Building My Life Chapter 1839 Column of Support
Everyone is apprehensive about Uélton losing strength. They leave the room just as the doctor and two nurses bustle in.“We need space! Wait outside, please!” The doctor orders them.In the hallway, Isabel begins to have tears in her eyes. Wallace hugs her.“Mom, don't even think about it! We won’t lose another family member, no!”“Son...” Isabel sniffs, “I think it's time we must accept...”“No, mother, NO!” Wallace walks away, disgusted, “What's going on? Everything was wonderful when I was in prison. When I came back, only tragedies occur! Everyone will die because of me!”Josias grabs Wallace by the sleeve of his shirt and shakes him, “Wallace, STOP! This is not the time to panic!”“Josias, it’s my little brother!” Wallace starts to cry, “How would you react if you were João Paulo, huh?”“I would have to be strong for my mother and my children!” Josias asserts, “And cut the talk about it being your fault, that's not true!”Wallace takes a deep breath and calms down a bit, “Still,
Building My Life Chapter 1840 Reuben Is the Son of Uélton Freire
Isabel enters Reuben's room and finds him with a nurse. When she realizes that her son looks exactly like his father, her heart sinks. Reuben doesn't have the large ears like his father, but he's just as chatty.“Nurse, did you know that I am going to marry Caroline Rocha?” He excitedly comments, “Of course, first I have to get out of here, heal my wounds, wait for my dad to wake up, and then I have to grow old enough to propose. I want to propose in the middle of Ibrahim Square with everyone watching. Do you think she will like it?”The nurse bursts out laughing, “Of course she’ll do, Reuben. Women love romantic guys.”“I hope your boyfriend does the same thing,” Reuben speaks with no sense of being rude.But the nurse points out that Reuben is a child, “He already proposed to me, and we were already married.”“But was it in the middle of Ibrahim Square?”“REUBEN.” Isabel decides to interrupt the conversation, “Don't bother the nurse with personal questions.”The nurse promptly gets
Building My Life Chapter 1841 William Is To Blame
Reuben is smiling childishly and carefree at the three gentlemen he one day aspires to be: wise grandpa Simeon, famous and wealthy Uncle Josias, and cool Uncle Wally.“Hi, guys! Did you come to tell me that I'm leaving the hospital? Am I healed?”“Reuben.” Wallace feels a lump in his throat, “We need to talk to you seriously.”“I know, about the bomb William planted in our house.” Reuben scowls, “Who's going to pay for the house repairs, he?”Josias replies menacingly, “He will pay.”“Great, now I can nap peacefully.” Reuben sinks back into the pillows, “And when my sleepy father wakes, tell him he'll need twenty years for that beauty sleep he so often claims.”Wallace strokes his nephew's hair, “Reuben, you need to know something about your father. He... he won’t wake up anymore.”“Was the knock he took on the head that hard?” Reuben asks innocently.“Yes, Reuben.” Simeon takes care of completing the news, “I'm sorry, boy, but... your father passed away a little while ago.”Reuben st
Building My Life Chapter 1842 No One Could Foresee
Contrary to what Simeon and Dora think, William is already awake, but in boxer shorts and a white tank top, sweeping the living room floor to the rhythm of the song “Heaven's What I Feel”, by Gloria Estefan, without imagining that his family is thinking in Heaven this moment.Simeon and Dora go upstairs to the second floor and break down the door, scaring their son.“YAU! What the hell is this, want you guys to scare me to death?”Simeon didn't even think twice and punched his son with a straight right, “DAMN IT! It was you who killed him, you imbecile!”William staggers back, letting the broom clatter to the floor, “OUCH! What happened, why are you hitting me?”“Do you want to take another punch to jog your memory?” Simeon spins his clenched fist in the air.Dora approaches, “Enough, darling! One is enough.”William stares in horror at the person who should be defending the child she bore in the womb, “MOM! Why are you advocating this violence?”Dora rolls her eyes, “As seen, you're

The following day, everyone gathered for Uélton Freire's funeral and burial.Vernon took charge of the news story and tried to be as discreet as possible. If that happened while they were still enemies, the news in the newspaper would come out as acidic and disrespectful towards the deceased.Wallace decided to shelter Isabel and Reuben in his house, in fact, Isabel's old house when Harold was still alive.The radio in the living room was playing “Thank U” by Alanis Morissette, making Isabel sigh, “Yes, I thank God I had a wonderful son.”Wallace notices a detail, “Mom, the fire destroyed a lot, including your computer! How are you going to work?”“Don’t worry son. I have some money saved in my bank account. I can buy another one, just as I can buy other belongings.”“I have what's left.” Reuben shakes out his backpack with some clothes they managed to salvage from the rubble.Someone knocks on the door. Wallace goes to see who it is and finds Kelvin and Melissa outside.“Can we get i
Building My Life Chapter 1844 Not My Father, But My Older Brother
Kelvin and Melissa enter the funeral home and find the other acquaintances. They greet everyone.As they close in on Josias, Daryl snaps back to attention, but a wary look from Kelvin keeps the big brother from making a scene.“Josias, I am so sorry for your loss.” Melissa says, “Uélton was always like a kind of younger brother to you.”“Yes, until João Paulo came along.” Josias waddles in regret, “Why, even with João Paulo, I always cared for Uélton as if he were family, especially when Wallace was in jail.”“Glad he left...” Kelvin says, “In time to say goodbye.”Josias smirks, “The poor guy is thinking he should stay in jail as if he's bringing a curse on the family.”“Well, I don't blame him.” Melissa says with a sigh, “First, it was the father who died two years before, and now, Uélton.”“These are things that happen, none of it was premeditated.” Josias frowns, “I don't think anyone should feel guilty.”Dora approaches them, “Ah, but there is someone who is symbolically guilty,
Building My Life Chapter 1845 The Punishment
Josias continued with the eulogy.“Uélton Freire, against the expectations of many, proved to be a great man, a great citizen of Lagoon City, a great husband, father, and son. We’ll miss him. I’ll miss you...” Josias smiles slightly, “Looks like I can no longer ask him to discipline your tongue. Incidentally, his last words were 'I know you love me the way I am'.”Some women start to cry. Isabel wipes her tears with a silk handkerchief, smiling at the memory.Josias can't take it anymore, “That's all, thank you.”Everyone applauds. Wallace is proud of the speech honoring his younger brother.The priest goes up to the tribune where Josias was and begins to say a prayer.But Simeon and Dora are still bothered by the fact that William wasn't there...******At William's house, he is now showered and resting on the sofa. The radio this time plays the song “Say You Love Me” by Simply Red.The door opens and Caio enters. He glares at his father.“Son! How were the funeral and posthumous tri
Building My Life Chapter 1846 Fear of lamps
Time passes, and with it, the pain of Uélton's death felt by the Freire family. Isabel and Reuben are still well-settled in the Mountain Penthouse.The living room radio plays “La Copa de la Vida”, by Ricky Martin. Everyone is excited for the next World Cup, this time held in France, and the perspective of Brazil being five times champion.Melissa shrugged about it, “We were four times champions in 1994. Don't you think it would be good to leave the opportunity to another national team?”Kelvin almost has a heart attack with such a question, “Honey, where's the patriotic spirit? No, the more trophies we win, the better!”“OK, I'm just bored.” Melissa smiles.On the couch, Alan and Reuben were checking their sticker albums.“I already have this one of Romário, take it for yourself.” Alan passes him a sticker.“Thanks, Alan.” Reuben thanks him.Melissa looks at the boys and thinks they are brothers.Isabel comes from Melissa's office, “Melissa, thanks again for letting me use your compu

Chapter 3162 Can We Trust Brendon?
That morning, at Rocha Constructions, Josias and Alfred walked down the hallway, engaged in a serious conversation about Brendon.“So, Alfred?” Josias asked, his tone sharp with curiosity. “Can we trust the guy?”Alfred nodded with confidence. “We can. Unless he’s twice as cunning as David.”Josias scoffed. “Impossible. My son took masterclasses in villainy.”Alfred hesitated for a moment before asking, “You’ve really given up on him, haven’t you?”Josias sighed, his voice tinged with regret. “I always tried to be fair, to integrate him into the family... but he’s been strange since he was a kid. I think he still expects me to marry his mother.”As they made their way through the bustling office, Alfred stifled a chuckle. “Pfff... Sorry, Josias, but that’s absolutely impossible. You love Melissa.”“I always have,” Josias admitted. “Of course, when she was married to Kelvin, I kept my distance.”“But things didn’t work out with Kelvin, and now you two are back together.”“And this time
Chapter 3161 Commercial Shoot
The next day, the Rocha family gathered for breakfast, joined by Simeon, Dora, Ignacio, and Mary. The atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.Hector appeared at the doorway, hesitant to interrupt but clearly carrying important news.“Speak, Hector,” Josias prompted.“Mr. Rocha, your eldest son is here,” Hector announced.Melissa looked up in surprise, dabbing her lips with a napkin. “This early?”“Let him in,” she said, setting her napkin down.Mary beamed. “Yay! Alan is joining us!”Ignacio, less convinced, muttered, “Maybe he already ate.”Dora glanced at her husband. “Could something have happened at the company — or at Vaztrans?”Simeon smirked. “I’d bet on the second option.”Just then, Alan entered with a broad smile.“Good morning, beautiful people! Oh, how I’ve missed these breakfasts!”“Don’t just miss them,” Melissa teased. “Pull up a chair and sit down!”Unable to resist, Alan sank into a seat, momentarily reliving his teenage years.Josias leaned in. “Tell us, son. What ha

Alan sat at his desk in Rocha Constructions, focused on some important matters on his computer. The night had fallen outside, but he was too absorbed in work to notice. The office door opened, and Alfred stepped in.“Alan, may I have a word with you?” he asked.“Come in,” Alan replied without looking up.Alfred approached the desk. “The order processing team came across an unusual request.”Alan stopped typing and turned his attention to Alfred. “What kind of request?”“A renovation request for Angel’s Store.”Alan immediately flared up, rising from his chair. “What kind of joke is this? Cancel the request IMMEDIATELY!”“Normally, they would,” Alfred explained, “but the online form was submitted by Brendon Souza.”Hearing the name, Alan calmed down, reconsidering the situation. “Is he related to David? Someone who took over the store while David was at the hotel?”“Maybe. He placed the order through the website,” Alfred said.Alan crossed his arms, deep in thought. “I doubt David woul
Chapter 3159 Suzy’s Investments
Luís stepped into the Vaztrans Mansion, taking in the surroundings with a sense of nostalgia. He glanced around, a faint smile on his lips as he took in the familiar space. Engrácia passed behind him, carrying his luggage up to his old suite. Alan and Sofia stood nearby, watching him settle in.“I need to get back to the company as soon as possible,” Alan said, turning to Sofia. “Can you help him get settled in?”“Of course, darling,” Sofia replied before addressing Luís. “So, cousin? Feeling nostalgic?”Luís sank onto the couch with a mysterious smile. “Did you guys change the decor again?”Sofia nodded. “I had some input this time.”“I see. Aunt Olivia does have extravagant tastes, doesn’t she?” he teased.Sofia flushed slightly, a bit uncomfortable. “You have no idea how happy I am to have you back, cousin.”“I doubt everyone is as thrilled. I can think of at least two people who aren’t.” His tone was light, but the implication was clear.Alan and Sofia exchanged uneasy glances. “M
Chapter 3158 Don’t Be Too Obvious
At Café Montanha that afternoon, the atmosphere grew tense as Neilton, Rodrigo, and Nadia found themselves momentarily flustered by Brendon’s introduction. Brendon, however, remained standing with his hand extended, his expression puzzled.“Uh... did I say something wrong?” he asked.Neilton hesitated before replying. “Uh, sorry, Mr. Souza. But your cousin just left here making a huge scene.”Out of politeness, he finally shook Brendon’s hand.“Typical of him, right?” Brendon said with a yellow smile. “I hope to be a contrast to that.”Rodrigo, ever the curious host, inquired, “Are you new in town? Where are you from?”“Rio de Janeiro,” Brendon replied. “I’ll be representing my aunt at Angel Stores.”Nadia narrowed her eyes slightly, studying him. He didn’t seem to share David’s unpleasant nature.“Is your father Angela’s brother?” she asked.“No,” Brendon said, shaking his head. “My father passed away. In business, I use my mother’s surname. But of course, when I get married, I’ll us
Chapter 3157 New Kid in Town
Erasmo, Olivia, and Sofia stood anxiously in Erasmo’s office at Vaztrans, their anticipation filling the room. Olivia clutched a coffee cup — certainly not her first of the day. Sofia eyed her mother with concern, her brows furrowed.“Mom, do you want to have another nervous breakdown?” she asked with worry.Olivia exhaled sharply. “I’m just trying to calm down, sweetheart.”Erasmo chuckled. “No, woman. Coffee will just make you more jittery than you already are.”Olivia suddenly froze, staring at the cup in her hands as if seeing it for the first time. “No! I thought I was drinking chamomile tea!”Erasmo burst into laughter as Olivia rushed to pour herself a cup of actual chamomile tea.Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed down the hall. Sofia perked up, instantly recognizing her husband’s steady, confident stride.The office door swung open, and Alan entered with a triumphant smile.“Son-in-law! What great news do you have for us?” Erasmo asked eagerly.Alan’s grin widened. “THI

Melissa and Brigitte sat in the office at Damascene Lawyers, but this wasn’t a friendly chat. Tension filled the air as Melissa got straight to the point.“Melissa, what are you saying?” Brigitte asked, already wary.“I’m saying you need to help me with this delicate matter,” Melissa replied firmly.Brigitte looked shocked. “Why?”“Because I don’t like scheming against family members,” Melissa said, crossing her arms. “And you are part of the family. You know Leo Borges well, right?”Brigitte shifted uncomfortably in her chair. “Yes, I know Attorney Borges.”Melissa smirked, catching the deliberate formality in Brigitte’s words. “Well, since he’s not available, could you please ask him to let J.J. work peacefully at Vasconcelos Fabrics?”Brigitte hesitated. “But that’s his brother’s business!”“I’m sure you can help us,” Melissa insisted, her gaze unwavering.Brigitte sighed. “Melissa, you’re putting me in a tight spot!”Melissa leaned in slightly. “Do you know why Josias bought share

At Rocha Constructions, in Alan’s office, Luís listened attentively as Alan recounted the latest gossip.“You should have seen it!” Alan exclaimed, leaning forward with excitement. “Well, I didn’t see it myself, but Eugenio described it in such vivid detail that it felt like we were there, enjoying my dad giving some well-deserved slaps to that despot.”Luís raised an eyebrow. “He still hasn’t shown up at the hotel?”“Not at all,” Alan confirmed. “But because of that, Chef Teixeira and his girlfriend moved to the Victoria Hotel. And David fired Suzy. She’s working at Crystal Blue now.”“As a waitress?”Alan’s face lit up with pride. “As Felipe Mountain’s accounting assistant.”Luís smiled, genuinely pleased with the news. There was no jealousy, just relief. “Good thing I wasn’t here when that happened. I might have thrown your brother off the hotel myself.”Alan scoffed. “I don’t even consider that guy my ‘half-brother’! I think now my dad will stop demanding—”Before he could finish,
Chapter 3154 The Job Is Yours
Brigitte was horrified by Caio’s rude question and instinctively threatened to get up.“Sit down, woman!” Caio commanded, still serious.Brigitte froze in place, caught between sitting and standing, uncertain of what to do.Seeing her hesitation, Caio softened. “I take back what I said.”That was all Brigitte needed to hear before settling back down in her chair.“I have to admit,” Caio continued, “the guy came here early in the day, and I got suspicious.”Brigitte arched an eyebrow. “Did you think he wanted to catch me in a sexy nightgown?”“Yes. I need to protect what’s mine.”Brigitte sighed, exasperated. “Caio, why do you feel that way? Leo Borges has never given you any reason to believe he would be interested in me. You can even ask Little Theo — who can no longer be called ‘little.’”Caio relaxed and smiled, thinking of his half-brother. “You mention my brother, and I remember what unites us — my mother.”Brigitte made a face. “Urgh, don’t mention my mother-in-law. I don’t want
