Building My Life Chapter 1332 From Fame to Ostracism
At Simeon's house, Melissa gets up and turns off the radio playing “Easy” by Faith No More. She stares at William who is still scared.“What is it, Will? Isn't it true that you are bringing girls to your house without caring about your son listening to everything?”“Gossip spread with the wind, huh?” He sits on the couch.“It’s a troubling family matter. Will, you must protect your son's innocence.”“Our mother has already threatened me! She didn't even want to eat Shirley's butter cookies. They were a delight.”Melissa picks up the remote, “Will, get down to business! You know very well that Josias can take full custody of Caio for him.”William explodes, “And why the hell would Josias want to be with Caio? Isn't it enough with the two bastards he has to take care of?”Melissa takes a deep breath to control her anger, “He only wants the best for his nephew.”“He doesn't have to worry anymore. Now that he's no longer your husband, thank God for that, he won't meddle in the Campos fami

Pamela is crying bitterly, sitting up in bed, hands covering her face.Miguel tries to comfort her, “I don't want you to be devastated like this, my love.”Pamela complains, sobbing, “How do you want me to be, my love? You saw how the audience reacted!”Miguel responds affectionately, “Actually, I didn't see it. I was very busy in the office, and my mother only saw the silence of the audience.”“Would be good if they have continued in silence! As soon as they said 'cut', everyone started booing and dissing me, saying that I will never surpass Melissa! What an outrage! How did she manage to win again?”Pamela trembles as she cries. Miguel sits beside her on the bed and caresses his wife's hair.******At Simeon's house, the Campos family has breakfast, commenting on what happened yesterday.“Would it be very cruel of me to say that it was very well done for Pamela?” Si

He is very concerned about your safety, dear.”Diane lifts her head, “I don't know why you're so worried.”“He doesn't want you to be alone here while Moacyr and I travel on our honeymoon.”“And what does he propose, that I go with you?” Diane narrows her eyes.“No... he proposed to come back to live here to tutor you.”Diane's eyes widen. Is Beto going crazy?******At the Damascene house, the doorbell rings desperately. Miguel, already dressed in a shirt and dress pants, goes to the hall and attends to a worried Maggie.“Where is she?

Building My Life Chapter 1335 Caught By Hypocrisy
With the radio now playing Madonna's song “Bad Girl”, this is exactly how Diane feels when Cristina informs her that Beto wants to advise her in his late father's building.“Aunt Cristina, don’t add fuel to the fire.” Diane begs her, “I'm suspicious of this gentleman's good intentions.”“Are you still going to stick to the formality, my dear?” Cristina gets impatient.“But he must be older than me, about ten years!” Diane states, “He really has to be called 'sir'.”“If I'm not mistaken, he must be forty years old.” Cristina calculates using her fingers, “Still, he finds himself quite robust to bear grandchildren for me.”“Grandchildren and nephews, huh?” Diane nudges her, “No Auntie, I'll stick with Daryl Mountain.”“So we have a formal relationship?”Diane is paralyzed. Why does Cristina ask questions she can't answer?“We're still treating each other like friends.” She answers, despondent.Cristina makes 'pfff' with her lips, “Diane Barbosa, organize your life, my dear.

Maggie returns to Marçal Publishing. Still in the hallway, she comes across a dissatisfied Bernardo with his arms crossed after what she did.“Good afternoon, dear! How was lunch at Crystal Blue?”“You would know if you were with me,” Bernardo responds in a hurt way.“Oh dear, do you know what happened? I ended up having lunch at the Damascene house.”“Damascene House? What the hell is that name, some hotel?”Maggie laughs and approaches her husband, “That's where my new best friend Pamela lives.”Bernardo expected Maggie to say 'Pamela Damascene' but is surprised by his wife just called the other woman by her first name with intimacy.“Pamela? Are you seriously going to be friends with her?”Maggie snorts, “I thought we wouldn't care what Josias Rocha's gang thinks anymore.”“It's not like that! I am basing myself on the article you wrote.”“Oh dear, so what matters who was the first man who dragged Pamela to bed? That is already in the past.”“A past that we profited a lot from. Sal

This I won’t allow, ever! Just because Melissa no longer has the last name Rocha doesn't mean she will be crossed off the list of privileged ones.”“But, Mr. Rocha, the last name Mountain has no prestige...”“Bull! Don't you own this top-of-the-line restaurant? Isn't your sister the chief editor of Maggiezine, the most famous magazine in Espírito Santo?

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. They—”The doorbell ran

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

Chapter 3144 Benjamin Requests a Transfer
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

Chapter 3143 Return
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
