Building My Life Chapter 2124 Saying Goodbye
Kelvin takes offense at Dora suggesting he would stay away from the family, “What do you mean by that, Dora? Of course, my family will come along!”Caroline is shocked, “Are we moving to Victoria?”Melissa sits next to her on the sofa, “Yes, daughter! Let's live close to Ray Chaves, see Junior, Cristina, Moacyr, Uncle Adolfo, and Aunt Vânia... wouldn't that be nice?”Caroline wonders, “Yeah, that would be nice... but what about the rest of our family?”“We’ll see each other on school holidays and at the end of the year, Carol.” Kelvin argues, “I’ll also miss the direct contact, as I’ll be alone in the capital while my brothers remain here. But the restaurant is doing very well and we cannot miss this opportunity.”Caroline looks at her grandmother, “I was hoping to work with Aunt Maggie and Mary.”Melissa convinces her, “Carol, you and Mary need to go to Journalism College in Victoria. Sooner or later you would have to move to the capital. Why don't we get on with it sooner?”Dora nod
Building My Life Chapter 2125 Chicken Carcass
Josias has the odd feeling that Melissa has brought Caroline along to make it easier for him to accept that they are leaving Lagoon City.So, he continues to chat with Caroline and totally ignores Melissa, “What about your Mom's soap opera?”“Mom will talk to the LCN guys tomorrow. And we're going to have a little farewell party. Will you appear?”“No, daughter. We better say goodbye here.” Josias feels his voice trembling.“OK, see you on school holidays, Daddy!” Caroline hugs Josias once more.“Can I have a few words with your mother, Carol?”“Sure! I'm going to the mansion to say goodbye to Alan.” Caroline breaks the hug and leaves the lounge.Melissa's peace of mind went down the drain when Josias proposed to his daughter to leave.After the door closes, Josias shoots Melissa a stern look, “So you've decided to leave? After everything we've been t
Building My Life Chapter 2126 Suspicious Departure
Josias enters the mansion and finds Caroline, as mentioned before, saying goodbye to her brother in the main living room.But Reuben and Pedro are present and take the opportunity to do the same.However, Reuben is more devastated than Alan and fervently hugs his future wife, “CAROL! NO, don't go away! Why do you need to go to college if your future is already guaranteed at Maggiezine?”Caroline laughs, “Oh, you mean I can do my job without studying? It makes no sense!”Reuben breaks the hug and looks at her deeply, “You can do it because you are perfect.”Pedro clears his throat, “We will miss you, Carol. Say hello to Junior for us.”“He must be big.” Caroline laughs.Josias enters the living room, “He is twenty years old. Hello, son, hello, Pedro.”“Uncle Josias...” Pedro lifts an imaginary hat.Alan crosses his arms, “Dad, are yo
Building My Life Chapter 2127 Nobody Believes in Coincidence
Josias is now alone in his office, in his blue robe, trying to read a book by Stendhal, but Melissa's departure has prevented him from concentrating. Alan enters the enclosure and finds his father restless.“Father, are you sure—”“Son, don't confuse me.” Josias scolds him, “Your mother decided to stay with her current husband, even though I declared my love to her.”“Father, that is a risk you took.” Alan scratches his chin, “After all, my Mom isn't free. If my mother was someone like Angela or Kate, she would have cheated on Kelvin years ago.”“Precisely why I want her.” Josias buries his hands in his head, “She's a different woman. And damn Kelvin knows that, which is why he wants to take her away from me.”“Take her away?”“Son, do you definitely believe that this talk of opening a Crystal Blue branch came out of nowhere, with no u
Building My Life Chapter 2128 I Swear I'll Wait
Simeon calmly responds to William, “Son, I think we better stay out of this intrigue.”“Why?” William widens his eyes, “Do you want Melissa to go away?”Simeon smiles confidently, “No, but she needs to follow her husband wherever he goes. I'm sure she would do the same with Josias.”“She should as well be Josias's wife now.” William scoffs.“Do you think that if Melissa wants to, the distance would be a hindrance?” Simeon asks.William thinks for a few seconds, then smiles, “No. Josias and Melissa, if they are meant for each other, would find a way to get together even if Melissa moves to Johannesburg!”“So, there we have our hope, son!” Simeon taps William's arm, “We need not scheme anything, nor stoop to the level of the Mountains. If it's God's will, Melissa and Josias will be together.”“Well, I'm sure of one thing: if
Building My Life Chapter 2129 The Farewell Party
Kelvin and Melissa throw a farewell party at the Mountain Penthouse, which will soon be changing hands.Despite the song “Let’s Dance” by Five, no one was in the mood for it.Alan arrives and hugs his mother once more, “Mom, I can't believe we're going to get any further away! Can I visit you on school holidays?”“Of course, you can, son!” Melissa emotes, “Kelvin won't object. Alright, dear?”Kelvin nods smiling, “Absolutely. I’ll miss you, Alan. You are a fellow that I had the pleasure of taking care of.”Alan smiles at his stepdad, “And you continue to take care of my little sister and my twin brothers. Where are they?”“Here!” Ignacio manifests. He and Mary appear in casual attire.Alan hugs the twins. Caroline wipes her tears gently with a Chinese silk handkerchief.Dora and Simeon are next to arrive.“Hello! How is the food preparation going?” Dora asks.“The pizzas are baking,” Melissa responds.“It was kind of Will to give up these pizzas.” Kelvin asserts.Simeon doesn't greet
Building My Life Chapter 2130 Gabriela Got Stupid
Ironically, the radio is playing Emma Bunton's “What Took You So Long” when Kelvin and Melissa wanted Gabriela to take forever to not get to the party.And she still asks for Josias?“Josias says he won’t attend.” Melissa responds with a grim countenance, “And you don't know my kids well enough to say goodbye.”“But I know you, your family... and it's a Mountain family party, correct?”“Listen here, you slut—” Kelvin starts cussing.Bernardo approaches them, “Miss Alves? What a pleasure to see you here. Come in, we need to talk to you.”Gabriela widens her eyes, “Bernie? Why are you calling me formally?”Bernardo turns to Melissa, “Can I use your office, sister-in-law?”“Sure, Bernie!” Melissa points in that direction.Bernardo and Gabriela go to the office. Maggie approaches Melissa with a platter of pizza.“Do you want? What are Bernardo and Gabriela going to talk about?”Melissa and Kelvin each choose a slice.“I think today is the time to slaughter the steer.” Kelvin laughs before
Building My Life Chapter 2131 Assassin's Cove
Everyone is surprised by the unexpected voice before toasting.Melissa frowns. She expected Josias, but it wasn’t him. Where had she heard that voice before?The Mountain family is stunned when they see CLÁUDIO GUZMAN returning wearing a dark green suit and matching tie. A new close-cropped hairstyle and two-day stubble completed the look. On the lips, a victorious and... charming smile for the late Kate Bezerra Rocha.“Like this? I just got back and you guys are leaving?”“MR. GUZMAN!” Caroline and the other children run up and hug him, “We miss you!”“Are you going to teach Carol swimming in Victoria?”“Reuben!” Isabel puts her hand on her glabella. That grandson of hers...Cláudio laughs pleasantly, “I'm glad I was missed.”Caroline is sad, “Mr. Guzman... did you hear that Kate and my little brother J.J. passed away?”“Yes, I was waiting for their plane at the airport when they broke the news.” Cláudio responds by glaring at Kelvin and Daryl, “Since I was left alone in America, I d

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
Chapter 3231 The Viper of Lagoon City
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,
