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
Building My Life Chapter 1744 Josias Is Told of the Truth
Later, after Beto returns from the bus station, he is in the office at the Teodoro building, conferring with Josias and Tiago.“Very well, gentlemen.” Josias takes the reins of the meeting, “Time to let me know exactly what's going on in town. Why was I not informed about the supposedly poisoned candies?”Beto responds, “Josias, I didn't want to bother you. You've been so busy with your company and the construction of the new headquarters... I needed to take control of the situation.”“I'm not saying you're incapable, Beto.” Josias clarifies, “I want to congratulate you for taking the initiative to protect your family.”“I know you always want to help.” Beto smiles, “The children are very fond of you, calling you Uncle.”“It must be because I was there from the birth of all of them,” Josias responds with a smile.“Anyway, Josias,” Tiago clears his throat, “There's something you need to know.”Josias stares at Tiago intently.“I had a private conversation with Renan Vasconcelos a while
Building My Life Chapter 1745 Distrusting the Host
A week later, Beto received the first letter from his children. He smiles and his eyes fill with tears.“So, dear, how are they?” Teresa approaches her beloved.They are in one of the living rooms of the Rocha Mansion as guests. Beto delights in the soft upholstery of the sofa.Beto responds, “They ate the expected chocolate cake, Grandpa Raymond welcomed them with hugs and kisses, Grandma Cristina and Seu Moacyr visited them too... and Mom Pamela is working as an executive secretary.”The last part of the letter left a bitter taste in Beto's mouth. He is certain that Pamela is actually her boss's lover and that her position as secretary is merely a cover.Teresa has the same feeling, “Well, the kids are at Grandpa’s house, right?”“Yes, they are re-meting Junior. The boy must be gigantic.” Beto scratches his chin, “Sixteen years old, older than Caio.”“Can I read the letter?”“Sure.” Beto passes the letter to his girlfriend.But when Teresa picks up the letter, she notices Beto's som
Building My Life Chapter 1746 The Love Nest?
At the Rocha Mansion, Teresa wants to know what Beto means by suspecting Josias.“Darling, you're not thinking of making up rumors and gossip about the man who saved our lives, are you?”“These aren’t rumors.” Beto responds frowning and slightly rude, “I overheard the conversation, and was present when they mentioned the loan shark.”“The loan shark?” Teresa is confused.“That guy who ordered to collect the debt from Josias’s father and the henchmen ended up killing him.” Beto responds, “Tiago Bento said that Renan Vasconcelos was the criminal's henchman, but when he was killed, Renan fled to Victoria... and now he's back as an industrialist.”Teresa also feels strange, “And this has to do with Josias?”“That's what I didn't understand... Mr. Bento also said that he recommended Secretary Ernesto to flee. As far as I knew, Ernesto and Lilian went to take care of her mother who had cancer. Was that then a lie?”“Ernesto also knows Renan Vasconcelos...?” Teresa covers her mouth with her

Chapter 3234 The Girlfriend Showed Up
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
Chapter 3233 A Surprising Report
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
