Building My Life Chapter 1803 Don't Want a Wimpy Son
Flávia doesn't agree that Alan is speaking so aggressively. The boy is only twelve years old and will be thirteen this year. Why does he have this ruthless, cold businessman talk?“Alan, take it easy.” She tries to defuse the situation, “You still have a lot to learn.”But Alan stares at her with a frown, “Mrs. Freire, the sooner I accept my fate, the better.”The answer makes Uélton smile from ear to ear, “See, Reuben? Be aggressive and domineering like your best friend Alan, and you'll conquer the world.”Flavia rolls her eyes. She totally disagrees with this position and wants Reuben to be as meek and docile as possible, “What is this, Uélton? Do you want our son to be a bandit like Renan Vasconcelos?”Melissa is displeased, “Please, don't mention that name in this clean place! Flávia, you don't want your son to become a weakling either.”Flávia was going to retort, but Isabel's wise look made her silent.Reuben approaches Alan, “What about your brothers?”Alan maintains a mature l

Katherine is drooling over her new room. It’s on the side of Josias's office, having the same large windows that light up the space, not as big as the executive director's office, but definitely bigger than the one in the Vargas Building.“And then, dear?” Josias asks, seeing her happy, “Is the room approved?”“It sure is!” Katherine hugs him, “Who said you weren't? And so, son, do you approve?”“Cool, Mom,” J.J. responds sweetly.“Oh, you’ll come to visit Mom and you can wait here.” She points to an armchair, “Let's put some books on this shelf.”Melissa stops at the office door and watches Josias with his new family formation. She smiles slightly.Isabel approaches from behind, “They're pretty happy, aren't they?”Melissa gives a slight start and turns to her friend, “Yes, Izzy. They are happy and I thank God for that.”“And you, my dear?” Isabel gently asks, “Are you happy?”“I am.” Melissa nods, “I have my kids and twins. In fact, I think it's time for me to leave.”“Isn't there a

The next day, Josias is showing off his new office. Octavio, Tiago, Alfred, and Pollyanna applaud another achievement by Josias.“With all due respect to Jack, but I am the king of the world!” Josias jokes, paraphrasing the film.“What now, master?” Tiago asks, “How does it feel to win another stage of your life?”“Everaldo said I would have more blessings and I didn't believe it.” Josias stares at the urban skyline, “But he was right, as always. Are there more things to conquer?”“Of course, there is more. The sky is the limit.” Alfred responds excitedly.“Okay, everyone, let's start 1998 with a great job!” Josias claps his hands.The desk phone rings and Pollyanna walks over, “Oops, I've already started my work.” She answers, “Hello?”On the other side, Miguel is at his desk, “Hello, can I speak to Mr. Rocha? Here is Mr. Damascene.”“Just a moment.” She passes the mouthpiece, “Sir, it's your lawyer.”“Let's go away.” Octavio gestures and the others leave, leaving the boss alone.Jos
Building My Life Chapter 1806 College is important
Simeon and Dora get upset when they hear their eldest grandson announce that he won't be going to college.“What do you mean by that?” Dora exclaims, “Caio, nowadays, anyone who wants to have a full and fulfilled life needs to study more!”“Grandma, I’m already getting tired of High School.” Caio explains himself, “I'm learning what I need to continue working at the pizzeria.”Simeon raises his eyebrows, “So that's it? Are you thinking of staying forever at this pizzeria? My grandson, this is for people like your father and your grandparents, people who have no prospects for the future.”William feels outraged, “HEY, what do you mean, I have no purpose in life? My goal is to make this goddamn pizzeria grow, dammit!”Dora places her hand on her glabella, “Do we need this language?”“I think it's the only language you understand me,” William grumbles.“Son, get some sense in your little head.” Simeon advises him, “You are no longer the teenager of the '80s. Time is passing, your life is
Building My Life Chapter 1807 Feeling Guilty
Melissa is stunned when Alan arrives unexpectedly, and just with a scandalous question.She takes a deep breath and decides to answer calmly, “Son, I'm not in love with your father.”Alan makes a face that Melissa can't read. Disappointment?“O really?” He finally confirms, “If you saw yourself in a mirror...”“How I was?” Melissa smiles, deciding to take this topic as a joke.“Like a little girl in love talking to someone from the Backstreet Boys.” Alan finally smiles.Melissa bursts out laughing, “Son, what a scare! I thought you were asking seriously.”Alan is slightly embarrassed. He WAS asking seriously, “Well... Kelvin can rest easy, right?”“I won’t betray your stepfather just now that I have given birth to your brothers.” Melissa bends down and kisses her son's forehead, “Don't worry, young man, your mother won't create any scandal like Rosemary's mother.”“She and Pedro still haven’t returned,” Alan notes this detail.“Carmen said they're going to stay there. It's better than
Building My Life Chapter 1808 Josias Is Still Family
Katherine is having a cup of coffee in the new kitchen. She might have expected one of the ladies cater to serve her, but she decided to use her legs to get to know her new surroundings. The kitchen, three times the size of the old one in the Vargas Building, contained all the latest appliances, and the central table was huge, allowing more people to sit if they wanted to.But Katherine sipped her black coffee standing up. Octavio and Alfred appear laughing at any joke.“Will you tell me the joke?” Katherine smiles at them.“Kate!” Alfred greets her, “Or should I say, Mrs. Rocha?”“Please, continue the camaraderie. I won't call them Mr. Motta or Mr. Paterson.” Katherine shrugs.“You are the boss.” Alfred concludes, “But remember, Kate, things are a little different now.”“What has changed?” Katherine places the cup on the saucer.Octavio helps himself as he responds, “The fact that you are now the most powerful woman in Lagoon City.”Katherine takes a deep breath, “I don't want to let

The next day, the Mountain family is excited, putting some huge posters on the windowpane and at the entrance to Crystal Blue. The signs read: 'Dear Customers: Crystal Blue will be temporarily closed for renovations!'Rodrigo helped Kelvin hang the poster on the window, “I think it got crooked.”“I think it got perfect.” Kelvin opines, “Honey, how's the poster?”Melissa looks on with the precision of an architect, “It's crooked, honey. A little bit more to the left.”Rodrigo laughs while Kelvin gets upset.Daryl approaches Melissa from behind and startles her by saying, “You should have lied, Melissa.”“Wow!” Melissa turns to her brother-in-law, “Daryl, I’ll never lie to my husband in even the smallest of things.”“Does that mean then that you’ll lie about big things?” Daryl asks with an icy face.Melissa doesn't like the suggestive tone, “I’ll never lie to my husband, no matter the size of the situation.”Daryl smiles, but Melissa doesn't like his smile, “Allow me to explain somethin

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,
