Building My Life Chapter 1644 We Thank You for Your Dedication
In Melissa's office, Jack Motta appears well-groomed, hair styled in gel, jeans smelling new and with the dye very fresh, and socks smelling like fabric softener. The woody scent caused a feast in Melissa's nostrils.“Wow, what is all this production due to?”“I need to impress the owner and head writer on the soap I'm going to work on,” Jack responds jokingly as he sits down.Melissa promptly extends his character spec sheet, “Here, Jack, take this for you to read and study the ‘Matias’ character. There we have all his previous information so you can dive right into the interpretation. We have the feelings, the wants, what he wants to achieve, and who he's going to interact with directly.”Jack marvels at everything so meticulously prepared, “Wow, Mrs. Mountain! How do you manage to prepare this with such care? I didn't know I had to go through all this.”“You know how it is, we need to create believable, flesh-and-blood characters, believable enough for the viewer to forget a little

The next day, Daryl is teaching Diane how to make a cocktail for the customer. Diane struggles as a beginner but is determined to excel. Daryl tries the second attempt, but grimaces.“Hmm... Less sugar, honey.” He comments.“Oh, I'm sorry, honey.” Diane is dismayed.“Don't worry. You will be able to please the customers.” Daryl smiles encouragingly.“Then allow me to try again.” Diane prepares the ingredients for the third attempt.As Diane prepares another dose, Shirley strides into the Crystal Blue, looking desperate.“You really abandoned your mother, huh!” Shirley complains, “Because of that, I couldn't give you horrible news!”“Did Bernardo have a relapse?” Daryl asks, “Did he go back to the hospital?”“No, thank God.” Shirley sighs, “But your sister and sister-in-law won't let me into the penthouse for more details.”“And I can't blame them, can I, Mom?” Daryl scolds her lightly, “Tell me the bad news.”“Yesterday I was fired from Rocha Constructions! Josias Rocha will no longer
Building My Life Chapter 1646 New Installations
Josias is more comfortable after Bernardo's recovery and the resolution of David's custody to Angela. Only then was he able to guide the special meeting he had arranged with Tiago.So, in the conference room, he, Tiago, Alfred, Simeon, and Octavio were gathered to discuss the main agenda for 1996.“We are all listening to you, master.” Tiago gestures for Josias to begin.“Guys, I want to thank you for the massive support of all of you in these years that Rocha Constructions has existed. So I hope to continue supporting this great project I have in mind.”Break. Josias drinks a glass of water that Katherine left for him.“I want to build our headquarters from scratch. I want to leave the Vargas Building after more than ten years. It's time for a company of the magnitude of ours to have its own building, don't you think?”The other gentlemen were astonished. A building of its own for the head office of Rocha Constructions?Tiago is the least surprised because he already knew beforehand.
Building My Life Chapter 1647 Tired of Fighting
Maggie is prepared for yet another showdown between her and her mother. Perhaps this is the last.“Mother, how did you get in? You know very well that you’re forbidden to enter.”“Really?” Shirley scoffs, “Looks like the new gatekeepers at the entrance aren't aware of the ban.”“Then I will update them under threat of dismissal.” Maggie points her index finger, “Now you can leave.”“Did you not hear a word I said?” Shirley closes the office door with a bang, “You're not gonna win this war. I was fired from Rocha Constructions for not wanting to acknowledge that I am to blame for something I am not.”Maggie is surprised by her mother's lip service, “Aren't you to blame?”“I said the truth. You are a whore. Always was and always will be. You snared Bernie when you found out he had money to spare. You concealed your whoredom and rose as a respectable lady and dame of society. You got pregnant by another guy to tell your deluded client that he's Henrique's father.”Maggie, however, sits i

Kelvin, Melissa, and Frederick are next to sample the cocktails prepared by Diane. Diane has her hand on her heart, hoping to please everyone.And the reaction is as favorable as possible. Between exclamations of 'Hmm' and 'Ooh', the doses were approved.“Diane, you have become a successful bartender!” Melissa praises her, “The mix turned out great!”“The one who suffered was my boyfriend, proving the first attempts that were horrible.” Diane mockingly talks about herself.Daryl hugs Diane from behind proudly, “I didn't mind, honey. It's part of the learning.”“Now we have other drinks, like caipirinha.” Diane rubs her hands together, ready to learn more drinks.Melissa turns to Kelvin, “Veronica went to celebrate with Jack Motta his entry into the soap opera. Soon, the first recordings will begin.”“I'm getting so curious that I'll be watching your show, dear.” Kelvin jokes and everyone laughs.“But not everything is flowers in this life.” Daryl is suddenly serious, “Mom just got out
Building My Life Chapter 1649 Do You Wanna Talk to Her?
The next day, Dora, Isabel, and Melissa visit the Rocha Mansion to observe the preparations for Josias and Katherine's engagement. The ladies are amazed at the menu that will be served and the decoration already advanced.Isabel tries on the fine linen of the impeccably white tablecloths, “Katherine, your fiancé has spared no expense.”“I am so happy about it!” Katherine just needs to cry, “It's finally happening.”Melissa nods, “When it was my turn, it happened in Tiago Bento's backyard. And Pamela invaded the party making the biggest scandal. She had to be dragged out.”Katherine wiggles, “I thank God I don't meet Pamela every time you mention that minx. There isn’t a single good thing you guys say about her.”“Of all the people who pissed me off, none surpassed Cristina Barbosa’s youngest daughter.” Melissa recalls the past, “Not even Angela.”“Angela is busy in Rio de Janeiro.” Katherine sighs in relief, “But not to push my luck, we won't be having a bachelorette party.”All the l

Wallace is stunned at the prospect of seeing or talking to Vera again. He doesn't have the courage and wiggles frantically.“No, Beto.” Wallace refuses, “I still don't have the courage or the mental capacity to do so. If I see your sister again, I'm going to jail again.”Beto smiles satisfied, “OK, may Vera not complain later, because I tried.”Wallace smirks, “I think you're taking a big risk.” He notices the apron and chef's hat, “Have you taken over here?”“I talked to Mr. Ramos from the supermarket.” Beto nods, “Little by little, I'm taking on my father's legacy.”“My parents told me about your trajectory.” Wallace comments more calmly, “You went from supervisor to manager of the warehouse and the supermarket in general. Congratulations.”“Thanks, but with Cristina Chaves leaving, I had to take over the building.”Wallace chuckles, “I have been informed that Mrs. Chaves, now Mrs. Barbosa, went to Victoria to stop Pamela from coming back. What if she's already here?”“Better not ma
Building My Life Chapter 1651 Not Even Painted in Gold
Veronica and Jack meet at Café Montanha.“Jack, see if my aunt is in there,” Veronica asks as if she were a child escaping punishment.“Veronica, don't be ridiculous.” Jack frowns.“Please...” Veronica asks pouting.Jack laughs at the almost-girlfriend's childishness and enters the cafeteria. No, Shirley is not.Rodrigo approaches him, “You look like you're seeking someone.”“It's Veronica who doesn't want to meet her aunt.” Jack chuckles.“No, and my dad just left to talk to her.” Rodrigo rolls his eyes.Jack returns to the entrance and gestures for Veronica to enter.“Thank you, dear.” She sees her brother, “Hi, Rodrigo. Please, don't be upset when I threatened to bankrupt the cafeteria if Aunt Shirley worked here.”“We'd better change the subject, I don't want to dwell on this unpleasant chatter.” Rodrigo assumes the posture of the owner of the shop, “Will you want cappuccino or espresso?”“I'll have a cappuccino.” Veronica chooses a table, “The less caffeine in my head, the better

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
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—”
