2022-02-24 18:29:01At Rocha Constructions, Melissa enters the presidential room. Josias is on his feet, calling Victoria City Hall to get the building permits in order.
"OK, so I'll be sending a representative to pay all fees. The firm's architect will send copies of the plans and all the data so you can stay abreast of our project. Thank you very much for your help." He hangs up, "Hi, honey! Phew, how difficult it is to build another building in the capital. The new administration has released a civil plan full of new regulations that I can't understand."
Melissa soothes him, "That's why Will, taking the updated Civil Engineering course, will masterfully help and replace you."
Josias expresses a doubt he has, "Sometimes I think I should increase my academic training with Higher Education."
But Melissa doesn't buy the idea, "That would be nice, honey, but you have so much to do and decide... I think you're already learning practically what they would teach you in college."<

Meanwhile, in the Rocha penthouse, the radio in the living room is playing "Crying in the Rain" by A-Ha. Carlos is having tea served by Lilian. Lilian is wearing the classic maid uniform. Melissa appears from Rocha Constructions. "Thank you very much, Lilian... hello, my dear granddaughter! So, did you throw cold water on those quarrelsome boys?" Melissa sits down on the sofa opposite him, and asks Lilian, "Lilian, serve me the same tea, please." "Just now, madam." Lilian leaves to get another cup. Melissa replies to Carlos, "Well, grandpa, the task was not easy. I arrived at the same time as the parents of the boy who was sent unconscious to the hospital." Carlos is shocked, "Jesus! The boy died and are the parents going to sue Benjamin?" Melissa wiggles, "No, he woke up from the faint and swore in tears that he would never bother Cousin Ben again." Carlos raises an eyebrow, "And did their parents get any compe

At Rocha penthouse, Ernesto is organizing Josias's private library, including a book by Stendhal that he had ordered. Melissa enters at this moment."Ernesto, can I talk to you?""Yes ma'am. I'm always available."Melissa passes on the instruction, "I want to thank you for your willingness to always take care of my son and my nephew when you take them to school. However, when bad things like today's fight coming up, don't let them witness these strong and inappropriate things."Ernesto analyzes how pale and uncomfortable Melissa looks, "Madam Rocha, I'm so sorry. I failed to please you. There was a violent school fight and I let the boys witness it."Melissa smiles kindly, "Don't worry, I know you got distracted because it was my cousin. But right now Alan and Caio are thrilled to learn boxing and others savageries that I won't allow. Kids soak up a lot around them, and I want them to learn only good things."Ernesto understands that Alan wo

At dusk, Igor is closing the office to leave. Tiago enters to give him the news of Josias. "Igor, Josias needs someone to represent him at Victoria City Hall to get the Melissa Building started. I suggested you go." Igor is surprised by the news, "Any legal problems?" Tiago disguises it, he doesn't want to be direct, "Maybe... at the moment it's just formalities that need to be done." However, Igor looks like he understands, "And you think it would be a good idea for me to travel and clear my head, right?" Tiago no longer disguises it, "That's right. You're very thoughtful about Stacy, but it's about time you got over it. Maybe in the Capital, you'll find another more interesting girl?" Igor responds with a sigh, "I just hope Adrian doesn't worsen her psychological situation. I believed I could help her." "And Adrian can't help Stacy?" Igor closes the blinds as he replies, "Come on, Tiago. Do you remember that Adrian us
Building My Life Chapter 1073 The Autograph Session
Friday. The Marçal bookstore is being prepared for the great release of the writer Isabel Freire with her debut work, "Love Just Happens". Maggie is taking care of the preparation, advising salespeople about the sales booth, the table where Isabel will sign, how much the book will sell for, and everything else. The Marçal bookstore is the place where Bernardo usually does a kind of test or pre-sale: if the book is a success in the publisher's bookstore, then they will distribute the book throughout Espírito Santo, perhaps Brazil, and the rest of the world. Vernon appears foaming with rage. Maggie asks him, "Vernon, what is this face? We should be happy with the launch of what promises to be our next source of income. The Biography of Josias Rocha won't sell so strong forever." Vernon brags, "I know, the whole world is buying it, thanks to me." Maggie teases him, "And you're the one behind Isabel Freire?" Vernon holds back the u

Stacy is curious about what Igor means. He looks like he's going to die. "So, what do you have so important to tell me? Today promises to be busy at Crystal Blue." Igor is stalling, "How's the restaurant?" Stacy replies wryly, "Excellent. I'm afraid to say the Montanha brothers' administration is better than yours." Igor feels punched, "Marcelo would do his best if he wasn't busy traumatizing you." Stacy is unfazed by the memories, "Anyway, that's in the past." Igor decides to say what he wanted, "Someone doesn't get rid of the past." Stacy narrows her eyes, "Who are you talking about?" Igor impatiently responds with another question, "Stacy, are you dating that idiot Adrian Barbosa? William has been mumbling at the company that saw you two having dinner romantically." Stacy shrugs, "He must have seen us through the window." "Is he the man the psychiatrist approved of?" Stacy starts looking at Cr

What about the romantic dinner guy?"Stacy is emphatic, "This is the problem. He was always in love with Melissa Rocha, but she chose Josias. Igor Bento did me the favor of reminding me of that."Daryl got pissed off, "Don't let that asshole get to you, Stacy.

Ah, I don't even know why I'm saying this, you were already born to shine on the road to success." Isabel thanks him while autographing, "Thank you, Josias. I'm not the eighth wonder of the world, but my effort to entertain people is sincere." Melissa assures her, "I kept all the magazines that your story came out in my bedroom. But, now I'm going to read the book and keep it in the penthouse library." Isabel informs them both, "Mr. Marçal said that my next story will be directly released in book form, how cool."

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

Vaztrans, morning. Brand new buses come in and out of the garage, with drivers and fare collectors smiling in their new uniforms. In William’s office (which used to belong to Olivia), he scratched his forehead while researching and checking the financial spreadsheets. Sofia, greeted like a diva by the staff, entered the office. “Good morning to you too! Have a good day at work!” She approached the desk. “Good morning, Will! What’s with that long face?” “I’m not making a long face. I’m making a face of someone who doesn’t understand this accounting,” William replied, still looking at the monitor. “What’s the problem? Are we broke again?” Sofia’s eyes widened. “No.” William finally looked at her, with a mischievous smile. “We have so much slack that we could pay off one of the installments of the loan we took from Josias if we wanted to.” Sofia continued with wide eyes. “Oh, that’s incredible, right?” William kept smiling. “Sofia, you’re not getting my astonishment. The point is
Chapter 3208 A Night in the Cell to Reflect
At Rocha Constructions, Josias and Alan faced a dilemma: should they start a war against the Borges brothers? Thierry noticed their initial hesitation. “If it’s too much for you two, forget it. J.J. and I will manage on our own. Maybe Daryl can help us.” The mention of Daryl made Josias react, “Wait a minute, Thierry. We never said we wouldn’t help you. On the contrary, I feel the same way: that truck was deliberately sent against the supermarket to cause that accident.” “Yeah, a way to force J.J. to choose between focusing on the farm or on Vasconcelos. No one but the Borges brothers was interested in that.” Thierry smiled slightly. “The problem is we have no proof.” Josias put his hands in his pockets. “The truck was on the street, there are no surveillance cameras nearby.” Alan asked, “But J.J. decided to stay with Vasconcelos, right?” “Exactly. That was our way of getting back at them.” Josias nodded. “So, our only form of investigation will be to observe how Reynaldo Borges
Chapter 3207 The Law Must Be Obeyed
Just out of spite, David was taken to the Happiness Slum police station, where Dylan was now interrogating him and pressing him against the wall. David was shaking while handcuffed, thinking he might have a chance to escape. “What is going on here? LET ME GO! This station is not equipped to handle my problems!” Dylan sat at the desk, keeping one of his subordinates nearby, standing by the door. “Oh really? It just so happens that it’s the opposite: Commissioner Tavares said he doesn’t want to see your face at the headquarters!” David was horrified by the remark. “What does that mean? We can’t allow such abuse! Call my dad immediately!” Dylan, grinning with delight, leaned back in his chair. “Mr. Souza, it was your father who ordered us to remove you from the Rocha Constructions building.” “That’s IMPOSSIBLE! My dad never ordered Alan’s arrest!” “Isn’t it because Alan Campos Rocha has never given the police any reason to detain him?” Dylan asked ironically. “And on what charges
Chapter 3206 Is Daniela Pregnant?
At the management office of Lafayette Supermarket, Thierry was signing a fat check for a member of the Cintra family. The man, who was the victim’s brother, was staring at everyone with disdain and arrogance. “You have to understand that we can no longer shop at this supermarket, right?” he kept saying. “My poor brother used to come here because the wine prices were cheaper, but now... we’re going to have to resort to the little store closer to home, even if it costs more!” Nadia was outraged. “Mr. Cintra, don’t be arrogant!” Mr. Cintra raised his chin at Nadia. “I can sue you for this too, you know?” “No, you can’t,” Thierry emphasized, tearing the check from the invoice and hastily extending it to him. “Take it and get out of our sight!” “You are in the wrong and still want to play the victim!” Mr. Cintra simply felt entitled to cluck. “Thank goodness my brother didn’t die! Otherwise, we would tear this crappy supermarket down! It was much better when the Ramos family ran this

The next day, Daniela was talking to Dr. Matthew Hogan at General Hospital. “Alright, Daniela,” he said with a smile. “I hope we don't find anything serious in your tests.” “Could I... be pregnant?” Daniela asked in a whisper. Talking to Matthew inevitably reminded her of Silvana Hogan, his mother and a famous obstetrician. “My mother is now retired and enjoying the Bahamas,” Matthew said kindly. “If your test results indicate you’re expecting, we’ll refer you to the appropriate department.” “Thank you so much, Dr. Hogan!” Daniela extended her hand, and Matthew shook it. A few moments later, Daniela was walking through the corridors, thinking about the possibility of being pregnant. She even placed her right hand on her belly, already imagining herself carrying the heir of the Reis family. She smiled mischievously as she recalled the countless nights of passionate love where Pedro ravaged her mercilessly, only stopping when the alarm rang the next morning. How could she not
Chapter 3204 Someone is Not Feeling Well
Melissa worried about her parents' objection regarding the twins getting involved with their paternal family. "Mom, Dad, I understand your concern." Melissa broke the silence. "But in a way, they're right. I don't have the right to completely cut them off from Kelvin. Besides, they have another little brother." Dora looked at her wristwatch. "At this hour, Mary must be in the penthouse, keeping an eye on Anthony." "Oh, did they say they were going to do that?" Melissa smiled slightly. "Yes, someone texted them asking for it. Probably Kelvin," Simeon replied seriously. Dora explained, "Daughter, let's hope Daryl doesn't take advantage of the closeness to poison our grandchildren's minds." Melissa was alarmed. "What are you saying, Mom? I won't allow that!" "No, I know you won't allow it." Dora frowned. "That's why I hope you visit Kelvin and set some boundaries." "If I bring this up, I'll unintentionally be starting a stupid war," Melissa retorted. "They know their boundaries.

At Rocha Constructions, Sofia is eager to prove that she was right all along about Suzy. She leaned back against Alan again, wanting information. "Dear, before we were interrupted, you were saying something about me being right to be suspicious of Suzy Cogo. I knew that smartass was planning something!" Alan scratched the back of his neck. "I feel like she was the one Everaldo mentioned in the prophecy." Sofia's eyes lit up. "That's true! Suzy is the only one investing out there! Do you think she will want a slice of Rocha Constructions?" "I sincerely hope my dad doesn't agree to sell any shares. I won't do that. Better warn Caio." Alan became serious. "Well, I'll have to put up with her at Vaztrans." Sofia sighed, feeling discouraged. Alan turned to his wife with curiosity. "Speaking of which, dear, we haven't heard any news about Vaztrans being in trouble this year. Did you finally manage to control the spending?" Sofia looked confused. "Uh, I don't know what you're talking a

Sofia reacted, obviously pleased, when none other than her husband stated that she was right.Unable to resist any longer, she sat on Alan's lap and delivered THAT delicious, passionate kiss.When the kiss ended, Alan was perplexed, eyes wide."What was that for?" He asked, lost."You silly!" Sofia began to laugh. "This is your reward for believing in me. And tonight, you'll have another reward that's under my panties—"The last phrase was clearly heard by Caio, who was opening the door at that moment.Sofia quickly bounced off Alan's lap, trying to disguise the intimacy. Caio blushed slightly, smiling awkwardly.Alan smiled nervously. "Wow, everyone decided to start early in 2012! Good morning, cousin."Caio avoided looking at Sofia. "Good morning, cousin. Do we have any updates regarding our annual meeting?""My dad appointed me president – again." Alan's cat-like grin indicated that he wasn't complaining. "And we'll have all the important people, just like last year."Caio's face g
