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

At the Angel store, Angela climbed onto the counter where the cash registers were located. She took out a wireless microphone and announced in front of everyone present, “Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Very pleased to meet you! For those who don’t know me yet, I’m Angela Souza, co-founder of the Angel store chain. Welcome to the opening of the Lagoon City store! Take advantage of our products with a discount of up to 50%!” “YES!” Customers applauded incessantly. Discounts are always welcome, and they weren’t even at Christmas time! Angela got down before her weight broke the granite counter. Suddenly, countless buyers lined up at the cashiers to pay for what they chose. Money started coming in, credit cards were being swiped through the machines, and Angela only dreamed of the money going into her bank account. David approached her smiling, “What’s up, Mom? Today, can we get the money to buy the Mountain Penthouse?” “Not yet, son. But we’re starting to have a few bucks.” Angela poin
Building My Life Chapter 2724 Giving Respect to the Wrong Person
At Crystal Blue, Reuben and Caroline finished eating lunch. The boyfriend wiped his lips with a napkin while his girlfriend remained thoughtful.“Honey, you seemed to be thinking about something during our lunch.” Reuben decided to bring up the subject.Caroline took a deep breath. “I didn’t want to ruin your appetite first. But yes, I want to ask you something.”“You don’t ask, you order.” Reuben grinned.“Would you consider it an order to comply if I asked you to stop punching David?” Caroline asked sweetly.“But I only punched him once!” Reuben also responded sweetly.Caroline didn’t like the answer. Only one between the couple could act sweet, and it was most likely the girl.“Reuben, be ashamed of yourself.” Caroline grew impatient. “You’re the man in the relationship. You need to be decent and responsible.”“Are you saying I’m not decent or responsible?” Reuben asked confused.“Not as far as David is concerned.” Caroline explained, “I don’t want you to be in combat with him. Dav
Building My Life Chapter 2725 I Had to Punch Him
At Cardozo Perfumes, Karen is causing the biggest scandal, not because she was fired, but because it wasn’t SHE who resigned.Adelaide was about to have a nervous breakdown, “Karen, what do you want? Have you come to formalize your resignation?”“No, you old hag! Don’t think you’re going to brag about firing me. I’m the one who resigns and leaves this damned company with my head held high! Is that possible? Working at a ridiculous sales stand in the middle of the scorching sun while other salespeople work in the comfort of air conditioning?”Adelaide blinked blankly, “What? But it was you who volunteered to make the exchange—”“I only did this so I wouldn’t lose my source of income! It turns out that now I no longer need to subject myself to this humiliation.”“Is work humiliating for you?” Adelaide stood up, “Then you’re not even worthy of being in my company. Take advantage and go to HR, since you are so dissatisfied...”“With pleasure! But don’t think it will end like that, old cuc

Flávia wasn’t pleased to hear from Reuben how rude David has been to people he doesn’t even interact with.“He called me that ugly name? And what does he care who I’m dating?”“Mom, calm down. As I told you, I have already avenged you.” Reuben responded fearlessly.“And Carol objects to that?” Flávia is shocked.“I jokingly say that I want to punch David every single day and she gets upset!” Reuben whimpered.“Well, son, maybe you shouldn’t bother her with the joke.” Flávia drinks some black coffee. “It doesn’t mean she’s going to show unconditional support for David because you punched him. It’s best if you avoid confrontation, so Carol can stay calm.”“It’s impossible for me to avoid confrontation.” Reuben shook his head dejectedly, “I get emails from that witch every day. David will probably show up at the office to tease Alan now that he knows Uncle Josias is in Rio, far away.”“If David is smart, he won’t do anything to lose his father’s favor. And that includes provoking Alan.”
Building My Life Chapter 2727 They Didn’t Brief Me
At the Uélton Freire Orphanage, William entered Flávia’s office after signing autographs for the orphans. They came from the football field and were excited by the presence of the former top scorer of the Capixaba championship.“Flávia, how do your boys know about me?” William laughs as he closes the door, “They weren’t born when I played soccer!”“I made sure to explain to them who you were.” Flávia smiles at him, touched by the affection that William displayed. “You liked that, right?”“Yes, of course I liked it. It’s a shame that it wouldn’t be morally acceptable for us to adopt one of them. It’d be the solution to our problem.”Flávia got up, thinking about the matter. “Yes... if we get married, the issue of children would be a problem.”William noticed that his girlfriend was sad and gestured, “Forget it, forget it, we already told your father and Vania that we didn’t want to have children so as not to scandalize Happy Mother Maternity Hospital.”Flávia’s smile widened again. “Yo
Building My Life Chapter 2728 The Danger of Recording the Commercial
At Cardozo Perfumes, Adelaide didn’t understand Kelvin’s question about imprisonment for licentious conduct.“Kelvin, who will be arrested for a similar offense? You wouldn’t be thinking about your girlfriend, would you?”Kelvin became angrier, “Why did you think of Karen?”Adelaide rolled her eyes. “Yes, I got it right. You want your girlfriend to be arrested. Look, I don’t know if I should interfere in the couple’s affairs, but it seems to me that you two fought.”“We don’t fight in the full sense of the word.” Kelvin calmed down. “She told me she’s going to be in a commercial with Cláudio Guzman.”“Exactly.” Adelaide smiled, “I intended to put them both in a prison cell-type setting, to contrast with the scent. I’ve even thought about the slogan: ‘Cardozo Perfumes: it’s a crime to be well perfumed!’ What do you think?”Kelvin feels that the advertisement will be perfect, but what bothers him are the models. “The slogan is cool and will catch the attention of our buyers.”“But not t
Building My Life Chapter 2729 Why Are You Afraid of Me?
David was shocked to receive a slap from his older brother. What does that mean?Because he was a man, Alan's slap was equivalent to a punch. David's cheek burned like never before.Both brothers glared at each other for a few seconds before someone said something.It was Alan, the firstborn, who decided to break the silence, “You have no authority over this building, understand? Who do you think you are to show up here and make Prima Donna scandals?”“I’m the son of Josias Rocha!” David screamed at the top of his lungs, almost crying.Reuben heard the scream and went in, closing the door.David looked at him and then back at his brother, “This secretary felt entitled to bar my entry. WHY?"“Because I don’t like you,” Reuben replied indifferently.“Do you think I came here to steal business secrets?” David starts to laugh nervously, “Come on, why is it so important for you to bar me?”“Why is it so important for you to come in here?” Alan countered, “You belong at the Angel store.

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,
