Building My Life Chapter 1965 Nervous Breakdown
Josias is desperate when he hears the secretary's information, “What did you say, Pollyanna? Kate had a stroke? She's too young for that!”“I don't know, sir, I just know that she fainted just like people do when they have this health problem! She was pretty stressed and asked me for an aspirin, but when I barely came in...”“OK, I'm going to the hospital now!” Josias turns off the cell phone.Bernardo, Maggie, and Vernon are astonished to the fullest.“Son...” Vernon tries to ask, “Is it serious?”“I'll see, Dad! Pass the message on to them!” Josias rushes to the hospital.Bernardo turns to Vernon, “What did he mean?”Vernon gulps, “He asked us to hold the bomb. It looks like he wants to try one more time to resolve this mess without involving the courts.”Maggie complains, “Then he shouldn't have let his wife carry on with this nonsense and issue subpoenas. I hope she recovers and reconsiders her actions.”“I better go with him.” Vernon also dashes for the hospital.Maggie closes th

At Crystal Blue, Vernon and Bernardo talk about the unexpected turn of events. They're at the bar, and Diane is making their drinks.“I had to withhold Mr. Guzman.” Vernon explains as if he had heard William's complaint, “I couldn't just publish while my son is suffering in the hospital. I don't want to win over a tragedy.”“Here, gentlemen.” Diane hands them glasses, “That was a very noble decision, Mr. Queiroz.”Daryl approaches them, “Now let's hope Kate recovers and backs off from trying to sue everyone, right? I mean, it was because she couldn't handle the pressure that she passed out, right?”Bernardo replies solemnly, “The doctors ruled out a stroke, which is just as well.”“So let's get positive thoughts.” Daryl gestures and winks at Diane.The door opens and Claudio enters. He finds Vernon and strides over to him, “Hey, Mr. Queiroz! Weren't you going to publish my testimony about Kate Rocha today?”Bernardo does 'pff' and spits out the sip due to the scare he took.Vernon wid

At General Hospital, Vernon and Elza appear in the lounge. Tiago was already gone.“Son, you look terrible!” Elza complains, “Go home, take a shower, and rest. Your mother will stay here.”“Mom, just stay until I get some rest and come back,” Josias responds listlessly.Vernon waggles his index finger, “Come on, son! Didn't the doctors say Kate was out of danger? It's only a matter of time before she wakes up. Until then, you rest. You don't want Kate to wake up and see you all ugly and bearded, do you?”Josias doesn't want to, but he can't resist chuckling.Elza nudges her husband, “Man, no jokes in this difficult time!”“I am trying to smooth over the difficult moment.” Vernon pretends to be offended.Vernon sits down next to him, “Sonny, your father decided not to publish my interview with Cláudio Guzman. But he accosted me at Crystal Blue and demanded that I tell everyone that Kate was hot for him! The young man is full of rancor...”Josias frowns, “This is too much! I just told T
Building My Life Chapter 1968 He Cares, She Doesn't
Maggie visits Gabriela to talk about the twist their plan has taken, perhaps for their luck. The radio in her apartment was playing “S Club 7”, by the same youth group, to cheer Henrique up in the living room.Gabriela and Maggie were on the sofa, “Well, dear Gabriela. You're happy with the turn of events, right?”Gabriela cautiously responds, “In part, I am. This is an indication that my trial won’t go forward. I can bet that Josias Rocha will take advantage of his wife’s fragile health to cancel the lawsuit.”Maggie beams, “Exactly! And that's when you should seize the occasion and sue Kate Rocha! By the way, you should be doing this, not her!”Gabriela stands up with an indecisive expression on her face, “I don't know if this would be a good idea, Maggie. No more.”Maggie is taken aback by the unexpected response, “What do you mean, friend?”Gabriela turns to the hostess, “I believe that, if I want to ingratiate myself with Josias, I cannot create confusion with his wife. If Josias
Building My Life Chapter 1969 What's Your Price?
A few more days passed. Instead of controversial and sensationalist articles, the LCN newspaper and Maggiezine just announced that Kate Rocha, the lady of Lagoon City, had recovered her health and returned home to finish her rest.Servants struggled to sort letters and flower bouquets sent by fans. Cards expressing best wishes also poured in.Katherine got an inflated ego and thought about using public opinion to slaughter her enemies. But her eyes were burning from reading so many letters, without any of them advising her to sue Cláudio and Gabriela.“What the hell! No fan of mine supports me in suing those two! And Josias is speaking of...”Alone in the master suite and comfortable in her silk nightgown, Katherine takes out her cell phone and calls Figueira.On the other side, Figueira answers, terrified, “Hello, Mrs. Rocha.”“Figueira, I'm feeling better. So, how are our plans going?”Figueira stutters and sweats coldly, “Ehr... M-Mrs. Rocha, your husband called ordering me to canc
Building My Life Chapter 1970 The Compensation
Katherine violates the rest period and forces Hector to take her to the police station.The lady officer working in the front desk purses her lips, “Mrs. Rocha, haven't you done enough damage already?”“Listen here, officer, your duty is to serve society, and I am the cream of it! Call Sergeant Moraes immediately!”“That won't be necessary.” Ivan appears like magic from the corridor, “Let's talk in my office, Mrs. Rocha.”Katherine looks haughtily at the policewoman and lets herself be guided by the sergeant. When passing by Amoreira's office, she sees him avidly reading the latest issue of Maggiezine and she sneers.“Come in, Mrs. Rocha.”“Sergeant Moraes, I’ll be short and direct.” Katherine exclaims, “I want to know how the investigation is doing.”“What investigation?” Ivan sits vis-à-vis and plays dumb, “I'm not aware of another investigation.”“It’s not another, it’s THE investigation.” Katherine explains as if she were his teacher, “I want to know when Miss Alves will be behind

Katherine is walking the streets in a daze after withdrawing the complaint against Claudio without even thinking twice. Now she's at that 'Did I make a mistake?' stage.Melissa and Kelvin are hanging out together like a teenage sweethearts. But the feeling goes down the drain when they spot Katherine staggering around like she's drunk.“KATE!” Melissa exclaims, “Are you having another stroke?”“I'm too young for this.” Katherine retorts sourly, “And you mind your own business.”“Our lives were changed forever because of you.” Kelvin counters, “Why did you go and fuss with the swim instructor? He was teaching Caroline!”Katherine fumes, “And why do you care? She is not your daughter! She is MY husband's daughter.” She turns to Melissa, “MY husband, do you understand me, you bitch?”Melissa is stunned, “What is this woman talking about?”“You hired Mr. Guzman just to get MY husband's attention, I am aware of that! And when he ordered you to fire him, you refused! What were you trying to
Building My Life Chapter 1972 Trying to Deceive
Melissa and Kelvin enter the Mountain Penthouse still stunned by what happened. Dora is vacuuming the carpet in the living room. The song “(You Drive Me) Crazy”, by Britney Spears, tries to compete with the noise of the vacuum cleaner.Melissa jokes, “Mom, no one is listening to the music with that set on.”Dora turns off the vacuum and the music becomes more audible, “Someone needs to clean up the mess. Hey, you look serious, Kelvin.”Kelvin stares at the stereo, “The song seems to have been tailor-made for crazy Katherine. She is driving us crazy with her absurd outbursts.”Dora sits on the sofa, curious, “Tell me about it! What did she do? Did you find her on the street?”Melissa shakes her head in disdain and sits down next to her mother, “She should rest, right? But she was walking down the street unsteadily, looking like she was going to have a nervous breakdown again.”Kelvin scratches his chin, “Actually, honey... we were not far from the police station. Could it be that she w

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,
