Building My Life Chapter 1205 Exploiting the Brother
In the hut where Nathanael's family lives, he and his family have breakfast with Josias at a table that seems to have been carved by him.“Woman, our guest will have to come home.” Nathanael announces, “And our son will go with him.”Frederick’s face lights up with a smile, “Really, Dad?”Maria Aparecida is worried like any mother, “Who will take care of my son?”“Don't cry, woman, our guest will direct him.” Nathanael frowns.“Frederick is safe with me, Dona Maria.” Josias smiles to comfort her.“Oh, I don’t know, the big city is very dangerous.” Maria is still suspicious, “I hear every crime on the radio.”“I live in a penthouse on the top floor of the building, we have security,” Josias confirms.“Then I'll pack your things, son.” Maria Aparecida gets up and blesses herself for her son.“Remember, son: you go to work. No rowdy. Don't get involved with delinquents or get that AIDS thing, okay?”“I don't even know what AIDS is...” Frederick scratches the back of his head with bacon g
Building My Life Chapter 1206 Reversing the Situation
Outside the hut, Josias admires the scenery one last time before heading back to the city. The dense forest and the singing of canaries make him relax. He takes a deep breath of the pure country air.“I wish I could have a place like this... but duty in the big city calls me.”Frederick leaves the house with an improvised backpack on his back, as if he were going camping, “I'm ready, Mr. Rocha.”“You better call me Josias from now on.” Josias smiles at him.Maria Aparecida appears wiping tears with an old handkerchief. Nathanael hugs his wife from the side.“God bless you and protect you, dear son,” Maria says goodbye to her only child.“I will always write, mother.” Frederick hugs his parents.The problem is that the postal service is precarious in rural areas.“Nathanael, thank you so much for taking me in. You don't know how much you helped me.” Josias says goodbye to the farmer.“You're welcome, Mr. Rocha. I'm still amazed that Ephraim was able to do that.”“It was certainly that

Josias and Frederick are at the BR 101 bus stop, waiting for transport to go to Lagoon City. Josias sees the excitement of the change of air stamped on the farm boy's face.“Looking forward to seeing Lagoon City?”“Yes sir!” Frederick starts to chatter, “Is the beach at Sunset Village as beautiful and full of kittens as people say? And where do you work? Does everyone wear a suit like the fancy people on TV?”Josias chuckles, “One step at a time, Fred. First of all, I must warn you that we are not going to the penthouse.”“It's all right.”Josias is startled. Someone else would already be cussing Josias, but Frederick accepts his decisions without batting an eye.“I need you to help me probe the ground and see how my family is doing.”“OK, I'll help you.”Josias takes pity on Frederick and begins to wonder if he is exploiting the humble boy. But, the Lagoon City road bus approaches and he gestures to stop it.******At Marçal Publishing, the situation is tense between Shirley and Magg

Vânia enters the Rocha Constructions kitchen and finds Shirley noisily arranging the delicacies table.“Shirley, for Christ's sake; what happened?”Shirley hits the serving dish with the cups that almost fall over, “I fought again with my daughter, and I couldn't unmask her in front of the so-called husband!”Vânia rolls her eyes and approaches to steal butter cookies, “Again, my friend?”“She now wants to explore my second child's body.” Shirley whimpers.Vânia widens her eyes, “What? Will Maggiezine become an erotic magazine featuring naked men?”“That's what it looks like!” Shirley snarls, “This is what this crap is going to become now that control of the magazine is in her hands. If that other editor was still there, the idea would be barred.”Vânia throws some cookies in her mouth and says while chewing, “'That other editor', in this case, would be Vernon Queiroz.”“Himself. If he wasn't stupid about waging war against the Freire family, he would stop my daughter from exploiting

Tuesday. Igor is in his kitchenette wearing a dress shirt and boxer shorts while he irons his dress pants. His radio is playing “When a Man Loves a Woman”, by Michael Bolton, and Igor sings like he's in love.The phone rings and Igor rests the iron on the board to answer, “Hello?”On the other side, Melissa is distressed, “Igor, we need to talk again.”“Good morning, Melissa. How was the conversation with the scammer yesterday?”“That's where the situation is: is she really a scammer?”“I'm already ironing my clothes to go out. We meet at Rocha Constructions. Until later.”“See ya!” Melissa hangs up.Carlos approaches her, still wearing a white robe, “Have you arranged to see each other today?”Melissa turns to him, “Yes, grandpa. Let’s settle this issue.”“Do you believe she is telling the truth?”“Well, I'm remembering your advice about thinking about her son David.” Melissa sighs, “But if Josias confirmed that he was going to include him in the will... then everything changes...”J
Building My Life Chapter 1210 Investigations Begin
Josias enters the apartment he rented with a bag of bread from the bakery. It is the same apartment where Vera Reis lived.“Fred, tomorrow you will buy the bread.” Josias asks, “The attendant just passed out swearing I had come back from the dead.”“And how did you manage to disguise it?” Frederick’s eyes widen.“I told her and everyone who faced the scene that I was just alike and that many were confused.” Josias smiles slightly.“Be careful, sir.” Fred takes the bag. The two go to the kitchen, “Coffee is ready.”Josias notices that Frederick used the colander instead of the coffee maker. In her haste to move to Victoria, Vera had left many objects and appliances behind.“You'd better learn to use these gadgets, Fred.” Josias kindly explains it, “Because when I return to my family, you will continue to live here.”“First I need to find a job.” Frederick comments.“I passed by Crystal Blue and read a sign advertising waiter vacancies,” Josias informs him with interest.Having Frederic
Building My Life Chapter 1211 Suspect #2
Frederick opens the door to Crystal Blue and finds Kelvin and other waiters in the same heavy cleaning activity. A portable radio was playing “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred, matching the vision Melissa and Flavia had earlier.“Excuse me, is the owner here?” Frederick asks Kelvin.The young man stops cleaning the floor and faces the visitor, but Frederick was not impressed like the ladies before.“My brother is in his office, interviewing people for the waiter job.”Frederick lowers his head, “Oh, dammit, there's no more vacancies! Excuse me...”Kelvin narrows his eyes and takes a firm grip on Frederick’s wrist, “None of that, boy, our selection isn't over yet! Don't give up so easily, because then you won't get a job so fast. Brazil is not in its best economic period.”“Thanks. You know, I came from the countryside to try my luck in the big city.” Frederick speaks captivatingly.“If you can walk through the hall without slipping on the soap, my big brother's office is down the corr
Building My Life Chapter 1212 Children Are Innocent
When Frederick returns to the apartment, Josias is on the couch listening to the song “End of the Road”, by Boyz II Men, leaving him feeling more down and homesick.“Mr. Rocha, why all this depression? Put on a Country to cheer up, because I got the job!”Josias can only smile at one corner of his mouth, “I'm happy for you, Frederick. Was it at Crystal Blue?”“Yes. I won't exactly be a waiter, but I'll help where I can. I don't know what Mr. Mountain saw in me.”“He saw your sincerity, your charisma, and willingness to work hard. Your muscular body must have given him ideas.”“Anyway, that sad little face of yours is the one who misses the mistress?”Josias remembers the newspaper he threw out the window, “I don't know if I'll have a mistress when I return from the beyond.”Frederick gets embarrassed and decides not to talk about it anymore.******At Crystal Blue, everything is already clean, organized, and ready to receive customers. Kelvin and Daryl talk to each other.“The last bo

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—”
