Building My Life Chapter 2014 David Is Careless
João Paulo and Gabriela enter the former's office to work on the article. Gabriela is still smiling at what Josias said.“I didn't know you were so close to my brother.” João Paulo sits down, “You get along very well with Kate.”Gabriela suddenly tastes scarlet eggplant on her tongue, “What did you say?”“You are all smiles at Kate's recovery.” João Paulo comments while turning on the computer.Gabriela is forced to agree, “Yes, I want her to recover. Even though we hate each other, I know that Josias will grieve for her death. And J.J. doesn't deserve to lose his mother so soon.”João Paulo smiles in agreement, “I'm glad you have a good heart. Now let's leave Mrs. Marçal happy by producing the best article.”Gabriela pulls up another chair and sits next to him to work.******At Rocha Mansion, David smiles at Alan again.“Alan, glad you came. Wouldn't you find it interesting to see your mother dance with Carol and Rosemary?”“No, I don’t think!” Alan retorts sourly, “My mother is a r

But no mess!”Henrique and James already run to the table while the other children line up.“I miss Caio and João Paulo.” Caroline asserts.“Both are working now.” Rosemary explains, “It will soon be our turn.”“Rose, will you work with me at Maggiezine? Aunt Maggie promised me a job opening.” Caroline comments effusively.“Only if we do a journalism degree together.” Rosemary holds out the plastic plate and receives a slice of cake, “Thanks, Aunt Carmen.”“You welcome. And it's good advice, Rose. I'm sure Maggie won't deny you both a spot. João Paulo is already working there.”David once again chimes in by pretending no offense, “I thought he'd want

At Crystal Blue, Josias and Gabriela now have lunch together.Josias comments gallantly, “Gabriela, you didn't have to wait for my pasta to arrive so you could finish yours. Now your plate must be cold.”Gabriela doesn't mind the cold food at all, as her heart is warm, “Don't worry. I thought it would be impolite not to wait for you. So, Josias, how are things?”“You saw her, Kate woke up—”Gabriela interrupts Josias without realizing how rude she was, “I meant in general, how is your family, your company...?”“Oh, that.” Josias laughs, “Well, the company is doing spectacularly well; we have new projects for the year 2000. I’ll give an opening speech for the Uélton Freire building in Vila Velha...”“Oh, can I go?” Gabriela widens her eyes, “Maybe Maggie wants an article for the magazine.”“Yes, you can go.” Josias nods, “It will be a pleasure.”Gabriela smiles widely and raises her wineglass to toast.

The next day, Katherine is calmer and stronger in her hospital bed. Doctor Braggart drops by to visit and check on her situation.“Your vital signs are getting stronger and you are no longer life-threatening, Mrs. Rocha, congratulations.”Katherine jokes, “Looks like only my car was a total loss.”She laughs, but notices something strange, “Doctor, why can't I move my legs?”Gabriela was about to enter the room, but she stops and listens to the question. She widens her eyes.Doctor Braggart smiles kindly, “Your legs have been severely injured and we even thought about amputating one of them. Fortunately, that wasn't necessary. We managed to contain the bleeding, operated on the femur, and counted on their regeneration.”“But I'm not going to be paralyzed, am I?” Katherine's eyes widen.Doctor Braggart nods, “There's nothing to be afraid of, Mrs. Rocha. But if you want to be calmer, we can do some tests...”“Yes, I want to be more relaxed! Let's not waste time, doctor.”“OK, I’ll conta
Building My Life Chapter 2018 Teen Tension?
João Paulo enters Bernardo's office dangerously and closes the door with virility, glaring at Gabriela.“John, why are you so nervous?” Gabriela tries to hide it, but she feels shivers down her spine.“Do you really want to know?” João Paulo asks angrily, “Are you wanting to be attacked again? Haven't you learned your lesson yet?”Gabriela rolls her eyes, “Oh, that? No, if your sister-in-law is paralyzed, she won't be able to raise her hand to me without me hitting her first!”Bernardo tries to calm the situation, “My young people, don't fight. João Paulo, I was just saying to your colleague that the information still needs to be confirmed before being published.”“This is the basic we learn in college.” João Paulo continues to glare at Gabriela, “I count on the professionalism of Maggiezine and Marçal Publishing for this. Excuse me.”João Paulo turns on his heels and leaves with fury.Bernardo sighs in dismay at Gabriela's lack of wisdom. She lowers her head, aware that she made a mi
Building My Life Chapter 2019 My Father Doesn't Believe Me
At Marçal Publishing, Vernon tries to calm João Paulo who is walking in circles in the office.“How many memories I have of this old office... Son, you can't be shaken by this kind of situation.”“Dad, my colleague who was supposed to mentor me at the company was trying to harm Kate again!” João Paulo goes to the phone, “I need to tell Josias about this!”Vernon puts his big hand on the telephone set, preventing João Paulo from saying, “NO, son! Don't make your brother nervous about anything. He has a lot of priorities at the moment.”João Paulo takes a deep breath, “You are right. Josias is a very busy man, he doesn't have to worry about my grumbling.”“But son, remember that you don't have to be so faithful to Katherine.” Vernon advises him, “She's been a bubonic plague and she reaped what she sowed. We all thought that was going to be the end of her, but God, in his infinite mercy, sent Everaldo to let her live a little longer to repent of her sins.”“She will never regret it if pe
Building My Life Chapter 2020 We Found Our Model
Josias is back in his office. The desk phone rings and he answers it. “Hello?” On the other side, Gabriela tries to appease João Paulo's anger, “Hello, Josias. This is Gabriela.” Josias smiles, “Hello, Gabriela. How can I be of help? Does Maggiezine want an interview with me about my estimates for the year 2000?” “I want a nude shoot with you!” Gabriela doesn't dare voice her immoral desires out loud, “Actually, I wanted to know if João Paulo informed you about your wife.” “What about Kate?” Josias is on the alert. “Doctors are carrying out physical therapy tests on her to see if she will become paraplegic,” Gabriela explains cautiously. Josias widens his eyes, “Kate, paraplegic? No doctor informed me of this!” “Well, I was about to interview her, but Dr. Braggart was talking to her and there was this doubt. Your wife complained that she was unable to move her legs.” Josias frets, “Oh,

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, “

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

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—”
