Building My Life Chapter 1611 Indulging in Passion
In Teodoro's building, Cristina and Moacyr are announcing to Diane the decision they have made concerning the management of the place. In keeping with tradition, the lobby radio is playing “Estoy Aqui” by Shakira.Diane is stunned by the information, “Auntie... I can't imagine the building without you two!”Cristina giggles, “Have I become such an integral part of the smooth running of this place?”“Certainly.” Diane warmly states, “And who will take care of the place?”“Someone who has no impediments.” Moacyr replies, “We thought about calling Carmen, but she has James to take care of. Josias is talking to Roberto Reis, although he has an important position at the Ramos supermarket.”Diane shrugs, “Still, he's the best option. After all, he is the son and is supposed to inherit this building.”“His sister is busy being a prostitute in the capital.” Cristina adds with a contemptuous tone, “If she comes back, the tenants will leave in a stampede.”“Not to mention the Freire family is r

Diane catches up with him as he pours himself a shot of brandy.“Sometimes I think that we are the ones who drink the most around here.” Daryl makes fun of himself and drinks the dose in one gulp.“Do you want me to tell you the good news?” Diane takes a risk.“Yes, go ahead, my love.”“Uncle Moacyr wants to move out of Teodoro’s building.” Diane smiles, “Aunt Cristina wants to step down as manager to take care of my uncle who is recovering from their car accident. They also want me to be free to marry you and help out at the restaurant.”Daryl smiles too, “That would be very interesting.”“So how about we set the wedding date?” Diane enthuses, “We can arrange the engagement once Maggie and Bernardo forgive each other.”Daryl is apprehensive
Building My Life Chapter 1613 The Model Who Came from Building Construction
The next day, Uélton and Wallace are entering the Sunset Village construction site together. They come across a totally different Jock Russo: new-smelling denim pants and jacket, branded white T-shirt, All-Stars sneakers, and a smile modified by great dentists.“Wow, Jock!” Uélton, as always, is the first to break the silence, “How handsome you are! Model work paid off, huh?”“Hello, Uélton. Who is this dude?” He points to Wallace, “You two look alike.”Wallace notices that there is a slight embarrassment on Uélton's part and introduces himself, “I am Wallace Freire, the older brother who was dead but has come back to life.”“Don't need so much drama, bro.” Uélton opines between clenched teeth.Jock senses the animosity, “Ehr... I hope I'm not getting into something I shouldn't.”“There is no danger, sir.” Wallace says with a smile, “You didn't know me because I was in prison.”“OK, I need to check on my team.” Uélton abruptly goes inside the house under construction.Jock gets more e
Building My Life Chapter 1614 The Centerfold
Jock is among his former construction colleagues, all celebrating the success of the current advertising model.“Dude, if my wife calls you, tell her you're already married!” One of the workers jokes and everyone laughs.“Guess I'll have to unsubscribe from Maggiezine.” Uélton jokes.“Guys, thanks for everything. I’ll miss you all.” Jock speaks emotionally.Simeon pats him on the shoulder, “We'll miss you too, but it's good that one of us leaves this environment for better things.”Everyone applauds Simeon's speech.After the silence, everyone makes room to see Josias approaching with the white helmet. Wallace notices how Josias imposes fear and respect without even uttering a comma.“Indeed, the guy has become powerful.” Wallace asserts through clenched teeth in awe.Josias realizes that Jock is the reason for the celebration, “Hello everyone. Don't worry, I won't have your salary cut. Jock, did you come to say goodbye?”“Exactly, Mr. Rocha. Thank you very much for the opportunity, b
Building My Life Chapter 1615 Tell Me the Truth
Wallace is mixing mortar for the masons to plaster the walls of one of the rooms. Unlike Uélton, Wallace masterfully operates the hoe.Uélton arrives from behind and has the feeling of being passed over. He looks to the side and finds the battery-powered radio playing “If It Makes You Happy” by Sheryl Crow.“Hey, what's my little radio doing here?” He uses this as a lame excuse to keep bothering his older brother.Wallace continues unabated, “It was already there. I turned it on.”“And who permitted you? The radio is mine!” Uélton complains as if he were a tantrum child.Wallace just smiles and straightens up, facing his younger brother.“What's your problem?”“The problem is that you are masterfully operating the hoe when Josias had to teach me from scratch,” Uélton reveals what's inside him.“I wasn't born knowing that.” Wallace assures him, “I was taught yesterday.”“But how do you manage? You are still rickety after spending nine years in the penitentiary.” Uélton doesn't give up
Building My Life Chapter 1616 Just Get Away From Me
Jock is at Rocha Constructions finishing his resignation with HR. After that, he goes to Alfred's office to say goodbye.“Mr. Paterson, you deserve to know as Head of Engineering that I will no longer be on any construction teams,” Jock announces.“Are you sure about that, Jock?” Alfred asks calmly.“Yeah. I am filling the vacancy of someone who needs to work as a bricklayer. I decided to stay as a model.”“I saw your double-page picture in this week's issue of Maggiezine.” Alfred winks.Jock blushes slightly. They convinced the newbie to dare in that photo which did not go unnoticed even among men.After hugs and goodbyes, Jock is leaving and finds Katherine working at the desk. She was attending someone.“I will forward your call to the responsible department.” Katherine sees Jock and is temporarily petrified, forgetting to forward the call.“Hello, Kate.” Jock smiles at her, friendly.Katherine wakes up from the memory of the centerfold and transfers the call. Then, she straightens
Building My Life Chapter 1617 We Need to Turn it Around
Wednesday. Francisco goes to the police station to talk to Amoreira. The hilarious detective is once again delighting in Maggiezine and gets scared with Jack's centerfold.“Wow, what is this? Mrs. Marçal is getting bolder, huh? Did Bernardo Marçal allow this double page?” He giggles.Francisco enters his office like a hurricane.“Here you are! By what right do you have to detain my girlfriend?” He roars.Amoreira looks the complainant up and down, “Huh? What are you talking about, sir...?”“Francisco Mountain!” He barks, “I demand that you immediately release Shirley Mountain, my girlfriend!”“She has your last name.” Amoreira jokes, “Isn't she your wife?”Francisco turns red with rage, “She will be, for now, she is my sister-in-law.”Amoreira is bristling with this gossip while Shirley remains in detention.******On the Mountain penthouse, Maggie is more refreshed in the dining room. Kelvin and Melissa notice this while having breakfast.“Little sister, I perceive that your spirit i
Building My Life Chapter 1618 Resistance to Prison
Amoreira leads Francisco to the cell where Shirley was awaiting trial. She is disheveled, her blouse torn, and the policemen's fingerprints are still visible on her arms.“SHIRLEY!” Francisco is horrified, “What have they done to you? Did the guards rape you?”“No.” Shirley responds in a voice that sounds like a whisper, “I made a big fuss out of the lobby and the guards dragged me away by force.”Amoreira communicates to her boyfriend, “According to the sheriff who registered the arrest, Mrs. Mountain had the aggravating factor of resisting arrest. For that alone, she could face two months to two years in prison, depending on the severity and the judge's good mood.”The 'judge's good mood' part was added in slapstick by the fun detective.But Francisco gets more desperate, “Shirley, did you resist arrest? As far as I know, the mere nervousness of being arrested does not constitute a crime, unless the detainee resorts to violence. You...”Shirley turns her face to the left and refuses

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
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—”
