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
Building My Life Chapter 1906 Daryl Faces Octavio
Melissa ordered a taxi and headed for Sunset Village. When she stopped at the Rocha Mansion, she paid the fare and signed an autograph for the taxi driver who couldn't have been more than twenty-five and was very excited to be of service to her.“My wife won't believe it! Thank you very much, Mrs. Mountain!”Melissa smiles gently, “You're welcome. Good work for you!”After the taxi driver departs, Melissa enters the exterior of the mansion. Gardeners tend to the grass, azaleas, and peonies. As she rings the doorbell that sounds like heavenly bells, she takes a deep breath.“Who is it?” Alan asks, leaving Melissa relieved.“Alan, my son, it's your mother!”Alan more than quickly opens the door, “Mom! What are you doing here? My father is not there.”Melissa gets the feeling that Alan wanted Josias to be in the mansion. Was the son trying... “I need to talk to you, Alan.”“I didn't cuss Reuben.” Alan justifies himself automatically.“It has nothing to do with Reuben, although I'm glad t
Building My Life Chapter 1907 Josias Demands Answers
At Rocha Mansion, Melissa and Alan continue to confer.Melissa is agitated, “Son, try to convince your dad to hold his own. We're not sure if Katherine's claims are still valid. Probably just a misunderstanding happened...”Alan is equally concerned, “Mom, Kate can't get two sentences together when my dad brings up the subject. She starts shaking, and crying... she begs my dad not to call the police, but she never says what really happened when she fired him. It looks like Mr. Guzman raped her and she doesn't want to say it out of fear. If you don't want Mr. Guzman to go to jail unfairly, you’ll have to talk to Kate.”Melissa takes a deep breath and lets out a long sigh. Talk to Katherine? If in recent months she has returned to being hostile...At this, Melissa has a mental snap, “Son, don't you want to go back to the penthouse? Carol misses you.”“My dad almost had a stroke when you asked him last year.” Alan scratches the back of his head, “I don't know Mom, I feel like I'm still n
Building My Life Chapter 1908 Prosecution and Defense
Melissa and Katherine go to Josias's office. When the lady of the mansion closes the door, Melissa has a strange feeling that she would never leave there.“Why did you close the door so ominously?”Katherine smiles mysteriously, “Are you afraid of something, my dear?”Melissa composes herself, “Yes. I am afraid that they will condemn an innocent man.”“If anything has happened to my Josias—”“No woman!” Melissa interrupts her, “It's happening, but with Mr. Guzman!”Katherine once again loses her composure. The name of Claudio acts on her like a kryptonite, “I-I... I don't know why you came to bother—”Melissa's voice is cleaver-sharp, “Didn't you know Mr. Guzman is teaching my daughter to swim? I believe so because even Alan was not spared from this story. Josias is very angry and demanded that I fire him.”Katherine is stunned, “And you still haven't fired him? What do you expect in obeying my husband without delay?”Melissa smiles wryly, “I happen to obey MY husband, Kelvin Mountain

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

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

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—”
