Building My Life Chapter 1416 Don't Be Jealous
Josias enters the kitchen at Rocha Constructions. Shirley is serving her famous butter cookies to a cheerful Octavio and a reluctant Jack.“Cheer up, Jack. Shirley's cookies will leave you in paradise.” Octavio advertises.Shirley giggles modestly, “What is it, Mr. Motta? It's just cookies, I don't have fairy hands.”Jack tastes one that melts on his tongue, “Hmm... delicious, Shirley. And how is your daughter's pregnancy?”Josias watches as Shirley's smile fades within seconds.“She's fine, still working.”“It's almost six months old now, she better worry about not straining herself.” Jack gets worried.Shirley suddenly turns to the novelist, “You know her very well, don't you, sir?”“You can call me Jack. And yes, we are friends and I like her a lot. Mr. Marçal is a lucky man.”“Believe me, Jack, Bernie is unlucky.” Finally, she realizes Josias, “Oh, Mr. Rocha. We have fresh cookies for you.”“Thanks, Shirley. Bring a plate with a cup of tea to my office.”“Just now.” Shirley prepar
Building My Life Chapter 1417 He's Going to Buy a Gun
Following day. At Shirley's apartment, she's getting ready to leave, fixing her hair in the living room mirror. Kelvin is on the couch reading the paper. The radio plays the song "Since I Don't Have You", a version of Guns 'n' Roses. Kelvin sighs, thinking he doesn't have Melissa.“Son, what are you sighing for?” Shirley notices him.“Sometimes I wonder if I really have Melissa or if she is only with me to heal the wounds caused by Josias,” Kelvin explains while still reading the newspaper.Shirley approaches him, “And have you discussed this with her?”“Not yet, and I don't even know if it's worth it.”Shirley disagrees, “Look, son, if there's one thing your old mother knows about relationships, it's communication. This thing of hiding what one feels from the other only happens in books and soap operas, and you know very well that it only causes a fuss.”Daryl approaches in dress wear, “Still having doubts about Melissa, little brother? Call her house right now!”Kelvin puts down the
Building My Life Chapter 1418 Time To Do Something
After Shirley declares that she thinks she knows who the real father of Maggie's baby is, Kelvin and Daryl don't know whether to laugh or spit fire at such absurdity.Shirley misinterprets their silence as agreement, “I know you're shocked, but we need to face the truth.”“What truth?” Daryl finally explodes, “The truth is that you're really in love with Bernie and that's why you invent any kind of nonsense against your own daughter?”Shirley is surprised by her eldest son's outburst, “Daryl, believe me! I caught Jack Motta blurting this out in the kitchen of Rocha Constructions. The poor guy is so sweet and innocent that he didn’t even have the malice to hide it from me!”Kelvin narrows his eyes, “Did he confess?”Daryl frowns, “Cut it out, he didn't mean it literally.”Shirley smiles slightly, “Of course not, but I got the message.”“That is, the lady heard what she wanted to hear, and not a true confession of adultery!” Daryl concludes, “I need to go, I'm going to say hello to my g
Building My Life CHapter 1419 Beto Has an Ace Up His Sleeve
William instigates Beto to turn against Pamela and help him in the legal dispute to stay with Caio.Beto recalls the dark years from 1982 to 1985 when he, Vera, and Teodoro tried to plot against Pamela, but they only get burned with it, culminating in Teodoro's fatal heart attack.Tears stream down Beto's cheeks as he declares, “It won't end like this... I need to avenge my father's death!”William grins evilly, “That's right, Beto, that's how you say it! If I remember correctly, the death of Seu Teodoro was because of all that confusion, was that it?”“Yes, that was it. My father absolutely didn't want Wallace and Vera to get married. When he learned that Wallace had attacked Vera on their honeymoon... it was too much for my father's heart... God rest his soul!”William pulls up his seat and sits down, “You can dig up that story so the judge can understand why Pamela didn't have custody of Caio back then. We can bring up the whole story from 1989. And that's when Pamela cheated on Wa
Building My Life Chapter 1420 Children's Union
Beto gets up, worried about William's bad fall from his chair. William is sprawled on the floor with his injured knee.“Ow, ouch...” William tries to get up.“Will, why did you fall like that?” Beto tries to help him, “What I said was no big deal.”“How not?” William hobbles to another chair, “What you hold in your hands is golden information!”After William sits down, Beto takes a deep breath and starts to speak, “Well, that's the truth. Rosemary is not my daughter, only Pedro.”“But why did you marry Pamela?”Beto realizes that William doesn't know the whole story. Has he forgotten? Or did Josias not tell him?“I was in love with her at the time and found out that Wallace was trying to win her back. When I took on parenting, Wallace backed off and remained engaged to Vera.”“After so much confusion, Wallace still loved Pamela and intended to leave your sister planted at the altar?” William is surprised.Beto revolts, “Yes, I also thought it was absurd! So, in addition to having Pame
Building My Life Chapter 1421 I Can't Do It Anymore
Following day. Melissa walks into Rocha Constructions and finds Carmen happy with her pregnancy. She is standing sorting the mail.“Hello, Carmen! Is there still time to congratulate you?”“Melissa!” Carmen turns around and the two hug, “Sure, thank you very much. Finally, it happened.”“Tiago has certainly heard jokes about him being sterile.” Melissa giggles, “His honor has been restored.”“Anyway, how can we help you?”“Is Josias here? We need to talk about our children.”“Yes, he came to the office early. You can go there."“Thanks. I recommend you to Dr. Silvana, she is the best.”Carmen nods; she has already had her first prenatal exam with her.Melissa enters Josias's room and finds him with Ernesto.“Today you have a meeting with the current mayor, sir, to discuss another construction related to the housing project.”Melissa interrupts them, “Another housing project, Josias?”The gentlemen notice Melissa's presence.Josias smiles at her, “Yes, Melissa. We have many projects fo

Josias and Melissa continue talking about their children's need to be together.“You're right, Melissa.” Josias agrees with her, “David is already three years old and Josias Junior is two years old. The two don't know each other and they don't know Alan and Caroline.”“I'm sure they won't be spiteful.” Melissa is quick to say.Josias smiles, “I know our children are kind and understanding.”“Well, I already have Angela's approval.” Melissa touches on the thorny detail, “The problem is: we gotta talk to Katherine.”Josias instantly gets serious, “Don't worry, she'll take it for better or for worse.”“Calm down, Josias, I don't want trouble between the two of you.”“Melissa, if you read an article claiming I'm marrying Kate, that was fake news.” Josias crosses his arms, “I'm going to marry Angela Sousa. That is, if you don't mind.”Melissa smiles slightly, “Of course, I don't mind. I want you to be happy, Josias.”“Thanks. And we will, indeed, provide that our children interact among th

Melissa is now at LCN talking to Daniel and delivering more scripts typed into the computer. Daniel checks how the scripts were written according to the required formatting.“Very well, Melissa. You have become an experienced TV writer.”“Thank you, Daniel. I visited my ex-husband. We don't need to be upset with Jack Motta.”Daniel embarrasses himself, “Is he still upset? I told you this is just business, Melissa.”“You know how it is: it's hard to hear that your show will come to an end.”“Jack Motta's book was a very round and closed story. There was no room for more stretches and seasons. But ‘Love Just Happens’, by Isabel Freire, was the opposite. The screenwriter in charge found many details to explore, especially the protagonists' best friends.”Melissa smiles sweetly, “And you think my story, ‘Sweet Love,’ will make it into more seasons?”“It will depend on how you write the story and how the audience will react. We hope our viewers are excited as I am.”Daniel's confident smil

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,
