Building My Life Chapter 2538 Suspicious Attitudes
Brigitte rolls her eyes when she hears Dylan react negatively to her request.“Yes, bro, I want to know about another man. I can’t marry another woman.” Brigitte turns to him in annoyance.Amoreira smiles at her daughter, “What do you want to know about him, daughter?”“I want to know what happened in his life so I can approach him appropriately.” Brigitte turns to her father with a dreamy expression, “He’s the biggest sensation at university, but he doesn’t seem to know it. The only thing I know is that he is the son of the player Will Campos, the one my mother drooled over in the 80s before she passed away.”“That is true.” Amoreira nods, having a memory of his late wife who died of cancer.Dylan scoffs, “Sis, if this guy isn’t aware of your admiration for him, couldn’t that mean something else?”“Don’t even think about it!” Brigitte turns red with anger, “At no point was it considered that Caio was ‘on the other team’. Even some friends I have confirmed that Caio is very virile and
Building My Life Chapter 2539 Time for Combat
At Rocha Hotel, everyone applauds the reopening of the kitchen. Elza, Benjamin, Flávia, and Jane are present along with all the surviving employees and cooks.Elza is with a microphone, giving a speech, “Guys, I would normally ask that we observe a moment of silence out of respect for the deceased, but we don’t know his identity. And to make matters worse, it’s suspected that he was the one who blew up the kitchen to begin with. So, let’s just thank God for those who survived and continue with our routine, serving our guests with delicious food!”“That’s right!” Everyone applauds once again.And so, with no one giving a damn about the supposed José Zenith, the cooks return to duty. Benjamin is the first to turn on the stove to fry potatoes, and when nothing happens, everyone just laughs.“We’ll never have explosions again, guys!” Benjamin vibrates.Flavia approaches them, “Careful, bro. Don’t play with luck. Continue with protective measures, and maintain vigilance. It all happened be
Building My Life Chapter 2540 Police Reinforcement
At Rocha Hotel, guests gradually returned to eating in the restaurant. Some guests were still wary and ordered room service.Benjamin was calm preparing lobster with caper sauce. Jane enters the busy kitchen talking to Octavio.“There is our sous chef, dear, working as if nothing had happened.”“But it happened, and I came to talk to you about it.” Octavio states seriously, “I haven’t told you yet, but William and I are following a lead.”“How interesting.” Jane smiles at her hubby.“We strongly suspect that Daryl has messed up yet again.” Octavio completes the news.Jane is perplexed, “Huh? Honey, the police ruled out—”“That’s the big problem: the police don’t want to see the obvious.”“Maybe the police don’t want to make Daryl think he’s being watched so he can continue to act and make a mistake in the future.” Jane tries to be optimistic.“That makes sense, but I can’t sit still, no matter how much Josias wants to.” Octavio sighs, “And there’s more: Diane is also suspecting that h
Building My Life Chapter 2541 Sisters' Quarrel
At Crystal Blue, Diane was serving customers who were getting off work to relax. The waiters who would work the night shift were arriving.Felipe and Daryl, tired from the morning’s journey, approach the counter, simulating yawns.“Jeez!” Diane laughs as she mixes martinis, “Was the drudgery so horrible today?”“Not so much, but the fact that we’ll have to live with Shirley when we return home hurts my soul,” Felipe grumbles.“She’s your grandmother, son.” Daryl drinks the drink.“Calm down people. With strength and resignation, we’ll overcome this.”Ulysses appears and smiles when he sees the family together, “Here you are. I needed to make an announcement! Diane, can you serve me the same thing?”Diane serves the drink silently and somberly, still upset about knowing that Ulysses was the mastermind behind the explosion at the Rocha Hotel.Ulysses notices Diane’s detachment, but decides to accept the drink and deliver the news, “I found an apartment for your mother, Daryl. She can mo
Building My Life Chapter 2542 An Unreal Hypothesis
The next day, the news had already spread throughout the media.Amoreira took advantage of the great distraction to continue working on the case of the Rocha Hotel explosion in secret. Vernon and João Paulo were too busy trying to cover Shirley’s suicide.However, the Mountain family was in a dilemma...Maggie was in her bathrobe in her apartment, in the living room, listening to the song “Sere Nere”, by Tiziano Ferro. A cup of steaming coffee was in her hands. Maggie was thinking about the events.Anyone who expected her to shed false tears of grief was wrong.Bernardo approaches her, already wearing a suit and black tie, “Hello, dear. Did you sleep well?”“Would it be cruel if I told you that I have never slept so well since the first day my mother accused me of being a whore?”Bernardo sits next to her, “People will be surprised if you don’t shed at least a few tears, dear.”Maggie sighs, “Anyone who knows me will find it strange otherwise. I’ll even be accused of hypocrisy, of act
Building My Life Chapter 2543 What Really Happened
At Isabel’s house, Flávia prepared a cornmeal cake quickly and simply. Isabel brewed the coffee.“Sounds like a nightmare, girl.” Isabel comments, “Tragedy always follows the Mountain family, especially on Daryl’s side.”“Meanwhile, you are increasingly happy with Francisco.” Flávia smiles at her.“That is true.” Isabel continues to smile.“I think the cake is ready.” Flávia checks the oven and turns it off.“I’m going to take the thermos. It seems like I’m hearing voices...” Isabel strains her ears, but doesn’t recognize the voice of the man who arrived.She takes the thermos to the living room. The radio is playing “Photograph” by Nickelback.Kelvin is the person talking to Francisco and Reuben.“My nephew, thank you for coming.” Francisco hugs Kelvin, “I’m so sorry.”“Thanks, Uncle Frank. Hello, Reuben. Wow, you look big!” Kelvin greets Reuben while still hugging his uncle.“It’s the gym at Rocha Mansion,” Reuben responds without realizing he quoted Josias.The hug is broken.“Kelv
Building My Life Chapter 2544 Don’t Hurry to Blame Shirley
At Café Montanha, Thierry leaves the men’s bathroom and comes across Neilton.“Mr. Lafayette? Can I have a word with you?”“Yes, you can, young man. What’s your name?” Thierry is curious.“My name is Neilton, but everyone calls me Neil. I wanted to show you something that can’t be done in public. It’s a very embarrassing picture, but it has to do with the late Mrs. Mountain.”Thierry looks back, “Look, it’s going to be weird two males in the bathroom, but if you want...”“There’s no better place, unfortunately.” Neilton also thought about how strange it would be, but the moment was urgent.Then the two men enter and close the door.Inside, Neilton takes the photo he carries with him from his jeans pocket.Thierry unfolds the photo and gets horrified, “Hey, is this...?”“It’s Shirley Mountain, the woman who racially abused me, thinking I was an ex-felon working on parole just because of my skin,” Neilton answers spitefully, “There she is, screaming in pain and pleasure, while another g
Building My Life Chapter 2545 Going to the Funeral
Josias is in his office at Rocha Mansion watching the news online. Shirley’s death has been the biggest sensation.“What a waste of life.” He shakes his head, “This woman came here to cause trouble and decided to end her life in a horrifying way.”Melissa enters the office, “Honey, Maggie informed me that Kelvin came. I sent the twins to see their father.”Josias smiles at her, “That’s good, sweetheart. They need to see their father.”“It’s a shame that they see their father in such a horrendous situation.” Melissa sighs.“Honey, since Shirley was your mother-in-law, you might want to show up at the funeral,” Josias speaks kindly.Melissa, however, refuses, “No, honey. I don’t want to cause discomfort. Daryl could cause a scandal.”“Why would Daryl make a fuss? Maybe he’ll accuse you of something if you DON’T show up.”“I don’t know yet. I’d rather stay here.” Melissa is insecure.Josias stands up and hugs her, “Calm down, my dear. You’re the Lady of Lagoon City, remember that.”Melis

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,
