Building My Life Chapter 1249 A Bull's Rampage
Pamela is in a red armchair in the living room drinking a cup of coffee and cream. The radio is playing “Wishing on a Star”, a version by The Cover Girls.Miguel strides in to communicate something urgent to his wife, “Darling, I'm sorry to disturb your peace.”“If it's something urgent, I won't be upset.” Pamela smiles reassuringly.The radio interrupts the music and the announcer tells the same news that Miguel wanted to say, “We interrupt our programming for a piece of urgent news: Lagoon City police arrested real estate agent Adrian Barbosa this morning, accused of having sabotaged his father's car when he was going on his honeymoon with his stepmother Cristina Chaves. The current Mrs. Barbosa was in a coma for months and Mr. Barbosa got paralyzed after the accident. Now let's continue with the local programming.”The music starts playing again, but Pamela can't appreciate it. She puts the cup on the saucer and stands up, stunned.“Honey!” Pamela stares at Miguel, “Is the case fin
Building My Life Chapter 1250 No Denouncement, No Crime
Amoreira does not understand why Moacyr wants to exonerate Adrian if it’s clear that he was the one who sabotaged the car, resulting in Moacyr being paralyzed for the rest of his life.How long does a father's love for his son last?“Mr. Barbosa, I'm sorry for your distress. But unfortunately, your son has committed a crime and needs to be punished according to the Law.”“But I'm saying I don't want to take this matter further, I haven't made any formal accusations!” Moacyr punches the detective's desk.“Well, the investigation will continue in the same way. After all, that's my job, to investigate. The Chief of the precinct was who decided on preventive detention.”“Why did he decide on this nonsense?” Moacyr's voice fails.“Because it has come to our attention that you will be there in this wheelchair forever!” It's Amoreira's turn to lose patience, “For Christ's sake, Mr. Barbosa, are you happy to be weakened forever? You were on your way to your honeymoon!”“If you investigated di
Building My Life Chapter 1251 Hope in Cristina
Cristina runs out of the office, leaving Diane and Isabel stunned.“What's up, my friend?”“Isabel, I'm sorry, but I need to go to the police station NOW!” Cristina takes the purse that was under the counter, “Moacyr is at the police station declaring that he will not file a case against Adrian. No complaint, no conviction!”Diane's jaw drops, “No, my uncle isn't thinking straight!”“I'm going to make my husband understand that he can't overlook his son when he's trying to kill him!” Cristina roars and runs away desperately.******Tiago and Mr. Ferraz enter the office of a reckless and anxious Amoreira.“This is disgusting!” Amoreira is standing up and walking in circles, “Mr. Barbosa has been here stating in full force that he won't file a criminal complaint against Adrian just because he's his son!”Tiago places his hand on the glabella. Poor Moacyr!“He must be one of those parents who forgive their children in everything.” Mr. Ferraz lectures.“But that doesn't do the child any g
Building My Life Chapter 1252 Divorce?
At the jail, the jailer takes Tiago Bento to the cell where Adrian awaits his conviction.Adrian's face is swollen from crying. He is cowering, cornered, frightened, and withdrawn, sitting on the flatbed with his feet up, resting his head on his knees, as if he were a naughty child.“Just a few minutes.” The jailer warns Tiago.Adrian sees Tiago, “What do you want?”“I want to see you there, in defeat, at the bottom of the pit, humiliated and maligned as you deserve.” Tiago says menacingly, “So you tried to kill your father?”“I wanted to kill the slum slut.” Adrian's voice comes out in controlled anger.“And on top of that, he repeats the insult.” Tiago wiggles, “Now your father is paralyzed forever, while Cristina has recovered from her coma. Don't you realize this was a warning from God to you?”“God doesn't support sluts.” Adrian speaks thoughtlessly.Tiago sneers, “God doesn't support murderers either. Can you imagine what would have happened if Cristina had died?”“I would sleep
Building My Life Chapter 1253 Tiago's Assurance
Carmen, Pamela, and Miguel are stunned when they hear Moacyr say that the solution to the family's problems is divorce.Miguel even turns off the radio since no one is listening to any music, “Seu Moacyr, did the accident affect your brain?”“Have respect for me, Miguel!” Moacyr is offended.Pamela defends her husband, “Sorry Dad, but I have to agree with him! Don't you realize that divorce is the worst thing that can happen?”Moacyr insists, “I'm warning you: when Adrian returns, he'll be foaming with rage and dying for revenge.”Carmen rolls her eyes, “And you're going to leave him around here so he can get revenge? How many times has he sworn never to want anything to do with you again? It is time to make that oath count.”Pamela asserts, “Dad, forget it, Adrian won't be with us anymore!”Suddenly Cristina appears, “He won’t. I have already testified and filed my criminal complaint. Adrian will stay in jail!”“Oh, Mom...” Pamela hugs her. Carmen does the same.Moacyr turns the whee
Building My Life Chapter 1254 Forgiving Is Divine
João Paulo has difficulty understanding that Josias is alive. Melissa explains this to him with the didactics of a teacher.“Melissa, how did we come to believe he was dead?”“That's where the interesting story comes in: Josias was rescued by a farmer who helped him recover. But when Josias felt better to come back, he realized that the farmer was willing to keep Josias on the farm forever to take over the business when he retired. On top of that, his daughter was in love with Josias and her father wanted Josias to marry her.”“So he ran away.” João Paulo answers briefly.Melissa embarrasses herself because it wasn't just that, “Ehr... he got the farmer's daughter pregnant as revenge and then ran away.”João Paulo breaks his smile, “Oh, Melissa, I'm so sorry!”Melissa hurriedly responds, “At least Josias made it back, but instead of clearing up the misunderstanding, he's been into the shadows digging for information about the farmer who tried to kidnap him. It was he who insinuated to
Building My Life Chapter 1255 Proving Your Existence
On the other side, Frederick leaves the bathroom and goes to the living room, finding Josias scratching the back of his head, not understanding why Bernardo had hung up.“Some people are afraid of ghosts.” Josias jokes.“Let's listen to the radio news,” Frederick suggests.As soon as they call, they hear the song "Knockin' on Heaven's Door", a version of Guns 'n' Roses.But, just like the other times, the music is interrupted by the announcer, “We interrupt our programming for a piece of urgent news: real estate agent Adrian Barbosa, responsible for the attempt on the life of Moacyr Barbosa and his new wife, was arrested yesterday. Mrs. Cristina Barbosa, who was in a coma for six months, filed a criminal complaint. More information is in the midday TV news. Keep up with our song!”Josias and Frederick look at each other dumbfounded.“Why am I still surprised?” Josias wiggles, “That madness of him opposing the marriage and ending the father-son relationship could only end in this situa
Building My Life Chapter 1256 Goodbye for Good
Moacyr is disgusted with Adrian having the nerve to claim that Josias is to blame for being paralyzed.“How dare you say that Josias is to blame for me not being able to walk anymore?” Moacyr rages, “Who cut the brakes on my car? Who joked about turning off my wife's devices while she was in a coma? Who did we have to issue a security warrant to? Who kept swearing never to speak to me again and ending the father-son relationship? WHO?”Adrian swallows, “It all started in 1982—”“And this story will end now, in 1992!” Moacyr interrupts him, he doesn't want to hear the same old story again, “A cycle ends, Adrian. You will pay for your crimes, and you will never come back here. Forget that I exist, son, and try to be happy at least.”“Who will take care of you, old man?” Adrian appeals to cheap sentimentality.“Your uncle sent Diane as my caregiver, don't worry,” Moacyr reveals to an astonished Adrian.“Then that's it? Will we never see each other again? Did Josias get what he wanted?”M

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,
