Building My Life Chapter 2184 Time to Reflect
At the advertising agency, Nadia and Rodrigo meet to check out the recorded commercial. Both are seated at a round table, in a conference room, in front of a screen where the image of the commercial will be projected.As Nadia had requested, a family consisting of a husband, wife, and two children was shopping at the supermarket. The wife chose vegetables, the husband chose barbecue meat, and the children chose treats.Then Rodrigo appears smiling, in a navy blue polo shirt and freshly dyed jeans, with the aforementioned family in the background, “Lafayette Supermarket: ready to serve your whole family. Come check!”That simple sentence and Rodrigo's few seconds of acting were enough for Nadia to feel pregnant with triplets.The commercial ended, and the person responsible for the project turned on the lights. He was a docile, adorable, bespectacled boy with a good heart. It was probably his first job after graduating from UFES.“What then, Miss Lafayette? Is the commercial to your li
Building My Life Chapter 2185 Lorraine's Bomb
Days passed. Cláudio is in his apartment, lying on the sofa wrapped in a blanket from the waist down, reading the LCN newspaper.A piece of news that read more like a footnote from Vernon reported that Thierry Lafayette has been found and is safe.Cláudio frowns, “Such an important story that ran for days, suddenly disappeared from TV and newspapers, and now that the case has been resolved, they just write this tiny note? What does that mean? Could it be... could it be that the matter was truly resolved?”A malicious smile springs from Claudio's lips.He settles back into the pillows and continues to scan the headlines, but nothing else is said.“Why do I have the feeling that this has the hand of Josias Rocha?”******In Gabriela's apartment, the subject is the same.Gabriela is trying to feed baby food to a reluctant Sandra, “Darling, isn't there anything else in the papers about Th
Building My Life Chapter 2186 Another Guy for Nadia
Claudio visits the Lafayette Supermarket. He is enchanted by the place full of customers, filling the shopping carts, driven by the commercial that always runs in the intervals of ‘Sweet Love’, ‘Love Spins the World’, and on the TV news.Ronan Keating's song “Life Is A Rollercoaster” sets the mood for the supermarket.Claudio looks at the promotional prices, smiles assent, looking for someone from the Lafayette family. Nobody.So he sneaks through the direct access to the warehouse and finds Nadia walking into her office (which should be Thierry’s).Nadia is in awe of the effect the commercial has had. It was a necessary and wise investment.When she is smiling, remembering Rodrigo gesticulating when saying ‘Come check it out’, with his arm muscles flexing, with his chest marked in the polo collar shirt, behold, another attractive man clears his throat.“Caham, caham... Excuse me, M
Building My Life Chapter 2187 The New Supervisor
At Lafayette Supermarket, the conversation between Nadia and Cláudio continues. Now they were both sitting opposite each other with their cup of coffee.“So, Miss Lafayette?”Nadia shakes the hand holding the cup, “Mr. Guzman...”“Call me Cláudio,” He said with an irresistible smile.“Cláudio… as I said, I don't think we should take any chances with the city's big shots. We’re only one year here, I don't know if I do well to face Josias Rocha.”“So, he has something to do with your brother's disappearance.” Cláudio concludes, still grinning, “I'm glad he reappeared. Can I talk to him?”“He didn't reappear!” Nadia blurts out, then widens her eyes.“Perfect!” Cláudio puts his cup on the saucer and applauds, “I was suspicious of that footnote left by Vernon Queiroz.”“Wha

“How great, my comrade!” Josias applauds, “One less thing for me to worry about.”Octavio closes the door and tsks with his tongue, “You are the one who voluntarily meddles in people’s problems, unable to let us suffer a little in this life.”Josias shrugs, “Why do my friends and family have to suffer when I am here to help?”“OK, thanks for that.” Octavio chuckles, “Anyway, did you see the floor plan for one of my collaborators?”Josias smiles in approval, “Perfect. Ironically, it's for a client of ours from Europe Garden.”“Mr. Lafayette telephoned me demanding the return of his son.”Josias fades his smile, “The imbecile Ivan Moraes must have given him the phone number. And his wife read my bio, she knows who you are. Oh! She showed up here announcing that she is expecting his child.”Octavio laughs, “He better ge

Outside Octavio's house, Rosemary waits anxiously as if under the influence of energy drinks.“It's now, it's now, IT'S NOW, DAD! My dear, sweet, lovely beggar John! And he’ll no longer be a beggar! He's going to take a shower, wash his hair, clean his private parts, wear new underwear, get a job, earn money, buy a house just for him... and finally... form a family and be happy and fulfilled like everyone else man deserves to be!”Beto shakes his head, “Looks like you're head over heels in love with that beggar, child! Come on, let's go home.”Rosemary stiffens and sticks her feet to the doormat, “NO Dad, we haven't come this far to back off now!”“Why are you so interested in this guy?”“I DON'T KNOW!” Rosemary cries out, “It's a feeling I can't explain. When I was with him... the world around me no longer existed. He gives me comfort, security, friendship...”&ld
Building My Life Chapter 2190 Gabriela Asks for a Job
In the Teodoro Building, Teresa and Vera are anxious about the outcome of Rosemary and Beto's visit to Octavio's house. Ironically, the lobby radio plays “I'm a Believer” by Smash Mouth.“Will Rosemary believe Patrick is the ‘beggar’?” Vera wonders.“If she doesn’t believe it, Beto will ground her.” Teresa responds with a hard look, “She needs to wake up to life. This obsession with the ‘beggar’ isn’t normal.”“And she swore so hard not to follow in her mother's footsteps...”“But she didn’t just follow in the footsteps, she dove in head first!”Teresa and Vera are startled by Patrick's bitter voice.“Pat, we know you're upset, but—”“Did she go there?” Patrick interrupts Vera with a glare.Teresa responds, “Yes, Pat. She went. She needs to know the truth.”“She
Building My Life Chapter 2191 Double Strike
In the Teodoro building, Teresa and Vera watch a broken Rosemary running in tears, her forearm hiding her face, too vexed to face anyone. The door to their apartment slams shut.“She accepted?” Tess asks her husband.“Yes, my dear. Finally, she accepted.” Beto takes a deep breath.“Bro, I’m afraid I gotta tell you some bad news.” Vera takes the floor.“More bad news?” Beto laughs, “I better double my medication.”Teresa takes this literally and runs to the counter drawer to get the pills, “I’m coming, honey.”“No, Tess, I was kidding.” Beto laughs, “Anyway, Vera, tell me what’s going on?”“Patrick has come down here in a rage, stating that he wants to break up with Rosemary regardless of the outcome,” Vera reports it.Beto gets serious, “Hey, if Rosemary insisted on accepting Thierry, I would even

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,
