Building My Life Chapter 2854 A Gift from the Past
At Rocha Constructions, Brigitte and Caio are talking in his office.“My dear, how is Reuben taking the results of the investigation?” Brigitte asks.“What investigation?” Caio teases as he looks over a subordinate’s blueprint, “The guy is just moving on with his life, focused on Caroline.”Brigitte nods, “I see, but Felipe doesn’t seem to want to get over the event. He suspects that the shooter wasn’t Patrick.”Caio looks at his girlfriend. “Well, you’re not going to think it was Reuben, are you? I believe that’s what Felipe wanted.”“I don’t know. At least Daryl Mountain has returned to Victoria and won’t cause any more problems. What an annoying guy!”Caio smiles bitterly, “Can you believe he was a close friend of Uncle Josias? At some point in history, starting from 1999, everything changed when he thought he could interfere in my uncle’s personal life, trying to push a certain Gabriela Alves when Uncle Josias was still in love with his current wife, Kate Bezerra.”“The one who di
Building My Life Chapter 2855 Return to the Past
Caio and William discuss Reuben and Caroline’s dilemma.“So, my friend Reuben wants to live with Carol just like Thierry and Rose are doing?” Caio chuckles, feeling sorry for Reuben.“Or like his mother and I.” William scratches his head, “I’m not sure if formalizing the union would be the right move.”“Dad, wouldn’t there be any issues considering you two are first cousins?” Caio raises his eyebrows.“The law wouldn’t prohibit a civil union,” William replies, “But it’s the moral aspect that bothers me a bit. Don’t get me wrong, son. I love Flavia, and we’re happy together. We just hope this doesn’t confuse her son’s head.”“I can talk to Reuben, although I believe you’ve already said something about it.” Caio offers.“Yes, I have, but friendly advice is never too much.” William looks at his wristwatch, “I need to go. Did you hear that Josias has returned? I think I’ll stop by the mansion to find out the details of the trip.”“I know. I need to check those blueprints, Father. Thank yo
Building My Life Chapter 2856 Bold Accusation
William visits Rocha Mansion and finds Melissa. They both talk in the same living room where Reuben was before.“Sis, are the pictures from the trip available?” William asks excitedly.“I still have to develop them,” Melissa replies, thinking about the previous conversation.“Did Carol tell you about what happened during your absence?” William notices the older sister’s sadness.“She didn’t tell me.” Melissa huffs, “I had to bring Reuben here for him to tell me what happened. Thank goodness I did that, and I hope Josias never finds out.”“Sometimes I think this was my fault.” William hangs his head.Melissa is surprised by this statement. “Why do you think that, Will?”“Because if it weren’t for me living with his mother... And we have Thierry and Rose living together...” William scratches his neck.“I’m not going to judge the arrangements you all make.” Melissa shakes her head, “I just know that Carol doesn’t want this, and Josias would never accept Reuben living here before marriage
Building My Life Chapter 2857 I Will Live in Rocha Mansion
At Rocha Constructions, Josias finds it very bizarre that Felipe thinks Caroline had something to do with the shot he took.“Felipe Mountain, I’m disappointed in you!” Josias frowns, “Not only did you fall in love with my daughter, even though she is engaged to another guy. Now, to prove that you don’t love her anymore, you’d rather accuse her of being the shooter?”Felipe remains impassive. “What’s the problem, Mr. Rocha? If Caroline was the shooter, it would make sense for Pat to want to take the blame for her, assuming the guilt to protect her. But since you know the truth, you’re making sure that Patrick is released.”“Exactly, he will be released to go to Serra.” Josias goes to the drinks table and refills his glass, “And that should make you happy.”“It does. Since you can’t tell me who it was, then I’ll just go with what I know.” Felipe smiles ironically.“You don’t know,” Josias warns him, “Don’t go around accusing Caroline because it wasn’t her!”Felipe nods slowly. “Okay. It
Building My Life Chapter 2858 Concerned about the Boss
Felipe returns to Mountain Penthouse as the night falls outside.Kelvin is in shorts enjoying a cup of tea while the song “That’s How People Grow Up” by Morrissey echoes through the radio speakers.“It’s been a while since I’ve heard this singer,” Kelvin comments. “Back in the 80s, he... What’s wrong now, nephew?”Felipe collapses into the armchair with a grimace and angrily kicks off his shoes, hitting them on the coffee table. “I tried to talk openly with Josias Rocha, but it was like talking to a wall!”“Did he not tell you what you wanted to hear?” Kelvin asks, not very interested.“What did I want to hear?” Felipe retorts with another question. He realizes that Kelvin is not taking him seriously.“You wanted Josias to tell you that he was protecting Reuben or Carol, that’s why he let Patrick go,” Kelvin replies with a sarcastic smile.“I don’t see what’s so funny about that,” Felipe complains.“You should team up with Izzy to write a storyline for ‘Love Spins the World’. That wou
Building My Life Chapter 2859 Josias Welcomes His Son-In-Law
Flávia and Angela were talking about their children."How dare your son encourage the Princess of Lagoon City to leave my son? What's so bad about Reuben?" Flávia questioned.Angela smiled disdainfully. "You never understand, do you? It's impossible! How many times do we have to say that it's because of his idiotic father that we don't want Caroline with your son?""Respect Uélton! He's not here to defend himself!"Karen began to wake up from the slap she received."Argh... Where am I?""You're on the floor, where you belong!" Flávia responded fiercely, turning to Angela, "Reuben can't be punished for a mistake his father made!""Oh, he can, and he is!" Angela disrespectfully replied, "I suggest you go out on the streets and listen to what people are saying about your 'prince'. Come on, Flávia! If you have respect for your cousin Melissa, you should encourage your son to step back and let a real man be the Prince of Lagoon City!""But Caroline is in love with Reuben, she loves him! It
Building My Life Chapter 2860 Warm Welcome
Reuben appeared with suitcases in hand as Hector carried two more.David, in turn, stood at the entrance with his arms crossed, scowling."Did you sleep standing up there?" Reuben wasted no time in mocking, "Looks like you're in the same spot as yesterday!""And you wasted no time in using the staff. Ridiculous!" David growled."Wipe the drool dripping from your mouth, rabid dog!" Reuben retorted, "Hector, where will my room be?""Right this way, Mr. Freire," Hector humbly replied."HECTOR!" David finally barked, "You have no obligation to obey this intruder, do you hear me?"Hector pretended not to hear the neighing boy and carried Reuben's luggage to the second floor.Reuben smirked mockingly at David and followed the butler.On the stairs, Caroline met him and lit up her face with a smile, "Reuben! You really came...""I thought you didn't want me to live here, darling." Reuben winked mischievously.Caroline chuckled and descended the steps, approaching her fiancé. "You get me. I d
Building My Life Chapter 2861 Job Proposal
At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan decided to take advantage of everyone being gathered at breakfast to ask a question."Erasmo, is Luis Vasquez any relation of yours? He left a resume at the hotel."Sofia immediately choked on the coffee she was drinking, "Cough, cough, cough...!"Alan gently patted her back, "Are you fine, dear?""Thank you..." Sofia sighed in relief, blushing and looking at her father.Erasmo, however, seemed unaffected by his daughter's distress and casually replied, "Yes, Alan. Luis is my nephew, my younger brother's son who lives in Victoria. He's having trouble finding a job there. The situation is getting difficult.""Yes, Victoria is not a very big capital and many people from the surrounding cities need to go there to work, increasing the competition for a job. Meanwhile, our city just keeps growing." Alan smiled, "Okay, if Gene Cogo has no objection, he will be hired as a supervisor to replace Lauro."Olivia grinned, "Thank you, Alan. Hey, is it true what they sa

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,
Chapter 3228 Sarah Shouldn’t Have Let Her In
At the General Hospital, Diane was causing a scene in the hallway while Felipe was being treated in one of the rooms. “What is happening? Someone please give me answers!!” Matthew approached the desperate woman. “Mrs. Mountain, we ask for your calm. Your son is not in life-threatening condition.” “He should never have been in this situation to begin with!” Diane shouted. Eugenio approached. “Mrs. Mountain, we’re very sorry. I tried to call Suzy, but she is at an appointment with Cardozo Perfumes.” “Why is she at my brother-in-law’s company? More investments?” Diane was taken aback. “Perhaps,” Eugenio narrowed his eyes. “She didn’t tell me exactly what she intended to do.” “Oh, this situation is killing me. Doctor, how is he?” “He is sleeping under the effect of sedatives. We are waiting for a room to become available to conduct some tests to understand why he isn’t waking up,” Matthew informed her. “Well, if my boy isn’t going to wake up for now, I need to reach my husband.
Chapter 3227 Business First, Boyfriend Later
At the Rocha Hotel, Luís couldn’t stand being called “Spanish Stallion” for the umpteenth time and gave Felipe the biggest beating he had ever received in his life. However, Eugenio was not in favor of violence and quickly called using his desk phone. “Security, there’s a fight happening in my office!” Eugenio’s euphoric voice jolted Luís out of his trance. When he came to, Felipe was unconscious, with a bleeding nose and cuts on his face. “LUÍS, look what you’ve done!” Eugenio panicked. “How am I going to defend you from this?” “I couldn’t control myself, Eugenio! You know how much I hate that nickname!” Luís shouted passionately. “It doesn’t matter! If you can’t keep your self-control, you’re going to get into serious trouble like right now!” Eugenio pushed Luís away from Felipe as he spoke. He knelt down and checked Felipe’s vital signs by holding his wrist. “At least he’s STILL alive,” Eugenio said sarcastically. The security team arrived in record time. “Here we are, ma
Chapter 3226 The Nickname as a Trigger
At Crystal Blue, the restaurant was still closed, but Suzy was there at the bar, having a drink in celebration. Diane was the one who prepared two shots, both toasting. “A toast to success and personal fulfillment, my future daughter-in-law!” They both drank. Suzy took a deep breath. “What a relief! It’s so good to be victorious!” “It really is a wonderful feeling.” Diane nodded. “Now, do you think the annoying people will finally leave you alone?” “No, of course not! It seems the war is going to intensify even more.” Suzy replied excitedly. “And you are confident that you can fight, win?” “Of course! I have the truth on my side.” Suzy took another sip. “It all started with Sofia discussing salary increases in front of the employees.” “I feel like she did that on purpose, huh?” Diane raised her eyebrows suspiciously. “Yes, I see it that way, too, after thinking it through. What a coincidence that Sofia heated up the discussion just as I showed up warning against making too ma
