Building My Life Chapter 2811 Time to Talk to the Police
Flávia and William visit Rocha Mansion and meet Reuben again. Reuben was installed in Alan’s old room.“My son!” Flávia hugged Reuben tightly, “Your grandmother wouldn’t let me talk to you!”“She said you shouldn’t compromise yourself,” Reuben explained.“Nonsense. How could something like that compromise me?” Flávia breaks the hug with a grimace.“Maybe my cell phone was tapped.” Reuben looked at his mother in doubt.William chuckles. “Don’t worry, Reuben. These are just extreme theories and concerns. With Josias around, you’re more protected than being in São Paulo.”“Will I have to give my statement to the police?” Reuben asked with concern.“Unfortunately.” Flávia sighs, “Daryl Mountain is in town and has already visited me at the orphanage, threatening and cursing us. Will punched him twice.”“I’m going to work out in the gym to punch him too.” Reuben scowls, “I know Daryl Mountain is the twins’ uncle, Melissa’s ex-brother-in-law, or Caroline’s token uncle: I DON’T CARE! If he wa

Brigitte wasted no time in visiting Reuben at Rocha Mansion to offer support.“Hello, Miss Amoreira.” Reuben shook her hand.“Hello, Reuben. Where can we talk?”“Let’s go to the living room. It’s comfortable, and the twins don’t mind.” Reuben opens the door.Not understanding what the twins have to do with this, Brigitte entered. They both sat comfortably on sofas.“I’m listening to you. I know you graduated in law and are dating Caio.”Brigitte smiles slightly, “Reuben, I want to inform you that Damascene Lawyers is available to defend you. Daryl Mountain tried to hire me, but I flatly refused.”“Thank you very much, Miss Amoreira. But do you intend to defend me?” Reuben smiles hopefully.“Unfortunately, I can’t do that. My specialty is different. I handle legal matters involving marriages, divorces, and wills.” Brigitte explains patiently.“I hope I can never hire you after I marry Caroline.” Reuben makes a joke.Brigitte remains serious. “Will there be a wedding, Reuben?”“Sure!” R

In the LCN newspaper, the news that Reuben had returned from São Paulo appeared on the front page.João Paulo was tasked with being the bearer of the news. He wasn’t very confident about it.At his house, Helen, with her pregnancy in progress, tried to comfort him during breakfast.“Honey, you can’t be so upset. You’re just doing your job.”“For real?” João Paulo chews the bread with margarine, “So why do I feel like I’m betraying the Freire family’s trust?”“You should ask Izzy, Reuben, and Wallace if they feel betrayed.” Helen sits down.João Paulo sighs. “I haven’t had Daryl’s illustrious visit yet. I thought we were going to have peace.”“Daryl is willing to put Reuben behind bars.” Helen shakes her head. She starts choosing several breakfast options.João Paulo’s cell phone rings and he answers, curious.“Number not saved. Hello?”On the other side, Reuben is sitting on his bed, already dressed.“Hello, João Paulo? This is Reuben, your favorite topic of the week.”“Reuben, I’m so
Building My Life Chapter 2814 The 2008 Interview
In the Teodoro Building, Pedro was talking to Theodore who was visiting the building after so many years. He admired the portrait of his ‘grandfather’ pinned to the wall.Pedro was a little embarrassed. “Little Theo, I wonder if you know the meaning of this.”Theodore smiled at Pedro. “My father explained the story to me. I was thought to be the son of Mr. Reis, that’s why I was named Theodore.”Pedro nods, but he knows it isn’t quite like that. Pamela knew that Theodore was not Beto’s son, but she had the nerve to name her son after her father-in-law anyway, out of sheer impudence.“Still, we consider you part of the family.” Pedro states, “We’re brothers. You also need to get along with Rosemary and Caio. Were you invited to her engagement party?”“Yes, I was,” Theodore confirmed.Beto appeared and was startled by Theodore’s presence. “Ah... Little Theo, I never thought you’d want to visit us!”“Hello, Mr. Reis.” Theodore smiled respectfully.“I was explaining some things, Dad.” Ped
Building My Life Chapter 2815 The Lawyer
Beto is shocked by the question Teresa asks. Is she going crazy or is it menopause?“Tess, you offend me with those kinds of questions. What do you mean?”Teresa calms down. “Do you regret divorcing Pamela?”Beto takes a deep breath and sits down on the sofa. “Honey, I want you to understand one thing: TODAY, I love you. But in the 90s, Pamela was my wife. We got married in 1985 because of Rosemary, and we spent long years living in harmony.”“It wasn’t exactly a harmonious marriage.” Teresa retorts.“Yes, there was some confusion concerning Caio’s custody.” Beto confirms, “But overall, I loved Pamela and I never wanted her to cheat on me. Yes, I was devastated and didn’t want to get divorced. But when I found out how seriously Pamela didn’t take our commitment... The divorce was bitter but necessary.”Teresa sits next to him. “I hadn’t thought about it in that light.”“Yes, if Pamela hadn’t slept with her boss - who coincidentally is now Brigitte’s boss - we would still be married to

Caio and Brigitte walked through Ibrahim Square hand in hand.“Am I not stopping you from going to work, sweetie?” Caio asks suddenly.“I don’t have much to do,” Brigitte responds with a sweet smile.“OK. Thank you very much for helping Reuben. Julian Pereira seems like a serious but competent guy.” Caio praises him.“I didn’t understand the ‘serious’ part.” Brigitte giggles.Caio smiles, “He seemed like a serious guy to me, one of those who won’t be intimidated by the opposition lawyer.”“He usually advocates for victims, acting as a prosecutor.” Brigitte explains, “But this time, he will act as a defender. Although, I repeat, there is still no formal case against Reuben.”Caio and Brigitte sit on one of the benches in the square.He asks, “So there’s a possibility that Reuben won’t even be charged?”Coincidentally, they didn’t see that Dylan was eating a ham sandwich on the bench facing away from the couple.Dylan turns to them and responds, “Unfortunately, we can’t count on that, b

Josias was passing through the hallways of Rocha Constructions, waving and greeting employees along the way.“Good morning, people!”“Good morning, Mr. Rocha.”Upon passing through the door of the architects’ room, Josias decided to enter.Among several architects working feverishly on their projects, Caio moved from table to table, commenting and providing guidance wherever possible. No one would say he had graduated last year.“Caio, can I have a word with you?”“Yes, let’s go to my office.”Caio still wasn’t sure if he called Josias ‘uncle’ in front of the other employees.Upon entering, Caio took advantage of his privacy. “Is there a problem, Uncle Josias?”“Are you aware that Reuben has accepted Julian Pereira as his lawyer?” Josias responds with another question.Caius nods, “I’m happy for him. But will that be necessary?”“Let’s hope not.” Josias sighs, “I’m hoping that Dylan Amoreira will tell me that the bullet that hit Felipe didn’t come from Harold’s gun, may he rest in pea

Felipe was released from the hospital. Daryl wanted to make this a national celebration.The doctor was confused as he announced, “Mr. Mountain, you don’t need to be worried. Felipe is a strong man and will come out of this. It’s not like he’s been through a big ordeal.”“Ah, doctor, when your son manages to survive a gunshot, you’ll understand me.”“I think so. God bless your family.” The doctor smiled and waved goodbye.Felipe was standing, wearing civilian clothes, more flushed and cheerful. “Thank you, doctor!”Maggie was also emotional. “Well, the ordeal is over. We need a little party. How about the penthouse?”“Absolutely. There’s room for everyone there.” Kelvin rubs his hands.“Invite Caroline. She was here, worried about me.” Felipe promptly decided.Daryl lost some of his joy. “Son, I think we should celebrate in Victoria’s safety. Your mother is anxious.”“Call her here,” Felipe responded practically.“The restaurant can’t be left, son.” Daryl scratched the back of his hea

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,
