Building My Life Chapter 1731 The Bandit Is Detained
Josias enters Rocha Constructions and finds Tiago and Alfred toasting cups of coffee in the kitchen.“Finally justice has been done!” Tiago proclaims, “Now our wives can rest easy!”“I don’t have a wife yet, but I share the same opinion!” Alfred adds mockingly.Josias is surprised, “Hey, what's going on here? What is the reason for the celebration?”Tiago turns to Josias, exulting, “Master! Didn't you listen to the radio? They arrested Mr. Vasconcelos!”Josias is not immediately excited. He pours himself a coffee, “I don't think he got arrested. What must have happened is that he was generously referred to the police station to provide clarification. A kind of preliminary hearing for the initial investigation. If they see that the imbecile has answered something worthwhile, they can temporarily detain him.”Alfred is dismayed, “What if the idiot manages to answer the questions in his favor? Are the police going to release him?”“Sadly, yes.” Josias takes a drink, “But how did they get
Building My Life Chapter 1732 Pre-trial Detention
At the police station, Ivan loses his temper with Renan.He stands up sharply, “I've heard enough. Mr. Vasconcelos, you are entitled to a call. I suggest you call your lawyer.”Renan panics, “My lawyer? But why?”“You’ll need it. You are willingly admitting that you intended to withhold Miss Reis's freedom.”“Cut out ‘Miss Reis’, she’s not in the running for any beauty pageants! Although she deserved it, she is very beautiful and has a great guitar body!” Renan makes the ‘guitar’ gesture with both hands, “Anyway, she's Mrs. Vasconcelos!”“Do you have the marriage certificate for the two of you?” Ivan asks mockingly.“No, but we still need to get married. How are we going to get married if she stays away from me?”“Are you sure you are an industrialist?” Ivan scratches his head, confused, “You are looking very clumsy to me!”“Do not judge a book by its cover,” Renan utters the popular saying.The mention of ‘cover’ and ‘book’ reminds Ivan of Josias's biography, making the sergeant more
Building My Life Chapter 1733 Sinister Approach
The following day, Tiago went to the police station to speak with Ivan Moraes on behalf of Josias.The officer received the oldest brother of the Bento family, interested in getting to know him.“Mr. Bento, welcome to my humble office.”Tiago looks around the room and sees the awards and recommendations of authorities, including a frame of the sergeant with the late Mayor Ibrahim. Humble?“Sergeant Moraes, I hope you don't expel me. I came to speak on behalf of Josias Rocha, my master.”Ivan breaks the smile at lightning speed, “My wife is not here.”“You’ll no longer have a wife if you continue with this uncontrollable jealousy!” Tiago asserts, “Will Lagoon City's justice be undermined because of this?”Ivan takes a deep breath and decides to be reasonable, “What does your 'master' want?”“First of all, to this day he has not been able to give testimony about the kidnapping of Vera Reis.” Tiago takes a deep breath, “He was a witness to what happened, along with Mr. Roberto Reis.”“I
Building My Life Chapter 1734 Poor Evidence
At the police station, Ivan feels entitled to be insulted by Tiago punching his desk.“Beware of your fits, my lord! Do you want to spend the day in pre-trial detention?”“No, it was Renan Vasconcelos who should have been there!” Tiago roars, “What happened, how did he escape?”Ivan is at a loss to explain, “He didn't escape. He made the call he was entitled to... to Mayor Ibrahim.”“Did you mean Tobias Ibrahim? Because the son has nothing to do with the father!”“Don't let him hear you.” Ivan scoffs.“Don't make jokes, Sergeant! You made a big mistake!”“You mean the MAYOR made a big mistake?” Ivan distorts the matter.But Tiago doesn't fall for the linguistic trick, “I'm saying that Renan Vasconcelos is a dangerous man who doesn't deserve to be scot-free. Is the fact that he built a factory a reason for him to get away with it?”“We'll keep an eye on him, Mr. Bento. As the victim managed to escape from captivity but only gave us a phone call, there is no greater reason for him to be
Building My Life Chapter 1735 The Right Thing to Do
In the Teodoro building, Vera trembles at the possibility of stating the police.“No, Beto, NO! I’ll never commit such an absurdity!”Beto grabs both of his younger sister's shoulders, “Why the hell are you thinking like that?”“It's just that I—” Vera is pale and eyes wide to the extreme, “I'm afraid!”Teresa does 'pfff' and starts laughing, “My dear, we are all afraid. You shouldn't be ashamed.”“No, you don't understand. I never know what Renan Vasconcelos really is. Like I said, he was a gentleman at first, he saved me from being raped every weekend after my dance routine... but then he turned around, and got it into his head that he owns me!”Beto shakes his head, “Vera, you never should have left in 1987. If you were someone else... why, my sister, why did you throw yourself into this wildlife?”“I don't know, Beto, I don't know!” Vera starts crying uncontrollably.Beto hugs her, “Come on, let's go to the police station right now and correct this mistake. It all depends on you.”
Building My Life Chapter 1736 Too Late to Report
The biggest scandal takes place at the police station when Beto and the tenants continue to 'drive' Vera to the kidnapping division.Vera continues to struggle as if she's being dragged into a madhouse, “NO, LET ME GO FOR GOD'S SAKE!”Ivan comes out of his office, disgusted with the melodrama, “What's going on here?”Beto addresses him, “I need to speak with Sergeant Moraes or someone who was in charge of investigating Renan Vasconcelos.”Ivan takes a deep breath in boredom. He thought he got rid of this case, “Who referred me?”“Detective Amoreira said you had the hot potato.” Beto smiles.“Let go of me, Beto, I beg you!” Vera is already hoarse from screaming.But Beto continues, “Sergeant, this is my sister Vera Reis, the victim.”“The victim who just wanted to make a complaint over the phone, without providing more details that could help in the industrialist’s arrest?” Ivan asks this question which at the same time answers, “I can’t be blamed for the guy being on the loose.”Vera'
Building My Life Chapter 1737 Josias Still Cares
At Rocha Constructions, the new secretary gets up to take Josias's jacket.“Good day, sir. Was your expedition unsuccessful?”“Unfortunately, you can say that.” Josias grumbles, “Our mayor has his career in jeopardy because of a maniac. Is Tiago present?”As if arranged, Tiago, Wallace, and Uélton appear together.“I was asking about you, Tiago. Where were you?” Josias asks him.“Master, we better go to your room. You will need some chamomile tea.”“There's already that tea in the kitchen.” The secretary promptly leaves to fetch a cup.“Thank you, Pollyanna.” Tiago leads the visitors to the presidential room.The four gentlemen enter the enclosure, Wallace being the last to close the door.“What else happened, Tiago?” Josias asks in a distressed way, “Your countenance already betrays the next bad news.”“Master...” Tiago sits in the visitors' seat, “Melissa Mountain is in the hospital.”Josias widens his eyes to the fullest. Wallace realizes how his friend still cares about his ex-wif

Melissa and Kelvin safely return to Crystal Blue. Diane and Frederick applaud the couple.“Calm down, people, the situation was not so serious,” Melissa responds calmly.But Dr. Silvana insisted on accompanying her, “What do you mean, Melissa?

That's what you want, isn't it?”“Of course I want this,” Melissa responds with tears in her eyes.Diane informs them, “Daryl left to pick up Alan and Caroline from school.”The restaurant door opens and those mentioned enter desperately.“MOMMY!” Alan and Caroline run and hug Melissa. The three end up crying.“Calm down, my kids, mommy is fine.”“I don't want you to die, Mommy,” Alan exclaims in distress.Diane can't resist and ends up crying too. How long will we have violence in this city?Kelvin is looking somber, “Well, now that you're all here, you better head to the police station.”“What’s the use of going to the police station?” Daryl dismissively ask

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,
