At Crystal Blue, Caroline is surprised to see Patrick replacing Felipe as maître d’.“Good morning, Miss Correia.” Patrick grins and checks the computer, “You’ve reserved a table for two. Okay, I’ll call the waiter.”“Pat, I’m still not used to seeing you in a tuxedo, I’m sorry.” She holds back a giggle.“Do you think I must live in Europe Garden to deserve the profession?” Patrick is uncomfortable.“No, it’s not that...” Caroline shakes her head, good-naturedly, “A little more, and you can dominate your own restaurant.”“The opportunity arrived, and I had to take advantage of it,” Patrick comments calmer when he sees that Caroline isn’t making fun of him.He gestures to the next waiter. Felipe appears and is embarrassed to meet Caroline.“Carol... I...”“Table 05, Felipe!” Patrick speaks rudely.Felipe glares at Patrick and focuses on Caroline, “I’m sorry.”“What are you sorry about?” Caroline is shocked.“I’m the one who should be at the counter as maître d’,” Felipe complains.“But

The next day, Sofia wakes up early thanks to her cell phone. She shifts in bed, uncomfortable with the fact that someone is calling before the alarm clock.“Urgh... can’t I sleep some more?” She complains.After rubbing her eyes, she checks her cell phone and is shocked to see Caroline’s number.“It’s the brat, my annoying future sister-in-law!” She listens, “HELLO?”On the other side, in Caroline’s room, she is awake, dressed casually, and with a vibrant tone of voice, “GOOD MORNING, Sofia! How are you? Did you sleep well?”Sofia was going to respond rudely that she was still sleeping, but she remembered that she could earn Alan’s respect if she treated her sister-in-law with courtesy, “Yes, Carol, I slept well. Thank you very much for asking. How can I be of service?”“Do you want to talk to me in an hour at Café Montanha?” Caroline invites her.Sofia swallows hard. One hour? “Yes, it will be wonderful. We’ll meet there.”“OK, do you want Hector to pick you up?”“No, it’s not necess

Did he get stuck in the tunnel for good?”“No, he left.” Caroline proudly reports, “Reuben is now my father’s secretary.”Sofia’s eyes widen, “Wow, how wonderful! My congratulations to him.”“Now he will have a salary to support me.” Caroline jokes.“HA, HA, HA!” Sofia laughs, “Caroline, if I know you well, you already have a job lined up somewhere.”“Actually, my aunt Maggie is expecting me to study Journalism to work at Maggiezine,” Caroline informs her.Rodrigo serves both of their orders, “Bon appétit!”Sofia takes the first sip, “Congratulations, Carol.

Building My Life Chapter 2499 Nothing Is For Random
Josias gets up and continues talking to Felipe in the headquarters office. Felipe has to restrain himself from showing obviousness because he likes to launch intrigues.“Felipe, are you sure about this? Aren’t you confusing it with other customers?”“How could I confuse your beautiful daughter and the ugly secretary?” Felipe asks mockingly.“But my daughter... Well, I confess that today she said something that left me in doubt.” Josias scratches the back of his head.“I thought you deserved to know that, Mr. Rocha.” Felipe takes a step back, thinking about leaving.“Why?” Josias suddenly asks him.“What did you say, sir?” Felipe appears to have been struck by lightning.“Why did you want me to know that?” Josias repeats, “I thought you hated me now, Felipe.”“I don’t like the idea of having my inheritance stolen.” Felipe retorts, “But I felt like I should have come.”“Do you have feelings for my daughter, Felipe?” Josias crosses his arms. He feels like there’s something else to this s

Josias is in his office still thinking about what Felipe said. His cell phone rings.Upon realizing that it’s an unknown number, Josias decides to look at the calendar on the desk. December.It’s probably Everaldo!“Hello?”“Hello, my great friend Josias!” Everaldo’s voice softened our hero’s heart.“Everaldo, you need to appear and assume your human form!” Josias exclaims, “I really need your help, man!”“What are you talking about, Josias?” Everaldo laughs, “I’m human.”Josias shakes his head. He will never believe that, ever!“OK, what does 2005 hold for me? Will my son be happy in his marriage? Can I trust the Vasquez family?”“Your son will have a happy marriage like yours, after all, he takes after you.” Everaldo responds, “As for the Vasquez family, they’re not the ones I would worry about.”Josias grips his cell phone tighter, “Do you know something I don’t know?”“What do you mean?” Everaldo chuckles, “You’re the one who’s on top of things. You know who deserves and doesn’t d
Building My Life Chapter 2501 Someone Should Shut Up
2005“Nadia Lafayette, I don’t even know where to start. When I met you, I never dreamed that I would be here now, at the altar of Green Park Church, declaring my love in front of our friends and family. But the time came when I started to dream, and then, to believe that the dream would come true. Thank you, thank you very much for believing in me and accepting me as your companion, for the rest of our lives.”“Rodrigo Mountain, they say that women can’t resist the charm of a Mountain man, and it seems that the saying is true. I tried, but my heart spoke louder. You won me over with your charismatic way of being. I wrapped myself body and mind in your love and affection. I’m very honored that you chose me among countless who would envy my place. So I promise I’ll make up for your decision.”Father Matias smiles in front of the bride and groom, “Now, time to recite the classic vows.”Rodrigo, dressed in his tuxedo, and Nadia, dressed in a stunning bridal outfit, smile at each other.I
Building My Life Chapter 2502 Plan for 2005
At Crystal Blue, Cláudio looks pleased at the activity of customers who come to eat the dishes of the most refined and trendy restaurant in the city. He goes towards the bar and finds Diane concentrating on drinks, serving different drinks to different patrons.“A beautifully crafted ‘Bloody Mary’!” She hands the glass to one of them.“Thanks!” The customer smiles and drinks, approving with his eyes.Cláudio leans against the counter, “What’s up, Diane? What was your New Year’s resolution?”“Telling everyone that I don’t know Shirley, how shameful!” Diane drops her smile.“Yes, it was shameful to see your mother-in-law crashing the wedding. Why would she care?”“She thinks she still has rights in the family.” Diane shrugs, “Good thing Daryl is away from her. It’s bad enough that people attribute the worst things to the Mountain family. Can you imagine what they would say with Shirley around us? That old woman is a source of confusion.”“It’s a pity,” Cláudio speaks genuinely, he is no
Building My Life Chapter 2503 It’s Too Early to Talk About Pregnancy
At Rocha Constructions, Reuben grimaces, thinking that Josias will entrust him with another embarrassing mission.Josias, however, doesn’t seem to want to demand any of this from him, “I want to confirm something, Reuben. You’re willing to do anything to marry my daughter, right?”“Yes, Uncle Josias! I love her like crazy!” Reuben declares passionately.“Then why didn’t you make things easier?” Josias laughs lightly.“I hope that, with Carol and Sofia living together, your daughter will eventually come to truly accept Sofia as a friend.” Reuben finally reveals what he really means.Josias was more amazed at Reuben’s wisdom. He understood: if Reuben just told Caroline to be friends with Sofia because her father told her to, she would never have accepted it.“Reuben, I take my hat off to you!” Josias extends his hand.Reuben shakes it, “Now can we eat? I’m still hungry.”“Yes, let’s go to Crystal Blue for lunch together!” Josias puts the glass on the drinks table.Reuben grins, victorio

The injured were transported by ambulance to General Hospital. Nadia was taken home. Thierry and Rodrigo remained nearby, answering questions.“Rod, you can go back to the cafeteria if you want,” Thierry suggested inside the management office.“I’ve been around and checked the truck. I need to give my testimony,” Rodrigo replied.Dylan entered the management office, finding the two gentlemen there.“Well, has anyone found the driver?” Dylan asked seriously.“He’s being questioned by one of your men outside,” Thierry said as he approached the blinds and pulled them back.He could see from a distance the pale and frightened truck driver, swearing his innocence while Dylan’s subordinate merely took note of what he said with an indifferent expression.Dylan broke the silence, “At most, Josias Junior will have to bear the costs.

Chapter 3165 Accident at Lafayette Supermarket
Panic and terror erupted at the Lafayette Supermarket as customers ran and screamed in desperation. Mothers carried their children, who were shrieking in fear, out of the store. The housewives who had swooned over Rodrigo were now calling their husbands, horrified, thinking it was a terrorist attack. Some people lay unconscious on the floor, blood pooling beneath them. Outside, warehouse workers were running in such frenzy. One of the trucks from Fazenda Bezerra had lost control and crashed through one of the supermarket walls. The impact was so powerful that the truck BURST through the wall, creating a deafening noise and toppling shelves filled with drinks. Customers near those shelves were knocked to the ground, with bottles of brandy, wine, and cases of beer falling on top of them. “Oh no, how HORRIBLE!” Nadia exclaimed, equally horrified. Unable to bear the tension any longer, she fainted, just as Thierry caught her in time. “I’ll check it out!” Rodrigo offered, moving clos
Chapter 3164 An Exciting Scoop
Josias sat comfortably in his executive chair, reviewing printed spreadsheets when a hesitant knock interrupted his focus. The door creaked open slowly, and Tony cautiously peeked in.“Mr. Rocha?” he asked, his voice uncertain.Josias barely looked up. “Speak, Tony.”“Do I still have my job?”That made Josias pause, lifting his eyes in surprise. “And why would I fire you?”Tony hesitated. “I don’t know... talking about your son seems to make you nervous.”Josias let out a reassuring smile to ease the secretary’s nerves. “You won’t be punished for that. Now, tell me.”“He’s at the reception, causing quite a commotion.”Josias kept his smile, but inside, he had the sudden urge to throw something out the office window. “Send him in.”Tony nodded and quickly left. Only then did Josias’ expression darken.The adjacent door swung open, and Alan appeared. “Dad, I—”“Oh no, son! David is on his way up.”Alan’s expression turned incredulous. “Why the hell did you let that happen?!”“He’s proba
Chapter 3163 The Difference Between Good and Evil
The morning at Lafayette Supermarket was calmier as the crew wrapped up the filming of a commercial. Rodrigo, ever the charismatic host, beamed at the camera with his signature charm.“And don’t forget,” he said enthusiastically, “the best prices can only be found here at Lafayette Supermarket!”“Cut!” the director called out.Contrary to what some might expect, Rodrigo’s radiant smile didn’t fade as soon as the cameras stopped rolling. He maintained his warm demeanor as he approached Nadia.“Sweetheart, what was that outburst with our customers?” he asked with a teasing lilt.Nadia, still flustered, huffed. “The years go by, but you remain as handsome as ever. I have to protect what’s mine.”Rodrigo chuckled, his eyes twinkling. “You have nothing to worry about anymore.”Pulling her into a loving embrace, he kissed her. As they parted, Thierry approached, clapping Rodrigo on the back.“That was great, Rod! You still got it.”Rodrigo smirked. “It’s like riding a bike. But the day will
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
Chapter 3160 About Apartments
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
