Building My Life Chapter 1191 The Newspaper Photo
Father Mathias continues, “With faith in God and the strength of his fists, Josias Rocha built a full and prosperous life for himself. From a few reais in his pocket to a bank account containing infinite zeros, Josias Rocha became an important part of Silva Constructions until he fully owned it and renamed the company with his last name.”Everaldo remains uncomfortable with the posthumous honors given to Josias. Something inside him said it wasn't the end...“Josias was also very fortunate in love. A wife, children, a devoted mother, and a younger brother who looks up to him. Josias will be missed, but the mark he left on the world will never be erased.”“It won't go out because he's still alive!” Everaldo can't take it anymore and bursts into the wake, catching everyone's eye.João Paulo gets up and yells wildly, “Where were you, you wizard? Why didn't you stop my brother from dying?”“Son, take it easy.” Elza tries to pull him back into the seat.Father Mathias is confused, “Excuse

The Bezerra family doctor leaves Josias's room at the same time that Katherine wants to come in with the newspaper. She murders the doctor with her gaze because of his permission for Josias to return home.“My dad waits for you in his studio to pay you,” she growls.The doctor walks away without understanding why Miss Bezerra is bitter and sour.Katherine slams the door so hard that Josias has a bad feeling.“Hey, what's up, Kate?”She disguises her irritation by pretending she's like this because of the newspaper, “That's what happened!”Katherine throws the newspaper into Josias's lap. He picks it up and reads it...And he loses all the color in her face as if he were really in the coffin being veiled.“What does that mean? My funeral? Who told my family that I died?”“After so long without meeting you, they must have come to that conclusion.” Katherine plays dumb.“But this is unacceptable! I need to get back, I need to undo this mis—”Josias's face in white turns red.He saw the p

Moacyr and Cristina are displeased when they see Adrian's unwelcome presence.“Son, respect to my fiancée,” Moacyr demands with a frown.But, Adrian becomes more petulant, “I will have no respect for this witch, ever!”“Enough!” Cristina walks away, “I'm not going to stand here listening to insults!”“Stay right where you are, you slut!” Adrian bellows at the top of his lungs, “You're nothing but a slum dweller, you don't have rights or privileges like me!”“Who are you calling a slut?” Out of nowhere, Raymond appears and grabs Adrian by the shoulder, making him turn to face him.An accurate punch is delivered to Adrian, causing him to stumble backward.Moacyr interposes between the two, “Hey, no fighting here!”Raymond is outraged, “What do you mean? This idiot is insulting your fiancée and you do nothing?”“I'm not in the mood to create scandal in the building where my fiancée works.” Moacyr asserts.“Then kick that worm out of here! I will not tolerate this behavior!” Raymond dodge

Katherine breaks into a sweat as she imagines herself in the same bed as Josias, screaming in pleasure and pain as he brutally, savagely, and sickeningly possesses her.However, she just says, “We'll be waiting for you at seven o'clock.”“Are you sure your dad is going to allow me into his living room without my underwear under my dress pants?” Josias insists on provoking and fanning Katherine's impure desires.“Tomorrow we provide something!” Katherine doesn't face Josias.“It's not very difficult. Your maid just needs to take the same measurements she took to sew the pants.” Josias responds as if insulting the intelligence of the Bezerra family maid.Katherine takes the hint and strides out of Josias's room.When she slams the door, she scowls, “Today you'll still be naked, Josias, and with me!”******Melissa crosses Main Square with shopping bags. In the opposite direction, Kelvin performs his jog, already sweaty. He slows down to meet Melissa.“Mrs. Rocha! Can I have a minute of

Dinner normally takes place at the Bezerra farm. Josias is delighted with the lamb loin and the tropeiro beans.However, his wine glass remains intact.“Aren't you going to drink the wine, Josias?” Katherine urges him, “It comes from a good vintage.”“Do you make your own wine?” Josias asks as if he is interested.“Yes, and we are very proud of it,” Ephraim responds with his cocked chest.“I'm asking it because of my future hotel.” Josias responds excitedly, “Imagine if we struck a deal to serve your wine to my guests?”“Wow, that would be great!” Katherine responds only to cover up.If their plan works, Josias will never return to Lagoon City, so he can forget about the hotel and all.“Well, for that you need to taste my wine to see if it's worthy of being in your pantry.” Ephraim cleverly suggests consumption.Josias chuckles and finally takes the cup to drink.Wow! Josias didn't know if the wine was grape juice or alcohol!Josias had never drunk such strong and concentrated wine in

“DAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDYYYYY!!”Ephraim runs still in tacky pajamas from his room to the guest room when he hears his dear daughter's crazy scream.If last night he didn't want to open the door when his daughter was being brutally possessed by Josias, now he breaks down the door like Indiana Jones.Katherine's face is expressing panic and terror. She's wrapped in the blankets and is now able to lean back against the headboard.“DAUGHTER, what the hell happened to you?” Ephraim asks this foolish question.“Where is he, daddy, where is my husband?”“What are you talking about?”“I woke up and he's not here!” Katherine cries like a little girl, even though yesterday she was moaning and screaming like a mature woman.Ephraim calms down, “Ah, daughter, is that it? Surely your husband is in the bathroom cleaning himself.”“The window was closed yesterday!” Katherine points to the open window.Ephraim frowns, not understanding what Katherine is getting at. He goes to the window.Their house is on

Melissa welcomes Cristina and Moacyr to the Rocha penthouse. When they go to the living room, Elza is on the couch with a cup of tea in her hand. The radio plays “I Adore Mi Amor” by Color Me Badd.“Have a seat, folks.” Melissa sits in the armchair that belonged to Josias.“Melissa, we came to announce that the wedding has been postponed until next year,” Cristina announces.“Guys, what is that?” Melissa doesn't agree, “You can't deny yourselves happiness because of something that happened to me.”“What happened to you affects all of us.” Moacyr replies, “I miss that good guy.”Elza smiles slightly, “Josias always spoke well of you as his father, much better than Tony.”“Thank you, Mrs. Queiroz. We take this opportunity to extend our condolences.”Melissa wants to stick to the main subject, “Moacyr and Cristina, you must continue with the preparations. More so, I intend to attend.”“Wouldn't it be painful for you to be surrounded by so many happy people?” Cristina questions her, worri

The next day, Igor opens the door to the Rocha Constructions meeting room and smiles to find the audience in their seats.Melissa, Simeon, Dora, William, Elza, João Paulo, Vernon, and Uélton eagerly await the reading of the will.“Let's get on with it, I have an interview scheduled,” Vernon grumbles rudely.“We are about to begin at the appointed time indicated by the widow, Mr. Queiroz.” Igor scolds him, “If the schedule doesn't match your commitments, you can leave.”“And miss the party? Never.” Vernon responds by trying to be funny, but it only makes those present more embarrassed.Igor sits in the presidential chair, “Well, gentlemen, here is the will that Josias had written before he died. He intended to modify it, but unfortunately, he passed away before doing so. Therefore, it is this one that will be in force.”Everyone nods.Igor removes the pages from the brown envelope and begins to read, “I, Josias Rocha, in full possession of my mental faculties, am writing this will with

Chapter 3237 Mary’s Quinceañera (1)
That evening, the Rocha Events Hall was elegantly lit, and the soft sound of a waltz floated through the air.It was a joint celebration for Ignacio and Mary Campos Mountain. But more than just a birthday party, it marked Mary’s fifteenth birthday — her quinceañera.Because of that, the entire hall had been reserved for this important and unforgettable occasion.At the center of it all, Mary danced gracefully in a flowing, elegant pink gown that made her look like a miniature bride. Her dance partner, a close friend of sixteen, guided her with surprising poise.Around them, seven other couples glided across the floor, including Ignacio, who partnered with a girl from a well-known family. Henrique, as the cousin of the twins, also had his partner following the waltz.From the sidelines, Kelvin and Karen watched the scene with quiet pride, while Melissa and Josias — especially Melissa, mother of the birthday twins — took in the moment with emotion.“Look at your daughter,” Josias whispe
Chapter 3236 Support Your Wife
In the Mountain Penthouse living room, the atmosphere was far from serene. The heated discussion between Suzy and her boyfriend’s family showed no sign of calming down.“I can’t believe this!” Suzy exclaimed, her voice tight with indignation. “You all actually think I’m in love with Luís Vasquez!”Karen raised an eyebrow, her tone biting. “You’re not?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Suzy barked back. “I’m in love with Felipe — I love him!”Kelvin, unmoved, folded his arms. “Just not as much as you love your money and your... ‘investments.’”Diane lifted a hand, hoping to bring reason to the conversation. “Suzy, I’ve turned a deaf ear to all the gossip about you. I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane... I don’t know why Felipe insists on believing the lies João Paulo QUEIRÓS keeps spinning!”Daryl’s expression darkened. “So the problem lies with the journalist, then. Looks like I’ll have to deal with
Chapter 3235 I Don’t Want Cursed Money
The Mountain Penthouse living room was filled with tension that morning. Everyone was taken aback as the truth behind the fight that had sent Felipe to the hospital came to light.“Well, if that’s how it is...” Daryl began, clearly processing the news.Diane, urgent to defend her son, jumped in. “But wait, why exactly did Felipe and Luís decide to fight?”Suzy’s lips curled into a sly smile. It was time to drop the bomb.“According to my uncle Eugenio,” she began, “Felipe barged into his office and announced that he wanted to break up with me — because my uncle was happy about me being featured on the cover of Maggiezine.”Everyone looked even more stunned.“Wait, what does that have to do with anything?” Kelvin asked, frowning.Suzy explained, “Felipe saw my uncle thanking Luís for sort of encouraging me to accept the interview with Maggie.”Daryl exhaled sharply. “So my son just had a jealous outburst. That’s all it was.”Diane shrugged. “He wasn’t serious about breaking up with you
Chapter 3234 The Girlfriend Showed Up
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,
