Building My Life Chapter 1666 When the Joy Ends
Melissa almost drops the platter with the ham sandwiches. Veronica reaches out to take it, but Melissa catches herself in time and places the tray on top of the marble countertop.“Veronica, don't play with such a thing.” She asks her cousin.“Why would I joke about such a subject?” Veronica blinks, “It's entirely normal. Do you think I won't have children when I marry Jack?”“Are you going to marry Jack?” Melissa tries to deflect the subject.“We are still dating. Hey, why are you deflecting the subject?”Melissa takes one of the sandwiches and eats, “I don't know... I'm wondering how Josias and my kids are going to react.”“Josias will wish you well and that you don't die in childbirth, and Alan and Caroline will celebrate the arrival of another little brother or sister.” Veronica sums it all up with childlike ease.But Melissa doesn't think the solution will be so easy. If Josias gets angry... Would he order an abortion?What if he's a boy? What if this son also wants to feel entit
Building My Life Chapter 1667 Setting Boundaries
Monday. Melissa is early morning at Dr. Silvana's. She was supposed to make an appointment, but Melissa still maintains her status as the powerful and sovereign Diva of Lagoon City.That's why Silvana didn't complain about messing up her schedule and promptly answered Melissa, “Come in, Melissa, come in!”“You look like you have patients to see at the front desk,” Melissa responds humbly.“They can wait. One of them might ask for your autograph.” Silvana giggles.Melissa sits up and lowers her head, “Autograph for what? I am no longer Mrs. Rocha."“But still with power and sovereignty, my dear.” Silvana corrects her, “Did someone complain that you got in the front?”Melissa remembers that no. On the contrary, the pregnant women who were nearby lowered their heads and walked away as if Melissa were Empress Sissi.Silvana continues to speak, “Anyway, you're here because you want to know if you're pregnant, huh? Let's do the exams now!”Melissa is excited by Silvana's good mood, “Kelvin
Building My Life Chapter 1668 Street Saleswoman
After the exams, Dr. Silvana is elated. Melissa captures her good mood.“Doctor... By your face...”“Congratulations, Melissa! You are indeed pregnant! How is it that the morning sickness still hasn't set in?”“They'll probably show up now.” Melissa stands up, “Oh Lord, I'm expecting a baby from Kelvin Mountain!”“Congratulations, Melissa.” Silvana squeezes her hand, “Your hubby is handsome and healthy, I hope the good genes pass on to your son or daughter.”“God hear you, doctor! And thank you so much for everything!”Dr. Silvana holds out the brown envelope to her. Melissa hugs the doctor, barely holding on with happiness, and says goodbye already with tears in her eyes.******At Crystal Blue, the conversation remains tense between Daryl and Kelvin.“Daryl, stop calling Josias's other sons 'bastards'.”“Am I telling a lie?” Daryl counters with a sarcastic smile, “They were born out of holy matrimony. One of them caused the divorce, and Melissa suffered greatly from it. Glad she met

Tuesday. Maggie is instructing the nanny on how to take care of Henrique.“Any more questions, Cleide?”“No, ma'am.” Cleide nods with a helpful smile.“Great, here's my phone in case you need it. I'll be back at lunchtime for you to eat and rest.”Maggie hands Henrique over to her. Henrique is already big and walking, but the ladies insist on picking him up.“Whoa! How heavy he is!” Cleide jokes.“Time passes. I'm getting old.” Maggie responds between giggles.“Imagine how I am!” Bernardo approaches, “I hope to be able to witness the graduation of my heir.”“You will surely witness this.” Cleide says, “And the college will be journalism.”“Better journalism than traveling sales,” Bernardo grumbles.Maggie is embarrassed by the comment, “Ehr... That's all, Cleide, thank you.”Cleide leaves with Henrique after Maggie kisses her son on the cheek.“No need to spoil the mood by commenting on the street vendor.”“Do you want us to have a meeting condemning her presence?” Bernardo worries.M
Building My Life Chapter 1670 The Natural Order of Commerce
At the entrance of Marçal Publishing, Bernardo and Maggie find Shirley again selling her butter cookies to the company's employees. Even the security guards at the entrance who were supposed to expel her surrendered to the taste of the delicacy.“Thank you very much, young man.” Shirley greets them mockingly, “Oh, good morning? Do you want a bag of shortbread cookies?”“Which of these does not contain potassium chloride?” Maggie asks bitterly.Shirley just laughs, “This daughter of mine was always good-natured.”Bernardo is short and direct, “The point is this, my mother-in-law: Josias Rocha has determined that you must sell this crap at the entrance of the Vargas Building. It seems that the people at Rocha Constructions miss this delicacy.” The word 'delicacy' came out with irony.Shirley breaks the wry smile, “They miss my cookies, but not me?”“You got the message.” Maggie warns her, “If you refuse to sell to more customers and expand your sales, then that means you're only here ou
Building My Life Chapter 1671 Caio Wants to Help
Harold and Wallace are furious at the prospect of Vera showing up at their house at any moment.“This is absurd! We need to call the police!” Wallace states shaking with rage.“But on what charge would we order her arrest?” Harold scratches his chin, “Should I use the revolver?”“Mr. Freire,” Beto's voice trembles, “I want to take this opportunity and ask you not to go to that extreme. Please, don't kill my sister.”“Mr. Reis..."“You can call me Beto, or Roberto.”“My young Roberto, your sister has done a tremendous amount of harm in our lives, and apparently, she won’t stop until she sees me dead.”Wallace hugs his father tightly, “You're not going to die, Dad. I forbid you!”“But how will my heart take so much stress?” Harold questions him, “I won't put up it, just like Teodoro couldn't bear it.”Beto lumps in his throat, “Mr. Freire, if Vera shows up here, you can call the police and accuse her of disturbing the peace in the neighborhood. But please, hide the gun from Mrs. Freire.

Diane took the liberty of turning the living room radio back on. As Metallica's song "Hero of the Day" sets in the living room, she's calling Maggie.On the other side, in her office, Maggie answers the call, “Hello?”“Maggie, this is Diane, your future sister-in-law.”Maggie smiles, “I already consider you part of the family. What is it, Diane?”“Are you aware that Melissa is pregnant?”“Yes, my brothers informed me yesterday.”“It seems that Will Campos is not joyful with the good news. He said Kelvin raped Melissa just like in the 19th century and now she is pregnant against her will.”Maggie rages and punches the desk, “What an imbecile! I don't know how Melissa still puts up with this irresponsible person! And to think he was a famous soccer player ten years ago...”“He failed as a soccer player and he failed as a member of the Executive Board of Rocha Constructions...” Diane still has questions in her mind.Maggie notices this, “Diane, do you still have any questions?”“Don't be

Wednesday. William and Caio are getting ready, the father going to work, and the son going to school.“Today will be my last day at the warehouse, son.” William excitedly announces, “I’ll resign to start building our store.”“Have you decided whether to be an ice cream parlor or a pizzeria?” Caio asks as he puts on his sneakers.“Which do you prefer?” William turns on the radio and Andrea Bocelli's song “Vivo Per Lei” fills the living room.“How chic we are with Italian music.” Caio jokes, “I prefer pizzeria.”“We would have to hire a pizza maker. And the store will always be open at night.” William warns him.“Great, so I can help you,” Caio assures him with a smile.Someone knocks on the door. Caio smiles in anticipation.“Who will be?” William opens the door and immediately wants to close it in Josias's face, “NO! GET OUT!”Josias holds the doorjamb masterfully, “Don't insult me, William!”“GET OUTTA HERE, DAMN IT, NO ONE CALLED YOU!”Caio gets up, “Actually, father, I was the one

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,
