Building My Life Chapter 3181 Josias Has a Good Memory
Sarah Paes is Brazilian and never gives up. Here she is, walking through the halls of Rocha Constructions, her smile lit up by a charismatic grin, with an elegant canvas bag filled with resumes. She looked like a sower spreading the seed of love across the barren fields of this world. As she approached Tony’s desk, she smiled as she pulled out yet another resume, taking care not to let the papers get wrinkled inside her bag. “Good morning! I came to leave my resume for the assistant position,” she said. “Huh? Beautiful young lady, there is no assistant position.” Tony tried to explain gently. “The job openings are posted on our official website. You can apply there and fill out your information.” “These days, everything is computerized, right?” Sarah commented, maintaining her stance. “That’s right, it’s to make life easier for young ladies like you,” Tony played along. “I can tell you’ve been walking in this scorching sun, handing out resumes.” “Thank you, but I need to show th
Building My Life Chapter 3182 Beto Says Goodbye
Sarah reenters the Teodoro Building. She found a commotion in the lobby, which seemed to be a farewell.Beto, Teresa, and Maycon were packed and hugging Pedro and Daniela goodbye.“Dad, are you sure you’re doing the right thing?” Pedro asked with an emotional voice.“Finally handing over the reins of the building to you?” Beto asked, smiling as he looked around. “Yes, I am. You’re ready, Pete.”Teresa nodded with a sigh. “We’ll miss you, we’ll feel nostalgic, but you understand, right?”Sarah approached them. “Excuse me... Is Mr. Reis leaving?”Daniela confirmed, “Yes, Sarah. They decided to live near Vera, his sister, because of his health.”“It was great while it lasted, but I need to move on with the years I have left.” Beto turned to the wall where his father’s portrait, the legendary Teodoro Reis, hung. Next to it was a picture of him taken years ago, when his hair was still black. Now, Beto showed gray strands, and the vigor of youth was fading.Josias appeared, taking advantage
Building My Life Chapter 3183 Josias’ Helping Hand
At Café Montanha, Neilton was tending the counter while Rodrigo was in the kitchen. Some baked goods were in the oven while Rodrigo monitored the coffee maker.“Yeah... Beto Reis is leaving after many years here.”Nadia nodded sadly. “Rose is at the building, saying goodbye to her dad. He will be missed.”Suddenly, the couple heard voices.“They’re inside.” Neilton was saying.“Thank you.” It was Maggie’s voice. Then she entered. “Hi, everyone! Can someone confirm if what I’m hearing is just gossip?”“If I can help...” Rodrigo joked.“Well, it’s about Beto Reis?” Nadia jumped in. “It’s not gossip. He is indeed moving to Belo Horizonte to be closer to family. Pete will take over the building.”Maggie nodded. “I’m aware of that and plan to run an article in the Maggiezine. But I’m referring to Erasmo and Olivia Vasquez.”Nadia smiled teasingly. “PFF... no, that’s not gossip either. Erasmo and Olivia are apparently traveling to Spain.”“Why did I sense emphasis on ‘apparently’?” Maggie a
Building My Life Chapter 3184 Pedro Keeps the Tradition
Sarah is in her apartment, watching the activity in the slum from her balcony. Her room, interestingly, had the same layout as Josias and Jeremiah’s rooms: rectangular. Right at the entrance was the sofa and a shelf containing the TV, radio, books, and other items. Further in, there was space for a stove, refrigerator, sink, and water filter. The only difference is that her apartment had its own bathroom, unlike the 80s. Sarah didn’t need much; after all, she was single. Sarah’s phone rang, and she hurried to the bed where the device was vibrating. Upon answering, she sat on the mattress. “Hello?” “Hello, this is Karen Britton Mountain.” Karen replied from the counter of Cardozo store. “Am I speaking with Sarah Paes? You left a resume here.” “Yes, I dropped it off last week!” Sarah exclaimed excitedly. “Well, I’m calling to invite you for a job interview. A position has opened up here; would you be interested?” “What kind of question is that? Of course, I’m interested! Where
Building My Life Chapter 3185 Let’s Talk About the Second Topic
Teodoro Building, the next day. Pedro and Daniela are in the lobby, attending to their tasks. Pedro checks on who is defaulting on rent while Daniela sweeps the floor. Some tenants pass by and greet them. Sarah is the next to come down, wearing a stylish gray suit. “Good morning, Reis family!” “Good morning, Sarah,” Daniela replied. “Wow, that suit looks great on you.” “Thank you. I finally got a job. Consider the next rent payment taken care of,” Sarah commented, beaming. Pedro pointed to the computer. “That’s good, I was getting worried.” “PETE!” Daniela lightly scolded him, causing Sarah to laugh. “Well, I need to go.” Sarah positioned herself at the gate. Pedro pressed the button to open the electronic gate. But someone took the opportunity to come in: Felipe. Felipe almost bumped into Sarah as he entered. “Oh, excuse me... you left a resume at Crystal Blue the other day, didn’t you?” “Yes, thank you for your attention,” Sarah replied, somewhat annoyed at being reminded
Building My Life Chapter 3186 This Year We Won’t Be Broke
At the Teodoro Building, the situation was quite embarrassing for Felipe, Daniela, and Pedro. Pedro stepped out from behind the counter and approached his wife. “Aren’t you tired of embarrassing yourself, Felipe?” “Isn’t it true that you’re now dating Suzy Cogo?” Daniela narrowed her eyes. Felipe smiled mischievously at Daniela. “It’s too late for you to regret it, Daniela.” “Who told you I’m—” Daniela shook her head. “Oh, that’s what you get for arguing with crazy people! Where’s the broom?” Daniela grabbed the broom and threatened to hit Felipe with it. He dodged. “Hey, calm down! Why can’t you talk civilly in this place?” “In this place? Are you suggesting we lack civility?” Pedro crossed his arms. “I didn’t come to fight. I just wanted—” Felipe gestured. “To disturb our peace!” Pedro grabbed Felipe by the sleeve of his shirt. “And guess what: you succeeded!” Pedro, in a robust, manly gesture, removed Felipe, pushing and dragging him out without mercy. “Wait, WAIT!” Feli
Building My Life Chapter 3187 Feeding the Stress
Pedro entered Café Montanha, finding Rodrigo and Neilton.“Good morning, Pete! How about a little cup of coffee...” Neilton interrupted himself, noticing the stormy expression on his friend and landlord’s face. “Or should we go with chamomile tea?”“Bring me some tea that has the strongest effect to calm my nerves, please, Neil!” Pedro slumped down on the stool.“Tough day, and it’s not even noon yet, Pete?” Rodrigo tried to help.“You don’t know the half of it. My dad just moved out, and Felipe showed up at the building, apparently wanting to know how we were doing!” Pedro slammed his fist on the counter, startling the owner.“Uh... maybe Felipe just wanted to check on you...” Rodrigo ventured a suggestion.“He knows I want him far away from my dad’s building!” Pedro replied aggressively.Neilton returned from the kitchen with the aforementioned chamomile tea. “It wasn’t made recently, but it’s still warm.”“Thanks.” Pedro took a few sips. “What do I do, Rod? After all, he’s your cou
Building My Life Chapter 3188 A Matter of Treatment Pronouns
At the Mountain Penthouse, Daryl and William were huddled over the desk, checking the accounting. Cheese puffs and coffee were available as promised.“So, how are things?” Daryl asked, breaking the silence and picking up his cup.“It’s funny.” William pointed to a page. “As October and November approach, there’s a big withdrawal of money in the ‘revenue’ section.”Daryl smiled maliciously, sipping and putting the cup back in its saucer. “I’m telling you, man: the Vasquez ladies usually withdraw money from the company’s profits to blow on shopping, using Christmas as an excuse.”“But that would be very irresponsible, don’t you think?” William scratched his neck. “How has Erasmo never stopped something like this?”“Why would he want to conflict with his spendthrift wife and daughter?” Daryl asked sourly. “Much easier for him to accuse you of breaking his ribs and getting a loan through emotional blackmail.”William shook his head in disdain. “It’s times like these that I prefer to stay

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—”
