Building My Life Chapter 1783 Did We Have Another Choice?
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
Building My Life Chapter 1784 It's Better to Confess
In the canteen at the Teodoro Building, Vera is confronted by Teresa over a controversial issue.She clears her throat and picks up the silverware she dropped, “Tess, why do you associate joy with making love?”“I don't know why, every woman who is loved in bed by a gentleman feels happier,” Teresa answers dreamily.Vera wrinkles her nose, “Do you speak from experience?”Teresa giggles, “Vera, I don't think it's a secret or surprise to you that your brother and I...”Vera quickly takes the utensils to the sink, “I know, I know, I don't need you to top it up. My brother always thought with his lower head.”“And what a head...” Teresa shakes her head, feeling like a harlot, “Ehr... let's change the subject. So Wally keeps treating you like a princess?”“Yes.” Vera smiles like a teenager and carelessly drops the kitchen utensils into the sink, “He doesn’t treat me like Renan’s customers.”“Ugh, skip this part.” Teresa makes a face.“I think the big issue is that Wallace, in a way, is sti
Building My Life Chapter 1785 New Release
Josias disagrees with Octavio's idea. Confess the truth?He sits in the presidential chair with a defeated expression, “Octavio, you heard me earlier. I am seriously considering confessing.”“Josias, do you know all the details of the loan shark’s death?” Octavio asks.“No. Tiago took care of everything. That's why I say I didn't kill the bastard. I didn't pull the trigger on any gun. I don't even know how it happened or who actually fired that revolver with such precision.”Octavio insists, “But I can see how this is eating you up inside.”Josias smiles slightly, “That's why I want to come up with a solution. Even if I am convicted of the moneylender's death, that mustn’t alleviate Renan Vasconcelos' crimes. The smart guy is trying to use me as a diversion, and that Sergeant Moraes is playing his game.”“Then good luck with tomorrow's lawyer.” Octavio shrugs. He still thinks that Josias should clear his conscience, but he decides to end the conversation and leave.Josias nods his hea
Building My Life Chapter 1786 Josias to the Attack
The secretary who occupied Pamela's post smiles when she recognizes the visitor, “You must be Josias Rocha, correct?”“Yes. Did you recognize me, miss?”“I'm not a miss anymore, thank goodness.” The secretary holds out her hand showing a wedding ring, then gestures to a framed picture on her desk. The portrait showed her, an extremely handsome and burly guy and two children, a boy and a girl who is the secretary's spitting image. Everyone was having fun on the beach.“That means your boss leaves you alone.” Josias jokes.The secretary laughs, amused, “I'll call him.” She picks up the phone and dials an extension, “Sir, Mr. Rocha came as scheduled... OK.” She hangs up, “Go through, sir.”“Thanks.” Josias nods and opens the office's varnished double doors......and finds Miguel Damascene.Miguel gets up and extends a manly hand to shake Josias’s hand. Josias always feels smaller compared to this big man.“Josias! What a pleasure to see you! How are things?”“They’re not doing very well,
Building My Life Chapter 1787 From 'Mrs. Freire' to 'Izzy'
“We need to focus on supporting our mom's next book signing.” Wallace determines.“For sure. All on account of Marçal Publishing. Hopefully, Vernon Queiroz will help us with the publicity.” Uélton, again, wants to scratch his head, but he scratches his orange helmet.“Mother told me how you and he fought in the early 90s. Just you, huh, Uélton.” Wallace laughs again.Uélton shrugs. At the time, it was a matter of honor to defend the dear wife from Elza and Elisa's attacks. But now, Elisa was far away, and Elza regenerated.******At Damascene Lawyers, the conversation between Josias and Miguel continues.Miguel has his chin resting on one hand, and his elbow resting on the desk. His expression is one of someone who wants to understand the subject deeply.“Josias, for me to defend you, I need to know all the details. You can count on my discretion.”“Are we going to have a doctor-patient style trust relationship?” Josias asks jokingly.“We can say that.” Miguel narrows his eyes, “Did y

Josias appears at Rocha Constructions, coming from Damascene Lawyers, calmer and more confident. Pollyanna is impacted by his aura.“Good morning, Mr. Rocha.”“Pollyanna, please, pour me a nice cup of coffee.”“Immediately, boss.” She gets up and obediently goes to the kitchen.Josias is nearly dancing to the office. Upon opening the door, he finds Tiago and Octavio anxiously waiting for him.“Wow! What was there? I didn't know we had a meeting.”“Master,” Tiago greets him, “we want to know how you did at the meeting.”Josias widens his smile, “You know you're going to help us? The same Miguel Damascene!”“The pervert who banged Pamela Chaves in the workplace and got her pregnant?” Octavio puts the situation in this controversial light.Josias breaks the smile, “Don't talk like that, Octavio. Remember that Pamela liked to cheat on Beto with Miguel and then tried to say that Little Theo was his son. The nerve of naming him after his grandfather... anyway, the good news is that he will

Following day. Miguel shows up at Ivan Moraes's office to find out what's going on in the sergeant's head.“Good morning, I hope I'm talking to the famous Sergeant Moraes.”Ivan smiles, his ego inflated, “And since when am I famous?”“Since you are mixing two cases into one,” Miguel smirks and closes the door.Ivan's smile fades like a flower, “You are Mr. Vasconcelos’s attorney?”“No, I’m Mr. Rocha’s attorney. And the fact that you mentioned the miscreant in the first place says a lot about you.” Miguel pulls up a chair to sit down.“Come on, sir, my time is precious—”“Miguel Damascene.”The surname Damascene made the sergeant shut up instantly and break into a cold sweat, “Josias Rocha doesn’t play to lose, huh?”“Sergeant Moraes, my client has every reason to file a lawsuit against the police station.” Miguel smiles like a spider about to capture a fly with its web, “A guy was accused and arrested for having a prostitution ring and using a textile company as a front, but after he
Building My Life Chapter 1790 Thinking of a Probable Promotion
Meanwhile, in Francisco's apartment, he is also being probed by his children about a possible marriage.“Hey, little sister,” Rodrigo comments jokingly, “Are you aware that my father is winning the heart of the widow Freire?”Francisco has an expression of displeasure, “Isn't there a better way to call her, son? ‘Widow Freire’ is so morbid!”Veronica mockingly opines, “Believe me, Dad, it's better than calling her ‘Merry Widow’.”Francisco can't stay angry with his children, so he decides to explain, “Guys, I'm not embarking on a romantic relationship with Isabel Freire.”“Why not?” Rodrigo and Veronica ask at the same time.Francisco is startled. Looks like they already approved dating before it even existed!“I haven't asked her out yet.” Francisco takes a sip of coffee, “Actually, we barely have the intimacy for that.”“That's because you wasted precious time in your life lusting after our aunt.” Veronica speaks with excitement despite the acidic words, “Now you can make up for the

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,
