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

Melissa heads to the LCN studios where Isabel Freire's farewell party will take place. Jack and Veronica are organizing the delicacies.“Melissa, so glad you came.” She points to the food and drink table, “Do you think Izzy will like it?”“Of course she will like it.” Melissa smiles widely, disguising her concern.But Jack noticed her earlier expression, “Sad to say goodbye, Melissa?”“No.” Melissa wiggles, “I am being threatened by Renan Vasconcelos, according to Vernon Queiroz.”Jack and Veronica are stunned.“Hey, don't worry!” Melissa shakes her hands, “Let's not allow a suspect to ruin the party!”“Is this just a suspicion?” Jack asks seriously.“Wow, Jack, you should play a cop.” Melissa congratulates him, trying to deflect the subject.Elza and Vernon approach the party.“Look, honey, we have canapés and brie for you.” Vernon nods to the table.Elza sees Melissa talking to Jack and Veronica, “And our ex-daughter-in-law is there.”“Let's calm her down.” Vernon and Elza approach
Building My Life Chapter 1728 The Tough Sergeant
Josias and Amoreira were still in the detective's office when an officer opened the door.“Detective Amoreira! We have information from the kidnapping department. Vera Reis called denouncing industrialist Renan Vasconcelos!”Josias smiles satisfied, “Finally, she made the right decision!”“OK, but now it's not me anymore, right?” He turns to Josias, “Mr. Rocha, you better accompany this young man to speak with the officer in charge of the investigation.”“Thank you so much for helping this far, Detective.” Josias extends his hand.Amoreira shakes hands with Josias, “It’s a pleasure to serve old friends.”“Follow me, sir, please.” The officer gestures for Josias to follow him.He goes to the kidnapping department, a section of the precinct where pre-assigned officers handle these cases specifically, as well as the homicide department and the drug trafficking department. Everything at the station is well organized since Ibrahim's tenure.The new officer opens the door to Sergeant Ivan M

A few more days passed. Josias is still uneasy about the little importance that Sergeant Moraes gave him at the police station regarding Renan. In the dining room, Katherine is serving breakfast in Lilian's place.“Honey, you are at liberty to hire new servants for the mansion. Lilian must be missed.” Josias smiles at her, trying to distract himself from the disgust.“We still have the cook who helps us.” Katherine smiles back, “And I like serving my husband. I want to strengthen our bonds.”“What about me, mommy?” J.J. asks smartly.Katherine giggles and sets the cereal in front of him, “It's chocolate. Eat everything to grow and become strong.”“Nice!” J.J. enjoys breakfast.Katherine sits down next to her husband, “So what's the police station's response?”Josias gets pissed off again, “I can't get over that police officer insulting me!”“I think he's swamped with things to do and couldn't give you more attention.” Katherine tries to see the colorful side of the situation.“And wha

Bernardo takes Isabel's manuscript as if she were touching the Holy Supper's holy chalice.“Mrs. Freire... you already wrote your manuscript! How fast was that?”“I can't wait any longer, otherwise, life slips through my fingers.” Isabel talks like a poem.Maggie giggles, “None of that, Izzy, you'll live many years yet.”“God hear you.” Isabel looks anxiously at Bernardo, “I can see that my book will please.”Bernardo places the manuscript on his desk, “I will take care of this precious thing, Mrs. Freire.”Maggie wonders, “Are you gonna read it?”“Exactly. Our #1 female writer deserves the best treatment.” Bernardo grins.Maggie shrugs. She is very busy with the Maggiezine business.******At Simeon's house, William made the atmosphere so gloomy that Dora decided to turn off the radio.William continues to neigh, “Well then, Vera, pack your bags and stop sullying at my parents' house.”“And who says I'm soiling anything?” Vera retorts.“You haven't been bringing your ‘clients’ into m
Building My Life Chapter 1731 The Bandit Is Detained
Josias enters Rocha Constructions and finds Tiago and Alfred toasting cups of coffee in the kitchen.“Finally justice has been done!” Tiago proclaims, “Now our wives can rest easy!”“I don’t have a wife yet, but I share the same opinion!” Alfred adds mockingly.Josias is surprised, “Hey, what's going on here? What is the reason for the celebration?”Tiago turns to Josias, exulting, “Master! Didn't you listen to the radio? They arrested Mr. Vasconcelos!”Josias is not immediately excited. He pours himself a coffee, “I don't think he got arrested. What must have happened is that he was generously referred to the police station to provide clarification. A kind of preliminary hearing for the initial investigation. If they see that the imbecile has answered something worthwhile, they can temporarily detain him.”Alfred is dismayed, “What if the idiot manages to answer the questions in his favor? Are the police going to release him?”“Sadly, yes.” Josias takes a drink, “But how did they get
Building My Life Chapter 1732 Pre-trial Detention
At the police station, Ivan loses his temper with Renan.He stands up sharply, “I've heard enough. Mr. Vasconcelos, you are entitled to a call. I suggest you call your lawyer.”Renan panics, “My lawyer? But why?”“You’ll need it. You are willingly admitting that you intended to withhold Miss Reis's freedom.”“Cut out ‘Miss Reis’, she’s not in the running for any beauty pageants! Although she deserved it, she is very beautiful and has a great guitar body!” Renan makes the ‘guitar’ gesture with both hands, “Anyway, she's Mrs. Vasconcelos!”“Do you have the marriage certificate for the two of you?” Ivan asks mockingly.“No, but we still need to get married. How are we going to get married if she stays away from me?”“Are you sure you are an industrialist?” Ivan scratches his head, confused, “You are looking very clumsy to me!”“Do not judge a book by its cover,” Renan utters the popular saying.The mention of ‘cover’ and ‘book’ reminds Ivan of Josias's biography, making the sergeant more
Building My Life Chapter 1733 Sinister Approach
The following day, Tiago went to the police station to speak with Ivan Moraes on behalf of Josias.The officer received the oldest brother of the Bento family, interested in getting to know him.“Mr. Bento, welcome to my humble office.”Tiago looks around the room and sees the awards and recommendations of authorities, including a frame of the sergeant with the late Mayor Ibrahim. Humble?“Sergeant Moraes, I hope you don't expel me. I came to speak on behalf of Josias Rocha, my master.”Ivan breaks the smile at lightning speed, “My wife is not here.”“You’ll no longer have a wife if you continue with this uncontrollable jealousy!” Tiago asserts, “Will Lagoon City's justice be undermined because of this?”Ivan takes a deep breath and decides to be reasonable, “What does your 'master' want?”“First of all, to this day he has not been able to give testimony about the kidnapping of Vera Reis.” Tiago takes a deep breath, “He was a witness to what happened, along with Mr. Roberto Reis.”“I

At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin and Daryl were relieved that everything had turned out okay. Diane and Karen were nearby, on the sofas, chatting cheerfully. “God was merciful and allowed our son to live a few more years,” Diane declared. “Now, you both need to rest,” Karen patted Kelvin’s chest. “We slept beautifully while you two were in that sterile lounge.” Kelvin yawned once more. “I think I’ll take my dear wife’s advice; what do you think, Daryl?” “Who said we own the place?” Daryl yawned as well. The ladies laughed at their funny husbands. The doorbell rang. Tony passed through the living room, offering, “I’ll get it.” When Tony opened the door, he was surprised by the visitor. “Miss Cogo?” “How funny, you don’t call me by my first name. Did Felipe manage to talk to you before the coma?” Suzy asked bitterly, without smiling. Tony reacted perplexed by this torrent of unfriendly words. “Uh... Come in, please.” Suzy entered, ready for the storm. “Who is it, big brothe

The next day, Matthew Hogan entered the General Hospital lounge and found Daryl and Kelvin incredibly exhausted but hopeful. “Doctor, how did it go?” Daryl nearly jumped on Matthew. “Calm down, the patient survived the surgery. It’s just a matter of time before he’s back in his room.” “Oh, thank God!” Kelvin cheered. Daryl couldn’t resist and hugged Matthew. “Thank you so much, doctor!” Matthew smiled, somewhat awkwardly, but aware that it was a common reaction. “You’re welcome, we did everything we could.” “Yeah, I understand.” Daryl released the hug, rubbing his eyes — whether from sleep or wiping away a tear. “It’s going to take a little while. I suggest you both go home and rest a bit,” Matthew said. “I think we’ll do just that,” Kelvin yawned. “Now that the danger has passed, I think I deserve it. Doctor, let us know if anything happens,” Daryl requested, patting the doctor’s shoulder. “I’ll do. And congratulations to you both.” Matthew left the lounge. Kelvin yawned a
Chapter 3232 The Detective I Trust
At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio and Jake are talking to Suzy about what is happening. Jake was upset. “Suzy, haven’t you gone to visit your boyfriend yet?” “I don’t know if it’s a good idea to show up there right now.” Suzy lowered her head. “The fight happened... here?” Eugenio responded indignantly, “Yes, in my beloved living room. Luís lost his temper when Felipe called him ‘Spanish Stallion.’“ Suzy lifted her head, completely changing her posture. “WHAT? Well, then, the beating didn’t come out of nowhere!” “Come on, sis, don’t go along with this,” Jake advised her. “They’re saying Felipe’s condition is serious.” “Serious is Luís getting teased every single day by the nickname he despises the most!” Suzy exclaimed. Eugenio decided to tell the whole story, “Suzy, there’s a lot more you don’t know.” “Tell me, uncle!” “Felipe, before being assaulted, said he wouldn’t continue dating you, claiming that the Cogo family would always prefer Luís.” Suzy reacted, paralyzed by this inf

Rodrigo and Nadia entered the General Hospital lounge, finding Karen and Diane. “We’re here! Where’s Daryl?” Nadia approached the couch. “He went to check with Kelvin for more information,” Diane sniffed. “Thanks for coming.” “We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t show up,” Nadia sat down near them. “And I’m a mother too.” Rodrigo poured himself some coffee. “Any news?” Diane took a deep breath. “Felipe is still awake. Dr. Hogan said the tests revealed a concussion, and they’re now deciding if surgery will be necessary.” “How horrible.” Nadia shuddered. “Well, whether surgery is necessary or not, I hope everything goes well for Felipe.” “Now, I find it strange that Suzy still hasn’t shown up!” Karen frowned. “Did you see her outside?” “No. We thought she was inside or with Daryl,” Nadia replied honestly. Diane shook her head. “No, guys, I can’t believe Suzy would choose to work or handle investments instead of checking on her boyfriend!” Rodrigo took a sip – the coffee wasn’t a
Chapter 3230 The Lady of Lagoon City Makes a Powerful Speech
At Vaztrans, William swallowed hard before answering Sofia’s question.“Sofia, your cousin really went too far this time,” he began cautiously.“What do you mean?” Sofia narrowed her eyes. “I know Luís can be a bit difficult, but—”“Yes, the hot Spanish blood speaks louder sometimes, right?” William took a deep breath. “Luís assaulted Felipe. Daryl rushed to the hospital.”Sofia reacted with her mouth open, holding her breath.Then she composed herself. “How could he do such a thing?”“Do you want to hear my guess?” William asked with a sly smile.“No! It can’t be because of Suzy Cogo!” Sofia ran her hands through her hair as if to pull it out.“It seems we were wrong to have accepted her partnership, huh?” William shook his head.“If she starts to tarnish Vaztrans’ reputation...” Sofia paced around the office. “First, her statement: her reluctance to raise the salary of the employees here. Now, this love triangle that I thought was over...”“Everaldo warned us to be careful with her,”
Chapter 3229 Despair at the General Hospital
At Vaztrans, William and Daryl were discussing the repercussions of Suzy’s article in Maggiezine.“People are accepting Suzy’s apologies and explanations,” William broke the silence, holding a copy.Daryl pursed his lips. “Whatever. Sometimes I think João Paulo is lurking, ready to pounce on anything to throw us into confusion.”“But the salary bonus we promised will be paid, right?” William smirked.“Of course, what choice do we have?” Daryl pointed to the magazine. “She made it clear in the interview. We’re not going to contradict her, are we?”William laughed ironically. “It seems Suzy is going to be the kind of person who does anything to get out of trouble, even if it means contradicting herself.”Daryl’s cell phone rang, and he answered, seeing it was Diane. “My dear is calling. Hello, Di?”Diane was at the hospital entrance, trying to be strong. “Hello, Daryl. We need you at the hospital.”“What happened?” Daryl’s eyes widened.“Luís Vasquez beat our son to a pulp, as they say,
Chapter 3228 Sarah Shouldn’t Have Let Her In
At the General Hospital, Diane was causing a scene in the hallway while Felipe was being treated in one of the rooms. “What is happening? Someone please give me answers!!” Matthew approached the desperate woman. “Mrs. Mountain, we ask for your calm. Your son is not in life-threatening condition.” “He should never have been in this situation to begin with!” Diane shouted. Eugenio approached. “Mrs. Mountain, we’re very sorry. I tried to call Suzy, but she is at an appointment with Cardozo Perfumes.” “Why is she at my brother-in-law’s company? More investments?” Diane was taken aback. “Perhaps,” Eugenio narrowed his eyes. “She didn’t tell me exactly what she intended to do.” “Oh, this situation is killing me. Doctor, how is he?” “He is sleeping under the effect of sedatives. We are waiting for a room to become available to conduct some tests to understand why he isn’t waking up,” Matthew informed her. “Well, if my boy isn’t going to wake up for now, I need to reach my husband.
Chapter 3227 Business First, Boyfriend Later
At the Rocha Hotel, Luís couldn’t stand being called “Spanish Stallion” for the umpteenth time and gave Felipe the biggest beating he had ever received in his life. However, Eugenio was not in favor of violence and quickly called using his desk phone. “Security, there’s a fight happening in my office!” Eugenio’s euphoric voice jolted Luís out of his trance. When he came to, Felipe was unconscious, with a bleeding nose and cuts on his face. “LUÍS, look what you’ve done!” Eugenio panicked. “How am I going to defend you from this?” “I couldn’t control myself, Eugenio! You know how much I hate that nickname!” Luís shouted passionately. “It doesn’t matter! If you can’t keep your self-control, you’re going to get into serious trouble like right now!” Eugenio pushed Luís away from Felipe as he spoke. He knelt down and checked Felipe’s vital signs by holding his wrist. “At least he’s STILL alive,” Eugenio said sarcastically. The security team arrived in record time. “Here we are, ma
Chapter 3226 The Nickname as a Trigger
At Crystal Blue, the restaurant was still closed, but Suzy was there at the bar, having a drink in celebration. Diane was the one who prepared two shots, both toasting. “A toast to success and personal fulfillment, my future daughter-in-law!” They both drank. Suzy took a deep breath. “What a relief! It’s so good to be victorious!” “It really is a wonderful feeling.” Diane nodded. “Now, do you think the annoying people will finally leave you alone?” “No, of course not! It seems the war is going to intensify even more.” Suzy replied excitedly. “And you are confident that you can fight, win?” “Of course! I have the truth on my side.” Suzy took another sip. “It all started with Sofia discussing salary increases in front of the employees.” “I feel like she did that on purpose, huh?” Diane raised her eyebrows suspiciously. “Yes, I see it that way, too, after thinking it through. What a coincidence that Sofia heated up the discussion just as I showed up warning against making too ma
