Building My Life Chapter 1967 I'll Resolve
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

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
Building My Life Chapter 1973 Come to My Mansion
In the next issue of Maggiezine, Gabriela Alves's retraction was finally published concerning the article she wrote speculating on a forbidden romance between Katherine and Cláudio.Many readers were disappointed, as they really wanted the thing to be outrageous and juicy. But...Pages later, another writer published another bombshell article about Kate, with a picture of her being slapped by Melissa!“The former and current Mrs. Rocha fight in the middle of the street! Who will win this contest?”At Rocha Mansion, Josias was smiling after reading the retraction. He even considered insisting on giving Gabriela financial compensation. Poor girl, she deserves it.But when he turned to other pages and saw the article, the smile disappeared like thin air and clouds gathered in his head.Unsatisfied, he took the cell phone that was on the table next to the armchair and dialed a number.In the master suite at the Mountain Penthouse, Melissa and Kelvin were still waking up after a perfect ni
Building My Life Chapter 1974 What time does the soap opera premiere?
At Marçal Publishing, Bernardo, Maggie, and Gabriela content the final result of the latest issue of Maggiezine.Gabriela retorts ironically, “Well, now Josias Rocha can't accuse me of wanting to offend his wife again! I didn’t write the article!”Maggie and Bernardo burst out laughing.Bernardo's secretary appears, “Sir, a young man named Cláudio Guzman wants to speak with you.”The laughter ceases.“Tell him to come in.” Bernardo gestures aristocratically.Cláudio enters and faces Gabriela, “Hey, you were the one who almost died, right? Are you already healed?”“Nice to meet you, Mr. Guzman.” Gabriela greets him, “It seems that we already know each other, but that's because we became famous.”Bernardo takes the floor, “Mr. Guzman, how can we help you?”Claudio is straight to the point, “Mr. Marçal, do you intend to publish what I said to Vernon Queiroz?”Maggie, Bernardo, and Gabriela are embarrassed.******Melissa shows up at Rocha Mansion without really understanding what Josias

Chapter 3170 A Spanish Bull
Bernardo approaches Erasmo and leads him to the nearest chair. Maggie served him a glass of cold water. She said, “Calm down, Mr. Vasquez. You’re hyperventilating.” Erasmo grabs the glass of water and drinks it eagerly. “Ah, thank you... phew, I really needed this miraculous glass of water. Where were we?” Bernardo scratches the back of his neck. “You called me ‘Bernie’ and asked for a cover story...” “Ah, yes, about Suzy being my business partner.” Erasmo smiled mischievously. “Did Suzy agree to such a story, Mr. Vasquez?” Maggie asked cautiously. “No, but that’s what the surprise is for, right?” Erasmo winked. “I want to surprise this bunch of fools who’s been whispering nasty things about the poor girl and the real reason she had lunch with Luis.” Bernardo and Maggie exchange awkward glances. Bernardo opined, “Aren’t they in a relationship?” “No, Suzy wants to date Felipe Mountain. Well, they could have been dating if it weren’t for João Paulo Queiroz’s disgusting articles
Chapter 3169 He’s Back
On the cover of the LCN newspaper, the headline blared in bold letters: HE’S BACK.Below it, a colorized and enlarged photo of Luís Vasquez toasting with Suzy Cogo.Jake had seen the annoying and intrusive photographer, so he left his post as maître to chase down the miscreant.But the photographer seemed to be a disciple of Batman or Peter Parker because he vanished without a trace.At the Vasquez Mansion, tensions were running high. Luís intended to take revenge against his aunt, but now, this issue had postponed the main concern.Olivia was reacting hysterically, not because of the article itself, but because it was Suzy — and not her...“This is OUTRAGEOUS!” Olivia neighed, disturbing the peace of everyone at the breakfast table.Erasmo, filled with rage, ripped the newspaper into shreds, throwing the pieces to the floor, confident that the servants would clean up the mess afterward.“We need to fight back.” Erasmo said, panting like a Spanish bull.Alan shook his head. “I can’t g
Chapter 3168 A Toast to Friendship
Neilton and Beto enter Café Montanha. Neilton’s helpers breathe a sigh of relief at the return of their supervisor. “We thought you got run over by that out-of-control truck!” “Not this time, Phil!” Neilton laughed as he went behind the counter. “I’m perfectly fine. I just picked up a lost box from my old apartment.” Beto pointed to the display case, where baked cheese and ham pastries mesmerized the customers. “But now you’re one of my happy tenants. Give me that pastry, please.” Neilton served the pastry but teased, “Does your wife know you’re eating cheese and ham?” “That stays between us.” Beto chuckled. He grabbed the pastry, but just as he was about to take the first bite... “ROBERTO REIS!” Beto nearly had a heart attack—figuratively—and looked toward the entrance. Josias approached him, in a good mood. “Does your wife know you’ve been sneaking pastries?” “Baked pastry, please. There’s not a drop of soybean oil in here.” Beto pretended to be offended. He just wanted to
Chapter 3167 Josias and David Seal the Peace
At Crystal Blue, the patrons who show up for lunch are discussing the truck accident at the Lafayette Supermarket. Suzy walks in, finding Jake at his post as maître d’.“Jake, how are the investigations into the accident going? It’s all anyone talks about on the streets.”Jake shook his head. “They say the truck driver forgot to engage the handbrake. The truck was empty when it crashed into the wall. No one died – so far.”“What a horror.” Suzy took a deep breath, focusing on why she was there. “Has Luís arrived yet?”Felipe passes by and is startled when Suzy casually asks about Luís.“Suzy, are you going to have lunch or go out with Luís Vasquez?”Suzy turned to him, smiling affectionately. “That’s right. I need to keep him informed that I plan to invest in his uncles’ company.”“Don’t you think it would be better to talk about this with Mrs. Vasquez or Sofia Rocha?” Felipe asked, trying not to sound jealous.“I don’t think they like me; I can’t imagine why.” Suzy scratched her fore
Chapter 3166 David Burned His Chances
Dylan and his men cordoned off the damaged area of the Lafayette Supermarket, ushering onlookers away before the supermarket structure harmed anyone else. The injured were transported by ambulance to General Hospital. Nadia was taken home. Thierry and Rodrigo remained nearby, answering questions.“Rod, you can go back to the cafeteria if you want,” Thierry suggested inside the management office.“I’ve been around and checked the truck. I need to give my testimony,” Rodrigo replied.Dylan entered the management office, finding the two gentlemen there.“Well, has anyone found the driver?” Dylan asked seriously.“He’s being questioned by one of your men outside,” Thierry said as he approached the blinds and pulled them back.He could see from a distance the pale and frightened truck driver, swearing his innocence while Dylan’s subordinate merely took note of what he said with an indifferent expression.Dylan broke the silence, “At most, Josias Junior will have to bear the costs.

Chapter 3165 Accident at Lafayette Supermarket
Panic and terror erupted at the Lafayette Supermarket as customers ran and screamed in desperation. Mothers carried their children, who were shrieking in fear, out of the store. The housewives who had swooned over Rodrigo were now calling their husbands, horrified, thinking it was a terrorist attack. Some people lay unconscious on the floor, blood pooling beneath them. Outside, warehouse workers were running in such frenzy. One of the trucks from Fazenda Bezerra had lost control and crashed through one of the supermarket walls. The impact was so powerful that the truck BURST through the wall, creating a deafening noise and toppling shelves filled with drinks. Customers near those shelves were knocked to the ground, with bottles of brandy, wine, and cases of beer falling on top of them. “Oh no, how HORRIBLE!” Nadia exclaimed, equally horrified. Unable to bear the tension any longer, she fainted, just as Thierry caught her in time. “I’ll check it out!” Rodrigo offered, moving clos
Chapter 3164 An Exciting Scoop
Josias sat comfortably in his executive chair, reviewing printed spreadsheets when a hesitant knock interrupted his focus. The door creaked open slowly, and Tony cautiously peeked in.“Mr. Rocha?” he asked, his voice uncertain.Josias barely looked up. “Speak, Tony.”“Do I still have my job?”That made Josias pause, lifting his eyes in surprise. “And why would I fire you?”Tony hesitated. “I don’t know... talking about your son seems to make you nervous.”Josias let out a reassuring smile to ease the secretary’s nerves. “You won’t be punished for that. Now, tell me.”“He’s at the reception, causing quite a commotion.”Josias kept his smile, but inside, he had the sudden urge to throw something out the office window. “Send him in.”Tony nodded and quickly left. Only then did Josias’ expression darken.The adjacent door swung open, and Alan appeared. “Dad, I—”“Oh no, son! David is on his way up.”Alan’s expression turned incredulous. “Why the hell did you let that happen?!”“He’s proba
Chapter 3163 The Difference Between Good and Evil
The morning at Lafayette Supermarket was calmier as the crew wrapped up the filming of a commercial. Rodrigo, ever the charismatic host, beamed at the camera with his signature charm.“And don’t forget,” he said enthusiastically, “the best prices can only be found here at Lafayette Supermarket!”“Cut!” the director called out.Contrary to what some might expect, Rodrigo’s radiant smile didn’t fade as soon as the cameras stopped rolling. He maintained his warm demeanor as he approached Nadia.“Sweetheart, what was that outburst with our customers?” he asked with a teasing lilt.Nadia, still flustered, huffed. “The years go by, but you remain as handsome as ever. I have to protect what’s mine.”Rodrigo chuckled, his eyes twinkling. “You have nothing to worry about anymore.”Pulling her into a loving embrace, he kissed her. As they parted, Thierry approached, clapping Rodrigo on the back.“That was great, Rod! You still got it.”Rodrigo smirked. “It’s like riding a bike. But the day will
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
