Building My Life Chapter 2683 Protecting the Company’s Interests
Everyone enters Adelaide’s office to check on the call she received from Damascene Lawyers.As she picked up the mouthpiece, Josias got the idea. “Isn’t it Brigitte calling?”Adelaide smiles hopefully and answers the call. “Hello?”On the other side, Brigitte was calling on her cell phone. Helen was next to her, drinking passion fruit tea. “Hello, Addie. This is Brigitte.”“Brigitte, thank God! Mr. Rocha guessed it was you.” Adelaide sighed in relief. “We’re concerned about the whereabouts of Helen Queiroz.”“She’s here with me, wanting to sue this so-and-so named Karen,” Brigitte explained. “She is very upset and a nervous wreck.”“Her husband is here.” Adelaide puts her hand on the mouthpiece. “Helen is at Damascene Lawyers.”“Thank God!” João Paulo wipes the sweat from his forehead.“She wants to sue Karen.” Adelaide returns to the call, “Brigitte, can you explain to me what happened?”“I’ll summarize the story: Karen appeared at the sales stand in Ibrahim Square, insulted Helen, s

João Paulo and Helen return home together at night. Sandra was on the couch watching cartoons.“Mommy, Daddy! You’re here!”“Good, daughter. Fortunately.” Helen went to the sofa and hugged Sandra tightly.“What is it, Mommy?”“No big deal, daughter. Mom missed you.” Helen continued hugging Sandra.“OK. When I finish watching the cartoon, I’m going upstairs to take a shower. Do we have dinner?”João Paulo gives the idea, “Let’s order pizza at Pizzeria Campos, what do you think?”“YAY!” Sandra gets up from the sofa and runs to João Paulo, hugging him. “Thanks, Dad!”“Anytime, daughter. Now go up the stairs, no running, and go take your shower.”“OK!” Sandra obeyed. The cartoon wasn’t finished yet, but the desire to eat pizza spoke louder.Helen took advantage and grabbed the remote control, turning off the TV. João Paulo sat next to her.“I didn’t want to ask you during the ride.” João Paulo wrapped his arm around his wife. “Do you really intend to sue her?”“I want you to write the mos
Building My Life Chapter 2685 Who Will Bear the Loss
The next morning, the doorbell at the Mountain Penthouse sounded too early for Felipe’s liking.He appeared in the living room, scratching his eyes sleepily, unwilling to answer the door.First, he decided to go to the landline and dial the building’s entrance.“Hello, concierge? Who did you let up? It’s too early for visitors, don’t you think?”“I’m sorry, Mr. Mountain, but the person assured you that you were waiting for him. It’s Octavio Motta. Should I call the police?”Felipe frowned. He wasn’t close to Octavio, so it was difficult for him to think of a reason for the Chief Architect to visit him. “It’s fine, I’ll answer it. But next time, don’t let anyone pass this hour of the day. My uncle is still sleeping.”After saying goodbye, Felipe answered the door before Octavio broke the doorbell.“The bell won’t make money if you press it over and over again!”“Good morning, Young Mountain!” Octavio smiles ironically, already dressed in a suit and tie. “God helps those who rise early,
Building My Life Chapter 2686 Understanding the Full Picture
At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin appeared, still wearing a terracotta-colored robe and scratching his eyes with sleep. Octavio was upset. Is today Sunday, so everyone wakes up this late?“Good morning, Mr. Motta.” Kelvin sat in the armchair. “Felipe said you wanted to talk to me?”“Exactly. I need you to listen to me and not make drama for Josias, please.” Octavio leaned forward, getting straight to the point.Kelvin smiled, raising the left corner of his mouth. “Does this have anything to do with you meddling in my brother Daryl’s affairs and Josias not liking it?”“I’m convinced that Josias wouldn’t mind now that your dangerous brother cannot harm me.” Octavio defends himself. “But I was always a loyal friend to Josias, unlike Daryl who decided to ruin everything.”“You didn’t come here to talk about my brother who isn’t here to defend himself, did you?” Kelvin yawned.“No, I came here to talk about you trying to ruin my best friend’s life by meddling in his family life, using the
Building My Life Chapter 2687 A Clueless Dreamer
Karen showed up at Café Montanha wanting a good cup of coffee after being released from prison. As Francisco, Isabel, and Neilton didn’t yet know her, they attended to her without prejudice. The radio played the song “Wiseman”, by James Blunt.“A cappuccino, please.”“Coming...” Francisco starts preparing the drink.“And what would you like to eat, my dear?” Isabel smiled gently.“Nothing for now, thank you,” Karen replied somewhat aloofly. She knows she’s talking to Kelvin’s relatives...She read Maggiezine enough to know that the elderly but still handsome man who prepared the cappuccino was the uncle of the man she wanted.Maggie and Henrique appeared and sat next to Karen. “Good morning, Izzy. Please, communicate with my writer to send summaries of upcoming episodes of ‘Love Spins the World’. Hey Neil, congratulations on the honor!”Neilton chuckles, “I don’t know where you got such a handsome actor to play ME. I’m nothing like that...”Maggie laughs heartily. “Don’t sell yourself
Building My Life Chapter 2688 Don’t Sue Me, Please!
At Café Montanha, Karen finished her coffee and paid for it.“Come back often, darling!” Isabel said goodbye to her.Before Karen left, she heard Maggie’s voice.“Izzy, did you hear about the crazy woman who attacked Helen at my aunt’s company?”“Oh, Maggie, people have been talking. It seems that the scandal was right there in the square! As I work here, I didn’t see it... there aren’t any stands today.”“No, Helen must be resting at home. And they say there will be a lawsuit.”Karen opened her eyes wide and hurriedly withdrew.Isabel continued, “If Helen sues the crazy woman for moral damages, she’ll win without a doubt.”Maggie shook her head. “Where is the unity of women?”“Only Kelvin to explain something like that,” Isabel commented.By coincidence, Kelvin was approaching the coffee shop. And he caught a glimpse of Karen running away desperately as if she were running from a ghost or the police.But as her back was turned to him, Kelvin didn’t recognize her and entered Café Mont
Building My Life Chapter 2689 The Last Troublesome Woman
A few days passed. Neither Adelaide nor Karen took the initiative to call to clarify and resolve the confusion. They are withdrawn, afraid of making the situation worse by exchanging insults and verbal – or even physical – aggression.With that, Helen felt encouraged to return to work, and there she was, looking beautiful and smiling at a sales stand, located in Ibrahim Square. It didn’t matter if it was hot, there was Helen Queiroz selling perfumes to those who walked around the street.João Paulo kissed her before going to work. “Honey, when you need me, I can give you a ride home.”“Don’t worry, dear. The company has someone who comes here to dismantle the stand.” Helen replied.“OK. Have a good day at work. And remember what we agreed...”“Call someone before you disappear.” Helen smiled slightly. “Again, I apologize for disappearing like that.”“I know there are times when we feel desperate and don’t know how to act, but do you understand me, dear?” João Paulo kissed her cheek ag
Building My Life Chapter 2690 I Feel Like I Still Love You
Helen could hardly believe it when she realized that what she least wanted would happen: a meeting between her and Karen.Behold, the madwoman is approaching with great strides, crossing Ibrahim Square as if she were at the Olympics.“HELEN! For the love of Christ, I beg you! Cancel this ridiculous lawsuit, we can resolve this civilly!”The people around them stare at Karen in amazement, not understanding what she means by ‘civility’ when she is screaming like an inmate of a mental hospital.Customers hurriedly pay for the perfumes and leave, afraid of being attacked by the crazy woman.“Look what you’re doing!” Helen complained. “You were hired to be a salesperson, but you’re scaring away buyers. Get out of here, now!”“Mrs. Cardozo hasn’t called me yet.” Karen whimpered.Helen smiled wryly. “Oh really? I wonder why? How unfair Mrs. Cardozo is to the illustrious saleswoman Karen, the one who brings the most profit to the company!”“Will you stop mocking?” Karen roared. “Please, cance

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,
