Building My Life Chapter 1911 Was There Abuse?
After long minutes of crying, Vera decided to pull herself together and lift her head, “Why am I so desperate? I'm sure Wally will never pay attention to the whore who got pregnant again.”Carmen smiles reassuringly, “That's right, my friend, let's think positively. Hey, is the radio off?”“Ih!” Vera runs to follow the tradition. Otherwise, Teodoro's ghost would haunt the building, so they believe. Jennifer Lopez's song “If You Had My Love” filled the room.“New singer?” Carmen scratches the back of her head.“I don’t know her.” Vera answers with a shrug, “1999 has been the year of debutant pop female singers.”Carmen jokes, “If I take singing lessons, maybe Tiago will be interested in introducing me.”Wallace appears and sees Vera wiping away her tears, “Vera, was the joke so funny you're crying?”“No, honey, I was crying because Pamela called again.” Vera replies, snuggling into his chest, “I think we better report her to the police.”“Moral harassment,” Wallace responds with a frow
Building My Life Chapter 1912 Your silence benefits him!
In the Mountain Penthouse, Simeon and William visited Dora to talk about the news. William found Josias's distress amusing.“You’ll see.” He remarks between chuckles, “Everything will work itself out, and Josias will have to apologize on his knees to the instructor. This will teach him to be humble and stop accusing others of the worst things.”Simeon raises an eyebrow, “Do you include yourself in this, son?”“Clear!” William brags, “Haven't I been behaving myself?”Dora serves them coffee and bread in the kitchen, “You still haven't rebuilt Uélton's house as Josias ordered. So it's all the same.”William points to the crutches, “I think I've had enough punishment. Anyway, my sister will sort it all out.”The bell rings. Dora withdraws to answer it.William eats voraciously and Simeon notices him, “Son, be careful not to get too fat. This makes it harder to get around.”William chews and swallows, “Thanks for your concern, Dad, but the cornbread here is perfect and delicious!”Dora re
Building My Life Chapter 1913 Non-existent Complaint
The next day, it was Josias's turn to go down to the dining room and not find Katherine having breakfast with the children.“Good morning boys. J.J., where is your mother?”“Mom went to the police station,” J.J. replies, about to chew the cornbread.“OK. Eat breakfast. We have a parent-teacher meeting today, huh?” Josias widens his smile, “Have you been behaving well?”Alan and J.J. look like 'little angels' and Josias suspects that they are the biggest troublemakers in the entire school.******Katherine is wearing sunglasses and casual clothes at the police station, fearing recognition. She leans into the front desk and a female officer answers her.“Good morning, how can I help you?”“I need to talk to Sergeant Moraes. It's about a crime that Mr. Josias Rocha denounced and he needs my testimony.”“And you are...?”“Please keep a low profile.” Katherine hands over an identification document.Instead of yelling and asking for an autograph, the officer just smiles and nods silently. S
Building My Life Chapter 1914 Buying time
Josias and Melissa are face to face, surprised by each other's visit.“Josias...” Melissa starts to speak, “You didn't need to come. You sure have a lot of appointments.”“One of my commitments today is to come here.” Josias assures with a gentle smile, “And J.J. is not your son.”“Oh, J.J. started studying here?” Melissa's eyes widen, “Is he already seven years old? How time passes...”“Yes, time flies. Even my hair flew.” Director Fernandez jokes while smoothing his bald head.Everyone laughs. Other parents start to show up.“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Please, the teachers are waiting for you here.”William appears and smiles wryly upon seeing Josias, “Ah, the hysterical of the year has arrived!”Melissa turns to her younger brother and frowns, “Will, you're not even going to forgive the parent-teacher conference?”“Sister, never miss an opportunity to humiliate someone. Isn't that your ex-husband's motto?”“What are you talking about, Will?” Josias asks sharply, “Is not yo
Building My Life Chapter 1915 A Pointless Question
Octavio is taken aback by this unusual and unexpected question. He closes the door, fearing that Daryl has heard this nonsense, “Girl! Do you want to lose the grace of being Mrs. Rocha again? Remember you are enjoying a second chance because Angela faltered!”“I know!” Katherine stands up, “But this is a feeling I can't shake! Why is it that since I married Josias, Melissa lives glued to him? Any and every occasion is an excuse for her to be around him!”Octavio shakes his head in disbelief, “Is this serious, Kate? Alan and Caroline are the children of Josias and Melissa. You’ll have to get over it.”Katherine smiles wryly, “OK, but does MELISSA get over the fact that Josias and I have a beautiful son?”“Yes, I'm sure.” Octavio lowers his voice, “Careful, Kate, don't tell the Mountain family these things. They are a bunch of gossipers who aren’t content to lead a peaceful life.”“If you're talking about Daryl Mountain, I completely agree.” Katherine rolls her eyes, “The asshole is imi
Building My Life Chapter 1916 Potiphar's Wife
Josias's limousine stops at the police station and he opens the door to step out, “Melissa, can you wait here?”“Yes, Josias, thanks for the ride.” She smiles gently.“I need to see if Kate obeyed me.” Josias smiles slightly and leaves, closing the door.The driver looks at Melissa in the rearview mirror and decides to turn on the car radio. Westlife's song “Swear it Again” made Melissa more comfortable with the wait.“So he forced his wife to give a statement...” Melissa says to herself, “Kate is having the reaction of someone who has suffered major sexual trauma, but why do I feel, over and over, that such trauma doesn't exist?”Meanwhile, Josias enters Lagoon City P.D. The same policewoman who attended to Katherine earlier widened her eyes when she now saw her husband.“Mr. Rocha... what a pleasure to serve you. What can the police station help you with?”“Miss Officer, did my wife Katherine come here to give the statement? Is Sergeant Moraes there?”The policewoman nods vigorously

At Marçal Publishing, Maggie is checking the photos that have been taken by her respected photographers. Along with them was a draft of a likely article by the writers tied for the editor-in-chief to decide whether it could or couldn’t be worth publishing such an article.She narrows her eyes when a draft by the writer Gabriela is attached to a photograph of Katherine sternly arguing with a strange gentleman. Staring fixedly, it gave the impression that it was he who reprimanded Mrs. Rocha...In the draft, “Handsome gentleman accuses Mrs. Rocha of giving false testimony on the harassment charge. He called her 'Potiphar's wife'!”Maggie takes the phone from her desk and dials Gabriela's extension.At Gabriela's desk, the writer responds effusively, “Marçal Publishing House, Gabriela?”“Gaby, it's me. Come to my office.” Maggie orders in her editor-in-chief tone.Just as she's considering what to do, Diane bursts into the office, “Maggie, I know you're busy, but I need some advice!”Mag
Building My Life Chapter 1918 Understanding the Campos Family
Maggie sees the distress on Diane's face and gestures, “Come in, my dear! How can I help you?”“I know you are the little sister.” Diane sits down, “But sometimes it's women who talk sense into men's heads.”Maggie smirks, “Is there a problem with my brother?”“It's that subject of the rumor involving Alan Rocha that is still yielding.” Diane scratches her head, “I told Daryl to clean it up, but it looks like we just added more yeast to double the mess!”“What happened?”“Mrs. Queiroz and Mrs. Motta came to the restaurant bar to question me, as if I was guilty of something!” Diane exclaims, “And I just blurted out that it was Katherine who started the rumor.”Maggie narrows her eyes, “They didn't know about that?”“From the faces they made, no. Mrs. Queiroz even drank the cognac in one go.” Diane smirks as she recalls the scene. Elza looked like a lady drunkard from a low-grade tavern.Maggie smirks, “Hmm... Looks like Kate was looking forward to having J.J. as the successor and tried

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
Chapter 3153 Not Trusting the Borges Brothers
The master suite of the Rocha Mansion was a scene of quiet preparation. Josias sat on the edge of the bed, slipping on his shoes, while Melissa fastened a pair of earrings in front of the mirror. His voice carried a sharp edge as he spoke.“Do you understand the situation, my dear?”Melissa shook her head, still processing the news. “It’s shocking. The brother of one of the most famous lawyers around here is plotting to remove J.J. from Vasconcelos.”Josias scoffed. “Who do they think they are? I better keep an eye on this. I asked Alan and Caio to do the same, since J.J. is the youngest.”Melissa smirked mischievously, standing up and adjusting her posture as she looked at herself in the mirror. “Didn’t you ask David for help?”Josias finished with his shoes and stood. “David isn’t talking to me.”At that moment, the sharp ring of Josias’s phone cut through the air. He glanced at the screen, his expression shifting to one of surprise.“Looks like we’re playing games now,” he muttered
Chapter 3152 Luís Is Coming Back
The management door of the Rocha Hotel swung open. Suzy appeared, approaching a startled Eugenio, pale and stammering. “Uncle, what happened?” Eugenio covered the phone receiver and stared at his niece. “It s-seems t-that... I’m hearing the voice of Luís Vasquez!” Suzy snatched the receiver and immediately spoke, “LUÍS! Is that you, my friend?” On the other end, Luís smiled while in Daryl's office. “Yes, Suzy, I’m back in Brazil!” “Oh, Felipe answered my call! Did he send the ‘guys’ from the Bento family to look for you?” Suzy asked excitedly. Luís didn’t know about that but decided to confirm it to make Suzy happy. “That’s right, my dear. It seems my return to Brazil was necessary.” “Necessary and urgent! Everything is falling apart without you around!” Suzy exclaimed vehemently, “You need to get back to your supervisor position before David—” “Wait, I’ve already been informed about that file.” Luís took a deep breath. “I want to check with your uncle to see if I still have
Chapter 3151 Josias Discovers the Hidden Plan
In the Mountain Penthouse, Luís learns everything that Daryl and William uncovered about his family, being shocked by the amount of corruption that existed years before he moved into the Vasquez Mansion. Daryl came from the kitchen with a platter of jawbreaker pie for everyone, but Luís hesitated in choosing a piece, dumbfounded. “This can’t be possible... how could my uncles have been capable of...?” “Do you understand now, Luís, why we want to expose them?” Daryl asks excitedly. “The blog that Will is maintaining doesn’t aspire to be a major media outlet: it’s just a way to get back at them.” “And my aunt continues to party at the club with younger guys without my uncle knowing?” Luís furrows his brow. Olivia always coveted him, but he wasn’t exclusive... “That’s right. Maybe he’ll find out...” William smiles diabolically, considering the possibility. “He should at least know about Aunt Olivia sleeping with Dr. Hogan. Maybe he encouraged her without knowing that Aunt already
