Wallace is hit in the face by a hammer from Uélton. He passes out and falls to the floor. Milton and the other workers crowd with concern.
"Uélton! What did you do?" Milton exclaims.
"My bad, Milton! I couldn't take it anymore!"
Uélton is reacting in a frightened way; he goes pale and takes two steps back.
Romualdo approaches the agglomeration and asks to make space. "Excuse me, guys! What happened, our first accident at work?"
"It was my fault, Seu Romualdo." Uélton replies, in a broken voice, "He is my brother and we have an argument."
Romualdo looks at Uélton with a cornered face and then looks at Wallace still unconscious. There is a hammer mark on one of his temples.
"Call an ambulance. Anyone who lives closer to here, please, call the hospital."
One of the workers who is in the situation in which Romualdo spoke ran to his house. Romualdo kneels and checks Wallace's heartbeat. "Okay, guys

Josias explains, "Wallace argued with me, then came here to take out anger at Uélton. I agree that Uélton might not listen to his older brother's complaints, because he was at his place of work. But, being fired for that? Very unfair! Wallace had nothing to do here.""But I can't scold him now, he went knocked out at the hospital." Romualdo replies, "It was up to Uélton to resolve this peacefully.""Didn't any more experienced masons try to break the fight?" Josias asks looking around at all the workers who were listening. Josias's gaze was fierce and the workers were silent, ashamed.Milton risks replying, "He was with me, but I didn't stop the discussion. They didn't even get to grapple.""Well, there we are."

You raised an issue that would be better discussed in our office. How about we talk about it tomorrow? Do you leave the service at this time or were you released earlier?""I was released earlier to find out about my son," Harold asks as if he takes offense at the question.

She takes a breath and right there starts to cry desperately. So this was what had happened to Pamela?Carmen focuses on not tripping over any stone and walks cautiously to her house. As soon as she closes the door, she screams at the top of her lungs."PAMELA!"Mrs. Chaves emerges from the kitchen, behind her; it comes a pleasant odor of apple and cinnamon cookies."Honey, Pamela's not back yet. We're going to eat all the cookies and she'll be out of it."Mrs. Chaves doesn't notice or doesn't care to notice that her daughter's blouse is all torn."When she arrives, te
Building My Life Chapter 175 A New Tenant
Teodoro is astonished when he hears Uélton ask him how much it costs to rent a room."Why are you asking me that, young man? I know very well that you have a family.""Do you think I should wait for my family to be killed so I can live here?" Uélton asks dryly, "Or do you think I can't afford it? I'm working as a bricklayer at Silva Construction Company."Teodoro does not want to be rude, but he does not see the same determined attitude as Josias in Uélton. He clearly sees that in Uélton there is revolt and frustration. If things were going well, he wouldn't be at the lobby of his building asking for a room."You seem to have been in trouble at home." Teodoro takes a chance."My brother decided to hate me because I support Josias and his courtship. Today my parents decided to side with him and despise me." Uélton explains with sadness in his eyes."Have you talked to them frankly or just come here? You know

"My sister, don't tell me he made it—"But, despite feeling sorry for Carmen, all Pamela managed to do was get slapped by her older sister."Of course not, I'm not weak like you! There was a prize that his father won from some snooker competition and I hit him with a sharp part of the trophy. He passed out and I ran... in fact, I ran just like you, that day! I just didn't trip over the street or get seen by William."Pamela says desperately, "Well, believe me, sister, that's exactly what happened! I also managed to escape, kicked him in the 'private parts' and ran back here!""So do you confirm, you bitch?" Carmen speaks caustically."Once you've found out, what's the use of denying?" Pamela asks frankly."But, I don't believe you managed to avoid it. The way you came here, all desperate, shows that Fabrício got what he wanted. He's a molester, and you, instead of

Harold asks, "Are you so upset about the situation that you feel this is how you're going to work things out?""If you distance yourself from your brother, you won't be able to make it up," Isabel warns.Uélton, however, snorts at the mention of Wallace, "We are not talking about Wallace. We are talking about me! I am feeling devalued in this house. Wallace has behaved strangely for months, but you have closed your eyes about it. Now that the bomb went off, you want to blame me. I'm not the one who chased other people's girlfriends.""Son, I ask your forgiveness, for giving the impression that we did not love you." Harold speaks wisely, "But, don't leave the house, that would not be sensible. You, alone, will plunge into the grudge.""Plunged in spite I am here. Spite, resentment, rejection, hatred...
