Building My Life Chapter 1959 Caio Wants To Help
Gabriela is outraged by Josias's proposal. She expected him to declare himself and admit his 'love' for her, or to declare his divorce from Katherine... But he asked the classic 'how much do you want' question!She gets up in offense, “You really are one of those big shots who think they can solve everything with money, huh? If I ask you for a million bucks, would you pay me?”“I would pay you to shut your mouth and stop pestering my wife. That would be a fair reward for the aggression she gave you. She might even admit to Maggiezine that she messed up. However, you also have to admit that you teased my wife about being in love with the swimming instructor.”Gabriela glares at Josias, “Listen well, my lord: I didn't say that your wife cheated on you with him. I didn’t say that your wife had sexual intercourse with him. I just insinuated that she had a crush because Mr. Guzman is indeed an attractive guy. If your wife freaked out and tried to kill me for it, it's because I spoke the tr
Building My Life Chapter 1960 A Dangerous Interview
At Marçal Publishing, Maggie receives a call from a furious Gabriela, “Hello?”“Maggie, we have problems!” Gabriela exclaims, “Josias Rocha didn’t fall in love with me!”Maggie is shocked, “But what happened? Didn't you wear the nightgown?”“Yes, I have been wearing the nightgown, but he is determined to tell everyone that I deserved to be beaten due to the article!” Gabriela sits on the sofa huffing.“How absurd!” Maggie narrows her eyes, “He wants both Kate and you to own up to their mistake?”“Yes, but I told him what I think to his face.” Gabriela smirks, “I told him that if Kate freaked out over what I hinted at, it's because I unknowingly spoke the truth: she got aroused by Mr. Guzman and is now trying to pose as a faithful and loyal wife by accusing the poor guy of being flirtatious!”Maggie is uneasy, “Oh, Gabi, I don't know if that was a smart move.”“He'll get that in his head and mull it over.” Gabriela responds confidently, “And he looked so sexy in that Italian-cut suit..
Building My Life Chapter 1961 Reaping the Truth
The next day, Katherine woke up and stretched slowly on the bed in the master suite. But when she opened her eyes wide......Josias was staring at her, already in his black pinstripe suit.“Honey, what happened?” she asks in a sleepy voice.“Kate, I think it's about time we stopped.”Katherine seems to have become more attentive as she leans against the headboard, “Huh? Stop with what?”“Stop the show we are making.” Josias sits on the bed, “I know very well that there was no harassment. You were temporarily attracted to Cláudio Guzman and begged me not to fire him. When I left the matter in your hands, you thought better of it and dismissed him, but for fear that I might misunderstand you, you made the whole story up.”Katherine is stunned by Josias revealing almost the whole truth, except for a few details...******At Vernon's house, he has just played the tape for Elza. She can no longer eat her breakfast and gets up to throw her plate of toast in the sink.“This is outrageous! Th
Building My Life Chapter 1962 A Familiar Environment
Josias corners Katherine in one of the bedroom walls. Her action was virile and truculent, and Katherine's back hit the wall, hurting her.“OUCH! Josias, you're hurting me...”“Don't you think it hurts me to see you getting involved in scandal and confusion when everything could be resolved by telling the truth?” Josias asserts fiercely.Katherine struggles in vain, “Stop it! I already told the truth! Cláudio Guzman is a pervert and I was a fool to defend him!”“On that, we agree!” Josias retorts with gnashed teeth, “I wanted to fire him in my way, but you wouldn't listen and pestered me for days. Now you're the one who goes around posing as more offended than I am. Why?”Katherine feels tears in her eyes, “It's because... I felt like crap...”“After he sexually abused you? You said nothing extreme happened! Why did you act worse than a wild animal toward Gabriela Alves? She's going to sue you and I couldn't reverse it!”“We're going to sue her for the article, honey, we're going to g
Building My Life Chapter 1963 Who Do We Really Support
Daryl is outraged by Katherine's audacity to subpoena Cláudio, “My friend, this cannot be happening! Many people I know believe that this is all a hoax! You cannot let this woman ruin your reputation!”Cláudio smiles satisfied, “I thought the whole town would support Josias Rocha.”“We support JOSIAS ROCHA, that is the question!” Daryl passionately states, “We disavow anyone who causes him problems, like Will Campos, and now, the wife who isn’t looking to me as worthy of carrying the last name.”“What a troublemaker.” Claudio begins to read the subpoena, “OK, since she wants to be humiliated in public, so be it. Yesterday I gave my statement to Vernon Queiroz, he probably already covered everything in today's article.”Suddenly, Ivan and Amoreira catch up with him.“No, he hasn’t published it yet, which is good.” Ivan retorts.Daryl and Cláudio are shocked.“Mr. Amoreira, Sergeant Moraes.” Daryl greets them, “Good morning. We were talking about...”Ivan's gaze goes straight to the doc
Building My Life Chapter 1964 It's Time to Retreat
Amoreira and Ivan talk to Cláudio in his apartment. The place is the typical single man's apartment: messy, untidy, no floors swept, dirty dishes, and grimy clothes scattered everywhere.Ivan feels contaminated when he sits on the sofa. He could visualize a mouse running through the dirt, “Mr. Guzman, tell us what you told Mr. Queiroz.”Claudio smiles confidently, “There's not much to say. I just expressed my point of view on all this: Mrs. Rocha is trying to hide from her husband that she had a crush on me. She was jealous when she found out that I used to date girls on the beach at Sunset Village.”Ivan makes a long face, “Josias Rocha has already explained to us what this ‘dating’ consists of. Mr. Guzman, you should be arrested for this, but we're going to let it go this time because you're being accused of worse.”Amoreira reads the subpoena, “The whole thing is quite absurd.”Ivan continues, “Mrs. Rocha gave her testimony in great detail. Your version totally contradicts hers, so
Building My Life Chapter 1965 Nervous Breakdown
Josias is desperate when he hears the secretary's information, “What did you say, Pollyanna? Kate had a stroke? She's too young for that!”“I don't know, sir, I just know that she fainted just like people do when they have this health problem! She was pretty stressed and asked me for an aspirin, but when I barely came in...”“OK, I'm going to the hospital now!” Josias turns off the cell phone.Bernardo, Maggie, and Vernon are astonished to the fullest.“Son...” Vernon tries to ask, “Is it serious?”“I'll see, Dad! Pass the message on to them!” Josias rushes to the hospital.Bernardo turns to Vernon, “What did he mean?”Vernon gulps, “He asked us to hold the bomb. It looks like he wants to try one more time to resolve this mess without involving the courts.”Maggie complains, “Then he shouldn't have let his wife carry on with this nonsense and issue subpoenas. I hope she recovers and reconsiders her actions.”“I better go with him.” Vernon also dashes for the hospital.Maggie closes th
Building My Life Chapter 1966 Josias, Best Actor
At Crystal Blue, Vernon and Bernardo talk about the unexpected turn of events. They're at the bar, and Diane is making their drinks.“I had to withhold Mr. Guzman.” Vernon explains as if he had heard William's complaint, “I couldn't just publish while my son is suffering in the hospital. I don't want to win over a tragedy.”“Here, gentlemen.” Diane hands them glasses, “That was a very noble decision, Mr. Queiroz.”Daryl approaches them, “Now let's hope Kate recovers and backs off from trying to sue everyone, right? I mean, it was because she couldn't handle the pressure that she passed out, right?”Bernardo replies solemnly, “The doctors ruled out a stroke, which is just as well.”“So let's get positive thoughts.” Daryl gestures and winks at Diane.The door opens and Claudio enters. He finds Vernon and strides over to him, “Hey, Mr. Queiroz! Weren't you going to publish my testimony about Kate Rocha today?”Bernardo does 'pff' and spits out the sip due to the scare he took.Vernon wid

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—”
