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

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

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

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

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
Building My Life Chapter 2490 Let’s Drop the Formality
Olivia is now in her office talking to someone on the phone. She is impatient with the meeting she had with Cláudio hours before, resulting in something she did not expect.“Yes, the wages of drivers and changers have been increased, as my dear husband promised... Oh, didn’t you read that in the minutes? Well, believe me, my dear... If you don’t pay what we promised, they will go on strike, and we cannot allow our company to go through yet another embarrassment. Do you know how much we sweat to get João Paulo Queiroz off our back?”Erasmo enters with a triumphant smile. He is slightly surprised to find his wife so stressed on a historic day.“OK, my dear husband has appeared.” Olivia puts her hand on the mouthpiece, “Honey, isn’t it true that you promised our employees a pay raise?”Erasmo was going to deny it, but something was stopping him. He smiles fakely and ‘confirms’, “Yes, dear? Isn’t that in the memo?”“They say you forgot to type that part.” Olivia rolls her eyes. Those inco

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,
