Elza pokes her husband's shoulder.Melissa decided to answer the door in hopes of seeing Josias.João Paulo approaches her, "It's already six forty in the evening. Josias couldn't have taken that long, his apartment isn't far!"Melissa takes a deep breath, "You know what I'm starting to think, John? Josias has decided not to come.

He has already recanted, so let him live, please!”Elza clings to Josias's tuxedo, “Son, tell him to let go of your stepson, please!”“Dad, it's not worth it!” Benjamin begs him.“Uncle Adolfo!” Josias orders in that imperial tone everyone knows, “Not in front of the kids!”Adolfo smiles devilishly, understanding Josias's message: don't kill Vernon in front of the children, kill him when no one is watching!So he gets Vernon safe and sound in the penthouse and lets him go. Vernon runs into the penthouse, pale as a ghost and shaking like a green stick.“Thank you, Josias!” Elza thanks her son without understanding what he says.João Paulo has a suspicion when he goes back inside and finds that the children weren't watching.“Hey

I can only hope that both parties are properly aware of the decision they have made.”“Certainly, Your Honor,” Igor responds on Josias's behalf.Melissa's attorney nods. Her client stands still, just listening serenely.“Then let's start deliberating.” The judge declares the meeting started.“Your Honor, my client states that she had entered into a prior agreement with Mr. Rocha regard
Building My Life Chapter 1278 A Story Ends
Outside the Family Court, Melissa and her attorney head downstairs. The day is gloomy, overcast, and threatening to rain, matching what had just happened.“Thank you so much for the assistance.” Melissa kindly thanked the lawyer.“It was a pleasure to serve you, Miss Campos.” The lawyer almost pronounces 'Mrs. Rocha', but corrects himself in time.“Melissa!”Melissa stops at the bottom step of the stairs and turns around. Josias is hurrying down to catch up with her.“You shouldn't have given up the penthouse. Where are you going to live?” Josias asks worriedly.“In my parents' house, until I find another home,” Melissa responds calmly.Josias is surprised by Melissa's tranquility. Wasn't she supposed to be crying, screaming, yelling, cussing him bad names, and threatening to cut his berries?“I want to be together to tell our children.” Josias decides with a serious look.“For sure. I swore before the judge that I was not going to do parental alienation.” Melissa smiles lightly.Josi
Building My Life Chapter 1279 Bonds of Interest
In the Rocha penthouse, Carlos is in the armchair enjoying the song “Nothing Else Matters”, by Metallica.

As seen, it's all over.”“Ernesto, call the children,” Josias speaks in a serious tone.While Ernesto leaves, Melissa sits on the sofa, “Grandpa Carlos, you better pack your bags. We will no longer live here.”Carlos nods in understanding, “I see. I will return to my house.”“Grandpa, your house was sold years ago.” Melissa smiles kindly, “You're moving back in with my parents. I will join them until I find another abode.”“Or until you find another husband.” Josias jokes.Melissa shrugs, “Let's see if my fans

In Josias's office, he and Melissa are tasked with the arduous task of telling their children that they will no longer live together as a family.“What happened, father?” Alan asks curiously.“Alan and Caroline: Most of all, I want you both to know that I will always love you.” Josias begins.“I love you too, Daddy.”“Me too!” Caroline speaks with a graceful smile, making Melissa's heart flutter.“That's great.” Josias kneels next to them, “Unfortunately, we are no longer living together.”“Are you going to heaven again, Daddy?” Caroline asks.“No, little girl. Mom and Dad will no longer live as husband and wife. You will live with Mom, Grandpa Simeon, Grandma Dora, and Great-Grandpa Carlos.”Alan frowns, “What about Uncle Will?”“Uncle Will is getting another house,” Josias responds, and to his surprise, Alan sighs in relief.“Did you and Mom fight, Dad?” Alan asks.Melissa responds in his place, “Unfortunately, we can't live together anymore, son.

Building My Life Chapter 1281 Adress Changes
The next day, it was William and Caio's turn to pack their bags to leave.At Simeon's house, Dora and he were saying goodbye to two and preparing for the arrival of four people.“Mother, where will every one fit in?” William asks as he puts clothes in the suitcase.“Grandpa Carlos will sleep with the kids and Melissa will sleep in our room,” Dora responds.“I remembered the time when we all lived together with Josias.” William dares to smile.Dora wastes no time, “Yes, it was the time when you had changed for the better.”William closes the suitcase so hard that the zipper almost breaks, “Mother, don't come to defend the adulterer! Look at the result of all this: my dear sister is leaving the luxury life to live back with you.”“She decided so.” Simeon corrects his son as he overhears the conversation. He stands in the doorway.“Of course, how is she going to live in the 'Rocha' penthouse being Miss 'Campos'? And if she remarries, will her husband want to live in the penthouse bought

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

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 3330 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,
Chapter 3228 Sarah Shouldn’t Have Let Her In
At the General Hospital, Diane was causing a scene in the hallway while Felipe was being treated in one of the rooms. “What is happening? Someone please give me answers!!” Matthew approached the desperate woman. “Mrs. Mountain, we ask for your calm. Your son is not in life-threatening condition.” “He should never have been in this situation to begin with!” Diane shouted. Eugenio approached. “Mrs. Mountain, we’re very sorry. I tried to call Suzy, but she is at an appointment with Cardozo Perfumes.” “Why is she at my brother-in-law’s company? More investments?” Diane was taken aback. “Perhaps,” Eugenio narrowed his eyes. “She didn’t tell me exactly what she intended to do.” “Oh, this situation is killing me. Doctor, how is he?” “He is sleeping under the effect of sedatives. We are waiting for a room to become available to conduct some tests to understand why he isn’t waking up,” Matthew informed her. “Well, if my boy isn’t going to wake up for now, I need to reach my husband.
Chapter 3227 Business First, Boyfriend Later
At the Rocha Hotel, Luís couldn’t stand being called “Spanish Stallion” for the umpteenth time and gave Felipe the biggest beating he had ever received in his life. However, Eugenio was not in favor of violence and quickly called using his desk phone. “Security, there’s a fight happening in my office!” Eugenio’s euphoric voice jolted Luís out of his trance. When he came to, Felipe was unconscious, with a bleeding nose and cuts on his face. “LUÍS, look what you’ve done!” Eugenio panicked. “How am I going to defend you from this?” “I couldn’t control myself, Eugenio! You know how much I hate that nickname!” Luís shouted passionately. “It doesn’t matter! If you can’t keep your self-control, you’re going to get into serious trouble like right now!” Eugenio pushed Luís away from Felipe as he spoke. He knelt down and checked Felipe’s vital signs by holding his wrist. “At least he’s STILL alive,” Eugenio said sarcastically. The security team arrived in record time. “Here we are, ma

At Crystal Blue, the restaurant was still closed, but Suzy was there at the bar, having a drink in celebration. Diane was the one who prepared two shots, both toasting. “A toast to success and personal fulfillment, my future daughter-in-law!” They both drank. Suzy took a deep breath. “What a relief! It’s so good to be victorious!” “It really is a wonderful feeling.” Diane nodded. “Now, do you think the annoying people will finally leave you alone?” “No, of course not! It seems the war is going to intensify even more.” Suzy replied excitedly. “And you are confident that you can fight, win?” “Of course! I have the truth on my side.” Suzy took another sip. “It all started with Sofia discussing salary increases in front of the employees.” “I feel like she did that on purpose, huh?” Diane raised her eyebrows suspiciously. “Yes, I see it that way, too, after thinking it through. What a coincidence that Sofia heated up the discussion just as I showed up warning against making too ma
