Maggie returns to Marçal Publishing and meets with her husband, always attentive to news and difficulties to solve.“Yes, Melissa Rocha allowed a new release of Josias's biography: a limited edition with some updates provided by her. 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

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?

Building My Life Chapter 1230 Father and Son Are Tied

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
Building My Life Chapter 1231 Does History Repeat Itself
In the Rocha penthouse, the tense and embarrassing situation continues. Alan approaches the others in the living room, stomping and scowling. “Uncle Will, how dare you to speak ill of my late father?” Melissa widens her eyes. Is the son speaking in the same firm tone as the father? William, however, just smiles petulantly, “Who are you to talk to me like that, brat?” “I am Alan Rocha, the heir of everything, so said my mother.” Alan boldly responds, “I still don't know what that means, but I don't like you cursing me, least of all my dad!” Dora approaches and takes Alan by the arm, “OK my grandson, don't get involved in the conversation, please.” “Ground him, Granny!” Alan demands of her. The two withdraw. Melissa smiles proudly for her son. “See why I wanted you single?” William doesn't turn the record, “Now you're alone and you're going to have to put up with two annoying kids.” “I ‘put up with’ both of them with the greatest pleasure.” Melissa counters, “The best thing I've
Building My Life Chapter 1232 A New Soap Opera
Melissa, Tiago, Igor, William, and Octavio are in the meeting room to discuss an important subject: the hotel. “Gentlemen, we need to talk about Rocha Hotel.” Melissa begins, “We need to move forward with my late husband's project.” “Bullshit...” William grumbles, frowning. “Melissa, do you think this is a good idea?” Tiago asks cautiously. Melissa hands them copies of the newspaper Carmen had taken for her, “See the news for yourselves. Josias told me that the construction of the hotel was in support of the expansion of the Lagoon City Journal which will soon become the Lagoon City Network. The construction of the studio where the news will be broadcast is at full speed. Later this year they will likely inaugurate the TV station.” “Yes, and Mayor Ibrahim commented that our city doesn't have a hotel that can accommodate people of this level.” Igor helps with the argument. Tiago smiles, “What do you say to us, Octavio?” “The floor plans are moldy in my living room drawers.” He re

More days passed. In the countryside, Maria Aparecida is reading a letter written by Frederick. She smiles, missing her only child. Nathanael enters the hut with an armadillo for his wife to cook, “Woman, have you finished reading the boy's letter? I need you to cook this armadillo the way you do so well.” Maria Aparecida sighs and gets up, “Have you read your son's letter, man?” Nathanael doesn't seem to miss his son, “No, I'll read later.” Maria Aparecida wiggles and takes the wildlife, “Let me take care of it.” Suddenly, somebody clapped outside. Nathanael opens the door and finds Ephraim. “Mr. Bezerra, what an honor to have you here!” Ephraim does not wait to be invited and enters. Maria Aparecida is intimidated by the aura of the most prosperous farmer in the region. “Would you like some coffee?” She offers. Ephraim makes an almost imperceptible move of lips indicating disgust. He only drinks the coffee made in his house, with the best-chosen beans. “I came to know if y
Building My Life Chapter 1234 Family Approval
At Harold's house, Isabel was in the armchair while the family was on the sofa: Harold, Flavia, and Reuben. Uélton was on his feet. “OK, Freire family together.” Isabel begins the family reunion, “As you may know, I received a proposal from LCN, Lagoon City Network, to turn my first book ‘Love Just Happens’ into a prime-time soap opera. What do you think?” “I have already commented my favorable opinion,” Harold responds smiling. Flavia and Uélton still didn't know. “Mom, this is amazing!” Uélton says excitedly, “You're going to receive royalties for the authorization, aren't you?” “Of course I do, after all, they don’t own the work.” Isabel calmly responds, “I need to communicate this with Mr. Marçal, but I want to hear the family's opinion.” “I will be one of the loyal viewers!” Flavia opines, looking forward to watching the first episode. “What is prime-time soap opera, grandma?” Reuben asks. The adults laugh. “It certainly has nothing to do with our fishing program, my gran

Inside the apartment, Josias doesn't know if he's happy or upset that João Paulo discovered the secret.The radio is playing “Why” by Annie Lennox.“Hearing this?” Josias jokes, “That's the question I have for you, little brother: why are you here?”“I wanted to see you, big bro!” João Paulo is astonished, “Don't scold me for this. You don't know how much I've missed you!”Josias nods with a slight smile, “I know. Unfortunately, I didn't plan for that.”Ernesto joins in the conversation, “That's what we're talking about, João Paulo. Josias was apparently rescued by a farmer and was without communication with the real world for weeks. Josias healed his wounds at the Bezerra farm. But, he found out that Mr. Bezerra was planning to keep him stranded on the farm forever.”João Paulo is more shocked, “How crazy! This is kidnapping!”Josias and Ernesto sit on the sofa.“Yes, that's why I ran away from there.” Josias explains, “I hid in another place and became fond of the family there. When

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.
