Building My Life Chapter 1819 Man Who Has Kids Is Sexy
At the police station, Chief Kleberg goes to Ivan's office to end his dream. The sergeant is disheveled, with dark circles under his eyes, clothes reeking of sweat, and an exclusive coffee pot on his desk. Ivan typed on the computer like a sleepwalker.“Ivan, stop right now with what you’re doing!” The Chief orders him, “For your mental and physical health!”Ivan stops typing and looks at his superior with a glassy gaze, “What does the Chief want?”Kleberg closes the door, “I received instructions from Mayor Tobias. You should stop this loan shark case immediately and focus on recent crimes. I won’t give you any promotion if you put Josias Rocha behind bars.”“It's not about getting promoted anymore, chief.” Ivan responds without emotion, “It's a matter of honor. I lost my wife to the cover of a biography and Josias Rocha will pay for it!”Kleberg would normally laugh at this, but he holds back from driving his underling to suicide, “I'm serious when I say you need to protect your men
Building My Life Chapter 1820 No More Killings!
At Rocha Constructions, Josias wants to know from Tiago what he suggests to end the problems.But Tiago keeps silent, hoping to make the others understand.Katherine's face is shaking and her voice cracks, “No, Tiago, NO! Don't tell me you want another corpse!”“What are you talking about?” Josias asks, not sure he wants to know the answer.Tiago remains impassive, “Unfortunately, another death will be needed for us to finally have peace of mind.”“I DISAGREE!” Josias punches the desk, “Tiago, you're crazy! If someone dies, then indeed, we will be suspect # 01! I don't want to, I won't repeat the nightmare!”Tiago smiles macabrely, “Master, you don't need to stain your hands with blood. That's why your loyal servants are here. Igor is in the capital, but he still owes you loyalty.”Josias is wiggling frantically, “No, no, Tiago, that won't be necessary. Ivan—”“But we are talking about the same Ivan.” Tiago complete.“NO!” Josias is firm, “If Ivan Moraes dies, other people will suspec
Building My Life Chapter 1821 Treacherous Mind
In the evening, Flavia is putting the dishes on the dinner table, but her brain is working above normal concerning the trip to Victoria. Uélton approaches her coming from work, showered, and wearing a woody perfume.He approaches from behind and kisses his wife's neck, causing her to almost drop one of the dishes, “Oops, honey! Careful, don't scare me.”“I didn't mean to scare you. I wanted to kiss you good evening!” Uélton reasons like a child.Flavia's uncertainty only grows and she blurts out without thinking, “Let's leave Reuben at the Rocha Mansion!”Uélton gets angry and grabs Flávia by the wrist, forcing her to turn around to face him, “Negative, my dear! Reuben will stay here at home with his dad! Why do we need to bother Josias at all?”“I thought he was your best friend...” Flávia tries to free herself while uttering this lame excuse.“No way.” Uélton scowls, “I want to spend more time with my puppy. Is this some crime?”“It's a crime when you're the same mental age as him!”
Building My Life Chapter 1822 Two Boys
At Uélton's house, Reuben doesn't know what to say to his parents. He is confused by Flávia gesticulating hidden from her husband and Uélton with an assuring smile.“Ehr... I don't know.” The boy responds, “I wanted to go and see Rosemary and Pedro—“Flávia rudely cuts him off, “You can't, son, I already told you that you have school to go to!”Uélton holds out his arms, “Then it's settled. Let's stay home, just the two of us. It's going to be fun, sonny!”“Really?” Reuben starts to buy the idea, to Flávia's dismay.“Yes. Let's play video games, watch 'The Lion King', play video games, eat pizza at Campos Pizzeria, play video games, go to the beach, play video games...” Uélton scratches his chin, “Did I forget something?”“Play video games!” Reuben holds out his little arms, fully embracing the idea.“That’s it!” Uélton and Reuben embrace.Frustrated to the max, Flávia waves her hand and knocks over all the dishes and glasses on the table. The deafening noise startles the two men in t
Building My Life Chapter 1823 Everyone Is Getting Engaged
Isabel arrives home and hears crying coming from afar. She walks into the kitchen and is shocked by the scene of destruction.“OH GOSH! What happened here? Hello everyone, where are you, folks?”The door to the master bedroom opens and Flávia comes out, crying profusely, “Izzy... A tragedy happened.”“What happened, my daughter? Where is Uélton, where is my grandson?”“I DON'T KNOW!” Flávia kicks the china shards, “They probably went for pizza at Campos Pizzeria!”“I’m waiting for the explanation.” Isabel crosses her arms. She already understands that her daughter-in-law is causing unnecessary drama.“Reuben, even with me gesturing him to refuse, has decided to stay here with his dad!” Flavia talks like it's the end of the world.But Isabel just takes a deep breath and goes after the broom, “Is that it? Problem solved, daughter-in-law. We can go to the capital. Ray Chaves agreed to host us for free.”“Izzy, did you hear what I said?” Flávia turns to her with red eyes, “If I leave thos
Building My Life Chapter 1824 Mom Is Here
At Uélton's house, Flávia and Isabel cleaned up the shards and had dinner with other dishes. Now the two ladies are mulling over what to do.“Flávia, when my boy arrives, you need to apologize.”“You don’t help with ‘my boy,’ mother-in-law.” Flávia sighs in regret, “Uélton is 34 years old, he is already a grown man with a beard on his face – and he looks so manly with a beard – he should take life more seriously and set an example for my son.”“Perhaps this trip is all that Uélton needs for him to set an example.” Isabel reasons, “Uélton is always at work, he only has contact with his son on weekends. I strongly believe that our trip will be of benefit to them.”“And having the house burned down will be beneficial to them?” Flávia insists like a scratched record.Isabel rolls her eyes, “We'd better pack.”“We better cancel the–”The living room door opens and Uélton and Reuben return from the pizzeria. They are laughing and talking.“Dad, you killed it!” Reuben exclaims, “Now all we n
Building My Life Chapter 1825 Let's Begin the Session
The next day, Flavia is on the phone still in her pink robe, talking furtively to someone. She looks back, afraid someone will find her.On the other side, Maggie is also in a pink robe and still sleepy, yawning and going to the phone that rings stridently, “Who will it be at this hour? Hello?”“Hello, Maggie?” Flávia is shocked to be attended to.“I can't hear you, honey.” Maggie smiles slightly.“Mrs. Marçal, this is Flávia Freire.” Flávia speaks hastily, almost whispering, “I need to let you know that I won’t be able to go on the trip due to a scheduling conflict.”Maggie is surprised, “Did something happen, Flávia? Your mother needs your company. If you can't go, she can't go either, but we already have a whole schedule arranged.”Flávia smiles in relief, “Thank you, Mrs. Marçal, for your understanding. Perhaps the autograph session can be postponed for a few more days, that way we can resolve the pending matter.”“I need to tell my husband.” Maggie yawns.“Sorry for the inconveni
Building My Life Chapter 1826 We Messed Up Her Life
Wallace sits on the classic divan but still doesn't dare to lie on it like he always sees in American movies. Sandro smiles and sits down in the armchair with his notebook.“And then, Mr. Freire... Or we can cut the formality, don't you think? I'm Sandro and you're Wallace. I bet your family must call you Wally.”The nickname itself already gave Wallace the shivers, “My girlfriend... the one I hated in the '80s...”“Let's start with her.” Sandro puts on his glasses and takes out his pen, “You met Vera Reis...”“I want to go back further, Doctor.” Wallace says firmly, “For me, it all started precisely in 1980 when Josias Rocha entered our lives through my younger brother.”“Proceed.” Sandro is attentive.“Josias Rocha had two kittens chasing him: Melissa Campos and Pamela Chaves. But Josias just loved Melissa. Melissa was a virgin, pure, decent, and promised to be the perfect housewife. But Pamela was the opposite: promiscuous, vulgar, immoral, a modern Jezebel. One fine day, Melissa's

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—”
