Building My Life Chapter 2547 Glass Railing
Melissa still didn’t know about the existence of another one of Kelvin’s uncles, “Are you one of Daryl’s relatives who lives in Linhares, on Shirley’s side?”“I am her brother-in-law. Her younger sister is my wife.” Ulysses responds charismatically.“And how is she?” Melissa asks worriedly, “I heard that she was present at the time of the accident and is hospitalized.”“Accident?” Ulysses chuckles, “Nothing like that happened, Mrs. Rocha. Shirley was depressed because everyone despised her and she committed suicide. No one can handle so much contempt in this life.”Melissa is startled. Is it serious that this old man is going to pull this theory out of his sleeve? “Mr. Cardozo, I hope I’m not rude, but Shirley Mountain wasn’t exactly the easiest person to get along with. Are you okay with her spending decades calling her daughter a whore?”Ulysses swallows hard, “OK, you have a point. But Maggie could have tried to resolve the situation, instead of growing further apart. When she retu
Building My Life Chapter 2548 The Secret Begins to Spread
“Don’t hang up on you? But that’s exactly what I’ll do, bye!” Daryl barks.“NO, you can’t do that!” Octavio bellows, “How are you going to feel when you know that—”“Know what?” Daryl was about to end the call, but he heard that sentence and put the cell phone back to his ear. He goes back to the closet, “Don’t tell me you’re trying to blackmail me in a time of pain and mourning!”“You didn’t get along with your mother.” Octavio mocks him.“But I didn’t want her to die! Yes, she came here just to bother Uncle Francisco and Isabel, but I didn’t want her to become a mashed potato on the asphalt, how horrible!”“Thierry Lafayette took some photos... But it’s not your mother smashed on the asphalt that I want to talk about. I want to talk about your mother naked in bed with another man, the man who probably paid for the VIP suite at the Rocha Hotel.”Daryl’s eyes widen. After a few seconds of shock, he struggles not to shout so Diane doesn’t hear him, “What the hell are you talking about,
Building My Life Chapter 2549 The First Meeting
In the back of Crystal Blue, Daryl has the biggest revelation in his family’s history, something horrifying, controversial, and obscene. His head is spinning and his hands are shaking.“I... I don’t know what to say...”“Daryl, it’s not that hard to understand.” Octavio continues in a dark and icy tone, “Your mother was living in a luxury room at the Rocha Hotel for weeks. Have you ever wondered how much money she used to pay her daily rate? My wife Jane said she never missed a day of payment.”Daryl puts his hand on his glabella, “She never responded to me properly.”“Well, now you tell me about this uncle Ulysses... Who exactly is he?”“If your wife bought any perfume from the brand ‘Cardozo’, it’s from my uncles. They are the owners.” Daryl faces his enemy.“OK, so we’ve cracked this part. Your mother lived in the hotel because her uncle paid for it. These photos were probably taken in the suite, and it’s obvious that someone was investigating.”Daryl’s voice shakes, “Investigating
Building My Life Chapter 2550 Daryl Is Manipulated
Daryl enters Crystal Blue’s office and kicks the desk, venting his anger.“DAMN IT! Why did you have to be so promiscuous, Mom? Why did you always accuse Maggie of being what you are? ‘Accuse him of what you do,’ that’s the motto, huh?”The door opens and Felipe enters, “Dad, why are you shouting? It seems like I heard your voice in the alley.”Daryl looks at Felipe impatiently. No, this time he won’t know that...“I was arguing with Octavio Motta. Don’t mind, son.”“It seems like you mentioned Grandma Shirley...” Felipe is confused.“Son, be careful when you talk to yourself.” Daryl leans over to the computer and turns it on, “Someone might hear you.”“Dad, what’s going on? Is this just mourning and grief over your mother’s death?”“FELIPE, please don’t ask me questions I can’t answer!” Daryl barks.Felipe doesn’t give up. He’s that annoying character who makes us have high blood pressure.“Dad, please talk to me! I know I’m not a Mountain of real blood, but I care about family! I di
Building My Life Chapter 2551 Dinners and Celebrations
At the police station, Josias is a little uncomfortable when he meets Kelvin after so many years. Amoreira, however, does not feel the strange atmosphere.“Mr. Mountain, hello! I’m glad you came as agreed.”“As agreed?” Josias raises an eyebrow.Kelvin smirks, “Yes, Josias. I’m spending time here, if you don’t mind.”“Of course—” Josias decides not to be rude, “If you need Hilton Amoreira’s services, who am I to say anything...?”“You’re just the owner of the city.” Kelvin responds, “But I’m employing Amoreira’s services to find out what really happened to my mother.”Josias is surprised, “Your uncle and Daryl are convinced that it was suicide.”Kelvin shakes his head, “No, I won’t accept a verdict like that. And Amoreira will seek the truth that will set us free.”Amoreira chirps, “At your service, Mr. Mountain.”“Then I better leave.” Josias greets the gentlemen with a nod.After he leaves, Amoreira closes the door, “Sit down, Mr. Mountain. Where do you want me to start?”Kelvin sit
Building My Life Chapter 2552 When are they going to tell Josias?
Daryl returns to the penthouse, tired after another exhausting day of work. Will it always be like this? Will he ever regain the glory of the 90s?“And it all started...” Daryl says to himself, “When I wanted to help Josias get rid of that troublemaker, Katherine Bezerra... My only consolation is that she is now missing at sea.”Diane approaches him smiling and wearing an apron, “Honey, good news! Tomorrow the locksmith will come to repair the balcony railing, removing the glass and installing iron bars. Now let’s feel safe and free ourselves from the guilt.”“Honey, my mother’s death was never your fault or mine, much less Felipe’s. Don’t allow people to say otherwise, or we’ll never get rid of the mockery.”Diane shrugs, “If you really want to know, I don’t care what people say. It’s just that I felt responsible for allowing the glass railing all these years.”“Well, you don’t have to feel that way anymore.” Daryl sits down in the armchair and takes off his shoes.“Is there a proble
Building My Life Chapter 2553 We Don’t Know About Anyone Else
At Rocha Constructions, Josias is very focused on the Guarapari project. He is standing, calling one of the cement suppliers.“Look, I received the report from the head of Engineering, and I can say that I wasn’t satisfied with what I read. You urgently need to improve the quality because I don’t want the building to collapse with the residents still inside! Can you imagine what a scandal that would be? Your name would go down in the mud with me.”The door opens and Reuben appears with Daryl.“I told you he’s busy,” Reuben speaks quietly.Daryl replies in the same tone, “Believe me, boy. He’ll listen to me.”Reuben gives up and closes the door. Daryl takes a deep breath. Is today...Josias sees Daryl and ends the call, “OK, contact Mr. Alfred Paterson and agree on the best solution. I’m counting on you, bye!” He turns to Daryl, “What a surprise!”Daryl approaches cautiously, “You’re going to lose that smile when you hear what I have to say, Josias.”“What are you talking about? There’
Building My Life Chapter 2554 They Didn’t Want to Wait
At Rocha Constructions, Josias talks to Octavio in his office. All around, architects draw their plans on their computers, very focused. One of them is almost burying his face in the monitor, trying to see.Josias jokes about this, “I think one of your architects needs glasses, Octavio.”“Oh, Denis always does that. I’ll give him the tip later.” Octavio chuckles.Alfred asks, “Josias, were you able to talk to that cement factory that I dare not name?”“Don’t worry, Alfred. You’ll be getting a call from them any moment.”Alfred scratches the back of his head, “I know we’re responsible for these matters, Josias, but it seems that some only take us seriously after they are reprimanded by you. You probably said the same thing as me, but with you, they understand. With us, we’re accused of being too demanding.”“I know you are capable guys and have done everything.” Josias doesn’t let his friends feel inferior.“It’s comforting to hear you like that, Josias.

Chapter 3237 Mary’s Quinceañera (1)
That evening, the Rocha Events Hall was elegantly lit, and the soft sound of a waltz floated through the air.It was a joint celebration for Ignacio and Mary Campos Mountain. But more than just a birthday party, it marked Mary’s fifteenth birthday — her quinceañera.Because of that, the entire hall had been reserved for this important and unforgettable occasion.At the center of it all, Mary danced gracefully in a flowing, elegant pink gown that made her look like a miniature bride. Her dance partner, a close friend of sixteen, guided her with surprising poise.Around them, seven other couples glided across the floor, including Ignacio, who partnered with a girl from a well-known family. Henrique, as the cousin of the twins, also had his partner following the waltz.From the sidelines, Kelvin and Karen watched the scene with quiet pride, while Melissa and Josias — especially Melissa, mother of the birthday twins — took in the moment with emotion.“Look at your daughter,” Josias whispe
Chapter 3236 Support Your Wife
In the Mountain Penthouse living room, the atmosphere was far from serene. The heated discussion between Suzy and her boyfriend’s family showed no sign of calming down.“I can’t believe this!” Suzy exclaimed, her voice tight with indignation. “You all actually think I’m in love with Luís Vasquez!”Karen raised an eyebrow, her tone biting. “You’re not?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Suzy barked back. “I’m in love with Felipe — I love him!”Kelvin, unmoved, folded his arms. “Just not as much as you love your money and your... ‘investments.’”Diane lifted a hand, hoping to bring reason to the conversation. “Suzy, I’ve turned a deaf ear to all the gossip about you. I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane... I don’t know why Felipe insists on believing the lies João Paulo QUEIRÓS keeps spinning!”Daryl’s expression darkened. “So the problem lies with the journalist, then. Looks like I’ll have to deal with
Chapter 3235 I Don’t Want Cursed Money
The Mountain Penthouse living room was filled with tension that morning. Everyone was taken aback as the truth behind the fight that had sent Felipe to the hospital came to light.“Well, if that’s how it is...” Daryl began, clearly processing the news.Diane, urgent to defend her son, jumped in. “But wait, why exactly did Felipe and Luís decide to fight?”Suzy’s lips curled into a sly smile. It was time to drop the bomb.“According to my uncle Eugenio,” she began, “Felipe barged into his office and announced that he wanted to break up with me — because my uncle was happy about me being featured on the cover of Maggiezine.”Everyone looked even more stunned.“Wait, what does that have to do with anything?” Kelvin asked, frowning.Suzy explained, “Felipe saw my uncle thanking Luís for sort of encouraging me to accept the interview with Maggie.”Daryl exhaled sharply. “So my son just had a jealous outburst. That’s all it was.”Diane shrugged. “He wasn’t serious about breaking up with you
Chapter 3234 The Girlfriend Showed Up
At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin and Daryl were relieved that everything had turned out okay. Diane and Karen were nearby, on the sofas, chatting cheerfully. “God was merciful and allowed our son to live a few more years,” Diane declared. “Now, you both need to rest,” Karen patted Kelvin’s chest. “We slept beautifully while you two were in that sterile lounge.” Kelvin yawned once more. “I think I’ll take my dear wife’s advice; what do you think, Daryl?” “Who said we own the place?” Daryl yawned as well. The ladies laughed at their funny husbands. The doorbell rang. Tony passed through the living room, offering, “I’ll get it.” When Tony opened the door, he was surprised by the visitor. “Miss Cogo?” “How funny, you don’t call me by my first name. Did Felipe manage to talk to you before the coma?” Suzy asked bitterly, without smiling. Tony reacted perplexed by this torrent of unfriendly words. “Uh... Come in, please.” Suzy entered, ready for the storm. “Who is it, big brothe
Chapter 3233 A Surprising Report
The next day, Matthew Hogan entered the General Hospital lounge and found Daryl and Kelvin incredibly exhausted but hopeful. “Doctor, how did it go?” Daryl nearly jumped on Matthew. “Calm down, the patient survived the surgery. It’s just a matter of time before he’s back in his room.” “Oh, thank God!” Kelvin cheered. Daryl couldn’t resist and hugged Matthew. “Thank you so much, doctor!” Matthew smiled, somewhat awkwardly, but aware that it was a common reaction. “You’re welcome, we did everything we could.” “Yeah, I understand.” Daryl released the hug, rubbing his eyes — whether from sleep or wiping away a tear. “It’s going to take a little while. I suggest you both go home and rest a bit,” Matthew said. “I think we’ll do just that,” Kelvin yawned. “Now that the danger has passed, I think I deserve it. Doctor, let us know if anything happens,” Daryl requested, patting the doctor’s shoulder. “I’ll do. And congratulations to you both.” Matthew left the lounge. Kelvin yawned a
Chapter 3232 The Detective I Trust
At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio and Jake are talking to Suzy about what is happening. Jake was upset. “Suzy, haven’t you gone to visit your boyfriend yet?” “I don’t know if it’s a good idea to show up there right now.” Suzy lowered her head. “The fight happened... here?” Eugenio responded indignantly, “Yes, in my beloved living room. Luís lost his temper when Felipe called him ‘Spanish Stallion.’“ Suzy lifted her head, completely changing her posture. “WHAT? Well, then, the beating didn’t come out of nowhere!” “Come on, sis, don’t go along with this,” Jake advised her. “They’re saying Felipe’s condition is serious.” “Serious is Luís getting teased every single day by the nickname he despises the most!” Suzy exclaimed. Eugenio decided to tell the whole story, “Suzy, there’s a lot more you don’t know.” “Tell me, uncle!” “Felipe, before being assaulted, said he wouldn’t continue dating you, claiming that the Cogo family would always prefer Luís.” Suzy reacted, paralyzed by this inf

Rodrigo and Nadia entered the General Hospital lounge, finding Karen and Diane. “We’re here! Where’s Daryl?” Nadia approached the couch. “He went to check with Kelvin for more information,” Diane sniffed. “Thanks for coming.” “We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t show up,” Nadia sat down near them. “And I’m a mother too.” Rodrigo poured himself some coffee. “Any news?” Diane took a deep breath. “Felipe is still awake. Dr. Hogan said the tests revealed a concussion, and they’re now deciding if surgery will be necessary.” “How horrible.” Nadia shuddered. “Well, whether surgery is necessary or not, I hope everything goes well for Felipe.” “Now, I find it strange that Suzy still hasn’t shown up!” Karen frowned. “Did you see her outside?” “No. We thought she was inside or with Daryl,” Nadia replied honestly. Diane shook her head. “No, guys, I can’t believe Suzy would choose to work or handle investments instead of checking on her boyfriend!” Rodrigo took a sip – the coffee wasn’t a
Chapter 3230 The Lady of Lagoon City Makes a Powerful Speech
At Vaztrans, William swallowed hard before answering Sofia’s question.“Sofia, your cousin really went too far this time,” he began cautiously.“What do you mean?” Sofia narrowed her eyes. “I know Luís can be a bit difficult, but—”“Yes, the hot Spanish blood speaks louder sometimes, right?” William took a deep breath. “Luís assaulted Felipe. Daryl rushed to the hospital.”Sofia reacted with her mouth open, holding her breath.Then she composed herself. “How could he do such a thing?”“Do you want to hear my guess?” William asked with a sly smile.“No! It can’t be because of Suzy Cogo!” Sofia ran her hands through her hair as if to pull it out.“It seems we were wrong to have accepted her partnership, huh?” William shook his head.“If she starts to tarnish Vaztrans’ reputation...” Sofia paced around the office. “First, her statement: her reluctance to raise the salary of the employees here. Now, this love triangle that I thought was over...”“Everaldo warned us to be careful with her,”
Chapter 3229 Despair at the General Hospital
At Vaztrans, William and Daryl were discussing the repercussions of Suzy’s article in Maggiezine.“People are accepting Suzy’s apologies and explanations,” William broke the silence, holding a copy.Daryl pursed his lips. “Whatever. Sometimes I think João Paulo is lurking, ready to pounce on anything to throw us into confusion.”“But the salary bonus we promised will be paid, right?” William smirked.“Of course, what choice do we have?” Daryl pointed to the magazine. “She made it clear in the interview. We’re not going to contradict her, are we?”William laughed ironically. “It seems Suzy is going to be the kind of person who does anything to get out of trouble, even if it means contradicting herself.”Daryl’s cell phone rang, and he answered, seeing it was Diane. “My dear is calling. Hello, Di?”Diane was at the hospital entrance, trying to be strong. “Hello, Daryl. We need you at the hospital.”“What happened?” Daryl’s eyes widened.“Luís Vasquez beat our son to a pulp, as they say,
