Building My Life Chapter 2434 Are Shortbread Cookies Back?
In the Mountain penthouse, Diane is waiting for the oven to bake shortbread cookies. Felipe appears, smelling it.“Mom, you’re outdoing yourself, huh? Did you copy the recipe from the Internet?”“I learned how to do it, and it’s all thanks to you,” Diane answers good-naturedly.“Yes, and the lady still had her reservations.” Felipe reminds her.“OK, I admit that I’m diving into the computer world.” Diane laughs, “Although I feel old and unqualified.”“Mother, you aren’t old.” Felipe asserts, nudging her, “I still don’t know how Dad lets you work in peace in that bar, with countless male customers harassing you.”“I try to take it in stride.” Diane sniffs some more, “Oh, I think they’re ready.”Diane turns off the oven. Afterward, she takes a kitchen glove and puts it on her hands to open the lid and take a closer look.Daryl appears and is surprised by what he sees, “Hey, isn’t that smell...?”“Buttery cookies!” Felipe exclaims anxiously.“STOP WAITING FOR THESE DAMN COOKIES NOW!” Dar

The kitten keeps still, but the shadow has disappeared.However, when Reuben gives the kitten the piece of pie, Isabel starts hugging herself, feeling goosebumps...“What is it, grandma?” Reuben notices her.“Looks like it’s getting too cold. If this kitten stays here, I’ll take him to be the LCN mascot.” Isabel answers by looking around.“He needs someone to look after him.” Reuben is enchanted by the kitten, “It’s a shame I can’t take him. With my mother taking care of the orphanage, no one will take care of him closely.”The kitten meows as if thanking him for the pie. Reuben and Isabel go back inside.There, Flávia is complaining abo

I assumed Josias was nearby.”“And you guessed correctly.” Melissa yawns, “He’s already up and in the bathroom, probably brushing his teeth so he can talk to you with minty breath.”Octavio gives a nervous chuckle, “OK, ask him to call me back. He knows what it’s about.”“Fin

“CALL THE POLICE!” Daryl springs to his feet, “Have the doormen call the damn police NOW!”“But why, father, why?” Felipe is intrigued.“Do as I say, son, tell the gatekeepers to call the police!” Daryl screams at the top of his lungs, turning off the radio in a rage.“Do you know this old woman? Is she really my grandmother?” Felipe insists.Daryl tries to snatch the mouthpiece from Felipe’s hands to quickly order a paddy wagon. But Felipe is stubborn and won’t let his father catch it. Both fight until Diane shows up.“What’s going on here?”“Mom, Dad wants to call the police on a helpless old lady!” Felipe complains.“IT’S SHIRLEY, IT’S MY MOM!” Daryl becomes hoarse when he screams violently.“Oh damn!” It’s Diane who grabs Felipe’s mouthpiece when she sees him distracted, “Hello, HELLO?

In the office of the CEO of Rocha Constructions, Josias is surprised to see that Octavio is not accepting his transfer to Belo Horizonte.“Josias, you’re gonna forgive me, or not.” Octavio declares with feverish eyes, “I won’t accept moving to a strange city with a wife who also works for you and a two-year-old son. I prefer to resign.”Josias drops his smile and turns somber, “Don’t be ridiculous, Octavio. How are you going to get a job? You are my age. We know you need to settle down, and I’m the one you’re going to do that with.”“Sorry, Josias, but I can manage.” Octavio starts to walk away.“Think of your family, think of your son!” Josias argues.“I’m thinking. Augusto will have a future here in Lagoon City. He’s not going to start over in a strange city because his father made a mistake. Don’t punish my son, Josias!”Josias lowers his head and thinks for a few seconds. Afterward, he goes back to eye-to-eye with Octavio, “Octavio, what if Daryl tries something?”“What else can h

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

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

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—”
