Building My Life Chapter 2482 It Wasn’t My Intention
At Rocha Mansion, Josias, Melissa, and Caroline have breakfast discussing the subject.“Daughter, be careful not to spread false information.” Josias states while munching on potato bread, “Probably Mr. Vasquez finally stopped wasting his money on partying and expensive handbags for his wife and decided to invest in his company.”“Or, probably, he got Alan to lend him some money to make sure Sofia marries him.” Caroline doesn’t give up.Melissa shakes her head, “Alan wouldn’t have the money to renew an entire fleet of buses, Carol.”“No, but suppose Mr. Vasquez needed only part of the money? Or suppose Alan sold some of the shares in Rocha Constructions to—”“Not that, Carol!” Josias rages, “This couldn’t have happened! Alan would never do such a thing!”Caroline mixes coffee with milk, “That’s why we need to ask him, Dad.”Alan appears, wearing a formal shirt and jeans, “Good morning, family!”Caroline barely blinks as she asks, “Alan, did you sell your shares in Rocha Constructions
Building My Life Chapter 2483 New Bus Line
Maggie visits Crystal Blue and talks to Daryl about what she decided. They’re both in his office.“Daryl, won’t your new boss mind?” Maggie asks with some mockery.Daryl smiles evilly, “He’s too busy posing immodestly for female perverts to drool over his naked body. Meanwhile, it’s like I never stopped owning this restaurant. The only thing that bothers me is the fact that my son was demoted to waiter and Pat was promoted to maître d’.”“Why?” Maggie’s eyes widen.“Because Felipe stayed at home for several days lamenting what Josias did. Pat took advantage of his absence and offered to replace him. When Felipe returned to work, Cláudio didn’t want to put him back in his position. For me, he did it on purpose.”Maggie shakes her head, “I hope things can get back to normal. Meanwhile, I came to announce something interesting to you.”“What?” Daryl is interested.“Bernie and I decided to do a DNA test on Henrique to shut our mother up.” Maggie frowns, “She keeps saying that Henrique’s f
Building My Life Chapter 2484 Who Really Helped
At the General Hospital, Dr. Silvana is talking to Henrique. Bernardo and Maggie are with him.“Henrique, we’re going to go in that little room to take a little blood from your arm, OK? It won’t hurt or anything.”“Don’t worry, doctor, I’m a man, that’s what my father said,” Henry speaks boldly.Dr. Silvana and Maggie laugh, finding Henry very cute. Bernardo winks at his son approvingly.“OK, let’s get to the procedure then.”Dr. Silvana’s current assistant takes Henrique by the arm and takes him to the laboratory.Dr. Silvana drops her smile and becomes serious with Henrique’s parents, “Does that mean the old witch is back with the lying gossip?”Bernardo sighs, “Unfortunately, doctor. We’re using this trick, hoping she understands once and for all.”“Don’t worry. When she swallows the truth, you will have eternal peace.” Dr. Silvana extends her thumb.“I want to end this nightmare soon.” Maggie takes a deep breath, “And worst of all: she’s gone and we don’t know where she is.”“She
Building My Life Chapter 2485 Reuben the Secretary
On another day, Caroline was talking to Reuben on a bench in Ibrahim Square. Pedestrians passed by, recognizing the couple and smiling at them.Reuben grins, “Honey, they think we’re married when we’re still dating.”“We’re not dating, Reuben.” Caroline is crestfallen.“Then let’s fix this!” Reuben says playfully, “Be my girlfriend, Caroline Campos Rocha.”Caroline smiles weakly at Reuben.“Let’s not joke about serious things, Reuben.”“But I’m serious!” Reuben exclaims, but his playful expression doesn’t convince Caroline, “I love you, Carol, you always knew that.”“Yes, I know. But I’m not in the mood for that right now, Reuben.”Reuben continues smiling, “I know. You’re upset because Alan is dating Sofia.”“I wish it was just that.” Caroline stares at him, “I suspect her family’s intentions. Now they managed to improve the company and save it from bankruptcy. But I wonder what it would be like when Alan and Sofia were married.”“If that happens, Uncle Josias would help, but in retu
Building My Life Chapter 2486 The Princess of Lagoon City Is Already Betrothed
At Ibrahim Square, Felipe and Caroline are surprised by Cláudio’s interference. He’s wearing business clothes and a tie, not looking remotely like the sexy model who poses in only Speedos.“Mr. Guzman, what do you want now?” Felipe rolls his eyes.“I want to know why you’re late for work. Then you complain to your father that I won’t let you be maître d’ at MY restaurant.” Cláudio responds mockingly.Caroline gets scared, “Felipe, are you late for work? Oh, my God, I didn’t want to hold you back!”“No way, Caroline!” Felipe shakes his hands, “Don’t feel guilty. I was the one who wanted to stop and have a chat. But you’re right, I need to go.” He glares at Cláudio.“While you go, I’m going to have a word with the Princess of Lagoon City.” Claudius scoffs, “Now I’m qualified for such a privilege.”“Bye, Carol.” Felipe walks away, swearing under his breath.Caroline turns her attention to the former swimming instructor, “What do you want to talk to me about, Cláudio?”“Carol, weren’t you
Building My Life Chapter 2487 Embarrassment in the Teodoro Building
At Rocha Constructions, Josias announces to Alfred and Octavio that Reuben will work at the company. The gentlemen are walking through the halls, among busy employees.“Guys, Reuben will replace Pollyanna. Go easy on him.”“I don’t understand why.” Octavio jokes, “Reuben is an intelligent guy, and very smart.”Josias smiles at the corner of his mouth, “You know very well that he’ll make a lot of mistakes in his first days as secretary. Don’t make him feel stupid or inferior. Be patient with him.”Alfredo jokes, “If you have patience with him, Josias, so will we.”“I know it sounds strange, but I’m actually hoping Reuben will help my son when he takes the throne.” Josias stops in front of the elevator and presses the button.“Meanwhile, Caio retires me.” Octavio takes a deep breath.“Are you already thinking about retirement, Octavio? It’s still early!” Alfred laughs.“Keep dreaming!” Octavio giggles, “Look how time flies! And to think that I joined this company in 1983 and now it’s 20
Building My Life Chapter 2488 The Truth Everyone Knew
In the hallways of General Hospital, Maggie, Bernardo, Daryl, and Diane are anxiously walking to Dr. Silvana’s office.“I didn’t expect the test to come out so quickly!” Maggie exclaims.“These are the wonders of modern technology, my dear!” Bernardo jokes, “And I couldn’t take the anxiety anymore.”Daryl nods, “Let’s put this doubt to rest once and for all.”“A doubt that is only raised by your mother.” Diane frowns, “How I wish she was around to know—”The four stop their steps as they turn the corridor to the right. They are shocked when they catch Shirley talking and shamelessly flirting with Dr. Braggart. She smoothes her hand over his chest, getting him embarrassed.“Dr. Braggart, how do you get your body in shape?” She licks her lips, thinking she is a twenty-year-old woman sensualizing the man she loves.“M-Mrs. Mountain, I’m a doctor, it’s pretty normal that I take care of my health.” Dr. Braggart tries to be polite.“Congratulations. You look like my man, Frank, equally musc

Olivia later finds herself in another peculiar situation. Not only did she have to dodge her daughter’s questions, but she has noticed someone else dodging: Cláudio.It was a beautiful day when she was crossing Ibrahim Square and noticed her beloved Cláudio trying to jump over a bench to get to the other side of the square, running away from Olivia as if she were Lady Death.“CLAUDIO!” Olivia screams, unaware of how ridiculous and needy she looks, “What do you think you’re doing? You look like you’re trying to get away from me.”Cláudio swallows hard. Melissa’s warning for him to stop the plan echoed freshly in his mind.“I’m sorry, Mrs. Vasquez. I have to work and I don’t have time for your gossip.” He responds distantly.“But I have time to honor Crystal Blue to eat your salmon.” Olivia blinks mischievously.“The salmon is not mine. The recipe was created when the Bento family—”“You got it, don’t be cute.” Olivia laughs, thinking that Cláudio was laughing.“Mrs. Vasquez, what do yo

Chapter 3162 Can We Trust Brendon?
That morning, at Rocha Constructions, Josias and Alfred walked down the hallway, engaged in a serious conversation about Brendon.“So, Alfred?” Josias asked, his tone sharp with curiosity. “Can we trust the guy?”Alfred nodded with confidence. “We can. Unless he’s twice as cunning as David.”Josias scoffed. “Impossible. My son took masterclasses in villainy.”Alfred hesitated for a moment before asking, “You’ve really given up on him, haven’t you?”Josias sighed, his voice tinged with regret. “I always tried to be fair, to integrate him into the family... but he’s been strange since he was a kid. I think he still expects me to marry his mother.”As they made their way through the bustling office, Alfred stifled a chuckle. “Pfff... Sorry, Josias, but that’s absolutely impossible. You love Melissa.”“I always have,” Josias admitted. “Of course, when she was married to Kelvin, I kept my distance.”“But things didn’t work out with Kelvin, and now you two are back together.”“And this time
Chapter 3161 Commercial Shoot
The next day, the Rocha family gathered for breakfast, joined by Simeon, Dora, Ignacio, and Mary. The atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.Hector appeared at the doorway, hesitant to interrupt but clearly carrying important news.“Speak, Hector,” Josias prompted.“Mr. Rocha, your eldest son is here,” Hector announced.Melissa looked up in surprise, dabbing her lips with a napkin. “This early?”“Let him in,” she said, setting her napkin down.Mary beamed. “Yay! Alan is joining us!”Ignacio, less convinced, muttered, “Maybe he already ate.”Dora glanced at her husband. “Could something have happened at the company — or at Vaztrans?”Simeon smirked. “I’d bet on the second option.”Just then, Alan entered with a broad smile.“Good morning, beautiful people! Oh, how I’ve missed these breakfasts!”“Don’t just miss them,” Melissa teased. “Pull up a chair and sit down!”Unable to resist, Alan sank into a seat, momentarily reliving his teenage years.Josias leaned in. “Tell us, son. What ha

Alan sat at his desk in Rocha Constructions, focused on some important matters on his computer. The night had fallen outside, but he was too absorbed in work to notice. The office door opened, and Alfred stepped in.“Alan, may I have a word with you?” he asked.“Come in,” Alan replied without looking up.Alfred approached the desk. “The order processing team came across an unusual request.”Alan stopped typing and turned his attention to Alfred. “What kind of request?”“A renovation request for Angel’s Store.”Alan immediately flared up, rising from his chair. “What kind of joke is this? Cancel the request IMMEDIATELY!”“Normally, they would,” Alfred explained, “but the online form was submitted by Brendon Souza.”Hearing the name, Alan calmed down, reconsidering the situation. “Is he related to David? Someone who took over the store while David was at the hotel?”“Maybe. He placed the order through the website,” Alfred said.Alan crossed his arms, deep in thought. “I doubt David woul
Chapter 3159 Suzy’s Investments
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,
Chapter 3154 The Job Is Yours
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
