Building My Life Chapter 1284 The Selected Woman
At the Bezerra farm, Katherine is listening to the radio and dancing in the middle of the living room to the song “Suck My Kiss”, by Red Hot Chili Peppers without understanding the real meaning of the song.The doorbell rings but she doesn't care, waiting for Adelina to answer.The maid was ironing, but she huffs at having to interrupt her housework to answer the door, “Hello, damn, who is it?”“Is this how employees respond to visitors?”Adelina is startled to find Ernesto standing outside, “What? Who are you and how did you get in?”Ernesto smiles out of the corner of his mouth, “There was an employee at the gate and I identified myself. I am Josias Rocha's secretary.”The pronunciation of the magical name was enough for Adelina to run into the living room, “Miss! It is a representative of Josias Rocha!”“And why didn't you warn me before?” Katherine scolds her as if there was any reason to.Katherine peers toward the door, “Come in, secretary! What does my future husband have to sa
Building My Life Chapter 1285 Pilot Day
Ephraim is surprised to return from the coffee plantation and find an unknown car parked near his front door.Upon entering, he finds Ernesto standing in the hall, waiting with a wry smile.“Who the hell are you?” Ephraim asks intrigued.“Everyone has a strange way of welcoming me.” Ernesto quips, “I am Josias Rocha’s secretary and I came to take your daughter and grandson.”“Have you come to take her?” Ephraim widens his eyes.“She was selected to live with my boss in the Rocha penthouse.”Ephraim is outraged, “Has she been ‘selected,’ just as I select my cows for breeding?”Ernesto didn't mean it, but the comparison was perfect.“My daughter has a dignity of her own and will not accept this slight.”After Ephraim says that, Katherine appears with two huge suitcases and Adelina appears with Josias Junior in her arms and his things.“What do you think you're doing?” Ephraim is apoplectic, “Are you really going to go along with this business of being the businessman's concubine?”“Yes,
Building My Life Chapter 1286 Everybody Checks Out the Novelty
Jock enters Ephraim’s studio, still touchy about the situation: he was the beloved son-in-law and the successor in control of the Bezerra farm, but suddenly, he is forced to divorce Katherine and return to his previous stage as foreman!“Did you call me, sir?”“Of course, Jock. I want to know if I can count on my loyal foreman.”Jock hardens his gaze and doesn't speak the swear words that are on the tip of his tongue.Ephraim smiles wryly, “I see so. Here’s the thing, you’re going to be promoted from foreman to spy.”Jock can't take it anymore, “Is this a joke, sir?”“Of course not. I want you to go live in Lagoon City and tell me everything that my shameless daughter is doing.”Jock sneers, “Surely she'll be spending Mr. Rocha’s money and being banged by him every single night. Do you want me to record her moans on cassette for you to hear?”Ephraim is not amused by Jock's sarcasm, “Not quite. But if you are going to record such tapes, let it be along with your male growls, and let m

In Cristina's apartment, it is no surprise that she watched the premiere of 'A Rose in the Desert', presented by LCN.Diane and Moacyr watched with her. Cristina crouches down and pulls out a VHS tape she used to record the episode.“Ready! The first episode of ‘A Rose in the Desert’ was recorded for posterity.”“It would be nice if you kept an archive, dear.”“I don't know if I'll have the space here for that.” Cristina gets up and puts the tape on the shelf, “If this soap opera has more than one season, it will be around 500 episodes.”“The book doesn't have as much material for all that, so I think it's only going to be a year,” Diane responds.“Still, it will be about 250 episodes. Lots to record.” Cristina responds excitedly, “Anyway, I loved it! Now let's wait until 09:00 pm to check out Isabel's soap opera.”“I am very happy for her.” Moacyr nods, smiling.“Meanwhile, I'll prepare dinner.” Cristina heads for the kitchen.“And I'll tidy up the canteen.” Diane offers herself.How

Are you a boardinghouse employee?”“Yes and no.” Diane laughs, “I'm Diane Barbosa.”Beto nods, “Any kinship with Moacyr Barbosa?”“Yes, I am the cousin of the madman who tried to kill his own father.” Diane takes the test to see if Beto is prejudiced.Beto passed the test, “No, I don't want to do any pre-judging. You seem like a decent girl to me.”Diane smiles, “Thanks. I came to help uncle Moacyr and aunt Cris. We take turns: sometimes I take care of my uncle, sometimes I take care of here.”“Thank you, Diane. I am Roberto Reis, son of the late owner of this place.”Diane's eyes widen, “Oh... so I should treat you with more respect! First of all, I'm sorry for the loss, Mr. Reis.”Beto smiles in camaraderie,

Angela and Gustavo are talking in the living room of their apartment. The radio is playing “How do you do?” by Roxette, but they don't seem happy.“We are bad.” Angela grumbles, “What face are we going to ask for David’s next child support?”Gustavo noticed that Angela has been using part of the money to buy new clothes. She is wearing a blouse whose print imitates leopard spots and her jeans are still well dyed. In her ears were huge mother-of-pearl earrings.“Now that Josias Rocha is alive, he is the one we should ask.” Gustavo reasons with her.“Let's see if he accepts,” Angela grumbles.Gustavo picks up the newspaper and narrows his eyes as he reads a news item.“What's it?” Angela notices him.Gustavo holds out the newspaper to her and Angela takes it. As she reads it, her jaw drops.The headline read: “Josias Rocha caught with new girlfriend entering Rocha penthouse building!”******In the Rocha penthouse, João Paulo was complaining to Josias about this.“She took a long time t

Building My Life Chapter 1291 Proposal to Pamela
Daryl is concerned about the way Diane mentions Beto. It stands to reason that a girl like Diane would be impressed by the seductive appearance of Seu Teodoro's son.“Did you like him?” Daryl asks as he checks the bottles at the bar.“It was a pleasure to meet him, but I didn't fall for him,” Diane responds already understanding where he was going.“OK, not that it's any of my business.” Daryl tries to hide his nervousness. Thirty years and he still doesn't know how to behave around a beautiful woman like Diane.“He's a good-looking guy with a good physique.” Diane assures him, “but my interest is in someone else.”Daryl finishes checking the vodka bottles and turns to her, smiling in relief.Meanwhile, Melissa comes in wearing a brown pantsuit, feeling light and happy. Kelvin welcomes her.“Miss Campos, good morning. Did you reserve a table?”“Yes, I booked it for my ex-mother-in-law and me.” Melissa doesn't look sorry.“I'm sorry for what happened.” Kelvin tries to be kind, “I'm gla

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,
