Building My Life Chapter 2471 Suspending the Plan
In Ibrahim Square, Olivia feels trapped by Cláudio's question. He smiles teasingly at her, following Melissa's instructions.“I... I wasn't talking about myself...” Olivia tries to hide her sinful emotions.“Ah, okay...” Cláudio pretends to believe, “That's good, Olivia. If you weren't married, I'd say you were jealous. Those girls just wanted my autograph.”“You don’t need to explain to me.” Olivia lies through her teeth, “I need to go. And congratulations on this year’s fashion show, I couldn’t help you this time.”“Your husband didn’t donate, right?” Cláudio asks mockingly, “That’s the talk that went on in the dressing rooms. When are you going to give up and declare bankruptcy, Olivia?”"NEVER!" Olivia screams at the top of her lungs, “We’re going to get out of this! Without João Paulo Rocha Queiroz's slanderous articles, we will turn things around! In fact, it looks like someone finally put a cork in his mouth.”“On his fingers, you mean.” Cláudio jokes."It doesn't matter." Oliv
Building My Life Chapter 2472 No Action Plan
At Rocha Mansion, Melissa meets Caroline getting ready to go out with friends to the mall. She was wearing Calvin Klein jeans and a boat neck blouse from Vasconcelos Tecidos. Sitting at the dressing table, Caroline was applying lipstick and the makeup kit was available.“Wow, daughter, what a cool look!” Melissa approaches, “Are you going out?”“I arranged with some friends via chat,” Caroline responds as she finishes sliding the lipstick across her lips.“And is Sofia Vasquez included?” Melissa sits on her bed.“No, because she’s not part of my circle of friends,” Caroline answers coldly. She opens the case, takes a cotton swab, chooses an eyeshadow color, and applies it to her eyelids.“What a shame. I talked to your brother.” Melissa tries to be cautious, “He definitely takes after Josias, Carol. He hopes the two of you become friends. And I feel like Sofia is different from her parents.”“Why didn’t you invite her Mom to this year’s fashion festival?” Caroline asks arrogantly.“Be

Reuben appeared with them.Mary and Ignacio cheer with joy, “EEE! Reuben, YOU CAME!”“I’m here, kids! Did you miss me?”“YES!” They jump, “Let’s go to the game room!”Caroline goes downstairs and smiles at Reuben. She imagines he’ll be like this with the children they will have.Reuben visualizes Caroline and gestures to the twins, “One moment, my fans. I need to greet my future wife.”The twins giggle. As Caroline was not yet old enough to vote, she stayed at home.“Hi, Carol! Today I exercised my citizenship. Will there be cheating in the vote count?” Reuben worries.“I hope not.” Caroline laughs, “Are you going to venture into the tunnel again?”Reuben sticks out his chest, “Do what? My fans ask for it.”“OK, make sure you get out before lunch is served. The maids are preparing chic
Building My Life Chapter 2474 Surprises at Lunch
At Rocha Mansion, Josias and his family gather for lunch. The maids serve the options and uncover pans and cloches. The penetrating smell of chicken pie fills everyone’s nostrils.“Hmm...” Josias sniffs theatrically, making the others laugh.“It’s delicious just to smell it,” Melissa comments.“And Carol advertised it for Reuben.” Josias looks around the table, “Where is he?”Mary and Ignacio enter the dining room led by Hector.Alan already knows what happened, but he asks anyway, “Kids, what happened to Reuben?”“He’s almost getting out, and he said we could have lunch while he finishes going through the tunnel,” Ignacio speaks as if he has the situation under control.Caroline laughs, “Did you guys wash your hands?”“Yes, sis.” Mary holds out her little hands. Caroline nods.“Sit down, children.” Melissa points to the free chairs and they sit down.Hector leaves. He calls two gardeners to move a trapped Reuben to the most secluded corner of the second floor.When the butler is comi
Building My Life Chapter 2475 Black Credit Card
In the Teodoro Building, Pedro tries to go through the lobby to his apartment without being noticed by Beto.But Beto is still in front of the computer, trying to come up with a solution, “Pete!”Pedro freezes his steps and turns to him, aloof, “Yes, Dad?”“You’re young and understand these modernities better.” Beto smiles at him, “Can you tell me what happened to my computer? I’m trying to use it because of the tenants who are paying the monthly rent, but the thing is processing like hell.”Pedro swallows hard and approaches the counter, “Ehr... This could be a virus.”Beto narrows his eyes, staring at the monitor, “Pat said that, but I don’t understand how I was invaded by one. Didn’t you happen to click on something wrong?”“I didn’t click on anything lewd!” Pedro almost gives himself away.Beto smiles reassuringly, “I’m not accusing you of anything, son. I know you’re more careful than me. Anyway, I’m gonna have to look for something they call ‘antivirus’. But that’s only tomorrow

In Beto’s apartment, Pedro and Maycon are watching a football match on TV. Beto and Teresa enter next and find their children.“Maycon, will you help me make popcorn?” Teresa invites him.“Yes, Mom!” He turns to his brother, “Pause the game.”Pedro starts to laugh. How would he do such a thing? Maycon is confusing live broadcasts with DVD recordings.When Teresa and Maycon leave, Beto sits next to his son.“Pete, now that we’re alone, you can confess to your old Dad what really happened.”Pedro feels cornered, understanding why Teresa took Maycon to the kitchen, “Oh, of course...”“Pete, why didn’t you tell me that you were the one who caused my computer to become infected?” Beto asks paternally.“Shame. Nobody likes to admit they made a mistake.” Pedro responds humbly.“I understand. But you could have told me. I wasn’t going to make a scene among the tenants passing through the lobby.” Beto puts his hand on his shoulder, “You can trust me.”Pedro stares at Beto, “Dad, I swear I didn
Building My Life Chapter 2477 Time is up for Erasmo
The next day, the newspapers announced the victory of the new mayor of Lagoon City. Tobias was very happy, as this indirectly meant that he had won once again.The inauguration speech was given in Ibrahim Square and broadcast live. The new mayor promised to follow the same promptness and competence as his predecessor, governing the city with love and justice for all citizens, without distinction.Vernon was smiling in his office, waiting for the journalist responsible to cut out the best parts of the inauguration speech to publish in the newspaper. Meanwhile, João Paulo enters the room with an anxious smile.“Dad, I think I’ve given Erasmo Vasquez enough time to fix his company, correct?” He asks, leaning on the desk, “Why are the buses still rusty and out of date?”“I don’t know, son.” Vernon chuckles, “You’re the journalist to investigate this.”“But what should I do if Josias is offended by my work?” João Paulo becomes serious.“Talk to him first,” Vernon advises him.“No, that’s L
Building My Life Chapter 2478 Pay Raise?
At Crystal Blue, Josias asks Daryl what Shirley’s situation will be like at the hotel. But Josias begins to suspect that Daryl doesn’t even know how Shirley has been messing around at the Rocha Hotel.“What?” Daryl stands up abruptly, “Her credit card was approved again? And for what limit?”Josias is stunned, “Daryl, I thought you could answer me. After all, haven’t you gotten back in touch?”“Not me, I only visited her once.” Daryl frowns, “She said she was making ends meet at the hotel by selling shortbread cookies.”Josias stifles a laugh with his hand, “You know she was taking you for a fool, don’t you?”Daryl wrinkles his nose, “I didn’t think your hotel’s VIP suite had a stove and kitchen. My Mom must have hit the jackpot, but she’s burning everything at the hotel. What a fool!”Josias was going to say that Shirley is foolish for being his mother, but decides to hold back the joke. Daryl is already upset enough.“And how is she?” Daryl asks, worried.“She’s being a bubonic plag

Chapter 3210 Josias Junior in Action
At Vaztrans, William questioned Sofia about the company’s finances, which are now in order since her parents stopped interfering.“Uh, I think the explanation is simple. With my father no longer here, we don’t have that urge to prove we’re always the best public transportation company in the city.” Sofia sat face to face with him. “I remember my father would always freak out when people mocked the old bus models we had.”“Yeah, and he would waste money buying expensive buses that we couldn’t afford to maintain.” William accepted this explanation for now. “So, Sofia, you wouldn’t be offended if I said your father was just playing at being a manager?”Sofia made a face. “My father managed Vaztrans since its inception. I’m here to continue his legacy.”“I know you’ll do a good job.” William leaned back in his chair. “I just want us to keep things this way now that we’re in control.”Sofia crossed her arms. “Great. I hope that doesn’t mean any insinuation on your part – or from that littl
Chapter 3209 Time to Look for Other Girls
Vaztrans, morning. Brand new buses come in and out of the garage, with drivers and fare collectors smiling in their new uniforms. In William’s office (which used to belong to Olivia), he scratched his forehead while researching and checking the financial spreadsheets. Sofia, greeted like a diva by the staff, entered the office. “Good morning to you too! Have a good day at work!” She approached the desk. “Good morning, Will! What’s with that long face?” “I’m not making a long face. I’m making a face of someone who doesn’t understand this accounting,” William replied, still looking at the monitor. “What’s the problem? Are we broke again?” Sofia’s eyes widened. “No.” William finally looked at her, with a mischievous smile. “We have so much slack that we could pay off one of the installments of the loan we took from Josias if we wanted to.” Sofia continued with wide eyes. “Oh, that’s incredible, right?” William kept smiling. “Sofia, you’re not getting my astonishment. The point is
Chapter 3208 A Night in the Cell to Reflect
At Rocha Constructions, Josias and Alan faced a dilemma: should they start a war against the Borges brothers? Thierry noticed their initial hesitation. “If it’s too much for you two, forget it. J.J. and I will manage on our own. Maybe Daryl can help us.” The mention of Daryl made Josias react, “Wait a minute, Thierry. We never said we wouldn’t help you. On the contrary, I feel the same way: that truck was deliberately sent against the supermarket to cause that accident.” “Yeah, a way to force J.J. to choose between focusing on the farm or on Vasconcelos. No one but the Borges brothers was interested in that.” Thierry smiled slightly. “The problem is we have no proof.” Josias put his hands in his pockets. “The truck was on the street, there are no surveillance cameras nearby.” Alan asked, “But J.J. decided to stay with Vasconcelos, right?” “Exactly. That was our way of getting back at them.” Josias nodded. “So, our only form of investigation will be to observe how Reynaldo Borges
Chapter 3207 The Law Must Be Obeyed
Just out of spite, David was taken to the Happiness Slum police station, where Dylan was now interrogating him and pressing him against the wall. David was shaking while handcuffed, thinking he might have a chance to escape. “What is going on here? LET ME GO! This station is not equipped to handle my problems!” Dylan sat at the desk, keeping one of his subordinates nearby, standing by the door. “Oh really? It just so happens that it’s the opposite: Commissioner Tavares said he doesn’t want to see your face at the headquarters!” David was horrified by the remark. “What does that mean? We can’t allow such abuse! Call my dad immediately!” Dylan, grinning with delight, leaned back in his chair. “Mr. Souza, it was your father who ordered us to remove you from the Rocha Constructions building.” “That’s IMPOSSIBLE! My dad never ordered Alan’s arrest!” “Isn’t it because Alan Campos Rocha has never given the police any reason to detain him?” Dylan asked ironically. “And on what charges
Chapter 3206 Is Daniela Pregnant?
At the management office of Lafayette Supermarket, Thierry was signing a fat check for a member of the Cintra family. The man, who was the victim’s brother, was staring at everyone with disdain and arrogance. “You have to understand that we can no longer shop at this supermarket, right?” he kept saying. “My poor brother used to come here because the wine prices were cheaper, but now... we’re going to have to resort to the little store closer to home, even if it costs more!” Nadia was outraged. “Mr. Cintra, don’t be arrogant!” Mr. Cintra raised his chin at Nadia. “I can sue you for this too, you know?” “No, you can’t,” Thierry emphasized, tearing the check from the invoice and hastily extending it to him. “Take it and get out of our sight!” “You are in the wrong and still want to play the victim!” Mr. Cintra simply felt entitled to cluck. “Thank goodness my brother didn’t die! Otherwise, we would tear this crappy supermarket down! It was much better when the Ramos family ran this
Chapter 3205 At the Height of Despair
The next day, Daniela was talking to Dr. Matthew Hogan at General Hospital. “Alright, Daniela,” he said with a smile. “I hope we don't find anything serious in your tests.” “Could I... be pregnant?” Daniela asked in a whisper. Talking to Matthew inevitably reminded her of Silvana Hogan, his mother and a famous obstetrician. “My mother is now retired and enjoying the Bahamas,” Matthew said kindly. “If your test results indicate you’re expecting, we’ll refer you to the appropriate department.” “Thank you so much, Dr. Hogan!” Daniela extended her hand, and Matthew shook it. A few moments later, Daniela was walking through the corridors, thinking about the possibility of being pregnant. She even placed her right hand on her belly, already imagining herself carrying the heir of the Reis family. She smiled mischievously as she recalled the countless nights of passionate love where Pedro ravaged her mercilessly, only stopping when the alarm rang the next morning. How could she not
Chapter 3204 Someone is Not Feeling Well
Melissa worried about her parents' objection regarding the twins getting involved with their paternal family. "Mom, Dad, I understand your concern." Melissa broke the silence. "But in a way, they're right. I don't have the right to completely cut them off from Kelvin. Besides, they have another little brother." Dora looked at her wristwatch. "At this hour, Mary must be in the penthouse, keeping an eye on Anthony." "Oh, did they say they were going to do that?" Melissa smiled slightly. "Yes, someone texted them asking for it. Probably Kelvin," Simeon replied seriously. Dora explained, "Daughter, let's hope Daryl doesn't take advantage of the closeness to poison our grandchildren's minds." Melissa was alarmed. "What are you saying, Mom? I won't allow that!" "No, I know you won't allow it." Dora frowned. "That's why I hope you visit Kelvin and set some boundaries." "If I bring this up, I'll unintentionally be starting a stupid war," Melissa retorted. "They know their boundaries.
Chapter 3203 Long-Term Consequences
At Rocha Constructions, Sofia is eager to prove that she was right all along about Suzy. She leaned back against Alan again, wanting information. "Dear, before we were interrupted, you were saying something about me being right to be suspicious of Suzy Cogo. I knew that smartass was planning something!" Alan scratched the back of his neck. "I feel like she was the one Everaldo mentioned in the prophecy." Sofia's eyes lit up. "That's true! Suzy is the only one investing out there! Do you think she will want a slice of Rocha Constructions?" "I sincerely hope my dad doesn't agree to sell any shares. I won't do that. Better warn Caio." Alan became serious. "Well, I'll have to put up with her at Vaztrans." Sofia sighed, feeling discouraged. Alan turned to his wife with curiosity. "Speaking of which, dear, we haven't heard any news about Vaztrans being in trouble this year. Did you finally manage to control the spending?" Sofia looked confused. "Uh, I don't know what you're talking a

Sofia reacted, obviously pleased, when none other than her husband stated that she was right.Unable to resist any longer, she sat on Alan's lap and delivered THAT delicious, passionate kiss.When the kiss ended, Alan was perplexed, eyes wide."What was that for?" He asked, lost."You silly!" Sofia began to laugh. "This is your reward for believing in me. And tonight, you'll have another reward that's under my panties—"The last phrase was clearly heard by Caio, who was opening the door at that moment.Sofia quickly bounced off Alan's lap, trying to disguise the intimacy. Caio blushed slightly, smiling awkwardly.Alan smiled nervously. "Wow, everyone decided to start early in 2012! Good morning, cousin."Caio avoided looking at Sofia. "Good morning, cousin. Do we have any updates regarding our annual meeting?""My dad appointed me president – again." Alan's cat-like grin indicated that he wasn't complaining. "And we'll have all the important people, just like last year."Caio's face g
