Building My Life Chapter 1217 Moacyr Is Shocked
Thursday. At Vernon's, he's lounging around in his armchair, smoking cigars he bought on his credit card, still in his pajamas and slippers, in no mood to leave the house.His radio plays “Finally” by Ce Ce Peniston.Elza approaches him, “Did you finally find a job?”“No, darling.” Vernon sucks the cigar and puffs, “Since nobody wants to hire me, I'm going to relax!”“But what about our bills?” Elza gets angry, “The hotel is not ready yet!”“They didn't even build the foundation.” Vernon scoffs at his wife, “If you wait for these people, you'll be unemployed forever.”“This is not true. 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
Building My Life Chapter 1218 Elza Has Expectations
With the accident (or attack) of Cristina and Moacyr, Flávia started to take care of Teodoro's Building, since she has nothing important to do. 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
Building My Life Chapter 1219 Machismo in the Workplace
Melissa is upset to see the possibility of two gentlemen fighting over her.At this moment, Frederick appears to work and witnesses the discussion.Melissa interposes between Adrian and Kelvin, “You guys, stop and get over it! 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
Building My Life Chapter 1220 Discovering the Enemy
As if sensing that William was being sexist to his own aunt, Simeon has kinda discomfort while having lunch with Uélton and Adolfo at the construction site.“What is it, Simeon?” Adolfo notices him restless.“My son keeps complaining that Tiago Bento called Melissa to help him in the presidency of Rocha Constructions.”“He did this so Melissa wouldn't be in the penthouse with depression all the time.” Uélton sums up the whole story.“The problem is that Will thinks he should be in charge because he was in the same position as Josias before he was president,” Simeon responds with embarrassment.“Ah, but he will finish the SENAI course this year,” Adolfo remembers this detail.“It's not just that.” Simeon continues, “He still hasn't forgiven Josias for what happened and he lives to insult his memory. There will be a day when Melissa will scold him severely.”At this, Uélton drops his fork on the floor, “What a...! This is already too much! I need to talk to this guy!”“Take it easy, Uél
Building My Life Chapter 1221 New Job
In the hospital lounge, Carmen is being cared for by a nurse while Tiago talks to Amoreira in a confidential tone.“I thought you told your wife.” Amoreira accuses him.“There's so much going on in our lives that I forget about some things.” Tiago scratches the back of his head.“Well, next time, make a note in your diary: ‘reveal to my wife who tried to kill my mother-in-law.’”Tiago purses his lips, not taking the joke well. Carmen starts to wake up.“Gentlemen, the patient is reacting.” The nurse informs them and gets up.“Carmen, how are you, my love?” Tiago approaches her.“Tiago... what a horrible thing...”Tiago sits next to his wife, “Forgive me for not telling you sooner.”“Does Pam know?”“No, I didn't tell her either.”Carmen nods, “Well, since she got the injunction for Adrian not to show up here, it makes sense to know that the newlyweds' car was sabotaged.”Amoreira approaches them, “Mr. Barbosa peremptorily denies it and begs me to innocence his son. He believes it was
Building My Life Chapter 1222 An Annoying Nephew
Tiago and Carmen go straight to Europe Garden, to Miguel and Pamela's “house”, which looks like a mansion.The neighborhood's name encouraged residents to build their homes in the European style, and as stated earlier, Miguel Damascene had adopted Georgian architecture for his abode.Carmen was drooling at the exterior while Tiago rang the bell that imitated heavenly bells.The door opens and Miguel answers them.“Mr. Damascene? Where are the minions?” Carmen asks embarrassingly.“Ehr... sometimes I answer the door too. I'm not very demanding.”Carmen is going to retort that Miguel was only demanding in forcing Pamela to marry him, but she swallows her words in time.“Mr. Damascene, we came to talk to Pamela. There was a complication concerning her mother.” Tiago informs him.Miguel is perplexed, “Oh my, did something happen to Mrs. Barbosa?”“No, but...”Carmen is about to respond when she sees Pamela coming down the hall with Theodore in a pram.“Hello, guys! To what do we owe this
Building My Life Chapter 1223 Time to Wake Up
In Pamela's private office, she and Carmen are comfortable in emerald upholstered armchairs.“Tell me, sis, what happened to our mother.” Pamela is already distressed.“Pam...” Carmen speaks slowly, “The detective who is taking care of the case discovered that someone sabotaged the car that Seu Moacyr and our mother were in.”Pamela is confused, “And since when did the accident become a 'case'?”Carmen raises her hands, “I don't know. The Forensic team checked the car without compromise and found that the wires that run the brakes were cut. From there the situation became a criminal investigation.”Pamela's eyes widen, “So Adrian tried to kill his own father just so he wouldn't be with our mother?”“The detective is still investigating—”Pamela stands up abruptly, “There's nothing else to investigate! When he finds out about the judicial impediment that Miguel got...”Carmen gets up and restrains her younger sister, “Pam, the police are suspicious of our father too!”Pamela wiggles fr

Melissa has her eyes closed in the middle of the living room, listening to the song “Hold On My Heart” by Genesis. It's no use, she can't stay without listening to romantic songs to remember Josias, always.João Paulo approaches and laughs at his dreamy sister-in-law, “How are you, Melissa?”“João, you never felt like dancing with your classmate to a beautiful song like that?” Melissa still has her eyes closed.João Paulo is embarrassed. He's seventeen and he's never kissed a girl or asked anyone out.“No, I don't feel like dancing with Ben.” He responds by trying to be funny.The landline rings. Lilian appears out of nowhere to answer, “Hello?”On the other side is Tiago, “Lilian, is your lady boss there?”“Yes, she is dancing while listening to the radio.”“So she already knows that Cristina Barbosa woke up from her coma?”Lilian widens her eyes and smiles, “No, but I'll tell her right now!”“OK, we're all gathering at the Hospital. Bye!”Lilian hangs up and euphorically tells every

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,
