Building My Life Chapter 1212 Children Are Innocent
When Frederick returns to the apartment, Josias is on the couch listening to the song “End of the Road”, by Boyz II Men, leaving him feeling more down and homesick.“Mr. Rocha, why all this depression? Put on a Country to cheer up, because I got the job!”Josias can only smile at one corner of his mouth, “I'm happy for you, Frederick. Was it at Crystal Blue?”“Yes. I won't exactly be a waiter, but I'll help where I can. I don't know what Mr. Mountain saw in me.”“He saw your sincerity, your charisma, and willingness to work hard. Your muscular body must have given him ideas.”“Anyway, that sad little face of yours is the one who misses the mistress?”Josias remembers the newspaper he threw out the window, “I don't know if I'll have a mistress when I return from the beyond.”Frederick gets embarrassed and decides not to talk about it anymore.******At Crystal Blue, everything is already clean, organized, and ready to receive customers. Kelvin and Daryl talk to each other.“The last bo
Building My Life Chapter 1213 Maggiezine's New Sensation
Wednesday. Pamela is playing with the knife in her hands instead of spreading strawberry jam on her homemade bread. Across the mahogany table, Miguel watches his wife thoughtfully.As in the Rocha penthouse, Miguel's house in Europe Garden also has a Georgian-style dining room.“Honey, what's going on in your little head?” Miguel asks her, “Was I too brusque and violent last night?”Pamela licks her lips as she remembers 'last night', “You were wonderful, honey, as always—” Pamela shakes her head, embarrassed, “Ehr...no, it's not about 'that'. By the way, I need to go to the drugstore before Theo and Rosemary have another sibling. I was thinking about Adrian's threat.”Miguel has a grim face, “What did that bratty bastard say?”“He joked that he wouldn't turn off the hospital devices that keep my mother alive, but he had such a devilish tone that I could have sworn he was serious,” Pamela answers in a shaky voice.Miguel gets angrier, “Has this idiot lost his mind?”“He was always aga
Building My Life Chapter 1214 Angela Charges the Child Support
Carmen and Tiago visit Moacyr and Cristina at the hospital. Moacyr continues to look carefully at his wife as if his gaze had the power to wake up Cristina. “Seu Moacyr, how are you?” Carmen asks. “I'm better, daughter.” Moacyr sighs, “And that's what revolts me.” “Why do you say that, sir?” Tiago asks. “Because I should be in a coma or six feet under the ground!” Moacyr can't hold back any longer and starts crying, “I was driving that damn car, I saw the car coming in the parallel direction and I couldn't stop. Worse, I don't even know if I tried to brake. And my wife was saying goodbye to you guys, without her seat belt. How could I be so careless?” Carmen hugs Moacyr to comfort him. Pamela arrives at this point with the offside order. “Oh, I hope I haven't come at a bad time.” “Come on, Pam.” Tiago makes room, “Seu Moacyr is much shaken.” “I hope I can lighten the mood.” Pamela smiles slightly and shakes the envelope, “Miguel has issued a court order to prevent Adrian from e

Igor is apprehensive when Angela charges a high amount of child support. Will Melissa pay? “Miss Sousa, I suggest you charge a moderate amount.” Angela takes offense, “Mrs. Rocha has no idea how much we spend with a baby? Didn't she have two children?” “Baby expenses, yes.” Igor quips, “But it looks like you want to guarantee money until your son turns 30!” Gustavo interjects, “Mr. Lawyer, if Josias were alive, he would pay child support until David is 18.” “I know that very well, don't teach a priest how to say Mass, little boy!” Igor gets angry. “So this is my price.” Angela cackles, “R$100,000.00 and I won't bother you anymore. In the future, I will look for a job to make things easier, and I hope my son has the same successful trajectory as his father.” “Except impregnating the luxury escort.” Igor scoffs getting up to leave. Angela was going to tell him to go to hell, but she shuts up in time, afraid of losing the deal. ****** Kelvin walks past the newsstand and its owne
Building My Life Chapter 1216 The Court Order Is in Effect
Maggie talks with a teenager's excitement that the new issue of her magazine is selling like crazy. “The whole town is drooling over my brother’s beauty, honey!” Maggie jumps up and down for joy, “We're going to have a new sales record!” Bernardo gets up and hugs his wife, “I'm happy to see you happy, my love.” Shirley enters Bernardo's office hearing the last sentence, “What about me? Don't I deserve to be happy too, Bernie?” Maggie feels her heart go cold when she hears her mother's hiss and immediately breaks the hug. Her face catches fire as she hears her mother so intimately, “Who authorized you to call my HUSBAND 'Bernie', you—” “MAGGIE!” Bernardo sternly warns her. Where was that sweet, honeyed wife from before? Shirley smiles, pleased to end the happiness in the room, and adds more fuel to the fire, “Bernie, didn't you promise me you wouldn't sexually exploit the image of my baby?” “What baby?” Maggie laughs, “Wake up, Mom! Kelvin is now twenty-eight, handsome, and hot,
Building My Life Chapter 1217 Moacyr Is Shocked

The Rocha Hotel was Josias’s promise.”“Wife, since that folk hates us, they won't build the hotel anymore to harm you, simple as that!”“Melissa doesn't hate us and she's the one in control.”“That Tiago Bento is the one who appears in the newspapers as responsible because the world is too sexist to recognize Melissa as the president of Rocha Constructions.” Vernon laughs evilly.Elza was going to cou

Reuben is in the office watching cartoons on the portable TV.In keeping with tradition, the radio is always on, this time playing “Bohemian Rhapsody”. After Freddie Mercury's death, Brazilian radio stations played this song again as a tribute.It is at this moment that Benjamin enters tired from school and yesterday's journey.“Little sister, is there aspirin on the counter?”“I have it in the first-aid cabinet that is in the office.” Flávia turns down the volume on the radio so as not to disturb her stepbrother.“School made me impatient today. The Portuguese teacher wants me to read Machado de Assis for a school project.”“I think this fatigue is due to the restaurant.” Flávia approaches him, “If you want my advice, it's better to take it easy.”“Well, sis, you know how things work: when you're a new employee, you have to show your best sel

Nobody here will fight!”“He disrespected you, Melissa!” Adrian yells.“And who are you, the knight in silver armor to save the maiden?” Kelvin questions him ironically.Frederick holds back not punching Adrian because of Josias. He pretends he doesn't hear the fight and passes them by unnoticed.Adrian takes a deep breath and calms down to impress Melissa, “Okay, I'll pretend Melissa wasn't disrespected. Book me a table.”“Mrs. Rocha has reserved the last!” Kelvin lies, seething with rage. There are still seven tables available.“I hope it's a table for two because we're going to have lunch together.” Adrian turns to Melissa, “What do you think, Melissa?”“It's all right.” Melissa 'agrees' after the crazy person invites himself.Kelvin makes the reservation, fe

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,
