Building My Life Chapter 2389 Interrogating Suspects
Days passed without Ivan or Amoreira discovering the author of the attack on Josias’s fashion show. However, they discover more and more about the victim, Cláudio Guzman.After leaving the hospital with a cut on his head due to the beating he received from Olivia Vasquez, Ivan, with a bandage on his forehead, was now questioning one of Quantium’s art directors.The man in his forties wearing glasses replied with a charming smile, “Cláudio Guzman, when he comes out of the coma – because he WILL, gentlemen, I believe so – will become an effective model in our agency. Isn’t that awesome?”Ivan doesn’t think it’s awesome, but he needs to dance along with the song, “Hmm... very interesting, sir. I didn’t know Quantium Studios would hire anyone.”The gentleman is nonconformist, “We aren’t talking about just anyone. Cláudio Guzman has the charisma and poise we look for in our models. He did well modeling for us, and he had success while on the runway at the Sunset Village arena. Yes, people
Building My Life Chapter 2390 Live with Mom Again
Josias smiles victoriously at Daryl, the biggest loser he’s ever had the displeasure of meeting. Not even Adrian Barbosa gave him such disgust...“Daryl, there was a time when we were friends.” Josias reminds him.“That was before you lusted after my brother’s wife!” Daryl yells, “Did you know he didn’t attend the festival?”“It’s his loss.” Josias shrugs, “The entire Espírito Santo watched. The LCN audience went through the roof.”“The audience went wild because everyone wanted to see Cláudio Guzman bleeding like a pig, unconscious on the catwalk!” Daryl yells, “People want to see controversy on TV, man!”“Then Kelvin shouldn’t have lost the attraction.” Josias comments jokingly, heading to the drinks table, “Want a drink?”“I never know if you’re going to put cyanide in when my back is turned.” Daryl declines the drink with a gesture.“It was enough to say ‘no’.” Josias pours himself a whiskey, “Well, to answer your question, no. The businessmen who donated and helped me with the fa

Reuben is surprised at the possibility of moving in with his mother. He clears his throat and starts expressing his doubts.“Guys, I don’t mean to be rude. But, would that be the best idea? I’m turning eighteen next year, and I intend to marry Caroline. My mom can get in the way of the process, don’t you think?”Isabel takes her grandson’s hand, “Reuben, we believe your mother will need help and support. She was a long time without having your coexistence. At least, while you’re still engaged to Caroline, you can live here or somewhere else.”“Don’t you think it would be better for her to live here?” Reuben looks around.“We don’t know how she’s going to react to living back in Green Park.” Francisco says, “We can invite her to live here as a test. If she adapts, she can choose another house. The fact is, she’s going to want to be independent, and it’s up to you, Reuben, to decide whether you move in with her or not.”Reuben still has doubts, “People say I’m a lot like my father. What
Building My Life Chapter 2392 What Josias Didn’t Do
At Crystal Blue, Josias is smiling mysteriously, waiting for William to confess to his fashion show antics instead of him bringing up the subject.William continues to stare at the menu without choosing a dish, “Hmm... Melissa told me something that intrigued me.”“What she said?” Josias asks, holding back from laughing.“She said you didn’t do anything to fix the shame that was laid down by Mrs. Vasquez.” William continues to stare at the menu, “No wonder the Vaztrans company is in dire straits.”“Vaztras is run by her husband.” Josias corrects William.William doesn’t give up and looks up, “I imagine she must opine and poke her nose into everything, undermining Mr. Vasquez’s authority as employer and husband. Anyway, she must have had a hard time when Rodrigo found out, huh?”Josias pretends to jump on William’s bandwagon, “I don’t know, Will. I went backstage and saw that the Claudio Guzman sticker was still there. Afterward, I saw Rodrigo getting ready and being made up in the com

Josias trips over his desk, causing his computer monitor to wobble, and some personal objects to fall. He drops his glass of whiskey, shattering to the floor with an ominous crash.Ivan just faces Josias’s shocked reaction with a victorious smile, envisioning the arrest warrant that he will have edited to drag Josias to the joint.Josias is careful not to step on the shards and turns to Ivan, “What kind of bad joke is this, dude?”“DUDE?” Ivan breaks the smile and is outraged, “You never manage to keep your composure, eh, Mr. Rocha?”Josias doesn’t care, “I want to know how you consider me a suspect, and then ask the suspect if he had the victim killed, hoping I’d answer ‘yes’!”Ivan shrugs, “Sometimes we ask that question just to get a reaction.”Josias rages upon realizing he’s fallen for the trap, “Hey, the fact that I reacted with surprise—”“It means you are to blame.” Ivan completes with a provocative smile.“I had my back to Cláudio Guzman!” Josias screams.“I know.” Ivan cross
Building My Life Chapter 2394 That’s What Friends Are For
Josias now receives Raymond in his office. Both hug each other fervently.“Ray, I haven’t had a chance to speak to you one-on-one during the fashion show yet. I’m sorry, but I’ve been very busy.” Josias apologizes.The hug is broken, and Raymond comments, “Don’t feel guilty. I imagine that your routine became more tumultuous after the terrorist attack. So, any clues?”“Yes, we have a clue!” Josias goes to the drinks table to make Raymond a drink, “I’m the prime suspect, according to the police station!”Raymond’s jaw drops, “It can’t be! Josias, you had your back to the model!”“Well, you know, they think I hired the guy so I wouldn’t get my hands dirty.” Josias hands Raymond a glass of brandy.“This is ridiculous. I read everything about Cláudio Guzman. He gave you a headache in 2001 concerning Katherine and J.J.’s deaths. He’s the one who might try to kill you, not the other way around!”“Exactly!” Josias goes to the desk, “But don’t worry about it. I’m under the protection of God,
Building My Life Chapter 2395 Examining the Photos
At Rocha Constructions, it’s Thierry’s turn to visit Josias. The young photographer hands over the envelope that Daryl has been eagerly coveting.Josias takes the envelope and removes the contents. He looks at the pictures with pleasure and interest.Afterward, he looks at Thierry and notices the uneasiness in his face, “Is there a problem, Thierry? Don’t you want to sell me the pictures?”“I’d give you the pictures for free.” Thierry responds, “The problem is, I ran into Mr. Mountain, and he wanted the pictures too.”“Mr. Daryl Mountain?” Josias is startled.“Yes.” Thierry pours himself a drink, “He got more excited as soon as I said the pictures were for you.”Josias chuckles, “Don’t worry about the imbecile. He only asked you to buy the pictures because he knew they were for me.”Thierry takes a sip of whiskey, “It’s not like that, Mr. Rocha. This isn’t the first time Mr. Mountain has asked me for pictures of you. The first time, he asked for a picture of your son dancing with Miss
Building My Life Chapter 2396 Everything Is Arranged
At Crystal Blue, Daryl and Patrick continue to talk. “YOU want to quit, Pat? That is the most meaningless talk I have ever heard in my entire life.” Patrick is wide-eyed, “You have to believe me, Mr. Mountain! Your child is becoming arrogant and dangerous! Soon, even you won’t be able to control him!” Daryl refuses to believe the accusations, “My son is just reacting to years of teasing from you. Pat, if you spent your energy making peace and living peacefully with my son, we wouldn’t even have this conversation.” “OK, OK, I promise I won’t let my job down anymore when it comes to Felipe being the maître d’!” Patrick gestures and starts to sweat. “And you promise to live peacefully with my son, being friends?” Daryl raises an eyebrow. Patrick is silent for long seconds, then answers, “I need to get back to work, sir.” Patrick leaves the office and slams the door shut like he’s running away from some dinosaur. When Daryl

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

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—”
