Building My Life Chapter 2368 Heedless of Danger
At Vaztrans, Olivia kicks her husband in the leg.“OUCH!” Erasmo yells, trying not to let go of the mouthpiece of the phone, “Are you completely insane, woman?”Olivia whispers desperately, “You just called João Paulo Rocha Josias’s ‘half-brother’! Cut the ‘half’, they are BROTHERS!”Erasmo, however, rolls his eyes in impatience. He tries to resume the conversation, “Mr. Queiroz—”João Paulo has a voice louder than thunder, “Mr. Vasquez, did they ever tell you what happens to people who call me Josias’s ‘half-brother’?”Erasmo continues unabated, “I don’t believe these reports that people are buried alive in the beach sand because of this simple difference.”João Paulo is more intrigued, “You aren’t afraid of dying, as seen!”Erasmo hardens his voice, “Young man, did you hear me that we’re going to participate in the beach fashion show? Put this in your mediocre newspaper, and stop denigrating my company, you hear me?”“It’s not just beachwear—”Erasmo hung up on João Paulo. Olivia is
Building My Life Chapter 2369 What the People Decide
The next day, Josias is walking into his office, still laughing at the revenge he has wrought on Kelvin. Pollyanna finds him and thinks Josias is laughing about other things.“Yes, Mr. Rocha, preparations for the fashion show are in full swing. I’m convincing my whole family to buy a ticket.”“Well done, Pollyanna.” Josias cleverly disguises it, “Any messages?”“Someone is waiting in the attached lounge. Nadia Lafayette.”Josias raises his eyebrows. This is an interesting and unprecedented visit.“Show her to my office, Pollyanna.”“Yes, sir.”Josias enters his office. As always, the air conditioning already left the room pleasantly cool, Pollyanna’s feat. He goes to the drinks table to prepare a drink for the visitor.Nadia enters the office through the side door, just as Thierry did, “Good morning, Mr. Rocha. I hope I’m not bothering you too soon.”“No, you’re not bothering me at all, Miss Lafayette.” Josias points to the glasses, “Do you want a drink?”“I think it’s still too early

In Crystal Blue, Daryl is in his office looking at what he needs to buy for his restaurant.“Well, we still have salmon. I can never stop missing it, otherwise, I’d go bankrupt, he, he.”Suddenly, Daryl received an email from Kelvin.“Hmm... How is my little brother? Has he met another girl and wants to tell me?”Daryl opens the email and reads it. Then he gets mad...On the other side, Josias is at his desk. Nadia is gone, a little dizzy from the brandy.The desk phone rings and he answers, “Yes?”“Mr. Rocha, Miss Lafayette managed to get into the taxi to return to the supermarket safely.” Pollyanna reports efficiently, “And now, Mr. Mountain needs to speak with you... Mr. Daryl Mountain.”Josias smiles broadly, “Put the call through, Pollyanna.”Pollyanna doesn’t understand Josias’s good humor but transfers the connection.On the other side, Josias’s eardrums are almost pierced by Daryl’s high-pitched voice, “JOSIAS, you pervert! How dare you?”Josias tries to hold back the giggles,
Building My Life Chapter 2371 Would You Like to Be Alan’s Girlfriend?
Daryl keeps upset in his office after the argument he had with Josias. He sent an email to Kelvin asking for explanations about the letter he sent to Melissa.But Kelvin still hasn’t answered nor admitted that he sent such a lewd letter to Melissa...Without the answer, Daryl continued to believe that Josias made it all up to mock his younger brother.“While my little brother is suffering in Victoria... The other one can’t leave him alone and has to rub his victory in Kelvin’s face. If my brother commits suicide... You’ll be finished, Josias!”Daryl punches the desk.At this moment, Diane opens the door, startled by her husband’s reaction, “Oops! Bad time?”“What is it, dear?” Daryl asks, watching Diane’s panicked facial expression.“Darling, Miss Vasquez entered the restaurant fleeing a horde of angry passengers. Can she stay here at the back of the restaurant for a while until they leave?”Daryl has a better idea. With a smirk, he replies, “Send her over here. No one will dare to br

Sofia is stunned by Daryl’s nonsensical question. Has this guy gone crazy?“Mr. Mountain, I think your grilled salmon was off.” She says looking at the door.“No, Miss Vasquez. The salmon I serve is always fresh and healthy.” Daryl smiles proudly.“Then I better go—”Sofia starts to run, but Daryl senses it and catches up with her, grabbing her by her waist, “Oh, oh, oh! None of that, you will stay here!”“LET ME GO, YOU CRAZY!” Sofia screams desperately. What is happening?“Crazy, me?” Daryl shakes her off, “Am I crazy to envision a romance between you and Alan Rocha? Isn’t that what you want?”“Who are you to speak on my behalf?” Sofia screams in Daryl’s face, making him smell her minty breath.“I know very well what is going on!” Daryl aggressively releases Sofia and she almost falls, “Vaztrans didn’t appear in the article about the neglect of public transport written by João Paulo. And now, you’re running from riders of your Dad’s buses. I can only conclude that things are not goi
Building My Life Chapter 2373 A Bitter Advice
The day of the Lagoon City fashion show approaches. At Marçal Publishing, Maggie is doing her best to provide extensive and complete coverage for her readers.She just finished a meeting with editors, reporters, and photographers, ironing out the last details to create the perfect article.Bernardo appears in the meeting room and finds Maggie turning on the lights, as they used a projector.“And then, dear? What did you decide?”“We’re going to postpone some articles for the next issue.” Maggie responds euphorically, “And then we’ll have half the magazine just to talk about Josias’s fashion show.”Bernardo nods, “Very well, dear. I 100% approve of the idea.”“We’re going to be able to sell a lot of magazines, aren’t we, honey?” Maggie hugs him.“Yes, we are going.” Bernardo kisses her cheek.Maggie felt the rim of Bernardo’s glasses, “You know, I still haven’t gotten 100% used to you wearing glasses. You look so...”“Nerdy?”“The word would be ‘intellectual’”. Maggie quickly corrects.
Building My Life Chapter 2374 Theories
In the Teodoro building, Alan is not willing to give up the friendship (or something else) that he feels for Sofia. What is Vera talking about?“Vera, with all due respect, why don’t you trust Sofia Vasquez if this is the first time you’re hearing about her?” Alan questions her.Vera smiles calmly, “It turns out that, from what you’ve told me, I can already see that there’s something wrong with the story. Alan, could it be that Sofia was using you for information?”Alan narrows his eyes, “No, Vera, I don’t believe for a minute—”Vera cuts him off gently, “Please, Alan. You’ll be the heir to Rocha Constructions, the most famous civil construction company in Espírito Santo. You cannot afford to be deceived by women, or the company’s reputation will crumble.”“Well, I guess I learned that from watching my Dad.” Alan crosses his arms.“Therefore, I want you to watch if Sofia gets back in touch with you. If that does not happen...”“Then I’ll know she just came to me for the story,” Alan c
Building My Life Chapter 2375 William Creates Another Mess
William is walking around the Sunset Village arena facility. He decided, on his own, to see if everything was happening according to his will, rather than according to Josias and Melissa’s will.And so, as he turns down the hall toward the dressing rooms, he is shocked and dumbfounded by what he sees. Not far away, one of the doors had a sticker with the name CLÁUDIO GUZMAN.“This is nonsense! Where is the person responsible for this here?” William cries out to no one in particular.The workers are embarrassed to respond to Mrs. Rocha’s younger brother since he seemed to be frothing with rage like a hydrophobic dog.Wallace, wearing a white helmet, approaches the workers, “Keep working, people. We still have a lot to do.”The workers go back to work, confident that Wallace will solve yet another crisis at the construction site.Wallace smiles as he approaches William, “My friend, you should beware of your lack of mobility.”“You ordered a lot of ramps to be built, which facilitates ac

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
Chapter 3244 Taken by the CEO’s Son
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—”
