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
Building My Life Chapter 1916 Potiphar's Wife
Josias's limousine stops at the police station and he opens the door to step out, “Melissa, can you wait here?”“Yes, Josias, thanks for the ride.” She smiles gently.“I need to see if Kate obeyed me.” Josias smiles slightly and leaves, closing the door.The driver looks at Melissa in the rearview mirror and decides to turn on the car radio. Westlife's song “Swear it Again” made Melissa more comfortable with the wait.“So he forced his wife to give a statement...” Melissa says to herself, “Kate is having the reaction of someone who has suffered major sexual trauma, but why do I feel, over and over, that such trauma doesn't exist?”Meanwhile, Josias enters Lagoon City P.D. The same policewoman who attended to Katherine earlier widened her eyes when she now saw her husband.“Mr. Rocha... what a pleasure to serve you. What can the police station help you with?”“Miss Officer, did my wife Katherine come here to give the statement? Is Sergeant Moraes there?”The policewoman nods vigorously
Building My Life Chapter 1917 Let's Bring Them Back
At Marçal Publishing, Maggie is checking the photos that have been taken by her respected photographers. Along with them was a draft of a likely article by the writers tied for the editor-in-chief to decide whether it could or couldn’t be worth publishing such an article.She narrows her eyes when a draft by the writer Gabriela is attached to a photograph of Katherine sternly arguing with a strange gentleman. Staring fixedly, it gave the impression that it was he who reprimanded Mrs. Rocha...In the draft, “Handsome gentleman accuses Mrs. Rocha of giving false testimony on the harassment charge. He called her 'Potiphar's wife'!”Maggie takes the phone from her desk and dials Gabriela's extension.At Gabriela's desk, the writer responds effusively, “Marçal Publishing House, Gabriela?”“Gaby, it's me. Come to my office.” Maggie orders in her editor-in-chief tone.Just as she's considering what to do, Diane bursts into the office, “Maggie, I know you're busy, but I need some advice!”Mag
Building My Life Chapter 1918 Understanding the Campos Family
Maggie sees the distress on Diane's face and gestures, “Come in, my dear! How can I help you?”“I know you are the little sister.” Diane sits down, “But sometimes it's women who talk sense into men's heads.”Maggie smirks, “Is there a problem with my brother?”“It's that subject of the rumor involving Alan Rocha that is still yielding.” Diane scratches her head, “I told Daryl to clean it up, but it looks like we just added more yeast to double the mess!”“What happened?”“Mrs. Queiroz and Mrs. Motta came to the restaurant bar to question me, as if I was guilty of something!” Diane exclaims, “And I just blurted out that it was Katherine who started the rumor.”Maggie narrows her eyes, “They didn't know about that?”“From the faces they made, no. Mrs. Queiroz even drank the cognac in one go.” Diane smirks as she recalls the scene. Elza looked like a lady drunkard from a low-grade tavern.Maggie smirks, “Hmm... Looks like Kate was looking forward to having J.J. as the successor and tried
Building My Life Chapter 1919 Permission from Bernardo
Maggie and Diane are in front of Bernardo to ask the CEO of Marçal Publishing for permission regarding Katherine's story.“Girls, we don’t even know who this guy is making this accusation.” Bernardo scratches his head and breaks out in a cold sweat. His wife wants to gossip against Josias Rocha's wife!“We can investigate.” Maggie continues excitedly, “I think it's going to be an interesting story. We don't need to put it on the first page, just a little space on the inner pages and...”“And the matter spreads like wildfire.” Bernardo adds, chuckling, “Maggie, are you aware that we are talking about Mrs. Rocha?”Diane rages, “We're talking about the woman who set my husband up! Now my husband has a bad reputation thanks to Octavio Motta. But she was the one who started all this!”“Mrs. Motta must be talking to her husband right now, and if I know Elza Queiroz well, she will also be telling her husband. And we know that Vernon Queiroz is going to dig it in depth and make the most sensa

Chapter 3237 Mary’s Quinceañera (1)
That evening, the Rocha Events Hall was elegantly lit, and the soft sound of a waltz floated through the air.It was a joint celebration for Ignacio and Mary Campos Mountain. But more than just a birthday party, it marked Mary’s fifteenth birthday — her quinceañera.Because of that, the entire hall had been reserved for this important and unforgettable occasion.At the center of it all, Mary danced gracefully in a flowing, elegant pink gown that made her look like a miniature bride. Her dance partner, a close friend of sixteen, guided her with surprising poise.Around them, seven other couples glided across the floor, including Ignacio, who partnered with a girl from a well-known family. Henrique, as the cousin of the twins, also had his partner following the waltz.From the sidelines, Kelvin and Karen watched the scene with quiet pride, while Melissa and Josias — especially Melissa, mother of the birthday twins — took in the moment with emotion.“Look at your daughter,” Josias whispe
Chapter 3236 Support Your Wife
In the Mountain Penthouse living room, the atmosphere was far from serene. The heated discussion between Suzy and her boyfriend’s family showed no sign of calming down.“I can’t believe this!” Suzy exclaimed, her voice tight with indignation. “You all actually think I’m in love with Luís Vasquez!”Karen raised an eyebrow, her tone biting. “You’re not?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Suzy barked back. “I’m in love with Felipe — I love him!”Kelvin, unmoved, folded his arms. “Just not as much as you love your money and your... ‘investments.’”Diane lifted a hand, hoping to bring reason to the conversation. “Suzy, I’ve turned a deaf ear to all the gossip about you. I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane... I don’t know why Felipe insists on believing the lies João Paulo QUEIRÓS keeps spinning!”Daryl’s expression darkened. “So the problem lies with the journalist, then. Looks like I’ll have to deal with
Chapter 3235 I Don’t Want Cursed Money
The Mountain Penthouse living room was filled with tension that morning. Everyone was taken aback as the truth behind the fight that had sent Felipe to the hospital came to light.“Well, if that’s how it is...” Daryl began, clearly processing the news.Diane, urgent to defend her son, jumped in. “But wait, why exactly did Felipe and Luís decide to fight?”Suzy’s lips curled into a sly smile. It was time to drop the bomb.“According to my uncle Eugenio,” she began, “Felipe barged into his office and announced that he wanted to break up with me — because my uncle was happy about me being featured on the cover of Maggiezine.”Everyone looked even more stunned.“Wait, what does that have to do with anything?” Kelvin asked, frowning.Suzy explained, “Felipe saw my uncle thanking Luís for sort of encouraging me to accept the interview with Maggie.”Daryl exhaled sharply. “So my son just had a jealous outburst. That’s all it was.”Diane shrugged. “He wasn’t serious about breaking up with you
Chapter 3234 The Girlfriend Showed Up
At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin and Daryl were relieved that everything had turned out okay. Diane and Karen were nearby, on the sofas, chatting cheerfully. “God was merciful and allowed our son to live a few more years,” Diane declared. “Now, you both need to rest,” Karen patted Kelvin’s chest. “We slept beautifully while you two were in that sterile lounge.” Kelvin yawned once more. “I think I’ll take my dear wife’s advice; what do you think, Daryl?” “Who said we own the place?” Daryl yawned as well. The ladies laughed at their funny husbands. The doorbell rang. Tony passed through the living room, offering, “I’ll get it.” When Tony opened the door, he was surprised by the visitor. “Miss Cogo?” “How funny, you don’t call me by my first name. Did Felipe manage to talk to you before the coma?” Suzy asked bitterly, without smiling. Tony reacted perplexed by this torrent of unfriendly words. “Uh... Come in, please.” Suzy entered, ready for the storm. “Who is it, big brothe
Chapter 3233 A Surprising Report
The next day, Matthew Hogan entered the General Hospital lounge and found Daryl and Kelvin incredibly exhausted but hopeful. “Doctor, how did it go?” Daryl nearly jumped on Matthew. “Calm down, the patient survived the surgery. It’s just a matter of time before he’s back in his room.” “Oh, thank God!” Kelvin cheered. Daryl couldn’t resist and hugged Matthew. “Thank you so much, doctor!” Matthew smiled, somewhat awkwardly, but aware that it was a common reaction. “You’re welcome, we did everything we could.” “Yeah, I understand.” Daryl released the hug, rubbing his eyes — whether from sleep or wiping away a tear. “It’s going to take a little while. I suggest you both go home and rest a bit,” Matthew said. “I think we’ll do just that,” Kelvin yawned. “Now that the danger has passed, I think I deserve it. Doctor, let us know if anything happens,” Daryl requested, patting the doctor’s shoulder. “I’ll do. And congratulations to you both.” Matthew left the lounge. Kelvin yawned a
Chapter 3232 The Detective I Trust
At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio and Jake are talking to Suzy about what is happening. Jake was upset. “Suzy, haven’t you gone to visit your boyfriend yet?” “I don’t know if it’s a good idea to show up there right now.” Suzy lowered her head. “The fight happened... here?” Eugenio responded indignantly, “Yes, in my beloved living room. Luís lost his temper when Felipe called him ‘Spanish Stallion.’“ Suzy lifted her head, completely changing her posture. “WHAT? Well, then, the beating didn’t come out of nowhere!” “Come on, sis, don’t go along with this,” Jake advised her. “They’re saying Felipe’s condition is serious.” “Serious is Luís getting teased every single day by the nickname he despises the most!” Suzy exclaimed. Eugenio decided to tell the whole story, “Suzy, there’s a lot more you don’t know.” “Tell me, uncle!” “Felipe, before being assaulted, said he wouldn’t continue dating you, claiming that the Cogo family would always prefer Luís.” Suzy reacted, paralyzed by this inf

Rodrigo and Nadia entered the General Hospital lounge, finding Karen and Diane. “We’re here! Where’s Daryl?” Nadia approached the couch. “He went to check with Kelvin for more information,” Diane sniffed. “Thanks for coming.” “We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t show up,” Nadia sat down near them. “And I’m a mother too.” Rodrigo poured himself some coffee. “Any news?” Diane took a deep breath. “Felipe is still awake. Dr. Hogan said the tests revealed a concussion, and they’re now deciding if surgery will be necessary.” “How horrible.” Nadia shuddered. “Well, whether surgery is necessary or not, I hope everything goes well for Felipe.” “Now, I find it strange that Suzy still hasn’t shown up!” Karen frowned. “Did you see her outside?” “No. We thought she was inside or with Daryl,” Nadia replied honestly. Diane shook her head. “No, guys, I can’t believe Suzy would choose to work or handle investments instead of checking on her boyfriend!” Rodrigo took a sip – the coffee wasn’t a
Chapter 3230 The Lady of Lagoon City Makes a Powerful Speech
At Vaztrans, William swallowed hard before answering Sofia’s question.“Sofia, your cousin really went too far this time,” he began cautiously.“What do you mean?” Sofia narrowed her eyes. “I know Luís can be a bit difficult, but—”“Yes, the hot Spanish blood speaks louder sometimes, right?” William took a deep breath. “Luís assaulted Felipe. Daryl rushed to the hospital.”Sofia reacted with her mouth open, holding her breath.Then she composed herself. “How could he do such a thing?”“Do you want to hear my guess?” William asked with a sly smile.“No! It can’t be because of Suzy Cogo!” Sofia ran her hands through her hair as if to pull it out.“It seems we were wrong to have accepted her partnership, huh?” William shook his head.“If she starts to tarnish Vaztrans’ reputation...” Sofia paced around the office. “First, her statement: her reluctance to raise the salary of the employees here. Now, this love triangle that I thought was over...”“Everaldo warned us to be careful with her,”
Chapter 3229 Despair at the General Hospital
At Vaztrans, William and Daryl were discussing the repercussions of Suzy’s article in Maggiezine.“People are accepting Suzy’s apologies and explanations,” William broke the silence, holding a copy.Daryl pursed his lips. “Whatever. Sometimes I think João Paulo is lurking, ready to pounce on anything to throw us into confusion.”“But the salary bonus we promised will be paid, right?” William smirked.“Of course, what choice do we have?” Daryl pointed to the magazine. “She made it clear in the interview. We’re not going to contradict her, are we?”William laughed ironically. “It seems Suzy is going to be the kind of person who does anything to get out of trouble, even if it means contradicting herself.”Daryl’s cell phone rang, and he answered, seeing it was Diane. “My dear is calling. Hello, Di?”Diane was at the hospital entrance, trying to be strong. “Hello, Daryl. We need you at the hospital.”“What happened?” Daryl’s eyes widened.“Luís Vasquez beat our son to a pulp, as they say,
