Building My Life Chapter 1641 “New” Apartment
Everyone who went to visit Bernardo had their hearts aching with Dr. Farias warning that he didn't need heart surgery. Is it because... he didn't have time?But Dr. Farias responds in a tender voice, “We don't need surgery because the patient has stabilized.”Maggie kneels crying before Dr. Farias in gratitude. The others cheer and applaud. Only Shirley remains on her, thoughtful.Daryl then enters the lounge, “From the vibe and celebration, the news was good.”Maggie gets up and hugs her brother, “Daryl, he's not going to die! My mother couldn't kill him.”Shirley widens her eyes, “What did you say?”Dr. Farias adds what Maggie meant, “Listen, ma'am, when I walked into the room, the patient was about to have an aneurysm. When Mr. and Mrs. Mountain were with the patient, he was normal and calm. You must have done something to irritate him.”“We'll find out when he leaves the room,” Kelvin responds menacingly.Shirley swallows hard and decides to say no more. After all, what she says c
Building My Life Chapter 1642 Gustavo Gives up the Fight
Gustavo introduces himself to Josias in our hero's library. While Josias is calm in his armchair with a copy of Stendhal in hand, Gustavo is frowning and indisposed.“My friend, if you already have that face, maybe it's not a good idea for us to talk,” Josias warns him.“Don't make fun of me.” Gustavo growls, “I came to talk about my friend Angie.”Josias produces a sarcastic smile, “Let's put the cards on the table. Angie is not and has never been your friend.”“What do you mean?” Gustavo frowns even more.“I don't know if Angela ever saw you that way, but at least you see her as more than a friend. I would say you were always in love with her.”Gustavo neither denies nor confirms, he remains silent.“Your silence is deafening.” Josias mocks, “And it only confirms my thesis. So sometimes I think that David is not my son.”“David is your son, you bastard!” Gustavo barks, “Don't try to escape responsibility!”“I don't escape. On the contrary, once David was introduced to me as my son,
Building My Life Chapter 1643 Affectionate Recovery
Maggie enters the room that used to belong to Caio and that is now being occupied by Bernardo. She brings a tray containing a snack for her husband. Bernardo is better, leaning against the head of the bed, and receiving the tray with all the love in the world.“Thank you, dear. I'm giving you too much trouble, aren't I?”“No way, I'm trying to be the wife who helps her husband.” Maggie lovingly responds, “So, how are you feeling?”“Much better after knowing the whole truth,” Bernardo responds while helping himself to toast with honey.“Coffee is low in sugar, honey.” Maggie tries not to get into the thorny subject.“We're going to have to talk about this sooner or later, honey.” Bernardo sensed her intention, “Why not now?”“Because I don't want to see Dr. Farias so soon,” Maggie responds with a pout.Bernardo chuckles, “Don't be upset. I'm the one who should be upset that I've fallen for yet another Mrs. Mountain’s trick. It feels like I don't really love you.”Maggie doesn't want to
Building My Life Chapter 1644 We Thank You for Your Dedication
In Melissa's office, Jack Motta appears well-groomed, hair styled in gel, jeans smelling new and with the dye very fresh, and socks smelling like fabric softener. The woody scent caused a feast in Melissa's nostrils.“Wow, what is all this production due to?”“I need to impress the owner and head writer on the soap I'm going to work on,” Jack responds jokingly as he sits down.Melissa promptly extends his character spec sheet, “Here, Jack, take this for you to read and study the ‘Matias’ character. There we have all his previous information so you can dive right into the interpretation. We have the feelings, the wants, what he wants to achieve, and who he's going to interact with directly.”Jack marvels at everything so meticulously prepared, “Wow, Mrs. Mountain! How do you manage to prepare this with such care? I didn't know I had to go through all this.”“You know how it is, we need to create believable, flesh-and-blood characters, believable enough for the viewer to forget a little

The next day, Daryl is teaching Diane how to make a cocktail for the customer. Diane struggles as a beginner but is determined to excel. Daryl tries the second attempt, but grimaces.“Hmm... Less sugar, honey.” He comments.“Oh, I'm sorry, honey.” Diane is dismayed.“Don't worry. You will be able to please the customers.” Daryl smiles encouragingly.“Then allow me to try again.” Diane prepares the ingredients for the third attempt.As Diane prepares another dose, Shirley strides into the Crystal Blue, looking desperate.“You really abandoned your mother, huh!” Shirley complains, “Because of that, I couldn't give you horrible news!”“Did Bernardo have a relapse?” Daryl asks, “Did he go back to the hospital?”“No, thank God.” Shirley sighs, “But your sister and sister-in-law won't let me into the penthouse for more details.”“And I can't blame them, can I, Mom?” Daryl scolds her lightly, “Tell me the bad news.”“Yesterday I was fired from Rocha Constructions! Josias Rocha will no longer

Josias is more comfortable after Bernardo's recovery and the resolution of David's custody to Angela. Only then was he able to guide the special meeting he had arranged with Tiago.So, in the conference room, he, Tiago, Alfred, Simeon, and Octavio were gathered to discuss the main agenda for 1996.“We are all listening to you, master.” Tiago gestures for Josias to begin.“Guys, I want to thank you for the massive support of all of you in these years that Rocha Constructions has existed. So I hope to continue supporting this great project I have in mind.”Break. Josias drinks a glass of water that Katherine left for him.“I want to build our headquarters from scratch. I want to leave the Vargas Building after more than ten years. It's time for a company of the magnitude of ours to have its own building, don't you think?”The other gentlemen were astonished. A building of its own for the head office of Rocha Constructions?Tiago is the least surprised because he already knew beforehand.
Building My Life Chapter 1647 Tired of Fighting
Maggie is prepared for yet another showdown between her and her mother. Perhaps this is the last.“Mother, how did you get in? You know very well that you’re forbidden to enter.”“Really?” Shirley scoffs, “Looks like the new gatekeepers at the entrance aren't aware of the ban.”“Then I will update them under threat of dismissal.” Maggie points her index finger, “Now you can leave.”“Did you not hear a word I said?” Shirley closes the office door with a bang, “You're not gonna win this war. I was fired from Rocha Constructions for not wanting to acknowledge that I am to blame for something I am not.”Maggie is surprised by her mother's lip service, “Aren't you to blame?”“I said the truth. You are a whore. Always was and always will be. You snared Bernie when you found out he had money to spare. You concealed your whoredom and rose as a respectable lady and dame of society. You got pregnant by another guy to tell your deluded client that he's Henrique's father.”Maggie, however, sits i

It's part of the learning.”“Now we have other drinks, like caipirinha.” Diane rubs her hands together, ready to learn more drinks.Melissa turns to Kelvin, “Veronica went to celebrate with Jack Motta his entry into the soap opera.

Chapter 3210 Josias Junior in Action
At Vaztrans, William questioned Sofia about the company’s finances, which are now in order since her parents stopped interfering.“Uh, I think the explanation is simple. With my father no longer here, we don’t have that urge to prove we’re always the best public transportation company in the city.” Sofia sat face to face with him. “I remember my father would always freak out when people mocked the old bus models we had.”“Yeah, and he would waste money buying expensive buses that we couldn’t afford to maintain.” William accepted this explanation for now. “So, Sofia, you wouldn’t be offended if I said your father was just playing at being a manager?”Sofia made a face. “My father managed Vaztrans since its inception. I’m here to continue his legacy.”“I know you’ll do a good job.” William leaned back in his chair. “I just want us to keep things this way now that we’re in control.”Sofia crossed her arms. “Great. I hope that doesn’t mean any insinuation on your part – or from that littl
Chapter 3209 Time to Look for Other Girls
Vaztrans, morning. Brand new buses come in and out of the garage, with drivers and fare collectors smiling in their new uniforms. In William’s office (which used to belong to Olivia), he scratched his forehead while researching and checking the financial spreadsheets. Sofia, greeted like a diva by the staff, entered the office. “Good morning to you too! Have a good day at work!” She approached the desk. “Good morning, Will! What’s with that long face?” “I’m not making a long face. I’m making a face of someone who doesn’t understand this accounting,” William replied, still looking at the monitor. “What’s the problem? Are we broke again?” Sofia’s eyes widened. “No.” William finally looked at her, with a mischievous smile. “We have so much slack that we could pay off one of the installments of the loan we took from Josias if we wanted to.” Sofia continued with wide eyes. “Oh, that’s incredible, right?” William kept smiling. “Sofia, you’re not getting my astonishment. The point is
Chapter 3208 A Night in the Cell to Reflect
At Rocha Constructions, Josias and Alan faced a dilemma: should they start a war against the Borges brothers? Thierry noticed their initial hesitation. “If it’s too much for you two, forget it. J.J. and I will manage on our own. Maybe Daryl can help us.” The mention of Daryl made Josias react, “Wait a minute, Thierry. We never said we wouldn’t help you. On the contrary, I feel the same way: that truck was deliberately sent against the supermarket to cause that accident.” “Yeah, a way to force J.J. to choose between focusing on the farm or on Vasconcelos. No one but the Borges brothers was interested in that.” Thierry smiled slightly. “The problem is we have no proof.” Josias put his hands in his pockets. “The truck was on the street, there are no surveillance cameras nearby.” Alan asked, “But J.J. decided to stay with Vasconcelos, right?” “Exactly. That was our way of getting back at them.” Josias nodded. “So, our only form of investigation will be to observe how Reynaldo Borges
Chapter 3207 The Law Must Be Obeyed
Just out of spite, David was taken to the Happiness Slum police station, where Dylan was now interrogating him and pressing him against the wall. David was shaking while handcuffed, thinking he might have a chance to escape. “What is going on here? LET ME GO! This station is not equipped to handle my problems!” Dylan sat at the desk, keeping one of his subordinates nearby, standing by the door. “Oh really? It just so happens that it’s the opposite: Commissioner Tavares said he doesn’t want to see your face at the headquarters!” David was horrified by the remark. “What does that mean? We can’t allow such abuse! Call my dad immediately!” Dylan, grinning with delight, leaned back in his chair. “Mr. Souza, it was your father who ordered us to remove you from the Rocha Constructions building.” “That’s IMPOSSIBLE! My dad never ordered Alan’s arrest!” “Isn’t it because Alan Campos Rocha has never given the police any reason to detain him?” Dylan asked ironically. “And on what charges
Chapter 3206 Is Daniela Pregnant?
At the management office of Lafayette Supermarket, Thierry was signing a fat check for a member of the Cintra family. The man, who was the victim’s brother, was staring at everyone with disdain and arrogance. “You have to understand that we can no longer shop at this supermarket, right?” he kept saying. “My poor brother used to come here because the wine prices were cheaper, but now... we’re going to have to resort to the little store closer to home, even if it costs more!” Nadia was outraged. “Mr. Cintra, don’t be arrogant!” Mr. Cintra raised his chin at Nadia. “I can sue you for this too, you know?” “No, you can’t,” Thierry emphasized, tearing the check from the invoice and hastily extending it to him. “Take it and get out of our sight!” “You are in the wrong and still want to play the victim!” Mr. Cintra simply felt entitled to cluck. “Thank goodness my brother didn’t die! Otherwise, we would tear this crappy supermarket down! It was much better when the Ramos family ran this
Chapter 3205 At the Height of Despair
The next day, Daniela was talking to Dr. Matthew Hogan at General Hospital. “Alright, Daniela,” he said with a smile. “I hope we don't find anything serious in your tests.” “Could I... be pregnant?” Daniela asked in a whisper. Talking to Matthew inevitably reminded her of Silvana Hogan, his mother and a famous obstetrician. “My mother is now retired and enjoying the Bahamas,” Matthew said kindly. “If your test results indicate you’re expecting, we’ll refer you to the appropriate department.” “Thank you so much, Dr. Hogan!” Daniela extended her hand, and Matthew shook it. A few moments later, Daniela was walking through the corridors, thinking about the possibility of being pregnant. She even placed her right hand on her belly, already imagining herself carrying the heir of the Reis family. She smiled mischievously as she recalled the countless nights of passionate love where Pedro ravaged her mercilessly, only stopping when the alarm rang the next morning. How could she not
Chapter 3204 Someone is Not Feeling Well
Melissa worried about her parents' objection regarding the twins getting involved with their paternal family. "Mom, Dad, I understand your concern." Melissa broke the silence. "But in a way, they're right. I don't have the right to completely cut them off from Kelvin. Besides, they have another little brother." Dora looked at her wristwatch. "At this hour, Mary must be in the penthouse, keeping an eye on Anthony." "Oh, did they say they were going to do that?" Melissa smiled slightly. "Yes, someone texted them asking for it. Probably Kelvin," Simeon replied seriously. Dora explained, "Daughter, let's hope Daryl doesn't take advantage of the closeness to poison our grandchildren's minds." Melissa was alarmed. "What are you saying, Mom? I won't allow that!" "No, I know you won't allow it." Dora frowned. "That's why I hope you visit Kelvin and set some boundaries." "If I bring this up, I'll unintentionally be starting a stupid war," Melissa retorted. "They know their boundaries.
Chapter 3203 Long-Term Consequences
At Rocha Constructions, Sofia is eager to prove that she was right all along about Suzy. She leaned back against Alan again, wanting information. "Dear, before we were interrupted, you were saying something about me being right to be suspicious of Suzy Cogo. I knew that smartass was planning something!" Alan scratched the back of his neck. "I feel like she was the one Everaldo mentioned in the prophecy." Sofia's eyes lit up. "That's true! Suzy is the only one investing out there! Do you think she will want a slice of Rocha Constructions?" "I sincerely hope my dad doesn't agree to sell any shares. I won't do that. Better warn Caio." Alan became serious. "Well, I'll have to put up with her at Vaztrans." Sofia sighed, feeling discouraged. Alan turned to his wife with curiosity. "Speaking of which, dear, we haven't heard any news about Vaztrans being in trouble this year. Did you finally manage to control the spending?" Sofia looked confused. "Uh, I don't know what you're talking a
Chapter 3202 No Evidence, No Investigation
Sofia reacted, obviously pleased, when none other than her husband stated that she was right.Unable to resist any longer, she sat on Alan's lap and delivered THAT delicious, passionate kiss.When the kiss ended, Alan was perplexed, eyes wide."What was that for?" He asked, lost."You silly!" Sofia began to laugh. "This is your reward for believing in me. And tonight, you'll have another reward that's under my panties—"The last phrase was clearly heard by Caio, who was opening the door at that moment.Sofia quickly bounced off Alan's lap, trying to disguise the intimacy. Caio blushed slightly, smiling awkwardly.Alan smiled nervously. "Wow, everyone decided to start early in 2012! Good morning, cousin."Caio avoided looking at Sofia. "Good morning, cousin. Do we have any updates regarding our annual meeting?""My dad appointed me president – again." Alan's cat-like grin indicated that he wasn't complaining. "And we'll have all the important people, just like last year."Caio's face g
