Building My Life Chapter 1695 Preparing a Trump Card
Vera leaves the office and returns to the lobby, but Beto is not satisfied with the end of the conversation. Teresa is tending tenants at the counter as the radio plays “No Diggity” by Blackstreet featuring Dr. Dre. But she manages to pick up the conversation.“Have you been with a man telling all about another guy's life? Damn it, Vera, you made the man jealous! That's why he dared to visit Wallace’s father’s wake, thinking he would find you!” “I couldn't have gone to Seu Harold's wake.” Vera responds in a shaky voice, “I didn't get a chance to say goodbye. He was so kind and gentle to me...”“That was before he found out you tricked the whole family with that plan.” Beto reminds her.“Argh, let's forget 1983! Thirteen years have passed.”“And you still seem to have learned nothing about it all,” Beto complains.The tenant leaves and Teresa joins the conversation, “May I know what's going on?”“No big deal, Teresa. Keep serving tenants.” Vera talks like this is an unhealthy job.“T
Building My Life Chapter 1696 Time to Think Better
In Daniel's office, he overheard all of Isabel's concerns regarding Vera and Wallace.“Isabel, this is truly a story that will take anyone's peace of mind.” He understands, “That's why I want you to take a few days off.”“More days off?” Isabel is distressed, “How will our program turn out?”Daniel is sincere, but concerned for her well-being, “We can designate someone else to be head writer, or we can end the soap this season.”Isabel ponders with her hand on her chin. Cancel the soap opera? “I thought the ratings were satisfactory.”“And they are. But it’s better to end the telenovela while the ratings are still high than to cancel it due to low ratings.” Daniel smiles, “Think over these days, Isabel, and I hope you can solve these problems in the meantime.”“OK, I'll think about it. Thank you, Daniel, for your consideration.”“I just want to help you, friend.” Daniel smiles.Isabel gets up and leaves. Flavia was waiting for her.“And then?” She asks anxiously.“Daniel raised the po
Building My Life Chapter 1697 They Meet
A few days passed. Caio is putting on his sneakers in the living room of his grandparents' house. The radio was playing “Lucky Love” by Ace of Base.Dora approaches him, “Good morning, my little grandson! Breakfast is served. Where did your father go?”“Is he not around?” Caio straightens up, “So he went home.”“Not exactly his home now.” Dora smiles, “It’s the Pizzeria Campos construction site.”Caio gets up, “Grandma, I am very happy with this undertaking. Finally, my dad is focused on something other than hating Uncle Josias.”“For a moment, I thought he wasn't going to accept Rocha Constructions' budget out of pure spite. Thankfully, common sense prevailed.”Simeon appears to put on his boots, “Good morning, people! Everyone's up early, huh?”Dora watches her husband and remembers Harold, “Did you sleep well, Simeon?”Simeon leaves his boots and hugs his wife, “Darling, Isabel lost her husband, but it looks like you are the one who was traumatized.”“I don't know if I'm prepared t
Building My Life Chapter 1698 Time to Retire
Beto calls Teresa to talk about the urgent matter at the office in the Teodoro building.“Honey, why are you so upset?” Teresa worries.“Tess, I need to leave. Vera found Wally's address and it's on his doorstep!”“What a shameless bitch!” Teresa cries out, “What if Wally was in boxer shorts, just waking up?”Beto shakes the idea of another male wearing just boxer shorts from his mind, “Ehr... Let's not think about those details, honey. Will you man the lobby for me while I prevent a tragedy?”“Of course, dear, run! We don’t know whether Isabel threw away her late husband's revolver or not.”Beto can only imagine Wallace shooting Vera in the head and he runs like crazy to stop it.******Meanwhile, Wallace buys time while talking to Vera through the living room window.Vera notices this and fusses, "Wally, won't you let me in?”“I was watching TV.” Wallace frowns, “You don't intend to linger, do you?”“I wanted to talk so we can pick up where we left off.”“And where did we stop?” W
Building My Life Chapter 1699 Breaking Up on Christmas Eve
Wallace pretends he's yawning because Vera remains silent and doesn't say a comma about what's going on.“Woah... Well, Vera, I'm on my day off, so I want to rest.”“This is so unfair...” Vera murmurs, “You should open the door, let me in, and finally have your first night of passionate lovemaking with me as you've always wanted.”“What night, you crazy girl?” Wallace laughs, “It's still daylight, it's nine in the morning!”“I know, Wally, and I need to get back to my dad's building. Beto will realize that I didn't come back.”“Are you living in your father's building? How can you face his portrait without feeling guilty?”Vera swallows her pride, “I... I try, Wally. I think my father has already forgiven me from Heaven.”“Certainly, in paradise, there is no hatred and resentment.” Wallace hardens his face, “But here on Earth, we still hate and resent each other, so I will never forgive you, Vera. I almost missed the opportunity to reconcile with my father. It was God who wanted me ou
Building My Life Chapter 1700 Let's Go Home
When Josias got into the car, he was startled.Everaldo was sitting in the passenger seat! How did he get in?“Everaldo, I locked the car!” Josias exclaims terrifyingly.Everaldo just nods, “That's not true, Josias. The door was open and I went in.”Josias narrows his eyes. No, he locked the car doors. But if Ernesto wants to play...“OK, tell me the blessing for 1997.”Everaldo chuckles, “Sixteen years, and you still haven't learned? Josias, it’s not me, it’s God who blesses your life with glory, happiness, joy, wealth, and prosperity.”“Yes, but you are sent from God to do the work.” Josias suddenly grabs Everaldo's arm only to see that he is flesh and blood, “You have acquired human form.”“I have always been human, Josias!” Everaldo is exasperated.“Jesus Christ also bled when he was whipped and hung on the stake.” Josias winks at his friend, “But he wasn't 100% human.”Everaldo purses his lips holding back a laugh, “OK, stubborn dude. I liked to see that you prevented Uélton from
Building My Life Chapter 1701 A kidnapping?
1997Vera Reis spent all the Christmas and New Year with Renan Vasconcelos, the industrialist who claims to have marital rights over her.However, Vera didn't tell anyone, not even Wallace, that she was married to this mystery man.Sitting on the balcony of the VIP suite and looking out over the Lagoon City skyline, Vera is wondering what she will do with her life.Suicide looks tempting when she looks down...Renan seems to have read her mind because he approaches her from behind and pulls her off the railing, “What do you think you're doing, woman?”“LET ME GO!” Vera screams hoarsely. Her voice is worn out because all she's been doing is screaming and cussing.Renan closes the glass door and then puts his hand on his forehead, “Vera, until when are you going to understand that I only want your good? What would happen if you got into that car of your lover?”“He was not my lover, HE IS MY BROTHER!”Renan shakes his head as if Vera were a lying little girl, “I've never seen a brother
Building My Life Chapter 1702 I'm Saving You, Not Kidnapping You
Vera and Renan are having dinner. The sunset is evident on the urban horizon, but Renan kept the balcony door closed.“Renan, I'm hot.” Vera tries.“I’m going to turn on the air conditioning.” Renan gets up and turns on the air conditioning, irritating Vera.“Did you really think I was going to kill myself?” Vera tries to fish.“Yes, you are very foolish and extremist.” Renan sits down and picks up the knife and fork, “That's why I'm here, to help you.”“Help me with what, dammit?” Vera clatters her silverware onto her plate.“First, help you with table manners. Second, help you with your verbiage. Third, help you become a society lady of Lagoon City.” Renan smiles like the snake, “Don't you want to be famous and be on the cover of Maggiezine like Melissa Mountain and Katherine Rocha?”For a few seconds, Vera forgets everything and smiles at the possibility of being rich and famous. But the dream was short-lived, “NO, not in these conditions of slavery! I want my life back!”“What lif

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, “
Chapter 3246 Courted by Every Man in Lagoon City
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

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—”
