Building My Life Chapter 1313 Be the Penthouse Lady
Some days are gone. In the Rocha penthouse, Katherine looks like she's sucked on a spoiled orange. She is toiling in the kitchen, trying to do the dishes, something she never did when she lived on the Bezerra Farm.João Paulo enters the kitchen and smiles when he sees her distress, “What happened, Kate? Didn't you want to be the lady of this penthouse? So act like a housewife and do the corresponding chores!”“Melissa had maids and servants!” Catarina Rose.“Yeah, but Melissa also performed all the household chores with mastery. She needed a maid because there were a lot of people living here. Now that it's just you, Josias, J.J, and me, there's no need for someone else to clean up here. And see if those glasses are properly rinsed!”João Paulo takes an apple and leaves the kitchen laughing. Katherine feels like breaking a glass, but she fears that Josias will force her to buy another one.******Meanwhile, Josias visited Angela's apartment. Her radio was playing “Rain” by Madonna.“Y
Building My Life Chapter 1314 We Could Be a Family
William is annoyed when he catches the Freire family speaking ill of him. Harold approaches the living room window.“Were you eavesdropping on our conversation, Will?” Harold asks to cover them.“Don't change the subject! I came to ask a favor and caught you gossiping about me.” William reacts hurt.Uélton never disciplines the tongue, “If there were good things to say, Will... is it not true that you have become the disgrace of the Campos family?”“Uélton...” Isabel approaches the window, “What do you want, William?”William calms down a bit, “I'll tell you, Dona Isabel, because you're the most civilized: can Caio stay here with Reuben after school while I'm working?”“But of course, William. It will be a pleasure.” Isabel nods.“Okay, then I'll let him know.” William glares at Uélton.“Will, is it true that Melissa is going to be the new writer for LCN?” Uélton teases him, “If she manages to be as famous as Agnes Nixon or Irna Phillips, she will leverage the Campos surname to fame.
Building My Life Chapter 1315 The Hillibilly and the "Madam"
Harold welcomes Caio, Reuben, and Alan to his house. They both set their backpacks down awkwardly on the floor and collapse on the couch.“Hey, how was school?” Harold leaves their backpacks spread out and sits in the armchair.“We had a math test. I hate this subject.” Alan grumbles.“For you, it's more than necessary, Alan.” Harold chuckles, “You will inherit Rocha Constructions and will need to study Mathematics, Finance, Economics, Engineering...”Alan pretends to have a headache, “Don't scare me, Seu Harold...”Caio nods, “I'm glad you already have a job, Alan. I don't know what I'm going to do.”Harold encourages the boys, “Oh, there's so much, Caio. Don't you want to be a bricklayer like your uncle Josias?”Alan waggles his index finger, “Nope, folks. Caio, when I own Rocha Constructions, all of you will work with me.”“Me too?” Reuben asks.“You, Rosemary, Pedro, and even the other brother who I don't even know his name yet,” Alan declares.Harold marvels at Alan's determinati
Building My Life Chapter 1316 Melissa vs Maggie
Harold watched with interest as Alan unwittingly led his friends' to play with the Lego toy Josias had bought him before the divorce. The toy was being assembled on the coffee table.“Wrong piece, Reuben.” Alan calmly said, “You have to follow logic like a puzzle piece.”“But this is not a puzzle.” Reuben scratches the back of his head.“The assembly principle is the same.”Harold goes to the radio and turns it on. Duran Duran's song “Ordinary World” sets the scene in the living room.“There is no doubt, Alan. You will preside over Rocha Constructions.” Harold praises the boy.“Only Uncle Will who has doubts. No offense, Caio.”Caio shrugs, “I don't take offense. I don't even know why my dad wants to be president now, only to have to give up the throne to you later.”Alan drops a piece, “Uncle Will wants to be president now? But my father didn't die, it was a prank!”Harold realizes how the subject distresses the boys, “Boys, don't bother with these grown-up matters. Keep playing, it'

In Crystal Blue, the situation gets extremely tense. Kelvin approaches Melissa and takes her by the arms so she doesn't get hit by Maggie.“Melissa, don't stoop to that humiliation.”“Sorry, Kelvin! I know she is your sister.”Shirley adds more fuel to the fire, “Don't worry, honey! My daughter is the one who offended you and owes you an apology.”Maggie is disgusted and with her hand on her face slapped, “I don't have to apologize for anything! I'm going to talk to my husband right now! You will see Pamela Damascene ruling this city; now it will be my personal goal to do that!”Shirley tries to stop Maggie, but she runs away.“Maggie, come back here!” Shirley puts her hand on her glabella, “Well, now her magazine is going to go bankrupt.”Daryl wonders, “Is she going to promote a promiscuous whore like a 'society lady'?”“She had a great marriage with Roberto Reis.” Melissa informs them, “And she threw it all away to get a secretary job. Now she married her boss and had her fifth chi

Maggie bursts into Bernardo's office in tears. Bernardo quickly gets up to hug his crying wife.“Dear! For God's sake, who hurt you! I kill the bastard who dared to harm you!”During the hug, Maggie asks, “So are you going to kill Melissa Campos?”The hug is undone. Bernardo clears his throat unnecessarily.“Can you rationally tell me what happened?”Maggie ignores the 'rationally' as if Bernardo calls her hysterical, and sniffles, “I went to Crystal Blue to happily tell my brothers about the interview I did with Pamela Damascene. My mother and Melissa Campos went against my intentions. I argued with Miss Campos and she slapped me!”Bernardo hardens his face, “Why did she do that?”“She still maintains an immature feud between her and Mrs. Damascene. Well, I won't be intimidated.”Bernardo is apprehensive, “Can I see how the interview got?”Maggie smiles through her tears, “Oh, honey... I already sent the text to the layout and print team!”Bernardo sinks both hands into his face. Now

I'm thinking of selling the penthouse and looking for another home for myself. The memories I had in the 80s are killing me.”Octavio interrupts him, “And so you finally decided on the mansion in Sunset Village.”Josias is amazed at how quickly Octavio completed what he said, “Everyone expects me to live there.”“Josias, only you still don't understand what Everaldo told you.” Octavio expresses his opinion, “He said that God promised you all the good and the best. And the best thing about Lagoon City today is the Sunset Village neighborhood.”“So you already know what I want.” Josias smiles mischievously.Octavio nods, “Yes, you want u
Building My Life Chapter 1320 Assalting Adolfo
At Rocha Constructions, Vânia is listening to Shirley's whimpers concerning Maggie and her desire to promote Pamela Damascene.Vânia purses her lips as she helps herself to buttered cookies, “But, that can't be, Shirley! Does your daughter not know how much Josias and Melissa suffered at the hands of this Pamela?”“Of course she knows!” Shirley is disgusted, “Pamela Damascene had the nerve to say everything in the interview. The bitch doesn't even deny the promiscuous past. She only lies by including Josias in her list of lovers.”“I also heard this story. The truth is that Pamela from the beginning wanted to sleep with Josias, so she and Melissa stopped being friends.”Shirley smiles devilishly, “However, I felt vindicated when Melissa slapped my daughter! Of course, I sparked the discussion so your niece would do what I wanted to do.”“Shirley, if this story comes out... it's going to be chaos. Josias became a client of the law firm of Pamela's current husband. If Josias wants to su

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

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

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,
