Building My Life Chapter 2715 Love Is in the Storm
Octavio turned to his wife and informed her in a lower tone, “Honey, the idiot is at the hotel dying to ‘represent’ you. What will we do?”“Well, let him dream. Josias already knows I’m pregnant, right? He’s not going to fire me because I didn’t want to face a storm and risk the safety of our baby.” Jane replied confidently.Seeing his wife’s firm stance, Octavio smiled and spoke to Lauro again, “Look, Mr. Medeiros, unfortunately, my wife isn’t going to work just for today. If you’re willing to represent her for today...”Lauro smiled devilishly, “It certainly won’t be any problem for me! Tell your wife to stay calm and recover perfectly by tomorrow. Bye-bye!”“Bye...” Octavio realized that Lauro had already hung up his cell phone.“Rash and obvious little guy, huh?” Jane giggles.“For sure. His next task will be to call Josias who is in Rio de Janeiro, busy with other things, to gossip about you.” Octavio shook his head.“And are you going to Rocha Constructions headquarters today?”
Building My Life Chapter 2716 The Return of the Half-Brother
At Rocha Constructions, Reuben led David into Josias’s office while the president was away.David looked around as if he were visiting a candy and chocolate fair. “Wow... this is where my office will be...”“HA, HA, HA!” Reuben laughed dismissively. “Don’t fool yourself, man.”“Then why did you bring me in here?” David turned to him.“I brought you in here just to rub in your face what you’ll never have.” Reuben smiled mischievously.“You idiot...” David gritted his teeth.“Heed your words, my comrade!” Reuben turned serious, “I’m older than you and I demand respect. Furthermore, this office will be occupied by your eldest brother while Uncle Josias is away.”“It can’t be!” David roars.“Man, you must still be fifteen or sixteen!” Reuben commented between laughs, “You didn’t even finish high school! How do you intend to take over a company when you’re underage and don’t have the minimum level of business skill?”“I’ll catch my brother and dethrone him. I’m Josias Rocha’s son and I des

David felt calmer when he saw how Caroline treated him. The blood running down his nose was finally stopped.“Aren’t you going to attack me and hate me, Carol?”“Why would I do that? You’re my half-brother.” Caroline smiles gently.“You really are the Princess of Lagoon City, showing mercy to us mere mortals.” David smiled.“But remember, David: if your mother plans to break up the marriage between my parents, I won’t support her in such a thing,” Caroline warns him.“My mother couldn’t even contact our father.” David smiles awkwardly. “Your boyfriend deleted the email she sent him. I visited Rocha Constructions trying to find him.”Caroline takes the cup of cappuccino she ordered from Felipe. “Thanks. My parents are in Rio de Janeiro, checking out the projects there.”David frowned. Did they go to Rio on purpose, running away from Angela?Felipe decided to intervene in the conversation. “You still haven’t said how you managed to get punched.”David looked suspiciously at Felipe. “I f

At Crystal Blue, Caroline and Reuben meet for lunch. Patrick smiled when he saw the couple.“Now you’ll be the next ones to get married, huh?”“There are people ahead of us,” Caroline responded graciously.“I booked a table,” Reuben spoke pompously.“I know, clown.” Patrick laughed and checked the computer. Afterward, he gestured to another waiter, “Table 10... AH! I need to warn you.”“What?”“Mrs. Vasquez is here. She is having lunch with another lady named Angela Souza. Does it have anything to do with the Angel store that will be opened?”Caroline and Reuben break their smiles.“She’s the mother of Carol’s damn half-brother,” Reuben responded aggressively.“SHHH!” Caroline alerts her boyfriend. “We’ll probably pass them. Let’s ignore them.”“Your wish is my command.” Reuben smiles mischievously.Patrick chuckles as the couple walks away, led by the waiter.As they sit down, Angela sees the couple from a distance and comments as they wait for the famous grilled salmon, “Aren’t thos
Building My Life Chapter 2719 Non-Exclusive Contract
In the Teodoro Building, Rosemary delivered the good news to her parents. In the lobby, the radio followed tradition by playing the song “What I’ve Done”, by Linkin Park.“Daughter, congratulations!” Beto hugged Rosemary, “You’re going to achieve bigger flights now!”“Can’t I get bigger flights with Cardozo Perfumes?” Rosemary asked good-naturedly.“Yes, you can,” Teresa answered with a laugh, “But other companies might hire you.”“I understand that Mrs. Cardozo no longer wants an exclusive contract with me.” Rosemary broke the hug. “That way, I’m free to choose the company I want.”“Hmm, be careful with that, honey.” Teresa advises her, “Some businesspeople aren’t trustworthy or nice like Adelaide Cardozo. You need to be careful. Don’t you think you should have a representative?”Rosemary thinks about it for a bit, but then laughs at herself, “He, he... calm down, guys. Anyone who hears you like that would think I was a professional top model!”“And you’re not?” Beto tried to flatter
Building My Life Chapter 2720 Everyone Misses the Booth
In Ibrahim Square, Caroline and Olivia sat on a bench to continue talking.“Mrs. Vasquez, you didn’t form any business ties with Angela Souza?” Caroline was dumbstruck, “Well, I have to congratulate you on that.”“Thank you, Carol. I realized we can’t get in trouble.” Olivia smiles, pleased that she made the right choice.Caroline seized the opportunity, “Tell me, Mrs. Vasquez: did that unworthy woman mention anything?”“I think she mentioned wanting you to date someone else.” Olivia narrowed her gaze, trying hard to remember. She didn’t want to remember Angela’s madness.Caroline felt offended. “Another one who wants to give an opinion on my love life? What is with these people? Why doesn’t anyone take care of their lives?”“Calm down, Carol. I know this is ridiculous.” Olivia calms her down. Anyone who saw her would say that she and Caroline were great friends. “I don’t even know how I managed not to throw the wine in her face.”“Angela Souza won’t be able to establish commercial co

Karen slept peacefully and soundly on her plush bed in the master suite of the Mountain Penthouse. She’s supposed to wake up early to work at the aforementioned sales stand, but hey! She’ll be the next Mrs. Mountain, correct?Wrong. Kelvin approached an alarm clock that sounded outrageously in Karen’s ears, scaring her to no end.“AAARRRGHHH!!!” Karen screamed so desperately that she rolled over in bed and fell to the floor, with blankets and everything. The bedside table also fell, knocking over and breaking her cell phone.Kelvin was dying laughing, “HA, HA, HA, HA! Good morning, sleepyhead! Your lazy days are over!”“Ugh... Kelvin, have you lost your mind?” Karen tried to ignore what Kelvin said about not being lazy anymore. “Why did you do that with me?”“Huh... Did you happen to forget that you’re a contract employee of Cardozo Perfumes?” Kelvin stopped laughing.Karen smiled mischievously. “No. But it turns out that I got tired of working under the scorching sun. Kelvin, if I wo
Building My Life Chapter 2722 Opening of the Angel Store
Kelvin swallowed hard, walked into Adelaide’s office, and closed the door.“Auntie, why was the question about Karen’s whereabouts so abrupt?” He tried to buy time.“It’s a simple question.” Adelaide smiled as if she had no ulterior motives, “Is she here, or in the square selling my perfumes?”“She’s not in the square.” Kelvin sat opposite each other.“She is pregnant?” Adelaide didn’t want to waste time like the businesswoman she is.Kelvin opened his eyes wide, scared. It’s the same topic Karen talked about! What’s with these women?“Auntie, Karen isn’t pregnant,” He replied dryly.“But it’s not for lack of trying.” Adelaide blinked mischievously, “So, she hasn’t been coming to work because you won’t give her peace, butchering her mercilessly until four in the morning?”Kelvin blushed like a teenager. “Auntie, I didn’t discuss my love life even with my late mother! Why do you want the spicy details?”“Your mother, my damn sister who cheated on me with my husband, didn’t discuss your

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

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

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,
