Building My Life Chapter 1842 No One Could Foresee
Contrary to what Simeon and Dora think, William is already awake, but in boxer shorts and a white tank top, sweeping the living room floor to the rhythm of the song “Heaven's What I Feel”, by Gloria Estefan, without imagining that his family is thinking in Heaven this moment.Simeon and Dora go upstairs to the second floor and break down the door, scaring their son.“YAU! What the hell is this, want you guys to scare me to death?”Simeon didn't even think twice and punched his son with a straight right, “DAMN IT! It was you who killed him, you imbecile!”William staggers back, letting the broom clatter to the floor, “OUCH! What happened, why are you hitting me?”“Do you want to take another punch to jog your memory?” Simeon spins his clenched fist in the air.Dora approaches, “Enough, darling! One is enough.”William stares in horror at the person who should be defending the child she bore in the womb, “MOM! Why are you advocating this violence?”Dora rolls her eyes, “As seen, you're
Building My Life Chapter 1843 Flavia is still hysterical
The following day, everyone gathered for Uélton Freire's funeral and burial.Vernon took charge of the news story and tried to be as discreet as possible. If that happened while they were still enemies, the news in the newspaper would come out as acidic and disrespectful towards the deceased.Wallace decided to shelter Isabel and Reuben in his house, in fact, Isabel's old house when Harold was still alive.The radio in the living room was playing “Thank U” by Alanis Morissette, making Isabel sigh, “Yes, I thank God I had a wonderful son.”Wallace notices a detail, “Mom, the fire destroyed a lot, including your computer! How are you going to work?”“Don’t worry son. I have some money saved in my bank account. I can buy another one, just as I can buy other belongings.”“I have what's left.” Reuben shakes out his backpack with some clothes they managed to salvage from the rubble.Someone knocks on the door. Wallace goes to see who it is and finds Kelvin and Melissa outside.“Can we get i
Building My Life Chapter 1844 Not My Father, But My Older Brother
Kelvin and Melissa enter the funeral home and find the other acquaintances. They greet everyone.As they close in on Josias, Daryl snaps back to attention, but a wary look from Kelvin keeps the big brother from making a scene.“Josias, I am so sorry for your loss.” Melissa says, “Uélton was always like a kind of younger brother to you.”“Yes, until João Paulo came along.” Josias waddles in regret, “Why, even with João Paulo, I always cared for Uélton as if he were family, especially when Wallace was in jail.”“Glad he left...” Kelvin says, “In time to say goodbye.”Josias smirks, “The poor guy is thinking he should stay in jail as if he's bringing a curse on the family.”“Well, I don't blame him.” Melissa says with a sigh, “First, it was the father who died two years before, and now, Uélton.”“These are things that happen, none of it was premeditated.” Josias frowns, “I don't think anyone should feel guilty.”Dora approaches them, “Ah, but there is someone who is symbolically guilty,
Building My Life Chapter 1845 The Punishment
Josias continued with the eulogy.“Uélton Freire, against the expectations of many, proved to be a great man, a great citizen of Lagoon City, a great husband, father, and son. We’ll miss him. I’ll miss you...” Josias smiles slightly, “Looks like I can no longer ask him to discipline your tongue. Incidentally, his last words were 'I know you love me the way I am'.”Some women start to cry. Isabel wipes her tears with a silk handkerchief, smiling at the memory.Josias can't take it anymore, “That's all, thank you.”Everyone applauds. Wallace is proud of the speech honoring his younger brother.The priest goes up to the tribune where Josias was and begins to say a prayer.But Simeon and Dora are still bothered by the fact that William wasn't there...******At William's house, he is now showered and resting on the sofa. The radio this time plays the song “Say You Love Me” by Simply Red.The door opens and Caio enters. He glares at his father.“Son! How were the funeral and posthumous tri

Time passes, and with it, the pain of Uélton's death felt by the Freire family. Isabel and Reuben are still well-settled in the Mountain Penthouse.The living room radio plays “La Copa de la Vida”, by Ricky Martin. Everyone is excited for the next World Cup, this time held in France, and the perspective of Brazil being five times champion.Melissa shrugged about it, “We were four times champions in 1994. Don't you think it would be good to leave the opportunity to another national team?”Kelvin almost has a heart attack with such a question, “Honey, where's the patriotic spirit? No, the more trophies we win, the better!”“OK, I'm just bored.” Melissa smiles.On the couch, Alan and Reuben were checking their sticker albums.“I already have this one of Romário, take it for yourself.” Alan passes him a sticker.“Thanks, Alan.” Reuben thanks him.Melissa looks at the boys and thinks they are brothers.Isabel comes from Melissa's office, “Melissa, thanks again for letting me use your compu
Building My Life Chapter 1847 I'll Take Care of My Little Grandson
Wallace is saddened when he hears the bombshell. Carmen and Vera don't know what to say at the moment.After a few seconds, Wallace decides to chime in, “Ehr... Any idea about what to do with my nephew?”“He’ll have to stay with his grandmother.” Carmen talks like it's the most normal thing in the world.“And will he never see his mother again?” Wallace scratches his head, “Don't you realize we're practically orphaning Reuben?”Vera decides to opine, “Yes, dear, but what can you do? Flavia is still shocked and hysterical. She is not herself. If she takes care of Reuben in a traumatic state, she could commit suicide with her son!”Wallace purses his lips and shakes his head, “Let's not talk nonsense! We’re not mental health professionals.”Carmen shrugs, “Well, the mental health professionals staying in Victoria have decided to keep her quiet until she recovers.”Wallace grabs his hair, “Oh God, how am I going to tell my mom this?”“Do you want me to go with you, honey?”Wallace nods w
Building My Life Chapter 1848 I Won't Pay a Penny!
The next day, William's door is slammed. Caio appears in plaid sweatshirt pants and a T-shirt, rubbing his eyes.“Who is it?”“Wallace Freire!”Caio opens the door and Wallace comes in like a hurricane, “Caio, I’m sorry for intruding, but I need to talk to your father.”“He is still sleeping,” Caio answers, worried.“Yesterday the pizzeria was closed.” Wallace isn't asking, he's stating, “So he has every reason to be up early.”Caio raises his hands, “I believe you want to talk about the renovation of the house.”“Or the lack of renovation!” Wallace blusters, “My mother and nephew are still bothering your aunt.”“I'm sure Aunt Melissa loves hosting Mrs. Freire and Reuben.” Caio smiles, “But let’s wake my dad.”Caio turns on the radio and turns up the song “Everybody Get Up”, by Five, to the maximum volume. The song seems to have been written for William.Behold, he appears in the living room with bloodshot eyes, in poorly placed boxer shorts, as he had slept naked, “WHAT IS GOING ON H
Building My Life Chapter 1849 Will and Ivan
In the Teodoro Building, Beto was entering with a small package. He deposits the package on the lobby counter. The radio fulfills its function by playing the song “Never Ever”, by All Saints.Teresa is attentive to the package, “What is this, dear?”“Our wedding invitations. See if it’s to your liking.” Beto responds with a smile.“If it's the way we ordered it...” Vera gets excited and quickly opens the package.She pulls one out. The invitation, made on recycled paper and light green, said in elegant calligraphy that Roberto Reis and Teresa Robinson invite those chosen to their marriage.“A pity that our parents are no longer with us.” Roberto sighs, “But I think the invitation turned out well.”“It turned out wonderful, darling!” Teresa gets emotional, “I hope people accept the location of the ceremony.”“It will be easier for a lot of people.” Beto says, “Shall we start mailing them?”“Yes!” Teresa quickly pulls out the phone book to get the addresses of all the guests.******At

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

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—”
