Building My Life Chapter 2296 When Will Things Get Better?
Josias remembers that Teresa asked him to say that Rosemary’s abortion was false news.“Ah, yes... How could I pass up such a slur? Rosemary got depressed in Victoria.”Beto nods, “Looks like my little princess was really upset. She went to Paris with Carmen and Caroline to hide from bad publicity. But she didn’t know that I ended up passing out, which is why she didn’t come to visit me.”The others just stare at each other, confused.Beto continues to speak, “But thinking about it, I even prefer Rose to have stayed in Paris. Why does she want to come here just to cry about my near death? I didn’t die, and I’m better. I don’t want my daughter interrupting her life because of her old dad.”Octavio interjects, “It’s not like that, Beto. You have suffered a cardiac arrest. We were all pretty worried.”“Okay, I know you were worried. But imagine if Rosemary left the comfort of Paris just to see me. I didn’t die, so her trip would be in vain. Airfare isn’t that cheap... and then, if she sh
Building My Life Chapter 2297 Everaldo’s New Prophecy
Christmas approaches.Mayor Tobias once again released funds to decorate the square as seen in American movies. A huge tree was placed in the exact middle of Ibrahim Square.Retailers are going wild with the massive increase in shoppers trying to fulfill the gift list.A shopkeeper who was already closing his doors called all his salespeople back to help him, as customers started to appear out of nowhere like a swarm of bees.Josias was one of them and was surprised by Joachim tearing up the ‘I’m selling the store’ sign.“Seu Joachim? Why did you have that ‘for sale’ sign?”“It’s nothing, Mr. Rocha!” Joachim disguises, hiding the pieces, “You want something?”Smiling, Josias extends a HUGE list of gifts that he intends to fulfill. The list includes not only his family and friends but all the people who moved to Victoria.Joachim had to call five strong young salesmen to deal with the pile of gifts.“A bicycle, child-size. Wrap it up for Maycon Reis...”“Yes sir...”“A bottle of Chanel
Building My Life Chapter 2298 Daryl and Josias Argue One More Time
At the Rocha Mansion, Josias looked spectacular in black Speedos and sunbathing in the Sunset Village sun. Alan practiced strokes in the pool. Reuben, Pedro, and Henrique were with him, frolicking around.“Go, Alan! So you win the next Olympics!” Reuben screams.“Help Brazil win more medals in 2004!” Pedro laughs.Alan stops his strokes and takes off his swimming goggles, “You nags! Aren’t you satisfied with the Brazilian team having become the five-time champion?”“YES!” All the boys vibrate. They’re lovers of the national sport.Hector appears and smiles as he sees the youth having fun. He has a silver tray in his hand with a cell phone vibrating.“Mr. Rocha, someone is calling you.”Josias smiles slightly, “It must be Everaldo. Time for my blessing.”Josias sits on the deckchair and answers the cell phone, but he gets the creeps when he sees Daryl’s number on the caller ID.“Hello, Daryl? What do you want now?”In Crystal Blue, Daryl is in his office frowning and standing.“Jeez, y
Building My Life Chapter 2299 I’m Sorry
Daryl, still trying something out, made his way to his family at Café Montanha. Diane, Francisco, Isabel, and Rodrigo were listening attentively.“And poor Kelvin thinks that by making love to Melissa more consistently and wildly, he’ll convince her not to leave him.” Daryl narrates his younger brother’s lament, “But that’s not the problem. Melissa doesn’t want to leave Kelvin due to their lack of marital intimacy. Melissa DOESN’T WANT TO LEAVE HIM, that’s the point.”Isabel scratches her forehead, “Daryl, we’ve been hearing this since Melissa left for Victoria. By the way, we thought this was to solve this problem.”“Looks like it just got worse.” Daryl swallows hard, “Looks like the distance only made Josias crave Melissa even more.”“Like Mr. Darcy?” Isabel asks without mocking.“I don’t know.” Daryl leans over the bench and buries his hands in his head.Francisco clears his throat, “Well, I won’t be the one to step in front of Josias and stop him from getting Melissa back. Of cour
Building My Life Chapter 2300 Everaldo Explains the Prophecy
William, not caring about Daryl, butts into the conversation.“None of that, Rodrigo, let’s be pragmatic! Daryl is reaping what he sowed. Why did your cousin get into where he didn’t belong? Why did he fall into Katherine’s trap, spreading the word that Josias was going to dethrone Alan? Why did he get into a fight with Octavio, almost getting barred from Jack and Veronica’s wedding? Why did he enlist Gabriela Alves, an inexperienced journalist, to try to be the next Mrs. Rock when Josias didn’t even know her?”Everaldo listened to all of William’s questions as if he didn’t know about it.The ambulance pulled up and parked on the sidewalk. Paramedics quickly appeared.“Excuse me, guys! Do not crowd on top of the patient, he needs to breathe.”“I hope no one has moved him.”“Just to check the pulses.” Rodrigo admits, “He’s still alive.”“OK, let’s take him.” Paramedics perform the procedure.Rodrigo glares at William, “You never liked Daryl. By the way, you never liked us as a whole! S
Building My Life Chapter 2301 The Long-Awaited Return
2003Mayor Tobias is, along with the people of Sunset Village and more of today's celebrities, opening the Lagoon City Marina. The place promises to be the point for rich people to have and store their sailboats and yachts.Josias, as always, is there, wearing sunglasses, a light T-shirt, and knee-length shorts. Not even Tobias dared to wear a suit. The day was especially hot, and around the inauguration, countless bathers in skimpy clothes accompanied the event.After posing and effusive applause, the Lagoon City Marina was ready to receive the first recreational craft.Josias approaches Tobias, "Do you realize that with each passing year, Lagoon City is looking more and more like Miami?""Thank God for that!" Tobias jokes, "And you know we're growing. With the new residential subdivisions that I approved in the East Zone of the city, we passed 300,000 thousand inhabitants, and I hope to reach the mark of 400,000 when we are in the next decade.Josias nods admirably, "The Exact Scien
Building My Life Chapter 2302 Claimed by Him
The next day, Josias and Melissa woke up cuddling together in the double bed as if they were the old Rocha couple. At least, in Josias’s mind, that certainty was stronger.Melissa looked around Josias’s equally luxurious bedroom and felt like she was in a dream. After years in the penthouse master suite, this suite that looked more like a VIP room in a European hotel took her breath away.“Josias, I must admit that you have good taste,” Melissa comments.Josias smiles, spooning Melissa into his arms, afraid of losing her again, “Say I’m dreaming.”“You aren’t dreaming, Josias.” Melissa looks around and finds some bags from the expensive stores she used to frequent, “Which bags are those?”Josias lets go of Melissa and leans against the headboard, showing off his muscular torso. He smiles, “I needed to get you some new clothes.”Melissa gets still under the covers, “Sorry, Josias. I didn’t even bring a nightgown.”Josias goes back to stroking Melissa’s shoulders, “Hey, calm down... I’m
Building My Life Chapter 2303 Melissa Found Out Everything
Josias and Melissa are now at the dining table, having a sumptuous breakfast. The maids serving breakfast can barely hide their admiration for being in front of the Lady of Lagoon City.“Anything else, ma’am?”“No, thank you.” Melissa thanks them with a charismatic smile.The maids leave.Josias is pleased with what he saw, “They admire you, Melissa. Little do they know that they are serving the mistress and owner of this mansion.”Melissa smiles awkwardly, “Josias...”“No discussion.” Josias takes her right hand, “Yesterday I claimed you. You are mine, Melissa, and I am yours.”Melissa glares at Josias. Is this really happening?Between ricotta cheese and cubed pieces of ham, Melissa decides to tell him what’s going on.“Josias, I need to remind you... Under the law, I’m still married to Kelvin.”“Damascene Lawyers are now available.” Josias states, “I called them while you were upstairs getting dressed.”Melissa smiles slightly, “Thank you, Josias, but is this truly necessary?”“Abs

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,
