Josias enters Rocha Constructions and is applauded once again by Alfred, Pollyanna, and Octavio.“Hey, what's going on here? Again, celebration?”Octavio holds out today's paper, “Didn't you hear? The article unraveling the dark past of Renan Vasconcelos was published by Mr. Queiroz!”Josias picks up the newspaper with some apprehension. But later he calms down when he remembers that he hadn't told Vernon about Renan's connection with the loan shark.But was Vernon able to research on his own? “I'll read the story in my office. In the meantime, get back to work, we need to move this company.”“Yes sir!” Everyone exclaims excitedly.Josias goes to his office. Tiago was inside waiting for him to talk.“I'm going to read my father's article,” Josias warns him.Tiago smiles to reassure him, “Rest at ease, master. I already read the article. No mention of the loan shark.”Josias collapses in the presidential chair relieved, with a long sigh, “Phew! I thought I would have to explain myself

Vera returns from the police station with a relieved mind and soul. The confident countenance when entering the lobby of the Teodoro building infects Teresa and Beto.As part of the tradition, the lobby radio is playing “A Little Bit of Ecstasy” by Jocelyn Enriquez.“Little sister!” Beto exclaims and goes straight to hug his sister, “So, how was it?”“It was wonderful to vent and face past ghosts bro!” Vera exclaims excitedly.The embrace is broken.Teresa approaches her, “Welcome back, sister-in-law.”“So, what was it like living in the Rocha Mansion?” Vera curiously questions him.“Maggiezine didn't over-describe.” Beto responds, “The place is beautiful and refined. Josias deserves all that comfort after spending his youth hiding here in the favela wearing only sweatpants and R$5.00 in his pocket.”“I hope to be invited one day,” Vera comments as she breaks the hug.“The pool is a beauty.” Beto adds, “And I managed to swim naked the other night without Josias noticing.”“BETO!” Vera

In the Mountain Penthouse, everyone is in the living room after checking on the twins. The radio is playing “Stand By Me” by Oasis.Melissa announces to Alan and Caroline, “Children, Grandpa and Grandma are returning from Paris.”“Yay!” they exclaim.Caio is with them, “I hope my grandfather brings me a present. Maybe Grandma Dora managed to buy an exquisite perfume?”Melissa laughs, “Caio, you are very ambitious. With the money you are earning at the pizzeria, you can buy an international brand perfume for yourself.”“I hope, aunt.” Caio expresses hope.“That is, if the pizzeria doesn’t go bankrupt first,” Kelvin comments from his armchair.“Actually, Kelvin, with the article that came out in Maggiezine, the clientele increased at the pizzeria,” Caio informs him.Maggie smiles satisfied, “Ah, glad I helped.”“I want to help too, Aunt Maggie.” Caroline tugs at her blouse lightly.Maggie strokes her head, “When you're big, dear niece. Oh, and when your sister grows up, don't be jealous
Building My Life Chapter 1765 An Ominous Summons
The next day, Josias is reading the daily newspaper in his private library in the Rocha Mansion. The Economics section is quite lively. And Josias is also excited: the more Brazil prospers, the more Rocha Constructions prospers together.The desk phone rings and he answers it, “Hello?”One of the employees who replaced Lilian informs him, “Sir, Sergeant Moraes from the police station wants to speak with you.”“OK, I'll take it.” Josias waits to hear Ivan's voice.“Good morning, Mr. Rocha!” Ivan is in a weird tone in Josias's opinion, “Ehr... hope I didn't wake you up.”“No, I can't afford to wake up late on weekdays,” Josias responds excitedly.“OK, good... Ehr... could you come over to the police station?”“Is it to talk about Renan Vasconcelos?” Josias tries to understand the sergeant's fear, “I don't know if I'll be much help.”“It was what Mr. Bento said.” Ivan hastily replies, “But it will be of great importance, sir.”“I already gave my statement regarding the crazy talk in the

Wallace is curious to know what Vera has decided to do with her life.“Wally, I've decided I'm going to get some professional help before we start a reliable relationship.” She responds with her head down.Wallace smiles, “But Vera... that's cause for rejoicing! I don't understand why you are sad as if it were something shameful.”“It's just that now you're gonna think I'm crazy, or you're gonna be afraid of triggering my traumas and moving away from me...”Wallace gently takes Vera's face and lifts it. She looks at him with teary eyes.“I won’t abandon you,” Wallace speaks in a serious yet romantic tone that melts Vera's heart.“My dear Wally...”“No more wasting time.” Wallace responds, “I was pretty dumb not to realize I was marrying a wonderful woman in 1985. Well, I'm not letting you escape again.”“But what about my treatment? It could take months... years...”“Take your time.” Wallace smiles slightly, “When the psychiatrist decides you are capable of marrying me, we’ll do it.”

Josias is upset when he learns that Renan didn't want to sink in the high tide without dragging him along, the smart guy.He takes a deep breath and tries to defend himself as much as possible, “Sergeant Moraes, I need to locate myself in this story first. Renan Vasconcelos was detained for kidnapping and chasing Vera Reis and for maintaining an illegal establishment in the capital where numerous crimes took place. What does the death of the moneylender that occurred thirteen years ago have to do with this case?”Ivan checks the computer-printed sheets in Courier font, “Well... according to the detainee, you just helped the authorities to arrest him because of this incident. Mr. Vasconcelos would have said something about you being the mastermind of the crime.”Josias's heart races, but on the outside, he remains calm, “And how does Mr. Vasconcelos know that I had anything to do with it?”“Mr. Rocha, it's no secret to anyone here in Lagoon City that you were the victim of that loan sh

Josias is taken to Renan's provisional detention cell. When he finds him, his look is one of contempt and disgust.Renan was unshaven and his clothes were frayed and fetid with sweat. On the other side of the cell was another detainee for another crime that we will ignore for the moment.Renan smiles ironically when he sees Josias again, “Hey, you mean my denunciation paid off? They threw you to the joint, huh?”Josias turns up his nose, “I came here just to tell you that your ruse didn't work, pal!”Renan undoes the mocking smile, “What did you say?”“Prison didn’t affect your hearing.” Josias counters, this time it's his turn to smile, “You tried to drag me into the mud with you without explaining to the sergeant how you got involved in the loan shark's story. A failed attempt, my comrade.”Renan gets up, with a threatening face. If it weren't for the bars, there would have been a fight right then, “I was hoping you'd explain to the sergeant in my place.”Josias is surprised by the

Katherine was thoughtful in her office, remembering the conversation she had overheard from Tiago over the phone.She knew that Josias went to the police station to discuss the arrest of Renan Vasconcelos. But why did he talk to Tiago about the moneylender's death? What does one thing have to do with another?Could it be that Renan Vasconcelos was somehow involved with the loan shark? And is that why the sergeant summoned Josias to appear?Octavio enters her office, “Good morning, Kate! Thinking about wedding details?”Katherine disguises herself, “Yes, Octavio. There are so many things to arrange...”“I thought I had almost everything ready.” Octavio pulls up a chair and sits down face to face, “Even I know that the ceremony will be in your mansion, the honeymoon will be in Paris...”Katherine smiles, “Ah, but I assure you that for the occasion to be perfect, we cannot neglect the details. How about you?”Octavio is slightly surprised, “I beg your pardon?”Katherine giggles, “Come on

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

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
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

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—”
