In the next issue of Maggiezine, Rodrigo and Nadia graced the cover with the words in bold letters: ‘Another member of the Lafayette-Mountain family on the way!’Maggie was thrilled with the response to her magazine. Online access grew every moment. And her son Henrique showed a school trophy with pride.“Mom, where am I going to hang this trophy?” Henry asks.“We’ll leave it at home, on the bookshelf in the living room, for everyone to see.” Maggie smiled proudly.Adelaide enters her niece’s office, “Maggie... oh, Henrique was awarded.”“Hi, Aunt Addie!” Henrique boasts, “I won the school essay competition!”Adelaide stares at Maggie, “Hmm... That means the talent for writing runs in the family, huh? Do you intend to take over your father’s company?”“For sure. But my cousins Carol and Mary will take care of Maggiezine, yuck.” Henrique shakes himself. He doesn’t want to get involved with ‘women’s magazines’.Maggie and Adelaide burst into laughter. Henrique leaves to show the trophy

At Marçal Publishing, Bernardo kisses his champion son’s forehead. The trophy is on his desk, clearly visible for everyone to see.“My son, writing champion. I predict a bright future for you, Henrique.”“Thanks, Dad.” Henrique is excited. It seems like he is still assimilating the victory, “I’m glad you liked it.”“Of course. You’ll one day replace your old father and run this company, correct?” Bernardo gestures around his office.“You can bet on that!” Henrique hugs his father.Maggie enters the office and smiles at the familiar scene. “How beautiful to see father and son like this...”Henrique breaks the hug, “Mommy, did you come to tell Dad about Aunt Addie?”“What about ‘Aunt Addie’?” Bernardo asks curiously.Maggie takes the trophy, “Son, she’s waiting for you to leave with her. Remember, put the trophy on the shelf in the living room.”“OK. Bye, Dad!” Henrique kisses Bernardo’s cheek and leaves.Bernardo grins, “My puppy. And to think that your mother said he was Jack Motta’s
Building My Life Chapter 2607 Jane’s Shattered Dreams
At Café Montanha, it seems that Isabel has some proposal to make to Adelaide and Amoreira.“What are you talking about, Mrs. Mountain?” Adelaide asks interested.“Mrs. Cardozo, would you allow me to make a storyline for my soap opera based on what you went through?”Adelaide and Amoreira’s eyes widen.“Why do you want to do this?” Adelaide is intrigued.“Because your life story has everything a good soap opera needs: drama, adventure, strong emotions! And most importantly: a happy ending.”“My husband was killed by a car and my sister fell from the balcony of a penthouse!”“For that reason: the villains were punished and the protagonist was rewarded with true love.” Isabel points to Amoreira.Amoreira is embarrassed, “Mrs. Mountain, I don’t know if we want our lives exposed on TV.”Isabel pulls up a chair and sits next to the couple, excited as a cosmetics saleswoman, “Hey, I’m not thinking about using your real names or casting actors who look like you! I’m just thinking about writin

Afterward, she intends to bring together her junior writers to break down the plot into several episodes, among other preparations.Before that happens, Dora shows up at her house, “Is anyone home?”“Come in, Dora!” Isabel calls her.Dora finds her longtime friend typing intently, “Oh, but I’m going to disturb you like this...”Isabel stops typing, “Not exactly. How can I be of help, my friend?”“Melissa informed you?” Dora approaches the computer, “We’re throwing Nadia and Rod’s baby shower. Do you want to help us with that wonderful walnut cake that only you know how to make?”Isabel feels her stomach growl at the prospect of eating walnut cake, “Hmm... Sure, let me handle it. It’ll be a pleasure.”“I imagine Francisco is very excited. He will be a grandfather. What about Jack and Veronica?”Isabel shakes her hea
Building My Life Chapter 2609 Felipe Does Not Live Up to His Role
Octavio almost went deaf from his crazy wife’s scream.“Jane, keep your voice down. I’m in my office.”“And?” Jane cackled, “So I can speak in the desired tone!”“No, my helpers will listen to you!” Octavio reasons with her, “Why do you want me to talk to Josias?”“Elza doesn’t want to recommend me as a replacement!” Jane screams at the top of her lungs, “She’s thinking of other candidates to be the hotel’s next manager!”“And that’s what she’s supposed to do, it’s her prerogative.” Octavio explains patiently, “She can’t give the impression that you’re the favorite. It needs to be fair.”“Fair? Is there anyone more qualified than me?” Jane disdains the others.Octavio tsk with his tongue, “Honey, you took the promotion for granted just because we are friends with Josias. It’s not quite like that. Josias is my best friend, but I won’t take advantage of the bond for personal favors. I hope Elza isn’t picking up on your screams, or she’ll become even more convinced that you’re not qualif
Building My Life Chapter 2610 Olivia Will Burn the Sandwiches
In Jane’s office, she felt extremely offended by Elza’s question.“How absurd, woman! Is it so difficult to understand that I want to be your replacement? I didn’t think I needed to be more obvious, I was afraid of scaring you with my frankness!”Elza shakes her head, “I’m sorry, Jane. But I couldn’t just give you my position without figuring out if you’re ready. And remember: my son will have the final say.”“You can put in a good word of me to Josias.” Jane blinks.“He knows you’ve been my helper since the beginning.” Elza explains patiently, “But you’re still young, and you have Augusto to raise. What would happen if you got pregnant again?”“I won’t be, I swear!” Jane pleads, “And as for Augusto, well, he’s already big, he’s already going to school...”“I know. But when I started working as general manager of this hotel, the fact that João Paulo was already finishing high school and going to college made it easier for me. Don’t worry, Jane, it’s not decided yet. But if you don’t h

At Crystal Blue, Cláudio and Caroline talk in his office.“Tell me what ails you, my friend.”“Did you change the decor?” Caroline narrows her eyes.“I didn’t know you used to come to this office when the other one worked here.”Caroline smiles slightly, “I must have come in once or twice when I was talking to Felipe. Anyway, I wanted to know what happened with the photos. Did you get any more?”“No.” Cláudio smiles lightly.“And you continued to pervert Mrs. Vasquez?”“Neither. It seems like she got scared and stopped lusting after me.”Cláudio turns on the computer and sits at the desk, “What about you, Carol? How did your situation with Sofia resolve?”“We still haven’t spoken, but my father said we should cool down and make up later,” Caroline says with displeasure.“Your father is a wise man.” Cláudio smiles kindly.“He should have been wise enough to realize that the Vasquez family cannot be trusted.” Caroline crosses her arms, “If he knew the truth... He said he would call off

In the canteen of the Teodoro building, Rosemary and Thierry continue to talk.“Rose, can we start our story again?” Thierry asks lovingly, “Last year, Caroline showed up at my house informing me that you asked for me. That means you don’t hate me, correct?”“No. Time has helped me forgive and forget.” Rosemary smiles.“Excellent. What about Patrick?”Rosemary is wary, “I haven’t heard good things about him. I heard he’s the new maître d’ at the Crystal Blue. My congratulations to him.”Thierry nods, “Yes, he is very well off. But he doesn’t care about you. I’m just afraid he’ll change his mind when he sees us together.”“If that happens, we won’t care.” Rosemary frowns, “I’m not going to give reason to those who only value it when they lose it.”“OK. Let’s take it slow for now. How about dinner at my mansion? Maybe my parents would like to get to know you better.”“It will be a pleasure. I’ll be waiting.”Rosemary and Thierry stand still for a while, and then he decides to give her a

Chapter 3210 Josias Junior in Action
At Vaztrans, William questioned Sofia about the company’s finances, which are now in order since her parents stopped interfering.“Uh, I think the explanation is simple. With my father no longer here, we don’t have that urge to prove we’re always the best public transportation company in the city.” Sofia sat face to face with him. “I remember my father would always freak out when people mocked the old bus models we had.”“Yeah, and he would waste money buying expensive buses that we couldn’t afford to maintain.” William accepted this explanation for now. “So, Sofia, you wouldn’t be offended if I said your father was just playing at being a manager?”Sofia made a face. “My father managed Vaztrans since its inception. I’m here to continue his legacy.”“I know you’ll do a good job.” William leaned back in his chair. “I just want us to keep things this way now that we’re in control.”Sofia crossed her arms. “Great. I hope that doesn’t mean any insinuation on your part – or from that littl

Vaztrans, morning. Brand new buses come in and out of the garage, with drivers and fare collectors smiling in their new uniforms. In William’s office (which used to belong to Olivia), he scratched his forehead while researching and checking the financial spreadsheets. Sofia, greeted like a diva by the staff, entered the office. “Good morning to you too! Have a good day at work!” She approached the desk. “Good morning, Will! What’s with that long face?” “I’m not making a long face. I’m making a face of someone who doesn’t understand this accounting,” William replied, still looking at the monitor. “What’s the problem? Are we broke again?” Sofia’s eyes widened. “No.” William finally looked at her, with a mischievous smile. “We have so much slack that we could pay off one of the installments of the loan we took from Josias if we wanted to.” Sofia continued with wide eyes. “Oh, that’s incredible, right?” William kept smiling. “Sofia, you’re not getting my astonishment. The point is
Chapter 3208 A Night in the Cell to Reflect
At Rocha Constructions, Josias and Alan faced a dilemma: should they start a war against the Borges brothers? Thierry noticed their initial hesitation. “If it’s too much for you two, forget it. J.J. and I will manage on our own. Maybe Daryl can help us.” The mention of Daryl made Josias react, “Wait a minute, Thierry. We never said we wouldn’t help you. On the contrary, I feel the same way: that truck was deliberately sent against the supermarket to cause that accident.” “Yeah, a way to force J.J. to choose between focusing on the farm or on Vasconcelos. No one but the Borges brothers was interested in that.” Thierry smiled slightly. “The problem is we have no proof.” Josias put his hands in his pockets. “The truck was on the street, there are no surveillance cameras nearby.” Alan asked, “But J.J. decided to stay with Vasconcelos, right?” “Exactly. That was our way of getting back at them.” Josias nodded. “So, our only form of investigation will be to observe how Reynaldo Borges
Chapter 3207 The Law Must Be Obeyed
Just out of spite, David was taken to the Happiness Slum police station, where Dylan was now interrogating him and pressing him against the wall. David was shaking while handcuffed, thinking he might have a chance to escape. “What is going on here? LET ME GO! This station is not equipped to handle my problems!” Dylan sat at the desk, keeping one of his subordinates nearby, standing by the door. “Oh really? It just so happens that it’s the opposite: Commissioner Tavares said he doesn’t want to see your face at the headquarters!” David was horrified by the remark. “What does that mean? We can’t allow such abuse! Call my dad immediately!” Dylan, grinning with delight, leaned back in his chair. “Mr. Souza, it was your father who ordered us to remove you from the Rocha Constructions building.” “That’s IMPOSSIBLE! My dad never ordered Alan’s arrest!” “Isn’t it because Alan Campos Rocha has never given the police any reason to detain him?” Dylan asked ironically. “And on what charges
Chapter 3206 Is Daniela Pregnant?
At the management office of Lafayette Supermarket, Thierry was signing a fat check for a member of the Cintra family. The man, who was the victim’s brother, was staring at everyone with disdain and arrogance. “You have to understand that we can no longer shop at this supermarket, right?” he kept saying. “My poor brother used to come here because the wine prices were cheaper, but now... we’re going to have to resort to the little store closer to home, even if it costs more!” Nadia was outraged. “Mr. Cintra, don’t be arrogant!” Mr. Cintra raised his chin at Nadia. “I can sue you for this too, you know?” “No, you can’t,” Thierry emphasized, tearing the check from the invoice and hastily extending it to him. “Take it and get out of our sight!” “You are in the wrong and still want to play the victim!” Mr. Cintra simply felt entitled to cluck. “Thank goodness my brother didn’t die! Otherwise, we would tear this crappy supermarket down! It was much better when the Ramos family ran this
Chapter 3205 At the Height of Despair
The next day, Daniela was talking to Dr. Matthew Hogan at General Hospital. “Alright, Daniela,” he said with a smile. “I hope we don't find anything serious in your tests.” “Could I... be pregnant?” Daniela asked in a whisper. Talking to Matthew inevitably reminded her of Silvana Hogan, his mother and a famous obstetrician. “My mother is now retired and enjoying the Bahamas,” Matthew said kindly. “If your test results indicate you’re expecting, we’ll refer you to the appropriate department.” “Thank you so much, Dr. Hogan!” Daniela extended her hand, and Matthew shook it. A few moments later, Daniela was walking through the corridors, thinking about the possibility of being pregnant. She even placed her right hand on her belly, already imagining herself carrying the heir of the Reis family. She smiled mischievously as she recalled the countless nights of passionate love where Pedro ravaged her mercilessly, only stopping when the alarm rang the next morning. How could she not
Chapter 3204 Someone is Not Feeling Well
Melissa worried about her parents' objection regarding the twins getting involved with their paternal family. "Mom, Dad, I understand your concern." Melissa broke the silence. "But in a way, they're right. I don't have the right to completely cut them off from Kelvin. Besides, they have another little brother." Dora looked at her wristwatch. "At this hour, Mary must be in the penthouse, keeping an eye on Anthony." "Oh, did they say they were going to do that?" Melissa smiled slightly. "Yes, someone texted them asking for it. Probably Kelvin," Simeon replied seriously. Dora explained, "Daughter, let's hope Daryl doesn't take advantage of the closeness to poison our grandchildren's minds." Melissa was alarmed. "What are you saying, Mom? I won't allow that!" "No, I know you won't allow it." Dora frowned. "That's why I hope you visit Kelvin and set some boundaries." "If I bring this up, I'll unintentionally be starting a stupid war," Melissa retorted. "They know their boundaries.
Chapter 3203 Long-Term Consequences
At Rocha Constructions, Sofia is eager to prove that she was right all along about Suzy. She leaned back against Alan again, wanting information. "Dear, before we were interrupted, you were saying something about me being right to be suspicious of Suzy Cogo. I knew that smartass was planning something!" Alan scratched the back of his neck. "I feel like she was the one Everaldo mentioned in the prophecy." Sofia's eyes lit up. "That's true! Suzy is the only one investing out there! Do you think she will want a slice of Rocha Constructions?" "I sincerely hope my dad doesn't agree to sell any shares. I won't do that. Better warn Caio." Alan became serious. "Well, I'll have to put up with her at Vaztrans." Sofia sighed, feeling discouraged. Alan turned to his wife with curiosity. "Speaking of which, dear, we haven't heard any news about Vaztrans being in trouble this year. Did you finally manage to control the spending?" Sofia looked confused. "Uh, I don't know what you're talking a

Sofia reacted, obviously pleased, when none other than her husband stated that she was right.Unable to resist any longer, she sat on Alan's lap and delivered THAT delicious, passionate kiss.When the kiss ended, Alan was perplexed, eyes wide."What was that for?" He asked, lost."You silly!" Sofia began to laugh. "This is your reward for believing in me. And tonight, you'll have another reward that's under my panties—"The last phrase was clearly heard by Caio, who was opening the door at that moment.Sofia quickly bounced off Alan's lap, trying to disguise the intimacy. Caio blushed slightly, smiling awkwardly.Alan smiled nervously. "Wow, everyone decided to start early in 2012! Good morning, cousin."Caio avoided looking at Sofia. "Good morning, cousin. Do we have any updates regarding our annual meeting?""My dad appointed me president – again." Alan's cat-like grin indicated that he wasn't complaining. "And we'll have all the important people, just like last year."Caio's face g
