Building My Life Chapter 2528 Confirming the Affair
William visits Café Montanha. He coincides with finding Flávia talking to Neilton.“Neil, I know you’re about to become an adult.” Flávia advises him, “But it’s important that you make the right decisions. Next time someone insults you because of your condition or skin color, tell Izzy or Francisco. Especially when it’s that witch, Shirley Mountain.”“I don’t think she’ll come here anymore.” Neilton smiles at her.William approaches with a frown, “What did you say, Flávia? Did Shirley Mountain mistreat this orphan?”Flávia turns to her cousin and smiles, “Hi, Will. This is Neil, the boy I told you about.”“Great pleasure.” William extends his hand with a charismatic smile.Neilton is in awe, “Wow, the legendary goalscorer Will Campos!”“This has been going on for a while now...” William is amused.“Even so, your history will never be erased!” Neil states adoringly, “There are guys at the orphanage who want to be just like you.”“May God bless your plans,” William heads to a table.Nei
Building My Life Chapter 2529 An Uncomfortable Arrangement
At Ulysses’ apartment, Shirley casually says that she came to get her things, but Adelaide and Ulysses are appalled by this.Shirley is amused by their astonished faces, “What’s wrong, guys? Are you suspecting something?”She turns to Adelaide, “Sis, you don’t mind me staying here for a few days with my brother-in-law, do you? You know, I checked out of the Rocha Hotel because no one served me well.”Adelaide composes herself, “If I know you, sister, you must have been very rude to the maids.”“I just wanted them to do their job.” Shirley shrugs, “But that’s what happens when Josias hires family and friends instead of qualified people to be personnel manager.”Adelaide stares at Ulysses, “Thank you, dear, for hosting my sister. But I believe she’ll now go to the Mountain Penthouse, where her son lives, correct?”“Yes, I don’t want to disturb the couple!” Shirley smiles widely as if she’s in a Japanese anime.Ulysses leaves the living room hurriedly, “I’ll go get your things, sister-in

At Crystal Blue, Felipe and Diane scream as if they belong to a group of baboons.“AAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!” Diane goes hoarse, “A MILLION TIMES NO! The witch Shirley will not stay in my home!”“DIANE!” Daryl stands up, indignant, “Respect my mother! She is your mother-in-law!”“And?” Diane feels her eyes boil with anger, “What does she intend to do in our lives? Where has she been all this time?”“I don’t know.” Daryl shakes his head, “Listen, she tried to stay at my uncle’s apartment, but my aunt Adelaide is here because of a convention their company is having.”Felipe smiles mischievously, “If there wasn’t a convention, would ‘grandma’ Shirley stay at Uncle Ulysses’ apartment?”“Son, don’t insinuate such disgusting things,” Daryl complains, far from the truth.“Father, you need to listen to us.” Felipe pleads, “If Josias Rocha finds out that you sheltered your mother, he will attack us. Our kitchen would probably be the next one to explode.”“The gas cylinders are in here.” Daryl smile

Olivia enters Café Montanha and is also surprised by Neilton in the service.“Good afternoon, ma’am? What will your request be?”“Are you new here? Congratulations on the opportunity.” Olivia chooses a table.Isabel, who was at the cash register, rolls her eyes.Why do people react as if it were something out of this world for a black person to get a job?“I’ll have a grilled sandwich and cappuccino, please. Don’t overdo the cheese, I need to lose weight.”“You don’t need it!”Neilton and Olivia are surprised by the voice.Cláudio approaches them and greets the new waiter, “How are you? Cláudio Guzman, I’m a regular here.”“Neilton, but everyone calls me Neil.” Neilton smiles, enjoying meeting new people.“Bring me what the lady asked for, and put it all on my bill,” Claudio asks gallantly as he sits down.Olivia stops herself from laughing at the coincidence. Wasn’t she just telling her husband that it was impossible to meet Cláudio to carry out Daryl’s order?“Mr. Guzman, what a ple
Building My Life Chapter 2532 The Husband Is Jealous of His Mistress
At Crystal Blue, Daryl gets up after spending hours sorting out the restaurant’s accounting.Just as he thinks about stretching his legs, the door opens and Ulysses walks in.“Did they let you in?” Daryl jokes.“Your son showed me the place.” Ulysses is not in the mood to joke, “Daryl, I need to know if it will be possible to shelter your mother in the penthouse.”Daryl has a slight suspicion about Ulysses’ haste, but shakes his head, “Don’t worry, uncle. If you see my mother, tell her she will stay at the penthouse.”“I thought you would say she was welcome.” Ulysses analyzes him, “Your wife and son don’t agree?”“They reacted negatively at first, but they understood that my mother cannot live under the bridge.” Daryl smiles bitterly.“OK, then everything is fine.” Ulysses reacts, obviously relieved.This makes Daryl ask, “Uncle, are you all right?”Ulysses catches himself. He decides to be cautious, “You know how your aunt doesn’t get along with your mother.”“I never knew. I always
Building My Life Chapter 2533 Until the Last Consequences
The day came when Helen had to return home, or rather, to Vernon’s apartment. She is resting on the bed in the maid’s room, with Vernon, Elza, João Paulo, and Sandra around her. The maid’s room is not a spacious place, but everyone wants to know how Helen is recovering. “Guys, don’t worry about me.” Helen smiles weakly, “I’ll be fine. I just need to rest.” “Can we play with my dolls later, Helen?” Sandra asks with an angelic smile. “Yes, Sandra, later... Now I’m going to get some sleep.” Helen caresses Sandra’s hair as if she were her mother. Elza feels a lump in her throat, “Guys, let’s let Helen rest.” “Count on us for anything.” Vernon blinks and leaves. Elza and Sandra go out with him. João Paulo stays. After the door is closed, João Paulo kneels and comes face to face with Helen. “And then...” Helen swallows hard and her eyes get teary, “Are you going to look for an apartment for me? Or do you still need me to babysit your daughter?” “I need you as the mother of my daugh
Building My Life Chapter 2534 Robbery at the Teodoro Building
In Vernon’s apartment, João Paulo gathers his parents to announce what he has decided. They are on the couch while the announcer is standing. “Son, we look forward to your statement,” Elza states. “Mom, Dad...” João Paulo smiles, “Contrary to what some might think, I intend to marry Helen as soon as she feels better.” “Ah, dear son!” Elza gets up and hugs her youngest son. “This is my boy!” Vernon smiles proudly. Elza breaks the hug and starts to speak hurriedly, “Do you already have a date? Have you contacted Green Park Church? Did you talk to Father Mathias? What about the cake, the dress, the music...?” “Keep calm, Mom,” João Paulo chuckles, “One step at a time. By now, we’ll have the ceremony location.” “Where?” “In the hotel.” Vernon and Elza break their smiles. They both scratch their ears, thinking they misunderstood. “I think I’m going deaf.” Vernon jokes, “I heard you say you want to get married where you lost your second baby.” João Paulo smiles confidently, “I’m n
Building My Life Chapter 2535 An Extravagant Guest
At the Mountain Penthouse, Daryl stands with his arms crossed watching Shirley eating the breakfast SHE prepared. Diane had made toast with honey, but Shirley decided on pancakes with lots of syrup.“Do you want a pancake, my grandson?” Shirley hands Felipe a piece on her fork.Felipe stands up abruptly from the dinner table and shouts, “You know where to stick that pancake!”Felipe strides out of the dining room. Daryl is already dressed for work while Shirley is still in her robe and slippers.“Mom, you woke up later and are still having breakfast as if you had nothing left to eat.” Daryl complains, “It’s already nine o’clock in the morning. It’s too late for breakfast.”“If your wife made a decent breakfast...” Shirley hints snidely, “I remember Melissa always had a maid. Why don’t you hire one?”“The penthouse costs don’t allow me to have a maid.” Daryl says flatly, “I’m working as an employee of Cláudio Guzman.”“That will be for now.” Shirley shrugs. She eats the pancake.“Do yo

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,
