Jack returns home. Ronaldo is reading a book in the armchair but stops reading when he sees his son.“Hello, son! How was the recording at the LCN studios?”“They are fine, father. Veronica is getting a lot of attention with her character.”Ronaldo looks at the clock on the wall, “It's almost time to start ‘Sweet Love’. I am also enjoying your approval, son.”“Thanks, Dad.” Jack leaves his wallet on the shelf.“Hey, Octavio brought Jane and we ate Shirley's cookies. But Octavio said she hasn't been showing up at the entrance to the Vargas Building for him to buy more.”Jack sits down on the couch to take off his sneakers, “Dad, Shirley Mountain is gone. After years of fighting with her daughter, she decided to move away and live in the countryside with her family.”Ronaldo is stunned, “What crazy decision is this?”“Calm down, father. Everyone has to decide what to do with their lives.”“But that doesn’t resolve the conflict. Did she say goodbye to her daughter at least?”“Only now di

These people are not welcome in my establishment!”Simeon loses his breath and lets a balloon deflate, making a noise like he's farting. Alan and Caroline laugh.But Kelvin and Melissa are not amused.“Will, I can't believe you're going to pull this off!” Melissa complains.“Little sister, you know damn well I let you in and have pizza on the house.” William whinnies, “But this is Pizzeria CAMPOS, not Mountain.”Kelvin puts his hand on his glab

In Teodoro's building, Beto and Teresa are taking care of the lobby, putting away certain things, and arranging the counter to go out. The radio is playing “Good Riddance” by Green Day. Vera enters at this moment, dressed to go to the pizzeria.“Hello, guys!”Beto is surprised, “Vera, what are you doing here? I thought you were going to the pizzeria.”“And I'm going, but I wanted to see you first.” She notices their outfit, “And as seen, you are also heading there.”“Yes, we were invited.” Teresa responds, “Isn't it dangerous for you to come here?”“I took a taxi,” Vera responds, knowing what Teresa is talking about.“But now you will come with us in my car.” Beto decides.Rosemary and Pedro appear, “We're ready, Daddy.”“Are we all ready to get free pizza?” Beto animates the troupe.“WE’RE READY!” The children are elated.Teresa narrows her eyes, “Hey, is the pizza on the house?”Beto keeps his arms raised upwards.

Building My Life Chapter 1719 Asking the Mayor Questions
At Crystal Blue, Daryl is in the position of maître d' in Kelvin's place so that he could attend the inauguration of Pizzeria Campos. Diane approaches him.“Honey, how are we doing with reservations?”“We are doing very well.” Daryl comments looking at the booking book, “The customers who called are showing up. Activity is reasonable for the night.”“Fortunately.” Diane giggles, “For a moment, I thought we were being shortchanged by the pizzeria.”Daryl joins in the laughs, “Their pizzeria is in Green Park while we're Downtown.”Suddenly, Renan and Tobias enter the restaurant. Daryl and Diane immediately stop laughing.“Good evening, Mr. Mountain.” Tobias greets him, “I booked a table for two.”Renan smiles mockingly at Daryl. He knows that if he had called, Daryl would have refused to reserve a table. But since it was the mayor's secretary who called...“Table eleven. Frederick, please...”Frederick leads the gentlemen reverently, but he couldn't hide his disgust toward Renan.Diane
Building My Life Chapter 1720 No Celebration?
At Crystal Blue, Renan finished dinner with Tobias. The mayor said goodbye and retired to foot the bill. Renan, on the other hand, decided to go to the bar to drink a cocktail.He smiles amiably at Diane, “A female bartender. Cool.”“What does that mean?” Diane raises her eyebrows, “You think I don't know how to make drinks?”“No, I imagine you were properly trained by the owner of this restaurant.”“Did you mean: by her husband?” Diane blinks.Renan has a bump. He hadn't expected the beautiful bartender to be married.“What will you want?”“A Manhattan.” Renan sits on the stool.“You have chosen just the drink that is missing an ingredient today,” Diane speaks in a neutral tone.But Renan thinks she's flirting with him and smiles again, “What's missing, vodka?”Diane remains serious, “Manhattan doesn't carry vodka. It contains whiskey and red vermouth. The cherry is missing to garnish.”Renan laughs out loud, attracting Daryl's attention, “Serve me anyway.”Diane prepared the drink s
Building My Life Chapter 1721 No Woman Can Bear It
The next day, Josias and Katherine still haven't recovered from the absurdity they faced at William's pizzeria. They have breakfast served by Lilian.“What then, bosses? How was the opening of Pizzeria Campos?”“The pizza is delicious, but the service was horrible!” Katherine complains, “I didn't think Will's temper would get any worse. Are you sure he was better, Josias?”Josias nods, “It was from 1983 when I helped him with Caio.”“And the ungrateful one forgets that to annoy and insult you every time you appear!”“Take it easy, dear. Don't let William ruin your day.”Katherine soothes, “If your day isn't spoiled, mine won't be either.”Lilian smiles and leaves the platter of ricotta. As she goes to get more options, the phone rings.She goes into the hall to answer the extension that is there, but Ernesto, with his back to her, answered first.“Hello?”On the other side, it's Tiago at his house, “Hello, Ernesto! Glad it was you who answered. We need to talk alone in my office. Plea
Building My Life Chapter 1722 Taking Advantage
At Pizzeria Campos, a photographer from Maggiezine is photographing various corners of the place while Maggie takes care of the interview. William and Caio are smiling and collaborative.“Mr. Campos...”“Call me Will.” William jokes.“OK... Will, how do you feel about this new venture?”“I feel fulfilled. My last job was not giving me motivation and I decided to take a chance on a new adventure.”Maggie nods and brings the tape recorder closer, “I heard you have a pizza maker from Italy, is that true?”William chuckles, “Tommaso's grandparents immigrated from Italy and came with tradition in their veins. I am very happy to have him as a helper.”“What about you, Caio? Do you intend to carry on with the business when your father retires?”“Certainly,” Caio responds politely, “I won't need to look for a job anymore.”The adults laugh, even the photographer.Maggie looks around, “I admit the pizzeria looks beautiful and well-built. Was it the company I'm thinking of?”William replies, st
Building My Life Chapter 1723 Coincidences in the Lobby
Dora turns off the radio to have a better dialogue with her mischievous son.“Son, when are you going to stop being a pain in the ass?”“Mom, watch your language,” William responds ironically.“You know very well where I want to go!” Dora throws the broom to the ground, “When will you learn to be a tempered man like your father? Do you see him whining about anything? Do you see him complaining all the time about his enemies?”“My father has no enemies,” William speaks as if this were a demerit.“Exactly, and I want you to be like that. Nobody hates you, you are the one who always starts the war.”William rolls his eyes, “As usual, I'm to blame for everything that happens in this goddamn life!”“And off we go, you're mumbling and whimpering like a little girl!” Dora accuses him.William stands up, “Mother, I just came to inform you that I will be famous again, but as it turns out, you are not willing to celebrate with the son of your womb!”Dora loses her temper, “You want to be famous

Luís stepped into the Vaztrans Mansion, taking in the surroundings with a sense of nostalgia. He glanced around, a faint smile on his lips as he took in the familiar space. Engrácia passed behind him, carrying his luggage up to his old suite. Alan and Sofia stood nearby, watching him settle in.“I need to get back to the company as soon as possible,” Alan said, turning to Sofia. “Can you help him get settled in?”“Of course, darling,” Sofia replied before addressing Luís. “So, cousin? Feeling nostalgic?”Luís sank onto the couch with a mysterious smile. “Did you guys change the decor again?”Sofia nodded. “I had some input this time.”“I see. Aunt Olivia does have extravagant tastes, doesn’t she?” he teased.Sofia flushed slightly, a bit uncomfortable. “You have no idea how happy I am to have you back, cousin.”“I doubt everyone is as thrilled. I can think of at least two people who aren’t.” His tone was light, but the implication was clear.Alan and Sofia exchanged uneasy glances. “M
Chapter 3158 Don’t Be Too Obvious
At Café Montanha that afternoon, the atmosphere grew tense as Neilton, Rodrigo, and Nadia found themselves momentarily flustered by Brendon’s introduction. Brendon, however, remained standing with his hand extended, his expression puzzled.“Uh... did I say something wrong?” he asked.Neilton hesitated before replying. “Uh, sorry, Mr. Souza. But your cousin just left here making a huge scene.”Out of politeness, he finally shook Brendon’s hand.“Typical of him, right?” Brendon said with a yellow smile. “I hope to be a contrast to that.”Rodrigo, ever the curious host, inquired, “Are you new in town? Where are you from?”“Rio de Janeiro,” Brendon replied. “I’ll be representing my aunt at Angel Stores.”Nadia narrowed her eyes slightly, studying him. He didn’t seem to share David’s unpleasant nature.“Is your father Angela’s brother?” she asked.“No,” Brendon said, shaking his head. “My father passed away. In business, I use my mother’s surname. But of course, when I get married, I’ll us

Erasmo, Olivia, and Sofia stood anxiously in Erasmo’s office at Vaztrans, their anticipation filling the room. Olivia clutched a coffee cup — certainly not her first of the day. Sofia eyed her mother with concern, her brows furrowed.“Mom, do you want to have another nervous breakdown?” she asked with worry.Olivia exhaled sharply. “I’m just trying to calm down, sweetheart.”Erasmo chuckled. “No, woman. Coffee will just make you more jittery than you already are.”Olivia suddenly froze, staring at the cup in her hands as if seeing it for the first time. “No! I thought I was drinking chamomile tea!”Erasmo burst into laughter as Olivia rushed to pour herself a cup of actual chamomile tea.Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed down the hall. Sofia perked up, instantly recognizing her husband’s steady, confident stride.The office door swung open, and Alan entered with a triumphant smile.“Son-in-law! What great news do you have for us?” Erasmo asked eagerly.Alan’s grin widened. “THI

Melissa and Brigitte sat in the office at Damascene Lawyers, but this wasn’t a friendly chat. Tension filled the air as Melissa got straight to the point.“Melissa, what are you saying?” Brigitte asked, already wary.“I’m saying you need to help me with this delicate matter,” Melissa replied firmly.Brigitte looked shocked. “Why?”“Because I don’t like scheming against family members,” Melissa said, crossing her arms. “And you are part of the family. You know Leo Borges well, right?”Brigitte shifted uncomfortably in her chair. “Yes, I know Attorney Borges.”Melissa smirked, catching the deliberate formality in Brigitte’s words. “Well, since he’s not available, could you please ask him to let J.J. work peacefully at Vasconcelos Fabrics?”Brigitte hesitated. “But that’s his brother’s business!”“I’m sure you can help us,” Melissa insisted, her gaze unwavering.Brigitte sighed. “Melissa, you’re putting me in a tight spot!”Melissa leaned in slightly. “Do you know why Josias bought share

At Rocha Constructions, in Alan’s office, Luís listened attentively as Alan recounted the latest gossip.“You should have seen it!” Alan exclaimed, leaning forward with excitement. “Well, I didn’t see it myself, but Eugenio described it in such vivid detail that it felt like we were there, enjoying my dad giving some well-deserved slaps to that despot.”Luís raised an eyebrow. “He still hasn’t shown up at the hotel?”“Not at all,” Alan confirmed. “But because of that, Chef Teixeira and his girlfriend moved to the Victoria Hotel. And David fired Suzy. She’s working at Crystal Blue now.”“As a waitress?”Alan’s face lit up with pride. “As Felipe Mountain’s accounting assistant.”Luís smiled, genuinely pleased with the news. There was no jealousy, just relief. “Good thing I wasn’t here when that happened. I might have thrown your brother off the hotel myself.”Alan scoffed. “I don’t even consider that guy my ‘half-brother’! I think now my dad will stop demanding—”Before he could finish,

Brigitte was horrified by Caio’s rude question and instinctively threatened to get up.“Sit down, woman!” Caio commanded, still serious.Brigitte froze in place, caught between sitting and standing, uncertain of what to do.Seeing her hesitation, Caio softened. “I take back what I said.”That was all Brigitte needed to hear before settling back down in her chair.“I have to admit,” Caio continued, “the guy came here early in the day, and I got suspicious.”Brigitte arched an eyebrow. “Did you think he wanted to catch me in a sexy nightgown?”“Yes. I need to protect what’s mine.”Brigitte sighed, exasperated. “Caio, why do you feel that way? Leo Borges has never given you any reason to believe he would be interested in me. You can even ask Little Theo — who can no longer be called ‘little.’”Caio relaxed and smiled, thinking of his half-brother. “You mention my brother, and I remember what unites us — my mother.”Brigitte made a face. “Urgh, don’t mention my mother-in-law. I don’t want
Chapter 3153 Not Trusting the Borges Brothers
The master suite of the Rocha Mansion was a scene of quiet preparation. Josias sat on the edge of the bed, slipping on his shoes, while Melissa fastened a pair of earrings in front of the mirror. His voice carried a sharp edge as he spoke.“Do you understand the situation, my dear?”Melissa shook her head, still processing the news. “It’s shocking. The brother of one of the most famous lawyers around here is plotting to remove J.J. from Vasconcelos.”Josias scoffed. “Who do they think they are? I better keep an eye on this. I asked Alan and Caio to do the same, since J.J. is the youngest.”Melissa smirked mischievously, standing up and adjusting her posture as she looked at herself in the mirror. “Didn’t you ask David for help?”Josias finished with his shoes and stood. “David isn’t talking to me.”At that moment, the sharp ring of Josias’s phone cut through the air. He glanced at the screen, his expression shifting to one of surprise.“Looks like we’re playing games now,” he muttered
Chapter 3152 Luís Is Coming Back
The management door of the Rocha Hotel swung open. Suzy appeared, approaching a startled Eugenio, pale and stammering. “Uncle, what happened?” Eugenio covered the phone receiver and stared at his niece. “It s-seems t-that... I’m hearing the voice of Luís Vasquez!” Suzy snatched the receiver and immediately spoke, “LUÍS! Is that you, my friend?” On the other end, Luís smiled while in Daryl's office. “Yes, Suzy, I’m back in Brazil!” “Oh, Felipe answered my call! Did he send the ‘guys’ from the Bento family to look for you?” Suzy asked excitedly. Luís didn’t know about that but decided to confirm it to make Suzy happy. “That’s right, my dear. It seems my return to Brazil was necessary.” “Necessary and urgent! Everything is falling apart without you around!” Suzy exclaimed vehemently, “You need to get back to your supervisor position before David—” “Wait, I’ve already been informed about that file.” Luís took a deep breath. “I want to check with your uncle to see if I still have
Chapter 3151 Josias Discovers the Hidden Plan
In the Mountain Penthouse, Luís learns everything that Daryl and William uncovered about his family, being shocked by the amount of corruption that existed years before he moved into the Vasquez Mansion. Daryl came from the kitchen with a platter of jawbreaker pie for everyone, but Luís hesitated in choosing a piece, dumbfounded. “This can’t be possible... how could my uncles have been capable of...?” “Do you understand now, Luís, why we want to expose them?” Daryl asks excitedly. “The blog that Will is maintaining doesn’t aspire to be a major media outlet: it’s just a way to get back at them.” “And my aunt continues to party at the club with younger guys without my uncle knowing?” Luís furrows his brow. Olivia always coveted him, but he wasn’t exclusive... “That’s right. Maybe he’ll find out...” William smiles diabolically, considering the possibility. “He should at least know about Aunt Olivia sleeping with Dr. Hogan. Maybe he encouraged her without knowing that Aunt already
