Building My Life Chapter 2285 Uélton Freire Orphanage
The inauguration of the Uélton Freire Orphanage has arrived.It was a memorable occasion. Josias, once again, was summoned to give a speech. The Freire family was present, dressed elegantly.Tobias brought some children who were waiting at the Minor Institute to be transferred to their new home. Photographers did not skimp on pictures with them.Balloons were released into the air and fireworks were set off.Josias is given a wireless microphone and starts talking, “Hello, citizens of Lagoon City! I’m getting savvy in the art of opening public buildings in this city, eh?”The audience applauds, cheers, and laughs, all at the same time! Josias is a citizen loved by the people!Alan just watches how Josias is admired and yearns to achieve the same level of respect and power.“They love your daddy, buddy,” Reuben whispers to him. Both are wearing suits and ties.“Yes, and I hope they love me too.”Josias continues, “Well, you already know who Uélton Freire is. I’ll never get tired until
Building My Life Chapter 2286 Death in Chaves’s Family
After the party, Josias and Alan return home with a full stomach.“Mrs. Freire and Mrs. Reis did their best on that chicken pot pie, huh?” Alan comments as they walk through the foyer, “I don’t know if I can handle dinner.”“Tomorrow I’ll double the reps in the gym.” Josias jokes.But with his mind set on physical exercise, Josias takes a good look at the heir and firstborn, “What about you, Alan?”“Me?” Alan stops the steps. He was already going up the stairs.“You don’t think about starting to exercise?”“No, I don’t intend to be a model like Rodrigo.” Alan jokes.Josias laughs, but shakes his head, “I’m not necessarily talking about that, son. You know, every man has to be strong. And being strong results, without exception, ingrown muscles and a robust body. Take my example: I never intended to be a bodybuilder or a model like Rodrigo, but I never wanted to be weak and skinny either.”Alan nods, “Dad, you’ve worked as a bricklayer since you were 18, so it’s understandable that you
Building My Life Chapter 2287 One More Discovery
A few days later, Josias returned from his mission in Victoria. Tiago was practically camped out in the mansion, waiting for his master to return.“Master, how was your expedition?” Tiago asked.Josias chuckled, “First, say ‘good morning,’ Tiago.” He handed his bags to Hector.“Apologies, master.” The gentlemen entered the foyer. “I’m worried about my niece. Has my wife been around?”“Yes, Carmen has been a great help and source of wisdom.” Josias sighed. “Rosemary was convinced she did the right thing, but once she truly realized what she had done, she sank into depression.”“And what about the son of the advertiser? They say he’s from the same agency the Lafayettes are shooting the commercial for.” Tiago furrowed his brow.“We won’t do anything, especially since Rodrigo works with them. By the way, have you seen the commercials?” Josias asked.Tiago calmed down. “Yes, they fired the blonde woman who wore tight shirts and rehired the traditional and conservative family, with Rodrigo
Building My Life Chapter 2288 Maybe If You Behave...
During lunchtime, Josias decided to visit Crystal Blue. Felipe, working as a waiter, warmly welcomed him.“Mr. Rocha... Welcome! It’s been a few days since I last saw you here.”“I was traveling to Victoria for personal matters,” Josias replied kindly. “Is your father here?”Felipe tried to maintain a smile on his face, but Josias noticed the hesitation in the young man. “Uh... He’s in his office.”“Don’t worry, Felipe, I won’t do anything. You can even frisk me.”“Don’t make me do that!” Felipe took it as a joke and relaxed.After sharing a laugh with Felipe, Josias made his way to the office. Daryl was at the computer with a slight smile. Last week’s revenue had increased by 5% compared to previous weeks when rumors of a feud between him and Josias circulated.The door opened, and Josias entered. “Daryl, I need to talk to you.”Daryl looked up and spoke in a serious tone, “Suit yourself.”Josias entered and closed the door. Then he stood in front of the restaurant owner’s desk.“Her

Josias got up and decided to go to the hospital to check on his friend Beto.But as he was taking steps towards the door, putting on his jacket... Damn it! Today he had a meeting to discuss a new project in Guarapari!In fact, the door opened, and Alfred found him. “Josias? Are you ready? We’re heading to the conference room.”Josias tried to disguise his concern. “We’re ready, Alfred.”“Is something wrong? You seem worried.” Alfred tried to be friendly.“Something happened, but people keep telling me that I need to focus more on business and stop being a babysitter for my friends.” Josias smiled bitterly.Alfred looked at the clock. “Well... That’s what people say. But what about YOU, Josias? What do you want to do?”Josias felt tempted by Alfred to postpone the meeting and go to the hospital. But... “No, let’s go to the meeting. I’ve already given the order to Pollyanna. They’ll take care of everything for me.”“Then let’s go!” Alfred smiled and made way for his boss to pass.Meanwh
Building My Life Chapter 2290 Make a Story
At the General Hospital, Josias approaches the information desk and asks the nurse, “Good afternoon. I need to speak to the doctor in charge of the patient Roberto Reis.”The nurse smiles and replies, “We’re already aware of your involvement, sir. The cardiologist surgeon, Dr. Fraga, is still in the operating room with his team. Please keep calm.”“Thank you,” Josias nods in response.Teresa appears down the corridor. She looks tired but manages to smile. “Josias...”“Hi, Tess,” Josias approaches her and they hug. “How is our champion?”“He’s still having surgery,” Teresa replies. “The rest of the family is inside.”Josias looks concerned. “What a situation, Tess. What brought this on? Wasn’t he taking his medication properly?”Teresa breaks the hug and faces Josias, uncertain whether or not to speak.“Go ahead, Tess,” Josias encourages her.Teresa swallows dryly and says, “What would you say if you knew that Beto read about Rose’s abortion in the LCN newspaper?”Josias’s face reddens

The next day, Nadia showed up at Café Mountain to talk to her boyfriend. At least she thought she was dating Rodrigo.As she was greeted by the aroma of espresso and the song “Don’t Let Them Get Me” by Pink, Nadia finds Rodrigo wearing an apron that hugged his body.“Hmm... my boyfriend likes to show off his muscular body, huh?”“Stop it, honey, you’re making me shy.” Rodrigo strokes her head, “But... are we officially a couple?”“Wow, aren’t we?” Nadia is surprised, “After the romantic night we had, according to my father...”“Well, it’s confirmed: we’re boyfriend and girlfriend,” Rodrigo replies hurriedly before Jacques enters the café demanding compensation for his little princess.Nadia laughs, “What a rush... Anyway, how is Roberto Reis, the man who managed the supermarket before me?”“You hold him in high esteem without ever having worked with him, huh?” Rodrigo finds that interesting.“It’s the way Mr. Ramos spoke of him when he sold the supermarket to us.” Nadia admits, “I can

Everyone in Beto’s room rejoices with him waking up. Teresa has to stop herself from climbing on top of her convalescing husband.“DEAR! Beto... my love... you’re awake!”“Yes, guys, why all the fuss?” Beto speaks, his voice is weak.Everyone laughs.“Sorry, brother-in-law.” Wallace says, “We overdid the voice.”“It’s the first time a patient has woken up because of visitors.” Vera jokes.Wallace puts his hand on his wife’s shoulder, “Come on, Vera. Let’s leave the family for now.”Wallace and Vera leave.Beto takes a deep breath. Color is returning to his face.“Daddy, are you not going to die anymore?” Maycon asks just to be sure.“Who said that?” Beto tries to raise his hand to stroke his son’s head, but he is still weak. A needle stuck in his hand hinders the process.“That’s what everyone said.” Maycon shrugs, “But Grandma Isabel prayed to God and he healed you.”Beto smiles and nods.Pedro says, “Dad, Reuben said you have to be alive for his wedding feast.”“Reuben is a... good-

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,
