faint.“Oh gosh! Praise be to Josiah!”Ernesto hugs his wife, “This is what we get for being loyal to our boss.”João Paulo sits on the sofa, “Mother, with the R$ 125,000.00 I will receive, I am seriously thinking about investing in my journalism school.”Elza nods, “What a great idea, son! You can go to Victoria to study at UFES. I'm sure Josias always wanted you to fulfill your dream.”“My father was furious.”“Leave it to me, I'll fix it.” Elza chuckles.“I'll lend you my revolver.” Ernesto jokes and everyone bursts out laughing.******Green Park Church was closed and silent. However, the p

1992Ernesto takes Alan to school. The heir to Rocha Constructions will now attend the first grade of elementary school.“I'm so nervous, Ernesto! What will I find?” Alan asks anxiously.“New classmates and new teachers. Continue to behave like the good student you always were.” Ernesto smiles and makes 'ok' with his thumb.“Yes, I will behave so that Dad can be proud in heaven.” Alan comments.Ernesto's heart sinks. It's been hard to hide from everyone, including his wife, that Josias is actually alive and about to return.After Alan disappears among the countless students, Ernesto goes to the usual payphone and dials the number he already knows by heart.At Josias's hideout, which appears to be a rustic wattle and daub house, the phone rings, and a bearded Josias answers.“Hello?”“Boss, here I am again.”“Did you research what I asked for?”“Yes. The Bezerra family currently consists of the farm's owner, Ephraim Bezerra, and their only child, Katherine Bezerra. He has a younger bro

At Crystal Blue, Maggie was with a Maggiezine photographer about to take a picture of Kelvin. The middle brother was smiling, arms crossed and chest cocked, in a sexy, confident pose.“Done, it was perfect!” Maggie gets excited.“It's best to make it clear to your readers that I'm just the maître d, not the owner of the restaurant.” Kelvin jokes.“Don't worry, I'll send Caesar to warn them,” Maggie responds between giggles.Daryl approaches wearing a dolman, “Dear sister, don't you think you're exaggerating? I don't know how to cook, I only know how to manage.”Maggie isn't overwhelmed by doubts and objections, “Trust me, bros. This publicity article will bring more customers here.”“We are thinking about hiring more employees because we are not keeping up with the customers' flow.” Daryl asks, “And you want to get me more customers?”Maggie kisses Daryl on the cheek to answer the question.******At the Rocha penthouse, Ernesto returns from the street and finds Melissa having a cup o
Building My Life Chapter 1203 Take My Child With You
Josias is going around in circles, wondering how to get home without causing harm to family and friends.“Now that I know enough about this Bezerra family, I can go back. And if they want to make a fuss, I have Igor and the entire Lagoon City to defend me.”The door of the house opens and Nathanael enters, the owner of the house who welcomed our hero.“Mr. Rocha, are you up yet?”Josias notices that Nathanael is with what appears to be a pig, without the head.“Is this our lunch?”“No, this will be our dinner.” Nathanael wisely responds, “My wife will cook this pork for hours to stay healthy. The doctor at the medical post right there taught us that it's bad to eat undercooked pork.”Josias is moved by what Nathanael says. He has known since the age of ten that raw meat can give worms, especially the dreaded 'solitary'. But the people of the countryside had to learn in adulthood with the doctor at the medical post that is 'right there', that is, five kilometers away.“Nathanael, I hav

At the quiet, tree-lined Ibrahim Square, Sarah sat alone on a bench, her gaze resting on an issue of the Maggiezine. She flipped through the pages, but her mind was elsewhere — clearly disconnected from whatever her eyes were scanning.Lost in thought, she barely noticed Reynaldo approaching until his voice startled her back to the present.“Sarah, thank goodness you’re safe, sound... and still a virgin!”She nearly jumped off the bench, utterly horrified by his sudden arrival — and even more so by his tactless choice of words.“What is going on with this town?” she snapped. “Is there something in the water?”“I drink charcoal-filtered water,” Reynaldo replied matter-of-factly, as if that settled the issue.“Well, good for you.” Sarah crossed her arms. “Reynaldo, can you explain to me if you have something against J.J.?”He sat down beside her, his demeanor defensive yet trying to remain calm.“I have nothing against him,” he insisted. “I met J.J. recently — when he came back ‘from th
Chapter 3247 Understanding What's Going On
At the Vasconcelos Fabrics headquarters, J.J. remained seated at his desk, a faintly amused smirk displaying on his lips. Across from him stood Dylan, still in his police uniform, exuding the solemn demeanor of a man trying to sort through a delicate situation.“You’ve been reported for assault, J.J.,” Dylan announced, his tone neutral but firm.J.J. didn’t flinch. “So the wuss decided to file a complaint instead of retaliating like a real man,” he replied coolly, barely looking up from his desk.Dylan’s brow furrowed. “As an officer of the law, I’m not in the business of revenge or retaliation.” His mouth curved slightly, but there was no warmth in the smile. “But I do try to understand what’s going on. According to Reynaldo, you snapped when you saw him near Sarah Paes.”At that, J.J. finally lifted his gaze, his demeanor shifting from flippant to serious. “Since you’re following in your father’s footsteps, I assume you know who Sarah is.” He paused for effect, then added gravely, “

Brigitte and Theodore were chatting animatedly in the bustling corridors of Damascene Lawyers, sidestepping lawyers and clients moving briskly through the hall.“How are your studies going, Theodore?” Brigitte asked with a warm smile.“Excellent,” he replied. “Every now and then my dad hands me a case to look over.”“Must be nice, being the boss’s son,” she teased.Theodore chuckled heartily, clearly enjoying the perks of nepotism. But as they approached Brigitte’s office, their conversation came to an abrupt halt.“I’ve been waiting for you, you little fox!” came a sharp voice from down the hall.Brigitte froze, startled by the sight of Suzy standing at her office door, arms crossed and a glare cold enough to freeze hell over.******In the elegant living room of the Mountain Penthouse, Diane sat beside Felipe on the plush sofa, her demeanor gentle and maternal, despite the fact her son was a grown man. She looked at him with quiet concern.“Are you really sure about ending the relat
Chapter 3245 The Kiss of the One We Love
That afternoon, the living room of the Mountain Penthouse was tense and electric. Diane stepped in, only to find her son Felipe in the middle of a heated argument with Jake Cogo. Her expression immediately twisted into one of displeasure.“Hey, what’s going on here?” she asked sharply. “Mr. Cogo, my son needs to rest.”Jake didn’t flinch. “I can see that, Mrs. Mountain. But this is urgent.”Placing her purse on the sideboard, Diane raised an eyebrow. “And what’s so important that it needs to be discussed right now?”Jake turned to her. “Felipe says he wants to break up with my sister. I have to be involved in this.”A sly, almost mischievous smile tugged at Diane’s lips. “And where is Suzy, by the way?”Jake flinched, suddenly sheepish. “Er... she went to look for investors at—”“I don’t give a damn!” Diane exploded. “Mr. Cogo—”“Jake,” he corrected quickly.“‘Jake,’ I’m deeply disappointed in the way Suzy handled this whole situation. I was supporting her as my future daughter-in-law

In the elegant living room of the Mountain Penthouse, Mary gently rocked baby Anthony in her arms. The soft rhythm of her lullaby filled the space — until the sound of the doorbell cut through the quiet.“That’s odd,” Mary murmured, her brow furrowing. “No one called from the front desk...” She approached the door cautiously and asked, “Who is it?”A voice responded from the other side. “Jake Cogo!”Mary raised an eyebrow, surprised. “Hold on a second!”Just then, Felipe emerged slowly, dressed in a white robe, walking with measured steps — the toll of his recent hospital stay still evident in his posture.“Who is it, Mary?” he asked.“Jake Cogo,” she answered, puzzled. “Cousin, weren’t you dating his sister?”Felipe grimaced, visibly annoyed by the mention.“Mary, I’m not dating Jake,” he clarified. “You better take our little cousin to his crib.”Mary gave a small smile. “Oh, Anthony’s already asleep. My lullaby must’ve been either very soothing or incredibly boring.”Felipe chuckle

At Café Montanha, Rodrigo returned from the supermarket and took a long, satisfied look around his bustling business. Customers chatted over coffee and snacks, while Neilton and the other waiters moved about swiftly and professionally, serving with ease.“Hey, Rod! What’s up?” Neilton called out with a grin.Rodrigo replied, “Neil, sometimes I envy you for not having a mountain of problems.”Laughing, Neilton shot back, “And I envy you for having a big, noisy family.”Rodrigo paused, swallowing hard. “I’m sorry.”“Nah, I’m just joking — well, maybe not. I do wish I had at least a younger brother.”Rodrigo chuckled lightly. “Whenever I need to, I talk to Veronica over video call. Anyway, I meant the problems at the supermarket.”They made their way to the counter.“Still that issue with the truck from Bezerra Farm?” Neilton asked.“That’s resolved. But now we know why it happened.” Rodrigo lowered his voice, glancing around. “Be careful with the Borges brothers. They’re not who we thou
Chapter 3242 Not Such a Cordial Neighbor
At the Vaztrans office, Suzy walked in expecting to find Sofia at her desk. Instead, she was surprised to see Alan there alone.She had no idea she was about to be handled like livestock on its way to the slaughterhouse.“Alan, what a surprise. What are you doing here? Where’s Sofia?” she asked.Alan leaned back with a hint of irony in his tone. “Which of those two questions should I answer?”Suzy paused, confused by the odd remark.“We need to talk, Suzy,” he continued, pushing a check across the desk.Suzy’s breath caught as she picked it up and read the staggering amount.“This check...?” she whispered.“It’s the amount you invested in Vaztrans, plus ten percent in compensation, as outlined in your contract,” Alan explained coolly.“You’re... returning my investment?” she asked, her voice tight.“Exactly. We no longer require your partnership, Miss Cogo.”Suzy’s eyes narrowed. “May I ask what this is about?”“It’s simple,” Alan said, calm but firm. “My wife believes you’re not cont

In the Vaztrans offices, William extended a freshly written check to Sofia. Standing nearby, Alan wore a solemn expression, watching the transaction with quiet attention.“Here you go, my dear partner,” William said with finality. “This is our salvation.”Sofia took the check and her eyes widened with disbelief. “The bank’s never going to cash this much for Suzy,” she muttered.William shrugged indifferently. “Then they’ll figure out another way to get the money back to her.”Alan leaned forward, trying to get a better look at the amount. “My dad’s being pretty generous, huh?”“Thank God,” Sofia said. A relieved smile crept onto her face. “Any doubts I had about being accepted into this family are gone.” She brightened, holding the check delicately. “I’m even going to text Caroline. What do you think, honey?”Alan chuckled and leaned over, placing a gentle kiss on the crown of her head. “She’ll love that.”Still serious, William interjected, “So, who’s going to break the news?”Alan’s
Chapter 3240 You Keep the Cycle of Hate Spinning
At the Lafayette Mansion, in the elegantly furnished living room, Thierry was seething with fury. The revelation that criminals had used his supermarket as a stage for their schemes infuriated him.“How dare those idiots?” he barked. “And what about Leonardo? Isn’t he the top lawyer at Damascene Lawyers?”J.J. answered with a grim tone. “Apparently being a lawyer for the most prestigious firm in Lagoon City has become some sort of cover for him.”Rodrigo, firm and resolute, added, “Well, then we’ll have to tear that cover off. Brigitte and Little Theo can’t have their reputations stained.”“And let’s not forget,” J.J. continued, “my father is a client of that firm. He knows Miguel Damascene personally — he’s the current owner.”Thierry clenched his jaw. “And there’s more. My wife is Little Theo’s sister—”
