The next day, Frederick was satisfied that it was Sunday. After straining the coffee and buying bread, he patiently waited for Jock to show up and explain everything.Jock appears wearing only white boxer shorts and with a disposition as if he has not performed something extenuate and exhausting all night long. He still feels entitled to smirk."Good morning, Jock." Frederick wastes no time, "Can we understand what happened yesterday?"Jock sits at the table and serves himself, "What happened yesterday was that I met my ex-wife again and finally I could consummate the broken marriage."Frederick narrows his eyes, "While you were married there on the farm, did you never have marital intimacy?""No, Kate always rejected me." Jock breaks the smug smile, "She always had hopes of mating again with Mr. Rocha. When her father said he was going to dissolve our marriage, she didn’t even disguise her happiness. It hurt my man ego, so I took all my frustration out on her yesterday.""And did she

Alan asks, "It’s too good when you’re here.""Yes, I miss our old gang gathered in the penthouse of Uncle Josias." Caio says, "But it looks like we won’t even have the penthouse anymore.""When the mansion is ready, we could all live there, right, Grandma?""Everybody, Alan?" Dora asks with interest, "Including your younger brothers?"Alan is taken by surprise.

I'm talking about your boss, my ex-brother-in-law, thank goodness!”Octavio scratches his ear, “I almost got deaf. Josias hasn't arrived yet, he's looking at his hotel. You should be with him.”William barks, “I'll wait for him here, I won't confront him in front of the workers!”Tiago enters the company, “And who says you are man enough to confront him?”William turns on his heel, shocked at the question, “You really think you're the untouchable ones, huh?

Daryl is gloomy in his office, listening to "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M. on his portable radio. He looks at a picture frame on the desk and sees the photo of the Mountain family on a walk in the park. Everybody is smiling and happy."Where or when did it all go wrong?" He laments.Kelvin walks into the office, "Bro, Melissa is at the bar having a shot of cognac to calm down."Daryl is surprised, "Isn't it early for that?""She needs it after getting some discouraging news." Kelvin pulls out a chair to sit in."What news?""The LCN executive board is concerned about being sponsored by a company whose Head of Engineering sets a terrible example concerning HIV protection."Daryl nods, "And to make matters worse, the promiscuous one is her younger brother."Kelvin rages, "I can't calm down. Not only did he cause that whole scandal at the Rocha Hotel opening party, but he also tarnishes the company's conservative image?"Daryl holds up his index finger, "Little brother, you'd better focus o

Katherine invites her, "Any inconvenience for you?""No." Maggie follows delightedly around the place, "Is there anyone who might get in our way?""J.J is sleeping. Come on, sit down."Maggie sits on the sofa and tries the soft, expensive upholstery with her hand, "What a beauty of a sofa. Where was it bought?"This is where Katherine realizes how far she is from surpassing Melissa, "Ehr... it was at a store around the corner... it cost R$2,000.00."Maggie disguises her displeasure. She realizes that Katherine does not know finesse and glamour.The clothes that Katherine is wearing are not of an international brand but sewn by Adelina while she was still living on the farm."So you are the next Mrs. Rocha." Maggie begins the interview by firing up the recorder, "How does it
Building My Life Chapter 1395 I Hate Josias Rocha
William feels he has fallen into a trap. With no Josias in the conference room to criticize and deflect rebukes, he feels cornered in front of gentlemen who have the morals to judge him."That's not fair!" William whines, already feeling that he has lost this one.Tiago smiles wryly, "What's the matter, William? Didn't you hear Josias? He is completely correct in remembering his situation.""I still believe that Rocha Constructions will not go bankrupt because of my intimate nights." William tries to fight back, "I know very well who did this to me, it was Vernon Queiroz! I got that idea when Josias mentioned his mother."Romualdo raises his eyebrows, "Why would Vernon Queiroz do something like that?""Ah, old man, you're out of date!" William replies disrespectfully, "While you were enjoying retirement, Vernon Queiroz waged a ridiculous war against the Freire family. I never understood why, but it cost him his dismissal at Marçal Publishing. Weeks ago I spoke some truths to Josias's

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

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,
