Vera returns from the police station with a relieved mind and soul. The confident countenance when entering the lobby of the Teodoro building infects Teresa and Beto.As part of the tradition, the lobby radio is playing “A Little Bit of Ecstasy” by Jocelyn Enriquez.“Little sister!” Beto exclaims and goes straight to hug his sister, “So, how was it?”“It was wonderful to vent and face past ghosts bro!” Vera exclaims excitedly.The embrace is broken.Teresa approaches her, “Welcome back, sister-in-law.”“So, what was it like living in the Rocha Mansion?” Vera curiously questions him.“Maggiezine didn't over-describe.” Beto responds, “The place is beautiful and refined. Josias deserves all that comfort after spending his youth hiding here in the favela wearing only sweatpants and R$5.00 in his pocket.”“I hope to be invited one day,” Vera comments as she breaks the hug.“The pool is a beauty.” Beto adds, “And I managed to swim naked the other night without Josias noticing.”“BETO!” Vera

In the Mountain Penthouse, everyone is in the living room after checking on the twins. The radio is playing “Stand By Me” by Oasis.Melissa announces to Alan and Caroline, “Children, Grandpa and Grandma are returning from Paris.”“Yay!” they exclaim.Caio is with them, “I hope my grandfather brings me a present. Maybe Grandma Dora managed to buy an exquisite perfume?”Melissa laughs, “Caio, you are very ambitious. With the money you are earning at the pizzeria, you can buy an international brand perfume for yourself.”“I hope, aunt.” Caio expresses hope.“That is, if the pizzeria doesn’t go bankrupt first,” Kelvin comments from his armchair.“Actually, Kelvin, with the article that came out in Maggiezine, the clientele increased at the pizzeria,” Caio informs him.Maggie smiles satisfied, “Ah, glad I helped.”“I want to help too, Aunt Maggie.” Caroline tugs at her blouse lightly.Maggie strokes her head, “When you're big, dear niece. Oh, and when your sister grows up, don't be jealous
Building My Life Chapter 1765 An Ominous Summons
The next day, Josias is reading the daily newspaper in his private library in the Rocha Mansion. The Economics section is quite lively. And Josias is also excited: the more Brazil prospers, the more Rocha Constructions prospers together.The desk phone rings and he answers it, “Hello?”One of the employees who replaced Lilian informs him, “Sir, Sergeant Moraes from the police station wants to speak with you.”“OK, I'll take it.” Josias waits to hear Ivan's voice.“Good morning, Mr. Rocha!” Ivan is in a weird tone in Josias's opinion, “Ehr... hope I didn't wake you up.”“No, I can't afford to wake up late on weekdays,” Josias responds excitedly.“OK, good... Ehr... could you come over to the police station?”“Is it to talk about Renan Vasconcelos?” Josias tries to understand the sergeant's fear, “I don't know if I'll be much help.”“It was what Mr. Bento said.” Ivan hastily replies, “But it will be of great importance, sir.”“I already gave my statement regarding the crazy talk in the

Wallace is curious to know what Vera has decided to do with her life.“Wally, I've decided I'm going to get some professional help before we start a reliable relationship.” She responds with her head down.Wallace smiles, “But Vera... that's cause for rejoicing! I don't understand why you are sad as if it were something shameful.”“It's just that now you're gonna think I'm crazy, or you're gonna be afraid of triggering my traumas and moving away from me...”Wallace gently takes Vera's face and lifts it. She looks at him with teary eyes.“I won’t abandon you,” Wallace speaks in a serious yet romantic tone that melts Vera's heart.“My dear Wally...”“No more wasting time.” Wallace responds, “I was pretty dumb not to realize I was marrying a wonderful woman in 1985. Well, I'm not letting you escape again.”“But what about my treatment? It could take months... years...”“Take your time.” Wallace smiles slightly, “When the psychiatrist decides you are capable of marrying me, we’ll do it.”
Building My Life Chapter 1767 Love and Understanding
Josias is upset when he learns that Renan didn't want to sink in the high tide without dragging him along, the smart guy.He takes a deep breath and tries to defend himself as much as possible, “Sergeant Moraes, I need to locate myself in this story first. Renan Vasconcelos was detained for kidnapping and chasing Vera Reis and for maintaining an illegal establishment in the capital where numerous crimes took place. What does the death of the moneylender that occurred thirteen years ago have to do with this case?”Ivan checks the computer-printed sheets in Courier font, “Well... according to the detainee, you just helped the authorities to arrest him because of this incident. Mr. Vasconcelos would have said something about you being the mastermind of the crime.”Josias's heart races, but on the outside, he remains calm, “And how does Mr. Vasconcelos know that I had anything to do with it?”“Mr. Rocha, it's no secret to anyone here in Lagoon City that you were the victim of that loan sh

Josias is taken to Renan's provisional detention cell. When he finds him, his look is one of contempt and disgust.Renan was unshaven and his clothes were frayed and fetid with sweat. On the other side of the cell was another detainee for another crime that we will ignore for the moment.Renan smiles ironically when he sees Josias again, “Hey, you mean my denunciation paid off? They threw you to the joint, huh?”Josias turns up his nose, “I came here just to tell you that your ruse didn't work, pal!”Renan undoes the mocking smile, “What did you say?”“Prison didn’t affect your hearing.” Josias counters, this time it's his turn to smile, “You tried to drag me into the mud with you without explaining to the sergeant how you got involved in the loan shark's story. A failed attempt, my comrade.”Renan gets up, with a threatening face. If it weren't for the bars, there would have been a fight right then, “I was hoping you'd explain to the sergeant in my place.”Josias is surprised by the

Katherine was thoughtful in her office, remembering the conversation she had overheard from Tiago over the phone.She knew that Josias went to the police station to discuss the arrest of Renan Vasconcelos. But why did he talk to Tiago about the moneylender's death? What does one thing have to do with another?Could it be that Renan Vasconcelos was somehow involved with the loan shark? And is that why the sergeant summoned Josias to appear?Octavio enters her office, “Good morning, Kate! Thinking about wedding details?”Katherine disguises herself, “Yes, Octavio. There are so many things to arrange...”“I thought I had almost everything ready.” Octavio pulls up a chair and sits down face to face, “Even I know that the ceremony will be in your mansion, the honeymoon will be in Paris...”Katherine smiles, “Ah, but I assure you that for the occasion to be perfect, we cannot neglect the details. How about you?”Octavio is slightly surprised, “I beg your pardon?”Katherine giggles, “Come on

Vera is in front of the person who promised to help her but only made her situation worse.Renan still tries to make himself worthy, “How could you do this to me, Vera? Why did you run away from the Rocha Hotel? I saved you, I was treating you like a princess!”“You were treating me like a prisoner!” Vera roars, “And everything changed when I found out you owned the very same nightclub where I was being bullied.” Vera claps her hands ironically, “And you still say I should thank you for getting me out of there, but what about the other dancers?”“I felt you didn't fit in that place,” Renan responds dryly.But Vera is not calmed by this, “I thought you were going to say that you fell in love with me. But that didn't even happen, right? You didn't see me as a woman, you saw me as property, the ‘boss wife’.”“I respected you.” Renan retorts.“Of course, because you didn't want to add ‘rape’ to your criminal record, correct? You’ll still be indicted for it. I hope the Victoria Police hunt

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

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,
