Building My Life Chapter 3047 Luís Decides to Back Down
Alan visits the Rocha Hotel and finds Luís in his office. Luís is standing in front of the window, gazing at the urban horizon.“I can only imagine what you’re feeling,” Alan says, closing the door.Luís turns to Alan, his worried frown evident. “What do you think, cousin? Am I going to win or lose this fight?”“You have every chance of winning,” Alan replies, moving closer. “However, I have some news for you. Things might get easier if you agree to the conditions.”Luís becomes interested and sits down in his chair. “Did you speak with your uncle?”“I visited him at his house. He was there, showing off his bare chest and boasting about his wife and kids,” Alan smiles slightly. “He said he’s willing to retract and back off from the pursuit if you live the same lifestyle.”Luís’ eyes widen in disbelief. “Is he serious? He wants me to stop having fun and live with a traditional family?”“Exactly,” Alan explains further. “Cousin, you need to understand that since Sofia is connected to me
Building My Life Chapter 3048 The New Secretary
Luís visits Rocha Constructions and heads straight to Alan’s office.“Hey, where’s the pretty blonde secretary who used to be at that desk?”Alan frowns. “There wasn’t any pretty blonde secretary. That was Reuben Freire, my brother-in-law who ran off with Carol.”“ARGH, what a waste of a desk!” Luís laughs at the joke.“Look, they say a good comedian doesn’t laugh at their own jokes,” Alan gestures for Luís to sit down.“Well, I’m not here to be a comedian. My job is to oversee your hotel’s affairs.” Luís takes a seat.“Actually, that hotel will belong to my brother David, along with the other hotels scattered across Brazil,” Alan responds glumly.“Jeez, why so downcast?”“You know. He’s not satisfied with this generous portion. He wants my place here,” Alan points to himself and the office.“Anyway, if it weren’t for him, I’d have my girlfriend and a traditional and respectful relationship.” Luís smiles slightly. “Still, I’ve thought about what you said. I’m going to accept.”Alan is
Building My Life Chapter 3049 A Permitted Wedding
The newsstands began selling the latest edition of Maggiezine featuring Kelvin and Karen on the cover, smiling and announcing their wedding. At the Teodoro building, Daniela read the article with interest, leaning over the tenant service counter. Pedro was typing important things on the computer. “What’s up, dear? Is the cover story interesting?” Pedro smiled. “Very interesting!” Daniela returned the smile, “It seems Josias Rocha gave his blessing for this relationship. There’s a paragraph mentioning ‘no hard feelings’ from him and Melissa.” “Uncle Josias has always been a merciful guy. Now, as long as there are no more messes involving the fiancée and Aunt Melissa...” Pedro commented, recalling the ‘love triangle’ that never materialized. Teresa appeared in the lobby. “Daniela, have you finished reading the magazine?” “Yes, you can take it.” Daniela handed the magazine to her future mother-in-law. Teresa shot Daniela a look as if to say, ‘Ask him!’ and left. Gathering courage
Building My Life Chapter 3050 Unwilling to Make Deals
Luís appeared at Café Montanha and found Leonardo being served by Neilton. “Oh, can you bring another cappuccino for my client?” Leonardo asked as he saw Luís approaching. “Yes, I can.” Neilton looked at Luís with conflicting emotions. Luís sat down. “Here I am. What do you have to tell me, lawyer?” “I think we need to know where we stand, huh?” Leonardo smiled slightly and sipped a gulp of his cappuccino. Luís nodded. “Okay, let’s be straightforward. Lawyer Borges, I really appreciate your promptness and services, but I don’t intend to move forward with the lawsuit. If a conciliation hearing is still necessary...” Leonardo shook his head. “Not so much. We can handle it directly at the agency without involving the Brazilian judiciary.” “Thank goodness.” Luís smiled, relieved. “The sooner we resolve this, the better.” Leonardo decided to ask first before revealing that he had kicked things off with Josias. “What made you change your mind?” “Alan Campos Rocha talked to his uncl
Building My Life Chapter 3051 Congenital Situation
At the Mountain Penthouse, Karen and Tony continue their conversation. “Well, you know what happens when you steal your best friend’s boyfriend,” Karen replies, trying to sound indifferent. Tony doesn’t take the news well. “Huh? What kind of nonsense is this? Your boyfriend was with another woman, the owner of the store where you were modeling?” “Calm down, Tony. Don’t blame him. We both acted on our desires,” Karen responds in a soothing tone. “But a guy who dumps his girlfriend for you could just as easily dump you for another girl, sister,” Tony retorts. “I can’t let this happen.” “That won’t happen,” Karen smiles hopefully. “Sure it won’t. I’ll have a little talk with him,” Tony frowns. “I’ve read a lot about the Mountain family that I didn’t like. Although your future sister-in-law seems like a nice person.” Karen looks over Tony’s shoulder and sees Maggie returning with cups of tea. She widens her eyes, fearing that Maggie might take offense to the comment. But Maggie r
Building My Life Chapter 3052 David, giving up on the Hotel?
At Damascene Lawyers, Leonardo is talking to Theodore and Brigitte at the entrance of Miguel Damascene’s grand office. “Is your dad in there, Little Theo?” Leonardo asks. “Hey, that nickname is only for close friends, including my husband,” Brigitte jokes, making everyone laugh. “Yes, he’s in. I was going to talk to him, but if your case is more urgent...” Theodore steps away from the door. “No way!” Leonardo backs away further in reverence. “I can’t interrupt a healthy conversation between father and son. What are you going to talk about – your first high school sweetheart?” “I graduated high school a while ago.” Theodore winks and enters his dad’s office. Brigitte laughs more and more. “He, he, he... Leo, you really put your foot in it.” “It happens to the best lawyers,” Leonardo shrugs, pretending he wasn’t embarrassed. “Anyway, Alan told my husband and me that you’re not going to sue João Paulo anymore,” Brigitte comments excitedly. “Hey, don’t let Mr. Damascene cut my co
Building My Life Chapter 3053 Matthew Breaks Free
In Neilton’s apartment, he and Benjamin try to calm an angry David after the conversation he had with his mother. Everyone is still in their pajamas, and Benjamin is shirtless. “David, calm down, buddy!” Benjamin tells David to sit on the couch. “Your mother must not have thought straight!” “You’re right, she didn’t think!” David complains sulkily. “She has a nephew who can take care of everything in Rio, where the stores are headquartered. My goal is to work side by side with my father!” Neilton raises an eyebrow. “I hope you’re not thinking about the absurdity of usurping Alan’s place. You already have the hotel chain, while J.J. has Vasconcelos Fabrics. Carol, it seems, will take care of the buildings and hotels in Rio.” “Carol is studying journalism, though she doesn’t need to work if Reuben uses his brain and does well in Rio.” David responds begrudgingly, “But according to my mother, I don’t even deserve the hotels! She hasn’t thought about all those years I’ve given my bloo
Building My Life Chapter 3054 Brigitte Takes Action
General Hospital, Matthew Hogan’s office. Matthew has just spilled the truth that will set him free and imprison the Vasquez family in a spiral of intrigue and problems. “What... what does that mean?” William asks after a few seconds in shock. “That’s exactly what you heard, William.” Matthew nods seriously. “Mr. Vasquez came here with some pain in his ribs because you kicked him or something like that. He wanted me to create a false test result stating that he was in critical condition and that a broken rib nearly pierced his lungs or other vital organs.” William remembers the story and starts to turn red with indignation. “Oh, that old filthy swindler!” “Calm down, William. I’m telling you this so you can understand once and for all.” Matthew gestures. “I understand, doctor.” William glares at Matthew. “I just don’t understand how the Vasquez family managed to catch you so easily to ask for something like this.” “How did they ‘catch’ me?” Matthew raises his eyebrows. “Surel

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,
