Katherine is watching television in one of the living rooms at Rocha Mansion. This time she decided to rest, obeying her husband.She was watching the TCL music video “No Scrubs” when the programming was interrupted by an LCN news presenter.“We interrupt our programming for urgent news: Josias Rocha has called a press conference at the entrance of our studios for a last-minute announcement!”Katherine smiles, thinking that Josias would order all the haters to leave her alone.Josias is solemn when he appears. Several microphones from different broadcasters and radio stations were nailed to the platform to capture his magnetic voice.“Dear citizens of Espírito Santo. Here, Josias Rocha, executive director of Rocha Constructions, is speaking to you. Anyone who has known us since the 1980s knows that we always strive for excellence and professionalism for our clients. We are very grateful for the trust given and we are delighted to serve you.”One of the maids left tea and biscuits on t
Building My Life Chapter 1978 Nerve to Complain
Claudio couldn't believe that Katherine was inside the apartment demanding that they talk as if they were still companions in some adventure.“Hey, who let you in?” Claudio exclaims.“Throw me out, then!” Katherine challenges him.Cláudio, fearing being accused again, controls his instincts, “Okay, just say what you want.”“I want you to get out of town.” Katherine declares through gritted teeth, “I want everyone to forget you exist.”Cláudio smiles mockingly, “Look, your husband sent Mr. Bento to pay me whatever I wanted to let the matter drop. I joked that I wanted to receive a million reais and a ticket to Boston, but they paid me the same day!”Katherine's eyes widen, “Why would my husband be willing to spend money on someone like you?”Claudio laughs, “Wow, I used to be so sexy and desirable, now I'm just 'somebody' to you?”Katherine swallows her sexual urge, “I didn't come to talk about this—““But ‘this’ is the only thing that keeps us tied together!” Claudio blusters, “You go
Building My Life Chapter 1979 A Funeral?
Katherine could hardly believe it. Behold, she was slapped by someone who is below her husband!She gets up and massages her sore cheek, “My husband will kill you!”“I guess the opposite is happening, huh?” Daryl rubs his hand on his clothes like he's touched a garbage bag.Katherine narrows her eyes, “It seems like the whole world saw my husband's press conference.”“Kate, why do you subject yourself to these humiliations?” Daryl crosses his arms, “Why don't you act like Melissa when she was Mrs. Rocha?”Melissa's eyes catch fire, “I'm not like that bitch!”Daryl raises his hand to slap her again, but Katherine screams and recoils, trying to protect herself, “ARGH!”Daryl holds his hand in the air and looks at Katherine with as much contempt as possible, “You aren’t worthy of uttering my sister-in-law's name. How embarrassing! Josias is not done with you enough!”Katherine straightens up and smiles defiantly, “Continue to root for the ruin of my marriage! This will only make it easie
Building My Life Chapter 1980 Ticket to Boston

She must be here soon.”Josias looks at his wristwatch, “It's already night, they must no longer be playing. Pack some of my bags, Hector. I need to travel urgently.”“Immediately, sir.” Hector smiles slightly, imagining where the boss would go...Josias goes to one of the little tables, finds paper and pen left over, and writes a note in hasty handwriting.Afterward, he goes to the master suite to check what will be packed.Moments later, Katherine arrives in a white shirt and shorts, indicating that she was at the aforementioned club.

Building My Life Chapter 1981 Rio de Janeiro
At Crystal Blue, Melissa gets angry when she sees Cláudio wanting to leave town.“Cláudio, why are you running away? Didn't you see my ex-husband fire his wife live and in color on TV? She will no longer harm you.”Claudio gives a pitying chuckle, “Mrs. Mountain, you are naive. Kate Bezerra threatened me with death yesterday. Call me a coward, but I'm not going to stand by and wait for her to carry out her threat.”Kelvin asserts, “That's what the police are for.”Cláudio shakes his head, “I won't waste the plane ticket and the money that Josias Rocha gave me. Mr. Mountain here just informed me that he is in Rio seeing his other concubine. In the meantime, it's time for me to withdraw from the picture.”“But what do I tell Caroline?” Melissa insists.“Tell her she already learned to swim or hire a female swim instructor.” Claudio smiles weakly, “Unfortunately, our contract will have to end, Mrs. Mountain. It was a pleasure while it lasted.”Melissa blocks Cláudio's steps, “Don't you r
Building My Life Chapter 1982 The Former Concubine?
At Rocha Constructions, Katherine is packing her things to leave and, who knows, never come back. She looks around her office and sighs, already feeling homesick.“It was nice while it lasted. But I have a feeling I would never be welcome again after everything that's happened. And I have a feeling they're blaming me. They didn't seem sorry about my resignation.”Katherine wiggles her head and stuffs her personal belongings into a crate.Her cell phone on her desk rings and she answers it, “Hello?”On the other side, Elza is very serious, “Kate, can we talk in my office?”“Mrs. Queiroz, I'm packing my things to leave the office, since your son did me the favor of firing me on television...”Elza interrupts her, “If you allow me to explain, you’ll understand why my son had to resort to extreme measures.”Katherine smirks, “But of course, a mother will always defend her dear child! I would do the same if it were J.J.”Elza counters, “I hope J.J. doesn't marry a troublesome, awful woman

Good to see you again. Looks like we ran into a little problem.”Beto promptly asks, “What happened to my daughter?”Rosemary vents, “They asked me if I was pregnant and I kicked the shit out of them!”Teresa stifles a laugh.Fernandez scratches his bald head, “And that's not all, gentlemen. One of the girls was with her boyfriend and her half-brother, Caio Campos... he sent the young man to General Hospital.”Beto smirks at Caio’s boldness, “That's it? No big deal then. Headmaster, I didn't raise my daughter to be a fighter, but Caio couldn't beat them.”Teresa tries to soften her husband's attitude, “Actually, Principal Fernandez, my stepdaughter has been suffering humiliation from her classmates
Building My Life Chapter 1984 We Only Have Ourselves
At Marçal Publishing, Bernardo and Maggie receive the requested visit from Vernon. He is smiling.“Well, I see that the doting father is aware of what happened,” Bernardo says.“My pup sent his resume? Good! Now it's time for you to accept it, correct?”Bernardo maintains an indifferent posture, “Vernon, we're friends now, but I still haven't forgotten the headache you caused me when you worked here. My company almost went bankrupt because you were provoking and persecuting your enemies using Marçal Publishing as a weapon of war.”Vernon lowered his smile, “But that doesn't mean my son will do the same thing. On the contrary, he strongly disapproved of my attitude years ago.”Maggie reminds him, “That's because he was young and innocent. Now he'll be part of the same jungle as you are. I hope the power and feeling of being the first to break news don't rub off on him.”Vernon shakes his head, “No, I can assure you that my boy will be an example of professionalism and competence.

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

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
