Building My Life Chapter 2996 Let's Elope
In the manager's office at Rocha Hotel, Luís and Eugenio sat face to face at the desk, meticulously checking printed reports. Luís occasionally glanced at Eugenio, his mind drifting to thoughts of Suzy and David.“How is the evaluation of the maids going?” Eugenio asked, his focus unwavering.“The evaluation is satisfactory,” Luís replied. “The guests have nothing to complain about, except for a few who exaggerate.”Eugenio’s interest piqued. “In what way do they exaggerate?”“There was a guest who checked out last week,” Luís explained, “who complained about the lack of cleanliness in the suite. After the maid did the service, he then complained about the smell of the cleaning materials used.”Eugenio raised his eyebrows and smiled good-humoredly. “We usually disregard those unreasonable guests.”Noticing Luís’ reluctant expression, Eugenio pressed further. “What's wrong, man?”Luís composed himself. “Nothing much.”Eugenio’s tone became steady. “Did you ask Suzy if she is in love wi
Building My Life Chapter 2997 Leaving Everything Behind
Caroline stood in her room at the Rocha mansion, the early morning light casting a soft glow through the window.Her luggage sat ready on the bed, packed meticulously for the journey ahead.She gazed out the window, lost in thought, contemplating the monumental step she was about to take — leaving everything behind to marry Reuben.The weight of the decision hung heavy in the air, mingling with the crisp morning breeze that rustled the curtains.*******Across town, in Neil's cozy apartment, breakfast was in full swing. David, brimming with excitement, recounted his recent date with Suzy."And then," he exclaimed, his eyes lighting up, "she let her guard down and broke down all the barriers for us to get to know each other better!"Benjamin, sitting across the table, nodded with a proud smile. "I watched the whole thing from the counter."David laughed, shaking his head in wonder. "I don’t know how you manage to run a kitchen and keep an eye on my love life."Benjamin's grin widened.
Building My Life Chapter 2998 My Cry of Protest
The morning peace in the Hamilton apartment was abruptly shattered by a loud knocking on the door. Daniela, dressed in light clothing, moved quickly to answer, only to be met by a familiar yet unexpected face."Mr. Reis... Beto?" she stammered, shock displayed in her voice."Sorry to show up like this, Daniela," Beto replied, his tone urgent. "But I need to talk to your father seriously."From the kitchen, Hamilton's voice called out, "Who is it, dear?" As he entered the room, his expression hardened upon seeing Beto. "Oh, it's you...""When are you going to leave?" Beto demanded, anger flashing in his eyes.Daniela, feeling confused and a bit lost, interjected, "Leave? Where to?""Far away from here, I hope!" Beto retorted.Turning to her father, Daniela's concern grew. "Dad, what's going on here?"Hamilton tried to dismiss her worries. "Nothing, daughter. Go have your breakfast."But Daniela stood her ground, outrage boiling over. "No! I want to know what's going on! Were we evicted
Building My Life Chapter 2999 How the Vasquez Family Will React to the News?
In the dining room of the Rocha Mansion, the atmosphere was heavy with expectation as Josias placed the letter on the table, his face set in a grim expression.The others didn’t bother to ask what Caroline had written; the silence spoke volumes.Melissa broke the quiet first, her voice with concern. "Josias... What are we going to do?"After a long pause, Josias finally replied, his tone resigned. "We’ll have to cancel the ceremony preparations."Simeon looked astonished. "What? Aren’t we going to send Tiago Bento's boys to look for them?""No," Josias answered, gloom hanging over him like a cloud. "If they want to marry in secret, so be it."Dora nodded, her voice calm. "Dear, they are adults and know what they want."Simeon, however, wasn’t convinced. "Are they willing to face the consequences of their actions?"Melissa interjected, her words carrying a note of pride. "Caroline has Rocha blood. She was determined not to have Sofia at the wedding. Once she felt we would oppose it, sh
Building My Life Chapter 3000 I'm Not to Blame!
Josias sat uneasily in the opulent living room of the Vasquez mansion. Olivia's garish and extravagant decor clashed with his more subdued tastes, making him feel even more out of place."Carol wasn’t exaggerating..." he muttered to himself, taking in the over-the-top surroundings.The sound of footsteps approaching made Josias fall silent. Alan, Sofia, Erasmo, Olivia, and Luis entered one by one, their faces lighting up with recognition as they saw him."Dad, good morning! It's great to have you here this Sunday," Alan greeted warmly."Where is Melissa?" Sofia asked respectfully, her eyes searching the room."She’s at home, talking to others about the cancellation of Reuben and Sofia's wedding," Josias announced, his voice heavy with the weight of the news.The shock was palpable.Olivia, her face paling, sank into a nearby chair. "Is that true, Josias? The wedding was canceled?""Unfortunately," Josias confirmed.Sofia, though initially stunned, felt a wave of vindication wash over
Building My Life Chapter 3001 Late Message
2010.The living room of Rocha Mansion lay in shadows, save for the dim glow of the television that flickered uselessly in front of Josias. He sat on the couch, his posture rigid, eyes distant, barely registering the antics of the evening programming.The soft hum of the TV and the muted sounds of the city beyond barely penetrated his brooding silence. He glanced at the clock, noting the passing time with a sigh.Two months had gone by since his daughter, Carol, had eloped with her boyfriend, Reuben. The occasional letters from them were a meager comfort, the ink and paper unable to fill the void left in their absence.Josias’s fingers fidgeted with the remote control, turning it over and over as if it held some secret answer. He glanced towards the phone on the side table, a slight unease flickering in his eyes as it rang. The screen displayed an unknown number, a curious, unsettling reminder that the past two months had been a long, uncertain waiting game.He answered with a tentati
Building My Life Chapter 3002 Felipe Doesn’t Give Up
Josias made his way towards his office at Rocha Constructions, passing by Reuben’s empty desk, his footsteps soft against the polished floor.He paused and shook his head slowly, a faint smile playing on his lips as he surveyed the now vacant space.Caio, carrying a stack of blueprints, approached with a brisk pace. “Uncle Josias, are you planning to hire another secretary?”Josias turned, his smile slight but genuine. “I don’t think that’s necessary. I believe they are about to return.”Caio’s face brightened. “That’s great; it’s good to have positive thoughts.”Josias’s gaze shifted to Caio, curiosity evident in his eyes. “What do you think about all this, Caio?”Caio cleared his throat, choosing his words carefully. “If I may share my opinion, Uncle Josias, I thought it was a very romantic gesture.”Josias chuckled, the sound rich with amusement. “I figured the younger generation would see it positively.”Caio hesitated, his tone taking on a cautious edge. “Aunt Melissa...”“She’s
Building My Life Chapter 3003 A Surprise Awaits Josias
The Vasquez Mansion cradled Sofia’s unrest within its opulent walls. At her suite, Sofia sat perched on the edge of the bed, her expression showing indignation.She stared blankly at the ornate carpet, her lips moving silently as if to convince herself of a truth.“That’s all I needed,” she muttered under her breath, her voice carrying a bitter edge. “To feel guilty for everything that happened. I never fell in love with Alan for financial reasons. My parents are not opportunists! Caroline Rocha is mistaken, and one day she’ll have to apologize to me!”The door creaked open, and Luís stepped into the room, his brow furrowed in concern. His gaze swept over the disarray of emotions etched on Sofia's face.“Cousin,” Luís said firmly, “that’s enough. You need to get out of this suite.”Sofia turned her head slightly, her eyes still fixed on the carpet. “Why?” she asked, her voice flat, as though the words themselves were heavy.“Because I don’t want to see you like this,” Luís replied, hi

Chapter 3218 What It’s Really About
At Eugenio’s apartment, he opened the door for Felipe. Suzy’s boyfriend found her a bundle of nerves, sitting on the sofa as if she were in some withdrawal crisis. “DEAR!” Felipe rushed to the sofa, sat down, and hugged her tightly. “What have they done to you...” “A tragedy, Felipe.” Eugenio sighed. “They just won’t leave my niece alone.” “Well, there’s a simple word to solve this: LAWSUIT!” Felipe shouted, but his loud voice didn’t bother Suzy. “Jake left here saying João Paulo is in love with her. Does that make sense?” Eugenio scratched his neck. Felipe’s eyes were on fire. “Maybe. That big horse has too much virility, and having just one wife isn’t enough. He needs to relieve himself with other bitches — but not my Suzy!” Felipe’s protective demeanor calmed Suzy down. Not all men are worthless — there are those who are good for dating and marrying. Eugenio realized that. “Look, she’s getting better. Suzy, do you want to go down and have breakfast at Café Montanha?” Only
Chapter 3217 New Bombshell
João Paulo’s article in the next issue of LCN, both printed and online, was as follows: “Even with Vaztrans turning a profit in annual revenue, Suzy Cogo refuses to give her employees a raise!” Suzy flipped the breakfast table and was screaming like a possessed person. Eugenio froze in his chair, watching the table and all the breakfast spilled on the floor. Jake came out of the bathroom still with shaving foam on his right cheek and without a shirt. “What’s going on here?” Jake shouted. “He did it again, HE DID IT AGAIN!” Suzy was jumping and stomping, looking like she was skipping rope, but she wanted to stomp on the newspaper on João Paulo’s column page. Jake pushed Suzy aside and grabbed the newspaper. Despite her footprints, he managed to see the news. The published photo of Suzy did not do her beauty justice, as if the photographer had been hiding and took the picture without her knowing. “He’s in love with you, sis.” Jake crumpled the newspaper with both hands. “That’s t
Chapter 3216 Is Suzy the Enemy?
At the Borges family home, Leonardo was chatting with his father during a break from work. Renan raised his eyebrows as Leonardo recounted what Reynaldo had discovered. “A girl whose parents worked for Josias in the ‘80s?” “Yes, and she insisted on introducing herself by her full name as if she took great pride in it: Sarah Paes.” Renan’s eyes lit up. “It can’t be possible. There was one of the henchmen, my old boss’s right-hand man... Ernesto Paes. After Josias killed him, Ernesto switched sides and became the butler... when I tried to take down Josias, I think he was already married...” “So there’s no doubt, Dad.” Leonardo was excited. “She’s the daughter of that traitor.” “And she’s been in contact with Josias, it seems.” Renan smiled, rubbing his hands together. “We need to find a way to get close to her.” “The guys at the café might have information for us.” Leonardo sat down on the couch. “Alright, I’ll leave this in your hands, or Reynaldo’s, since he’s the one who hear

Melissa dropped by the Cardozo Perfumes office.She found Sarah working with a bright smile. “Good morning, Sarah. So, enjoying being back in Lagoon City?”“Oh, I couldn’t be happier, Mrs. Rocha!” Sarah replied excitedly. “Everyone here knows you, and they’re so friendly!”“Yeah, but be careful; not everyone is like that,” Melissa began to worry.“My parents warned me, especially about David Souza.” Sarah became alert. “He... there was news on the Internet that he’s in jail...”Melissa smiled mockingly. “Sad ending for someone who insists on being a pain in the neck, don’t you agree?”“Oh, yes, I agree...” Sarah quickly nodded. Something inside her told her to agree if she didn’t want to get into trouble.Kelvin approached them. “Good morning, madames!”“Kelvin, I need to talk to you.” Melissa turned to him.“Let’s go to my office. Sarah, hold the calls or forward them to my wife.”“Yes, Mr. Mountain.”Kelvin and Melissa went to his office.Inside, Melissa asked, “Is Sarah doing well?
Chapter 3214 Something from the Past to Use in the Future
Daryl met with Sofia, Suzy, and William in Sofia’s office. Sofia was still smiling and occasionally shot ironic glances at Suzy.“Guys, João Paulo wants to interview Vaztrans, just as I predicted,” Daryl announced. “As we can see, this company’s good performance has not gone unnoticed by the general public.”“Oh, damn...” Suzy muttered under her breath.“Why are you complaining, Suzy?” Sofia asked provocatively.“We have a bad history with that guy,” Suzy said louder. “Can’t we ask another journalist to come here?”“Knowing João Paulo, he’ll come,” William replied, also a bit apprehensive. “Which one of us is going to answer his questions?”Daryl shrugged. “Looks like I’m the only one who’s not on bad terms with him, right?”“Be careful, Daryl. João Paulo is more treacherous than his late father,” Sofia grumbled.Suzy decided to counterattack, “This is all because of the ‘Spanish Stallion’? Get over it, dear. Don’t go catatonic like your mother.”Sofia shot Suzy a furious look and did
Chapter 3213 Time to Think About the Future
Sofia and Suzy started arguing in the middle of the employees in the Vaztrans garage. “Suzy, don’t be stingy!” Sofia exclaimed. “After many years, our company finally had some financial breathing room. I want to celebrate this achievement by doing something nice for our hardworking employees.” “That’s right, Mrs. Campos Rocha!” The employees cheered. Suzy smiled maliciously. “I see your little game.” “What do you think I’m doing?” Sofia crossed her arms. “You’re staging a publicity stunt or trying to win the hearts of the employees. Well, that’s not going to happen!” “You...” Sofia held back the urge to slap Suzy but decided to take the high road. She turned to the drivers and conductors and shrugged. “I tried.” Sofia made a strategic retreat, leaving Suzy alone in front of disappointed employees. “Hey, wait...!” Suzy felt she was about to be lynched and ran out of the garage. The employees booed and cursed her without mercy. ****** At João Paulo’s house, he was sitting in
Chapter 3212 Can We Give a Raise?
Reynaldo and Leonardo were talking in the former’s office, tension and anxiety taking over their voices and expressions. “So you mean the idiot knows everything?” Leonardo asked illogically. “If J.J. discovered our plan, then he’s not an idiot, man.” Reynaldo corrected him. “You understood what I meant!” Leonardo gestured. “And now? What are we going to do?” “Most likely, Josias Rocha knows too.” Reynaldo sighed, discouraged. “As our father said, we need to wait for the dust to settle before we act again.” “We need to make you the majority partner.” Leonardo asserted. “Leo, sometimes I’d prefer if you stayed out of this.” Reynaldo admitted from the bottom of his heart. “You have a career as a lawyer that precedes you. If things get worse, if you’re exposed, not only would you be fired from Damascene Lawyers – no agency would have the guts to hire you.” Leonardo smiled and patted his brother’s right shoulder. “Don’t worry about me. Avenging our father is more important than anyt
Chapter 3211 Sofia Is Innocent
At Vasconcelos Fabrics, the biggest and most controversial conversation J.J. had ever had in his life was taking place. If he saw himself acting all tough and wild with Reynaldo, he wouldn’t recognize himself. Footsteps echoed down the hallway toward the office. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, man!” Reynaldo mustered the courage, hoping someone would come to save him. “Okay, it’s understandable that you don’t want to produce evidence against yourself.” J.J. smiled ironically. The office door opened, and Leonardo appeared. “Is something going on here?” “Hello, big brother!” J.J. continued in an ironic tone. “The coincidence of you showing up here is almost timed!” “Have you been drinking?” Leonardo frowned, and then looked at a terrified Reynaldo. “J.J. isn’t feeling well; it’s best to leave him alone.” Reynaldo’s expression told Leonardo what was really happening. “Alright, I need to talk to you about some matters. Have a good day, J.J.” Leonardo, in an attorney’s po
Chapter 3210 Josias Junior in Action
At Vaztrans, William questioned Sofia about the company’s finances, which are now in order since her parents stopped interfering.“Uh, I think the explanation is simple. With my father no longer here, we don’t have that urge to prove we’re always the best public transportation company in the city.” Sofia sat face to face with him. “I remember my father would always freak out when people mocked the old bus models we had.”“Yeah, and he would waste money buying expensive buses that we couldn’t afford to maintain.” William accepted this explanation for now. “So, Sofia, you wouldn’t be offended if I said your father was just playing at being a manager?”Sofia made a face. “My father managed Vaztrans since its inception. I’m here to continue his legacy.”“I know you’ll do a good job.” William leaned back in his chair. “I just want us to keep things this way now that we’re in control.”Sofia crossed her arms. “Great. I hope that doesn’t mean any insinuation on your part – or from that littl
