Building My Life Chapter 2309 Melissa States Her Terms
At Rocha Mansion, Daryl is waiting in the main living room, sitting on the couch because of his foot. He has a mysterious smile, thinking that he will convince Melissa to return to her husband.Daryl can barely hide his surprise when he sees Simeon enter the living room instead of Melissa.He’s torn between sitting still or getting up and running, “Ehr... Mr. Campos? I was hoping to speak with Melissa.”“What the hell, what right do you have to talk to my daughter?” Simeon blusters, “GET OUT of here, before Josias returns and starts the ethical cleanup here!”“What are you talking about?” Daryl is startled.“Do you want to bring about the extinction of the Mountain family here?” Simeon asks with his arms crossed.“No, and I doubt he could pull off such a feat without drawing the attention of the authorities,” Daryl responds confidently.“No one will miss you if Josias buries you alive in the beach sand.” Simeon asserts, “Now get out of here because you won’t talk to my daughter. How d
Building My Life Chapter 2310 The Twins Came Back
Days later, Francisco and Isabel returned to Lagoon City.At Café Montanha, Rodrigo and Nadia were making out on the counter when he received a call on his cell phone.“Wait, honey, I need to get it.” Rodrigo walks away.While Nadia waits, Cláudio enters the cafeteria and smiles maliciously when he sees her back.“I would recognize you from anywhere.” Claudio jokes.Nadia is startled and turns to him, “How would you recognize me from the back? Have you been memorizing the details of my butt?”Cláudio was about to confirm it rudely, but Rodrigo approached them again.“Nadia, I... Argh, what are you doing here?”“Aren’t you going to sell me a cappuccino?” Claudio asks ironically.“I don’t feel like it, but who am I to suppress the free trade law?” Rodrigo turns to Nadia, “My father and Isabel have arrived and need a ride.”Reuben appears in the cafeteria, “Rod, Grandma said to me hold the fort while you get her.”“Yes, Imma going there.” He smiles at Nadia, “The twins came.”Nadia isn’t
Building My Life Chapter 2311 Josias Gives One More Chance
In the Teodoro Building, Tiago appeared to say goodbye to the Reis family. Beto reacted with surprise when he discovered that another dear friend was leaving.“God, everyone is leaving Lagoon City!” He jokes, “Why doesn’t anyone else want to stay here?”“The city got boring.” Pedro jokes, causing the others to laugh.Tiago explains, “James was run over and Carmen is desperate, alone in the capital. I need to be there with them. I need to be with my family.”Wallace narrows his eyes, “Tiago, Carmen moved to Victoria because of the war between Josias and Daryl that ended up not happening. From what’s been rumored around, it looks like things are going to heat up between them again. Is this when you intend to leave?”Tiago nods, “Josias assured me he would be fine. But to be on the safe side, I’ll keep a few ‘boys’ to keep an eye on my master. And you won’t be helpless either.”Teresa and Vera look at each other, always feeling something creepy when Tiago talks about these ‘boys’.“Okay,
Building My Life Chapter 2312 Who Was the Anonymous Sender?
In Daryl’s office at Crystal Blue, Daryl is taken aback by Josias’s proposal.“Are you serious, Josias? First, you symbolically kidnap my sister-in-law, and after my brother has suffered hell, you decide to ‘give her back’, but not without demanding something first?”Josias stares at Daryl seriously, “I didn’t kidnap Melissa. She showed up at my mansion of her own free will. And another thing, Daryl: you know this Victoria franchise was a mistake. I don’t know all the details, but I do know that Kelvin and Melissa’s marriage has been affected. Kelvin wasn’t prepared to take over a restaurant all to himself. He neglected Caroline, and would likely neglect the twins when they need a father figure at the time. So if Kelvin goes back to Lagoon City, goes back to his old job, and goes back to being the kind guy I knew... Then I would be willing to let Melissa go back to him if she wants to.”Daryl faces Josias with the precision of a surgeon. He is surprised, “You are quite serious...”“Ye
Building My Life Chapter 2313 Thierry’s “Hobby”
The next day, Thierry was walking around Ibrahim Square, watching the activity of citizens getting off the buses and heading to their respective jobs, spreading out like a swarm of ants.This urban look was captured through the lens of his Nikon Coolpix 3100 camera.Thierry smiled at the expected result and headed for a shop where he was developing photos.Afterward, he left with an envelope of other photographs he had delivered. Upon checking the contents, he could hardly believe that he could have captured such precise moments perfectly.One of the photos was precisely of Happiness Slum. Thierry chose a spot in the favela, and with the right angle and lighting, he managed to capture the moment and make people think of Happiness Slum as an ordinary, bucolic place.He knew that people managed to win even prizes for photographing inhospitable places and transmitting beauty and art to those who saw it. Who knows, Thierry wouldn’t have the same luck?Thierry headed to Quantium Studios, t
Building My Life Chapter 2314 We Found Out Our Guy
Thierry is checking the photos he took inside Café Montanha. The shop is set to the song “Jenny from the Block”, by the aforementioned Jennifer Lopez.Reuben walks over to Thierry to pour him a cup of coffee from the coffee pot and spies a photo of Sunset Village’s beach skyline at sunset.“WOW! What a beautiful photo, man! Are you going to publish it in a poetry book?”Thierry is startled and turns to the smiling and clueless teenager, “Hmm... No, nobody will pay for this photo.”“You could enlarge it and sell it framed in as a huge painting!” Reuben gives ideas, “I bet you could make some good money with them. Do you have talent...?”Thierry smiles, “Thierry Lafayette.”“Oh, you’re from the supermarket.” Reuben recognizes the name and speaks quietly, “Were you the fake beggar who wanted to violate Rosemary?”Thierry keeps smiling, understanding that Reuben doesn’t do this out of malice, “I fell head over heels in love with her, and she also with me, but unfortunately, we didn’t work
Building My Life Chapter 2315 Melissa Had Nightmares
At the Lafayette mansion, Ingrid fearfully enters Thierry’s bedroom. At least, she is reassured by the fact that the place is clean and orderly. Thierry had never again forbidden the maids to sweep, dust, and wash clothes grimy with pee and marijuana. And Thierry kept his hair trimmed and styled, and shaved.Still, his serious expression in front of the computer and Evanescence’s song “Bring Me To Life” blasting through the speakers intimidated her. Would it be a good time to talk to the son...?“Sonny?” Ingrid clears her throat unnecessarily and takes a chance.“Yes, Mom?” Thierry responds, still staring at the computer.“Do you have a minute? I need to ask you something.”Ingrid plucks up courage and enters the room. Then she sees what her son does.Thierry was applying color and lighting edits, making a panoramic photograph of Lagoon City’s urban scenery even more perfect and pleasing to the eye.“THIERRY! What are you doing? This... this photo is just mar-ve-lous!” Ingrid is fille
Building My Life Chapter 2316 Caio and His Shares
Moments later, Daryl returns to Crystal Blue covered in sand. William tells Tiago’s ‘boys’ to dispose of Daryl like garbage at the back of the restaurant, near the container where Felipe usually looks for something disgusting to eat.“OUCH!” Daryl exclaims in pain.After they leave, Patrick gets out of the restaurant with garbage bags containing leftover food. He is startled to find Daryl on the ground.“Boss! Mr. Mountain, what happened?”“I was temporarily kidnapped, that’s what happened!” Daryl tries to get up.Patrick enters the restaurant. Seconds later, he returns with Felipe and another burly cook.“FATHER! What happened? You went out to pay some bills and came back like this! Mom was worried!”“No! Don’t tell your mother. You guys better take me to the penthouse. Pietro, can you drive?”“Yes, Mr. Mountain.” The burly cook answered.“Then come on, take me to my car. Son, don’t worry.”“No, I’ll go with you, Dad. Pat will come up with something to justify my absence.”Patrick is

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,
