Building My Life Chapter 2801 He Didn’t Do It
2008Caroline Campos Rocha (and probably Freire) was eagerly walking around the pool area wearing a white dress as fireworks welcomed the New Year. She was alone.Josias found her. He wore casual clothes, also white, and held a glass of champagne. It looked like a celebration was taking place in the ballroom, but his little princess was isolated.“Daughter?” He approached her with slow steps, “Wanting to ease your mind?”“I didn’t even get a call from him, Dad.” Caroline’s eyes were watery.“I know.” Josias kissed her cheek, “But I couldn’t allow Reuben to be arrested for Felipe Mountain’s attack.”“I know it wasn’t him, Dad.” Caroline repeated this several times, “I believe Felipe has other enemies. You know what the Mountain family is like. Felipe is no saint.”“Are you blaming Felipe for his misfortune?” Josias smiles out of the corner of his mouth.“I’m saying there are things we don’t know.” Caroline warns him, “Since Felipe took over management of Crystal Blue, we haven’t had an
Building My Life Chapter 2802 Daryl Wants Brigitte
Caio and Brigitte meet at Café Montanha. Rodrigo and Neilton attend to them, but their faces show concern for Reuben.“Neil, how’s the situation with your apartment?” Caio asks casually.“Well, Benjamin and I are going to have to tighten the budget.” Neilton lamented, “We don’t have Reuben’s help this month.”“What a situation.” Caio turns to Rodrigo, “Do you know when your father comes back?”“Hard to know.” Rodrigo replied aloofly, “Josias is the one who dictates the orders, you know that.”“My uncle, always the one in control...” Caio smiles and points to two pieces of chicken pie.After being served, Caio and Brigitte sit at one of the tables. Rodrigo turns on the radio and the song “Bubbly”, by Colbie Caillat, echoes through the cafeteria.“A peaceful song to calm us down a little,” Brigitte comments.“The situation is getting tense and dangerous, darling.” Caio informs her, “Rumors are going around that Daryl Mountain is visiting town, like a pit bull foaming in wrath.”“He want
Building My Life Chapter 2803 Chaos Begins
Melissa also felt that Josias wanted to talk to her about that subject...After David left, Melissa closed the door and approached her husband. “OK, I believe you wanted some answers.”“I think I deserve it, don’t I?” Josias jokes, “Honey, you showed up at my company, talking normally about the two of us, our love... Until Caio showed up talking about Reuben having a gun in his hands. You freaked out, magically guessed that Kelvin was in the hospital, and begged me to send Reuben to São Paulo with his grandparents. We’re now aware of this attempted murder, and the victim is Felipe.”Josias took a deep breath, “Will you please fill in the blanks? I’m seriously thinking that Reuben tried to murder Felipe, but our daughter refuses to believe it. When I ask if she has any theories, she withdraws. She knows something else, and I feel like she conferred with you.”Melissa smiles awkwardly. “Of course, she conferred with me. She cried in despair, sensing something like this would happen.”“D
Building My Life Chapter 2804 Benjamin Has a Memory of an Elephant
Flávia reacts indifferently to Daryl’s accusations. She smiles mockingly and gives William a warning with her gaze that everything is fine.William gets the message, closes the door, but remains in the room for safety.“Mr. Daryl Mountain, how long...”“It hasn’t been that long and I haven’t returned to this disgusting city!” Daryl barks, “Just passing through, enough time to put your son behind bars.”“Why do you think that way about my son? There is nothing proven against him.” Flávia responds calmly.“There’s nothing proven because Josias won’t let him, right?” Daryl grits his teeth, “I can barely remember the time we were friends! How Josias changed for the worse!”William can’t take it anymore. “Excuse me: has JOSIAS changed for the worse? You were his loyal friend who decided to stick your nose where it wasn’t called. Josias would be married to that troublemaker Gabriela Alves if it weren’t for me.”“You’re still proud of fooling everyone for over a year, huh?” Daryl neither for
Building My Life Chapter 2805 Defending Reuben
At Crystal Blue, Kelvin decided to provide support while Felipe recovered. After all, he was also a partner in the restaurant.The office was examined by the forensic team and released last year. Still, Kelvin had ominous feelings and now and then he glanced at the door. The chair that Felipe used was changed because it had splashed blood.Then, he opened a drawer and found a resume: it was Daniela Lombardi’s.“Hmm... a girl around Felipe’s age left a resume here. Maybe that would be a good idea...” Kelvin smiled excitedly.Once he was sure that Daniela had not been contacted, he picked up the phone from the desk and dialed her number.On the other side, Daniela was talking to her father in the living room.“The Crystal Blue people probably won’t hire me, Dad.” Daniela was discouraged.“Why do you think so, daughter?” Hamilton is surprised, “Don’t be pessimistic. Maybe they are waiting for your call.”“They’re the ones who promise to call me.” Daniela sighed, “When that doesn’t happen
Building My Life Chapter 2806 It’s Time for Him to Come Back
Daryl wasn’t in the mood to be accused of being a troublemaker. He closed the door to the office that now belongs to his son.“Has there been a change here?”“Cláudio Guzman changed the furniture, opting for a more modern and bold style, but your son changed everything back,” Patrick explained.“This desk is very good.” Kelvin smiles, patting her top, “Felipe has good taste.”“There’s just no wisdom for women,” Daryl complains.Patrick gulped. “Kelvin, do you want me to welcome Daniela?”“The conversation won’t be very long. Daryl needs to rest.” Kelvin looks at his troubled brother.Patrick leaves, leaving the brothers alone.“Will Campos got me this bruise.” Daryl quickly admitted, “He thought I wanted a facial.”“He didn’t do it for free. You provoked him—” Kelvin guessed, “Oh no, man! Did you meet with Flávia?”“I couldn’t swallow the fact that they are dating. What a strange pair!” Daryl grimaces in disgust, “But I thought she should know what I intend to do to her son as soon as
Building My Life Chapter 2807 A Proposal for Caroline
Daniela arrives at Crystal Blue and is welcomed by Patrick at the bar.“Hello, Pat. Looks like I’ve finally been selected. I was losing hope...”“Don’t miss it.” Patrick smiled, “I need to check if my other boss is available.”“Hey, is everything okay here?” Daniela has common sense, “If you’re out of time because of what happened...”“His older brother, Felipe’s father, was here.” Patrick looked down the hall.Daryl walked out of there, waving at Patrick. “Kelvin is free. Is this the new employee? He can meet you now, miss.”“Thanks.” Daniela smiled, “Why do I feel like he’s still part of this place?”“The restaurant was his, almost twenty years ago,” Patrick replied jokingly.Daniela went to the office and entered.The feeling of being in the same place where Felipe was shot gave her goosebumps.Kelvin stood up from his desk and smiled gently. “Hello, Miss Lombardi.”“Mr. Mountain, nice to meet you. Thank you very much for the opportunity.”“And I apologize again for taking so long.
Building My Life Chapter 2808 My Legacy Is the Building
Caroline is stunned by the less-than-decent proposal that Daryl made to her.“Uncle Daryl, I don’t understand what you mean by that.” She argues, “Are you suggesting that I had something to do with Felipe being in love with me?”“You didn’t, Carol? Honestly speaking?” Daryl raises his eyebrows.“No, this is absurd! I’ve always loved Reuben since I was a kid!” Caroline exclaims.Felipe shifts in bed as if he had heard that sentence.“Let’s go outside further.” Daryl calls out to her, “Looks like he heard what he didn’t want to hear.”Caroline gets impatient. “He needs to understand, Uncle Daryl.”“OK, but do you promise to try hard?” Daryl frowns.“Uncle Daryl, I don’t agree with the ‘look for another suitor’ part. I don’t want another man. Reuben will be the Prince of Lagoon City.” Caroline smiles hopefully.“Don’t be naive, girl. As soon as the police get their hands on him, Reuben will go to jail to pay for his crime.” Daryl shakes his head.“What crime? There is no conviction. We h

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
Chapter 3231 The Viper of Lagoon City
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,
