Building My Life Chapter 2462 Knowing Better
Teresa notices that Beto is grimacing in pain.“Honey, is your heart hurting again? Do you want some medicine? Do you want to go to the doctor?”Before, Teresa would ask these questions in a desperate tone, but as she now knows her husband’s condition, she is speaking as if she were a mother coaxing her son.Beto takes a deep breath and relieves himself, “It was just a scare, dear. But indeed, it’s almost time to take another pill. I think all this emotion of my little sister leaving...”“Yes, we need to take it slow. She asked me to let you know if anything happens.”Beto smiles, “She’s probably still unpacking and unboxing things in her new house. Let’s let her get settled in first.”Teresa smiles at him, calmer. She goes to the counter drawer and takes out the pill pack, “So, shall we buy the computer?”“Yes, let’s go, I want to leave things more modern for when Pedro takes over the building.” Beto takes the card, nodding.******At the Mountain Penthouse, Daryl enters Felipe’s roo
Building My Life Chapter 2463 Vomiting Contempt
At Rocha Constructions, Josias comments about Rosemary not being Beto’s daughter as if he knew the truth, but he still doesn’t. Still, the mere mention made William momentarily tense.“Really? Jeremiah wasn’t that annoying guy who stalked you and worked at the auto repair shop with my Dad?”“Yes, the rapist who was lynched.” Josias hides that it was Tiago’s ‘boys’ who did it, “But Beto assumed paternity just in time to avoid Wallace trying again with Pamela. It even seems like it was scripted.”William decides to change the subject before he can’t take it anymore and confesses everything, “So, Josias, I came here to talk about another subject. If you’re not interested, you can dismiss me.”Josias takes a sip of the brandy and smiles. When has he NOT been interested in helping his protegés?“Tell me, Will.”“It’s about the articles your brother is doing. I could very well leave you in the dark and repeat one of my wars. But this time, I want to do something different. Did you read the
Building My Life Chapter 2464 Maybe We Should Speak the Truth
At Crystal Blue, Diane sees Daryl about to strangle Patrick. She decides to act.“Pat, I know the chat is good, but we need to work. And you, please, don’t say that nonsense as if I don’t care. I’m Felipe’s adoptive mother and I don’t want him to leave the restaurant.”“OK, I’m just making it clear that my anger isn’t with you or Mr. Mountain. It’s not your fault if you adopted a crazy person who thinks he was mistreated by me somewhere in the past. Excuse me.”Patrick retreats and sees Daryl behind him. But instead of feeling intimidated, he smiles cheekily.Daryl approaches the bar, “Honey, you should have broken one of the glasses over the idiot’s head!”“How could I do such a thing?” Diane gasps, “I’m thankful you didn’t use the gun.”“Thanks to Sergeant Moraes, I had my revolver confiscated and I probably won’t get another weapon even if I bought it on the black market.” Daryl grumbles, “But why does Patrick insist on hating our son like that?”Diane takes a deep breath, tired of
Building My Life Chapter 2465 Exaggerated Journalism
João Paulo appears at Rocha Constructions and goes to his older brother’s office.“Hi, bro! Where’s Pollyanna?” João Paulo tries to be friendly, but inside, he is aloof, aware of what Josias wants to talk about.“Pollyanna and Ritchie have been transferred to Belo Horizonte. They’re getting married and I facilitated their union. Reuben will be my replacement.” Josias announces dryly.João Paulo swallows hard. There is a faint stain on his neck, “Anyway, our mother said you wanted to talk to me.”“I’m not even going to touch on the subject of Will Campos for now.” Josias begins to speak coldly, “Let’s talk about you being taken to the hospital, almost dead from strangulation.”João Paulo sits on the couch, “I understand you’re upset, bro.”“You understand I’m INDEED upset, but you don’t understand WHY?” Josias questions him, “Well, I’ll answer you. There was a time when you despised our father because he was behaving the same way you are now.”João Paulo swallows hard, “Josias, I assur
Building My Life Chapter 2466 My Conclusions
At the Lafayette Supermarket, Nadia is offended and outraged by what Shirley is implying. Rodrigo also gets up to see if his girlfriend needs protection.Shirley continues with the posture of someone who is having fun, “Why do you have that look on your face and that alert pose? You seemed to be at ease, dating... in a place of work, I must point out, but hey! Who am I to say something—”“You’re absolutely right!” Nadia explodes, “You have no right to say ANYTHING!”Shirley, as always, lashes out and feels entitled to be offended, “I’m sorry, young lady, but what have I done to you to deserve so much hate?”Nadia rolls her eyes, “Mrs. Mountain, maybe you don’t know, but I’m dating your nephew. That obviously means I know who you are and why you weren’t here when I moved to the city in 2000.”“Well, I left town in 1997 after—” She looks at Rodrigo and smiles, “Nephew, you didn’t tell her, did you?”“I told her everything, aunt.” Rodrigo responds with a dark face, “And you’re not right
Building My Life Chapter 2467 I Will Be True
At Rocha Constructions, João Paulo doesn’t know if he willingly accepts Josias’s advice.“Bro, there’s no way you’re willing to believe Sofia Vasquez’s lies.”Josias narrows his eyes, “And how do you know Sofia is lying?”“She’s like that, gentle and sheepish, but when she wants to, she turns into a voracious wolf!” João Paulo complains, “She already went to the LCN premises to complain about my articles and slapped me! She also disrespected our father. That’s why I didn’t buy her performance at the dinner we had. That docile, submissive wife was pure acting!”Josias ponders the information that is given, “Do you think she slapped you gratuitously, or are there reasons, little brother?”“There are never reasons for aggression. Wow, Josias, I thought you knew that!”Josias shakes his head, “João Paulo, what I want with this conversation is to make you aware of the danger you’re running by aiming your rifle only at Vaztrans. Don’t deny it: You turned this series of articles into an act
Building My Life Chapter 2468 Let’s Continue Observing
Josias arrives at Rocha Mansion and is surprised to find Caroline waiting for him in the foyer.“Dad, let’s talk in my room, please?” Caroline had a desperate expression.Josias feels his heart bleed. Who did this to his little princess?“Let’s go immediately!” Josias goes ahead, and it’s Caroline who has to follow him at a large pace.Inside her room, Caroline closes the door.“What do you want to talk about, honey?”“You have a lot of commitments with the company and I know I shouldn’t dump any more drama on your head.” Caroline begins, “But there’s something that interests you, Dad. The family, to be honest.”“I’m listening.” Josias sits on her bed.“Today, Alan called Sofia and said that I would meet her at Café Montanha. Then he came to tell me, at the last minute, as if he didn’t want to give me time to refuse.”Josias narrows his eyes. What is this, Alan?“Go on.”“I went, and Mom decided to go with me. We talked to Sofia and she seemed polite and civil. There was everything we
Building My Life Chapter 2469 Celebration at Marçal Publishing
As Josias advised, the members of his family who opposed the Vasquez family decided to take a break to see if they could get their act together.But the result was negative.João Paulo deliberately let emails accumulate from readers complaining about rusty Vaztrans buses. He continued his column by highlighting other important issues taking place around the city, such as Josias’s charity fashion show.The event took place normally, with no switching dressing rooms or models being shot on the catwalk live on TV. Surveillance was doubled and men stood in line in their underwear to be searched. The men who liked freeballing were extremely embarrassed in front of the policemen.Cláudio asked to model in the black & tie collection, perhaps thinking about not stealing the spotlight this time. But it was impossible: the simple fact that the model appeared parading in a tuxedo was enough for the women to go into an uproar.“AHHHHH! How handsome!”“I want him for myself NOW!”“Friend, you’re m

Luís stepped into the Vaztrans Mansion, taking in the surroundings with a sense of nostalgia. He glanced around, a faint smile on his lips as he took in the familiar space. Engrácia passed behind him, carrying his luggage up to his old suite. Alan and Sofia stood nearby, watching him settle in.“I need to get back to the company as soon as possible,” Alan said, turning to Sofia. “Can you help him get settled in?”“Of course, darling,” Sofia replied before addressing Luís. “So, cousin? Feeling nostalgic?”Luís sank onto the couch with a mysterious smile. “Did you guys change the decor again?”Sofia nodded. “I had some input this time.”“I see. Aunt Olivia does have extravagant tastes, doesn’t she?” he teased.Sofia flushed slightly, a bit uncomfortable. “You have no idea how happy I am to have you back, cousin.”“I doubt everyone is as thrilled. I can think of at least two people who aren’t.” His tone was light, but the implication was clear.Alan and Sofia exchanged uneasy glances. “M
Chapter 3158 Don’t Be Too Obvious
At Café Montanha that afternoon, the atmosphere grew tense as Neilton, Rodrigo, and Nadia found themselves momentarily flustered by Brendon’s introduction. Brendon, however, remained standing with his hand extended, his expression puzzled.“Uh... did I say something wrong?” he asked.Neilton hesitated before replying. “Uh, sorry, Mr. Souza. But your cousin just left here making a huge scene.”Out of politeness, he finally shook Brendon’s hand.“Typical of him, right?” Brendon said with a yellow smile. “I hope to be a contrast to that.”Rodrigo, ever the curious host, inquired, “Are you new in town? Where are you from?”“Rio de Janeiro,” Brendon replied. “I’ll be representing my aunt at Angel Stores.”Nadia narrowed her eyes slightly, studying him. He didn’t seem to share David’s unpleasant nature.“Is your father Angela’s brother?” she asked.“No,” Brendon said, shaking his head. “My father passed away. In business, I use my mother’s surname. But of course, when I get married, I’ll us
Chapter 3157 New Kid in Town
Erasmo, Olivia, and Sofia stood anxiously in Erasmo’s office at Vaztrans, their anticipation filling the room. Olivia clutched a coffee cup — certainly not her first of the day. Sofia eyed her mother with concern, her brows furrowed.“Mom, do you want to have another nervous breakdown?” she asked with worry.Olivia exhaled sharply. “I’m just trying to calm down, sweetheart.”Erasmo chuckled. “No, woman. Coffee will just make you more jittery than you already are.”Olivia suddenly froze, staring at the cup in her hands as if seeing it for the first time. “No! I thought I was drinking chamomile tea!”Erasmo burst into laughter as Olivia rushed to pour herself a cup of actual chamomile tea.Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed down the hall. Sofia perked up, instantly recognizing her husband’s steady, confident stride.The office door swung open, and Alan entered with a triumphant smile.“Son-in-law! What great news do you have for us?” Erasmo asked eagerly.Alan’s grin widened. “THI

Melissa and Brigitte sat in the office at Damascene Lawyers, but this wasn’t a friendly chat. Tension filled the air as Melissa got straight to the point.“Melissa, what are you saying?” Brigitte asked, already wary.“I’m saying you need to help me with this delicate matter,” Melissa replied firmly.Brigitte looked shocked. “Why?”“Because I don’t like scheming against family members,” Melissa said, crossing her arms. “And you are part of the family. You know Leo Borges well, right?”Brigitte shifted uncomfortably in her chair. “Yes, I know Attorney Borges.”Melissa smirked, catching the deliberate formality in Brigitte’s words. “Well, since he’s not available, could you please ask him to let J.J. work peacefully at Vasconcelos Fabrics?”Brigitte hesitated. “But that’s his brother’s business!”“I’m sure you can help us,” Melissa insisted, her gaze unwavering.Brigitte sighed. “Melissa, you’re putting me in a tight spot!”Melissa leaned in slightly. “Do you know why Josias bought share
Chapter 3155 Melissa Slays at Damascene Lawyers
At Rocha Constructions, in Alan’s office, Luís listened attentively as Alan recounted the latest gossip.“You should have seen it!” Alan exclaimed, leaning forward with excitement. “Well, I didn’t see it myself, but Eugenio described it in such vivid detail that it felt like we were there, enjoying my dad giving some well-deserved slaps to that despot.”Luís raised an eyebrow. “He still hasn’t shown up at the hotel?”“Not at all,” Alan confirmed. “But because of that, Chef Teixeira and his girlfriend moved to the Victoria Hotel. And David fired Suzy. She’s working at Crystal Blue now.”“As a waitress?”Alan’s face lit up with pride. “As Felipe Mountain’s accounting assistant.”Luís smiled, genuinely pleased with the news. There was no jealousy, just relief. “Good thing I wasn’t here when that happened. I might have thrown your brother off the hotel myself.”Alan scoffed. “I don’t even consider that guy my ‘half-brother’! I think now my dad will stop demanding—”Before he could finish,

Brigitte was horrified by Caio’s rude question and instinctively threatened to get up.“Sit down, woman!” Caio commanded, still serious.Brigitte froze in place, caught between sitting and standing, uncertain of what to do.Seeing her hesitation, Caio softened. “I take back what I said.”That was all Brigitte needed to hear before settling back down in her chair.“I have to admit,” Caio continued, “the guy came here early in the day, and I got suspicious.”Brigitte arched an eyebrow. “Did you think he wanted to catch me in a sexy nightgown?”“Yes. I need to protect what’s mine.”Brigitte sighed, exasperated. “Caio, why do you feel that way? Leo Borges has never given you any reason to believe he would be interested in me. You can even ask Little Theo — who can no longer be called ‘little.’”Caio relaxed and smiled, thinking of his half-brother. “You mention my brother, and I remember what unites us — my mother.”Brigitte made a face. “Urgh, don’t mention my mother-in-law. I don’t want
Chapter 3153 Not Trusting the Borges Brothers
The master suite of the Rocha Mansion was a scene of quiet preparation. Josias sat on the edge of the bed, slipping on his shoes, while Melissa fastened a pair of earrings in front of the mirror. His voice carried a sharp edge as he spoke.“Do you understand the situation, my dear?”Melissa shook her head, still processing the news. “It’s shocking. The brother of one of the most famous lawyers around here is plotting to remove J.J. from Vasconcelos.”Josias scoffed. “Who do they think they are? I better keep an eye on this. I asked Alan and Caio to do the same, since J.J. is the youngest.”Melissa smirked mischievously, standing up and adjusting her posture as she looked at herself in the mirror. “Didn’t you ask David for help?”Josias finished with his shoes and stood. “David isn’t talking to me.”At that moment, the sharp ring of Josias’s phone cut through the air. He glanced at the screen, his expression shifting to one of surprise.“Looks like we’re playing games now,” he muttered
Chapter 3152 Luís Is Coming Back
The management door of the Rocha Hotel swung open. Suzy appeared, approaching a startled Eugenio, pale and stammering. “Uncle, what happened?” Eugenio covered the phone receiver and stared at his niece. “It s-seems t-that... I’m hearing the voice of Luís Vasquez!” Suzy snatched the receiver and immediately spoke, “LUÍS! Is that you, my friend?” On the other end, Luís smiled while in Daryl's office. “Yes, Suzy, I’m back in Brazil!” “Oh, Felipe answered my call! Did he send the ‘guys’ from the Bento family to look for you?” Suzy asked excitedly. Luís didn’t know about that but decided to confirm it to make Suzy happy. “That’s right, my dear. It seems my return to Brazil was necessary.” “Necessary and urgent! Everything is falling apart without you around!” Suzy exclaimed vehemently, “You need to get back to your supervisor position before David—” “Wait, I’ve already been informed about that file.” Luís took a deep breath. “I want to check with your uncle to see if I still have
Chapter 3151 Josias Discovers the Hidden Plan
In the Mountain Penthouse, Luís learns everything that Daryl and William uncovered about his family, being shocked by the amount of corruption that existed years before he moved into the Vasquez Mansion. Daryl came from the kitchen with a platter of jawbreaker pie for everyone, but Luís hesitated in choosing a piece, dumbfounded. “This can’t be possible... how could my uncles have been capable of...?” “Do you understand now, Luís, why we want to expose them?” Daryl asks excitedly. “The blog that Will is maintaining doesn’t aspire to be a major media outlet: it’s just a way to get back at them.” “And my aunt continues to party at the club with younger guys without my uncle knowing?” Luís furrows his brow. Olivia always coveted him, but he wasn’t exclusive... “That’s right. Maybe he’ll find out...” William smiles diabolically, considering the possibility. “He should at least know about Aunt Olivia sleeping with Dr. Hogan. Maybe he encouraged her without knowing that Aunt already
