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

In the Mountain Penthouse, Melissa's pregnancy is becoming evident. She is smiling and well-dressed for another prenatal exam.Alan and Caroline massage her belly.“Is our little brother kicking, Mommy?”“Once in a while, I feel it, honey. Today we will find out if he is a boy or a girl. Which do you prefer?"Caroline prefers a girl and Alan prefers a boy. Melissa bursts out laughing as she sees her kingdom divided.Kelvin walks over putting on his tie, “I think the knot is crooked.”“You fix it later, honey, I don’t want to be late.”The bell is rung. Kelvin will answer the door for Ernesto.“Are the kids ready for school?” Ernesto asks as he enters, “Ah, hello, Mrs. Mountain.”“Ernie, you can call me Melissa.” She asks gently.“Never. If Mr. Rocha finds out that I'm treating you very freely, he fires me. Sarah is enjoying living at the Rocha mansion with us.”“I guess so.” She laughs, “And what's new?”“My boss is really worried about Vera Reis living with that industrialist at the

Elza is in her office talking to Jane about her decision regarding Renan.“Jane, I am expelling Mr. Vasconcelos from our hotel. I don't want the police to arrest me accused of being an accomplice to kidnapping.”“Until now, no one has said it was kidnapping, ma'am.” Jane ponders calmly.“And you think I’m going to wait for him to ask for ransom?” Elza sits down at her desk and picks up the phone, “I’m getting ahead of myself.” She dials some number and waits to be answered, “Hello, security. Here is Mrs. Queiroz. I gave 24 hours to Mr. Vasconcelos to get out of here. After the deadline, if he remains here, expel him without mercy, keeping Miss Silva's physical integrity, OK? Thanks, bye!” She hangs up, satisfied.“I hope we're not making a lot of noise about nothing.” Jane sighs.Someone knocks on the door and Jane approaches her, “Who is it?”“Vera Reis!”Elza widens her eyes and orders Jane to open the door. Vera enters with a serious face.“Mrs. Queiroz, Renan informed me that you
Building My Life Chapter 1705 Where's My Woman?
William, Simeon, and Dora are horrified to find Vera standing on their doorstep.“Hey, what are you doing here?” William neighs, “Do you want to compromise us? Get outta here before your mob lover guns us down!”Vera, instead of obeying William, enters the living room with a smirk, “I was smart enough not to be followed. You underestimate me.”Dora goes back to looking for painkillers for Simeon, “Vera, what did you come here for?”“I need help, guys. I thought about going to Wally's house, but something tells me that his house will be the first place Renan will look for me.”“Stop calling the kidnapper by his first name, bitch!” William screams.Vera turns on William only to slap him, “You're still the same annoying brat! What happened to your soccer career?”“Did you go to Victoria or did you go to Mars?” William counters with a sore cheek, “I retired!”“Yes, but the newspapers can tell one story and the truth can be another.” Vera slyly hints.Dora turns off the radio and finds a p
Building My Life Chapter 1706 Josias Is Taking Care of It
Elza and Jane are momentarily terrified of Renan. But they decide to empower themselves and face the enemy.Elza responds dismissively, “I didn't know Mr. Vasconcelos is married.”“Cut this nonsense!” Renan roars, “I'm talking about Vera Reis, my woman! I love her and want to spend the rest of my life with her!”“Ah, so you are not kidnapping her?” Jane jokes.Renan throws her a feverish look, “If I kidnapped Vera, why didn't anyone call the police?”“Perhaps the police are already aware, but they are working in the shadows, waiting for the opportune moment.” Elza bravely replies, “Perhaps it was the police who found Vera and brought her to safety.”“For then I’ll have to clear up the misunderstanding—”“Save your saliva, my dear!” Elza scolds him, “My son, the powerful Josias Rocha, is an eyewitness that you took Vera Reis against her will in a limousine with bodyguards with guns drawn, threatening to shoot her brother. If you go to the police station, you will never leave there!”Bu
Building My Life Chapter 1707 Shirley Gone Away
Francisco enters Shirley's apartment and is surprised by the open door.“Shirley? The door was open! Where are you?”The apartment was silent, making Francisco afraid. Did something happen with his sister-in-law and his ex-girlfriend?Francisco remembers the day he broke up with Shirley. After he went to his apartment, she tried to go back to reason with him.“Frank, you weren't serious. We cannot part if we love each other madly!”“Do you love me, Shirley?” He snaps back, “So you swear never to be that annoying, nasty woman again? Do you promise to make peace with Maggie and forget about this theory that Henry is Jack Motta's son? My daughter is dating the guy and you offend her with that insinuation!”“It's not innuendo, Frank, it's rock-solid truth!”“HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?” Francisco roars.Shirley takes two steps back and replies in an uncertain tone, “I just know. I know my daughter.”“It seems to be the other way around.” Francisco shakes his head, “You don't know Margareth. So
Building My Life Chapter 1708 Let's Learn to Shoot
Back at the Mountain Penthouse, Melissa happened to meet up with her husband.“Honey, how was the noon service?”“Lots of customers, lots of food served, lots of caviar and grilled salmon, and Diane didn't get wrong a single cocktail,” Kelvin responds by forcing good humor.“It's weird people showing up for drinks at noon.” Melissa sits on the couch.“Sometimes people want to celebrate a deal they made.” Kelvin sits down next to her.Melissa observes her husband's features, “Kelvin, I know you well enough to see there's something wrong with you.”Kelvin sighs, “It has. Melissa...” He looks at her, “My mother went to live with her family in Linhares.”Melissa widens her eyes, “Really? Since when? She didn't come to say goodbye...”“After the ice treatment we gave her, she was unlikely to say goodbye!” Kelvin exclaims.“And now you regret it?” Melissa asks cautiously.“I don't know, I have mixed emotions.” Kelvin crosses his arms, “My mom broke up with Uncle Francisco and since then she
Building My Life Chapter 1709 Turning to Worry
Time is passing, and the construction of the new headquarters of Rocha Constructions is taking shape. Josias faces the construction of four floors plus private parking with a boyish smile.Tiago appears beside him, “Who would have thought, huh, master? In 1981, even I wouldn't have dreamed of getting this far. We started in that dilapidated building and will now continue in our own headquarters.”“I am very happy, Tiago. Everaldo didn't play around on duty.” Josias answers.“Speaking of mysterious things,” Tiago chuckles, “how is the matter with our rival?”“What rival?” Josias is genuinely scared.“That crazy person who won't leave Tiago Ibrahim's side.” Tiago gets serious, “He actually managed to build one of the factories not far from here.”Josias takes a deep breath, “Unfortunately, as an advocate of capitalism, I cannot stop anyone from starting any kind of commercial venture. I just need to know if Mr. Vasconcelos is expanding his business with the right mindset.”“What do you

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

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—”
