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
Building My Life Chapter 1213 Maggiezine's New Sensation
Wednesday. Pamela is playing with the knife in her hands instead of spreading strawberry jam on her homemade bread. Across the mahogany table, Miguel watches his wife thoughtfully.As in the Rocha penthouse, Miguel's house in Europe Garden also has a Georgian-style dining room.“Honey, what's going on in your little head?” Miguel asks her, “Was I too brusque and violent last night?”Pamela licks her lips as she remembers 'last night', “You were wonderful, honey, as always—” Pamela shakes her head, embarrassed, “Ehr...no, it's not about 'that'. By the way, I need to go to the drugstore before Theo and Rosemary have another sibling. I was thinking about Adrian's threat.”Miguel has a grim face, “What did that bratty bastard say?”“He joked that he wouldn't turn off the hospital devices that keep my mother alive, but he had such a devilish tone that I could have sworn he was serious,” Pamela answers in a shaky voice.Miguel gets angrier, “Has this idiot lost his mind?”“He was always aga
Building My Life Chapter 1214 Angela Charges the Child Support
Carmen and Tiago visit Moacyr and Cristina at the hospital. Moacyr continues to look carefully at his wife as if his gaze had the power to wake up Cristina. “Seu Moacyr, how are you?” Carmen asks. “I'm better, daughter.” Moacyr sighs, “And that's what revolts me.” “Why do you say that, sir?” Tiago asks. “Because I should be in a coma or six feet under the ground!” Moacyr can't hold back any longer and starts crying, “I was driving that damn car, I saw the car coming in the parallel direction and I couldn't stop. Worse, I don't even know if I tried to brake. And my wife was saying goodbye to you guys, without her seat belt. How could I be so careless?” Carmen hugs Moacyr to comfort him. Pamela arrives at this point with the offside order. “Oh, I hope I haven't come at a bad time.” “Come on, Pam.” Tiago makes room, “Seu Moacyr is much shaken.” “I hope I can lighten the mood.” Pamela smiles slightly and shakes the envelope, “Miguel has issued a court order to prevent Adrian from e

Igor is apprehensive when Angela charges a high amount of child support. Will Melissa pay? “Miss Sousa, I suggest you charge a moderate amount.” Angela takes offense, “Mrs. Rocha has no idea how much we spend with a baby? Didn't she have two children?” “Baby expenses, yes.” Igor quips, “But it looks like you want to guarantee money until your son turns 30!” Gustavo interjects, “Mr. Lawyer, if Josias were alive, he would pay child support until David is 18.” “I know that very well, don't teach a priest how to say Mass, little boy!” Igor gets angry. “So this is my price.” Angela cackles, “R$100,000.00 and I won't bother you anymore. In the future, I will look for a job to make things easier, and I hope my son has the same successful trajectory as his father.” “Except impregnating the luxury escort.” Igor scoffs getting up to leave. Angela was going to tell him to go to hell, but she shuts up in time, afraid of losing the deal. ****** Kelvin walks past the newsstand and its owne
Building My Life Chapter 1216 The Court Order Is in Effect
Maggie talks with a teenager's excitement that the new issue of her magazine is selling like crazy. “The whole town is drooling over my brother’s beauty, honey!” Maggie jumps up and down for joy, “We're going to have a new sales record!” Bernardo gets up and hugs his wife, “I'm happy to see you happy, my love.” Shirley enters Bernardo's office hearing the last sentence, “What about me? Don't I deserve to be happy too, Bernie?” Maggie feels her heart go cold when she hears her mother's hiss and immediately breaks the hug. Her face catches fire as she hears her mother so intimately, “Who authorized you to call my HUSBAND 'Bernie', you—” “MAGGIE!” Bernardo sternly warns her. Where was that sweet, honeyed wife from before? Shirley smiles, pleased to end the happiness in the room, and adds more fuel to the fire, “Bernie, didn't you promise me you wouldn't sexually exploit the image of my baby?” “What baby?” Maggie laughs, “Wake up, Mom! Kelvin is now twenty-eight, handsome, and hot,
Building My Life Chapter 1217 Moacyr Is Shocked
Thursday. At Vernon's, he's lounging around in his armchair, smoking cigars he bought on his credit card, still in his pajamas and slippers, in no mood to leave the house.His radio plays “Finally” by Ce Ce Peniston.Elza approaches him, “Did you finally find a job?”“No, darling.” Vernon sucks the cigar and puffs, “Since nobody wants to hire me, I'm going to relax!”“But what about our bills?” Elza gets angry, “The hotel is not ready yet!”“They didn't even build the foundation.” Vernon scoffs at his wife, “If you wait for these people, you'll be unemployed forever.”“This is not true. The Rocha Hotel was Josias’s promise.”“Wife, since that folk hates us, they won't build the hotel anymore to harm you, simple as that!”“Melissa doesn't hate us and she's the one in control.”“That Tiago Bento is the one who appears in the newspapers as responsible because the world is too sexist to recognize Melissa as the president of Rocha Constructions.” Vernon laughs evilly.Elza was going to cou

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
Chapter 3241 The Mountain Family Has Lost Its Relevance
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—”
