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

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

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
Building My Life Chapter 1730 Dazzled by Fame
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.

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

Just out of spite, David was taken to the Happiness Slum police station, where Dylan was now interrogating him and pressing him against the wall. David was shaking while handcuffed, thinking he might have a chance to escape. “What is going on here? LET ME GO! This station is not equipped to handle my problems!” Dylan sat at the desk, keeping one of his subordinates nearby, standing by the door. “Oh really? It just so happens that it’s the opposite: Commissioner Tavares said he doesn’t want to see your face at the headquarters!” David was horrified by the remark. “What does that mean? We can’t allow such abuse! Call my dad immediately!” Dylan, grinning with delight, leaned back in his chair. “Mr. Souza, it was your father who ordered us to remove you from the Rocha Constructions building.” “That’s IMPOSSIBLE! My dad never ordered Alan’s arrest!” “Isn’t it because Alan Campos Rocha has never given the police any reason to detain him?” Dylan asked ironically. “And on what charges
Chapter 3206 Is Daniela Pregnant?
At the management office of Lafayette Supermarket, Thierry was signing a fat check for a member of the Cintra family. The man, who was the victim’s brother, was staring at everyone with disdain and arrogance. “You have to understand that we can no longer shop at this supermarket, right?” he kept saying. “My poor brother used to come here because the wine prices were cheaper, but now... we’re going to have to resort to the little store closer to home, even if it costs more!” Nadia was outraged. “Mr. Cintra, don’t be arrogant!” Mr. Cintra raised his chin at Nadia. “I can sue you for this too, you know?” “No, you can’t,” Thierry emphasized, tearing the check from the invoice and hastily extending it to him. “Take it and get out of our sight!” “You are in the wrong and still want to play the victim!” Mr. Cintra simply felt entitled to cluck. “Thank goodness my brother didn’t die! Otherwise, we would tear this crappy supermarket down! It was much better when the Ramos family ran this
Chapter 3205 At the Height of Despair
The next day, Daniela was talking to Dr. Matthew Hogan at General Hospital. “Alright, Daniela,” he said with a smile. “I hope we don't find anything serious in your tests.” “Could I... be pregnant?” Daniela asked in a whisper. Talking to Matthew inevitably reminded her of Silvana Hogan, his mother and a famous obstetrician. “My mother is now retired and enjoying the Bahamas,” Matthew said kindly. “If your test results indicate you’re expecting, we’ll refer you to the appropriate department.” “Thank you so much, Dr. Hogan!” Daniela extended her hand, and Matthew shook it. A few moments later, Daniela was walking through the corridors, thinking about the possibility of being pregnant. She even placed her right hand on her belly, already imagining herself carrying the heir of the Reis family. She smiled mischievously as she recalled the countless nights of passionate love where Pedro ravaged her mercilessly, only stopping when the alarm rang the next morning. How could she not
Chapter 3204 Someone is Not Feeling Well
Melissa worried about her parents' objection regarding the twins getting involved with their paternal family. "Mom, Dad, I understand your concern." Melissa broke the silence. "But in a way, they're right. I don't have the right to completely cut them off from Kelvin. Besides, they have another little brother." Dora looked at her wristwatch. "At this hour, Mary must be in the penthouse, keeping an eye on Anthony." "Oh, did they say they were going to do that?" Melissa smiled slightly. "Yes, someone texted them asking for it. Probably Kelvin," Simeon replied seriously. Dora explained, "Daughter, let's hope Daryl doesn't take advantage of the closeness to poison our grandchildren's minds." Melissa was alarmed. "What are you saying, Mom? I won't allow that!" "No, I know you won't allow it." Dora frowned. "That's why I hope you visit Kelvin and set some boundaries." "If I bring this up, I'll unintentionally be starting a stupid war," Melissa retorted. "They know their boundaries.

At Rocha Constructions, Sofia is eager to prove that she was right all along about Suzy. She leaned back against Alan again, wanting information. "Dear, before we were interrupted, you were saying something about me being right to be suspicious of Suzy Cogo. I knew that smartass was planning something!" Alan scratched the back of his neck. "I feel like she was the one Everaldo mentioned in the prophecy." Sofia's eyes lit up. "That's true! Suzy is the only one investing out there! Do you think she will want a slice of Rocha Constructions?" "I sincerely hope my dad doesn't agree to sell any shares. I won't do that. Better warn Caio." Alan became serious. "Well, I'll have to put up with her at Vaztrans." Sofia sighed, feeling discouraged. Alan turned to his wife with curiosity. "Speaking of which, dear, we haven't heard any news about Vaztrans being in trouble this year. Did you finally manage to control the spending?" Sofia looked confused. "Uh, I don't know what you're talking a

Sofia reacted, obviously pleased, when none other than her husband stated that she was right.Unable to resist any longer, she sat on Alan's lap and delivered THAT delicious, passionate kiss.When the kiss ended, Alan was perplexed, eyes wide."What was that for?" He asked, lost."You silly!" Sofia began to laugh. "This is your reward for believing in me. And tonight, you'll have another reward that's under my panties—"The last phrase was clearly heard by Caio, who was opening the door at that moment.Sofia quickly bounced off Alan's lap, trying to disguise the intimacy. Caio blushed slightly, smiling awkwardly.Alan smiled nervously. "Wow, everyone decided to start early in 2012! Good morning, cousin."Caio avoided looking at Sofia. "Good morning, cousin. Do we have any updates regarding our annual meeting?""My dad appointed me president – again." Alan's cat-like grin indicated that he wasn't complaining. "And we'll have all the important people, just like last year."Caio's face g

2012.After the celebrations, Alan was standing in his office, talking to Josias on his cell phone. Rocha Constructions was relatively empty, but the heir was there early in the day, setting an example."Dad, I had an idea regarding Everaldo's prophecy."On the other side, at Rocha Mansion...Josias was still in bed, being cuddled and clung to by a persistent Melissa who was stroking her hand on her husband's fit and virile body."Erh... what did you think, SON?"Josias emphasized the 'son' to get Melissa to stop her mischief, but she giggled and continued to pinch some forbidden parts of her husband."I think Everaldo was warning us to be careful with Suzy Cogo," Alan replied seriously."Why?" Josias frowned."Because Sofia has been on alert with her since last year," Alan answered. "And she's the only investor I have in mind.""Son, Sofia needs to relax and stop causing trouble with other women." Josias tried to push Melissa away. "If not, I'll think she's jealous of her cousin.""O

Chapter 3199 A Gift That Made William Sad
At the Rocha Mansion, Dora and Simeon were talking to William in a corner of the living room about Stacy Moreira, now Stacy Bento.“Son, do you still miss Stacy?” Simeon asked, surprised.“I don’t know, Dad.” William sighed, still holding the package. “I didn’t expect to receive a gift from her after all these years...”“Well, she seems to harbor no grudges. Neither she nor her husband,” Dora commented.“I don’t even know if I should open the gift. I’ll decide tomorrow.” William finally got up and placed the package under the tree.Simeon and Dora exchanged worried glances. Melissa approached them.“Dad, Mom, what happened?”“Sweetheart, Will received a gift from Stacy.” Simeon added ironically, “Do you remember her?”“I remember, unfortunately.” Melissa pouted. “Isn’t she happy and married to Igor in Victoria?”“Yes, but she decided to mess with my boy’s emotions.” D
