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
Building My Life Chapter 1808 Josias Is Still Family
Katherine is having a cup of coffee in the new kitchen. She might have expected one of the ladies cater to serve her, but she decided to use her legs to get to know her new surroundings. The kitchen, three times the size of the old one in the Vargas Building, contained all the latest appliances, and the central table was huge, allowing more people to sit if they wanted to.But Katherine sipped her black coffee standing up. Octavio and Alfred appear laughing at any joke.“Will you tell me the joke?” Katherine smiles at them.“Kate!” Alfred greets her, “Or should I say, Mrs. Rocha?”“Please, continue the camaraderie. I won't call them Mr. Motta or Mr. Paterson.” Katherine shrugs.“You are the boss.” Alfred concludes, “But remember, Kate, things are a little different now.”“What has changed?” Katherine places the cup on the saucer.Octavio helps himself as he responds, “The fact that you are now the most powerful woman in Lagoon City.”Katherine takes a deep breath, “I don't want to let

The signs read: 'Dear Customers: Crystal Blue will be temporarily closed for renovations!'Rodrigo helped Kelvin hang the poster on the window, “I think it got crooked.”“I think it got perfect.” Kelvin opines, “Honey, how's the poster?”Melissa looks on with the precision of an architect, “It's crooked, honey. A little bit more to the left.”Rodrigo laughs while Kelvin gets upset.Daryl approaches Melissa from behind and startles her by saying, “You should have lied, Melissa.”“Wow!” Melissa turns to her brother-in-law, “Daryl, I’ll never lie to my husband in even the smallest of things.”“Does that mean then that you’ll lie about big things?” Daryl asks with an icy face.Melissa doesn't like the suggestive tone, “I’ll never lie to my husband, no matter the size of the situation.”Daryl smiles, but Melissa doesn't like his smile, “Allow me to explain somethin

At the police station, Ivan is fatigued and exhausted. He is unable to gather overwhelming evidence to fulfill his greatest dream: to arrest Josias Rocha.He is sure that Josias ordered the loan shark's murder... but how can he prove it? The idiot got away with erasing all tracks!Amoreira enters the sergeant's office and finds him on the verge of having a nervous breakdown, “IVAN! What is it, my comrade, why are you like that?”Ivan, who is hunched over the computer, immediately straightens up and grimaces, “I'm perfectly fine.”“You're sweaty, disheveled, with dark circles under your eyes, and you look like you've lost weight.” Amoreira gives an accurate analysis of the sergeant and his appearance, “If I didn't know you better, I'd say you had AIDS.”“Get out!” Ivan is offended.Amoreira closes the door, “Don't tell me you're still on the crusade against Josias.”“I am, and I won't rest until I can prove he ordered that murder!” Ivan punches the desk.“Fine, but before that, you get
Building My Life Chapter 1811 Conducted at the Police Station
Josias is horrified to see that Caio self-deprecates in this way, “Leech, you? No, Caio, I never thought of that!”“But that's what I think.” Caio gets up and walks away, “Uncle Josias, if you weren't rich, we'd all be in the favela today. No one has the same talent for business as you. My father would be the salvation, but he ruined his football career. My aunt Melissa would have married a guy from the favela and would still be poor today.”Josias gets up and tries to ease Caio's conscience, “My nephew, I never accused you of taking advantage of my wealth. On the contrary, I was always happy to help. Do you remember when we all lived close together in the little house in Green Park? I just couldn't leave your family behind.”Caio smiles bitterly at Josias, “Yes, and at that time my father was your great friend. How convenient. Now that my father no longer needs your money, he hates you.”Josias scratches the back of his head, “Your father’s question is more complicated.”“So, Uncle J

Caio goes to his grandparents' house. Dora is sweeping the living room to the tune of “Angel” by Robbie Williams, the new British singer who is stealing the hearts of Brazilian women.“Beautiful music, huh, grandma?” Caio asks playfully.“And the singer also is...” Dora answers without thinking.“What did I just hear?” Simeon suddenly appears from the kitchen, shirtless, freeballing in wet shorts and plumber's gloves.Caio bursts out laughing as Dora tries to fix herself, “Ehr... What is it, hubby, you know I love you. Even more so when you appear to me like this, all sexy, shirtless, and sensually wet...”Simeon pretends he's not getting carried away by the mood, “Don't make it up, woman. That water is what was stagnant in the kitchen pipe.”Dora was going to snuggle up against her husband's hairy chest, but when she feels the stench of dirty water from the sink mixed with detergent and grease, she wrinkles her nose and pulls away.Caio is happier to see his grandparents acting like
Building My Life Chapter 1813 Katherine is Interrogated
Katherine is ushered into the police station as if she were a suspect in murder or money laundering. Some photographers who were covering other news noticed her and photographed her. An LCN reporter got excited and ran to the van where the rest of the team was.“Someone please call Vernon Queiroz! It's urgent, Mrs. Rocha has just been arrested!”Amoreira watched Katherine walk serenely through the corridors behind a mute Ivan.“Moraes, what is going on here? Why didn't you ask these photographers not to take pictures of Mrs. Rocha?”“I can't stop the press from speaking out,” Ivan responds ironically.“Yes, you may, unless Mrs. Rocha has been formally charged with a crime!” Amoreira defends her.“Don’t interfere with my investigation, Amoreira!” Instead of pushing the photographers, Ivan pushes the detective, “This way, Mrs. Rocha.”Katherine decides to keep quiet. After all, anything she says now could be used against her in court.When they are closed in the sergeant's office, Ivan

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—”
