Building My Life Chapter 1450 Josias and Vernon Are on Good Terms
At the marketing agency's studios, Jack meets with Veronica. She is blonde, natural body, has straight hair as required by the 90s, and wears clothes like the girls in “Beverly Hills 90210”.“It's good to be alive for another day's work.” Veronica greets him.“I've never seen anyone so excited to shoot a commercial.” Jack jokes.Veronica wiggles amusedly, “Do you really think you can slip through the cracks, Jack Motta?”Jack doesn't respond.Veronica pats his shoulder, “I have your book. And I followed the TV soap opera.”“Oh, I have a fan. Too bad the show didn't have a second season.” Jack responds good-naturedly.“Well, I preferred it that way. Your book didn't have room for more episodes. If they continued, they would ruin everything.”“The show of Isabel’s book has been renewed.”“Because her show got more ratings, but you should realize they aren't using the book as a reference anymore,” Veronica claims to be knowledgeable on the subject.Jack is delighted to see that Veronica
Building My Life Chapter 1451 A Cousin of Mine
Jack and Octavio are having lunch together at Crystal Blue.“So, bro, how was the photo shoot?” Octavio asks as he cuts the filet mignon.“It was wonderful. They called all the actors in the commercial for us to represent a family happy to buy an apartment built by Rocha Constructions.” Jack takes a sip of wine.Octavio smiles mischievously, “Did they call your actress friend?”Jack blushes a little, “Her name is Veronica.”“Veronica who?” Octavio is already thinking about marriage.“Just Veronica, for now, you little hurried one.” Jack laughs.“You know that marrying her will be the only option to soothe our father's heart, you know?” Octavio speaks as if this were paramount.“I know. Poor Daddy...” Jack sighs.Suddenly the same Veronica appears at the restaurant. She doesn't see the Motta brothers, but they do.Veronica greets Kelvin effusively at the maître d's stand.“Did you see the commercial, Kelvin?” She is blown away.“I did, Veronica! You knew how to convince us as a housewi
Building My Life Chapter 1452 Following the Rival
Josias and Carmen enter Tiago's room. The CFO was busy with calculations and spreadsheets, but he stops work when he sees who was coming in.“Hello, guys. You look like something serious has happened.”Carmen starts to speak, “Honey, I've already communicated my decision to Josias.”Josias adds, “And I said I can accept it because of the pregnancy, but not because she feels rejected.”Carmen sighs, “It will be better this way, Josias. Vânia doesn't talk to me anymore and Shirley doesn't take her mobile table to the secretary's desk. I have to get up and go to the kitchen if I don't want to die of hunger and thirst.”Tiago gets upset, “If that's why, let's talk to them to—““No, dear, that's exactly what I want to avoid. Each with their decision. I don't want anyone being forced to be my friend. I prefer to stay at home to be a good mother.”“OK, dear, but let it be clear that Rocha Constructions will be eternally grateful for your ten years of dedication to the company.”Carmen smiles
Building My Life Chapter 1453 The New Secretary
Diane is flannelling the top of the lobby counter in Teodoro's building. In keeping with tradition, the radio plays “Welcome to Paradise” by Green Day.Carmen enters the lobby and connects herself with the song, “Yes, I left hell and now I'm in heaven.”Diane lifts her head, “Hello, cousin. Why did you say you left hell?”Carmen approaches her, “I quit my job. It was going to happen sooner or later, but I pushed ahead because I felt like I was being an eyesore to certain people.”Diane sighs, “You speak concerning Pam's confusion?”“Yes, especially Vânia. But, I don't blame her. She's married to Melissa's uncle, it's only natural for her to take their side.”Diane revolts, “No, that's not natural. I think you and Aunt Cris have already proved to everyone that you are different from Pam. You don't have four children from different fathers. You didn't lose your virginity in a vacant lot. You didn't destroy the life of a Churchgoer.”Carmen smiles weakly, “But it doesn't seem to count, d
Building My Life Chapter 1454 Uélton's Tongue Saves the Day
Angela is impressed with how Josias is already saying that she will be the new secretary without waiting for her to answer yes or no.“How do you know I will accept, Josias?” She smiles charmingly.“You have no other occupation. You'll be bored at the Rocha mansion, and you'd better stay with me longer.” Josias responds gallantly.“Speaking like that, it’s hard to refuse.”“That is the intention.”Angela giggles, “OK, I'll take it. When do I start?"“I warn you, Carmen quit her job today. She's Pamela's sister.”Angela sighs, “I heard what happened. This girl has been giving you hell since the 80s, correct?”“I'm so glad I never let her take advantage of me.” Josias comments a bit brusquely.Angela realizes it's a thorny subject, “OK, I'll get us some mate tea for us to drink.”Angela gets up and goes to the kitchen.******When Josias arrives at night, the living room radio is playing “Linger” by The Cranberries. But there is no one in sight.“Again the crazy girl left the radio on i
Building My Life Chapter 1455 Rocha Mansion (1)
A few more weeks passed. The 1994 World Cup began, and with it, the prospect of Brazil becoming a four-time champion.For Josias, another memorable event is taking place in his life: the Rocha mansion is ready. That means it's time to say goodbye to the Rocha penthouse after serving as his home for 10 years.The Campos and Freire families showed up to help with the move. Some furniture needed to be unscrewed. The ladies kept smaller objects in crates and labeled them.The radio appeared to be the last device to be packed, as it remains where it is playing “Liberation” by the Pet Shop Boys.Uélton jokes, “Friend, are you going to leave this radio behind?”“It reminds me of Katherine and her insistence on turning it on at a deafening volume.” Josias wiggles, “I think I'll leave it to her and buy a new one for the mansion.”“Okay, you're the boss. Hey, I'm still embarrassed when you told me that Flávia caused the biggest scandal here... she said she was going to my parents' house.”Josia
Building My Life Chapter 1456 Rocha Mansion (2)
Josias wonders what Beto might want to talk to Miguel about.“These two should hate each other, but lo and behold, one wants to talk to the other. Who understands?”Angela giggles lightly, dazzling in her pearl-colored dress, “Let the two of them get along, Josias.”Bernardo approaches the couple, “Can we say that you two are together, or will that also be denied?”“You can advertise this, Bernie,” Josias responds jokingly. Then he has an idea, “Actually...”Josias takes a glass of champagne and stops in the middle of the salon. Everyone sees him and falls silent, aware that the owner of the party and the mansion is going to speak.“Attention, a minute of silence. I, Josias Rocha, want to thank you all for being with me once again in this important stage of my life. In 1984 my friends said I would have a mansion in Sunset Village, and I always just laughed because I thought it was impossible.”Everyone laughs among themselves.Josias continues and raises his glass, “Well, now Everaldo

There were two agglomerations: one on Main Square and one on Sunset Village beach.In Sunset Village, the fireworks didn't let anyone hear anyone.At Rocha Mansion, Josias had to wait a while before being able to speak to his guests, “Okay, now we can toast our champion team.”Simeon and Dora feel a little nostalgia.“Darling, sometimes I wonder if Will wouldn't be in the Brazilian national team...” Dora speaks longingly.“He might if there weren't so many interruptions.” Simeon takes a sip of canned beer.Everybody is in the outdoor area that has been carefully cemented and landscaped for residents to enjoy the outdoors. The mansion borders the beach, and if Josias wants to, he can leave the house st

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
Chapter 3231 The Viper of Lagoon City
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,
