Building My Life Chapter 2332 Another Member of the Freire Family
Beto and Wallace return to the Teodoro Building. They are greeted by the song “Here Without You” by Three Doors Down.Teresa and Vera were waiting for the gentlemen.“Darling, so glad you’re back from the journey!” Teresa hugs Beto, “How is Josias? Well? OK? So and so?”“He’s fine, surprised by the vandalism.” Beto responds, stroking his wife’s hair, “He didn’t know what happened at the restaurant.”Vera points to the radio, “Well, we heard Josias’s statement on the radio station. In fact, the fan base overreacted.”Wallace comments, “That’ll end up encouraging people to heat up the war between the families.”“Oh, I hope that doesn’t happen.” Vera crosses her fingers, “May we all live in peace.”“Where are Pedro and Maycon?” Beto asks.“Where else? Playing the video game as usual.” Teresa laughs, pleased by the change of subject.Beto kisses her cheek and goes to the apartment to see the children.Wallace and Vera walk to their apartment, when suddenly...“Wally...” Vera freezes her s
Building My Life Chapter 2333 Is Elton a Singer?
At General Hospital, Josias notices that Melissa is not behaving like someone who is anxious to see a friend giving birth to her child. Melissa was somber and distant, while Simeon and Dora chatted animatedly.“A pity that Teodoro couldn’t see his daughter giving him another grandchild,” Simeon comments.“Darling, even if Teodoro didn’t have the cardiac arrest in 1985, he would be dead today... He was already sixty-five.”“But he could have seen Rosemary and Pedro at least.” Simeon insists.“Well, that’s true.” Dora sees Josias, “Hello, Josias! Here we are. William and Caio had to go home because of the pizzeria. Alan stayed with the twins, and it looks like Pedro and Maycon went to see them.”“Hi, everyone. Glad Wallace is finally having his baby. A little late, I guess...”Melissa does the math, “Wally’s forty-three, but he’s still handsome. No one will think of him as a late father. He’ll probably look younger when he shows up with his son in his arms.”Josias smiles playfully, “Wo

Days later, with Vera recovered and Elton going home, Maggie provided the cover story for Maggiezine. As agreed, the photo was taken in Wallace’s apartment, but no one realized that it was a Happiness Slum residence, due to the care that Rocha Constructions had in rebuilding the Teodoro building.That edition and the edition that showed Josias and Melissa on the cover, announcing the return of the Rocha couple, proved to be the best-selling editions of 2003.Access to the same news on the website also skyrocketed. Young people who did not have the money or desire to subscribe to the magazine looked for information on the Internet and shared it with their friends of the same age.Meanwhile, Daryl and Diane felt left out again. They wanted to visit Vera to congratulate her and meet Elton, but her apartment was always full of Josias’s relatives and friends.Until, one fine day, they took courage. Upon reading yet another article about them in the LCN newspaper, Daryl threw the newspaper
Building My Life Chapter 2335 Visiting Happiness Slum
Daryl, Diane, and Felipe set foot in the lobby of the Teodoro building and bumped into Patrick.“PAT!” Daryl flashed the fakest smile ever, “Hello! Have a nice day.”Patrick was startled by his boss’s exaggerated greeting, “Sir... Mr. Mountain? What are you doing here?”“What do you mean?” Diane smirks, “We came to see our second cousin, Elton.”“I didn’t know he was your relative.” Patrick narrows his eyes.Felipe explains, “Well, Wallace Freire is the son of Isabel Freire who is married to my uncle Francisco. Symbolically, he is our relative, just as we accept Isabel and Wallace.”Patrick smirks, “You can include yourself in that too, my pal.”Daryl and Diane look at each other, witnessing from the front row how Patrick always takes the opportunity to make fun of their adopted son.Beto appears in the lobby. The radio is playing “Crazy in Love” by Beyoncé & Jay-Z.“Good morning, Mountain family! Have you come to visit your symbolic cousin?”Daryl smiles at Patrick, “See? Even Beto r
Building My Life Chapter 2336 Accident with Bernie
As soon as the Mountain family left, Wallace locked the door and ripped all the clothes off his body again. Vera laughs.“Today you don’t want to get formal, huh?”Wallace shrugs, “No, it’s hot today. Do you want me to turn the fan on for you?”“Don’t put it too strong. I don’t want to risk Elton catching a cold.” Vera tenderly looks at her son.Wallace thus turns on the fan, “You know, Patrick came by, but he didn’t tell me what he wanted, and he left without answering.”“That was really weird.” Vera frowns, “He saw his bosses here and was embarrassed?”“Looks like he was late.” Wallace chuckles, “But he got weird saying that only Daryl and Diane were his bosses. He said that by the time Felipe’s turn comes around, he’ll already be at a better job.”Vera saw no strangeness in the phrase, “Every man wants a better job.”“But he said, I don’t know... As if he had something against Felipe. Did they fight?” Wallace scratches his chin.Vera shrugs. She is only interested in taking care of
Building My Life Chapter 2337 I Was Invited
Bernardo was resting in a hospital bed. He only had light cuts on his arm and didn’t even need to put on a hospital gown.Maggie enters his room, worried.“Is it visiting hours yet?” Bernardo asks playfully.“You stop with those jokes.” Maggie asks, “Thank God you didn’t get worse than those scratches.”“Don’t worry, honey, I’m fine.”“For sure?” Maggie crosses her arms, “So tell me what’s going on? Why did you have trouble seeing the light?”“I don’t even know if ‘trouble’ is the right word, my love.” Bernardo justifies himself.Maggie sits patiently beside him on the bed, “Bernie, Sergeant Ivan says Dr. Braggart is going to refer you to an ophthalmologist. He says you complained a few days ago that you couldn’t see properly.”Bernardo drops the smile and nods, “That’s right, honey. I’m getting worried. It started when Elton was born. I was putting together the puzzle with Henrique when I realized I was getting most of the pieces wrong. I couldn’t check and put pieces that obviously
Building My Life Chapter 2338 Let’s Settle Like Men
Josias visits Bernardo at his apartment. As the case was quickly resolved, he was discharged.In Bernardo’s apartment, he is in an armchair, with a blanket over his legs, being watched by Maggie and Henrique.“Do you want the radio on, honey, or the TV?” Maggie asks, very helpful.Bernardo laughs, “Don’t make me get used to that, huh?”“We just want to help you, my love.” Maggie kisses him on the cheek.Josias chuckles, “Bernie, you’re being well taken care of.”Bernardo turns to Josias, “Thanks for coming, Josias. And Melissa?”“She’s at the mansion. My son wanted to have a little party for his friends. He invited everyone... Henrique, shouldn’t you be at the party?”“I want to stay and take care of my father, Mr. Rocha,” Henrique responds with a smile like a well-behaved boy.Josias smiles, but he’s still not over the ‘Mr. Rocha’. When will Henrique call him ‘Uncle Josias’, like the others?Maggie turns on the radio and Hillary Duff’s song “So Yesterday” fills the apartment.“I’m go
Building My Life Chapter 2339 Encounter in the Penthouse
At Pizzeria Campos, William answers the call, “Hello?”On the other side, in Crystal Blue, Daryl is feeling like a king at his desk, “Hello, Will. Long time no see.”“Daryl?” William frowns.“Don’t make too much of a fuss, don’t let your parents find out. I need to talk to you tomorrow at my penthouse.” Daryl speaks with an evil smile.“In the penthouse that belonged to my brother-in-law?” William teases.“If you were a true person, you wouldn’t be calling Josias brother-in-law. You always hated him. Melissa told us how boring you were in the ‘80s.”“I changed when Josias helped me. I’m not ungrateful. And if I hated Josias in the ‘90s, it was because he cheated on my sister with two scoundrels. Did I have no reason?”“At least with one of them, it was a drinking accident, but you’ve always treated it as if Josias deliberately wanted to sleep with Angela. Anyway, let’s talk about your constant change of heart about Josias tomorrow.”“Are you out of your mind, man—” William realized th

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

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—”
