Building My Life Chapter 1898 He Can Come Back Already
Without realizing it, Cláudio is spreading his problems to everyone involved with Josias and Katherine. Diane is at her apartment talking about this with Daryl while serving breakfast.“Yesterday some poor fellow came in claiming to have been fired from a family of snobs in Sunset Village. He downed eight shots of Negroni and staggered out of the Crystal Blue.”Daryl shakes his head dismissively, “Instead of the guy looking for another job, he wastes time getting drunk. That's why he can't get a job! But it’s always the boss’s fault.”Diane pushes the plate of toast towards him, “Eat well, my love. I have noticed that you’re not eating right. The frantic activity of the restaurant shouldn’t distract you from your health.”“It's not Crystal Blue's frenzied activity that has taken away my appetite, dear.” Daryl takes a deep breath to admit, “It's that subject that's still eating away at me. At that point, Octavio Motta told everyone at Rocha Constructions that I was a soap opera villain
Building My Life Chapter 1899 A Recomendation from Rodrigo
Diane visits Marçal Publishing to have a conversation with her sister-in-law Maggie.The two enter the office of the editor-in-chief of Maggiezine, “Diane, I can see you down. Is Daryl giving you a hard time?”Diane sighs, “Oh, oh... we have tough ones, but they aren't caused by your brother.”“Sit down. In this busy life of ours, we haven't had time to sit back, relax and talk.” Maggie does the same.Diane sits down and starts venting, “Daryl still hasn't forgotten what happened before Veronica's wedding.”Maggie reacts by having a mental snap, “Hmm... I wanted to know that too. Is it true that I was almost barred from the wedding without knowing it? Even though I was a prearranged bridesmaid?”Diane gestures, “You weren't technically barred. It was Mr. Motta who decided to disinvite Daryl because he appeared at Rocha Constructions to talk about Josias's son. The rumor that turned out to be false.”“Fortunately. Alan Campos Rocha is the most prepared son to take over the company when
Building My Life Chapter 1900 What Else Is Left For Josias To Achieve?
Josias and Katherine talk in her office. Katherine is tense, thinking she will be unmasked.But Josias reassures her, “Kate, I told Alfred I would never blame you if you were the victim of sexual harassment. By the way, that's why you fired Cláudio Guzman, right?”Katherine's eyes widen, lost in thought, “Darling... Do you know that I fired Claudio?”Josias's eyes widen, “You don't need to pronounce the scoundrel's first name, dear. It sounds like you're defending him. Shouldn't we take the opportunity to call the police?”“NO!” Katherine steps forward and places both hands on the phone to prevent Josias from touching the device, “No need, dear. I... I don't want—”“You don't want a harasser to pay for what he did?” Josias angrily asks, “Remember that the same instructor was misguiding young girls on the beach at Sunset Village, taking them to secluded corners to pervert them. Can you imagine them screaming and crying as he banged them mercilessly?”Katherine imagined HERSELF under Cl
Building My Life Chapter 1901 Carlos Campos Highway
1999Citizens of Lagoon City were clustered along the highway that connects Sunset Village to the rest of the city. Mayor Tobias had a microphone speaking to the listeners.“Therefore, dear citizens, it is with great pride that I present to you our highway renamed Carlos Campos Highway!”Everyone applauds effusively. Fireworks are set off to increase the joy and scare children and animals.Amid the euphoric crowd, the Campos family is grateful for the tribute.Tobias decided to do this favor to his friend Josias, “What's up, buddy?”“Thank you very much, Tobias. And I believe the Campos family members are equally grateful.”Melissa approaches them with tears in her eyes, “Mayor Tobias, thank you for honoring my grandfather.”“You're welcome, Mrs. Mountain. You deserve to be recorded in Lagoon City history.”Simeon steps forward, “Does that mean when it's my turn, I get my name on one of the streets in Sunset Village?”Melissa pats her father's arm, “Don't play with something like that
Building My Life Chapter 1902 Josias Wants To Protect
In the Mountain Penthouse, the family was having fun in the outdoor area on the second floor. Caroline is showing everyone how her swimming skill has improved thanks to the instructor. A portable radio is playing “Every Morning” by Sugar Ray.Kelvin appears shirtless and in swimming trunks, a platter of grilled meats in hand, “The food is here, everyone!”Maggie stands up, “Hmm... I'm hungry and that sausage looks appetizing.”“Careful, little sis, don’t ruin your Miss body.” Kelvin jokes.“Oh, I’m thirty and I’m already a mother.” Maggie giggles as she chooses what to eat with a small plastic plate, “I can eat more than just lettuce.”Bernardo nods while lying on a deckchair, “Supported, darling!”Daryl, wearing sunglasses, keeps looking up the stairs, “What happened to Melissa?”“She said she got a call from Josias and is talking in the office,” Kelvin responds calmly, placing the platter on a white table.Daryl walks over to help himself, “Little brother, that picture taken by Vern
Building My Life Chapter 1903 It’s Necessary to Fire Him
Francisco has finished swimming and has now brought Isabel a small plastic plate of food.“Thank you, my darling. Want to eat some? After all, you must have expended a lot of energy on that swim.” Isabel comments casually, or not.Francisco takes a deep breath, “If I'm still in one piece, it's because of this. We should take advantage of that we still have some vigor left before things like arthritis finish us off.”Isabel nods, “Absolutely. I, as a writer, must guard against RSI.” She gently waves one hand before stabbing her fork into the piece of chicken.When chewing the piece, she chooses another and points to Francisco. Francisco smiles when he gets the piece in his mouth and eats it, smiling affectionately at his girlfriend.Caroline is happy for the couple and whispers to Reuben, “I hope we'll be like this when we're old. Nothing and no one will separate us.”“For sure.” Reuben blinks.Melissa goes up to the outside area with a broken face. She is even more distressed when she
Building My Life Chapter 1904 Melissa Doesn't Falter
Hours passed, and Daryl took matters into his own hands as the patriarch of the Mountain family.The adults are gathered in Melissa's office. Daryl wore a T-shirt, and the women wore Bermuda shorts over their bikinis, but Kelvin is still shirtless in his trunks.Daryl determines, “After all the information Josias has given Melissa, we need to look for another swim instructor. Caroline has been voted 'the Princess of Lagoon City' by our fans, and if anything happens to her, the public will blame US instead of the rapist.”“How is that possible, dear?” Diane asks wide-eyed.“People will ask why we didn't realize this sooner.” Daryl responds in a serious tone, “They expect us to protect the kids from everything.”Melissa keeps pensive, without giving an opinion.Diane adds, “Maybe that's why he didn't want to name names when he met me.”Someone knocks on the door. Francisco sees who it is, it's Rodrigo.“Father, I’m here. What happened?” Rodrigo is amazed to see the family together.“Com

The next day, Tiago met Melissa at Café Montanha. They sat at a table in the far corner, afraid someone would see them.“Melissa, it’s a pleasure to serve my master's ex-wife.” Tiago greets her, “Rest assured that your request will be granted.”“Remember: I want to know everything about Cláudio Guzman, but the truth!” Melissa holds up her index finger, “Dismiss the gossip and rumors. Someone is about to be accused of being a rapist, and for that, we need solid arguments.”Tiago listens attentively to Melissa, “Of course, Melissa. A false accusation could ruin the swim instructor's life. Now, I would like to know what you think of this.”Melissa hardens her gaze, “Tiago, you will be shocked by what I say. But I don't think there was any harassment. If there was any sexual interaction, it wasn’t forced.”Tiago gets enraged, “Do you mean that Katherine Bezerra adulterated and betrayed my master?”Melissa gasps and gestures, “I wouldn't go that far, but after I heard Rodrigo's story... He

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

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—”
