Building My Life Chapter 1736 Too Late to Report
The biggest scandal takes place at the police station when Beto and the tenants continue to 'drive' Vera to the kidnapping division.Vera continues to struggle as if she's being dragged into a madhouse, “NO, LET ME GO FOR GOD'S SAKE!”Ivan comes out of his office, disgusted with the melodrama, “What's going on here?”Beto addresses him, “I need to speak with Sergeant Moraes or someone who was in charge of investigating Renan Vasconcelos.”Ivan takes a deep breath in boredom. He thought he got rid of this case, “Who referred me?”“Detective Amoreira said you had the hot potato.” Beto smiles.“Let go of me, Beto, I beg you!” Vera is already hoarse from screaming.But Beto continues, “Sergeant, this is my sister Vera Reis, the victim.”“The victim who just wanted to make a complaint over the phone, without providing more details that could help in the industrialist’s arrest?” Ivan asks this question which at the same time answers, “I can’t be blamed for the guy being on the loose.”Vera'
Building My Life Chapter 1737 Josias Still Cares
At Rocha Constructions, the new secretary gets up to take Josias's jacket.“Good day, sir. Was your expedition unsuccessful?”“Unfortunately, you can say that.” Josias grumbles, “Our mayor has his career in jeopardy because of a maniac. Is Tiago present?”As if arranged, Tiago, Wallace, and Uélton appear together.“I was asking about you, Tiago. Where were you?” Josias asks him.“Master, we better go to your room. You will need some chamomile tea.”“There's already that tea in the kitchen.” The secretary promptly leaves to fetch a cup.“Thank you, Pollyanna.” Tiago leads the visitors to the presidential room.The four gentlemen enter the enclosure, Wallace being the last to close the door.“What else happened, Tiago?” Josias asks in a distressed way, “Your countenance already betrays the next bad news.”“Master...” Tiago sits in the visitors' seat, “Melissa Mountain is in the hospital.”Josias widens his eyes to the fullest. Wallace realizes how his friend still cares about his ex-wif

Melissa and Kelvin safely return to Crystal Blue. Diane and Frederick applaud the couple.“Calm down, people, the situation was not so serious,” Melissa responds calmly.But Dr. Silvana insisted on accompanying her, “What do you mean, Melissa? All care is still little. You need to rest for the babies to be born and grow healthy. That's what you want, isn't it?”“Of course I want this,” Melissa responds with tears in her eyes.Diane informs them, “Daryl left to pick up Alan and Caroline from school.”The restaurant door opens and those mentioned enter desperately.“MOMMY!” Alan and Caroline run and hug Melissa. The three end up crying.“Calm down, my kids, mommy is fine.”“I don't want you to die, Mommy,” Alan exclaims in distress.Diane can't resist and ends up crying too. How long will we have violence in this city?Kelvin is looking somber, “Well, now that you're all here, you better head to the police station.”“What’s the use of going to the police station?” Daryl dismissively ask
Building My Life Chapter 1739 Security Measures (2)
At Crystal Blue, Josias is relieved to see that Melissa is safe and sound.“Daddy, you don't have to worry.” Caroline says angelically, “Mom and Kelvin promised that everything will be fine.”Adults are embarrassed. How do you explain to Caroline that JOSIAS is the one making sure things are okay?Josias smiles slightly and strokes his daughter's hair, “OK, princess. You better go home with your mother.”Dr. Silvana approaches him, “Mr. Rocha, we were just going to the penthouse. Don't worry, Melissa and the twins are doing fine.”“Thank you, Dr. Silvana. You've been a loyal doctor. If you need anything...”“I need a boyfriend,” Silvana responds unexpectedly, making everyone laugh with the unusual reply.Kelvin approaches Josias, “Don't worry, buddy. I'm going to the police station right now.”“Let's go together. Nobody touches someone I love.” Josias responds coldly.Kelvin nods. The two gentlemen withdraw.“Where did dad go?” Alan asks.“He went to the police station with Kelvin,” M
Building My Life Chapter 1740 Now We Are Protected
At the police station, Ivan enters his office and gets terrified.Josias and Kelvin sat waiting for him, grinning mischievously.“What are you doing here? Who let you in?”Josias nods, “There is no such thing as ‘you can’t come in’ for me, my friend.”“As far as I know, Mr. Rocha, no one is above the law.”“But then am I UNDER the law because your wife thinks I’m attractive?” Josias gets to the heart of the matter.Ivan sits in the swivel chair with discomfort on his face, “Just say what you want because my time is short.”“Vera Reis’s life will be short if you keep the kidnapper out of prison.” Kelvin responds, “Now that Mr. Vasconcelos is free and knows that she was the one who denounced him, he’ll want retaliation.”“Meanwhile, he enjoys accosting my ex-wife in the street and freaking her out.” Josias completes.But Ivan smirks, “Wait, whose wife is she?”“Mine,” Kelvin responds without understanding.“So, Mr. Rocha, excuse me, the conversation will be with the young man here. If t
Building My Life Chapter 1741 The Forensic Lab Report
The next day, Melissa is relaxing in the Mountain Penthouse living room. She is lying on the sofa while Kelvin serves her breakfast.“More peaceful, my queen?”“Much more peaceful, my king.” Melissa smiles, “Breakfast looks good.”“I tried to do the basics. Hope you like it.”Alan steps forward, “I helped, Mom. And Caroline opened the jar of jam. She is very happy about the contribution.”Melissa laughs. Thank God, a peaceful and happy home life was all she needed.However, the landline rings and Kelvin answers, “Hello?”The classic doorman replies, “Mr. Mountain, Sergeant Ivan Moraes wants to speak with Madam Rocha. I dare not call the police this time...”Kelvin purses his lips, then replies, “Send him upstairs. There is nothing you can do to prevent this.”“OK.” The doorman hangs up.“Who was it, dear?” Melissa asks, interested.“Instead of sending a subordinate, Sergeant Moraes decided to come himself.”Melissa was going to chew on a ham sandwich, but her mouth tasted sour.******
Building My Life Chapter 1742 Saying Goodbye to the Children
Amoreira finishes reading the report and hands it to Beto.“And then?” Beto picks up the sheets but doesn't read them.“There is no arsenic or anything wrong with those sweets. The kids could have eaten it.” Amoreira responds serenely.But the news doesn’t cheer the couple. Teresa blusters, “But that, never! We teach our children never to accept anything from strangers. The person who gave those sweets said he worked for their aunt's husband, but we know that Vera doesn't have a husband.”“And the only person claiming to be my sister's husband is wacko Renan Vasconcelos.”“So, Detective, do we have the materiality to charge him to Sergeant Moraes?” Teresa asks in a pleading tone.Amoreira sits down at the desk, “The sergeant is in the Mountain penthouse taking Mrs. Mountain’s testimony. She was approached by the industrialist and she felt sick. But the babies are doing fine.”“Oh my God!” Teresa covers her mouth with her hand in horror.“This freak is lusting after Melissa's naked bod
Building My Life Chapter 1743 Frustrating Testimony
Ivan continues to ask Melissa how what she alleges was an attack happened.“And then, Mrs. Mountain, you’re telling me that Mr. Vasconcelos, despite approaching you strangely and inconveniently, didn’t pose any danger to you?”Melissa's eyes widen, “What do you mean, he didn't pose any danger? He was about to kidnap me if not for my husband showing up!”Ivan wiggles, “I'm sorry, Mrs. Mountain, but I cannot draw the same conclusion. Were there security guards or bodyguards near him? Was there a black, ominous car parked in a convenient spot? If Mr. Vasconcelos wanted to kidnap you and saw that the lady was aloof, why didn't he abduct you immediately? Why did he come up with this ‘wanting to help you’ thing?”Melissa snorts, "Sergeant, I don't think the guy is going to openly admit that he was going to kidnap me!"“But the square was empty. An opportunity he had.”Melissa takes a deep breath, “I can't believe it! You want to set him free!”“I don't want to arrest people for guesswork, M

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, “

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
Chapter 3243 Nobody’s Calling the Cops
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—”
