Building My Life Chapter 2305 Melissa Explains to Maggie
Josias was at Rocha Constructions, imposing in his pinstripe suit, huddled in the conference room with Tiago, Alfred, and Octavio.“Guys, I called you and left Lorraine out because we need to touch on something that doesn’t concern the company.”“We’re listening, master.” Tiago sharpens his ear.“Since yesterday, Melissa showed up at my mansion, desperate, disheveled, and with the clothes on her back. No suitcases, and most interestingly, without the twins.”The gentlemen who hear such a bombshell gape in shock.Alfred is the first to break the silence, “But... But what happened?”Josias has a gloomy face as he answers, “Melissa overheard a conversation behind Kelvin where her husband complains to Daryl about everything that has gone wrong since 1999. It was evident to Melissa that everything they’d done, especially the opening of the franchise of Crystal Blue in Victoria, was just to get her away from me because she attempted to confess the truth to me about Gabriela and that whole f
Building My Life Chapter 2306 No Right to Complain
Maggie returns to Marçal Publishing. Bernardo and Diane are waiting for her in her office.“What’s up, dear?” Bernardo asks anxiously.“I’ll pass the message to Daryl.” Diane asserts.Maggie glares at Diane, “Sister-in-law, my brother has ruined everything. It’s entirely his fault, and there’s nothing we can do about it.”“OK, tell us what happened,” Bernardo asks.“Kelvin became stressed with managing the Crystal Blue franchise and took his frustrations out on Melissa.” Maggie summarizes the story, “There was one day Melissa overheard Kelvin complaining to Daryl about everything that happened. Melissa realized that opening up the franchise wasn’t about expanding Crystal Blue, but was solely about taking her away from Josias.”“And what did Kelvin say in his defense?” Diane asks.Maggie shakes her head, “There was no defense. Melissa left and took refuge at Rocha Mansion with the clothes on her back and without the twins.”Bernardo and Diane are stunned.“WHAT?” Diane barks, “So she r
Building My Life Chapter 2307 United Campos
Melissa was walking around the garden, admiring the peonies and azaleas. Alan was beside her, talking about the property.They stop by the spot where Josias and Katherine’s wedding was held.“I miss J.J., Mom.” Alan suddenly has a shaky voice, “He wasn’t supposed to die.”“No, son, it was never the case that he died, not even Kate, however much we hated her.” Melissa apologizes.Alan shakes his head, “You didn’t hate Kate, Mom. Those are things that Daryl and Kelvin put in your head. Before 1999, you never had any clashes with her. And if it were true that Kate was having an affair with Mr. Guzman, you wouldn’t have participated in this far-fetched plan.”“Yes, you’re right, I failed that part.” Melissa feels guilty, “That’s why I don’t understand why your father still wants me.”“I think deep down, the love he feels for you hasn’t died yet.” Alan smiles slightly, “And I feel like I can tell the same for you.”“Yes, you can say.” Melissa nods.She turns away and is amazed at what she
Building My Life Chapter 2308 If Daryl Is a Real Man…
Nadia enters Café Montanha with the sole objective of dating Rodrigo. But he is very preoccupied at the counter as he takes care of the establishment. The clientele is enjoying the coffee and snack options. The radio plays The Darkness’ song “I Believe in a Thing Called Love”.“Hello, my dear!” Nadia tries to hug and kiss Rodrigo.“Honey, today I ain’t in the mood.” Rodrigo dodges.Nadia smirks, “Manly men like you are always in the mood. Don’t you remember how we spent New Year’s Eve in your apartment?”Rodrigo blushes to the roots of his hair, afraid that the customers have heard, “Schi! Calm down, dear. I am going through a serious moment.”“And can you tell me what matter it is?” Nadia sits on the stool, “I’m your girlfriend. I’m here to help.”“Well, since you insist...” Rodrigo prepares a cappuccino for her, “Melissa is in town. But don’t tell everyone!”Nadia lowers her voice, “Rod, is Melissa your cousin, married to Kelvin, the ex-wife of Josias Rocha?”“It’s her. Apparently,
Building My Life Chapter 2309 Melissa States Her Terms
At Rocha Mansion, Daryl is waiting in the main living room, sitting on the couch because of his foot. He has a mysterious smile, thinking that he will convince Melissa to return to her husband.Daryl can barely hide his surprise when he sees Simeon enter the living room instead of Melissa.He’s torn between sitting still or getting up and running, “Ehr... Mr. Campos? I was hoping to speak with Melissa.”“What the hell, what right do you have to talk to my daughter?” Simeon blusters, “GET OUT of here, before Josias returns and starts the ethical cleanup here!”“What are you talking about?” Daryl is startled.“Do you want to bring about the extinction of the Mountain family here?” Simeon asks with his arms crossed.“No, and I doubt he could pull off such a feat without drawing the attention of the authorities,” Daryl responds confidently.“No one will miss you if Josias buries you alive in the beach sand.” Simeon asserts, “Now get out of here because you won’t talk to my daughter. How d

Days later, Francisco and Isabel returned to Lagoon City.At Café Montanha, Rodrigo and Nadia were making out on the counter when he received a call on his cell phone.“Wait, honey, I need to get it.” Rodrigo walks away.While Nadia waits, Cláudio enters the cafeteria and smiles maliciously when he sees her back.“I would recognize you from anywhere.” Claudio jokes.Nadia is startled and turns to him, “How would you recognize me from the back? Have you been memorizing the details of my butt?”Cláudio was about to confirm it rudely, but Rodrigo approached them again.“Nadia, I... Argh, what are you doing here?”“Aren’t you going to sell me a cappuccino?” Claudio asks ironically.“I don’t feel like it, but who am I to suppress the free trade law?” Rodrigo turns to Nadia, “My father and Isabel have arrived and need a ride.”Reuben appears in the cafeteria, “Rod, Grandma said to me hold the fort while you get her.”“Yes, Imma going there.” He smiles at Nadia, “The twins came.”Nadia isn’t
Building My Life Chapter 2311 Josias Gives One More Chance
In the Teodoro Building, Tiago appeared to say goodbye to the Reis family. Beto reacted with surprise when he discovered that another dear friend was leaving.“God, everyone is leaving Lagoon City!” He jokes, “Why doesn’t anyone else want to stay here?”“The city got boring.” Pedro jokes, causing the others to laugh.Tiago explains, “James was run over and Carmen is desperate, alone in the capital. I need to be there with them. I need to be with my family.”Wallace narrows his eyes, “Tiago, Carmen moved to Victoria because of the war between Josias and Daryl that ended up not happening. From what’s been rumored around, it looks like things are going to heat up between them again. Is this when you intend to leave?”Tiago nods, “Josias assured me he would be fine. But to be on the safe side, I’ll keep a few ‘boys’ to keep an eye on my master. And you won’t be helpless either.”Teresa and Vera look at each other, always feeling something creepy when Tiago talks about these ‘boys’.“Okay,
Building My Life Chapter 2312 Who Was the Anonymous Sender?
In Daryl’s office at Crystal Blue, Daryl is taken aback by Josias’s proposal.“Are you serious, Josias? First, you symbolically kidnap my sister-in-law, and after my brother has suffered hell, you decide to ‘give her back’, but not without demanding something first?”Josias stares at Daryl seriously, “I didn’t kidnap Melissa. She showed up at my mansion of her own free will. And another thing, Daryl: you know this Victoria franchise was a mistake. I don’t know all the details, but I do know that Kelvin and Melissa’s marriage has been affected. Kelvin wasn’t prepared to take over a restaurant all to himself. He neglected Caroline, and would likely neglect the twins when they need a father figure at the time. So if Kelvin goes back to Lagoon City, goes back to his old job, and goes back to being the kind guy I knew... Then I would be willing to let Melissa go back to him if she wants to.”Daryl faces Josias with the precision of a surgeon. He is surprised, “You are quite serious...”“Ye

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

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
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—”
