It’s been a while since I’ve received such illustrious visitors!”“Thanks!” Olivia enters without waiting for the others.Erasmo is embarrassed and enters with his head down. Sofia doesn’t know what to say.Helen tries to break the awkwardness, “Does she want to check out my furniture? I didn’t change much.”“She wants to change it again, according to new decoration trends,” Erasmo muttered.Alan narrowed his eyes. Should he participate in this joke?“Nephew, come in.” Helen gestured for Alan to pass. He was still on the threshold.“How are you, Aunt Helen?” Alan hugged her lightly.“I’m wonderfully well. João Paulo is waiting for you in the living room.”Alan heads there. João Paulo sat majestically in the armchair while Sandra wore a sky-blue dress.“How beautiful this girl is looking.” Olivia taps her head, “She looks like—”Erasmo pokes her before Olivia completes ‘looks like her mothe
Building My Life Chapter 2779 Some Value Teodoro Building, Others Don’t
At the Teodoro Building, Reuben visited Pedro to talk about the crazy request he wanted. Both young people are in the canteen eating apple pie.“The tenants here are gaining pounds, it’s a joy.” Reuben still speaks with his mouth full.“Careful, man.” Pedro jokes, “Carol can’t be disappointed that you’re losing your flat stomach.”Reuben swallowed and lifted the hem of his shirt, revealing a perfect six-pack. “Never. If I fail, she will run into the arms of the idiot Felipe.”Pedro worries, “Is there still this risk?”Reuben lets go of his shirt because tenants have started to notice the boy’s bare torso, “He’s now running the Crystal Blue, and he’s sure to use that as bait to seduce my Caroline.”Pedro shrugs, “But what’s the big news? The restaurant has always been in the Mountain family! Uncle Josias just returned the restaurant to the original owners.”“When I was a toddler, the restaurant belonged to the Bento family.” Reuben added, “Anyway, Carol, as the angel she is, will visit

In the canteen, Daniela eats apple pie and makes friends.Pedro points to Rosemary, “Rose, this is our new neighbor Daniela Lombardi. You’ve heard of it, but now you’re being formally introduced.”“Nice to meet you, Daniela. We can be great friends.” Rosemary held out her hand.“Are you Benjamin’s sister?” Daniela stops eating and shakes the famous model’s hand.“No, but if you look closely, we’re almost from the same family.” Rosemary sits at the table and explains patiently, “I am the sister of Caio Campos, son of Will Campos, and Benjamin Teixeira is Melissa Rocha’s cousin.”Daniele felt a little dizzy but nodded. “It’s indeed a big family.”“We mingle ourselves by marriage over the years.” Reuben proudly declares, “The Rochas, Reis, Campos, and Freires will always be interconnected. Ben needs to find a girlfriend to join us.”Everyone laughs.Pedro comments, “Don’t forget the Mountain family. Melissa had Mary and Ignacio.”“Oh, sometimes I forget about the twins, but they’ll be my

Alan, Caio, and Brigitte’s graduation has arrived.The ceremony took place in the large auditorium of Saint Gabriel College. Because of Josias’s presence and the fact that the heir was one of the graduates, there was a press presence.An eager journalist from Lisandro’s Show spoke with admiration, “And now, ladies and gentlemen, we’ll be listening to the moving speech from the heir of Rocha Constructions, Alan Campos Rocha!”Alan, wearing a typical graduation gown and cap, positioned himself on the stage and began to give his speech.In the seats, Melissa was barely holding back her pride. The third generation of the Campos family was graduating from Higher Education!Simeon and Dora were grateful to God for being able to witness this sublime moment.Caroline took photos while Reuben joked about the formality of the ceremony with Pedro and Neilton.“The next generation of graduates is committed to elevating the status of Lagoon City with seriousness and professionalism.” Alan said fir
Building My Life Chapter 2782 The Graduation Party
At Rocha Mansion, Josias’s private celebration continued.A sound system was installed in the party room and the song “Teenagers”, by My Chemical Romance, echoed throughout the venue.Employees served food and drink. Children secretly took delicacies without need because adults didn’t prohibit them.Theodore was enchanted by the mansion because it was the first time he had visited the residence. “Wow... your house is really beautiful, Mr. Rocha.”Alan laughed again. “You’re not going to call me Alan, are you?”“I don’t dare.” Theodore lowered his head humbly.Henry approached him, “Relax, Little Theo. The Rocha family is always inviting, but we know our place.” Henrique stares at Alan, “The speech was very motivating, Mr. Rocha.”“Thank you, Henry. I look forward to hearing from you one day.”“And you’ll hear.” Henrique smiles decisively.Bernardo takes the third glass of champagne. Maggie nudges him.“Don’t overdo it, man!”“Huh?

The next day, the Reis family had breakfast in Beto’s apartment.“Yesterday’s party was pretty good, huh?” Teresa brought up the subject.“Yes, it was really fun.” Maycon nodded like a toy dog.“It’s exciting.” Beto smiles, “I still haven’t gotten over Alan’s speech. How eloquent!”“He’s prepared.” Pedro solemnly commented, “Does anyone understand David picking up a glass of champagne and drinking it at sixteen?”“He coughed violently afterwards, the idiot.” Rosemary laughed heartily.Beto turned to her and smiled, “Daughter, you were very close to Thierry. Any news you want to share?”Rosemary smiled mysteriously. The others kept their eyes on her.“Thierry and I decided to live in the Lafayette mansion,” Rosemary announced.There were a few seconds of silence, with a delayed reaction.“I thought you guys were going to live here,” Pedro commented.“I know, guys, but thinking about it...” Rosemary explained, “Thierry is very famous with his photographs and I’m becoming famous with mod
Building My Life Chapter 2784 Coming Out in the Social Column
Josias was reading the newspaper in the Rocha Mansion library. Before he reached João Paulo’s column, Alan called him on his cell phone.“Hello, son.”On the other side, Alan was still in bed, leaning against the headboard and with the blanket covering him from the waist down, exposing his muscular, naked torso. Sofia was lying next to her husband, admiring his physique and just waiting...“Dad, you need to do something! David’s shame was so big that even João Paulo put it in his column.”“I haven’t read my brother’s column yet,” Josias responds as if he is disappointed that they ruined the surprise.“OK, sorry if I got ahead of myself. But it was something shameful. If that sergeant Ivan Moraes was still here, he would arrest you for serving alcohol to minors.”“But you know that’s not what happened.” Josias tries to be patient, “One of the gardeners was confused by your brother’s height and thought he was eighteen years old. Theodore told me they got confused with him too.”“Here’s
Building My Life Chapter 2785 I Don’t Deserve To Be Respected
At the Rocha Hotel, Josias knew that Alan would be in marital intimacy with Sofia all day in celebration of his graduation. Therefore, he decided to check with David about the embarrassment he went through in the ballroom.However, he witnessed his cousin Benjamin Teixeira, the hotel’s Master Chef, punching the most annoying supervisor that Elza had the misfortune of hiring. What to do now?David ran to him. “FATHER! That’s not what you’re thinking at all! This is my entire fault!”Benjamin, Sybil, and the others were appalled. How was this David’s fault?Josias looked at David seriously. “How was that your fault?”Benjamin didn’t wait for another second. “Cousin Josias, that isn’t true. Sorry, I got carried away and set a bad example for the employees.”While everyone was talking, Lauro pretended to pass out just to avoid having to report to Josias!“You need to make up your mind. Who is to blame?” Josias asked.Sybil came out from behind the counter. “Mr. Rocha, Supervisor Medeiros

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,
