After arguing with Isabel, Harold entered the room where he was being registered.Harold fades his smile. Then he enters the room.Wallace looks up and is surprised to find his father. “Wow, did you come too? How did you know I came?”“How did we know you were captured as a fugitive criminal?” Harold slams the door and approaches his son exuding hatred, “You ask 'how did I come', like it's the most normal thing in the world for you to go to a police station to be booked!”“Father, please—“Harold doesn't listen and slaps his son. “You mean you're macho enough to make your mother cry in disgust? Is that what you are? You mean a handsome, attractive man like you needs to force a woman to have sex with you?”Wallace has mixed emotions. Could it be that Isabel was the 'good cop' and Harold is being the 'bad cop'? “Dad, don't talk like I'm proud. I didn't want things to end like this.”“Well
Building My Life Chapter 1688 Who Was That Mourner?
Shirley is the only character in this book to be happy today. Not knowing what's going on, she bakes her shortbread cookies for tomorrow while whistling Roxette's song “June Afternoon”.Suddenly, the radio interrupts the song to give the news, “We interrupt our programming to break urgent news: Harold Freire, the husband of writer Isabel Freire, has died at the age of 69. Mr. Freire was found dead in his sleep at his home this Sunday morning. Doctors say the death was of natural causes. The wake is being held—”Shirley turned off the radio, shocked by the information. She followed 'Love Just Happens' and admired Isabel's work.The door opens and Francisco comes in without knocking again.“Oh no, woman! For the second time, I find you unprepared to leave!”Shirley purses her lips, then defends herself, “If you're talking about Mr. Freire, I just heard the news on the radio.”“What a horror, Shirley!” Francisco is not convinced. He is also in black clothes, “Everyone has already gone to
Building My Life Chapter 1689 Trying To Understand the Connection
Days later, Daryl and Diane returned from their honeymoon only to learn that there was a funeral while they were out having fun.“Oh my God!” Diane exclaims and turns purple with embarrassment. They're in their apartment, “Kelvin, tell me that's a lie!”“Why would I lie on such a subject?” Kelvin justifies himself.“OK, forgive me.” Diane puts the suitcases on the sofa, “It just seems shameful that while we were having fun, the Freire family was in mourning.”“We can visit them.” Daryl decides. He turns on the radio and The Offspring's song “Gonna Get Away” fills the living room.Melissa sits on the sofa and notices the suitcase, “You didn't go to Acapulco with that suitcase, correct?”Diane smiles, “No, I got back with her. She has gifts and souvenirs that I bought during the trip.”“Cool. I hope everything went as you had hoped.” Melissa smiles.“Everything went wonderfully.” Daryl comments, “The plane didn't crash, the cruise we were on didn't sink, I didn't get seasick and everyon
Building My Life Chapter 1690 Be Careful with Who Supports You
Beto looks like he won't get a straight answer from Vera as to what she's afraid of. Then he goes to the radio and turns it on. The song “Angel” by Simply Red feat Fugees has a group of teenagers playing dominoes to sway to the beat of the music.“Vera, I’m gonna have to fire you,” Beto announces in cold blood.“But WHY?” She shrieks, making the group of teenagers laugh.Beto takes a deep breath, “It's because I never know what's really going on with you. You came back from Victoria expecting us to take you in with no questions or answers.”Vera is visibly trying to hide something. Her voice shakes and her skin is as white as snow, “I... I can't say.”“Ah, then get out of here before you bring trouble to my children and my tenants!”“NO!” Vera covers her mouth with both hands, and then goes back to speaking more quietly, “I just want to have a little money to go back to the capital.”“Don't worry, I'll give it to you right now.” Beto opens the cash drawer and takes out some bills at r
Building My Life Chapter 1691 Something Is Wrong
Wallace is surprised to hear this stranger speaking directly to him and wanting to confer with his mother. He is obviously suspicious, “My lord, don't you see the absurdity of wanting to talk to my mother?”Renan remains calm, “Be sure, young man, that I don't intend to do anything disgraceful to your mother.”“So what do you want?” Wallace is gruff.Renan changes tactics, “Is she still upset and grieving?”“Technically she is, but she decided to go back to work on the soap to clear her mind.”“I understood. Then I can speak directly to you, young man. Can you meet me at the Rocha Hotel restaurant at noon?”“I don't have money to eat at this restaurant,” Wallace speaks grimly.“And who says you're going to pay? It's on me, young man.” Renan seems to enjoy the exasperation of the others.“OK, we have an appointment.” Wallace waits no longer and hangs up, suspiciously, “Better me than my mother.”******Josias enters Rocha Constructions and finds everyone working. The mourning has passe
Building My Life Chapter 1692 Return My Woman
Wallace enters the Rocha Hotel restaurant. He didn't need anyone to guide him to any table because Renan stood out among the guests in a navy blue Italian-cut suit.“Mr. Vasconcelos?” He greets him with a serious face.“Allow yourself to smile a little, Mr. Freire.” Renan jokes, shaking his hand, “Sit down. I hear the caviar here is delicious.”“Can we cut to the chase? Or is the matter so nasty that I need to eat first?”Renan holds out the menu to the youngest, “I don't believe you're one of those people who lose their appetite easily.”Wallace is definitely out of patience, “Oh Heavens, you called me to—”“Relax, Mr. Freire!” Renan enjoys the unhappiness of others, “You are useful to me to solve my problem. I'm glad I didn't have to bother your mom.”“Annoying is the right word,” Wallace replies sourly.The waiter approaches and Wallace deliberately chooses the most expensive option of the day. But Renan reacts as if the dish cost only R$5.00.Wallace suddenly smiles with relief as

May your governance be as wonderful as your father's, bringing happiness and prosperity to the citizens of Lagoon City.”“Thank you so much, my friend Josias, for supporting me!” Tobias could have taken off to the moon with so much happiness, “This victory is yours too!”“Good, let’s all be blessed!” Josias whispers in his ear, “Just don't trust that Mr. Vasconcelos.”Tobias just chuckles, thinking Josias was joking.Our hero is not sati
Building My Life Chapter 1694 Josias Is Not Contrary
The next issue of Maggiezine had Melissa on the cover, with the announcement of her pregnancy engraved in bold letters: 'Melissa Montanha is pregnant and tells us in detail what it's like to be a mother for the third time!'Josias was at the newsstand next to Crystal Blue and he smiled at the news. So he looks at the restaurant and decides to see how things are doing.Upon entering, Frederick meets him, “Mr. Rocha!

He is here?"Kelvin enters after being mentioned, “Good morning! Wow, we have a distinguished visitor.”Josias turns to him, “Kelvin, I still haven't congratulated Melissa on her pregnancy. I saw the cover of Maggiezine and thought I'd make amends.”Kelvin smiles, “We were worried about your reaction. Bernie said he had to ask you for permission to pub

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—”
