Building My Life Chapter 1530 I Won’t Be Against
William closes the office door and addresses Beto, “Who was that pretty lady?”Beto sits in the chair, “Do you like her? You can stay with her. Her name is Teresa.”“Can we call her ‘Tess’ or ‘Terê’?” William laughs.“Call her what you want.” Beto turns to the computer, “Why are you asking me for permission?”“It's because you're obviously the boss.” William sits in the visitors' seat, “Is she your son's nanny?”“My children’s nanny, plural.” Beto smiles mischievously.“Oh God, did you also tell her that Rosemary is your daughter?” William rolls his eyes.“What can I do?” Beto shrugs, “I think the truth will die with us. I can't break the girl's heart. It's enough for her to realize her bitch mother isn't coming back.”“She already knows?” William asks in amazement.“No, but she's already ten years old, she's not stupid. Why would her mother be away from her family?”“I wonder what she must be up to in the capital.” William scoffs.“I don't want to imagine. My future is here with my c
Building My Life Chapter 1531 Dispute for Josias
Teresa returns to Beto's apartment, carefully leading Pedro.“I’ll never ride a bike again,” Pedro swears.Teresa giggles, “When your arm gets better, you'll get back on your bike and run the Tour de France.”“What is it?”“I'll explain later.” She unlocks the door and enters.As they enter, Rosemary is watching the Ramones' “I Don't Wanna Grow Up” music video.“Rose, shouldn't you be watching ‘Sandy & Junior’?” Teresa narrows her eyes.Rosemary shrugs, “I didn't change the channel, it was the programming that did.”“Well, if you're enjoying it...” Teresa smiles.“Rosemary, look what they stuck in my arm,” Pedro complains.“A schoolmate of mine also had his arm in a cast. Afterward, we all signed autographs.” Rosemary laughs.Teresa notices some correspondence on the coffee table, “Did the postman come here?”Rosemary replies, “Yes, but since the door was locked, he shove them under the door.”With eagle vision, Teresa finds a letter addressed to Rosemary instead of Beto. She takes it
Building My Life Chapter 1532 She Doesn't Want Me in the Wedding
In Beto's office, the desk phone rings. He was keeping an eye on the price sheet for goods from suppliers on the computer. “Hello?” He answers, still staring at the monitor. On the other side, Teresa is on the landline. The children had already had lunch and went to nap. “Hello, Mr. Reis. This is Teresa.” “Hi Tess, how are you?” Teresa is embarrassed. She has been trying to maintain formality for a while, “I thought you were going to ask ‘how are the children?’ Anyway, they had lunch and are taking a nap.” “But that's not why you called.” Beto narrows his gaze. “No, there is a matter I have not dared to resolve. We got the mail. One of the letters has Victoria’s address.” “Victoria?” Beto is intrigued. “Sir... Isn't Pamela Chaves your ex-wife?” Beto takes a deep breath to ward off the stress, “Yeah, she's the damn one.” “Jeez, sir, if I'm touching on a thorny subject—” Beto is quick to fix, “Sorry, Tess! It's just that this so-and-so brought me a lot of problems.” “The let

A few more days passed. It's time for Angela and Melissa's bachelor party.At the Rocha mansion, Angela went over the details with Lilian.“Lilian, here is the updated list of guests for my reception.” Angela hands him the list.“Reception or party, madam?” Lilian questions her, intrigued. Then she reads the list and narrows her eyes, “Aren't you missing Melissa Campos and her mom?”“No, they were removed from the list and our lives, God willing.” Angela stomps away.Lillian frowns. Ernesto appears next.“What is it, woman?”Lilian makes sure no one else will hear, “Let's go over there in that corner.”They hide behind the stairs and Lilian whispers, “The mistress scratched Melissa and Dora from the bachelor party.”“This can only be bullshit!” Ernesto snatches the guest list, “And I'm not finding Flavia and Isabel.”“And now, what are we going to do?” Lilian senses trouble that the people mentioned are not invited.Ernesto ponders like a problem solver. What to do?******The big pro
Building My Life Chapter 1534 Don't Deny Love
Ernesto wastes no time. In Josias's private library, he is watching the stock market and its daily variations in the LCN newspaper. The secretary opens the door and enters, “Boss, I need to talk to you.” Josias smiles, “You talk as if that's forbidden, Ernesto. Come in, you can always count on my attention.” Ernesto closes the door and says in a conspiratorial, sinister tone, “Please, boss, don't fire my wife. If she told me this, it's because she thinks an injustice is happening.” “What injustice?” Josias is more interested, leaving the newspaper in his lap. “Your wife, Boss Angela, said that Melissa, Dora, Flávia, and Isabel were cut out of the bachelor party.” Josias hardens his face, “Call your mistress here at once.” “Boss...” Ernesto trembles at Josias's imposing aura. “Lilian will not be fired.” Josias guarantees using a firm and sovereign voice. Ernesto smiles and leaves the library. Josias crosses his arms in spite. First, Melissa didn't want to go to the wedding. Now
Building My Life Chapter 1535 There's No Happy Future Without Overcoming the Past
Francisco and Shirley are embarrassed by Daryl and Kelvin's bust on them.“Boys,” Francisco tries to get around the situation, “don’t embarrass your mother.”“We don't want to embarrass you.” Kelvin defends himself, “We want to wish you well and shout ‘we knew it’!”“In case, Maggie knew it,” Daryl adds.The forbidden name makes Shirley jump off the couch, “OK, nobody mention this whore's name! If something is going on between Frank and me, it's not because of her crazy ideas!”Daryl tilts his head to the side, “Mom, you were the one who swore to win Bernie. Of course, if you settle down with Uncle Francisco, Maggie will settle down with her husband.”“I may not get Bernie, but she will lose him too! As soon as I open his eyes—“Francisco suddenly stands up, “Oh no! I came here to talk about love and the future, and I'm hearing hate and the past on the other side. Excuse me, Shirley, forget what I said.”Shirley is dumbfounded, “But you didn't tell me anything!”“Fortunately! Take car
Building My Life Chapter 1536 Don't Leave Me!
Kelvin is now properly dressed to go out with Daryl. Shirley remains on the couch. The tears have been wiped away, but she is still melancholy. The radio playing Ricky Martin's “Te Extraño, de Te Olvido, Te Amo” doesn't make it easy for Shirley to calm down.“Mom, won't you take the butter cookies?” Daryl asks her, “Josias is going to be hungry.”“I don't even know if I'm going to work today,” Shirley grumbles with her arms crossed.Kelvin approaches her, “Don't do that, Mom. By chance, did we interrupt a declaration of love on the part of Uncle Francisco?”Shirley insists on camouflaging her feelings instead of being frank with them, “What is it, my son? Your mother wasn't thinking any of that. I think when he told me to think about the future, he was referring to our family life.”Daryl doesn't buy the explanation, “I can hear you two talking about love.”“Family love, not romantic love, son.” Shirley is quick to ‘correct’.“So are you going to listen to him and make it up to Maggie
Building My Life Chapter 1537 We Have to Heed the Divine Warning
Josias continues to hug Angela to see if she stops the hysteria. How can he ever leave her?“Ready? Have you stopped despair?”“You still haven't answered me.” Angela starts to cry, “That means you're going to leave me. I’m canceling the bachelorette party!”Angela ends the hug and walks away to leave, but Josias holds her arm like a Hollywood heartthrob.“Don't do anything foolish! I didn't say I'm leaving you. The very idea is ridiculous!”“Then why so much concern about bringing your ex into our lives?” Angela frowns.“What lives? It's just a bachelorette party, Angie! Or are you now going to be scared of Melissa? I am not afraid of Kelvin and I invited him to my bachelor party.”Angela wiggles, “Careful, honey. The less we have contact with these two, the better.”“I'm not jealous of Kelvin. If he's with Melissa now it's because I failed as a husband in 1991.” Josias glares at her.Angela can't face her husband, “Lilian must have told you.”“Don't even think about firing her, hone

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, “
Chapter 3246 Courted by Every Man in Lagoon City
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
Chapter 3244 Taken by the CEO’s Son
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
Chapter 3243 Nobody’s Calling the Cops
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—”
