Moments later, Daryl returns to Crystal Blue covered in sand. William tells Tiago’s ‘boys’ to dispose of Daryl like garbage at the back of the restaurant, near the container where Felipe usually looks for something disgusting to eat.“OUCH!” Daryl exclaims in pain.After they leave, Patrick gets out of the restaurant with garbage bags containing leftover food. He is startled to find Daryl on the ground.“Boss! Mr. Mountain, what happened?”“I was temporarily kidnapped, that’s what happened!” Daryl tries to get up.Patrick enters the restaurant. Seconds later, he returns with Felipe and another burly cook.“FATHER! What happened? You went out to pay some bills and came back like this! Mom was worried!”“No! Don’t tell your mother. You guys better take me to the penthouse. Pietro, can you drive?”“Yes, Mr. Mountain.” The burly cook answered.“Then come on, take me to my car. Son, don’t worry.”“No, I’ll go with you, Dad. Pat will come up with something to justify my absence.”Patrick is
Building My Life Chapter 2317 New Investigation
Daryl shows up at the police station. Ivan welcomes him with effusiveness.“Mr. Mountain! It’s a great pleasure to welcome you to my office.”“How is your son, Sergeant?”“Growing up, as it should. Now he can’t stop talking about ‘suspects’ and ‘search and seizure’.”Daryl is still under the impression that Ivan is trolling him, but decides to stay on topic, “Call Amoreira. We need a thorough investigation into an urgent matter.”Amoreira, as if he had heard Daryl’s request, enters Ivan’s office with a copy of Maggiezine in hand, “Ivan, you won’t believe...”“WHAT?” Daryl is shocked, “Is the brilliant detective Amoreira wasting his time reading the summaries of the soaps in my sister’s magazine?”Amoreira quickly straightens up, “Hey, Mr. Mountain, you should know that your sister only produces quality entertainment. Besides, you know my vision: these magazines let me know the people I end up working with. And I imagine you’re here to deal with such a matter, correct?”Daryl shuts up
Building My Life Chapter 2318 Party at the Lafayette’s
At night, the Lafayette Mansion was lit up more than usual.Jacques Lafayette threw a party to bring Lagoon City society closer to him and his family.At the entrance and in the foyer, guests were in awe of the renovated mansion. The white and immaculate floor and the staircase divided in two that gave access to the second floor left some with their jaws dropping. Just above the stairs, the chandelier was so huge that Reuben wondered how anyone managed to hang it from the ceiling.Alan jokes, “Probably Mr. Lafayette asked some Nephilim.”Reuben is dumbfounded. Would it be possible?Maggie and Bernardo brought a team from Maggiezine to record the moment. Videographers and photographers spread out in strategic positions to work professionally.Jacques appeared in his black tuxedo with a bow tie, “Gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. Marçal... What a pleasure to welcome you. Oh, I see you brought your team...”“As per our arrangement.” Bernardo winks at him.“Oh, what a beautiful son of yours.” Jacqu
Building My Life Chapter 2319 Sofia Vasquez
Alan was stunned by the beauty of Sofia Vasquez.The girl, the same age as the heir to Rocha Constructions, had an Iberian appearance, but one could tell that she could still develop her beauty when she reached the age of majority.The party dress was rosy and graceful. Mr. Vasquez smiled and wrapped her in his protective arm.“Are you enjoying the party, my little girl?”“A lot, Dad. Thank you for inviting me.”“This is Alan Campos Rocha, the future heir to Rocha Constructions.”Sofia looks at Alan with respect and admiration. Her voice is kind and polite, “Pleased to meet you, Mr. Rocha.”“The pleasure is all mine, Miss Vasquez.” Alan shakes her mimosa hand.Reuben and Pedro look at the scene from afar and are amazed.“Wow, our friend Alan is talking to Lagoon City bigwigs!” Reuben lifts a glass of guarana, passing it as champagne, “Let’s toast!”Pedro takes another glass and toasts, “To our friend and partner Alan Campos Rocha!”Henrique arrives late, “Hey, wait for me, I want to t

The next day, Josias is having breakfast with his family in the dining room. Mary asks, “Mummy, when are we going home?” Melissa smiles patiently, “We’re not going back to Victoria. We’re going to live here now with Josias and Alan.” “What about Daddy?” “Dad will stay in Victoria, taking care of the restaurant.” “OK.” Mary smiles as she chooses pancakes with lots of caramel. “I like this house, Mr. Rocha,” Ignacio speaks respectfully. “You can call me Josias, Ignacio.” Josias comments kindly. “Ignacio’s nickname is ‘Nacho’, right?” Alan asks between giggles. Ignacio shrugs, not knowing how to respond. It’s a fact that many are calling him that. Josias turns to Alan, “Son, how was the party yesterday? Did you have fun?” Alan smiles wryly, “I think the question you want to ask is, have I behaved decently? Yes, Father, I managed to hold Reuben and Pedro.” Melissa winks, “The question was if YOU behaved, son. We aren’t talking about Pedro or Reuben.” Alan sighs, “Well... I met

At Lafayette Mansion, Ingrid has just left Nadia’s bedroom, wondering why she wasn’t there with Rodrigo. Did they go elsewhere?Ingrid then remembered that there were some guest rooms over to the corner of her residence. She smiles, thinking that Nadia is in one of them so far being loved and possessed by her boyfriend without mercy.Calm, she goes down to the dining room and finds her husband and son talking about the party.“We did it, son!” Jacques exclaims excitedly, “We managed to get close to the elite of Lagoon City. Now, our prestige in the city will increase. I want to thank you for that.”“What did I have to do with it?” A confused Thierry asks.Ingrid replies, sitting down at the table, “You appeared before everyone as a decent young man, without a beggar’s beard, without disheveled hair, and your tuxedo was clean. Your mother was proud. And I still want to see how the photographs turned out.”Thierry blushes to the roots of his hair, “You don’t need to see my pictures. The

At Rocha Mansion, Melissa is being guided by a female lawyer sent by Damascene Lawyers to handle the divorce proceedings between her and Kelvin.“Read all the documentation, Mrs. Rocha.” The lawyer advises her, “If you want to change any clause, I will be willing to comply with it.”Melissa reads carefully. According to the document, Melissa says she does not want a penny of child support for herself or the twins and agrees to collaborate so that Kelvin and the twins have a normal life together.“It’s all I need.” Melissa nods, “You represented me pretty well.”“OK. We’ll send the documentation by express mail to Mr. Mountain to sign. Thus, you carry out the process without much headache.”“Yes, I don’t want to demand anything or make things difficult. In fact, I recognize that I was the one who left home.” Melissa nods.Hector appears in the living room, “Mrs. Rocha, you have visitors. Mrs. Queiroz and Mrs. Motta.”“Oh, send them in, Hector.”The lawyer rises from the sofa, “I must g

At Café Montanha, Francisco decided to call his son at Isabel’s request. She was worried, but he knew where Rodrigo was...To the sound of Madonna’s song “American Life”, Francisco takes his cell phone and dials his son’s number.On the other side, in Rodrigo’s apartment, he was sprawled out on the bed, with only a sheet covering him from the waist down, and he could have slept until the next year if it weren’t for the cell phone ringing at the head of the bed.“Argh...” He mutters. After spending a sleepless night in amorous activity with Nadia, shouldn’t he rest now?But seeing that it was his father, Rodrigo decided to answer, “Hello?”“Son, I know you won’t be able to work today.” Francisco cuts to the chase, “I’m just calling to calm your stepmother’s heart.”“Tell Isabel I survived. And it’s good to set the wedding date before you become grandparents too soon.” Rodrigo speaks with a malicious smile.“She’s already been phoning the Green Park Church checking vacant dates.” Franci

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

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

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—”
