Building My Life Chapter 1994 A Better Future
William tries to dodge the obligation imposed on Josias as much as possible.“Josias, once again you're asking me to pay for something that has nothing to do with me!”Josias is indignant, “What do you mean? Caio is your son, it's your responsibility!”“I don't need to be reminded of this.” William retorts.Beto chimes in, “Will, I had to take Caio back to my apartment because you weren't answering your phone. He had his uniform shirt ripped and bloody. What's going on?”William swallows hard and replies, “I unplug the phone cord so I can sleep soundly. The pizzeria's activity has doubled and I'm not keeping up with so much work!”Josias kind of accepts the explanation, “OK, that means you're not short of cash, correct? The Pizzeria is making a profit, and you have a reserve in the bank, right?”William grits his teeth, “That reserve wasn't to spend on medical expenses for people I don't know!”“Unfortunately, Will, that money will have to be used,” Josias determines as if he owned th

At Rocha Mansion, Katherine walks in with David after enrolling him in Sunset Village Elementary School. The employees have already started with the Christmas decorations.“Phew, David! You're gonna go to a rich school!”“But aren't we rich?” David asks mockingly.Katherine clears her throat, “Ehr... I mean, you really go to a school where our social class belongs. I don't know why J.J. goes to that public school...”“Transfer him here so he can keep me company.” David smiles like the serpent.Katherine smiles slightly with her hand on her chin, “And so he doesn't get too close to Alan...”“Did you mention Alan?” David suddenly asks.“Wow! Don't scare me, David, I was just talking to myself.” Katherine quips, “How's your mother's business?”David lights up his face with a smile, “It's growing non-stop! Atelier Souza is becoming the point of the South Zone.”Katherine has a jolt, “Did you mean North Zone?”“No, I'm talking about the South Zone.” David confirms without noticing that Kat

Josias visits Marçal Publishing and finds Maggie and Gabriela preparing the article.“Let's use this photo for the cover.” Maggie highlights a photograph.“Yes, it turned out pretty.” Gabriela nods, “May Tess Reis's dream come true and let Maycon Reis become famous.”“Good morning!” Josias knocks on the open door.“Josias, come closer!” Maggie gestures.Gabriela feels shivers down her spine and makes an effort to be natural, “Good morning, Mr. Rocha.”Josias smiles gently at Gabriela, “Miss Alves, I heard that you are going to be a colleague of my younger brother, João Paulo. Does that confirm, Maggie?”Maggie quickly confirms, “Yes, yes, yes! It was your request to hire him, right? I was wondering why he didn't come sooner.”“He was working on a newspaper in the Capital.” Josias proudly replies, “But the longing for his family spoke louder. That's why he's coming back, to my delight.” He turns to Gabriela, “I hope you can receive him with affection and friendship.”“I'm sure we'll be

Now the city is decorated for Christmas this year. Mayor Tobias spared no effort or money to impress voters. A huge tree was placed in the middle of Ibrahim Square and the residents were delighted with the novelty.Josias was passing through the square and looked at the window of the Crystal Blue. The restaurant was filled with families wanting to have a Christmas dinner. He narrowed his eyes and could see Melissa among them, helping Kelvin. Josias smiles and decides to go there.When he walked in, Melissa saw him and her charming smile immediately faded. Josias did not understand.“Hi, Melissa. Won't you wish me a Merry Christmas?”“What do you think you're doing here?” Melissa asks sourly.“I just came to say hello to you. I don't have any tables reserved.” Josias is on the alert.“Good thing, because we are fully booked today.” Melissa looks at the booking book, “And it would be hard for me for you to celebrate the holiday with... your family.”Josias tries to stare at Melissa but
Building My Life Chapter 1998 Expectations for the Year 2000
Josias takes a deep breath and tries to explain his point of view to an irrational Katherine, “Honey, J.J. was already used to Alan and Caroline. In fact, he was getting along with all his friends. Why isolate it?”Katherine is horrified, “I won’t isolate him! J.J. will go to study with David! Or are you not considering your child as good company? Why does DAVID have to study alone?”Josias smiles slightly, “David is going to study here because Angela has determined so. And David wasn't opposed to the idea. If he wanted to go to the same school as his half-brothers, I wouldn't object.”“So there you go, J.J. is going to study at the school here because I'm his mother and I have the best in mind for him.” Katherine sits in the armchair, pretending.Josias doesn't buy her act, “Kate, stop acting. You felt jealous of Angela for wanting David to study at the school here and immediately transferred our son without telling me first.”Katherine tries to maintain the pretense, “Oh, how absurd
Building My Life Chapter 1999 Keep An Eye On David?
Josias visits Elza and Vernon in their new apartment, located on the tenth floor.“Sonny! Glad you came.” Vernon opens the door for him.Josias searches the apartment. The predominant colors are coffee, brown, and white in different shades. The furniture is mostly modern, but certain pieces like the armchairs have a classic touch, similar to the decoration of the Mountain Penthouse.“So, son, what did you think?" Elza gestures proudly.“Mom, Dad... congratulations! Now that's an address worthy of the head of journalists and a hotel manager!”Elza comments, “We didn't want to be snobby or prodigal, but... anyway, I think João Paulo deserves it when he comes back.”“I am dying to see my little brother again.” Josias anxiously states, “I have already asked Miss Alves and Maggie to take good care of him.”“It's a shame I'm not there anymore.” Vernon sighs, “But I trust my puppy's dexterity.”Josias declined to comment that Vernon was kicked out of Marçal Publishing because of his bad beha
Building My Life Chapter 2000 No Blessings This Time
Josias is uncomfortable with Vernon and Elza thinking they will have to watch David.“Guys, what's going on here? David needs to be watched from what? Don't tell me you're going to echo Kate's thoughts.”Elza reacts negatively, “Don't compare us to the troublemaker, son.”Josias is surprised, “But she also thinks that Angela sent David on a secret mission. Would you believe me if I told you that she transferred J.J. to Sunset Village Elementary School just because David goes there?”Vernon smirks, “She got jealous, simple as that.”“That's what I thought, but Kate denied it. David popped into our conversation and berated her the way I do. He took after me.” Josias smiles in satisfaction.Elza approaches him, “Son, if you can guarantee that David won't cause problems concerning Alan's succession... Look, he's my grandson too. That's why I wouldn't want to witness infighting.”Josias is calm, “Everyone already knows that Alan will replace me at Rocha Constructions. Anyone who disputes m

2000.Many Brazilians mistakenly welcomed the 21st century, others committed suicide thinking the world was going to end this year.But our hero Josias did neither one nor the other.He continued to work hard and protect Katherine as if she were a piece of china because of the curse Everaldo had uttered.While some fear the future, others rejoice and swim headlong.Wallace and Vera, for example, were finally able to celebrate their wedding without fear of Pamela intruding on the ‘forever hold your peace’ part.“By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You can kiss the bride!” Father Mathias, famously known among the group, united and blessed another couple.To the applause of guests and family, Wallace and Vera finally kiss like newlyweds.Isabel cries and looks up, missing Harold and Uélton, “You would love to be here.”When Wallace and Vera walk down the aisle, they get the famous rice shower.Josias applauds with satisfaction, “Uélton, your older brother is

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,
