Building My Life Chapter 2513 Did History Repeat Itself?
In Vernon’s apartment, Sandra doesn’t seem to understand that João Paulo and Helen are getting married.“Daughter, which part of the announcement didn’t you understand?”“Are you and Helen getting married?” Sandra asks innocently.“Yes.” João Paulo smiles like a Japanese person, “Helen will be your mother. Do you want to have a mother?”“Yes, I want Helen to be my mother.” Sandra smiles and nods.“Then it will be possible.” João Paulo caresses her head.“But why doesn’t she sleep with you like grandpa and grandma sleep together?”Elza does ‘PFFF’ and spits out a sip of coffee. Vernon choked on the cookies he was chewing.Before João Paulo teaches his daughter about sex, Elza’s cell phone rings a scandalous ringtone.After relieving herself, Elza answers, “Hello, Jane?... Calm down, I can’t hear you!”On the other side, Jane is on the verge of a panic attack. She is at the Rocha Hotel, among guests screaming and shouting in terror. A fire department vehicle is approaching, sounding its
Building My Life Chapter 2514 Don’t Celebrate Disgrace
Flávia and Beto go to the General Hospital. There is a frenzy of doctors and nurses to take care of the people brought from the hotel.Dr. Braggart recognizes Beto and gestures to him, “Please, Mr. Reis, we’re very busy and we still have no information. Everyone is being properly attended to.”“My friend is the sister of the cook Ben Teixeira.” Beto points to Flávia.“He is being treated, but it’s too early to say anything.” Dr. Braggart looks at Flávia with pity.He cannot say yet whether Benjamin will live or die. At least, he has already been attended to.“I understand, doctor. I’ll wait.” Flávia turns to Beto, “I need to make some calls to the orphanage.”“OK, I’ll wait here, friend. Or better yet, let’s wait in the lounge.”“I’ll look for you there.” Dr. Braggart promises and quickly walks away. The paramedics brought in that young cook that Melissa saw, unconscious.“This young man’s bleeding hasn’t stopped, Dr. Braggart!” One of the paramedics screams.“Take him to the ICU imme
Building My Life Chapter 2515 False Pious Devotion
At General Hospital, Pedro enters the lounge and finds Beto waiting on the sofa, holding his right arm.“Dad, I’m glad I arrived on time. You forgot to take the pill.”“Hi, son!” Beto notices that Pedro has a plastic glass of water, “Thank you, I had forgotten. Your stepmother doesn’t neglect me, huh?”“Never. She doesn’t want to be a widow, and you have to take good care of Maycon.” Pedro sits next to him, “So, how are things?”“Benjamin is unconscious, but he was attended to. Maybe he’ll wake up at any moment.” Beto states hopefully.“And Mrs. Freire?” Pedro asks cautiously, “She already had a bad experience.”“She is calm, calling the orphanage supervisor.” Beto swallows the pill and drinks the water.Flávia enters, more calmly, “Today there was an intern who was going to start working at Café Montanha. I needed to check if he went. Oh, so much going on...”“Any information, Flávia?” Beto asks worryingly.“No, let’s keep waiting.” Flávia sits on the same sofa.The three remain sile
Building My Life Chapter 2516 Expectations in the Lounge
Caroline leaves the hospital lounge to ‘get some air’. She hasn’t been able to hide it for long...Beto and Pedro go out next to ask what’s going on.“Carol... What happened in there?” Beto asks cautiously.“You were making faces and feeling uncomfortable with Sofia’s presence.” Pedro states, “The news that got around at my grandfather’s building is that you two made up.”“I can’t disguise it, huh?” Caroline smiles wryly, “Didn’t Reuben tell you?”“Reuben doesn’t always let the gossip slip,” Pedro states with a smile.Caroline laughs, and then responds, “Reuben came up with the idea of me pretending to be Sofia’s friend so that my father would agree to marry Reuben. It was an imposition that my Dad gave.”Beto is startled, “And why would your father do something like that? How bizarre!”“According to my father, he wants to ensure peace and tranquility within the family.” Caroline sighs, “Apparently, if Sofia marries my brother, they’ll live at Rocha Mansion.”“Your mansion has lots of
Building My Life Chapter 2517 No One Believes in Daryl’s Faith
Total silence among those present in the lounge.Flávia buried her hands in her chest, her eyes watering, imagining what she would say to her father. She had just ended the call by saying that Benjamin was out of danger!Dr. Braggart closes the door and faces Josias, “I’m glad the hotel owner is here. Can you identify the deceased?”Everyone has a bump.“Wait, isn’t that Ben Teixeira?” Josias narrows his eyes.“The young man entered without documents, just with a dolman like the other cooks.” Dr. Braggart is confused, “He was the last one to enter.”Beto smiles in relief, “Guys, it’s not Ben! I saw him come in.”Melissa remembers the cook. The ambulance was almost leaving when the paramedics appeared near it, carrying the young man on a stretcher. She thought the boy was already dead at that time...“Wait, why did it take them so long to get this cook here?” Melissa finds this strange, “I remember him too. Ben and the others had already been removed.”“Let’s do the identification. Mom
Building My Life Chapter 2518 What About the Baby?
In the private room at the General Hospital, Benjamin is shocked to learn that a colleague of his died in the gas explosion.“NO!” He exclaims in horror, “It can’t be! What a tragedy... Who was it?”“We don’t know yet. They say the person was undocumented.” Flavia responds calmly.“It must have burned in the fire.” Benjamin shakes his head.Flávia strokes her half-brother’s hair, “I’m going to call our father. He called a little while ago, and Dr. Braggart showed up to make the announcement. I thought it was you.”“No, I’m fine.” Benjamin smiles weakly.“The police are out there.” Flávia gets up, “They think it was sabotage, like that classic movie.”Benjamin narrows his eyes. Who could have done something like that?Meanwhile, Josias and Elza shake their heads at the young cook who is lying in the hospital bed.“No.” Elza states with certainty, “I don’t know this guy. He is wearing a Dolman, but he is not an employee of the hotel. We need Jane Motta, the manager, to try to identify h
Building My Life Chapter 2519 The Main Suspect Died
The next day, Jane was better and more willing to collaborate. She was very upset when she found out that one of the cooks passed away. But after talking to Elza...Elza was visiting her at her house in Rainbow Garden. Octavio checked Augusto’s backpack so he could go to kindergarten.“There, son. Make the most of your studies.” Octavio bends down and hugs his son, kissing him on the cheek.“Bye, Daddy! Bye, Mommy!” Augusto waves his little hands.The school van honked and Augusto headed outside.Octavio straightens up and closes the door, turning to Elza, “So we have a mysterious cook who wasn’t part of the team?”Jane shakes her head, “Elza, I swear to you I didn’t hire any cooks.”Elza crosses her arms, feeling like Miss Marple, “Hmm... We promoted Ben to the position of sous chef, so someone must have thought there was a vacancy. But this young man should know that. How did he find out? Who told him?”“Was he the one who caused the explosion?” Jane asks interested.“This is the hy
Building My Life Chapter 2520 Someone Sent Him
At the police station, Jane and Elza enter Amoreira’s office with printed sheets in hand.“Come in, ladies!” Amoreira gestures to them. He was reading an issue of Maggiezine.Elza rolls her eyes, “Are you bored, Detective? So we brought you something to distract yourself.” She puts the sheets on the desk.Jane explains, “There are the records from the day before the explosion. Everyone who came in and stayed at our hotel.”Elza adds, “And we also added everyone who requested next day check out as soon as they arrived.”“For sure.” Amoreira takes the pages and starts reading, “If someone stayed at the hotel just to cause the explosion, they would leave the same day.”Jane continues talking, “About the cook hires, nothing like that happened, Detective. No one at the front desk or reception desk identified themselves as a newly hired cook. I never saw that boy who died before, and I learned that Ben Teixeira also denied seeing that boy in the kitchen.”“No, he was probably outside. The i

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,
