At Rocha Mansion, Melissa meets with Elza and Dora in her private office.“Good morning, ladies!” Melissa closes the door.“Good morning, Melissa.” Elza has a catalog in hand.Melissa views the catalog, “May I know what this is, mother-in-law?”“Yes. It’s for you to properly call me mother-in-law in the future.” Elza hands Melissa the catalog.As she reads it, Melissa catches her breath.“Elza... It’s the new Happy Bride catalog!”Dora sits on the same sofa as Melissa, next to her, “Daughter, look at these beautiful and modern models... But the price...”Melissa giggles, “We can’t get too baffled about the price, Mom. Josias will pay for everything with a big smile. The important thing is that we’re finally free to formalize our union.”Dora chirps, “I thought this day would never come! I’m glad I’m alive to witness my daughter reuniting with the true love of her life for the second time!”Melissa puts the catalog on her lap and begins to meditate on the twists and turns of her life,
Building My Life Chapter 2422 Time to Open the Game
Josias is walking through the corridors of Rocha Constructions with Octavio, discussing the news.“Is it serious?” Octavio frowns, “Did Daryl try to snatch Ben from your restaurant to his? Can’t he win by his own means?”“I think his restaurant is down in popularity.” Josias smirks, “People aren’t enjoying seeing him be my enemy.”“Josias, how long will you endure this unreasonable persecution?” Octavio asks in exasperation.“Until he raises the banner of peace,” Josias calmly answers, “He started it, so he’ll stop it.”“But this is absurd. So far he has only been defeated. And now, there’s still a chance he’ll be arrested for trying to kill you.” Octavio sighs.“Didn’t Jane tell you about this?” Josias raises an eyebrow.“No, she probably wanted to spare me.” Octavio scratches the back of his head.Reuben approaches Josias, panting from the rush, “Uncle Josias, thank God!”“What is it, Reuben, why are you panting like that?” Josias holds Reuben by his shoulders, “Did something happen
Building My Life Chapter 2423 The Next Mrs. Rocha?
Josias and Francisco continue to talk about the letter.“Francisco, first of all, I don’t want you to be mad at Reuben.”“Reuben?” Francisco squints.“That’s right.” Josias gestures, “He was just trying to help.”“How Reuben wrote a letter to Shirley—” Francisco choked on the words, widening his eyes as if to say ‘I get it,’ “...He took the previous letter I threw in the trash.”“He read the first letter and was outraged by Shirley’s boldness.” Josias tries to smooth over the situation, “So he reached out to me, and I suggested he impersonate you, replying to the letter to ask Shirley not to come here.”“And now, she’s suspicious of the letter’s legitimacy and wants to come back to town to see me!” Francisco complains, “This is absurd, Josias! You two should have left the matter alone!”Josias crosses his arms, “Did you read the previous letter, Francisco?”“No, I crumpled it up into a ball of paper and threw it in the trash!”“That was your mistake.” Josias snaps his fingers, “You di

Elza meets Vernon in his office. She has a notepad in her hands.“Hello, dear. Shall we have lunch together?” Vernon greets her while looking at something on his computer.“Only if we go to our hotel restaurant. Jane is raving about the dishes Benjamin cooks. It doesn’t matter what season he stays in: starters, meats, pasta, desserts... He rocks.”“And what are you waiting for to promote our child prodigy?” Vernon asks with a smirk.“I’m waiting for the current chef to retire.” Elza sat down in a chair that was lying around, “In the meantime, I am taking care of our son’s wedding ceremony.”“Melissa is in the kitchen talking to João Paulo,” Vernon informs her.“Hmm... I can’t imagine why.” Elza looks at the notepad, “I’m confirming the guests. Do you and João Paulo intend to attend? Will there be any last-minute appointments or editorial meetings?”Vernon stands up good-naturedly, “Write our names in there, and include João Paulo as best man. I’m sure Josias will want that.”“OK.

Building My Life Chapter 2425 Josias and Melissa Get Married (1)
The day of Josias and Melissa’s second wedding has arrived.Unlike the wedding with Katherine, Josias and Melissa decided that the ceremony would take place directly in the ballroom.As the number of guests was small, they found that everyone could fit inside.Dora and Elza helped the servants place the seats in two sectors, leaving a space in the middle to serve as an aisle for the bride to pass through. The stage where the band would end up serving as an altar.The guests and Maggiezine staff would walk through the mansion and into the ballroom, marveling at the decor. Flowers were meticulously placed to adorn the space. Extra lamps were positioned on the walls to make the place more illuminated. And the children marveled at the huge table containing the cake and other goodies.Benjamin was in a suit, but he directed the cooks as far as possible. João Paulo appeared, greeting him.“Today you must have fun, my comrade. Trust your team.”“I still need to give one or two directions,” B

In the Mountain Penthouse, Daryl shakes his head after relieving himself of the choking. Felipe still has a lot to learn...“Felipe, allow me to tell you something.” Daryl prepares to blurt out truths that bother Diane, “I understand you have a good heart. I understand that you want to do good without looking at who. But I think it’s time you understood a few things.”“Daryl, no...” Diane asks.“What is it, father?” Felipe gets serious.“You might have noticed by now that Josias and I don’t get along. And that’s been years ago. I tried to be his friend, helping him against his late wife who was never right for him. And he repaid it by believing the slander of his friends, hating me.”“Honey, it’s not like that—” Diane tries to retort.“Darling, let me open our son’s eyes.” Daryl stares at her sternly, “He can’t go on believing there will ever be peace between the Rocha and Mountain families.”“Why not?” Felipe does not accept it and gets up, “I have nothing against Mr. Rocha, against

Cláudio Guzman is received with applause as soon as most of the guests see him enter the ballroom.Olivia, unaware of how obvious she is, approaches him, being the one who says the loudest, “Congratulations, CONGRATULATIONS! Claudio, we are very happy that you made it. May God bless you and give you many years of life to come to crush your enemies!”“How can you include ‘God’ in a bloodthirsty sentence like that, Mrs. Vasquez?” Claudio asks jokingly, making the others laugh.Erasmo drapes his arm around Olivia’s back, “Forgive my wife, Mr. Guzman. Come on, the champagne is delicious.”“Thank you, Mr. Guzman. You know, I’d like to chat...”The gentlemen walk away, leaving Olivia behind.Dora approaches her, “Olivia, are you a fan of Mr. Guzman? My daughter told me about the mess with the dressing rooms.”Olivia wakes up from the immoral daydreams she was having with Claudio and turns to Dora, trying not to offend her, “Did your daughter also say that this was all her brother’s fault?”

When Octavio, Jane, and Augusto show up at Rocha Mansion, they run into someone different.“We’re late!” Octavio complains, “We’re later than the bride.”“Honey, Augusto wasn’t to blame if he got sick while we were getting ready,” Jane explains to him.Augusto still looks green, wearing his suit.Octavio takes his son in his arms, “OK, champ. I know you ate something that didn’t make you feel good. I think you better have just one slice of cake, OK?”Augusto smiles. The cake is always what children most want to eat at a wedding.With that in mind, they enter the foyer and find a young man in a gray suit, seemingly lost.“Can we help you?” Octavio asks.“Hi, I’m Felipe Mountain.” Felipe identifies himself with a charismatic smile, “Where is the ballroom?”Octavio and Jane are stunned.“Who invited you, kid?” Octavio is quick to be rude.“Nobody, but I thought—”“You thought wrong!” Octavio growls, “Get out of here! Josias will hate it if you show up uninvited. The ceremony is for frien

Chapter 3330 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,
Chapter 3228 Sarah Shouldn’t Have Let Her In
At the General Hospital, Diane was causing a scene in the hallway while Felipe was being treated in one of the rooms. “What is happening? Someone please give me answers!!” Matthew approached the desperate woman. “Mrs. Mountain, we ask for your calm. Your son is not in life-threatening condition.” “He should never have been in this situation to begin with!” Diane shouted. Eugenio approached. “Mrs. Mountain, we’re very sorry. I tried to call Suzy, but she is at an appointment with Cardozo Perfumes.” “Why is she at my brother-in-law’s company? More investments?” Diane was taken aback. “Perhaps,” Eugenio narrowed his eyes. “She didn’t tell me exactly what she intended to do.” “Oh, this situation is killing me. Doctor, how is he?” “He is sleeping under the effect of sedatives. We are waiting for a room to become available to conduct some tests to understand why he isn’t waking up,” Matthew informed her. “Well, if my boy isn’t going to wake up for now, I need to reach my husband.
Chapter 3227 Business First, Boyfriend Later
At the Rocha Hotel, Luís couldn’t stand being called “Spanish Stallion” for the umpteenth time and gave Felipe the biggest beating he had ever received in his life. However, Eugenio was not in favor of violence and quickly called using his desk phone. “Security, there’s a fight happening in my office!” Eugenio’s euphoric voice jolted Luís out of his trance. When he came to, Felipe was unconscious, with a bleeding nose and cuts on his face. “LUÍS, look what you’ve done!” Eugenio panicked. “How am I going to defend you from this?” “I couldn’t control myself, Eugenio! You know how much I hate that nickname!” Luís shouted passionately. “It doesn’t matter! If you can’t keep your self-control, you’re going to get into serious trouble like right now!” Eugenio pushed Luís away from Felipe as he spoke. He knelt down and checked Felipe’s vital signs by holding his wrist. “At least he’s STILL alive,” Eugenio said sarcastically. The security team arrived in record time. “Here we are, ma
Chapter 3226 The Nickname as a Trigger
At Crystal Blue, the restaurant was still closed, but Suzy was there at the bar, having a drink in celebration. Diane was the one who prepared two shots, both toasting. “A toast to success and personal fulfillment, my future daughter-in-law!” They both drank. Suzy took a deep breath. “What a relief! It’s so good to be victorious!” “It really is a wonderful feeling.” Diane nodded. “Now, do you think the annoying people will finally leave you alone?” “No, of course not! It seems the war is going to intensify even more.” Suzy replied excitedly. “And you are confident that you can fight, win?” “Of course! I have the truth on my side.” Suzy took another sip. “It all started with Sofia discussing salary increases in front of the employees.” “I feel like she did that on purpose, huh?” Diane raised her eyebrows suspiciously. “Yes, I see it that way, too, after thinking it through. What a coincidence that Sofia heated up the discussion just as I showed up warning against making too ma
Chapter 3225 Counterattack Effect
In the next issue of ‘Maggiezine,’ Suzy Cogo was the big sensation, gracing the cover with a smiling, confident photo, hands on her hips, and a stance that suggested she was ready for battle. The article attracted the attention of thousands, with sales and online access tripling in spreadsheets and counters sales. Whereas Suzy had previously reacted with fury and rage, now she danced in the kitchen without knocking over the table or breakfast. Jake improvised dance steps with his sister while Eugenio read the article with exaggerated pride. “‘Therefore, it was never my intention to imply that I don’t care about my employees’ salaries. I support administrative discussions to check if Vaztrans has the appropriate funds to fulfill our promises.’ Wow, niece, with that one sentence, you dismantled the whole narrative!” “Didn’t I tell you, uncle? The journalist was very competent.” Jake remarked, “He used his fingers to do good, unlike that other guy.” Eugenio closed the magazine and
Chapter 3224 João Paulo Promised to Be Different
Melissa appeared in João Paulo’s office. The journalist and brother-in-law was surprised by her visit.“Melissa! Hello, so good to see you!”“João Paulo, we need to talk urgently.” Melissa closed the door.“I see.” João Paulo’s smile faded. “Josias sent you to scold me.”“Believe me, Josias is trying his best not to come here and give you a few slaps.” Melissa approached his desk.“Why would he bother? I’m fine.” João Paulo placed his hands behind his neck.“No, you’re reigniting a war that you won’t be able to handle.” Melissa warned him lovingly. “Josias won’t protect you if Suzy Cogo asks for compensation again.”“That girl wants to get rich at my expense?” João Paulo scoffed.“No. You’re the one giving her the chance. Stop these articles, João Paulo, and she will leave you alone.”João Paulo grew more serious. “She and her boyfriend came here, insulted me, I was slapped, and insulted my wife. With my father’s death, I couldn’t take my revenge.”“But you’re back, with the chance to
Chapter 3223 Henrique Is Eighteen Years Old
Suzy talks to Maggie about the article she wants to write for Maggiezine.Alone in her office, Suzy took the opportunity to express her opinion, “Maggie, you should be congratulated for Henrique.”“What’s up with my baby?” Maggie raised her eyebrows.“BABY?” Suzy laughed heartily. “Come on, girl! Your son is all grown up, sporting a beard! Your husband said that while I watched him serve coffee to me. Is he going to inherit Marçal Publishing Company?”Maggie smiled like every proud mother. “Yes, he is. And you’re right. No matter how much I still see my son as a baby, he’s eighteen now, reaching legal age. We have many plans for him...”Suzy was surprised. Henrique is already eighteen?“Well, let’s get to the main topic.” Suzy shook her head. “Can you save a page where I can tell some truths to that crowd that hates me?”Maggie smiled mischievously. “I might even give you a cover article, my dear!”“I would appreciate that opportunity. We’re at war, Maggie. I need to clear my name.” S
Chapter 3222 What Motivated Luís
Josias and William entered the latter’s office, while the former huffed and held back from punching someone. “Hey, hey, hey...” William closed the door before Josias decided to leave. “Don’t be mad about what Daryl said.” “I think I’m more outraged by the fact that he called João Paulo ‘half-brother.’” Josias clenched his fists and took a deep breath. “You know I hate that term, William!” “Yes, since the ‘80s.” William chuckled. “We’ve been on this life road for a long time, huh?” Josias calmed down and smiled slightly. “That’s true... you were a teenager, fifteen years old, now you’re forty-seven.” “And my son is married; soon I’ll have grandkids to spoil.” William sighed. “Josias, I don’t think I’ve ever thanked you enough for that.” “Thank me?” Josias gestured modestly, dismissing the idea. “Don’t be like that!” William insisted. “If it weren’t for you taking care of Caio, can you imagine what he would be today? Maybe he’d be in jail for getting involved with organized crime
