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

On the day of the next issue of Maggiezine, all readers bought their copy or had a copy delivered to their homes by mail.And the reading was graceful and interesting, especially concerning Isabel Freire's autograph session.However, when avid readers reached the gossip column...******Isabel was in her room putting on red lipstick. The grape-colored dress fit her perfectly, and the high heels were in the living room, waiting to be put on.The landline rang vigorously while Isabel put on her makeup. She expected them to give up...Reuben answered, wearing his school uniform, “Hello?”On the other end, Carmen is on the line, “Good morning, Reuben. Can I speak to your grandmother?”“She's getting really pretty for the book signing. Are you going too?”“For sure.” Carmen giggles, “When she can talk...”Isabel appears in the living room, “Who is it, Reuben?”“Mrs. Bento.” Reuben passes the mouthpiece to Isabel.Isabel answers, “Carmen, how are you?”Carmen changes her voice from motherly
Building My Life Chapter 1926 Celebrating Revenge
Katherine is horrified when she reads the Maggiezine article in one of the living rooms. She quickly yells at one of the maids.“Did you call me, madam?”“Cremate this damn magazine immediately!” she orders nervously."Yes ma'am." The maid picks up the magazine as if it were full of maggots.Katherine is wide-eyed, sweating, and breathing hard. This cannot happen! I knew I was photographed, but if I knew it was someone from Maggiezine... why would those bastards do this to me?Katherine then has a flash of intelligence. She smiles as she remembers the rumor that Octavio wanted to bar Daryl Mountain from his wedding, even though his cousin was marrying Jack in the same ceremony. Josias was the one who stopped this madness. And Josias had told her, days before, about Daryl repeating what she'd told Melissa and Kelvin about Alan having the throne threatened...“It's the damned Mountains, it had to be! And in their midst... MELISSA!”Katherine takes an expensive vase and throws it into th

At the Marçal bookstore, Isabel was visibly upset by the question of the journalist that couldn't be more than twenty-five. Is he still an intern or apprentice to Vernon?“Young man, I don't want to discuss this unpleasant matter.”“Do you think the swimming instructor is innocent or guilty?” He insists as if he didn't hear what Isabel said.Francisco tries to push the journalist, “Comrade, move away or ask questions concerning the autograph session. We don't want to get involved in other people's affairs.”“But you are practically the family!” The journalist tries to convince them, “Mr. Mountain, you are Melissa Campos's current husband's uncle. Surely you—”The door opens and Bernardo and Maggie enter.“Is everything okay here, guys?”“Bernie, get rid of this abusive journalist!” Isabel demands, “He doesn't want to ask about my books or my family; he only came to reap more controversial statements about Josias and Kate!”Maggie takes the lead, “Young man, I suggest you stick to what
Building My Life Chapter 1928 Session of Confusion
Isabel's autograph session began. Security guards and store inspectors had to control the flow of fans so they wouldn't crowd like wild animals at the famous writer's table.Some had already bought the book but wanted to buy another one just to have Isabel Freire's valuable autograph. Who knows, in the future, this copy may be sold for a more appreciated value...Francisco being on Isabel's side scared away men between 50 and 60 years old who were romantically interested in her. Isabel never showed her age and was considered a 'hot grandma' by them.“Honey, why do readers break their smiles when it's their turn?”Francisco smiles from the corner of his mouth, “It's not because they see you, honey, it's because they see ME. Smarties...”“Your girlfriend is famous and coveted by senior males. Can you handle it, honey?” Isabel asks playfully.“Of course!” Francisco responds good-naturedly, “At the end of the day, I'm the one with you...”Isabel melts like sugar. The next reader appears a

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,
