Building My Life Chapter 3163 The Difference Between Good and Evil
The morning at Lafayette Supermarket was calmier as the crew wrapped up the filming of a commercial. Rodrigo, ever the charismatic host, beamed at the camera with his signature charm.“And don’t forget,” he said enthusiastically, “the best prices can only be found here at Lafayette Supermarket!”“Cut!” the director called out.Contrary to what some might expect, Rodrigo’s radiant smile didn’t fade as soon as the cameras stopped rolling. He maintained his warm demeanor as he approached Nadia.“Sweetheart, what was that outburst with our customers?” he asked with a teasing lilt.Nadia, still flustered, huffed. “The years go by, but you remain as handsome as ever. I have to protect what’s mine.”Rodrigo chuckled, his eyes twinkling. “You have nothing to worry about anymore.”Pulling her into a loving embrace, he kissed her. As they parted, Thierry approached, clapping Rodrigo on the back.“That was great, Rod! You still got it.”Rodrigo smirked. “It’s like riding a bike. But the day will
Building My Life Chapter 3164 An Exciting Scoop
Josias sat comfortably in his executive chair, reviewing printed spreadsheets when a hesitant knock interrupted his focus. The door creaked open slowly, and Tony cautiously peeked in.“Mr. Rocha?” he asked, his voice uncertain.Josias barely looked up. “Speak, Tony.”“Do I still have my job?”That made Josias pause, lifting his eyes in surprise. “And why would I fire you?”Tony hesitated. “I don’t know... talking about your son seems to make you nervous.”Josias let out a reassuring smile to ease the secretary’s nerves. “You won’t be punished for that. Now, tell me.”“He’s at the reception, causing quite a commotion.”Josias kept his smile, but inside, he had the sudden urge to throw something out the office window. “Send him in.”Tony nodded and quickly left. Only then did Josias’ expression darken.The adjacent door swung open, and Alan appeared. “Dad, I—”“Oh no, son! David is on his way up.”Alan’s expression turned incredulous. “Why the hell did you let that happen?!”“He’s proba
Building My Life Chapter 3165 Accident at Lafayette Supermarket
Panic and terror erupted at the Lafayette Supermarket as customers ran and screamed in desperation. Mothers carried their children, who were shrieking in fear, out of the store. The housewives who had swooned over Rodrigo were now calling their husbands, horrified, thinking it was a terrorist attack. Some people lay unconscious on the floor, blood pooling beneath them. Outside, warehouse workers were running in such frenzy. One of the trucks from Fazenda Bezerra had lost control and crashed through one of the supermarket walls. The impact was so powerful that the truck BURST through the wall, creating a deafening noise and toppling shelves filled with drinks. Customers near those shelves were knocked to the ground, with bottles of brandy, wine, and cases of beer falling on top of them. “Oh no, how HORRIBLE!” Nadia exclaimed, equally horrified. Unable to bear the tension any longer, she fainted, just as Thierry caught her in time. “I’ll check it out!” Rodrigo offered, moving clos
Building My Life Chapter 3166 David Burned His Chances
Dylan and his men cordoned off the damaged area of the Lafayette Supermarket, ushering onlookers away before the supermarket structure harmed anyone else. The injured were transported by ambulance to General Hospital. Nadia was taken home. Thierry and Rodrigo remained nearby, answering questions.“Rod, you can go back to the cafeteria if you want,” Thierry suggested inside the management office.“I’ve been around and checked the truck. I need to give my testimony,” Rodrigo replied.Dylan entered the management office, finding the two gentlemen there.“Well, has anyone found the driver?” Dylan asked seriously.“He’s being questioned by one of your men outside,” Thierry said as he approached the blinds and pulled them back.He could see from a distance the pale and frightened truck driver, swearing his innocence while Dylan’s subordinate merely took note of what he said with an indifferent expression.Dylan broke the silence, “At most, Josias Junior will have to bear the costs. The info

At Crystal Blue, the patrons who show up for lunch are discussing the truck accident at the Lafayette Supermarket. Suzy walks in, finding Jake at his post as maître d’.“Jake, how are the investigations into the accident going? It’s all anyone talks about on the streets.”Jake shook his head. “They say the truck driver forgot to engage the handbrake. The truck was empty when it crashed into the wall. No one died – so far.”“What a horror.” Suzy took a deep breath, focusing on why she was there. “Has Luís arrived yet?”Felipe passes by and is startled when Suzy casually asks about Luís.“Suzy, are you going to have lunch or go out with Luís Vasquez?”Suzy turned to him, smiling affectionately. “That’s right. I need to keep him informed that I plan to invest in his uncles’ company.”“Don’t you think it would be better to talk about this with Mrs. Vasquez or Sofia Rocha?” Felipe asked, trying not to sound jealous.“I don’t think they like me; I can’t imagine why.” Suzy scratched her fore
Building My Life Chapter 3168 A Toast to Friendship
Neilton and Beto enter Café Montanha. Neilton’s helpers breathe a sigh of relief at the return of their supervisor. “We thought you got run over by that out-of-control truck!” “Not this time, Phil!” Neilton laughed as he went behind the counter. “I’m perfectly fine. I just picked up a lost box from my old apartment.” Beto pointed to the display case, where baked cheese and ham pastries mesmerized the customers. “But now you’re one of my happy tenants. Give me that pastry, please.” Neilton served the pastry but teased, “Does your wife know you’re eating cheese and ham?” “That stays between us.” Beto chuckled. He grabbed the pastry, but just as he was about to take the first bite... “ROBERTO REIS!” Beto nearly had a heart attack—figuratively—and looked toward the entrance. Josias approached him, in a good mood. “Does your wife know you’ve been sneaking pastries?” “Baked pastry, please. There’s not a drop of soybean oil in here.” Beto pretended to be offended. He just wanted to
Building My Life Chapter 3169 He’s Back
On the cover of the LCN newspaper, the headline blared in bold letters: HE’S BACK.Below it, a colorized and enlarged photo of Luís Vasquez toasting with Suzy Cogo.Jake had seen the annoying and intrusive photographer, so he left his post as maître to chase down the miscreant.But the photographer seemed to be a disciple of Batman or Peter Parker because he vanished without a trace.At the Vasquez Mansion, tensions were running high. Luís intended to take revenge against his aunt, but now, this issue had postponed the main concern.Olivia was reacting hysterically, not because of the article itself, but because it was Suzy — and not her...“This is OUTRAGEOUS!” Olivia neighed, disturbing the peace of everyone at the breakfast table.Erasmo, filled with rage, ripped the newspaper into shreds, throwing the pieces to the floor, confident that the servants would clean up the mess afterward.“We need to fight back.” Erasmo said, panting like a Spanish bull.Alan shook his head. “I can’t g
Building My Life Chapter 3170 A Spanish Bull
Bernardo approaches Erasmo and leads him to the nearest chair. Maggie served him a glass of cold water. She said, “Calm down, Mr. Vasquez. You’re hyperventilating.” Erasmo grabs the glass of water and drinks it eagerly. “Ah, thank you... phew, I really needed this miraculous glass of water. Where were we?” Bernardo scratches the back of his neck. “You called me ‘Bernie’ and asked for a cover story...” “Ah, yes, about Suzy being my business partner.” Erasmo smiled mischievously. “Did Suzy agree to such a story, Mr. Vasquez?” Maggie asked cautiously. “No, but that’s what the surprise is for, right?” Erasmo winked. “I want to surprise this bunch of fools who’s been whispering nasty things about the poor girl and the real reason she had lunch with Luis.” Bernardo and Maggie exchange awkward glances. Bernardo opined, “Aren’t they in a relationship?” “No, Suzy wants to date Felipe Mountain. Well, they could have been dating if it weren’t for João Paulo Queiroz’s disgusting articles

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
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—”
