Elza and Jane are momentarily terrified of Renan. But they decide to empower themselves and face the enemy.Elza responds dismissively, “I didn't know Mr. Vasconcelos is married.”“Cut this nonsense!” Renan roars, “I'm talking about Vera Reis, my woman! I love her and want to spend the rest of my life with her!”“Ah, so you are not kidnapping her?” Jane jokes.Renan throws her a feverish look, “If I kidnapped Vera, why didn't anyone call the police?”“Perhaps the police are already aware, but they are working in the shadows, waiting for the opportune moment.” Elza bravely replies, “Perhaps it was the police who found Vera and brought her to safety.”“For then I’ll have to clear up the misunderstanding—”“Save your saliva, my dear!” Elza scolds him, “My son, the powerful Josias Rocha, is an eyewitness that you took Vera Reis against her will in a limousine with bodyguards with guns drawn, threatening to shoot her brother. If you go to the police station, you will never leave there!”Bu

After he went to his apartment, she tried to go back to reason with him.“Frank, you weren't serious. We cannot part if we love each other madly!”“Do you love me, Shirley?” He snaps back, “So you swear never to be that annoying, nasty woman again? Do you promise to make peace with Maggie and forget about this theory that Henry is Jack Motta's son? My daughter is dating the guy and you offend her with that insinuation!”“It's not innuendo, Frank, it's rock-solid truth!”“HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?” Francisco roars.Shirley takes two steps back and replies in an uncertain tone, “I just know.

Back at the Mountain Penthouse, Melissa happened to meet up with her husband.“Honey, how was the noon service?”“Lots of customers, lots of food served, lots of caviar and grilled salmon, and Diane didn't get wrong a single cocktail,” Kelvin responds by forcing good humor.“It's weird people showing up for drinks at noon.” Melissa sits on the couch.“Sometimes people want to celebrate a deal they made.” Kelvin sits down next to her.Melissa observes her husband's features, “Kelvin, I know you well enough to see there's something wrong with you.”Kelvin sighs, “It has. Melissa...” He looks at her, “My mother went to live with her family in Linhares.”Melissa widens her eyes, “Really? Since when? She didn't come to say goodbye...”“After the ice treatment we gave her, she was unlikely to say goodbye!” Kelvin exclaims.“And now you regret it?” Melissa asks cautiously.“I don't know, I have mixed emotions.” Kelvin crosses his arms, “My mom broke up with Uncle Francisco and since then she

Time is passing, and the construction of the new headquarters of Rocha Constructions is taking shape. Josias faces the construction of four floors plus private parking with a boyish smile.Tiago appears beside him, “Who would have thought, huh, master? In 1981, even I wouldn't have dreamed of getting this far. We started in that dilapidated building and will now continue in our own headquarters.”“I am very happy, Tiago. Everaldo didn't play around on duty.” Josias answers.“Speaking of mysterious things,” Tiago chuckles, “how is the matter with our rival?”“What rival?” Josias is genuinely scared.“That crazy person who won't leave Tiago Ibrahim's side.” Tiago gets serious, “He actually managed to build one of the factories not far from here.”Josias takes a deep breath, “Unfortunately, as an advocate of capitalism, I cannot stop anyone from starting any kind of commercial venture. I just need to know if Mr. Vasconcelos is expanding his business with the right mindset.”“What do you

If the target was a person, they would be dead in seconds.However, Vernon is next to her, and with him, it's quite the opposite. Vernon doesn't hold the gun firmly, his finger hurts when he pulls the trigger and his most correct shot hits the target's shoulder.The shooting instructor is torn between praise and scolding, “Congratulations, Mrs. Queiroz. You sounded like a pretty competent cop. I didn't want to be in that target's shoes.”“Thank you, instructor.” Elza removes the earmuffs.Vernon purposely keeps the earmuffs on in an attempt to block out the criticism, but the instructor says anyway, “As for you, Comrade Vernon, keep your body straight and your shoulders tight and balanced. Even those funny actors from ‘Police Academy’ couldn't shoot so clumsily!”It wasn't until the instructor walke
Building My Life Chapter 1711 Time to retire
At Bernardo's apartment, Maggie is surprised to find that Shirley has simply left without saying goodbye.“This has got to be a joke.” She paces the living room in circles, “What does she want? Make us feel guilty?”“I don't know and sometimes I wonder if I deserve to know.” Daryl scratches his head, “Our mother definitely didn't want us to have a peaceful life, so I felt it necessary to give her some distance.”“And I preferred to act like she was dead!” Maggie roars.“Calm down, dear.” Bernardo makes her stop walking and calms her down.“The door was open, Kelvin and I found Uncle Francisco also looking for her,” Daryl explains further.“So she doesn't know she's going to be a grandmother again?” Maggie asks with a frown, “Or that she's going to be a grandmother to twins?”“I called her on New Year's Eve.” Daryl responds, “But I just went to her apartment to talk about the twins.”“Oh, this is too much for me.” Maggie shakes her head, “If that's the way she wants it, then have her w

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,
