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

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

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

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

Luis showed up at the Rocha Hotel, looking for Eugenio Cogo's office. He ran into Sybil in the hallways and was enchanted by her beauty."Hey, cutie! Where is the manager's office?""I'd recommend the police station for you to be arrested for sexual harassment!" Sybil was offended."What? Relax, cutie! I don't intend any harm." Luis thinks he's doing great at seduction.Sybil shook her head. "You're too late.""For the job interview?""No, for trying to win me over. The manager's office is just around the corner to the right." Sybil quickly walked away from the flirtatious dude.She went to the kitchen, frowning and grumbling.Benjamin found her this way and got worried. "What's wrong, Sybil?""A natural pick-up artist tried to seduce me, but I told him I already belong to you."

Luís was now at Café Montanha, getting to know the place to mingle with the surroundings of Lagoon City.Neilton approached him with a cup of coffee with cream and mint and cubes of green corn cake."Looks delicious," Luís smiled at the waiter."Are you new around here?" Neilton asked curiously."I’m new in town and this café, but you guys have gained a new patron!" Luís tried a piece of cake and his eyes lit up."I'm glad you liked it. Feel free to make yourself at home," Neilton smiled and walked away.Olivia appeared in the café and recognized her nephew by his muscular back.She held back from being obvious. After all, Rodrigo and Neilton were nearby and could catch her.Approaching her nephew, she sat down without waiting for an invitation. "Hi, Luís! So, did you get the job as a hotel supervisor?"The question was so loud that Rodrigo and Neilton heard it from the counter.Luís almost choked on the coffee he was drinking. "Hi, aunt. I haven't received an answer yet, but I'm conf

We need to gain more points with our son-in-law's family. We hit the jackpot when we paid tribute to Josias, finding the bus he boarded to Happiness Slum.""Very interesting...""So, keep your ears open. At any moment..."Luis's cell phone rang and he promptly answered, "Hello?""Hello, Mr. Vasquez? This is Eugenio Cogo from Rocha Hotel." Eugenio smiled from his desk."Hello, Mr. Cogo!" Luis exclaimed for Erasmo to hear, making his uncle's eyes sparkle with excitement."I'm calling to inform you that you have been selected." Eugenio informed, "Can you come in tomorrow to formalize your hiring and sign your employment contract?""Yes, yes, yes, I'll be there first thing in the morning!" Luis replied enthusiastically."OK, thank you so much for your willingness. See you tomorrow." Eugenio hung
Building My Life Chapter 2865 Everyone Wants to Be a Swimmer
Josias was peacefully enjoying a pool Sunday, soaking up the sun while the children played in the water. After Brazil's gold medal in swimming at the Olympics, it seems like everyone wants to be a professional swimmer."I won!" Ignacio shouted."No, I won!" Mary exclaimed."We can discuss this with the referee." Henrique turned to Josias, "Mr. Rocha, who won?"Josias smiled, "The one crossed the finish line first. Nacho."Mary didn't like it very much but had to settle for the silver medal.Melissa approached wearing a modest yet elegant swimsuit, made by Vasconcelos Fabrics."And how are the kids behaving? Were the swimming lessons worth it?" She asked, sitting on the lounge chair next to them."Speaking of swimming lessons made me remember Claudio Guzman." Josias smiled."I wonder how he's doing in Europe." Melissa narrows her eyes."Probably making those movies that won't come to Brazil." Josias's smile faded."It's a shame. Carol really liked him." Melissa sighed and looked at the

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

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,
