Building My Life Chapter 1776 Trying to Dig More
Ivan approaches the cell where Renan is. The businessman is intrigued by Josias's proposal.“Even if he buys me my share of Vasconcelos Fabrics, what good is the money if I'm in jail?”“It shall serve to pay your bail,” Ivan responds with sarcasm.“Sergeant!” Ivan is astonished, “I want to take advantage of this and ban Josias Rocha from entering. He is not my friend or family to be visiting.”Ivan smirks, “Yeah, I know... I was also surprised by the presence of someone who claims to have no connection with you.”Ivan tries one more time, “Mr. Vasconcelos, are you sure that—”Renan vomits violently, “How many times do I have to repeat it? Yes, Josias Rocha killed loan shark José Augusto Rios, but somehow, he came out as the hero of the story! I thought taking the law into one's own hands was wrong.”Ivan holds the bars and, with a frown, digs deeper, “And how are you so sure, Mr. Vasconcelos? You seem to have personal knowledge of the subject. Was the moneylender, by any chance, your

A week later, Wallace and Vera go together to the Lagoon City Cemetery to pay their respects to their parents. Wallace's walkman was playing “Gone Away” by The Offspring.When Vera approached Teodoro's tombstone, she began to cry desperately, unable to bear the guilt and shame, “I'm sorry, father, I'm sorry! I killed you, I killed you! I told you that Wally raped me, but that's not true! Please, father, forgive me, forgive your slutty, promiscuous daughter!”Wallace tightly hugged his girlfriend, keeping quiet, letting her vent what was stuck in her throat and her core.Josias approaches and finds the grieving couple, “Glad I found you.”Wallace turns to him, “Josias, what are you doing here?”“I think the same as you.” Josias smiles slightly, “Uélton called me and said you would come here.”“Oh, my little bro can’t hold his tongue.” Wallace chuckles while Vera sniffs.Josias puts his hand on her shoulder, “Vera, don't worry. Your father is certainly aware of your grief. The last thin
Building My Life Chapter 1778 Bitter Letter
At Rocha Constructions, Tiago is working at his desk, looking over the company's finances. Around him, two assistants help him with planning and detecting unnecessary expenses.His desk phone rings and he answers it, “Hello?”On the other side, a desperate Amoreira yells, “Hello, Mr. Bento? This is Detective Amoreira.”“Hello, Amoreira. What tone of despair is that?”“I have every reason in the world to be desperate.” Amoreira says in one breath, “They freed Renan Vasconcelos again!”“What did you say?” Tiago rises as if propelled by springs, “Who ordered this wretch to be freed from his sins?”“Ironically, it was the money that Josias Rocha used to pay for Vasconcelos Fabrics,” Amoreira reports as if he still didn’t believe in the terrible coincidence.“Don't the parents know they have a child who is a pimp and promoter of violation?” Tiago asks sourly.“I think they know, but they defend their son all the same.” Amoreira shakes his head, “That's the only explanation that comes to mi

Josias enters Rocha Constructions headquarters only to find all of his employees in an uproar.Octavio speaks to him while Pollyanna is too distressed to formulate words.“Josias, did you hear the news on your car radio?”“No, I was busy with my own thoughts.” Josias maintains the charismatic smile, “Why is everyone desperate?”“It’s because we have bad news.” Octavio takes that dramatic break that always happens in telenovelas.But because of this pause, Katherine barges into the foyer and hugs her fiancé fervently, “Darling! Josias, you need to do something urgently! Why is it so hard to keep the industrial pervert behind bars?”Josias is indignant and the smile fades. Katherine backs away, waiting for his directive.Tiago also comes over, “Master, I am so sorry.”“Can someone tell me what happened?” Josias asks bitterly.“We received a call from Detective Amoreira.” Tiago begins to explain, “He found out firsthand that the pimp industrialist was released and will face trial on prov

The next day, Josias met with Tiago and Octavio at his mansion. Katherine is serving breakfast instead of letting the maid do it.Josias raises an eyebrow, “Honey, don't think you'll be able to join the conversation.”“I don't think, I will.” Katherine sets the tray of bread and cheese and ham in front of him. J.J. starts laughing.“The matter is too dangerous for you.” Josias starts again. Yesterday he sweated to keep Katherine out of the presidential office.The maid who was supposed to serve breakfast appeared in the dining room, “Mr. Rocha, the gentlemen Bento and Motta appeared.”“Ask them to have coffee with us.” Josias gestures with a warm smile.But when the maid left, he returned to the serious face, “Honey, please, stay out of this matter.”Katherine, on the contrary, pulls up a chair and sits down, “I already know that you had the loan shark killed and I am on your side.”“I didn't kill the bastard!” Josias pummels the table, scaring J.J.“Are you going to behave like that
Building My Life Chapter 1781 Reanimating the Girlfriend
At the Rocha Mansion, Josias is forced to agree to Katherine's presence at the dinner table with Octavio and Tiago.Octavio asks, “How did you find out, Kate?”“I figured it out by intuition.” Katherine proudly responds, “Everyone refused to answer me, so silence was the answer I needed.”“Sweetheart, this is all very irregular—” Josias tries to warn her.But Tiago loses his temper, “Master, please, it's useless to stop the young madam.” He turns to Katherine, “I was the one who ordered the loan shark's death. Your fiancé doesn't have blood on his hands, but it was the moneylender or him.”“I prefer my darling a million times over.” Katherine responds passionately, “I can't imagine what would happen if the loan shark were still alive.”“He swears he didn't want to kill me, just collect my biological father's debt.” Josias comments sarcastically, “But I always refused to pay a debt that wasn't mine. I doubt that a violent guy full of henchmen would remain ‘peaceful’ and unpaid.”“Furth

Diane enters her husband's office and finds him watching a sheet being printed by the computer. She closes the door and finds his closed expression strange.“Are you printing out the financial report for the restaurant, dear?”“No.” Daryl responds dryly, “I'm printing out a rude letter to answer my mother's insult. If we have kids, she'll ask if you slept with another guy!”Diane shakes her head, “Impossible, my love. She doesn't know any other guys, and you were my first boyfriend.”“I know. And she knows it. But she will certainly dare. Before she bothers, I'm already answering.”The printer finishes the command and Diane pulls out the sheet to read, “Dear Mother: If you ask if my wife Diane got pregnant by another guy, she'll take your guesswork and stick it in the—”Diane turns pale at the typed curse word.

At Crystal Blue, noon service is being held. Kelvin is as usual in his post as maître d', much to the delight of the ladies.“I made a reservation for four.” A lady patron mischievously requests the reserved table by curling her hair with a finger and winking suggestively.“Table 05,” Kelvin responds curtly, not paying attention to the shameless customer's flirting. She gives up and is ushered in by the waiter with a sour face. Her three friends follow them, equally disappointed.Melissa enters the restaurant, and Kelvin's icy face instantly changes: a wide smile appears in seconds and the atmosphere around him seems to bloom like a garden.“Good morning, darling!” Kelvin greets her gallantly, making the previous patrons burn with envy, “Did you reserve a table?”“I'm going to drown my sorrows at the bar with Diane's cocktails!” Melissa responds coldly.“What happened?” Kelvin comes out from behind the counter, “Honey, when you're in trouble, look for your hubby and not a glass of whi

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

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

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,
