Building My Life Chapter 3131 Sharing Secrets
At General Hospital, Sofia enters Olivia’s room and finds her mother awake, talking with her father. “Mom...” “My dear daughter...” Olivia’s eyes are filled with tears. “Don’t cry so much, Mom.” Sofia stepped closer, emotional. “It’s so good to have you back.” “Your father said Alan had to travel... Vernon Queiroz...” “I know, it’s sad news.” Sofia replied absentmindedly, “But Alan will be happy when he returns and finds you alive and better.” “Yes, my grandson A.J. needs me. Where is he?” “Engrácia is taking care of him.” Erasmo stands up. “Sit here, daughter. I’ll leave you two to talk.” “Thank you, Dad.” Erasmo and Sofia switch seats. Olivia waits for Erasmo to leave and close the door. “Mom, what’s with that look? It seems like you want to tell me a secret...” “I WANT to tell you a secret.” Olivia looked at her daughter with distress. “Shh... Don’t be one of those people who want to confess sins because the time is coming. You are NOT dying today, do you hear me?” So
Building My Life Chapter 3132 Breaking Barriers
At General Hospital, Sofia is horrified when Olivia shares a dark secret. “MOM!” Her eyes are welling with tears. “Is that why you felt so much about Luís leaving...?” “Yes, dear. I wanted him back. Having Luís away from me is a constant reminder of what we did! I didn’t even get a chance to talk to him honestly... the poor thing must be hiding out in Spain, refusing to come back here because he feels guilty!” Clearly, Olivia is hiding the “little” detail that she had been harboring sinful desires for her nephew for years. Sofia swallows hard. “Mom, it could be something else. Maybe Luís confessed to my uncle and aunt, and now they’re forbidding him from coming back.” “But they would’ve told Erasmo when he called!” Olivia exclaims, horrified by the possibility. “What if my uncle is emotionally blackmailing Luís with that?” Sofia suggests. “If Luís doesn’t return to Brazil, his secret would be safe. If Luís comes back here, my uncle would tell everything to my dad.” The multi-pa
Building My Life Chapter 3133 Opening of the Melissa Mall (1)
The inauguration of the Melissa Mall took place on a Saturday. As a result, many people who would normally be working took the opportunity to celebrate yet another historic achievement in Josias Rocha’s legacy. A crowd of admirers stopped in front of the creatively designed two-story mall, shaped like the letter ‘M.’ When the people saw the aerial photo, they playfully marveled. “He, he... the mall is shaped like the letter ‘M,’ how creative!” “M for ‘Mall’ and ‘Melissa.’” “That Josias Rocha is truly in love with his wife. That’s why the concubines he finds never stand a chance!” David walked past the group gossiping about this, frowning. He would never consider his mother as a ‘replacement,’ ‘concubine,’ or ‘the other woman.’ The project team was dressed appropriately. J.J. spotted David approaching with the same frown from a distance and stopped him, “Where do you think you’re going, man?” “Get out of my way, J.J.!” “No way! You’re not passing without smiling for the cam
Building My Life Chapter 3134 Opening of the Melissa Mall (2)
Thus, the Reis and Lafayette families appeared at the opening of the Melissa Mall as planned. Caio approached them, noticing the absence of the patriarch.“Hey, where’s Beto?”“My dad had a slight discomfort when he buttoned his shirt and felt it tightening on him,” Pedro explained.“Oh, Jeez, is he okay?” Brigitte asked, extremely worried.“Yes, he’s going to watch the ceremony at home with Tess,” Rosemary replied.“Oh, what a relief. Look, you brought Jean Luc!” Brigitte leaned over the stroller.Thierry smiled with paternal pride. Jean Luc, in turn, was sleeping despite all the noise and commotion from the adults.“He wakes up wanting to eat in the early morning,” Rosemary joked, causing laughter among the women.Daniela stepped back a bit, thinking about the possibility of becoming a mother herself.Diane noticed her and approached her. “What’s wrong, Daniela? Are you yearning to be a mother too? With someone big and virile like Pete, it shouldn’t be too hard...”Daniela pursed he
Building My Life Chapter 3135 Opening of the Melissa Mall (3)
David, the one who swore not to embarrass others and even mocked some, was now the one causing the biggest mess by attacking William.Everyone around was shocked by the scene, hearing Rosemary’s scream.Thierry, who was still nearby, was the first to stop David.Other men rushed to help, separating the fight.Daryl had the presence of mind to position himself behind William just as he was falling.Photographers from Maggiezine and LCN were reveling in taking pictures, capturing every detail of the moment!“That was close, buddy!” Daryl exclaimed, saving William from another fall.“Mr. Mountain... Daryl...” Dora approached with tear-filled eyes. “Thank you so much! If Will had fallen again... his leg...”“He could end up paralyzed, in a wheelchair!” Simeon exclaimed furiously. “What happened here?”David glared at everyone. “Maybe your son shouldn’t provoke others if h
Building My Life Chapter 3136 Take Control of Your Life!
Days went by. Melissa Mall became one of the most visited commercial spots by tourists and locals alike.It also turned into a quite profitable venture!Due to high demand, the ‘Jobs’ section of the LCN newspaper doubled in size, exciting the unemployed.The lower class was one of the beneficiaries in terms of jobs and income.In the Teodoro Building, a tenant excitedly said to Daniela, “I got a job, I got a job! I’ll be a saleswoman at an international luxury store!”Daniela raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Really? But do you have any experience as a saleswoman in international luxury?”The tenant, a young lady in her twenties, shrugged. “They are desperately in need of workers, right? They can’t afford to be too picky. And how will I gain experience if they never give me the opportunity?”“You’re right, girl! Everything
Building My Life Chapter 3137 In Memoriam, Vernon Queiroz
At the Vasquez Mansion, Sofia was playing with A.J. on the floor of her suite. “Missing Daddy, little one?” Sofia asked as she encouraged her son to walk toward her. A.J. made his way over, planting kisses on his mother’s cheek, full of playfulness. “Yes, I miss him too...” Sofia laughed and laughed. Her phone rang, and she checked the caller ID. “Look who’s calling!” Sofia exclaimed excitedly as she answered. “Hello, darling! A.J. and I were just talking about you...” In Alan’s guest room, he replied somberly, “Dear, unfortunately, it has happened.” “Your grandfather...?” “It was truly his time to go.” Alan sighed in mourning. “Oh, darling, I’m so sorry! Your dad and João Paulo must be devastated, especially João Paulo and Elza!” Sofia stood up from the floor. “Yes, everyone is sad, but trying to accept that this is part of life. João Paulo is speaking with all the press contacts. Someone from LCN will replace him in the column because he doesn’t want to write about his fat
Building My Life Chapter 3138 I Need to Be Ruthless
Days later, newsstands sold the Maggiezine with Vernon Queiroz on the cover. Thierry had found a photo of Vernon from the 90s, back when he was publishing Josias’s biography. He looked younger and smiled brightly at that time.He took care of the restoration and remastering. The result was the same as always: a hit in sales and online traffic.At Lafayette Mansion, he commented to the others at the breakfast table, “Modesty aside, but I really nailed the photo editing, huh?”Rodrigo was reading the magazine and was sitting across from Thierry. “Wait your turn to read, brother-in-law.”Nadia leaned to the side. “Oh, but we’re curious— WOW, bro, how did you get that photo from their wedding? Elza looks so beautiful...”Rosemary smiled, reminiscing. “When they showed up here in Lagoon City, I had just been born. João Paulo was already ten years old.”Nadia concluded, “So that photo is from the 70s. Look at Vernon, with all black hair and sideburns...”“Are you guys going to let me read i

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, “
Chapter 3246 Courted by Every Man in Lagoon City
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
Chapter 3244 Taken by the CEO’s Son
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
Chapter 3243 Nobody’s Calling the Cops
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—”
