Building My Life Chapter 2277 It's Better to Acknowledge
07:00 p.m., Crystal Blue.Cláudio was wearing a gray suit and matching tie, waiting at one of the tables for the partner of the night that will never come.He rushed to make the reservation as soon as he had ‘confirmation’ from Nadia. Daryl chose the best available table and even discounted the price of the grilled salmon.Now he was at the reception desk acting as maître d’. But to his surprise, Claudio’s lady still hasn’t shown up...Jacques and Ingrid walk in, talking excitedly.“Good evening, Mr. Mountain!” Jacques greets him, “Please arrange a table for two.”“We know you have free tables,” Ingrid says.Daryl is uncomfortable. Was Ingrid mocking the fact that the number of patrons had dropped because of the rumors? “Yes, we have vacant tables. Ehr...” Daryl lowers his voice, “I was waiting for Nadia Lafayette.”“Our
Building My Life Chapter 2278 Romance with the Right Guy
In Rodrigo’s apartment, he and Nadia are having the time of their lives, having a romantic dinner.Rodrigo wasn’t 100% sure that Nadia would accept the invitation, so he had to speed up certain preparations. For example, the song he picked up on the radio, “If Tomorrow Never Comes” by Ronan Keating, while beautiful, was not necessarily a message of love. He had also asked Isabel to help cook something Italian while she prepared her clothes.When Nadia arrived at the apartment wearing a beautiful dark green dress with an accentuated waist, she knocked on the door and was answered by an elegant Rodrigo in a black suit and gelled hair. He held out one hand, handing her a red rose with no thorns.“Awn, thanks.”“Welcome.” Rodrigo smiles at her and invites her inside.Now, dinner was winding down and the couple got to know each other better.“I would love to meet your sister.” Nadia says
Building My Life Chapter 2279 My Father Rules the City!
The next day, Josias is having breakfast with Alan.“Dad, I was elected the valedictorian of my high school graduation. Would I be able to deliver a good speech? I’m gonna ask Hector to write something nice for me.”Josias chokes on the latte he was drinking, “Cough, cough! What is it, son? No, don’t order any of that! Sit down at my desk and put your gray matter to work!”Alan is fearful, “I wouldn’t know how to tell my colleagues. Obviously, Principal Fernandez expects me to give a speech like the President of the Republic because I’m your son.”Josias smiles and strokes his head, “First you write, and then you pass the outline to me. I’ll help you with the details, but the central idea has to come from your head. Say what you hope for the future and motivate your colleagues to succeed in life.”“Would it be the same thing?” Alan wonders, “I’ll g
Building My Life Chapter 2280 Josias Catches Daryl
Daryl Mountain and Josias Rocha meet face-to-face after several weeks of avoiding confrontation. But something inside Daryl said it was better to settle this peacefully.“Daryl, thanks for coming.” Josias smiles and extends his hand to him, “I thought you weren’t serious.”“I’ve been speaking frankly.” Daryl shakes Josias’s hand, “We need to speak urgently, Josias.”“Sit down.” Josias points to an upholstered armchair for him.Daryl sits down. Josias sits facing each other. The armchairs were moved by him precisely for this meaningful conversation.Josias admired Daryl’s English-cut suit. He was also in a navy blue suit, thinking of leaving for work after talking to the owner of Crystal Blue.“Josias, I think you know why I came here.” Daryl starts.“I suggest you speak.” Josias smiles slightly.Daryl sighs. He will force
Building My Life Chapter 2281 Shoot!
At Rocha Mansion, the controversial chat between Daryl and Josias continues.Daryl was surprised by Josias mentioning some secret of his.“Josias... what secret are you talking about? And even if there was a secret, how did you find out about it?”Josias smirks, “His second question cancels out the first. You just confirmed that you do have a secret.”Daryl breaks into a sweat, “OK, what do you know about me?”Josias leans forward, “I know why you had to adopt Felipe.”Daryl starts to get puzzled, “Josias, have you been researching my heir?”“No, that’s not it.” Josias nods, “I managed to get in touch with Dr. Antenor, a former lab colleague of Dr. Silvana.”“OK!” Daryl gestures, “I got it! You figured it out, huh? And now you’re going to use that to keep me on a leash while you snatch Melissa away from my little br
Building My Life Chapter 2282 No War, No Friends
Josias gave permission and encouragement for Daryl to fire the pistol at him.“Come on, Daryl! You couldn’t get anyone to side with you in the war, that’s why you smartly came to ask for forgiveness. It wasn’t because you repented of your sins. You still think Melissa deserves to be with Kelvin. You still think you did the right thing by shoving Gabriela into my life. You still think Octavio is the enemy when the truth is the opposite. You just came thinking about getting rid of the blame. For that, I don’t forgive you and we’ll continue to be enemies. Satisfied? So, FIRE!”Daryl remains standing still, aiming, aiming......Until he decided to put the gun back in his pocket.“I better withdraw. We got nothing. But at least I tried.” Daryl gets up.Josias is disgusted, “What have you tried? Daryl, if you have nothing else to say, GET OUT OF HERE!”“Not before telling you
Building My Life Chapter 2283 Nadia Makes Her Choice
At Café Montanha, Daryl is irritated by the unusual result of the conversation he had with Josias. He approached the counter.“Can I get you some chamomile tea, Daryl?” Isabel asks gently.“Please, Isabel.” Daryl sits on the barstool, “I’m ruined.”Francisco is worried, “What happened?”“I visited Josias in an attempt to make amends.” Daryl responds, frowning.“Oh, what good news!” Francisco vibrates.“You assume that Josias accepted, eh, Uncle?” Daryl retorts bitterly.Rodrigo swallows hard, “He didn’t accept?”“No.” Daryl huffs, “He insists on getting Melissa back, no matter how much it hurts Kelvin and the twins.”Wallace chimes in, “Daryl, remember that Josias always loved Melissa, and she—”“And she loves my little brother!” Daryl punches the
Building My Life Chapter 2284 What’s the worst situation?
At Café Montanha, Daryl was already gone, calmer. Alan and Reuben were at the counter talking to Rodrigo. The radio plays “Stay Together to the Kids” by Blink 182.“Good thing the War was canceled.” Reuben rejoices, “See? Whoever said Uncle Josias was a bad guy didn’t know what he was saying.”“I also thank God for that.” Rodrigo smiles, “Still, all that talk made it easier for me to have my kitten.”“Wow, congrats, Rod!” Alan congratulates him, “Do we know who the lucky one is?”“Yes, Miss Lafayette.” Rodrigo advertises as a herald.As soon as he finishes pronouncing the last name, Cláudio enters the cafeteria.“But... are you already bragging about depraving my girl?”Alan and Reuben are startled by the outburst.Rodrigo gestures for the young people to move to the back of the counter, “Cláudio, what do you want now? Watch out, you’re in my territory.”Cláudio smirks, “Isn’t your territory the modeling agency, where do you take those indecent photos in Calvin Klein underwear?”Rodri

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

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—”
