Building My Life Chapter 3130 It’s Better I Stay Close
Erasmo and Sofia rush into the hospital. Matthew is nowhere to be seen, but another doctor greets them with the smile they were hoping for. “Good morning, Vasquez family. Are you ready for the visit you’ve been waiting for?” “YES!” Erasmo and Sofia exclaimed at the same time. “Okay, I’ll allow you to go in one at a time.” Sofia nudges Erasmo. “You go first, Dad. You’re the husband, and you have priority.” Erasmo feels a lump in his throat. “Thank you, daughter.” “In the meantime, I’ll try to call or text Alan, if the worst hasn’t happened in Paris.” Sofia brandishes her phone. Erasmo enters the room where Olivia is resting. She looks quite comfortable in the hospital bed. Her left arm is connected to multi-parameter monitors tracking her blood pressure and heart rate. An experienced nurse is removing an IV bag that had been dripping medication. Olivia opens her eyes and gives a slight smile. “Dear...” “Don’t strain yourself, sweetheart. Your daughter and I are here.” Erasmo
Building My Life Chapter 3131 Sharing Secrets
At General Hospital, Sofia enters Olivia’s room and finds her mother awake, talking with her father. “Mom...” “My dear daughter...” Olivia’s eyes are filled with tears. “Don’t cry so much, Mom.” Sofia stepped closer, emotional. “It’s so good to have you back.” “Your father said Alan had to travel... Vernon Queiroz...” “I know, it’s sad news.” Sofia replied absentmindedly, “But Alan will be happy when he returns and finds you alive and better.” “Yes, my grandson A.J. needs me. Where is he?” “Engrácia is taking care of him.” Erasmo stands up. “Sit here, daughter. I’ll leave you two to talk.” “Thank you, Dad.” Erasmo and Sofia switch seats. Olivia waits for Erasmo to leave and close the door. “Mom, what’s with that look? It seems like you want to tell me a secret...” “I WANT to tell you a secret.” Olivia looked at her daughter with distress. “Shh... Don’t be one of those people who want to confess sins because the time is coming. You are NOT dying today, do you hear me?” So
Building My Life Chapter 3132 Breaking Barriers
At General Hospital, Sofia is horrified when Olivia shares a dark secret. “MOM!” Her eyes are welling with tears. “Is that why you felt so much about Luís leaving...?” “Yes, dear. I wanted him back. Having Luís away from me is a constant reminder of what we did! I didn’t even get a chance to talk to him honestly... the poor thing must be hiding out in Spain, refusing to come back here because he feels guilty!” Clearly, Olivia is hiding the “little” detail that she had been harboring sinful desires for her nephew for years. Sofia swallows hard. “Mom, it could be something else. Maybe Luís confessed to my uncle and aunt, and now they’re forbidding him from coming back.” “But they would’ve told Erasmo when he called!” Olivia exclaims, horrified by the possibility. “What if my uncle is emotionally blackmailing Luís with that?” Sofia suggests. “If Luís doesn’t return to Brazil, his secret would be safe. If Luís comes back here, my uncle would tell everything to my dad.” The multi-pa
Building My Life Chapter 3133 Opening of the Melissa Mall (1)
The inauguration of the Melissa Mall took place on a Saturday. As a result, many people who would normally be working took the opportunity to celebrate yet another historic achievement in Josias Rocha’s legacy. A crowd of admirers stopped in front of the creatively designed two-story mall, shaped like the letter ‘M.’ When the people saw the aerial photo, they playfully marveled. “He, he... the mall is shaped like the letter ‘M,’ how creative!” “M for ‘Mall’ and ‘Melissa.’” “That Josias Rocha is truly in love with his wife. That’s why the concubines he finds never stand a chance!” David walked past the group gossiping about this, frowning. He would never consider his mother as a ‘replacement,’ ‘concubine,’ or ‘the other woman.’ The project team was dressed appropriately. J.J. spotted David approaching with the same frown from a distance and stopped him, “Where do you think you’re going, man?” “Get out of my way, J.J.!” “No way! You’re not passing without smiling for the cam
Building My Life Chapter 3134 Opening of the Melissa Mall (2)
Thus, the Reis and Lafayette families appeared at the opening of the Melissa Mall as planned. Caio approached them, noticing the absence of the patriarch.“Hey, where’s Beto?”“My dad had a slight discomfort when he buttoned his shirt and felt it tightening on him,” Pedro explained.“Oh, Jeez, is he okay?” Brigitte asked, extremely worried.“Yes, he’s going to watch the ceremony at home with Tess,” Rosemary replied.“Oh, what a relief. Look, you brought Jean Luc!” Brigitte leaned over the stroller.Thierry smiled with paternal pride. Jean Luc, in turn, was sleeping despite all the noise and commotion from the adults.“He wakes up wanting to eat in the early morning,” Rosemary joked, causing laughter among the women.Daniela stepped back a bit, thinking about the possibility of becoming a mother herself.Diane noticed her and approached her. “What’s wrong, Daniela? Are you yearning to be a mother too? With someone big and virile like Pete, it shouldn’t be too hard...”Daniela pursed he

David, the one who swore not to embarrass others and even mocked some, was now the one causing the biggest mess by attacking William.Everyone around was shocked by the scene, hearing Rosemary’s scream.Thierry, who was still nearby, was the first to stop David.Other men rushed to help, separating the fight.Daryl had the presence of mind to position himself behind William just as he was falling.Photographers from Maggiezine and LCN were reveling in taking pictures, capturing every detail of the moment!“That was close, buddy!” Daryl exclaimed, saving William from another fall.“Mr. Mountain... Daryl...” Dora approached with tear-filled eyes. “Thank you so much! If Will had fallen again... his leg...”“He could end up paralyzed, in a wheelchair!” Simeon exclaimed furiously. “What happened here?”David glared at everyone. “Maybe your son shouldn’t provoke others if h

Days went by. Melissa Mall became one of the most visited commercial spots by tourists and locals alike.It also turned into a quite profitable venture!Due to high demand, the ‘Jobs’ section of the LCN newspaper doubled in size, exciting the unemployed.The lower class was one of the beneficiaries in terms of jobs and income.In the Teodoro Building, a tenant excitedly said to Daniela, “I got a job, I got a job! I’ll be a saleswoman at an international luxury store!”Daniela raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Really? But do you have any experience as a saleswoman in international luxury?”The tenant, a young lady in her twenties, shrugged. “They are desperately in need of workers, right? They can’t afford to be too picky. And how will I gain experience if they never give me the opportunity?”“You’re right, girl! Everything
Building My Life Chapter 3137 In Memoriam, Vernon Queiroz
At the Vasquez Mansion, Sofia was playing with A.J. on the floor of her suite. “Missing Daddy, little one?” Sofia asked as she encouraged her son to walk toward her. A.J. made his way over, planting kisses on his mother’s cheek, full of playfulness. “Yes, I miss him too...” Sofia laughed and laughed. Her phone rang, and she checked the caller ID. “Look who’s calling!” Sofia exclaimed excitedly as she answered. “Hello, darling! A.J. and I were just talking about you...” In Alan’s guest room, he replied somberly, “Dear, unfortunately, it has happened.” “Your grandfather...?” “It was truly his time to go.” Alan sighed in mourning. “Oh, darling, I’m so sorry! Your dad and João Paulo must be devastated, especially João Paulo and Elza!” Sofia stood up from the floor. “Yes, everyone is sad, but trying to accept that this is part of life. João Paulo is speaking with all the press contacts. Someone from LCN will replace him in the column because he doesn’t want to write about his fat

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,
