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
Building My Life Chapter 1898 He Can Come Back Already
Without realizing it, Cláudio is spreading his problems to everyone involved with Josias and Katherine. Diane is at her apartment talking about this with Daryl while serving breakfast.“Yesterday some poor fellow came in claiming to have been fired from a family of snobs in Sunset Village. He downed eight shots of Negroni and staggered out of the Crystal Blue.”Daryl shakes his head dismissively, “Instead of the guy looking for another job, he wastes time getting drunk. That's why he can't get a job! But it’s always the boss’s fault.”Diane pushes the plate of toast towards him, “Eat well, my love. I have noticed that you’re not eating right. The frantic activity of the restaurant shouldn’t distract you from your health.”“It's not Crystal Blue's frenzied activity that has taken away my appetite, dear.” Daryl takes a deep breath to admit, “It's that subject that's still eating away at me. At that point, Octavio Motta told everyone at Rocha Constructions that I was a soap opera villain
Building My Life Chapter 1899 A Recomendation from Rodrigo
Diane visits Marçal Publishing to have a conversation with her sister-in-law Maggie.The two enter the office of the editor-in-chief of Maggiezine, “Diane, I can see you down. Is Daryl giving you a hard time?”Diane sighs, “Oh, oh... we have tough ones, but they aren't caused by your brother.”“Sit down. In this busy life of ours, we haven't had time to sit back, relax and talk.” Maggie does the same.Diane sits down and starts venting, “Daryl still hasn't forgotten what happened before Veronica's wedding.”Maggie reacts by having a mental snap, “Hmm... I wanted to know that too. Is it true that I was almost barred from the wedding without knowing it? Even though I was a prearranged bridesmaid?”Diane gestures, “You weren't technically barred. It was Mr. Motta who decided to disinvite Daryl because he appeared at Rocha Constructions to talk about Josias's son. The rumor that turned out to be false.”“Fortunately. Alan Campos Rocha is the most prepared son to take over the company when
Building My Life Chapter 1900 What Else Is Left For Josias To Achieve?
Josias and Katherine talk in her office. Katherine is tense, thinking she will be unmasked.But Josias reassures her, “Kate, I told Alfred I would never blame you if you were the victim of sexual harassment. By the way, that's why you fired Cláudio Guzman, right?”Katherine's eyes widen, lost in thought, “Darling... Do you know that I fired Claudio?”Josias's eyes widen, “You don't need to pronounce the scoundrel's first name, dear. It sounds like you're defending him. Shouldn't we take the opportunity to call the police?”“NO!” Katherine steps forward and places both hands on the phone to prevent Josias from touching the device, “No need, dear. I... I don't want—”“You don't want a harasser to pay for what he did?” Josias angrily asks, “Remember that the same instructor was misguiding young girls on the beach at Sunset Village, taking them to secluded corners to pervert them. Can you imagine them screaming and crying as he banged them mercilessly?”Katherine imagined HERSELF under Cl
Building My Life Chapter 1901 Carlos Campos Highway
1999Citizens of Lagoon City were clustered along the highway that connects Sunset Village to the rest of the city. Mayor Tobias had a microphone speaking to the listeners.“Therefore, dear citizens, it is with great pride that I present to you our highway renamed Carlos Campos Highway!”Everyone applauds effusively. Fireworks are set off to increase the joy and scare children and animals.Amid the euphoric crowd, the Campos family is grateful for the tribute.Tobias decided to do this favor to his friend Josias, “What's up, buddy?”“Thank you very much, Tobias. And I believe the Campos family members are equally grateful.”Melissa approaches them with tears in her eyes, “Mayor Tobias, thank you for honoring my grandfather.”“You're welcome, Mrs. Mountain. You deserve to be recorded in Lagoon City history.”Simeon steps forward, “Does that mean when it's my turn, I get my name on one of the streets in Sunset Village?”Melissa pats her father's arm, “Don't play with something like that
Building My Life Chapter 1902 Josias Wants To Protect
In the Mountain Penthouse, the family was having fun in the outdoor area on the second floor. Caroline is showing everyone how her swimming skill has improved thanks to the instructor. A portable radio is playing “Every Morning” by Sugar Ray.Kelvin appears shirtless and in swimming trunks, a platter of grilled meats in hand, “The food is here, everyone!”Maggie stands up, “Hmm... I'm hungry and that sausage looks appetizing.”“Careful, little sis, don’t ruin your Miss body.” Kelvin jokes.“Oh, I’m thirty and I’m already a mother.” Maggie giggles as she chooses what to eat with a small plastic plate, “I can eat more than just lettuce.”Bernardo nods while lying on a deckchair, “Supported, darling!”Daryl, wearing sunglasses, keeps looking up the stairs, “What happened to Melissa?”“She said she got a call from Josias and is talking in the office,” Kelvin responds calmly, placing the platter on a white table.Daryl walks over to help himself, “Little brother, that picture taken by Vern
Building My Life Chapter 1903 It’s Necessary to Fire Him
Francisco has finished swimming and has now brought Isabel a small plastic plate of food.“Thank you, my darling. Want to eat some? After all, you must have expended a lot of energy on that swim.” Isabel comments casually, or not.Francisco takes a deep breath, “If I'm still in one piece, it's because of this. We should take advantage of that we still have some vigor left before things like arthritis finish us off.”Isabel nods, “Absolutely. I, as a writer, must guard against RSI.” She gently waves one hand before stabbing her fork into the piece of chicken.When chewing the piece, she chooses another and points to Francisco. Francisco smiles when he gets the piece in his mouth and eats it, smiling affectionately at his girlfriend.Caroline is happy for the couple and whispers to Reuben, “I hope we'll be like this when we're old. Nothing and no one will separate us.”“For sure.” Reuben blinks.Melissa goes up to the outside area with a broken face. She is even more distressed when she
Building My Life Chapter 1904 Melissa Doesn't Falter
Hours passed, and Daryl took matters into his own hands as the patriarch of the Mountain family.The adults are gathered in Melissa's office. Daryl wore a T-shirt, and the women wore Bermuda shorts over their bikinis, but Kelvin is still shirtless in his trunks.Daryl determines, “After all the information Josias has given Melissa, we need to look for another swim instructor. Caroline has been voted 'the Princess of Lagoon City' by our fans, and if anything happens to her, the public will blame US instead of the rapist.”“How is that possible, dear?” Diane asks wide-eyed.“People will ask why we didn't realize this sooner.” Daryl responds in a serious tone, “They expect us to protect the kids from everything.”Melissa keeps pensive, without giving an opinion.Diane adds, “Maybe that's why he didn't want to name names when he met me.”Someone knocks on the door. Francisco sees who it is, it's Rodrigo.“Father, I’m here. What happened?” Rodrigo is amazed to see the family together.“Com

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
