At the Rocha Hotel construction site, amidst the noise of drills and cement mixers, Uélton, Simeon and Adolfo find a way to chat about Josias's return.“Obviously, we're going to have to throw a massive party to celebrate in style on his penthouse!” Uélton, as always, is the most excited of the group.“I don't know, Uélton.” Simeon is hesitant. He already knows about Josias Junior's existence and that Melissa wants a divorce.“Come on, brother-in-law, it will be nice.” Adolfo joins Uélton, “The whole of Espírito Santo celebrated watching the program, now it's our turn to celebrate as a family.”“Am I included as a family?” Uélton asks, making the others laugh.Obviously yes, since Uélton is married to Melissa's cousin.“I will see with my mother what the best day will be for her to help prepare the food and drinks.” Uélton continues.“Yes, your mother has now become a soap opera producer!” Simeon responds in a complimentary tone.“She doesn't sit in the production, she just has carte

We already lost him once, we can't lose him again.”Josias strides to leave, “Oh, hello, Uélton. I'm on my way out, do you need anything?”“I want to talk to you about the party we need to have in your penthouse,” Uélton speaks expansively.Carmen is interested and faces Josias.But Josias lowers his head, “Ehr... let's talk on the way to the police station.”Carmen understands that Josias is going to visit Adrian to peel him and sits down to do her chores.Uélton and Josias leave.******Haroldo visits LCN facilities with Reuben.

Building My Life Chapter 1261 Democratic Rule of Law
This Sunday is the day the citizens of Lagoon City will choose a new mayor.According to the electoral law, Tobias Ibrahim could not run as a candidate because his father has already served as mayor for two terms. After all, we are in a democracy, not a monarchy.However, that would not mean that Tobias would stay out of public life. In the polling area where voting is taking place, he is explaining to Josias his plans for the future.“You won't see me around here, Josias. Glad I had time to say goodbye to a great friend.”“Where are you going?” Josias asks curiously.“I am traveling to the United States.” Tobias proudly replies, “Is there a better place to learn about the Rule of Law than Uncle Sam's land?”“Hum, interesting. When you come back, you will have cultural baggage and preparation to win in the first round.” Josias so desires.“I wish, Josias...” Tobias laughs, “By the way, I watched Lisandro's show. You did very well.”“Thanks. Everything went well, except for my marriage

Unaware that Uélton is attacking the strawberry pie, Melissa talks to Simeon and Dora in the master suite.“Mom, Dad... it's with immense regret that I've decided to cancel plans to get back together with Josias.”Simeon punches the mattress on her bed, “Daughter, no!”Dora is distressed, “Dear daughter, and your status as Madam Rocha, how gets it?”Melissa wiggles in displeasure, “Don't even remind me of that, Mom. I was willing to forgive Josias for getting Angela pregnant. But now he has one more child fathered by another slut. Is this how my life will be? Every time Josias is away from me, is he going to impregnate another random woman?”Simeon tries to defend his son-in-law, “Daughter, what happened to Josias were extreme situations. It will not become a habit.”“Is it not, father? I don't want to pay to see it. Now it's two out-of-wedlock children who will give us trouble and headaches when they become adults. And what's worse: they are two boys. They will grow up to be jealous
Building My Life Chapter 1263 The First Look
In the Rocha penthouse, Melissa continues to reason with her parents about her and Josias's divorce.“Mom, Dad, I hope you accept my decision,” she begs.Simeon makes a face as he sucked on a lemon, “I don't know... what will become of you when the divorce is finalized?”“Well, we're literally going to carry on as if Josias is dead.” Melissa gets up and goes to the dressing table, “I will continue to live in the penthouse with my children, Ernesto and Lilian will remain here, Elza and João Paulo will continue with the R$250,000.00 they inherited... nothing has changed.”“And Will is gonna worsen his behavior at the company and home.” Dora rolls her eyes.“Will was already nasty when Josias wasn't here.” Melissa asserts, “He will be put in his place in the company, once Josias has reasserted the throne.”Simeon gets up from the bed, “So there's no way? How are we going to explain it to the public, your fans?”Melissa is already uncomfortable with the conversation, “We didn't have time
Building My Life Chapter 1264 Life Experience
Simeon and Dora return home, devastated by Melissa's confirmation of divorce.When they enter, they find William watching TV, the music video for “Everything About You” by Ugly Kid Joe.“Hello, guys!” William tries to be kind, “How was visiting my dear sister?”“You still ask?” Simeon collapses in the armchair, “Your sister is going to divorce anyway.”William laughs heartily.Dora crosses her arms and takes a good look at her son: lying on the couch, shirtless, with grubby shorts, several cans of beer on the coffee table, and crumbs of potato chips.“Will, have you been overdoing the cans?” Dora gives her son a light slap to straighten himself up on the couch, “You're the one who's going to sweep up these crumbs.”“I celebrated in advance.” William sits up, “It's good to know that Melissa has come to her senses. When will she come back here?”Simeon and Dora got appalled.“What question is that? Melissa can't come back here!” Simeon thunders.“Oh, I need to move first, right? Okay, t

Reuben dances in a funny way."Well, here’s the list of those we don’t want to invite."

Uélton looks at his son, "What are you doing, champ?""I’m dancing, Dad!" Reuben swings like a worm."Darling, I want to tell you a sacred secret." Uélton approaches and whispers in his wife’s ear, "Melissa and Josias will continue the divorce."Flavia walks away, "But Melissa had forgiven him before the accident!""It’s because Josias told me that he impregnated the farmer’s daughter who kept him in false imprisonment," Uélton speaks with regret.Flavia makes a 'tsk' with her tongue, "Jeez... but there is no way to defend Josias!

Melissa dropped by the Cardozo Perfumes office.She found Sarah working with a bright smile. “Good morning, Sarah. So, enjoying being back in Lagoon City?”“Oh, I couldn’t be happier, Mrs. Rocha!” Sarah replied excitedly. “Everyone here knows you, and they’re so friendly!”“Yeah, but be careful; not everyone is like that,” Melissa began to worry.“My parents warned me, especially about David Souza.” Sarah became alert. “He... there was news on the Internet that he’s in jail...”Melissa smiled mockingly. “Sad ending for someone who insists on being a pain in the neck, don’t you agree?”“Oh, yes, I agree...” Sarah quickly nodded. Something inside her told her to agree if she didn’t want to get into trouble.Kelvin approached them. “Good morning, madames!”“Kelvin, I need to talk to you.” Melissa turned to him.“Let’s go to my office. Sarah, hold the calls or forward them to my wife.”“Yes, Mr. Mountain.”Kelvin and Melissa went to his office.Inside, Melissa asked, “Is Sarah doing well?
Chapter 3214 Something from the Past to Use in the Future
Daryl met with Sofia, Suzy, and William in Sofia’s office. Sofia was still smiling and occasionally shot ironic glances at Suzy.“Guys, João Paulo wants to interview Vaztrans, just as I predicted,” Daryl announced. “As we can see, this company’s good performance has not gone unnoticed by the general public.”“Oh, damn...” Suzy muttered under her breath.“Why are you complaining, Suzy?” Sofia asked provocatively.“We have a bad history with that guy,” Suzy said louder. “Can’t we ask another journalist to come here?”“Knowing João Paulo, he’ll come,” William replied, also a bit apprehensive. “Which one of us is going to answer his questions?”Daryl shrugged. “Looks like I’m the only one who’s not on bad terms with him, right?”“Be careful, Daryl. João Paulo is more treacherous than his late father,” Sofia grumbled.Suzy decided to counterattack, “This is all because of the ‘Spanish Stallion’? Get over it, dear. Don’t go catatonic like your mother.”Sofia shot Suzy a furious look and did
Chapter 3213 Time to Think About the Future
Sofia and Suzy started arguing in the middle of the employees in the Vaztrans garage. “Suzy, don’t be stingy!” Sofia exclaimed. “After many years, our company finally had some financial breathing room. I want to celebrate this achievement by doing something nice for our hardworking employees.” “That’s right, Mrs. Campos Rocha!” The employees cheered. Suzy smiled maliciously. “I see your little game.” “What do you think I’m doing?” Sofia crossed her arms. “You’re staging a publicity stunt or trying to win the hearts of the employees. Well, that’s not going to happen!” “You...” Sofia held back the urge to slap Suzy but decided to take the high road. She turned to the drivers and conductors and shrugged. “I tried.” Sofia made a strategic retreat, leaving Suzy alone in front of disappointed employees. “Hey, wait...!” Suzy felt she was about to be lynched and ran out of the garage. The employees booed and cursed her without mercy. ****** At João Paulo’s house, he was sitting in
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
