Building My Life Chapter 2581 The Truth in a Hospital Lounge
The next day, it was the Mountain family’s turn to wait in the General Hospital lounge.Daryl, as always, was the most excited of them all.“I don’t believe it... I can hardly believe that Josias deliberately ran over Uncle Ulysses...”“Because Uncle Ulysses was running after Aunt Addie to kill her,” Kelvin adds indignantly.“We don’t know if he really wanted to kill her, Kelvin!”“Please!” Maggie exclaims, “Let’s not argue.”Diane asks calmly, “Is Aunt Addie better?”“She is resting in our apartment,” Bernardo responds. “She wouldn’t look good in her old apartment.”“Fortunately.” Diane sighs, “She’s suffered enough.”“If Aunt Addie is suffering the most, it was Josias who inflicted more drama in her life.” Daryl neighs.Maggie and Kelvin look at each other, determined.“OK, since we’re all talkative here,” Kelvin takes the floor, “I think it’s time for the Truth Game.”“What stupidity are you talking about, Kelvin?” Daryl crosses his arms.“Don’t be so quick to call what I have to s
Building My Life Chapter 2582 Caroline Can’t Take It Anymore
Dr. Braggart regretfully announces, “Everyone, it is with great regret that I inform you that patient Ulysses Cardozo succumbed to his injuries and passed away.”The family doesn’t know whether to celebrate or mourn. Silence is general.“Who will take care of the bureaucracy for the release of the corpse?” Dr. Braggart clears his throat, somewhat uncomfortable.Daryl offers, “I’ll handle it, doc. My aunt is bedridden. Later, we’ll make preparations for the burial with her.”Daryl and the doctor leave the lounge. The rest are still impacted by the news.“This feels surreal.” Isabel shakes her head, “We should feel something, shouldn’t we?”“Honey, after it was revealed that the deceased was responsible... for the explosion, causing the death of his henchman...” Francisco clears his throat, “How are we going to mourn his death?”“And even more so for the fact that if he had remained faithful to his wife, Shirley would be alive.” Diane responds, “No matter how annoying and troublesome sh

Diane presses the intercom at the gate of the Teodoro building. Outside, she can hear the song “My Humps” by The Black Eyed Peas.“Some things never change.” Diane smiles.Diane hears the click and enters the lobby. Teresa was behind the counter, swaying to the beat of the music, feeling twenty years younger.“Oh, God, am I missing a performance?” Diane applauds, laughing. For a moment, she forgets her problems.“Life is too short to not have fun once in a while, my dear,” Teresa states.“And you have plenty of reasons to have fun, right, friend?” Diane leans against the counter. “In my case, we will have one more funeral to attend.”“To attend and to take care!” Teresa gets serious, “I heard about your uncle. Girl, I’m so sorry.”Diane sighs, “I don’t know if I can accept these condolences, Tess. Knowing what I know...”Teresa nods, “How is your family?”“They know.” Diane promptly responds, “I told Daryl, and he admitted that it was Ulysses who blew up the kitchen at the Rocha Hotel
Building My Life Chapter 2584 It’s Time to Say Goodbye
The next day, Josias was meeting with his family to discuss the case. João Paulo and Helen returned from their honeymoon.In the living room of the Rocha Mansion, Melissa turns to Helen, “Later, I want to see the photos, Helen.”“Ah, of course, you’ll see them. They were perfect.” Helen sighs in wonder.João Paulo kisses Helen on the cheek. Then he turns to Josias, “What’s up, little brother? Did that anonymous phone call my father received tell the truth?”Josias smiles, “It wasn’t exactly anonymous. It was Daryl, confessing the truth and getting revenge on his uncle for sleeping with Shirley.”Vernon shakes his head, “I wonder what was going through his head.”Melissa sighs in regret, “Oh... Shirley was never a good person, huh? What happened to that lady who baked shortbread cookies?”“That was the mask she wanted us to see,” Elza speaks.“Only the family, especially Francisco and Isabel, knew who she really was,” Simeon states.“Well, with Diane confessing that the guy I killed wa
Building My Life Chapter 2585 The End of Strife
Vernon and João Paulo’s journalistic columns were the most read and sought after of the week, with thousands of readers wanting to read the outcome of the 2005 mysteries. Father and son agreed to write their articles together.The fact that Ulysses Cardoso decided to simply blow up the kitchen at the Rocha Hotel without ever having contact with Josias Rocha before that made a lot of people angry.“How could this guy?” Alfred complained through the halls of Rocha Constructions, “Was he so eager to please his nephew that he risked his neck for it?”“So you can see how crazy some people are.” Octavio chuckles mockingly, “And as João Paulo made clear in his article, Daryl discovered that his beloved uncle was sleeping with Shirley and decided to report him.”Josias magically appears, “Octavio, we need to talk about this. Come to my office.”Octavio is startled. Does Josias want to talk about the blackmail?The gentlemen enter the CEO’s office. Reuben was adjusting the air conditioning tem
Building My Life Chapter 2586 Diane Says Goodbye
After the success of the article revealing all the rot of Ulysses Cardozo, João Paulo and Helen decided to focus on their lives.And that included buying a beautiful house in Europe Garden.The house was built in the American style with two floors, a basement and attic, a dark gray roof, and walls with wood panels mixing white and lavender.The property had a stone wall flanking the house, a front garden for Helen to spend her time, a swimming pool and barbecue area in the back for leisure, and a covered garage to protect the brand new car that João Paulo intended to buy.Erasmo and Olivia were walking along the sidewalk and were shocked to discover it: they’ll be neighbors of someone from Josias’s family.“Holy Crap! What do you think you’re doing here?” Erasmo turns pale.João Paulo turns to him, proudly, “Hello, Mr. Vasquez! We’ll live on the same street as you! And it looks like the Lafayette Mansion isn’t far from here, right?”“A few blocks behind,” Olivia informs, only to be po

At Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin gets up and turns off the radio to talk better with Caroline. Felipe clears his throat.“Carol, would you believe me if I told you that my father had nothing to do with this?”“How can I believe something like that, Felipe?” Caroline is discouraged, “I never know your father’s limits. Please, don’t say that his late uncle acted on his own. Your father knew who blew up the hotel kitchen, did he?”Felipe sighs, regretful (or not), “Yes, he knew. And me too.”“FELIPE!” Caroline is horrified, leaving the cup on the coffee table, “I don’t believe it... How could you betray me like that? I thought we were friends!”“Forgive me, Carol. In this dispute between our families, I ended up going over to my father’s side.” Felipe lowers his head, “After all, I spent my childhood and adolescence without a family...”Kelvin adds, “I know, Felipe, but you’re also Caroline’s friend and Josias holds you in high esteem. You can be sure that you’ll have a promotion at the res
Building My Life Chapter 2588 Don’t Confuse Caroline
Melissa is startled by Alan’s sudden question.“Son, do you want to know if I noticed adulterous conduct between Cláudio Guzman and Olivia Vasquez?”“Maybe, if you had noticed, that photo had some truth to it,” Alan responds.“No, son, I didn’t stop to pay attention to that.” Melissa shakes her head, “Of course, we always suspected that Olivia Vasquez had a crush on Cláudio Guzman, especially with what happened at the fashion show in 2003. But, son, I definitely didn’t notice any of that at this year’s festival. I’ve been pretty busy, and I trusted Olivia wouldn’t do anything like that.”“Yes, she was left out of the fashion show last year because of the confusion.” Alan rubs his chin, “Well, Sofia doesn’t want to believe that her mother willingly got involved with another guy. In fact, she says that my future in-laws are increasingly romantically linked.”Melissa smiles, “That’s great. Now, son, as for your sister...”“Mom, Carol admitted that she’s been pretending this whole time to

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

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

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,

At the General Hospital, Diane was causing a scene in the hallway while Felipe was being treated in one of the rooms. “What is happening? Someone please give me answers!!” Matthew approached the desperate woman. “Mrs. Mountain, we ask for your calm. Your son is not in life-threatening condition.” “He should never have been in this situation to begin with!” Diane shouted. Eugenio approached. “Mrs. Mountain, we’re very sorry. I tried to call Suzy, but she is at an appointment with Cardozo Perfumes.” “Why is she at my brother-in-law’s company? More investments?” Diane was taken aback. “Perhaps,” Eugenio narrowed his eyes. “She didn’t tell me exactly what she intended to do.” “Oh, this situation is killing me. Doctor, how is he?” “He is sleeping under the effect of sedatives. We are waiting for a room to become available to conduct some tests to understand why he isn’t waking up,” Matthew informed her. “Well, if my boy isn’t going to wake up for now, I need to reach my husband.
Chapter 3227 Business First, Boyfriend Later
At the Rocha Hotel, Luís couldn’t stand being called “Spanish Stallion” for the umpteenth time and gave Felipe the biggest beating he had ever received in his life. However, Eugenio was not in favor of violence and quickly called using his desk phone. “Security, there’s a fight happening in my office!” Eugenio’s euphoric voice jolted Luís out of his trance. When he came to, Felipe was unconscious, with a bleeding nose and cuts on his face. “LUÍS, look what you’ve done!” Eugenio panicked. “How am I going to defend you from this?” “I couldn’t control myself, Eugenio! You know how much I hate that nickname!” Luís shouted passionately. “It doesn’t matter! If you can’t keep your self-control, you’re going to get into serious trouble like right now!” Eugenio pushed Luís away from Felipe as he spoke. He knelt down and checked Felipe’s vital signs by holding his wrist. “At least he’s STILL alive,” Eugenio said sarcastically. The security team arrived in record time. “Here we are, ma

At Crystal Blue, the restaurant was still closed, but Suzy was there at the bar, having a drink in celebration. Diane was the one who prepared two shots, both toasting. “A toast to success and personal fulfillment, my future daughter-in-law!” They both drank. Suzy took a deep breath. “What a relief! It’s so good to be victorious!” “It really is a wonderful feeling.” Diane nodded. “Now, do you think the annoying people will finally leave you alone?” “No, of course not! It seems the war is going to intensify even more.” Suzy replied excitedly. “And you are confident that you can fight, win?” “Of course! I have the truth on my side.” Suzy took another sip. “It all started with Sofia discussing salary increases in front of the employees.” “I feel like she did that on purpose, huh?” Diane raised her eyebrows suspiciously. “Yes, I see it that way, too, after thinking it through. What a coincidence that Sofia heated up the discussion just as I showed up warning against making too ma
