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
Building My Life Chapter 1920 LCN and Maggiezine in Partnership
Bernardo calls Vernon's office.Vernon is in his office writing a hot piece about a Vila Velha businessman accused of corruption, “Hello?”Bernardo chuckles, “Hey, shouldn’t it be ‘Journal LCN, Vernon Queiroz, good afternoon’?”Vernon laughs too, “I'm not used to such nonsense. That I leave to the secretaries. How can I help you, Bernie?”Bernardo doesn't remember permitting Vernon to call him that, but... “Have you been informed by your wife about the conversation she had with Diane today at the Crystal Blue bar?”Vernon's eyes are shining and the hairs on his arms are standing on end, “No, but I'm sure she'll tell me while we're in bed... to sleep, of course!” Vernon immediately corrects it, fearing it will sound pornographic to Bernardo.Too late, Bernardo turned up his nose, “Spare me your marital intimacy. Anyway, let me tell you, my wife is dying to publish a hot piece against Katherine, but she needs more research and reliable sources.”Vernon bounces in the swivel chair, “Are
Building My Life Chapter 1921 Vernon Is the Only One Who Can Anger Josias
Days passed, and with that, the certainty that Katherine feels that she will never be unmasked made her calmer. Josias noticed how her mood improved 1000% after he assured her that he still loves and trusts her.Alan, however, is not satisfied. He's packing his bags, ready to head back to Mountain Penthouse.J.J. enters the room and finds him stuffing the toys into a specific suitcase, “Hey, bro, why are you packing the parcheesi board?”“J.J., it's time for your brother to go back to the penthouse,” Alan responds seriously, but without being aggressive. These last few months, he really warmed to his stepbrother, “Don't worry, you're guaranteed your place in the company.”J.J. nods, not quite getting what the older brother said. Maybe he's still too young to understand... “I'm gonna miss you. Mommy won't let me visit the penthouse because of Cláudio.”“That cow will get what she deserves, little brother,” Alan promises with a fierce look.“What do you mean, ‘cow’?” J.J. scratches the
Building My Life Chapter 1922 The President Is Unable to Work
Josias appears in Alan's room with a furious and dissatisfied expression on his face, “ALAN! What's this about you leaving? Who authorized you? Did your mother call you?”Katherine is thrilled, “Honey, Alan knows what he's doing. Let him go.”“He won't while the pervert instructor works there!”Alan questions, “But dad, am I supposed to stay here while my little sister is alone up there in the penthouse with him?"Josias approaches him, “Caroline is with your mother and Kelvin. Alan, I'm afraid you want to face Mr. Guzman and he throws you off the balcony or drowns you in the pool and then claims it was an accident.”Alan smiles, “What is it, Dad? I stand up to Uncle Will because I know he's a wuss who won't fight back. But Mr. Guzman is different. I’ll be cautious.”Josias quells his anger and scratches the back of his head, “But why exactly do you want to leave, son?”Alan glares at Katherine, but it lasts for a few seconds. He looks back at his father, “I miss home and I don't inte

In the Teodoro building, Tiago, Carmen, Vera, and Teresa are waiting for Pedro and Rosemary to return.Beto walks into the lobby with his chest up, proud to have his puppies back.“Hello! We come back!”“YEAH!”Hugs and kisses everywhere. Teresa starts crying as if they were her children.Vera also wipes away tears, “Guys, how old I am! Rosemary was a little girl when I left Lagoon City... and I didn't even get to witness Pedro's birth! How old are you?”“I am ten and Rosemary is fourteen, the same age as Alan,” Pedro answers.“Actually I am a few months older than him,” Rosemary answers.Pedro turns to his father, “Where are we going to sleep, father?”“In our apartment! There's room for everyone.” Beto responds emotionally.Teresa nods, “Exactly. Let's settle down. We need to share the good news with others.”Tiago goes to the office, “I'll send everyone an email, it'll be faster!”Carmen points to the canteen, “We prepared some delicacies for you, let's go!”Rosemary and Pedro don'
Building My Life Chapter 1924 Rosemary and Pedro Are Back
Isabel, Wallace, and Reuben visit Teodoro's building to see Rosemary and Pedro. There's a little celebration going on in the canteen. The radio was taken there and Cher's song “Believe” enlivened those present.Some tenants who had met the children passed by to say hello and welcome them.Reuben yells like Uélton used to do, “Hello, everyone! Finally, I see you guys back!”Rosemary scratches her forehead, “Huh? Reuben, we saw each other last year at my dad and Tess's wedding.”“Ah, but the truth is that’s better we see each other every day, especially at school! Are you going to say that you didn't miss me? And you, Pedro?”“I can't wait to get back to a normal routine.” Pedro smiles gently.Vera brings another plate of snacks, “Here you go, kids. Wally! You came!”Wallace smiles and hugs Vera, “My mom got a very effusive email from Tiago. Wow, the kids have grown up.”Rosemary is amused by the adults' reactions. She doesn't feel like she's been away for so long.But when she sees Car

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
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

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—”
