Building My Life Chapter 2399 One Revelation
At the police station, Josias and Amoreira come to the same conclusion about the photos. Ivan remains indisposed, because he wanted to arrest Josias for the attack, but...“Sergeant Moraes...” Josias leans towards him at the desk, “Do you now understand that Daryl Mountain was trying to KILL ME?”Ivan looks at the photographs only to avoid facing Josias completely right.Amoreira confirms his theory, “Yes, that’s what I also concluded. Mr. Mountain wanted to shoot Josias Rocha, but missed and accidentally hit Cláudio Guzman.”“And he managed to get away by getting into the middle of the mess when everyone backstage started running and pushing each other.” Josias concludes triumphantly, “If you double-check the CCTV footage at slow speed, chances are you’ll spot Daryl among the crowd.”“Yes, knowing he was there, it’s likely that I’d find him,” Ivan states with a frown.“And there is one more thing.” Josias continues, “Thierry Lafayette told me that Daryl Mountain approached him in the
Building My Life Chapter 2400 Why Josias Wasn’t Shot
Ivan and a few helpers show up at Crystal Blue just as they are about to open for midday service. Felipe, in his post as maître d’, is surprised by the unexpected visit.“Gentlemen, have you booked a table or can I help you with something?”Ivan laughs, “Look guys, he thinks we came for grilled salmon!”Ivan’s helpers burst out laughing, offending Felipe.“Sir...”Ivan shakes his head, “Are you Daryl Mountain’s adopted son?”“Yes, Felipe Mountain.” Felipe is on guard.“Come with me to the police station, boy. We need to talk about a complaint that was filed against you.”Diane observes the situation from the bar and bristles, “Hey, what’s going on here, Sergeant?”Ivan regards Diane with contempt, “The mother always wants to defend the calf, no matter how wrong he is! Thankfully, Victor will be different.”Diane comes out from behind the bar and approaches them in large strides. The other waiters are frozen in astonishment.“Let go of my son! He didn’t do anything wrong! Do you want t
Building My Life Chapter 2401 Two Returns
2004Another new year for Josias. He pulls back the master suite curtains, scarcely able to believe that God has been merciful in giving him a full and satisfying life.He smiles as he looks down to see his gardeners carefully tending the grass and flower beds. Melissa always has a strong opinion about flowers.He looks around and sees the beachfront skyline of Sunset Village slowly being taken over by mansions just as fabulous as his. Sunset Village became synonymous with elegance and refinement, and those reaching the same level wanted to show off their status in this exclusive neighborhood.Josias looks back and sees his beloved Melissa sleeping peacefully in the double bed. A little longer, and they would be legally married. Rumor has it that Kelvin has already found another girl, but these are rumors...Melissa turns to the left and starts to wake up. Josias hurries over and places a kiss on her lips.“A good morning kiss.” He declares gallantly.Melissa opens her eyes and smiles
Building My Life Chapter 2402 Talking Too Much
Josias goes to General Hospital and meets with Dr. Braggart.“Dr. Braggart. I hope I’m not disturbing you.”Dr. Braggart chuckles and holds out his hand, “I wish you were the one to bother. I just kicked out a horde of interview-hungry reporters. If your father or brother wants to come here, they are welcome.”Josias laughs, “Thanks for the exclusivity, but if someone from Maggiezine comes, let them in too.”“OK, noted. Do you want to see the patient?”“Yes, if possible.” Josias looks through the bedroom windowpane.Claudio is awake, looking at the ceiling. He notices someone entering and turns to see who it is.Dr. Braggart announces, “Cláudio, you have visitors. I hope everything is alright.”Claudio nods slowly. Josias faces the doctor and he withdraws.When closing the door, Josias faces Claudio, “Hello, Claudio. Glad to see you more willing. I hope you can help me.”Claudio still doesn’t say anything, maybe because he’s weak, maybe because he doesn’t want to talk to Josias.Josia
Building My Life Chapter 2403 Not Afraid of Being Fired
At the hospital, Josias and Ivan decide not to discuss the matter with Cláudio. But Cláudio has already heard a lot.He shifts on the bed, “Daryl Mountain... Daryl shot me...”“Calm down, Mr. Guzman, we are still investigating this!” Ivan despairs, “This is your entire fault, Josias Rocha! Let’s get out of here, we can’t let the patient get excited!”“Just now you worry about it?” Josias turns to Claudio, “We’re very sorry, Claudio. Recover, and try not to think about it.”Claudio takes a deep breath. It will be almost impossible not to think after they say that well-known people tried to kill him!Josias and Ivan leave the convalescent’s room and pass by Dr. Braggart.“And then?”“Doctor, we decided to let the patient rest.” Ivan says in an apologetic tone, “We’ll come back another day.”“Thanks, I’ll take a look at him.” Dr. Braggart walks away.Ivan was about to neigh some more, but Josias’s cell phone rang and he answers it, ignoring the sergeant, “Hello?”On the other side, Melis

At the hospital, Rodrigo and Nadia visit Cláudio to find out how he is doing, without any hard feelings.Cláudio smiles when he sees the two of them, especially Nadia.“Claudio, don’t try hard.” Nadia asks, worried, “We came to visit you because we heard that you’re better.”Claudio nods. Speaking is still difficult for him.“Cláudio, I’m very sorry for what happened.” Rodrigo states, “I know you have every reason to think that I was the one who shot you. We got into a fight over the dressing room and I got really upset.”Claudio starts to shake his head.“I know, it was stupid.” Rodrigo continues, “But I want to tell you that I had nothing to do with that, man. I wouldn’t want to kill you over a dressing room!”Nadia nudges Rodrigo, “Honey, I think Claudio is trying to say something.”“Yes, buddy?” Rodrigo pays attention.“It was... It was...” Claudio forces his throat and vocal cords, “Daryl Mountain... Daryl...”Rodrigo widens his eyes, “Daryl? But it was Daryl who told me about th
Building My Life Chapter 2405 Visions of the Past
The next day, Josias is walking towards Crystal Blue to confront his enemy Daryl.He crosses Ibrahim Square, looking out over the cityscape. The city is growing bigger and bigger, passing 300,000 residents and reaching the 400,000 population milestone. They say that a rural district called Vale do Cajá will be integrated into the city and receive urban improvements.Josias smiles as he is part of the city’s growth. He has grown along with it.As he entered the sidewalk, Josias was tempted to go around the back and turn off the restaurant’s electrical supply just to frighten them. But he resisted the prank and decided to enter through the front door.Upon opening the door, Felipe is the first to see him, “Mr. Rocha! Good morning. How can I help you?”Josias smiles gently, “It’s funny. You like me, Felipe, but your father tried to kill me.”Felipe keeps his smile, “Well, I respect you as a
Building My Life Chapter 2406 Daryl Hides Stuff From His Wife
Josias and Daryl are face to face, staring at each other with distrust and resentment.Daryl decides to break the awkward silence, “How did you hear about that?”“Does that really matter? I fear you’ll want to kill the person responsible.” Josias crosses his arms.“I can only conclude that it was Rodrigo.” Daryl shakes his head, “I didn’t know he would gossip.”“He didn’t tell me to cause gossip!” Josias vehemently asserts, “He was feeling guilty because he thought that Claudio would blame him for the shot when he recovered his health.”“Oh, I see.” Daryl smiles devilishly.“But Rodrigo wasn’t the one who fired the shot, right?” Josias leans forward, “We know that he and Claudio disagreed about the dressing room.”“Yes, I don’t know why Mrs. Vasquez did it.” Daryl winks evilly, “Or

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
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—”
