Building My Life Chapter 1285 Pilot Day
Ephraim is surprised to return from the coffee plantation and find an unknown car parked near his front door.Upon entering, he finds Ernesto standing in the hall, waiting with a wry smile.“Who the hell are you?” Ephraim asks intrigued.“Everyone has a strange way of welcoming me.” Ernesto quips, “I am Josias Rocha’s secretary and I came to take your daughter and grandson.”“Have you come to take her?” Ephraim widens his eyes.“She was selected to live with my boss in the Rocha penthouse.”Ephraim is outraged, “Has she been ‘selected,’ just as I select my cows for breeding?”Ernesto didn't mean it, but the comparison was perfect.“My daughter has a dignity of her own and will not accept this slight.”After Ephraim says that, Katherine appears with two huge suitcases and Adelina appears with Josias Junior in her arms and his things.“What do you think you're doing?” Ephraim is apoplectic, “Are you really going to go along with this business of being the businessman's concubine?”“Yes,
Building My Life Chapter 1286 Everybody Checks Out the Novelty
Jock enters Ephraim’s studio, still touchy about the situation: he was the beloved son-in-law and the successor in control of the Bezerra farm, but suddenly, he is forced to divorce Katherine and return to his previous stage as foreman!“Did you call me, sir?”“Of course, Jock. I want to know if I can count on my loyal foreman.”Jock hardens his gaze and doesn't speak the swear words that are on the tip of his tongue.Ephraim smiles wryly, “I see so. Here’s the thing, you’re going to be promoted from foreman to spy.”Jock can't take it anymore, “Is this a joke, sir?”“Of course not. I want you to go live in Lagoon City and tell me everything that my shameless daughter is doing.”Jock sneers, “Surely she'll be spending Mr. Rocha’s money and being banged by him every single night. Do you want me to record her moans on cassette for you to hear?”Ephraim is not amused by Jock's sarcasm, “Not quite. But if you are going to record such tapes, let it be along with your male growls, and let m

In Cristina's apartment, it is no surprise that she watched the premiere of 'A Rose in the Desert', presented by LCN.Diane and Moacyr watched with her. Cristina crouches down and pulls out a VHS tape she used to record the episode.“Ready! The first episode of ‘A Rose in the Desert’ was recorded for posterity.”“It would be nice if you kept an archive, dear.”“I don't know if I'll have the space here for that.” Cristina gets up and puts the tape on the shelf, “If this soap opera has more than one season, it will be around 500 episodes.”“The book doesn't have as much material for all that, so I think it's only going to be a year,” Diane responds.“Still, it will be about 250 episodes. Lots to record.” Cristina responds excitedly, “Anyway, I loved it! Now let's wait until 09:00 pm to check out Isabel's soap opera.”“I am very happy for her.” Moacyr nods, smiling.“Meanwhile, I'll prepare dinner.” Cristina heads for the kitchen.“And I'll tidy up the canteen.” Diane offers herself.How

Are you a boardinghouse employee?”“Yes and no.” Diane laughs, “I'm Diane Barbosa.”Beto nods, “Any kinship with Moacyr Barbosa?”“Yes, I am the cousin of the madman who tried to kill his own father.” Diane takes the test to see if Beto is prejudiced.Beto passed the test, “No, I don't want to do any pre-judging. You seem like a decent girl to me.”Diane smiles, “Thanks. I came to help uncle Moacyr and aunt Cris. We take turns: sometimes I take care of my uncle, sometimes I take care of here.”“Thank you, Diane. I am Roberto Reis, son of the late owner of this place.”Diane's eyes widen, “Oh... so I should treat you with more respect! First of all, I'm sorry for the loss, Mr. Reis.”Beto smiles in camaraderie,

Angela and Gustavo are talking in the living room of their apartment. The radio is playing “How do you do?” by Roxette, but they don't seem happy.“We are bad.” Angela grumbles, “What face are we going to ask for David’s next child support?”Gustavo noticed that Angela has been using part of the money to buy new clothes. She is wearing a blouse whose print imitates leopard spots and her jeans are still well dyed. In her ears were huge mother-of-pearl earrings.“Now that Josias Rocha is alive, he is the one we should ask.” Gustavo reasons with her.“Let's see if he accepts,” Angela grumbles.Gustavo picks up the newspaper and narrows his eyes as he reads a news item.“What's it?” Angela notices him.Gustavo holds out the newspaper to her and Angela takes it. As she reads it, her jaw drops.The headline read: “Josias Rocha caught with new girlfriend entering Rocha penthouse building!”******In the Rocha penthouse, João Paulo was complaining to Josias about this.“She took a long time t

Building My Life Chapter 1291 Proposal to Pamela
Daryl is concerned about the way Diane mentions Beto. It stands to reason that a girl like Diane would be impressed by the seductive appearance of Seu Teodoro's son.“Did you like him?” Daryl asks as he checks the bottles at the bar.“It was a pleasure to meet him, but I didn't fall for him,” Diane responds already understanding where he was going.“OK, not that it's any of my business.” Daryl tries to hide his nervousness. Thirty years and he still doesn't know how to behave around a beautiful woman like Diane.“He's a good-looking guy with a good physique.” Diane assures him, “but my interest is in someone else.”Daryl finishes checking the vodka bottles and turns to her, smiling in relief.Meanwhile, Melissa comes in wearing a brown pantsuit, feeling light and happy. Kelvin welcomes her.“Miss Campos, good morning. Did you reserve a table?”“Yes, I booked it for my ex-mother-in-law and me.” Melissa doesn't look sorry.“I'm sorry for what happened.” Kelvin tries to be kind, “I'm gla
Building My Life Chapter 1292 Chicken Fight
At the Rocha Hotel construction site, Uélton happily reports to Simeon and Adolfo the party that took place at LCN.“Everyone is very satisfied with the results of the programs. It just goes to show how pro my mother has become at storytelling.”“Dora and Melissa watched both premieres,” Simeon responds smiling.“Vânia could only follow Isabel’s soap opera.” Adolfo replies, “At five in the afternoon she is still in the office.”“Well, let's build this hotel to generate more money for Josias to sponsor the programs!” Uélton takes his toolbox and happily leaves.As he passes the battery-operated radio, he turns it on and the song “Work to Do” by Vanessa Williams echoes through the construction site.******In the Rocha penthouse, Josias leaves his office when he hears Katherine and Angela cackling like chickens fighting for the rooster.“Take it back, you disrespectful one!” Angela demands it.“I won’t take back what I said!” Katherine boldly counters, “You were the homewrecker.

Chapter 3148 Josias Is Insane
Josias visits the Rocha Hotel since he didn’t have a day off for the staff. In the management room, Eugenio gathered David, Benjamin, and Sybil. “Why is that mere cook present at this meeting?” David asked disparagingly. “Because that’s how our boss ordered it,” Eugenio replied dryly. “I didn’t say anything and didn’t call this meeting, so if you’ll excuse me...” Benjamin and Sybil were horrified to see David leaving the meeting just like that. However, when he opened the door, David came face to face with his father. “David, where do you think you’re going?” “DAD!” David exclaimed, extremely surprised. “I didn’t know you were coming!” “Didn’t Eugenio tell you I was coming?” Josias asked with a scowl. David understood who the ‘boss’ was. Benjamin and Sybil felt vindicated. Josias sat down at the desk, taking Eugenio’s seat, while the manager remained humbly standing. “Very well,” Josias began the meeting in a formal tone, “I’m here just to make things crystal clear.

Melissa and Mary visit the Mountain Café.“A guava juice for me, Mr. Mountain!” Mary requested, smiling sweetly.“Of course, my princess!” Rodrigo replied, thinking Mary was very adorable. “Neil will make a delicious cup for you.”“Thank you. But the princess is Carol,” Mary responded, striking a serious pose.Melissa and Rodrigo laughed heartily. Mary is something else...“Rod, how has it been managing the café in your father’s absence?” Melissa asked seriously.Rodrigo served a baked chicken pastry with ketchup to Mary. “I'm getting by, Melissa. Josias was here earlier, more concerned about my loss than his own, as always. Isn’t he supposed to be resting?”Melissa nodded. “My husband is like that: he only relaxes when all of us are relaxed.”“An impossible mission because of certain people.”Neilton approached with the glass. “Who ordered a guava juice?”“I DID!” Mary grabbed the glass and went to a table.Melissa leaned forward, “Neil, Rod, how are Daryl and Diane? Behaving?”“Cont

Chapter 3146 We Need to Talk - Dad
At João Paulo’s house, he and Josias were about to have a significant conversation.“Walter, do you want to go with your mom to the kitchen?” João Paulo asked, looking at Helen. “I think she made some walnut cake.”“It was carrot cake,” Sandra replied, already getting up from the couch.“You got it.” Helen appeared and picked up Walter in her arms. “Let’s let Dad and Uncle Josias talk.”“Bye, Uncle!” Walter waved goodbye to Josias.“Bye-bye, I want a piece later!” Josias chuckled.Once alone with João Paulo, Josias became serious. “Don’t let anything or anyone ruin this family scenario, little brother.”“I’m fine. No one wants to ruin anything,” João Paulo replied casually.“Well, I hope David hasn’t caused you any trouble.”“He probably doesn’t even know I exist, man.” João Paulo shrugged.“But I stopped by Café Montanha and found out that the Vasquez family has replaced the Mountain family as the ‘annoying people.’”João Paulo sighed in disappointment. “Yeah.

Chapter 3145 João Paulo Is a Good Father
Josias visits Café Montanha for a coffee and finds Rodrigo there. “Rod, how have you been?” Rodrigo is taken aback. “How am I? You’re the one who suffered a horrific loss recently!” “But you also lost your father. We’re in the same situation,” Josias explained as he sat down on a stool. “I’m okay, Josias. Life has a way of cheering me up. For example, I’m back at the diner after Thierry decided to take his place at the supermarket.” Rodrigo smiled. “What about the photography studio?” Josias smiled back. “It’s still going to operate, and Thierry will make periodic visits. But he’s going to appoint one of the staff to manage the studio.” Rodrigo served a pizza pastry to Josias. “Thank you. Well, I hope everything is alright between you two. I need to visit Rosemary and meet Jean Luc — is that the name of the baby?” “Yes, the name of the supermarket heir. Meanwhile, Frank will be here or somewhere else.” Josias interjected, “If Frank wants to work at Rocha Constructions, count

At the Rocha Mansion, Josias receives a visit from Benjamin. “How have you been, Ben? Any news about your parents?” The two embrace. “Actually, that’s what I want to talk about.” Benjamin scratches the back of his neck. The embrace breaks. “Let’s go to my office.” The two gentlemen enter Josias’s imposing office. “Any problems with Adolfo?” Josias asks, becoming serious. “Not yet, but I hope not to have any,” Benjamin replies with some sadness. “You know, Josias, what happened with your father made me think about my family, about how important it is for all of us to be together in the final moments.” “That’s true. João Paulo can tell you that better than I can.” “I think you can say it too. Vernon was the father you never had.” Benjamin clears his throat. “So, I’ve been looking into some hotels and realized there’s a demand at the Rocha Hotel in Victoria.” Josias looks at Benjamin, understanding where he’s going with this. “You want to go to Victoria to be close to your pare

Someone rings the doorbell at João Paulo’s house. The homeowner goes to answer after taking a shower and putting on clean clothes. But when he opened the door, João Paulo felt like slamming it in the visitor’s face. “Don’t be rude!” Erasmo exclaimed. “What do you want, you old bore?” João Paulo shot back. Erasmo barged into João Paulo’s foyer. “The mourning is over. Let’s pick up where we left off.” “Are you crazy? Who decides how long mourning lasts? We just got back from the trip!” “Not exactly, it’s been a day. Life goes on, my friend!” Erasmo replied mockingly. João Paulo remained serious. “But I don’t want to continue living this way, where fights and intrigues are the order of the day. Mr. Vasquez, you have a business to run, and I have a family to raise.” “But you found time to slap my son-in-law when he was here defending his family, didn’t you?” “Alan was extremely rude, but that was some time ago.” João Paulo frowned. “I don’t feel the same anger as before.” “So a

Chapter 3142 Let’s Launch Another Biography
At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan could hardly believe that the people were thinking about more intrigues and disputes. “Guys, don’t you understand that I even forgot the reason I slapped Uncle João Paulo?” “Ridiculous!” Erasmo gestured. “You just maintained respect because it was a difficult occasion. But now, the mourning is OVER!” “Do you think João Paulo will rest, dear?” Sofia asked, sitting next to him. Alan shook his head. “If Uncle João Paulo doesn’t want to rest, then he is truly despicable. But my dad is back in town. He wouldn’t dare to do that.” The news should have been uplifting, but the members of the Vasquez family merely exchanged silent glances. With Josias present, it’s quite likely that he will put a stop to their fighting. Alan turned to Olivia. “In the meantime, we should celebrate the recovery of my dear mother-in-law!” Olivia and Sofia smiled awkwardly because of the secret they were keeping. “That’s right, let’s celebrate life!” Erasmo wrapped his arm arou

Josias Rocha and his family returned to Lagoon City. Those who were waiting for them stayed in the mansion and greeted them cheerfully in the foyer. “WELCOME BACK!” Melissa, crying, embraced her parents, William, and the twins fervently. Josias greeted them with a light smile. “Where’s João Paulo?” William asked. “He went straight to his house. His kids needed to rest from the trip.” Melissa wiped her tears with her fingers. “Alan went straight to his mansion. Especially now that his mother-in-law has woken up from the coma.” “That was a scare; I thought we’d have two funerals,” Simeon commented. Everyone headed to the living room. “Is Paris very beautiful, Mom?” Mary asked. “Yes, sweetheart, it’s stunning. We’ll go shopping together another time, okay?” “Do you have pictures?” Ignacio asked anxiously. “Yes, son, we took some pictures.” Melissa sat on the couch, pulling out a package from her bag. Josias sat in the armchair, taking a deep breath. William approached him.

At Café Montanha, Daryl walks in for a coffee and finds Rodrigo at the counter while Neilton serves the others. “Hey, are we back to the old tradition?” “Don’t be a clown, man.” Rodrigo laughs. “Yes, Thierry is at the supermarket, as we agreed.” “Hi, Neil. Can you make me a cappuccino while I enjoy a natural sandwich?” Daryl places his order. “Sure thing, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton heads to the back. Daryl sits on the stool. “So, how do you feel after getting back to your element?” “I don’t regret at all helping my dear wife at the supermarket, Daryl,” Rodrigo admitted while preparing the natural sandwich. “I’m not talking about regrets.” Daryl joked. “But it’s undeniable that after Uncle Francisco’s passing, you prefer to stay here, carrying on the legacy he left.” “Just like Crystal Blue.” Rodrigo smiled. “Hey, I’m aware that you’re looking to open another restaurant in Sunset Village. Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
