Building My Life Chapter 1618 Resistance to Prison
Amoreira leads Francisco to the cell where Shirley was awaiting trial. She is disheveled, her blouse torn, and the policemen's fingerprints are still visible on her arms.“SHIRLEY!” Francisco is horrified, “What have they done to you? Did the guards rape you?”“No.” Shirley responds in a voice that sounds like a whisper, “I made a big fuss out of the lobby and the guards dragged me away by force.”Amoreira communicates to her boyfriend, “According to the sheriff who registered the arrest, Mrs. Mountain had the aggravating factor of resisting arrest. For that alone, she could face two months to two years in prison, depending on the severity and the judge's good mood.”The 'judge's good mood' part was added in slapstick by the fun detective.But Francisco gets more desperate, “Shirley, did you resist arrest? As far as I know, the mere nervousness of being arrested does not constitute a crime, unless the detainee resorts to violence. You...”Shirley turns her face to the left and refuses
Building My Life Chapter 1619 Is Your Mother's Boyfriend Your Uncle?
Francisco and Shirley are now alone. Passing jailers found romantic the sight of Francisco holding his beloved's hands through the bars.But Shirley didn't feel any romantic emotion, just hate and rancor, “I'm going to kill her, Frank. I swear to God that one day I’ll kill her!”“How can you speak God in a promise of murder?” Francisco admonishes her, “Shirley, you need to calm down.”“Calm me down?” Shirley laughs like a witch, “Okay, I'll calm down while I wait to be tried and sentenced to two years in jail!”“You shouldn't have threatened to assault a cop.” Francisco reminds her of this.“I was desperate! Frank, Mr. Bento told me to make it up to Maggie and she didn't even let me in, she told the building's concierge to call the police like I was an intruder! How do you want me to be calm?”Francisco tries to be controlled and rational. He takes a deep breath, “Shirley, this all started when you told the truth. We had sworn we would never tell Bernardo. My brother passed away not k
Building My Life Chapter 1620 Someone Has Returned
At Crystal Blue, Daryl was in his office listening to Kelvin's account of his mother.Daryl narrow-eyed opines, “I thought our mom was already spending romantic nights with Uncle Francisco.”Kelvin gets goosebumps in disgust, “Rodrigo and Veronica didn't say any of that. I passed by the coffee shop and found that Veronica reacted negatively, but Jack Motta calmed her down.”Daryl raises an eyebrow, “Did the two of them see each other again?”“Rodrigo said this time it’s for real,” Kelvin adds a smile.Daryl stands up, “Anyway, we need to see our mother. Despite Maggie suggesting I move, what she did was pretty extreme.”Diane enters the office just now, “Good morning, honey! Hello, Kelvin.”“Good morning, Diane.” Kelvin greets her, “You seem to have come in a hurry.”“I came by taxi.” Diane hugs her boyfriend, “Dear, it's confirmed: Roberto Reis will take over his father's building.”“Good for him,” Daryl responds neutrally.“And from what I've seen, he's going to have the help of his
Building My Life Chapter 1621 Let's Talk with a Revolver
Days later, Josias is informed at the mansion that Moacyr and Cristina intend to move to Victoria. The Barbosa couple visited him.“Guys...” Josias is surprised, “Why do you wanna go so far?”“So far?” Moacyr chuckles, “The capital is not a three-hour drive.”“Even so, I will miss you so much.” Josias hugs Moacyr, crouching down to him, “For what reason are you going?”Katherine and J.J are with them in the foyer.Cristina replies, “We want to be close to Pam to prevent her from returning here to annoy the Freire family. And we have found one medical clinic that can help Moacyr’s recovery.”Josias stands up straight again, “Well, to me, the second reason is the most plausible. Pamela can pack her bags and escape at dawn without anyone seeing her.”“It won't be that easy.” Cristina replies, “Raymond said she's living with him and Junior.”“So her father must be instilling common sense in that hollow head,” Josias comments jokingly, making everyone laugh.“Since I haven't met your daugh
Building My Life Chapter 1622 Investigating the Past
Amoreira is eagerly reading the new issue of Maggiezine. Celebrity gossip and schemes always fascinate him. With a smirk, he turns the page after reading a column.“So that bastard actor was supporting two families at the same time? Who would say...”His office door opens and Bernardo enters.“Good morning, detective. I hope I can count on your help.”“Sit down, my lord. How can I help you...?”“Bernardo Marçal.”“Oh God, you own my favorite publication!” Amoreira shakes the magazine, “Can you give me an autograph?”Bernardo is not one to autograph, but he smiles and gives an impromptu autograph on the cover of the magazine, “Satisfied?”“And a lot, this magazine will be worth thousands of reais. Twenty years later, I will put it up for auction.”Bernardo has even forgotten that he was looking to divorce Maggie.“And then, Mr. Marçal?”“I want you to do a secret investigation.” Bernardo leans forward.“Mr. Marçal, if the matter is urgent, I suggest you look for a private investigator.
Building My Life Chapter 1623 Panic in the Freire Family
Bernardo returns to his office at Marçal Publishing. When he opens the door and enters, he got shocked.Maggie is sitting in the presidential chair, smiling and serene.“But what do you think you're doing here?” Bernardo thunders, “Do you want to die, or do you want a divorce?”“Neither this nor that.” Maggie gets up.“I'm going to ask the lady cleaner to disinfect this chair.” Bernardo scoffs at her, “I don't know how many bacteria you got on the upholstery.”“Bernie, you know very well that in all these years of marriage I have never given you any illness.” Maggie starts to reason with her husband.“That was because you were so careful and lucky,” Bernie replies bitterly, unwilling to open his mind.Maggie doesn't take long to show what she came for, “OK, I have two things to tell you. First, I still want my job as editor-in-chief of the magazine. I can already see that it has not stopped being published.”“I'm thinking about changing the name,” Bernardo responds menacingly.Maggie

Josias appears at Teodoro's building, looking around and feeling nostalgic just like Beto. Now the radio is playing “You Learn” by Alanis Morissette.“So, how are the preparations for the replacement going?” He claps his hands, “Oh, no need to worry. Katherine got five houses and two apartments for you to choose from with Gomes Real Estate Agency.”Cristina and Moacyr burst out laughing while Carmen is startled.“Son, you didn't need so much exaggeration.” Moacyr thanks him.“I just want to help.” Josias apologizes as a child caught in mischief.“That's why Tiago is your fan,” Carmen comments with a smile.Cristina takes Carmen's notebook, “We're thinking about appointments to replace us. Beto assured us that Teresa is willing to manage the place. And they are moving into our apartment.”“It was his father's apartment.” Josias comments.“Anyway, it's good that things are falling into place.” Moacyr sighs looking around, “I'm going to miss it here.”“I hope that at my wedding you are o

Uélton searches until he finds Wallace depositing bricks in a corner of the construction site.“Wallace, we need to talk urgently,” Uélton speaks sharply.Wallace straightens up and is alert, “Uélton, if we're going to fight, we'd better wait for the time to finish our work time.”“I hope you were satisfied.” Uélton continues, “My son saw the barrel of a revolver because of you.”Wallace narrows his eyes, “What did you say?”“Our father showed up at my house because you gossiped about me.” Uélton feels entitled to play the victim, “He showed up with the revolver he bought and pointed it at my forehead. If it weren't for Reuben begging his grandfather, I'd be dead right now.”Wallace is unfazed, “As I know your tongue, I know it wasn't exactly like that. I know that Dad leaves the house with the gun in his pocket.”“So there, I'm not lying!” Uélton yells.“You lie when you say it's not your fault.” Wallace smiles slightly, “Did I gossip? Did you have the nerve to tell our father that y

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,
