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
Building My Life Chapter 2521 Taking Action
A few days passed. The police continued to investigate the attack at the Rocha Hotel. ‘Attack’ was the word coined because of the mysterious cook who died, still without being identified. A round of mystery hung in the air...Meanwhile, Benjamin was recovering with Flávia keeping an eye on him. Reuben bought an extra mattress to sleep on the floor while his uncle slept in his bed.But while Benjamin was on ‘vacation’ because of the restaurant’s renovation, Reuben still had to wake up early to work. With that, Reuben’s cell phone woke up a sleeping Benjamin who was dreaming of chocolate truffles.“Hmm...” Benjamin rubs his eyes. He then realizes that he had removed the blanket and was lying naked next to his nephew.Reuben sat on the mattress and didn’t see his uncle, he was putting on his underwear, “Did I wake you up again, uncle?”Benjamin smiles in patience, “Don’t worry, Reuben. You need to work. I’m the busybody here. Your mother doesn’t want me sleeping in the living room.”“In
Building My Life Chapter 2522 The Corpse Is Identified
Josias gives Reuben a ride to the Rocha Constructions headquarters. As Josias passes through the parking lot, those in the area recognize the company president’s car and wave in greeting.“I feel as important as you, uncle.” Reuben jokes.Josiah smiles too. Reuben always makes his day.The car radio was playing “Speed of Sound” by Coldplay. Reuben bobbed his head to the rhythm of the song.But when Josias finished maneuvering and fitting the car into one of the spaces, the announcer began to speak, “We regret the interruption of the program, but we have an update on the attack on the Rocha Hotel. It seems that a relative has finally arrived to identify the cook killed in the explosion! Detective Amoreira requested secrecy and the names will not be revealed for now so as not to harm the progress of the investigation. More information you will find—”Josias turns off the radio. They both get out of the car.“Uncle Josias, you should run after the information.” Reuben urges him.“I don’t
Building My Life Chapter 2523 Pushing Their Luck
Francisco notices that Shirley is looking at Neilton as if she wants to send a message through her gaze.“Will someone tell me what happened here?” He asks seriously.“Nothing happened, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton begins to leave.But the customers weren’t going to let that go, “LIE! This crazy lady called the waiter an ex-con and slapped him!”“She’s crazy!”“Throw her out of here!”Francisco crosses his arms, “Well, Shirley, it looks like you’re not welcome here. Leave, before I kick you out.”“You would never kick the love of your life out!” Shirley exclaims, feeling entitled to be offended.Isabel enters at that time and listens to the last sentence. She is indignant and approaches the scene with long strides.“What did you call my husband? Woman, you better stop being crazy before I convince everybody to admit you to a mental institution!”Shirley smiles arrogantly at Isabel, “And on what basis can you put me in an asylum?”“You said you love Frank, but last year, we saw you kissing a

Josias is now receiving messages from Reuben.“Lisandro Torres called. In other words, his team. They want to know if you would be willing to give an interview commenting on the attack at the Rocha Hotel.”Josias smiles kindly, “Tell Lisandro Torres that I’ll be flattered. Let them decide the date of the recordings so I can attend and answer their questions.”“Wow, Uncle Josias is going to be on TV...” Reuben makes a note in his electronic diary, “Aunt Melissa wants to know if the twins can spend the weekend with their father in Victoria.”“Yes, they miss him.” Josias nods, wondering what Kelvin must be like, “But tell Melissa to check that Kelvin isn’t taking sluts to his apartment, in front of the kids. I don’t want Ignacio to become depraved.”“Noted.” Reuben nods, “Tomorrow, you have a meeting about the next real estate project that will be built in Guarapari.”“Yes, let everyone involved know. Don’t forget to call Caio.”“OK, I’m on my way.” Reuben puts the electronic diary in hi

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,
