Building My Life Chapter 2136 More Assumptions
Gabriela is walking down the street when an unidentifiable gentleman approaches her. He wore sunglasses, a black suit, and a matching tie.“Miss Alves? On behalf of Josias Rocha, we recommend that you accompany me to his office.”Gabriela again feels panic, “Who are you?”“I work for Mr. Bento and we are servants of Josias Rocha, the sovereign. Please come to the limousine, and don't make a fuss.”“HEL—”Before Gabriela could scream, the mysterious guy grabbed her, covered her mouth with one hand, and dragged her to the limousine with the other hand. Those who were passing by pretended they didn't see anything, afraid of harming themselves.******At Crystal Blue, Ivan and Lorraine have lunch with meatballs in authentic tomato sauce with pasta cooked in garlic and olive oil and grated cheese on top for decoration.“I missed that handsome maître d', the lucky one who married Melissa Campos,” Lorraine comments.Ivan takes a sip of his dry wine, “Lucky is the right word. He fled before J
Building My Life Chapter 2137 They Don't Want to Talk
Josias and Octavio walk through the corridors of Rocha Constructions after lunch. “Are you sure you don't need my help, Octavio?” Josias insists, “I would hate to know that you are hiding your problems from me intending to spare me. What's the use of being your best friend if I can't help you?” Octavio smiles in thanks, “No need to worry, buddy!” “OK, take the rest of the day off and accompany your wife to her appointments with Dr. Silvana.” Josias does not give up. Before Octavio protests, Josias turns to Pollyanna. “Mr. Rocha, Mr. Guzman and Miss Alves have been captured and are waiting for you.” Josias rolls his eyes. Sure enough, Tiago's henchmen abducted Claudio and Gabriela like in some action movies! He enters the office and prepares drinks to calm the visitors. Afterward, he goes to the side door and enters the lounge. Gabriela was banging on the door and hoarse from screaming, “LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT!”
Building My Life Chapter 2138 Wrong Address?
In Josias's office, Gabriela and Cláudio finally want to know what the president of the company has to say.“Now I'm curious.” Claudio accepts the drink.“Here’s the thing, folks.” Josias sits in the armchair, “Why did you decide to ruin Melissa's farewell party?”Gabriela smirks, “Isn't she Mrs. Mountain? Why do you still call her ‘Melissa’? Oh, God, Josias, don't tell me you still have feelings for her! So that's why you kidnapped us?”Josias puts his hand to his forehead and shakes his head, “Mr. Bento exaggerated. It wasn't meant to drag you against your will. Anyway, you only asked and didn’t answer my question, Gabriela.”“I thought I was still involved with the Mountain family as their friend.” Gabriela responds uncomfortably, “But I found out the worst possible way that I was fired. Melissa tried to dump me from the party and I could

Ingrid is stunned when she discovers that her son is not hiding at the aforementioned address.“Excuse me, ma'am...”“Mrs. Reis.” Teresa introduces herself, “I am the daughter-in-law of the late Teodoro Reis.”She points to the portrait and Ingrid nods in reverence, “I'm so sorry for your loss. But my boy is here chasing an underage young lady. I fear it could escalate into a scandal of epic proportions.”Teresa frowns. If the problem is with the underage girl, why does Ingrid call her son 'my boy'? He must be over twenty-one!“Didn’t a disheveled-looking guy in decrepit clothes stay here?” Ingrid insists.Teresa widens her eyes, “A gentleman who was over thirty years old, without documents, named John, stayed here. He cannot be your son, madam.”Ingrid has a strange feeling that this 'sir' is her mischievous son, “Well, what about this John, what is h

João Paulo meets with Vernon at their apartment. Elza is sitting on the couch watching the music video for “Lady Marmalade” and imagining herself having the same physical shape as Christina Aguilera, Pink, Lil' Kim, or Mya.The gentlemen let the mistress of the home entertain herself and they chat in a corner of the living room.“I got it, Dad. I found a debt-ridden doctor willing to do us both a favor.”“Will he be able to personally assist Gabriela Alves?” Vernon asks anxiously.“He doesn't guarantee that, but he can get into the archives if necessary. He is a colleague of Dr. Silvana, which increases our luck.”“Yes, if someone catches him messing with the documents, no one will suspect him.” Vernon smiles, “Congrats, son. Could it be that his debts are too high?”João Paulo sighs, “Sure, I promised to pay only the most urgent ones. What a man tang

The next day, Josias is eating breakfast with a worried countenance, even munching on the most delicious homemade bread he's ever eaten with butter and cinnamon.Alan notices his father scowling, “You can tell me. I’ll hear you, Dad.”“Yesterday I had a problem, and today I'll have to deal with another one.” Josias replies, “Do you believe I was charged to Sergeant Oliveira?”Alan grimaces, “Urgh! What was it this time? Adrian Barbosa got out of jail and pestered you again?”Josias has a startle. He had long since forgotten the existence of his worst enemy! “Adrian, if he got out of jail, he must have gone to live with his father in Victoria. He wouldn't be here alone to face me.”“Would Seu Moacyr accept him back even after the attempted murder?”“He always had a good heart.” Josias smiles as he remembers Moacyr.“When I'm in Victoria visiting Carol, I'll want to visit them too,” Alan says with a smile.Josias nodded. The homemade bread tastes good on his tongue again and he helps hi

Meanwhile, the Backstreet Boys' song “The Call” fills the house.William has itchy arms in anxiety, “Uff, let them start soon!”“I can't imagine what this swimming instructor would have to say.” Simeon frowns.Caio mischievously suggests, “Grandpa, I think this fellow knows he will no longer be hired to give swimming lessons and is trying to make a living by sensationalist means. You know... soon he will be called to Lisandro's Show, soon some magazine will call him for another interview...”“Are you saying the guy wants to be a celebrity at the expense of Kate and J.J.'s corpses?” Dora asks in amazement.“Exactly, Grandma,” Caio nodded, “This guy has become an opportunist.”William smiles proudly, “I'm glad to see you smarter, Caio. Unfortunately, people in this world are like that. I can attest to them.”Caio smiles at his father, “Don't be tough on yourself, Dad. Yo

Josias goes to the police station to inquire Ivan Moraes about the accusation that someone registered against him.Amoreira asks him in the hallways, “Mr. Rocha, do you intend to defend yourself against the charges?”Amoreira was referring to the interview given by Cláudio, but Josias did not yet know this.“I'm going to talk to your sergeant right now.”“No, he's not mine, he belongs to Lorraine...” Amoreira grimaces in disgust and Josias laughs.As he enters Sergeant Moraes's office, he looks up from the computer with surprise in his eyes, “And you actually come to defend yourself?”“Cut the sh*t.” Josias sits face-to-face, “Tell me right away what happened.”Ivan purposely types slowly and takes time to access the police report, “Nowadays, we do everything by computer, isn't that amazing?”“QUICK, I'M IN A HURRY!”“Calm down, you hurried one!” Ivan smiles mockingly.He 'finds' the bulletin and begins to read, “It's this: Gabriela Alves denounced you for moral harassment.”Josias tu

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,
