Building My Life Chapter 2528 Confirming the Affair
William visits Café Montanha. He coincides with finding Flávia talking to Neilton.“Neil, I know you’re about to become an adult.” Flávia advises him, “But it’s important that you make the right decisions. Next time someone insults you because of your condition or skin color, tell Izzy or Francisco. Especially when it’s that witch, Shirley Mountain.”“I don’t think she’ll come here anymore.” Neilton smiles at her.William approaches with a frown, “What did you say, Flávia? Did Shirley Mountain mistreat this orphan?”Flávia turns to her cousin and smiles, “Hi, Will. This is Neil, the boy I told you about.”“Great pleasure.” William extends his hand with a charismatic smile.Neilton is in awe, “Wow, the legendary goalscorer Will Campos!”“This has been going on for a while now...” William is amused.“Even so, your history will never be erased!” Neil states adoringly, “There are guys at the orphanage who want to be just like you.”“May God bless your plans,” William heads to a table.Nei
Building My Life Chapter 2529 An Uncomfortable Arrangement
At Ulysses’ apartment, Shirley casually says that she came to get her things, but Adelaide and Ulysses are appalled by this.Shirley is amused by their astonished faces, “What’s wrong, guys? Are you suspecting something?”She turns to Adelaide, “Sis, you don’t mind me staying here for a few days with my brother-in-law, do you? You know, I checked out of the Rocha Hotel because no one served me well.”Adelaide composes herself, “If I know you, sister, you must have been very rude to the maids.”“I just wanted them to do their job.” Shirley shrugs, “But that’s what happens when Josias hires family and friends instead of qualified people to be personnel manager.”Adelaide stares at Ulysses, “Thank you, dear, for hosting my sister. But I believe she’ll now go to the Mountain Penthouse, where her son lives, correct?”“Yes, I don’t want to disturb the couple!” Shirley smiles widely as if she’s in a Japanese anime.Ulysses leaves the living room hurriedly, “I’ll go get your things, sister-in

At Crystal Blue, Felipe and Diane scream as if they belong to a group of baboons.“AAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!” Diane goes hoarse, “A MILLION TIMES NO! The witch Shirley will not stay in my home!”“DIANE!” Daryl stands up, indignant, “Respect my mother! She is your mother-in-law!”“And?” Diane feels her eyes boil with anger, “What does she intend to do in our lives? Where has she been all this time?”“I don’t know.” Daryl shakes his head, “Listen, she tried to stay at my uncle’s apartment, but my aunt Adelaide is here because of a convention their company is having.”Felipe smiles mischievously, “If there wasn’t a convention, would ‘grandma’ Shirley stay at Uncle Ulysses’ apartment?”“Son, don’t insinuate such disgusting things,” Daryl complains, far from the truth.“Father, you need to listen to us.” Felipe pleads, “If Josias Rocha finds out that you sheltered your mother, he will attack us. Our kitchen would probably be the next one to explode.”“The gas cylinders are in here.” Daryl smile
Building My Life Chapter 2531 Coincidences in the Cafeteria
Olivia enters Café Montanha and is also surprised by Neilton in the service.“Good afternoon, ma’am? What will your request be?”“Are you new here? Congratulations on the opportunity.” Olivia chooses a table.Isabel, who was at the cash register, rolls her eyes.Why do people react as if it were something out of this world for a black person to get a job?“I’ll have a grilled sandwich and cappuccino, please. Don’t overdo the cheese, I need to lose weight.”“You don’t need it!”Neilton and Olivia are surprised by the voice.Cláudio approaches them and greets the new waiter, “How are you? Cláudio Guzman, I’m a regular here.”“Neilton, but everyone calls me Neil.” Neilton smiles, enjoying meeting new people.“Bring me what the lady asked for, and put it all on my bill,” Claudio asks gallantly as he sits down.Olivia stops herself from laughing at the coincidence. Wasn’t she just telling her husband that it was impossible to meet Cláudio to carry out Daryl’s order?“Mr. Guzman, what a ple
Building My Life Chapter 2532 The Husband Is Jealous of His Mistress
At Crystal Blue, Daryl gets up after spending hours sorting out the restaurant’s accounting.Just as he thinks about stretching his legs, the door opens and Ulysses walks in.“Did they let you in?” Daryl jokes.“Your son showed me the place.” Ulysses is not in the mood to joke, “Daryl, I need to know if it will be possible to shelter your mother in the penthouse.”Daryl has a slight suspicion about Ulysses’ haste, but shakes his head, “Don’t worry, uncle. If you see my mother, tell her she will stay at the penthouse.”“I thought you would say she was welcome.” Ulysses analyzes him, “Your wife and son don’t agree?”“They reacted negatively at first, but they understood that my mother cannot live under the bridge.” Daryl smiles bitterly.“OK, then everything is fine.” Ulysses reacts, obviously relieved.This makes Daryl ask, “Uncle, are you all right?”Ulysses catches himself. He decides to be cautious, “You know how your aunt doesn’t get along with your mother.”“I never knew. I always
Building My Life Chapter 2533 Until the Last Consequences
The day came when Helen had to return home, or rather, to Vernon’s apartment. She is resting on the bed in the maid’s room, with Vernon, Elza, João Paulo, and Sandra around her. The maid’s room is not a spacious place, but everyone wants to know how Helen is recovering. “Guys, don’t worry about me.” Helen smiles weakly, “I’ll be fine. I just need to rest.” “Can we play with my dolls later, Helen?” Sandra asks with an angelic smile. “Yes, Sandra, later... Now I’m going to get some sleep.” Helen caresses Sandra’s hair as if she were her mother. Elza feels a lump in her throat, “Guys, let’s let Helen rest.” “Count on us for anything.” Vernon blinks and leaves. Elza and Sandra go out with him. João Paulo stays. After the door is closed, João Paulo kneels and comes face to face with Helen. “And then...” Helen swallows hard and her eyes get teary, “Are you going to look for an apartment for me? Or do you still need me to babysit your daughter?” “I need you as the mother of my daugh
Building My Life Chapter 2534 Robbery at the Teodoro Building
In Vernon’s apartment, João Paulo gathers his parents to announce what he has decided. They are on the couch while the announcer is standing. “Son, we look forward to your statement,” Elza states. “Mom, Dad...” João Paulo smiles, “Contrary to what some might think, I intend to marry Helen as soon as she feels better.” “Ah, dear son!” Elza gets up and hugs her youngest son. “This is my boy!” Vernon smiles proudly. Elza breaks the hug and starts to speak hurriedly, “Do you already have a date? Have you contacted Green Park Church? Did you talk to Father Mathias? What about the cake, the dress, the music...?” “Keep calm, Mom,” João Paulo chuckles, “One step at a time. By now, we’ll have the ceremony location.” “Where?” “In the hotel.” Vernon and Elza break their smiles. They both scratch their ears, thinking they misunderstood. “I think I’m going deaf.” Vernon jokes, “I heard you say you want to get married where you lost your second baby.” João Paulo smiles confidently, “I’m n
Building My Life Chapter 2535 An Extravagant Guest
At the Mountain Penthouse, Daryl stands with his arms crossed watching Shirley eating the breakfast SHE prepared. Diane had made toast with honey, but Shirley decided on pancakes with lots of syrup.“Do you want a pancake, my grandson?” Shirley hands Felipe a piece on her fork.Felipe stands up abruptly from the dinner table and shouts, “You know where to stick that pancake!”Felipe strides out of the dining room. Daryl is already dressed for work while Shirley is still in her robe and slippers.“Mom, you woke up later and are still having breakfast as if you had nothing left to eat.” Daryl complains, “It’s already nine o’clock in the morning. It’s too late for breakfast.”“If your wife made a decent breakfast...” Shirley hints snidely, “I remember Melissa always had a maid. Why don’t you hire one?”“The penthouse costs don’t allow me to have a maid.” Daryl says flatly, “I’m working as an employee of Cláudio Guzman.”“That will be for now.” Shirley shrugs. She eats the pancake.“Do yo

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
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—”
