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
Building My Life Chapter 1909 The Research Is Ready
Time has passed. In the Mountain Penthouse, Melissa was preparing breakfast for her family. Dora showed up very early to help her.“Wow, daughter, why are you in such a hurry to leave?” Dora finds her daughter already dressed up in a brown suit, purchased from one of the exclusive stores whose saleswomen only need to bow when Melissa enters.“I have an appointment today.” Melissa blinks mysteriously.Melissa's cell phone which was left on one of the kitchen islands rings. Melissa sees the number on the caller ID and smiles, “Hello?”On the other side, Tiago is in his house with James playing around, “Melissa, this is Tiago.”“I can see your number, Tiago.” Melissa giggles.“Ah, I'm still getting used to these modern devices.” Tiago also chuckles, “Anyway, everything ready for our date today?”“All right, I'm already advancing breakfast.”“OK, I hope I can help you. Goodbye!”“Bye!” Melissa hangs up, “Mom, do you have your cell phone yet?”Dora shakes her head and glances at the coffee
Building My Life Chapter 1910 The Complaint Was Made
Melissa enters Café Montanha. Rodrigo and Francisco are at the counter. All customers have already been served. The radio is playing “Scar Tissue” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.Francisco approaches Melissa, “Good morning, Melissa. How are things in the penthouse?”“If you mean the swimming instructor, I hope to get this resolved today.” Melissa smiles slightly, “Rod, see me a cappuccino.”“Coming...” Rodrigo starts to prepare.Melissa had already had coffee, but she decided to strengthen her stomach. She also ordered potato bread and sat down at one of the tables.When Francisco served her, he continued, “I tried to calm Izzy by pointing out that we had no evidence for a conviction, but she wouldn't let Reuben keep Caroline company. Do you understand her, Melissa?”“Don't worry, Francisco. I won’t be offended.” Melissa guarantees.“Thanks.” Francisco faces the entrance when he feels someone enter.“He's with me.” Melissa widens her smile when she sees it's Tiago.Tiago sits down witho
Building My Life Chapter 1911 Was There Abuse?
After long minutes of crying, Vera decided to pull herself together and lift her head, “Why am I so desperate? I'm sure Wally will never pay attention to the whore who got pregnant again.”Carmen smiles reassuringly, “That's right, my friend, let's think positively. Hey, is the radio off?”“Ih!” Vera runs to follow the tradition. Otherwise, Teodoro's ghost would haunt the building, so they believe. Jennifer Lopez's song “If You Had My Love” filled the room.“New singer?” Carmen scratches the back of her head.“I don’t know her.” Vera answers with a shrug, “1999 has been the year of debutant pop female singers.”Carmen jokes, “If I take singing lessons, maybe Tiago will be interested in introducing me.”Wallace appears and sees Vera wiping away her tears, “Vera, was the joke so funny you're crying?”“No, honey, I was crying because Pamela called again.” Vera replies, snuggling into his chest, “I think we better report her to the police.”“Moral harassment,” Wallace responds with a frow
Building My Life Chapter 1912 Your silence benefits him!
In the Mountain Penthouse, Simeon and William visited Dora to talk about the news. William found Josias's distress amusing.“You’ll see.” He remarks between chuckles, “Everything will work itself out, and Josias will have to apologize on his knees to the instructor. This will teach him to be humble and stop accusing others of the worst things.”Simeon raises an eyebrow, “Do you include yourself in this, son?”“Clear!” William brags, “Haven't I been behaving myself?”Dora serves them coffee and bread in the kitchen, “You still haven't rebuilt Uélton's house as Josias ordered. So it's all the same.”William points to the crutches, “I think I've had enough punishment. Anyway, my sister will sort it all out.”The bell rings. Dora withdraws to answer it.William eats voraciously and Simeon notices him, “Son, be careful not to get too fat. This makes it harder to get around.”William chews and swallows, “Thanks for your concern, Dad, but the cornbread here is perfect and delicious!”Dora re
Building My Life Chapter 1913 Non-existent Complaint
The next day, it was Josias's turn to go down to the dining room and not find Katherine having breakfast with the children.“Good morning boys. J.J., where is your mother?”“Mom went to the police station,” J.J. replies, about to chew the cornbread.“OK. Eat breakfast. We have a parent-teacher meeting today, huh?” Josias widens his smile, “Have you been behaving well?”Alan and J.J. look like 'little angels' and Josias suspects that they are the biggest troublemakers in the entire school.******Katherine is wearing sunglasses and casual clothes at the police station, fearing recognition. She leans into the front desk and a female officer answers her.“Good morning, how can I help you?”“I need to talk to Sergeant Moraes. It's about a crime that Mr. Josias Rocha denounced and he needs my testimony.”“And you are...?”“Please keep a low profile.” Katherine hands over an identification document.Instead of yelling and asking for an autograph, the officer just smiles and nods silently. S
Building My Life Chapter 1914 Buying time
Josias and Melissa are face to face, surprised by each other's visit.“Josias...” Melissa starts to speak, “You didn't need to come. You sure have a lot of appointments.”“One of my commitments today is to come here.” Josias assures with a gentle smile, “And J.J. is not your son.”“Oh, J.J. started studying here?” Melissa's eyes widen, “Is he already seven years old? How time passes...”“Yes, time flies. Even my hair flew.” Director Fernandez jokes while smoothing his bald head.Everyone laughs. Other parents start to show up.“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Please, the teachers are waiting for you here.”William appears and smiles wryly upon seeing Josias, “Ah, the hysterical of the year has arrived!”Melissa turns to her younger brother and frowns, “Will, you're not even going to forgive the parent-teacher conference?”“Sister, never miss an opportunity to humiliate someone. Isn't that your ex-husband's motto?”“What are you talking about, Will?” Josias asks sharply, “Is not yo
Building My Life Chapter 1915 A Pointless Question
Octavio is taken aback by this unusual and unexpected question. He closes the door, fearing that Daryl has heard this nonsense, “Girl! Do you want to lose the grace of being Mrs. Rocha again? Remember you are enjoying a second chance because Angela faltered!”“I know!” Katherine stands up, “But this is a feeling I can't shake! Why is it that since I married Josias, Melissa lives glued to him? Any and every occasion is an excuse for her to be around him!”Octavio shakes his head in disbelief, “Is this serious, Kate? Alan and Caroline are the children of Josias and Melissa. You’ll have to get over it.”Katherine smiles wryly, “OK, but does MELISSA get over the fact that Josias and I have a beautiful son?”“Yes, I'm sure.” Octavio lowers his voice, “Careful, Kate, don't tell the Mountain family these things. They are a bunch of gossipers who aren’t content to lead a peaceful life.”“If you're talking about Daryl Mountain, I completely agree.” Katherine rolls her eyes, “The asshole is imi

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
Chapter 3244 Taken by the CEO’s Son
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
Chapter 3243 Nobody’s Calling the Cops
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
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—”
