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

With the accident (or attack) of Cristina and Moacyr, Flávia started to take care of Teodoro's Building, since she has nothing important to do. Reuben is in the office watching cartoons on the portable TV.In keeping with tradition, the radio is always on, this time playing “Bohemian Rhapsody”. After Freddie Mercury's death, Brazilian radio stations played this song again as a tribute.It is at this moment that Benjamin enters tired from school and yesterday's journey.“Little sister, is there aspirin on the counter?”“I have it in the first-aid cabinet that is in the office.” Flávia turns down the volume on the radio so as not to disturb her stepbrother.“School made me impatient today. The Portuguese teacher wants me to read Machado de Assis for a school project.”“I think this fatigue is due to the restaurant.” Flávia approaches him, “If you want my advice, it's better to take it easy.”“Well, sis, you know how things work: when you're a new employee, you have to show your best sel
Building My Life Chapter 1219 Machismo in the Workplace
Melissa is upset to see the possibility of two gentlemen fighting over her.At this moment, Frederick appears to work and witnesses the discussion.Melissa interposes between Adrian and Kelvin, “You guys, stop and get over it! Nobody here will fight!”“He disrespected you, Melissa!” Adrian yells.“And who are you, the knight in silver armor to save the maiden?” Kelvin questions him ironically.Frederick holds back not punching Adrian because of Josias. He pretends he doesn't hear the fight and passes them by unnoticed.Adrian takes a deep breath and calms down to impress Melissa, “Okay, I'll pretend Melissa wasn't disrespected. Book me a table.”“Mrs. Rocha has reserved the last!” Kelvin lies, seething with rage. There are still seven tables available.“I hope it's a table for two because we're going to have lunch together.” Adrian turns to Melissa, “What do you think, Melissa?”“It's all right.” Melissa 'agrees' after the crazy person invites himself.Kelvin makes the reservation, fe
Building My Life Chapter 1220 Discovering the Enemy
As if sensing that William was being sexist to his own aunt, Simeon has kinda discomfort while having lunch with Uélton and Adolfo at the construction site.“What is it, Simeon?” Adolfo notices him restless.“My son keeps complaining that Tiago Bento called Melissa to help him in the presidency of Rocha Constructions.”“He did this so Melissa wouldn't be in the penthouse with depression all the time.” Uélton sums up the whole story.“The problem is that Will thinks he should be in charge because he was in the same position as Josias before he was president,” Simeon responds with embarrassment.“Ah, but he will finish the SENAI course this year,” Adolfo remembers this detail.“It's not just that.” Simeon continues, “He still hasn't forgiven Josias for what happened and he lives to insult his memory. There will be a day when Melissa will scold him severely.”At this, Uélton drops his fork on the floor, “What a...! This is already too much! I need to talk to this guy!”“Take it easy, Uél
Building My Life Chapter 1221 New Job
In the hospital lounge, Carmen is being cared for by a nurse while Tiago talks to Amoreira in a confidential tone.“I thought you told your wife.” Amoreira accuses him.“There's so much going on in our lives that I forget about some things.” Tiago scratches the back of his head.“Well, next time, make a note in your diary: ‘reveal to my wife who tried to kill my mother-in-law.’”Tiago purses his lips, not taking the joke well. Carmen starts to wake up.“Gentlemen, the patient is reacting.” The nurse informs them and gets up.“Carmen, how are you, my love?” Tiago approaches her.“Tiago... what a horrible thing...”Tiago sits next to his wife, “Forgive me for not telling you sooner.”“Does Pam know?”“No, I didn't tell her either.”Carmen nods, “Well, since she got the injunction for Adrian not to show up here, it makes sense to know that the newlyweds' car was sabotaged.”Amoreira approaches them, “Mr. Barbosa peremptorily denies it and begs me to innocence his son. He believes it was
Building My Life Chapter 1222 An Annoying Nephew
Tiago and Carmen go straight to Europe Garden, to Miguel and Pamela's “house”, which looks like a mansion.The neighborhood's name encouraged residents to build their homes in the European style, and as stated earlier, Miguel Damascene had adopted Georgian architecture for his abode.Carmen was drooling at the exterior while Tiago rang the bell that imitated heavenly bells.The door opens and Miguel answers them.“Mr. Damascene? Where are the minions?” Carmen asks embarrassingly.“Ehr... sometimes I answer the door too. I'm not very demanding.”Carmen is going to retort that Miguel was only demanding in forcing Pamela to marry him, but she swallows her words in time.“Mr. Damascene, we came to talk to Pamela. There was a complication concerning her mother.” Tiago informs him.Miguel is perplexed, “Oh my, did something happen to Mrs. Barbosa?”“No, but...”Carmen is about to respond when she sees Pamela coming down the hall with Theodore in a pram.“Hello, guys! To what do we owe this
Building My Life Chapter 1223 Time to Wake Up
In Pamela's private office, she and Carmen are comfortable in emerald upholstered armchairs.“Tell me, sis, what happened to our mother.” Pamela is already distressed.“Pam...” Carmen speaks slowly, “The detective who is taking care of the case discovered that someone sabotaged the car that Seu Moacyr and our mother were in.”Pamela is confused, “And since when did the accident become a 'case'?”Carmen raises her hands, “I don't know. The Forensic team checked the car without compromise and found that the wires that run the brakes were cut. From there the situation became a criminal investigation.”Pamela's eyes widen, “So Adrian tried to kill his own father just so he wouldn't be with our mother?”“The detective is still investigating—”Pamela stands up abruptly, “There's nothing else to investigate! When he finds out about the judicial impediment that Miguel got...”Carmen gets up and restrains her younger sister, “Pam, the police are suspicious of our father too!”Pamela wiggles fr

Chapter 3248 Go Date the Spanish Stallion
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—”
