Building My Life Chapter 3055 Gossiping Lawyer
At Pizzeria Campos, Caio meets his father. William is sweeping unusually hard, wearing a scowl. “Dad, you called me, and I got worried.” Caio closes the gate. “It’s for us to worry indeed, son!” William replies, stopping his sweeping. “Sit down, you’re going to need to.” Caio sits at the indicated table. William does the same. “Prepare yourself: my leg, for now, cannot be fixed.” Caio smiles sympathetically. “Is that why? Did the doctor promise anything?” “No, I was the one deceived by the diagnosis and ‘cure’ of another ‘patient’,” William responds bitterly. Caio notices the emphasis on the keywords. “Any reason for me not to believe the patient and his cure?” “We’re talking about Erasmo Vasquez,” William huffs. “Uh-oh... I’m not liking this...” Caio raises his eyebrows. William leans forward. “Yes, son. Dr. Hogan was unwillingly ensnared in a web of lies. Erasmo Vasquez was not on the brink of death from the kick I gave him. At most, he had some dislocation and muscle pain
Building My Life Chapter 3056 William Wants to Cause Trouble Again
William and Caio carefully discuss what to do to help Matthew. “Dad, what are you thinking of doing with this latest bombshell?” William smirks wickedly. “I’ve always caused discord among the people here. Do I still have the practice and skill?” “Maybe you do. But I worry about possible blowbacks, especially if Uncle Josias doesn’t approve. Is it true that the lawsuit between Uncle João Paulo and Luís Vasquez won’t go ahead?” William shakes his head. “No. It was Luís Vasquez’s lawyer who approached Josias, explaining that such a lawsuit would be burdensome and costly to the public coffers, something like that.” “I thought Damascene Lawyers was a private agency. Uncle Josias pays a fortune to be their client,” Caio chuckles, “And my dear wife works hard handling marriages, divorces, and wills.” William smiles faintly. “It would be interesting if Josias’s will fell into her hands.” Caio shakes his head. “No, Dad. Brigitte has been talking to Alan about many things, and Alan remai
Building My Life Chapter 3057 Taking Care of Health
Josias and Beto are taking a stroll in the banquet hall of Rocha Events Hall.“Here it is, my friend.” Josias gestures around. “What do you think of what you see?”“I think everything is very beautiful, Josias.” Beto is emotional. “The hall is quite spacious, just what we’ll need.”Josias looks at his friend. “Beto, how have you been? I heard the news that your children are undergoing heart exams.”Beto bites his lower lip. “You shouldn’t stress about that, my friend.”“What do you mean?” Josias furrows his brow. “I need to know; I want to help.”“How can you help me?” Beto raises his eyebrows.“By sending the best cardiologist in Brazil,” Josias replies seriously. “Just as I’m offering you the best event hall for your son to get married.”Beto smiles again. “This will serve us well.”Teresa and Rosemary approach, coming from the kitchen.“Dear, you can sign the contract. This place is perfect!” Teresa is smiling, but she notices the gentlemen weren’t talking about the wedding. “What’

As they leave for the parking lot of Rocha Events Hall, Teresa pokes Rosemary’s back.She understands the message and approaches Josias. “Uncle Josias.”“Yes?” Josias turns to her with a patient smile.“I’m sorry if I overreacted. I didn’t mean to be rude.”“I don’t consider you rude at all, Rose.” Josias hugs her.“I can’t even think about the idea of Pete dying so young,” Rosemary laments. “It’s already hard to think about my father. He’s approaching sixty and needs to retire from the building’s management as soon as possible.”“Hasn’t he delegated tasks to Pete and Daniela?” Josias raises his eyebrows.Rosemary smiles by the left corner of her mouth. “Yes, but one day I showed up at the building and found him glued to Daniela, talking about the accounting as if he needed to teach her. Daniela is a professional accountant. She was very polite in not shooing my father out of the office.”Josias bursts out laughing.Not too far away, Teresa comments to Beto.“Come on, dear. I’m curiou
Building My Life Chapter 3059 The Idea Takes Shape
In the Teodoro building, Daniela is assisting with collecting rental payments from tenants. “Miss Lombardi, how are the wedding preparations going?” the curious tenant asked. Daniela smiled. “Everything is going wonderfully. My boyfriend’s family is checking out that new event hall, Rocha Events Hall.” The tenant raised his eyebrows, astonished by the luxury. Beto, Teresa, and Rosemary entered next. “Daniela, hasn’t your boyfriend returned from the hospital yet?” Beto asked. “He called to say he was grabbing a bite at Café Montanha,” Daniela informed him. “Maycon was hungry.” “Well, they had to fast due to the exams,” Teresa laughed. “Is everything alright here? I can take over at the front desk.” “I really wanted to get back to the office computer,” Daniela and Teresa exchanged places. Daniela went to the office, and Rosemary followed behind. “So, Rose? Was the venue approved?” Daniela asked dreamily. “Yes, Daniela. You, as the bride, will love it,” Rosemary took a deep br

Josias and Melissa met at the Rocha Mansion, in her office. “How is Isabel, dear?” “Izzy is well. She’s just a bit worried about Francisco,” Melissa replied while flipping through printed scripts. Josias sat down on the couch. “That’s concerning. Francisco is over seventy. He appears strong, was fit when I met him, but age comes for all of us.” Melissa joked, “Please don’t remind me that we’re approaching fifty.” Josias laughed heartily. “You hardly look it, dear. You still look gorgeous and attractive.” Melissa blushed like the teenager from Happiness Slum she used to be. “Anyway, Isabel is also over seventy. It’s great that she passed the direction of the telenovela to you. The ratings are promising,” Josias continued, confident as always. “Beto chose Rocha Events Hall.” Melissa looked up at him. “Oh, how nice! So we’ll have another wedding this year.” “Yes, and I hope Beto is alive to witness at least his eldest son’s wedding,” Josias became melancholic. Melissa nodded, k
Building My Life Chapter 3061 Out of Danger
Rocha Mansion, sunny day. William visits his older sister and finds everyone still at the breakfast table. “What’s going on, guys? You’re waking up late, huh?” Simeon replies with his mouth full, “It’s you who’s waking up earlier than a farmer!” Everyone laughs. J.J. comments, “By the way, I should wake up early like Uncle Will.” William ruffles J.J.’s hair. “I still can’t get used to you being in the land of the living, man!” “One day reality will sink in,” J.J. joked. “I’m going to wait in the living room. I need to talk to my parents, Josias.” “Suit yourself.” Josias responded after swallowing his bread with scrambled eggs. William leaves, getting Dora and Simeon curious. “What does that boy want to talk to us about?” Dora wonders excitedly. “Does he want to talk about the leg?” Melissa suggests, “He’s been talking to Dr. Hogan, Dr. Silvana’s son.” “Let’s hope so.” Simeon sighs, “If even someone like Erasmo Vasquez is entitled to a divine miracle, what about my son, who

William and Brigitte enter the living room. “So, my dear daughter-in-law, what have you been up to?” “Not much.” Brigitte sits on the couch. “I came to talk to Josias about the will he wants me to handle.” William notices a triumphant smile on Brigitte’s face. “You seem to be quite happy about this.” “Yes, I am!” Brigitte exclaims ecstatically. “It was something I was looking for. Taking care of something related to the Rocha family means I will grow in importance at the agency.” “Miguel Damascene will trust you deeply, huh?” William smiles in solidarity. “Don’t mess things up because he’ll be watching.” “And how wouldn’t I know? I know my boss.” Josias opens the door and finds his future lawyer. “Hello, Brigitte! Can we talk in my office? Will, your parents are coming.” “Okay, I’ll wait here.” William nodded. Brigitte stood up and left with Josias. Shortly after, with the door still open, Simeon and Dora entered. “Son, tell us what it is,” Simeon commands, sitting on the c

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
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,
