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

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

Katherine returns to Rocha Constructions after having lunch at the mansion. Alfred appears at her desk.“Kate, you missed your fiancé's announcement. Shirley Mountain no longer works among us.”“He told me over breakfast.” Kate responds with a gentle smile, “It's too bad, I liked the cookies. But she never regretted her evil deeds against her daughter...”“Yeah, you can't defend her after it's been proven that she wasn't a prostitute. Why would a mother do that to the daughter she has mothered?”“Out of sheer jealousy. She was in love with Mr. Marçal, but I heard that she is dating her brother-in-law. Why did she do so much havoc for nothing?” Katherine scratches her head.“And how are the preparations for the big party doing?” Alfred asks excitedly.“Great. You will come?”Octavio returns from lunch and follows the conversation from here.“Yes, I will. Will we have interesting people to meet?” Alfred asks looking at Octavio.“Of course!” Katherine assures, “I just can't guarantee tha

Saturday arrived, and with it, the engagement party for Josias and Katherine, with the wedding already confirmed for 1997.Katherine wears a very elegant pink long dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline. The stylist was inspired by Julia Roberts and Lady Di for this, and everyone agreed that Katherine deserved to shine like the two aforementioned ladies.Josias and the other gentlemen wear suits and tuxedos of the most varied types and colors, although our hero opted for the classic black tux with a vest.The ballroom was well lit and Lilian led the servants as if she were the head of a buffet. Glasses of champagne were offered to guests.To show that he had no remorse, Josias invited William, but the former brother-in-law insisted on showing anger and dissatisfaction. While he lived in a simple working-class house, behold, his disaffection boasted this mansion.Caio nudged his father, “Happy that face, old man.”“What kind of mania is it to call your father ‘old’.” William grumbles,

Beto arrives with his family. Josias notices how elegant Teresa looks in a sleeveless dress with the hem almost touching the floor.“Hello, Beto! Thanks for coming.”“Before they start with the jokes, I'll tell you that Tess is my girlfriend,” Beto informs him.“Our new mother, Uncle Josias!” Pedro exclaims satisfied.Josias strokes Pedro's hair and then faces Rosemary, “And you, princess, how are you?”“I'm fine, just a little worried.”“Why?”“I don't know if my mother will come back since Aunt Vera has returned,” Rosemary responds innocently.Even so, Beto and Teresa almost had a nervous breakdown. They didn't think they would have to ask Rosemary to keep it a secret!Josias manages to disguise his surprise with mastery and even responds to his ‘niece’, “Rosemary, your aunt Carmen just told me that your mother is at your grandfather's house. Don't worry, she won't hurt you.”“In the letter, she said that she only wanted the best for me. I am confused, Uncle Josias.” She scratches h

Katherine is disgusted by the confusion brewing among the Mountain family. She stands by the fiancé's side and tries to remedy the situation, “Guys, what's going on here?”“This lady is making a fuss, Miss Bezerra,” Bernardo complains pointing at Shirley.Katherine looks haughtily at Shirley, “Ma'am, we don't want to kick anyone out like a bouncer. Would it be too much to ask of you to behave yourself, not to overindulge in wine, and not to invent slander about your daughter?”Shirley is going to insist she didn't slander Maggie, but she takes a deep breath, “I promise.”“OK, so let's blend in with the rest of the guests,” Katherine advises as if it were an order.Lisandro Torres is next to appear. He is dazzled by the luxury of the mansion and his eyes are comically wide.“Miss Bezerra and Mr. Rocha, what a wonderful place! Surely, you are the hottest couple in town.”“Thank you for coming, Mr. Torres.” Josias greets him more relieved.“Oops, what is this? In here I am Lisandro, I am
Building My Life Chapter 1656 She Didn't Have Fun
Hours later, the party was over, and all the guests left. Ernesto, Lilian, and other servants took care of the cleaning. Katherine took the opportunity to grab leftovers from the buffet.“No, I won’t throw away this delicious food!” She told Lilian as she took what was left of the cake.“You are the one who decides.” Lilian shrugs, “The party was wonderful. And if I may, ma'am, this is the first time I've seen Josias be so clear and open about his feelings.”Katherine agrees, nodding silently. Josias was never one to say every day that he loved Katherine, but today he did in front of all his family and friends.Josias put J.J. to sleep, “Good night, sonny.”“Good night, daddy!”Josias kisses his son's forehead. For a moment, he remembered Alan, but now the firstborn is eleven years old and sleeping alone.******However, Melissa is putting her son to sleep all the same.“Mother, do you still love my father?”Melissa feels punched by the firstborn's sudden question.“Son, don't offend
Building My Life Chapter 1567 No Competition for Jane
On Monday, Beto and Teresa are sitting face-to-face with Josias, about to explain what is happening with Vera.“We haven't made it official yet.” Josias comments, “But starting this year, we will start building our headquarters. Let’s get out of the Vargas building.”“It's about time!” Beto exclaims, “Congratulations, Josias.”“Thanks, now let's get straight to the point.” Josias folds his hands on the desk and looks steadily at the couple.“It was my fault, sir.” Teresa respectfully states, “I let Rosemary receive the postman and she discovered a letter addressed to her by Pamela. Beto had asked Pamela countless times not to get in touch, but she insisted. We even had to change the phone.”“You guys give me the new number later.” Josias comments, “What about Vera?”“It seems like an irony of fate.” Beto says, “Seu Moacyr and Cristina went to the capital to prevent Pamela from coming back here in an attempt to see Wallace again, but my sister managed to do that. She showed up at my da

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

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

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

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—”
