Building My Life Chapter 1767 Love and Understanding
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
Building My Life Chapter 1768 Secrets from the Fiancée
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
Building My Life Chapter 1770 He Said He Loves Me
Vera is in front of the person who promised to help her but only made her situation worse.Renan still tries to make himself worthy, “How could you do this to me, Vera? Why did you run away from the Rocha Hotel? I saved you, I was treating you like a princess!”“You were treating me like a prisoner!” Vera roars, “And everything changed when I found out you owned the very same nightclub where I was being bullied.” Vera claps her hands ironically, “And you still say I should thank you for getting me out of there, but what about the other dancers?”“I felt you didn't fit in that place,” Renan responds dryly.But Vera is not calmed by this, “I thought you were going to say that you fell in love with me. But that didn't even happen, right? You didn't see me as a woman, you saw me as property, the ‘boss wife’.”“I respected you.” Renan retorts.“Of course, because you didn't want to add ‘rape’ to your criminal record, correct? You’ll still be indicted for it. I hope the Victoria Police hunt
Building My Life Chapter 1771 Why Does It Have to Be You?
At the police station, Amoreira is enjoying another issue of Maggiezine while propping his feet up on his desk. Ivan enters the office and finds it strange to spot the detective like that.“What is this, Amoreira? Are you following the episode's summary of 'Sweet Love'?”Amoreira is not offended and straightens up in his chair, “Well, if I can't follow the program live, I have to resort to the summaries. But that's not just why I have fun with the magazine.”Ivan shoots the detective a suspicious gaze, “OK, if you say so... I need you to get busy with a case.”“What happened?” Amoreira is even more interested.“Renan Vasconcelos drew attention to the fact that Josias Rocha was greatly benefited by the death of loan shark José Augusto Rios, in 1984. Somehow he insinuated that Josias was not the only beneficiary...”Amoreira revolts, “Are you saying that the bandit accused Mr. Rocha of taking justice into his own hands?”“That's basically it,” Ivan responds cautiously.“This is nonsense
Building My Life Chapter 1772 Permission from Big Brother
Wallace visits the Teodoro building. Vera and Teresa meet in the lobby with the radio playing “Sunday Morning” by No Doubt.“WALLY!” Vera drops the broom and hugs her... friend? Boyfriend? Ex-husband?Teresa smiles when she sees her future sister-in-law all joyful, “Ah, that’s love...”Vera breaks the hug, fearing that Wallace will be enraged by the scandalous gesture, but Wallace was smiling, “Looks like I've gained a fan.”“Oh, you modest one.” Vera laughs and smooths her hand over Wallace's chest, hard as marble, “If you pose in Maggiezine with your shirt off, the ladies go crazy. Wally, you're too hot, always remember that!”Wallace laughs, still feeling unworthy of so much female admiration, “Don't overdo it, Vera. Anyway, how was your day?”“I faced the devil in jail,” Vera responds firmly.The answer displeased Wallace, “Vera, why did you provoke Renan Vasconcelos? If he gets out of jail, he’ll go straight after you to get revenge!”“And you will allow it?” Vera asks sweetly.“
Building My Life Chapter 1773 As Hunk as Josias
The next day, Katherine arrived at Rocha Constructions early and went directly to Tiago's office. But the finance director wasn't there.Determined, she went to the kitchen and found Tiago sipping a cup of coffee.“TIAGO!” She exclaims, making the poor guy choke on his sip.“Cough, cough!” Tiago almost drops the cup, but he manages to put it down on the table, “Phew! What is it, Kate? Do you want to scare me to death?”“The only thing I want to kill is my curiosity.” Katherine closes the door, “Can you tell me what Josias has so important to hide about the death of José Augusto Rios, also known as ‘the loan shark’?”Tiago is shocked and white as Michael Jackson. How did his master's fiancée find out about this matter?******At Uélton's house, Wallace met with the whole family at breakfast to announce that he is going to have a romantic relationship with Vera Reis. Everyone is curious.Isabel encourages him, “We're all here, son. Tell us the good news.”“Guys, please, I want you to un
Building My Life Chapter 1774 Million Dollar Question
Kelvin decides to pop into the living room to cut the meaningless chatter off, “Hello, ladies! Did I hear the last sentence correctly?”Melissa gives a reserved laugh while Dora laughs more uproariously, “Oh, Kelvin, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you jealous.”Kelvin shakes his head, “It's not that, Dora. I just thought it was strange that you wanted to involve my few-months son in spicy matters.”Melissa tries to patch it up, “Honey, we were just wondering about our babies’ future. For example, Mary will work at Maggiezine, but will she be the editor-in-chief? I think so.”“I don't think Caroline will have a problem with that,” Kelvin responds seriously, sitting in the armchair like a king.“And as for Ignacio, we just wonder if he will inherit his father's good looks.” Melissa stares at Dora pleadingly.Dora got the message, “That's right, it was no big deal.”Kelvin smiles slightly, but he's pretty sure the ladies mentioned 'Josias', “My son came from the womb of the most beauti

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
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—”
