Building My Life Chapter 1223 Time to Wake Up
In Pamela's private office, she and Carmen are comfortable in emerald upholstered armchairs.“Tell me, sis, what happened to our mother.” Pamela is already distressed.“Pam...” Carmen speaks slowly, “The detective who is taking care of the case discovered that someone sabotaged the car that Seu Moacyr and our mother were in.”Pamela is confused, “And since when did the accident become a 'case'?”Carmen raises her hands, “I don't know. The Forensic team checked the car without compromise and found that the wires that run the brakes were cut. From there the situation became a criminal investigation.”Pamela's eyes widen, “So Adrian tried to kill his own father just so he wouldn't be with our mother?”“The detective is still investigating—”Pamela stands up abruptly, “There's nothing else to investigate! When he finds out about the judicial impediment that Miguel got...”Carmen gets up and restrains her younger sister, “Pam, the police are suspicious of our father too!”Pamela wiggles fr

Bye!”Lilian hangs up and euphorically tells every

A few weeks go by. Cristina is getting healthier and healthier, recovering from the accident. A physical therapist recommended she should walk again to find out if her leg motor function had been affected.When Cristina starts walking with her hands on the iron bars, the physical therapist notices that she barely makes an effort.“Very well, Cristina.” He compliments her, “I can see you're just weak from the time you've been lying down, but soon you'll get that back too.”“Does that mean I won't be paralyzed?” Cristina asks anxiously.“Of course not, who told you such nonsense?”Cristina fades her smile, “I had the feeling when I saw my husband in the wheelchair. Looks like he doesn't get out of there.”“He is also recovering, my friend.” The doctor seems to be hiding something as he is not facing the patient.Cristina has the same feeling but decides to focus on walking between the bars.******At Angela's apartment, she enters with numerous plastic bags from the Ramos Supermarket.

Dora is upset to see that William practically confessed to her why he got punched.“You said you were robbed and the thief punched you!” Dora complains.“Who told you such nonsense?” William still has the nerve to pretend.“I just got a call from your uncle, reporting you.” Dora approaches him, “Who punched you, Tiago or Igor?”“It was a thief, mother, I was robbed!” William screams in panic like he's the same crybaby from 1980.Dora has the same feeling, “How ironic. You in that expensive and social outfit, as if you were an adult businessman, you actually behave as if you were still that whiny kid from the past, that boring guy who wanted Melissa to be a spinster.”William reddens, “Yeah, what's the use? Now Melissa is destroyed because the bastard allowed himself to die when he went to shut up his lover! If Melissa had obeyed me, none of this would have happened!”Simeon appears in the living room and joins in the conversation, “Son, if Melissa hadn't married Josias, we wouldn't ha

He calls her to attend to her.“Next!”Angela sits down with a smile, “Good afternoon, I came to open my savings account.”“Documents, please.” Raymond requests with a serious face.Angela is a little intimidated. Actually, Raymond is in a bad mood because of everything he's been going through.He types the data provided by the new client with extra force into the computer. The bank brought this technological novelty and Raymond was forced to take a computer course at night, making him more tired due to the tight routine.“Would you not be the same Angela Sousa who claimed to be pregnant with Josias Rocha?” Raymond narrows his eyes.Angela gets outraged, “I didn't claim; David IS the son of Josias!”“The newspapers said that Josias was in a car accident on his way back from the capital after visiting you.” Raymond smiles sarcastically.“Yes, and I will be eternally sad about it.” Angela snorts.“And you didn't stop giving interviews t

Wait for my instructions.” Bernardo hangs up the phone and looks up when he feels someone enter the office, “Oh, it's you, my love. How was the interview with the sensation couple of the moment?”Maggie sits in the visitors' chair, dreamily, “Ah... how beautiful love is!”“You look like a teenager in love.” Bernardo jokes.“Well, I'm not that old yet.” Maggie chimed in, “The interview was a success. Mr. and Mrs. Barbosa love each other and are more united than ever. The face of Mr. Barbosa only withered away when he mentioned his son.”“His son?” Bernardo narrows his eyes.“I already had them search: Adrian Barbosa. This is the same nut who goes around saying he's going to marry Melissa Rocha.”“Careful, Maggie, we don't want to harm Widow Rocha,” Bernard

Tuesday. Melissa is standing in a graphite-colored pantsuit listening to the headlines on the radio.“And the residents of the Rocha residential complex had a little party yesterday in honor of the late Josias Rocha. Now enjoy Deborah Blando's new hit 'Innocence'!”The music starts to play, and the ballad leaves Melissa thoughtful, remembering the romantic and intimate moments she spent with Josias, the great love of her life.When Melissa was thinking about the night she asked Josias to perform a striptease dressed as a firefighter, the doorbell rang, and she decides to stop thinking to answer it.Upon opening the door, William appears without waiting for an invitation, “We need to talk, little sister!”Melissa rolls her eyes but closes the door and goes into the living room.She is shocked to see her younger brother turning off the radio, “Hey, why did you turn off the radio?

At the Rocha penthouse, Dora arrives in time to see Melissa slap her younger brother.“Melissa! What the hell is going on here?”“Mother, did you correct my brother's crooked thoughts?” Melissa turns to her.Dora is also discouraged. Oh, damn, why did William decide to be so annoying?William massages his numb cheek, “Did you ladies agree to slap me?”“Will, don't you have to go to work?” Dora asks ironically.“I have, in the place I deserve.”“If you continue like this, Tiago will fire you!” Melissa asserts, “I want to see you try to get back into sports!”William feels extremely hurt, “I didn't need to appeal so low, sis.”“Will, just because Josias went from Head of Engineering to the president doesn't mean you have to go through the same promotion.” Melissa tries to explain with the patience of a teacher, “Tiago has been with the company since it started in 1981 and he knows all the details to run it.”“Okay, but the bastard who cheated on you with the luxury escort has appointed

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
Chapter 3209 Time to Look for Other Girls
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
Chapter 3205 At the Height of Despair
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.
