Building My Life Chapter 2410 A New Detective?
At Saint Gabriel’s College, Caio and Alan talk in the open courtyard, enjoying their recess.“What’s up, Alan? Have you talked to Sofia this year?”Alan smiles hopefully, “I’ve been chatting with her online. I intend to arrange something with her, maybe some cinema.”“That’s cool, man. Looks like we will have ‘Shrek 2’. Does she like movies like that?” Caio suggests.“I intend to ask her later.” Alan takes his phone and checks for calls.After checking, Alan looks up and notices that Caio is far away, “What happened?”“I wonder if you heard about Sofia’s mother yet.” Caio is gloomy.“Mrs. Vasquez? Has she done anything reprehensible?” Alan is curious.“You can say that again.” Caio nods, “My father is furious because he asked Mrs. Vasquez not to favor Cláudio Guzman, and she did the opposite: she reserved a dressing room for Mr. Guzman, resulting in Rodrigo Mountain staying outside with the inexperienced models.”Alan is outraged, “That’s crazy! Rod is already a famous model, one of t
Building My Life Chapter 2411 Claudio Saw No One
At Saint Gabriel College, the bell rings, ending recess. Several university students run to their classrooms.Caio and Alan remain where they are, looking at each other suspiciously.Alan breaks the awkward silence, “Caio, I can’t believe Sofia purposely supported something like this. She probably didn’t even know about it.“Would she tell you if you asked her?” Caio asks, getting up.Alan also stands up, “Why wouldn’t she tell? Something tells me this was her mother’s ruse. Cláudio Guzman is an attractive guy, no wonder she had a crush on him.”“Married women tend to have a crush on him.” Caio alludes to Katherine.Alan grows somber, “Whoa, Caio, don’t get Kate in the middle. My father won’t like this.”“But it’s the truth!” Caio insists, “This guy is a married woman magnet. Hopefully, he learns his lesson and doesn’t repeat the mistake.”“We better go to our classrooms before the professors forbid us to enter.” Alan tries to smile to break the ice.Both walk away and go to their cla
Building My Life Chapter 2412 Using as a Scapegoat
In Daryl’s office, he finds it somewhat impossible that Rodrigo accepts without much resistance that Claudio owned a dressing room and he didn’t.Daryl decides to question this, “I don’t believe you. Are you really going to try to convince me that you didn’t fight for your right to have a dressing room like the renowned model that you are? Where was Mrs. Vasquez at this crucial hour?”“I don’t know. I didn’t look for her!” Rodrigo asserts.“So you let your rival triumph.” Daryl shakes his head and steps out from behind the desk.Rodrigo smiles wryly, “You talk as if you care about my career. What you want is to see the circus burn. You expected me to make a bigger scandal so that people would remember me later and point to me as the shooter!”Daryl waves his hands in frantic gestures, “No, Rod, I didn’t want that!”“The fact remains that you shot Josias. Pictures don’t lie.” Rodrigo boldly asserts.“Those Thierry Lafayette’s photos prove I was there, not that I shot him!” Daryl veheme
Building My Life Chapter 2413 Melissa and Claudio Are Reunited
Cláudio was released from the hospital and is now excited in his apartment, cleaning. Because of not tidying up his place for so long, the floor got dusty, as well as the furniture.Someone rings the bell. Cláudio goes to answer it and is surprised by Melissa on the other end.“Mrs. Rocha? What are you doing here?”“I heard you were discharged and I came to see you,” Melissa responds with a gentle smile.Cláudio is embarrassed for being sweaty and shirtless, “Sorry, I'm doing a heavy cleaning in my corner. I think you better not come in.”“Nonsense.” Melissa walks in anyway, “I didn't come to notice the mess. I want to know how you are, and if Josias and I can help with anything.”Cláudio's radio was playing “Yeah!”, by Usher, and he decided to turn the volume down so as not to disturb the illustrious visitor.“Do you want to help me?” Claudio takes advantage of the topic raised."Yes." Melissa nods, standing in the middle of the living room, “You're going to need someone to help you
Building My Life Chapter 2414 Unwanted Letter
Cláudio and Melissa continue to talk. Cláudio finishes sweeping and collecting the dust with the dustpan.“How do you intend to help me, Mrs. Rocha?”“Using your talent, Claudio,” Melissa smiles slyly.Claudio gets interested, “I’m listening.”“From what I understand, part of the confusion was when my brother Will got into a row with Olivia Vasquez by mentioning you, and she, in a tantrum, set aside a dressing room for you.”Claudio narrows his eyes, "Ah, so that's how I got a dressing room while Rod Mountain was sucking his thumb."“Well, the rumor is that you got the dressing room by sleeping with Olivia,” Melissa comments.Claudio smirks, “I understand what you mean by ‘my talent’. But Mrs. Rocha, I didn't sleep with Olivia Vasquez.”“Haven't slept with her... yet. But you WILL sleep.”Cláudio doesn't seem scandalized at all, “Really? And how are we sure she'll fall for my charm?"“I felt it when she wanted to knock me out with an aluminum clipboard. That must hurt someone's head.”
Building My Life Chapter 2415 Talent in Execution
Melissa goes to Rocha Constructions. Secretary Pollyanna attends with courtesy.“Good morning, Mrs. Rocha.”“I’m not formally married to Josias yet, but you all call me 'Mrs. Rocha'." Melissa comments graciously.“It's just that we don't want to displease our boss. If Tiago Bento were among us...”Melissa giggles, “OK, make yourselves comfortable. Is Josias in his office?”“Ma'am, Mr. Rocha went to deal with an urgent matter in the Teodoro Building.”Melissa ponders for a few seconds, “It must be something related to Flávia. The poor thing wants to work at the orphanage without having managed to get over Uélton's death 100%. I hope she makes some progress.”Lorraine approaches the desk, "Pollyanna, is Josias—"Melissa turns to Lorraine who widens her eyes and chokes on her words.Lorraine feels she will have her tongue cut out for mentioning Josias by his first name in front of the Lady of Lagoon City.Pollyanna senses the tense atmosphere and says, “MR. ROCHA is not yet at the compan

Melissa is having a drink in Josias's office. The door opens and Melissa smiles."Hello, my dear. I was waiting for—”Melissa turns around, but her smile crumbles like a sandcastle.Lorraine was staring back at her.“Mrs. Rocha, we need to talk.”"Do we need?" Melissa mixes another drink with ice, “Would you like a whiskey?”“I don't want to drink on duty. Josias wouldn’t like it.” Lorraine speaks in a dangerous tone.Melissa has her eyes on the drink mix, “It's so funny how everyone uses the title except you. Whoever listens to you will think you’re someone close to the family.”“I ain’t someone close to the family.” Lorraine leans in closer, “But I want you to know that I have no reservations with Josias. And he never cared.”“Of course not, Josias is always kind and gentlemanly with women,” Melissa smirks, but Lorraine thinks Melissa is smiling in camaraderie.“So you weren't upset?” Lorraine smiles in relief, “Good. The last thing I want is to cause discord in the relationship bet

Josias goes to his office and first meets Pollyanna.“Hello, Pollyanna. Something happened?”“Sir, Mrs. Rocha is waiting for you in your office. I can already tell you that things are bad.”“Oh, damn, what happened this time?” Josias sighs impatiently.“She had a mini confrontation with Lorraine.” Pollyanna is vexed.“And why would the two of them have to clash?” Josias shrugs.“Sir, the custom of Mrs. Moraes calling you by your first name made your wife jealous. She loves you, you know that.”“Yes, I know.” Josias smiles from the corner of his mouth.He nods to the secretary and heads to his office.Melissa is waiting for him, sitting on the sofa, her glass of whiskey on the rocks in her hands, empty.“Good morning, my love! Shall we have lunch at Crystal Blue?” Josias greets her, placing the briefcase on the desk.“I’d rather go to your hotel restaurant, where Ben is killing it as a cook.” Melissa looks at the glass.Josias stands in front of her, “Pollyanna told me. And if you want

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,
