Building My Life Chapter 2834 New Venture for 2008
Josias was surprised by Reuben’s reaction when he asked the question.“Reuben, what happened?”“Uncle Josias, I’d better not answer that question.” Reuben gulped.“Why not? Am I intruding on the couple’s privacy?” Josias smiles understandingly.“That’s almost it. You already have enough problems.” Reuben smiles nervously.“OK, I won’t insist. But you know you can count on me for anything, huh?” Josias looks at the door, “Looks like they’re coming.”The conference room door opens. Alfred, Caio, and the new director of the finance department entered and greeted each other.“Good morning, gentlemen.” Josias positioned himself in his chair, “Reuben, our secretary, will take note of this meeting. No word to the press for now.”“Yes, Mr. Rocha,” replied the other director.“From today onwards, consider the start of our next venture. I talked to my wife, and she accepted the idea of having a party and ceremony hall to rent to anyone who wants to throw their parties.”The announcement impacte
Building My Life Chapter 2835 Not Having the Guts to Open Your Mouth
At Crystal Blue, Josias has lunch with Beto and they talk about current issues.A surprised Josias took two sips of wine to digest the latest news. “Really? You, Rosemary’s father, allowed your princess to move into the quarters of the new man in her life?”Beto smiles satisfied, “I’m glad I didn’t have a heart attack like my father when Vera announced that she would remain married to Wallace even after he tried to r*pe her on their honeymoon.”Josias shook his head. “That was different, Beto. Vera was very foolish to have said that, which in the end, wasn’t even true. I imagine that she regrets to this day having caused your father’s death.”Beto nods, “Yes, you’re right. Anyway, my father always wanted better things for Vera.”“He shouldn’t have come up with that plan that complicated everything. I think the only good thing that came out of it was that you and Pamela had Rosemary.”Beto suddenly started cutting his filet mignon with extra strength. Josias still doesn’t know the trut
Building My Life Chapter 2836 Brigitte Is Caught In the Act
Caroline begins to research Patrick’s situation after her conversation with Reuben. After having lunch with her mother and grandmother, she went straight to the Teodoro Building.There, after being welcomed by Chris Brown’s song “Forever”, Beto welcomed her with a wide smile.“Hello, Carol! It’s always a pleasure to see you here. Have you ever felt intimidated by the favela?”“Why would I feel intimidated? This is where my father was reborn.” Caroline smiles gently.She looks at Teodoro’s homage portrait and continues, “And if it weren’t for your wonderful father, I might not even be alive today.”“My father is the best.” Beto grins, “Did you come to talk to Rosemary? She’s moving into the Lafayette Mansion, I don’t know if you know.”“She texted me, but I’m old school, preferring to discuss these matters in person.” Caroline jokes.In fact, having Rosemary send that text message became the perfect excuse for Caroline to show up.Going to Beto’s apartment, she found Teresa and Rosemar
Building My Life Chapter 2837 Overprotective Mother
Raymond and Brigitte don’t know how to explain to the others that they’re going to Victoria to talk to Pamela.Caroline, Rosemary, and Teresa are standing on the couch, waiting for an explanation.Raymond finishes chewing and swallowing the piece of the pie. “It’s delicious, Tess.”“The explanation will be delicious.” Teresa states, “The more you look scared, the more I feel like the story is good.”“Mrs. Reis, I’m sorry. It’s better to make things clear.” Brigitte apologizes.Rosemary begins to put the pieces together. “Brigitte, are you going to Victoria?”“Yes, Rose. I need to meet your mother to know for myself whether or not she deserves to come to our wedding.” Brigitte responds respectfully.“And you two agreed on this without talking to us.” Caroline crosses her arms.“Brigitte, believe what they say.” Teresa asks, “I haven’t lived with Pamela, but I know categorically that she doesn’t deserve your attention. I’ve never been curious to see for myself what she’s like.”“I think
Building My Life Chapter 2838 I Don’t Want to Be a Widow
At Crystal Blue, Daniela and Felipe had the scare of their lives.Reuben was standing in front of them.“What’s wrong, guys? Am I so handsome that I scare you?”“No one gets scared because of beauty, you creep!” Felipe gets up abruptly, “Get out of my restaurant NOW!”“Never. I need to straighten things out with you.” Reuben smiles slightly.Daniela already had her phone in hand, “I’m calling the police now...”Reuben, with the agility worthy of a Hollywood actor, snatches Daniela’s phone before she can dial Dylan.“HEY! Give me back my phone, you thief!”“I want to talk to you about the reason why you’re so scared. Where are the security cameras in here?” Reuben narrowed his eyes, “Felipe, do you prefer to have a WOMAN working with you here? And then I’m the retarded one, huh?”Felipe shakes his head. “You’re the one accusing yourself, not me. Besides, how could I have the courage to put a woman in danger?”“I’m working in here because the danger has passed.” Daniela asserts.“Passed
Building My Life Chapter 2839 Let This Matter Die
Josias and Melissa meet at the Rocha Constructions headquarters. The couple enters the boss’s office.“Do you want a drink, honey?” Josias points to the drinks table.“I’m still afraid of that table.” Melissa confesses, “Every time we meet here, you always point to that bottle.”“I just wanted to know if you wanted to relax a bit.” Josias kisses her cheek and goes to prepare a drink for them, “After all, you’ve been out and about all day.”“Of course, I needed to spread the news.” Melissa smiles, approaching him.“Nowadays we have something called cell phone, dear.” Josias jokes as he prepares two glasses of brandy.“Oh, but it’s much better when I see people’s surprised reactions.” Melissa takes her drink.Josias, however, starts putting the pieces together. “Um... What news have you been telling everyone about?”“What other news would there be, Josias?”“Our vacation to Cancun?”“No!” Melissa sips her drink, “The ceremony hall, for sure!”Josias does ‘PFFF’ and coughs violently.“Co

At Rocha Constructions, Josias keeps Alan in suspense about who will run the Rocha Hotel.“Son, why can’t you be happy that you’ll run the headquarters while I take a vacation?”“Don’t get me wrong, Dad.” Alan sits on the couch, “I want you and Mom to have a great time. You could go to Paris to visit Grandpa Vernon and Grandma Elza. But, I worry about the future of the hotel. Rocha Hotel is part of our legacy.”“Exactly.” Josias nods slightly.“So, you intend to leave someone who has no experience or age to run the most luxurious hotel in Lagoon City?” Alan raises one eyebrow.“Who are you talking about? David?” Josias chuckles, laughing nonstop.Alan is not offended, but relieved. “Oh, Dad, what a joke! You got me.”Josias stops laughing and takes a deep breath, “Sigh... I wasn’t joking. I never intended to leave David in charge. It was you who jumped to that hasty conclusion.”Alan gets up and goes to the drinks table. “After that, I need a drink to relax.”“Okay, help yourself. But
Building My Life Chapter 2841 The Slap
Josias and Melissa traveled to Cancun.With that, the command of Rocha Constructions was entirely in Alan’s hands.Caroline was restless in the mansion. She should have talked to Josias about Felipe and Daniela’s suspicions, but she was so furious that she decided not to worry her parents.David, the observant brother, tried to approach her.“Sis, I see you’re worried. What’s the problem?”“Don’t worry about me, David.” Caroline smiles and heads to the pool area, “Do you know who will be the general manager of the Rocha Hotel?”“I still don’t know. And I don’t even know if I should go to work today.” David grumbles, “Lauro Medeiros must be gloating, thinking he’s the one appointed.”“Alan was very calm yesterday. Which means it won’t be Mr. Medeiros.” Caroline chuckles.As they approached the pool, David also smiled. “Good for him. But it’s good to see you smile again, Carol.”Caroline sits on a lounger. “Why do you like me so much, David? You should hate me.”David sits next to his s

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,
Chapter 3228 Sarah Shouldn’t Have Let Her In
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
Chapter 3226 The Nickname as a Trigger
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
