Building My Life Chapter 1719 Asking the Mayor Questions
At Crystal Blue, Daryl is in the position of maître d' in Kelvin's place so that he could attend the inauguration of Pizzeria Campos. Diane approaches him.“Honey, how are we doing with reservations?”“We are doing very well.” Daryl comments looking at the booking book, “The customers who called are showing up. Activity is reasonable for the night.”“Fortunately.” Diane giggles, “For a moment, I thought we were being shortchanged by the pizzeria.”Daryl joins in the laughs, “Their pizzeria is in Green Park while we're Downtown.”Suddenly, Renan and Tobias enter the restaurant. Daryl and Diane immediately stop laughing.“Good evening, Mr. Mountain.” Tobias greets him, “I booked a table for two.”Renan smiles mockingly at Daryl. He knows that if he had called, Daryl would have refused to reserve a table. But since it was the mayor's secretary who called...“Table eleven. Frederick, please...”Frederick leads the gentlemen reverently, but he couldn't hide his disgust toward Renan.Diane
Building My Life Chapter 1720 No Celebration?
At Crystal Blue, Renan finished dinner with Tobias. The mayor said goodbye and retired to foot the bill. Renan, on the other hand, decided to go to the bar to drink a cocktail.He smiles amiably at Diane, “A female bartender. Cool.”“What does that mean?” Diane raises her eyebrows, “You think I don't know how to make drinks?”“No, I imagine you were properly trained by the owner of this restaurant.”“Did you mean: by her husband?” Diane blinks.Renan has a bump. He hadn't expected the beautiful bartender to be married.“What will you want?”“A Manhattan.” Renan sits on the stool.“You have chosen just the drink that is missing an ingredient today,” Diane speaks in a neutral tone.But Renan thinks she's flirting with him and smiles again, “What's missing, vodka?”Diane remains serious, “Manhattan doesn't carry vodka. It contains whiskey and red vermouth. The cherry is missing to garnish.”Renan laughs out loud, attracting Daryl's attention, “Serve me anyway.”Diane prepared the drink s

The next day, Josias and Katherine still haven't recovered from the absurdity they faced at William's pizzeria. They have breakfast served by Lilian.“What then, bosses? How was the opening of Pizzeria Campos?”“The pizza is delicious, but the service was horrible!” Katherine complains, “I didn't think Will's temper would get any worse. Are you sure he was better, Josias?”Josias nods, “It was from 1983 when I helped him with Caio.”“And the ungrateful one forgets that to annoy and insult you every time you appear!”“Take it easy, dear. Don't let William ruin your day.”Katherine soothes, “If your day isn't spoiled, mine won't be either.”Lilian smiles and leaves the platter of ricotta. As she goes to get more options, the phone rings.She goes into the hall to answer the extension that is there, but Ernesto, with his back to her, answered first.“Hello?”On the other side, it's Tiago at his house, “Hello, Ernesto! Glad it was you who answered. We need to talk alone in my office. Plea
Building My Life Chapter 1722 Taking Advantage
At Pizzeria Campos, a photographer from Maggiezine is photographing various corners of the place while Maggie takes care of the interview. William and Caio are smiling and collaborative.“Mr. Campos...”“Call me Will.” William jokes.“OK... Will, how do you feel about this new venture?”“I feel fulfilled. My last job was not giving me motivation and I decided to take a chance on a new adventure.”Maggie nods and brings the tape recorder closer, “I heard you have a pizza maker from Italy, is that true?”William chuckles, “Tommaso's grandparents immigrated from Italy and came with tradition in their veins. I am very happy to have him as a helper.”“What about you, Caio? Do you intend to carry on with the business when your father retires?”“Certainly,” Caio responds politely, “I won't need to look for a job anymore.”The adults laugh, even the photographer.Maggie looks around, “I admit the pizzeria looks beautiful and well-built. Was it the company I'm thinking of?”William replies, st
Building My Life Chapter 1723 Coincidences in the Lobby
Dora turns off the radio to have a better dialogue with her mischievous son.“Son, when are you going to stop being a pain in the ass?”“Mom, watch your language,” William responds ironically.“You know very well where I want to go!” Dora throws the broom to the ground, “When will you learn to be a tempered man like your father? Do you see him whining about anything? Do you see him complaining all the time about his enemies?”“My father has no enemies,” William speaks as if this were a demerit.“Exactly, and I want you to be like that. Nobody hates you, you are the one who always starts the war.”William rolls his eyes, “As usual, I'm to blame for everything that happens in this goddamn life!”“And off we go, you're mumbling and whimpering like a little girl!” Dora accuses him.William stands up, “Mother, I just came to inform you that I will be famous again, but as it turns out, you are not willing to celebrate with the son of your womb!”Dora loses her temper, “You want to be famous
Building My Life Chapter 1724 Sick Mother-in-law
Ernesto enters Josias's office. The owner of Rocha Constructions notices the secretary's worried face.“Ernie, did something happen to my son?”“No, but something happened to my family.” Ernesto sits in the visitors' seat, “Boss, it’s with immense regret that I announce my departure.”Josias is extremely shocked. What?“Ernesto, this is not the time for jokes. I'm a very busy man—”“I would never play with something like that, Josias Rocha.” Ernesto retorts with some sourness, “Lilian’s mother is in poor health and my wife is extremely worried.”“Lilian can go alone.” Josias tries to resolve the situation.But Ernesto shakes his head, “No, boss. How is my wife going to help with just the two of them? My father-in-law has passed away. Her younger brother is living in São Paulo. He could help, but until he arrives... but my wife is closer. My mother-in-law lives in Vila Velha.”“Well, not so far away...” Josias is dissatisfied, “But Ernesto, are you saying goodbye at once? Is it not a t

Thursday. At the Rocha mansion, the Paes family is packing.Katherine is shocked to discover that she will lose Ernesto and Lilian. Sarah is also disappointed.“Mommy, when are we coming back here?” Sarah asks tearfully.“When your grandmother is well, my daughter.” Lilian sagely responds, “Let's pack your bags.”Katherine accosts her in the hallway, “Lilian, we are so sorry about your mother. You don't want me to visit or help you financially?”Lilian already knows the story told by Ernesto, “It's not necessary, missus, thank you very much. Your fiancé is already taking care of everything.”Katherine sighs, “My fiancé... you won't be at my wedding.”“Unfortunately, but that's life.” Lilian nods hopelessly. What should you do when someone who could endanger Josias's life appears out of nowhere?Katherine walks away with Sarah. Ernesto approaches Lilian.“So, is she convinced yet?”“I think so, darling. Really, I am very sorry to have to leave as if we were guilty of something!” Lillia
Building My Life Chapter 1726 My Responsibility
In the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin is waiting for Melissa to tell him. She is worried about distressing her husband.Kelvin walks over to her and takes both of her hands, lovingly, “What's so serious that you had to talk to Josias first?”“Kelvin...” Melissa says cautiously, “I called Josias about what his stepdad said yesterday.”“Honey, now you have alarmed a businessman for no reason.” Kelvin does not take the matter in the same importance.“Do you think we should expect Mr. Vasconcelos to kidnap me?” Melissa asks in a panic.“Hey, don't be like that, honey!” Kelvin hugs her, “Remember I want to save you all the stress. You're pregnant, you need to calm down.”“It sounds like you're more concerned about the babies than me.” Melissa is sorry.“Stop it, it's not true.” Kelvin warns her, “I won’t allow foreign affairs to spoil our peace. Are you going to LCN today?”“I have to go, today is Izzy's leaving party,” Melissa explains.The hug is broken and Kelvin responds, “OK, but promise

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

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—”
