Building My Life Chapter 1890 Let's Go To the Beach
Daryl notices how stunned Kelvin is by his question and takes offense, “Hey, I didn't ask such a stupid question.”“Actually, you asked.” Kelvin shakes his head, “You still don't get it? Octavio thought, as did Diane, that you just showed up that day to gossip against Alan!”Daryl finally understands. But something Kelvin said caught his attention, “Did you say... as did Diane'?”Kelvin smiles wryly, “And you know what? For a moment I thought about it too. Daryl, you've been such a nuisance with this talk that Melissa and I should focus on the twins and discard Alan and Caroline for being Josias's children. Afterward, Katherine appeared in the penthouse implying that Josias wasn’t going to pass the throne to Alan. Looks like you were the one who started the rumor!”“It wasn't me, it was that Katherine!” Daryl rages, “I won't take the blame for something like this, little bro. OK, now that I understand what happened, I need to meet with Octavio Motta—”But Kelvin frantically shakes his
Building My Life Chapter 1891 A Gift for Kate
Alan was delighted to see Cláudio Guzman interacting romantically with another woman. He was already thinking that...Simeon, however, was not very pleased, “Children, don't peek at these things!”Caroline covers her eyes like every decent little girl. J.J. shrugs, as he is not yet mentally old enough to understand these things. Only Alan has to struggle to get back to his grandfather.“Will I get a chick like that when I get old, Grandpa?”Simeon smiles at his eldest grandson, “Certainly, Alan. But remember, be like your father. None of that indecency among people. Your father always treated your mother like a lady. Have you ever had that conversation about... 'that'?”Simeon couldn't say the word 'sex' in front of the other grandchildren.Alan smiles and nods, “Kelvin filled me in.”Simeon got a little embarrassed. Kelvin?Meanwhile, Cláudio took the exuberant girl who was with him to a secluded corner of the beach. Simeon shook his head in disapproval, knowing full well what would
Building My Life Chapter 1892 Indecency on the Beach
Later, Josias and Katherine return to the mansion. They find Simeon with his grandchildren in one of the living rooms. They had changed clothes and had a light tan.“J.J.!” Katherine exclaims, “My son, you are fine.”“Is that a question?” Simeon is confused.“No, Mr. Campos.” Katherine giggles, “I feared for my son's safety.”Alan says as if Katherine were insane, “Did you really think we were going to go to the beach alone? As soon as you left, I called Grandpa Simeon.”“And you acted very well, Alan.” Simeon pats his grandson on the head.Josias is happier to see Alan acting wisely. Katherine, however, continues to watch Alan as if she senses something... dangerous.“Daddy, I got a tan!” Caroline runs into her father's arms.“I see, little princess!” Even though she is nine years old, Josias continues to hold Caroline in his arms and kiss her on the cheek.Simeon gets up from the sofa, “Guys, I need to share something with you.”Alan smirks, already aware of what his grandfather is
Building My Life Chapter 1893 The Swimming Instructor Has To Be a Eunuch
The next day, Katherine is still arguing with Josias about Claudio's probable dismissal, something she never wants.Josias doesn't even have peace while taking a shower. The reckless wife opens the glass shower door with a bang, scaring her husband.“You're not going to fire Claudio, are you?”“KATE!” Josias instinctively covered himself with his hands as if they were both still single, “Get out, I'm bathing!”Katherine bites her bottom lip in lust, “There's nothing in there that I haven't seen. By the way, I saw it last night...”Josias scowls and closes the stall again, nearly breaking the door. Katherine takes a deep breath and counts to five.“You still haven't answered my question.”“What is there to answer?” Josias asks as he rinses the soap off his body.“Will Cláudio Guzman be fired because of what he does in his private life?” Katherine insists, “Honey, who are we to intrude on his privacy? He does what he wants when he's not teaching our son. It's not like he's doing drugs o
Building My Life Chapter 1894 Let's Not Meddle
In the Mountain Penthouse, Melissa is still waiting for them to respond about Katherine apparently getting hot for the swim instructor.Simeon gestures to the kitchen, “Let's see how breakfast is. The twins are still sleeping.”The three family members enter the kitchen. The coffee maker has finished making coffee and the bread smells in the oven.As Melissa is putting the options on the table, she asks again, “Can someone tell me what's going on here?”Simeon clears his throat, “It was just a feeling I had, Melissa. The swimming instructor Josias hired for J.J. doesn't have a decent personal life. Josias was displeased and wanted to fire him, but Kate was opposed tooth and nail.”Melissa smiles calmly, “Guys, let's not think naughty. Clearly, Kate is like this because she wants her son to have the best education possible. I think I should do the same with Caroline. Maybe I should hire someone to teach her how to play the piano?”“She wants to be a journalist at Maggiezine.” Dora remi
Building My Life Chapter 1895 Not Knowing What to Do
Simeon visits the pizzeria and finds Caio throwing away a copy of Maggiezine.“Hello, Caio. Have you... read this week’s issue?”“Grandpa Simeon, don’t beat around the bush.” Caio sighs, “My mother is the most promiscuous and depraved woman this world has ever conceived. I don't know how Seu Ray and Dª Cristina endure this humiliation.”“Maybe you should join the club.” Simeon tries to joke.“I don't even know what his name is.” Caio pulls up a chair and sits down, “I mean... I have another brother. Or 'half-brother'. Lately, I've only been using that term to refer to everyone, while everyone else just uses the word 'brother'.”“My grandson, you aren’t the only person in the world to have half-siblings.”“But it seems I'm the only one in our circle. My dad has Aunt Melissa. The Mountain family has three legitimate brothers on Daryl's side and two more on Rodrigo's side. Jack and Octavio Motta are also blood brothers.”Simeon smiles pityingly, “You are forgetting the main example.”“Wh
Building My Life Chapter 1896 A favor for Mrs. Bento
Maggie has an afternoon snack at Café Montanha, satisfied with the recent publication of her magazine. Carmen approaches her, still walking through the city.“Mrs. Bento, what a pleasure to meet you. How is James?”Carmen smiles, pulls up a chair, and sits down vis-a-vis her, “He just grows. Years later, I will be attending his wedding.”“How quickly time passes. My Henrique is becoming a horse. Let people not think that Bernie is his grandson.” Maggie sips her coffee with cream and mint, “So, have you read my latest issue?”Carmen tries to hide her displeasure, “Ehr... Dear Maggie, I want to ask you a favor.”“Which?” For Maggie, any 'favor' coming from someone in the Bento family is an express command.“No more talking about my promiscuous sister in your magazine,” Carmen asks simply.Maggie realizes she's stepped on a minefield, “Oh shit, did I miss something?”Carmen tries to smooth things over, “Not exactly, there's nothing horrendous going on. I just hope the news doesn't reach
Building My Life Chapter 1897 Claudio Is Spreading His Problems
The next day, Maggie is wrapping up a meeting with her most prized editors in the conference room.“Therefore, friends, we’ll no longer talk about Pamela Chaves in our magazine. Let's make up some excuse so she doesn't sue us and use that as an excuse to go back to town. I already felt guilty about Uélton's death. If Wallace's marriage failed, I would never lift my head again.”“I don't think the Freire family would blame you for this, but we understand.” One of the editors said with an encouraging smile.“OK, we're dismissed. Meeting adjourned.” Maggie gets up.The other editors get up and say goodbye to her. Upon opening the door, Maggie is faced with her niece.“Carol, what are you doing here alone?”“Mom said to wait for you here, you were busy,” Caroline responds dutifully.“Yes, but it's over now. Let's walk around the Publishing house with Auntie.” Maggie takes Caroline's hand and leads her through the premises.Meanwhile, Melissa talks to Bernardo in his office.Bernardo is ha

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
Chapter 3155 Melissa Slays at Damascene Lawyers
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
