Building My Life Chapter 1800 Josias and Katherine Get Married (4)
Melissa meets with her family. Daryl and Diana arrive almost late and sit behind them.Kelvin leans towards her, “Where have you been, honey?”“I was talking to the bride, thinking she needed help.”Kelvin smiles, “How lovely, honey, you helped the bride...”“It wasn’t necessary.” Melissa responds dryly and faces the altar, “She was already dressed and made up by professionals. But I can't blame her. When I married Josias, I could count on my family and friends. Kate couldn't even count on the father who uttered curses when she tried to invite him.”“Glad you understand, sweetheart.” Kelvin kisses Melissa's cheek.Daryl is frowning and wanting to squeeze Melissa's neck, “Did you hear that, darling?” he whispered.“Yes, and I don't mean to make a fuss about it.” She whispers back.“She's comparing marriages—” Daryl cuts himself off as William takes a seat next to him, “Oh my God, did Josias invite you? I thought you hated him.”“And I hate him.” William snorts, “The invitation came on

Today is the inauguration of the new headquarters of Rocha Constructions!Josias keeps pinching himself to see if he's dreaming or if he's fulfilling yet another dream. He looks up and thanks God for all the achievements he has had.When looking at the crowd that awaits him, he instinctively looks for Everaldo. Where is he? Isabel swore he was at the wedding, but he didn't see him either among those present or at the wedding feast.Tiago was at the entrance of the building, on an improvised platform, speaking with a microphone to the crowd.“My dears, many of you know me as the 'money man'.” Laughter among those present, “Yes, I was the one who provided the start-up capital. There was a man, Romualdo Silva, who believed in a dream. After seeing how skillfully he and his team built my house in Happiness Slum, I couldn't stay quiet, I had to help him. Well, look how far we've come!”Everyone applauds effusively. Tia
Building My Life Chapter 1802 Alan Vows To Uphold the Legacy
In Teodoro's building, Beto and Teresa are happy to see the inauguration of Rocha Constructions' new headquarters.The radio announcer announces, “At this moment, countless onlookers, among them the company's builders, are entering in an orderly manner to tour the new facilities. Josias Rocha spared no expense or luxury in the new headquarters. It’s some great construction for a great company that doesn’t stop growing. Continue now with our normal schedule.”The radio started playing “My Heart Will Go On” by Céline Dion. Teresa hugs Beto, remembering the movie.“Shall we watch it one more time, dear?” she lovingly suggests.“I'm still not over that Jack died.” Beto wrinkles his nose, “I think there was room on that board.”Teresa laughs, “What matters is that he protected her until the end, while the other one escaped when it was only for women and children to get into the lifeboat.”“You are right, my dear.” Beto kisses her on the forehead, “So, can we plan our wedding? Or are we goi
Building My Life Chapter 1803 Don't Want a Wimpy Son
Flávia doesn't agree that Alan is speaking so aggressively. The boy is only twelve years old and will be thirteen this year. Why does he have this ruthless, cold businessman talk?“Alan, take it easy.” She tries to defuse the situation, “You still have a lot to learn.”But Alan stares at her with a frown, “Mrs. Freire, the sooner I accept my fate, the better.”The answer makes Uélton smile from ear to ear, “See, Reuben? Be aggressive and domineering like your best friend Alan, and you'll conquer the world.”Flavia rolls her eyes. She totally disagrees with this position and wants Reuben to be as meek and docile as possible, “What is this, Uélton? Do you want our son to be a bandit like Renan Vasconcelos?”Melissa is displeased, “Please, don't mention that name in this clean place! Flávia, you don't want your son to become a weakling either.”Flávia was going to retort, but Isabel's wise look made her silent.Reuben approaches Alan, “What about your brothers?”Alan maintains a mature l
Building My Life Chapter 1804 Psychiatric Help
Katherine is drooling over her new room. It’s on the side of Josias's office, having the same large windows that light up the space, not as big as the executive director's office, but definitely bigger than the one in the Vargas Building.“And then, dear?” Josias asks, seeing her happy, “Is the room approved?”“It sure is!” Katherine hugs him, “Who said you weren't? And so, son, do you approve?”“Cool, Mom,” J.J. responds sweetly.“Oh, you’ll come to visit Mom and you can wait here.” She points to an armchair, “Let's put some books on this shelf.”Melissa stops at the office door and watches Josias with his new family formation. She smiles slightly.Isabel approaches from behind, “They're pretty happy, aren't they?”Melissa gives a slight start and turns to her friend, “Yes, Izzy. They are happy and I thank God for that.”“And you, my dear?” Isabel gently asks, “Are you happy?”“I am.” Melissa nods, “I have my kids and twins. In fact, I think it's time for me to leave.”“Isn't there a

The next day, Josias is showing off his new office. Octavio, Tiago, Alfred, and Pollyanna applaud another achievement by Josias.“With all due respect to Jack, but I am the king of the world!” Josias jokes, paraphrasing the film.“What now, master?” Tiago asks, “How does it feel to win another stage of your life?”“Everaldo said I would have more blessings and I didn't believe it.” Josias stares at the urban skyline, “But he was right, as always. Are there more things to conquer?”“Of course, there is more. The sky is the limit.” Alfred responds excitedly.“Okay, everyone, let's start 1998 with a great job!” Josias claps his hands.The desk phone rings and Pollyanna walks over, “Oops, I've already started my work.” She answers, “Hello?”On the other side, Miguel is at his desk, “Hello, can I speak to Mr. Rocha? Here is Mr. Damascene.”“Just a moment.” She passes the mouthpiece, “Sir, it's your lawyer.”“Let's go away.” Octavio gestures and the others leave, leaving the boss alone.Jos
Building My Life Chapter 1806 College is important
Simeon and Dora get upset when they hear their eldest grandson announce that he won't be going to college.“What do you mean by that?” Dora exclaims, “Caio, nowadays, anyone who wants to have a full and fulfilled life needs to study more!”“Grandma, I’m already getting tired of High School.” Caio explains himself, “I'm learning what I need to continue working at the pizzeria.”Simeon raises his eyebrows, “So that's it? Are you thinking of staying forever at this pizzeria? My grandson, this is for people like your father and your grandparents, people who have no prospects for the future.”William feels outraged, “HEY, what do you mean, I have no purpose in life? My goal is to make this goddamn pizzeria grow, dammit!”Dora places her hand on her glabella, “Do we need this language?”“I think it's the only language you understand me,” William grumbles.“Son, get some sense in your little head.” Simeon advises him, “You are no longer the teenager of the '80s. Time is passing, your life is
Building My Life Chapter 1807 Feeling Guilty
Melissa is stunned when Alan arrives unexpectedly, and just with a scandalous question.She takes a deep breath and decides to answer calmly, “Son, I'm not in love with your father.”Alan makes a face that Melissa can't read. Disappointment?“O really?” He finally confirms, “If you saw yourself in a mirror...”“How I was?” Melissa smiles, deciding to take this topic as a joke.“Like a little girl in love talking to someone from the Backstreet Boys.” Alan finally smiles.Melissa bursts out laughing, “Son, what a scare! I thought you were asking seriously.”Alan is slightly embarrassed. He WAS asking seriously, “Well... Kelvin can rest easy, right?”“I won’t betray your stepfather just now that I have given birth to your brothers.” Melissa bends down and kisses her son's forehead, “Don't worry, young man, your mother won't create any scandal like Rosemary's mother.”“She and Pedro still haven’t returned,” Alan notes this detail.“Carmen said they're going to stay there. It's better than

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, “
Chapter 3246 Courted by Every Man in Lagoon City
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—”
