Building My Life Chapter 1590 Will We Be Friends?
Josias and Wallace return in the first one's car to Lagoon City. Wallace's sights strange the landscape. Nine years without seeing the outside was too much for him.“Different landscape?” Josias asks casually.“Yeah, man, a lot has changed,” Wallace responds in a low tone.“Wait until we get to town.” Josias smiles slightly, “New neighborhoods have appeared and old ones have undergone a renovation. Even Happiness Slum is not as unpleasant as it is in our time.”Josias reaches for the radio and turns it on. Wet Wet Wet's song “Goodnight Girl” was good for Wallace's spirits.He was back in the world of the living.“Josias, how are we now?” Wallace tried to return to his old intonation and constantly cleared his throat.“I didn’t understand the question.” Josias raises one eyebrow.“Are we going to be friends this time?” Wallace fears being more explicit.But Josias got what he was getting at, “Wallace, you know Melissa is married to another guy.”“And I'll never understand why you let a
Building My Life Chapter 1591 The House of Happiness Slum
The answer is no. Vernon and Maggie didn't drop a footnote in either the LCN paper or the Maggiezine about Wallace Freire's return to Lagoon City.Vernon is explaining to Elza in her office at Rocha Hotel, “Honey, we know that bitch Pamela is going to read my column and find out that poor young man will come back here. It's a matter of seconds before she shows up here with the biggest gall, pretending she didn't know anything.”Elza feels her blood boiling, “I can't believe it. Will this so-and-so ever leave us alone?”Jane appears, “Madam, Mrs. Barbosa wishes to address you.”Elza understands that this is Cristina and nods, “Let her in, Jane. Thanks.”Jane gestures and makes room for Cristina to pass, “Good morning, everyone. Ah, Vernon, I thought I would find you here.”Vernon smiles, “And I'll tell you right now: no, I didn't publish anything in the paper about Wallace Freire. I managed to convince all my colleagues to keep silent.”“Do you think the news might leak in another news
Building My Life Chapter 1592 Each One Carries His Load
Alan is wearing his school uniform. He answers the door for someone else when the doorbell rings.“Who is it?”“It's Josias, son!”“Daddy!” Alan opens the door quickly, “How nice to see you here. Do you want to talk to my mother? She's in the office with Uncle Will and Kelvin.”Josias frowns, but strokes his son's hair, “And do you know why?”“I don't know.” Alan mimics his father's frown, “Mom and Kelvin were dating when Uncle Will just came over. Even the radio was turned off.”Josias and Alan enter the living room. The former penthouse owner turns on the radio and Tina Arena's song “Chains” reminds Josias of Wallace.With that, Josias has a mental snap. He's come to talk to Melissa about Wallace, but has William gotten ahead of himself and is running the conversation hysterically and irrationally?“Who will take you to school, son?”“Kelvin took care of that, but he's still in there.”“Call your little sister while I go see what's going on.” Josias goes to his former office.When h
Building My Life Chapter 1593 I Take Back What I Said
William is outraged to be told by Daryl that Pamela wants to know about Wallace at all costs.“That viper can't still the fire, eh? And her father is close by, but it's still useless. Roberto Reis, my manager, says she wants to take their daughter to the capital.”Daryl wiggles, “And Mr. Reis has his two children?”“Yeah. I'm with Caio and Miguel Damascene has Little Theo.” William scratches his head, “Jeez, that's a lot of babies this woman has given birth to!”Daryl gets lost in the math, counting Pamela's children on his fingers, “Four total. That is if it no longer appears more babies in the capital.”“For sure, she must already be sleeping with other guys there.” William looks at the clock on the restaurant wall, “I need to go to work. Thanks for the info, Daryl.”“I thank you for reporting on Melissa and Kelvin.” Daryl smiles.William, however, continues with a straight face, “Daryl, warn your brother to watch out for Josias. The imbecile got into the penthouse very easily, I th

In Gustavo's apartment, he is afraid to go to work in a role other than that of a stocker or packer at the supermarket. After he was released from the police station and William fulfilled his promise to withdraw the complaint, Angela told him about the condition.Now he's walking into the apartment with the bag of bread and the new issue of Maggiezine. His fear doubled with the cover of the magazine. The radio is playing the song “Scream”, by Michael and Janet Jackson.But Angela doesn't care about fearful men, “You can stop with that fearful face. You'll do just fine in the supermarket store. Who knows, maybe this will help you become more muscular and attractive...” She bites her lower lip, imagining a ripped and naked Gustavo.Gustavo gets angry, “Do you only think about immoralities, woman? Something tells me I'm walking into a trap just trying to protect you.”“I didn't ask you to lie about the car theft!” Angela picks up the bag of bread, “You were supposed to deny everything.”
Building My Life Chapter 1595 We'll Talk
Wallace realizes that he has something wrong with asking about Uélton when he sees everyone upset.“Did I drop the ball?” he asks fearfully.“Not you, son.” Isabel replies, annoyed, “Your brother decided to be the prodigal's brother in reverse.”“Why doesn't he want to forgive me?” Wallace narrows his eyes, “He wasn't directly affected by my crimes.”“I think Uélton, as a father, fears that Reuben could be misled,” Josias answers wisely.“This is nonsense.” Wallace defends himself, “I won’t teach my son to violate his wife on their honeymoon! In fact, I hope I never have to touch this subject again. I...” Wallace feels a lump in his throat, “I need to talk seriously with my little brother.”Isabel's eyes were watery, “It's amazing, Wally. Someone else would have expressed hatred and rancor, but you willingly want to clear up the misunderstanding.”“This is how it has to be, Mom.” Wallace answers determinedly, “I wasted nine years of my life away from you guys. I need to make up for th
Building My Life Chapter 1596 Slaps and Farewells
Gustavo enters Beto's office. His little radio is playing “Secret Garden” by Bruce Springsteen. Beto is sitting, leaning back against the back of the chair, with his eyes closed, enjoying the song.For a moment, Gustavo didn't think his situation would be so drastic, but Beto noticed his presence and opened his eyes, “Hello, Gustavo! Do you want some water, some coffee?”“No, Mr. Reis. Thank you very much.” Gustavo closes the door and approaches him, “Well, here I am.”“That's great.” Beto straightens up in his chair, “Shall we go to your new job? Orders from Mr. Ramos. He was very upset by the news of your arrest...”Gustavo feels his heart sink, “If Mr. Ramos wishes, I can explain to him—”Beto gestures with a mischievous smile, “No, let's not bother Mr. Ramos. He assigned me a manager to take care of the dirty work.”Gustavo understood that the ‘dirty work’ would mean taking care of his situation and clenched his fists in anger.Beto gets up, goes to the door, opens it, and calls s
Building My Life Chapter 1597 The Secret Involving Maggie
Hours later, Harold and Wallace are waiting for their test results at the General Hospital.“Wallace, are you okay with your mother calling you by the forbidden nickname?” Harold takes a risk while they are helping themselves to coffee in the lounge.“Who said calling me Wally was forbidden?” Wallace chuckles.“Uélton.” Harold takes a sip, “He said we can't remind you of the bitches who called you that name.”“That's true, but I don't want to be a coward.” Wallace helps himself too, “I need to remember the past from time to time so I don't repeat the mistakes in my future.”“That's nice.” Harold smiles, “So if all goes well, will you take the job Josias offers?”“Looks like we’ll have spots on Uélton’s team, right?” Wallace takes a sip, “Melissa's uncle is moving to Victoria, and Seu Simeon is approaching retirement age. Yes, I think I will.”Harold nods, but he doesn't want to say that Josias will probably put Wallace on another team, not the same one as Uélton, so there's no Indian

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

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—”
