Building My Life Chapter 2005 We're One Family
On Tuesday, Vernon is trying in vain to tie his tie in his bedroom. His cell phone rings. He goes to the dressing table to answer it and sees that it's Josias's number on the caller ID.“Hello, Josias! How can I help you so early?”“Vernon, did João Paulo return to Victoria?” Josias is still lying in bed, leaning against the headboard and with the blankets covering him from the waist down.“No, he slept here like a little angel.” Vernon smiles, “Why?”“Bernardo said he left the premises of Marçal Publishing in a hurry. Looks like we already got a disagreement.”Vernon breaks his smile. Elza enters the room and listens to the conversation from here.“My son quit his job?”“No, he just left unsatisfied according to the security guards at the entrance.” Josias soothes him.“Let's talk to him.” Vernon responds firmly, “Bernie did us a favor by hiring João Paulo, we're not going to let him pass up this opportunity.”“Thanks. Let's leave things in peace.” Josias smiles and says goodbye to h
Building My Life Chapter 2006 João Paulo Is Not a Baby Anymore
Elza enters the Rocha Hotel and finds Jane directing the maids with cleaning.“Girls, you cannot wear the same cloth all the time. See,” she runs her finger over a chair, “you guys cleaned it, but because the cloth was dirty, it just spread the dirt. Use a different cloth for each occasion, and then the furniture will be 100% clean.”“Thank you for the advice, Mrs. Motta.” One of the maids bows like she's Japanese.“Glad you understand.” The maids leave and Jane finds Elza, “Hello, Elza! How is your day?”“Very worried.” Elza lets out a sigh, “My baby has barely started labor and already fought with I don’t know who.”Jane laughs, “Elza, from what you've told me, João Paulo is no longer a baby. Is it true that he is as big and seductive as Josias was in his twenties?”Elza gives the manager a slight push, “Be respectful, girl! Don't let your hubby hear you.”The two ladies burst out laughing. João Paulo's beauty will still generate many comments among women.Elza continues, “It’s just

João Paulo arrives nervous because of the clash he had with William. But upon entering his office, he finds Gabriela waiting for him.Gabriela, in turn, thinks that João Paulo is nervous because of her and starts to apologize, “Sorry for the invasion, João Paulo, but I need to talk to you!”“We're talking.” He responds curtly and heads for the desk.“I want to apologize for the terrible sin I committed yesterday. Please, don't resign because of me.” Gabriela only needed to kneel.“I won’t resign.” João Paulo sits down, “And I'm not angry because of you. I met an asshole along the way.”Gabriela holds her tongue in time to ask, ‘Your father’? She clears her throat unnecessarily and continues, “So what's your first article going to be?”“How Will Campos went from winning scorer to paralyzed failure.”Gabriela bursts out laughing, “Ha, ha, ha! João Paulo, you really are your father’s son.”“GABRIELA!” Maggie exclaims unexpectedly.Gabriela takes another fright and takes her hand to her h
Building My Life Chapter 2008 You're His Uncle!
Josias is reading the outline of the speech he intends to give at the inauguration of the Uélton Freire Building.The desk phone rings and he picks it up with mild irritation, “Presidency, good morning!”“Mr. Rocha, it’s your brother. Can I transfer the call?” Pollyanna asks cautiously.“Yes, you can, Pollyanna.” Josias calms down when thinking about his dear brother, “Hello, João?”João Paulo is at the desk equally irritated, “Josias, we need to talk about Will and Caio Campos.”Josias lets out a long sigh, “Let me guess: you went to see your nephew and he acted like a jerk.”“Is he really my nephew?” João Paulo scratches the back of his neck, “Will even raised that doubt.”Josias bursts out laughing, “Ha, ha, ha! What an imbecile! If you are my brother, it stands to reason that you are Caio's uncle. Ah, João Paulo, don’t be angry with him.”“I'm about to write an article to defame him.” João Paulo has his fingers itching to get started.“No need, Will has had enough punishment. Now

Kelvin returns from the midday service with his tuxedo jacket over his shoulders, his tie undone, and two buttons undone on his shirt.Melissa smirks at him, “Hmm, when the handsome hubby shows up like that, it means he has bad intentions.”Kelvin equally grins and throws himself onto the sofa, snuggling and tickling his beloved wife, “You hit the jackpot!”Melissa enjoys the tickling. Alan and Caroline come down the corridor and smile at their mother being loved and cared for.“Will I ever be happy like Mommy?” Caroline whispers in Alan's ear.Alan gets embarrassed, “What is it, little sister?

Among the corridors of Rocha Constructions, the news has already spread like wildfire.Pollyanna has a whole bottle of pills in her hand about to swallow them all at once, with Alfred holding her wrist, “Don't do that, Pollyanna!”“Let go of me, Alfred! I need to commit suicide! I was responsible for the death of my boss's wife! I don't deserve life anymore!” Pollyanna shakes herself frantically.The bottle of pills falls from her hand and scatters across the floor. One of the pills lands on Octavio's foot. He follows the trail of the pills and discerns that they belonged to Pollyanna, “Pollyanna, I hope you haven't thought the worst.”Pollyanna lets the tears run down her cheeks, “I was very stupid, Octavio. I should never have doubted Everaldo's powerful words!”Everaldo became known among everyone intimate with Josias.Octavio strokes her head, “I don't believe Josias blames you for this.”Josias appears running and almost slips on the pills, “YAU! Someone sweep the floor, please!”

Josias arrives at the General Hospital and makes a big fuss in the corridors.“WHERE IS SHE? WHERE IS SHE? KATE! KAAAATEEE!”He bumps into Beto and Wallace and they both grab him.“Josias, for Christ’s sake, calm down!” Beto exclaims excitedly, “Let’s wait in the lounge.”Everyone enters the famous lounge. Isabel enters after them with a handkerchief embroidered in gold, “Josias, I’m so sorry...”“What happened, guys?” Josias no longer holds back the tears, “She said just today that she wasn’t going to die!”Isabel feels shivers on the back of her neck, “She defied Divine law, Josias.”“Isabel, I don't believe Everaldo could have had the courage to kill her. Why?” Josias exclaims in disgust.Wallace shakes Josias by the shoulders, “For God's sake, man, don't go turning into an atheist now! You've always believed what Everaldo said since 1980. And you REALLY don't know why Katherine is being punished?”Josias sits on the sofa with tremors, “Kate and I forgive each other.”“Did she and

Chapter 3245 The Kiss of the One We Love
That afternoon, the living room of the Mountain Penthouse was tense and electric. Diane stepped in, only to find her son Felipe in the middle of a heated argument with Jake Cogo. Her expression immediately twisted into one of displeasure.“Hey, what’s going on here?” she asked sharply. “Mr. Cogo, my son needs to rest.”Jake didn’t flinch. “I can see that, Mrs. Mountain. But this is urgent.”Placing her purse on the sideboard, Diane raised an eyebrow. “And what’s so important that it needs to be discussed right now?”Jake turned to her. “Felipe says he wants to break up with my sister. I have to be involved in this.”A sly, almost mischievous smile tugged at Diane’s lips. “And where is Suzy, by the way?”Jake flinched, suddenly sheepish. “Er... she went to look for investors at—”“I don’t give a damn!” Diane exploded. “Mr. Cogo—”“Jake,” he corrected quickly.“‘Jake,’ I’m deeply disappointed in the way Suzy handled this whole situation. I was supporting her as my future daughter-in-law
Chapter 3244 Taken by the CEO’s Son
In the elegant living room of the Mountain Penthouse, Mary gently rocked baby Anthony in her arms. The soft rhythm of her lullaby filled the space — until the sound of the doorbell cut through the quiet.“That’s odd,” Mary murmured, her brow furrowing. “No one called from the front desk...” She approached the door cautiously and asked, “Who is it?”A voice responded from the other side. “Jake Cogo!”Mary raised an eyebrow, surprised. “Hold on a second!”Just then, Felipe emerged slowly, dressed in a white robe, walking with measured steps — the toll of his recent hospital stay still evident in his posture.“Who is it, Mary?” he asked.“Jake Cogo,” she answered, puzzled. “Cousin, weren’t you dating his sister?”Felipe grimaced, visibly annoyed by the mention.“Mary, I’m not dating Jake,” he clarified. “You better take our little cousin to his crib.”Mary gave a small smile. “Oh, Anthony’s already asleep. My lullaby must’ve been either very soothing or incredibly boring.”Felipe chuckle

At Café Montanha, Rodrigo returned from the supermarket and took a long, satisfied look around his bustling business. Customers chatted over coffee and snacks, while Neilton and the other waiters moved about swiftly and professionally, serving with ease.“Hey, Rod! What’s up?” Neilton called out with a grin.Rodrigo replied, “Neil, sometimes I envy you for not having a mountain of problems.”Laughing, Neilton shot back, “And I envy you for having a big, noisy family.”Rodrigo paused, swallowing hard. “I’m sorry.”“Nah, I’m just joking — well, maybe not. I do wish I had at least a younger brother.”Rodrigo chuckled lightly. “Whenever I need to, I talk to Veronica over video call. Anyway, I meant the problems at the supermarket.”They made their way to the counter.“Still that issue with the truck from Bezerra Farm?” Neilton asked.“That’s resolved. But now we know why it happened.” Rodrigo lowered his voice, glancing around. “Be careful with the Borges brothers. They’re not who we thou
Chapter 3242 Not Such a Cordial Neighbor
At the Vaztrans office, Suzy walked in expecting to find Sofia at her desk. Instead, she was surprised to see Alan there alone.She had no idea she was about to be handled like livestock on its way to the slaughterhouse.“Alan, what a surprise. What are you doing here? Where’s Sofia?” she asked.Alan leaned back with a hint of irony in his tone. “Which of those two questions should I answer?”Suzy paused, confused by the odd remark.“We need to talk, Suzy,” he continued, pushing a check across the desk.Suzy’s breath caught as she picked it up and read the staggering amount.“This check...?” she whispered.“It’s the amount you invested in Vaztrans, plus ten percent in compensation, as outlined in your contract,” Alan explained coolly.“You’re... returning my investment?” she asked, her voice tight.“Exactly. We no longer require your partnership, Miss Cogo.”Suzy’s eyes narrowed. “May I ask what this is about?”“It’s simple,” Alan said, calm but firm. “My wife believes you’re not cont
Chapter 3241 The Mountain Family Has Lost Its Relevance
In the Vaztrans offices, William extended a freshly written check to Sofia. Standing nearby, Alan wore a solemn expression, watching the transaction with quiet attention.“Here you go, my dear partner,” William said with finality. “This is our salvation.”Sofia took the check and her eyes widened with disbelief. “The bank’s never going to cash this much for Suzy,” she muttered.William shrugged indifferently. “Then they’ll figure out another way to get the money back to her.”Alan leaned forward, trying to get a better look at the amount. “My dad’s being pretty generous, huh?”“Thank God,” Sofia said. A relieved smile crept onto her face. “Any doubts I had about being accepted into this family are gone.” She brightened, holding the check delicately. “I’m even going to text Caroline. What do you think, honey?”Alan chuckled and leaned over, placing a gentle kiss on the crown of her head. “She’ll love that.”Still serious, William interjected, “So, who’s going to break the news?”Alan’s
Chapter 3240 You Keep the Cycle of Hate Spinning
At the Lafayette Mansion, in the elegantly furnished living room, Thierry was seething with fury. The revelation that criminals had used his supermarket as a stage for their schemes infuriated him.“How dare those idiots?” he barked. “And what about Leonardo? Isn’t he the top lawyer at Damascene Lawyers?”J.J. answered with a grim tone. “Apparently being a lawyer for the most prestigious firm in Lagoon City has become some sort of cover for him.”Rodrigo, firm and resolute, added, “Well, then we’ll have to tear that cover off. Brigitte and Little Theo can’t have their reputations stained.”“And let’s not forget,” J.J. continued, “my father is a client of that firm. He knows Miguel Damascene personally — he’s the current owner.”Thierry clenched his jaw. “And there’s more. My wife is Little Theo’s sister—”
Chapter 3239 Felipe Is Discharged
The next day, inside the Mountain Penthouse living room, Daryl and Kelvin gently helped Felipe toward the couch. Diane and Karen stood nearby, visibly emotional to see him back.“Easy does it, son,” Daryl said with paternal care as they guided him.Felipe chuckled, amused by the fuss. “I’m fine, Dad. Don’t worry.”Diane’s eyes brimmed with tears. “My baby boy...”“Hey, Mom!” Felipe greeted her playfully. “Back from vacation — just please, for the love of God, don’t make me sit or lie down already!”Laughter erupted from everyone. Kelvin settled him into the comfortable armchair.“Doctor’s orders, Felipe. You just had surgery,” he reminded.“I swear, I’m okay!” Felipe insisted.“Maybe now, it looks that way,” Diane said gently. “But we can’t push our luck.”“Exac
Chapter 3238 Mary’s Quinceañera (2)
The quinceañera celebration continued in full swing at the Rocha Events Hall. Mary was now dancing with her uncle William. Despite his age, William still had the charm of a man who once graced soccer fields and magazine covers, and Mary’s friends were more than a little impressed.“My mom still keeps pictures of Mr. Campos from the ’80s,” one of her friends whispered to another, watching them dance. “He was such a heartthrob when he played soccer.”“I think my mom mentioned him too,” the second girl replied with a laugh.Andrew, catching a bit of their conversation, raised an eyebrow. “What are you girls talking about?”With mock innocence, the first friend smirked. “Jealous, Andrew? Don’t be. He’s just her hot uncle.”Andrew rolled his eyes, not rising to the bait. He knew exactly who William was.Meanwhile, William glanced around the dance floor and smiled at his niece. “I think I’m confusing your suitors, Mary.”“Let them be confused,” she replied sweetly. “I’m having a blast, Uncl

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
