William is surprised to see Jock chatting comfortably on the storeroom phone. And Jock also notices the Head of Engineering's perplexity and decides to end the conversation.“I need to hang up and get back to work.”“You still haven't brought my daughter back,” Ephraim grumbles like a child on the other side.“It takes time. I'm working hard and she barely leaves the penthouse.”“Have your way, I'll wait.”“But Ephraim, you don't talk about your grandson—” The call goes silent on the other end. Ephraim definitely doesn't care about his grandson!William crosses his arms and stands on the threshold so Jock doesn't come out.“How funny! People have been saying that I forbade the workers to use the phone here, even for emergencies like my grandfather's death. Should I punish you, Jock?”Jock's eyes widen. He realizes that Dora reported the slander to her son!“Sir, I'm not aware of that order.”“You don't know because this order doesn't exist!” William snaps, “Of course, I don't want you
Building My Life Chapter 1370 Does He Want a Divorce?
In Teodoro's building, Diane is explaining to Cristina how the days were when she and Beto stayed together while her aunt and uncle were on their honeymoon. The lobby radio plays "Have I Told You Lately" by Rod Stewart. “Aunt Cris, how was your relationship with Roberto and Cousin Pam?” Cristina is surprised by the question, “They were married in 1985 and Rosemary was born in the same year, a few months earlier. In 1988 Pedro was born.” Diane is stunned, “Wow, so they've been married for years!” “Yes, and they weren't unhappy years.” Cristina lowers her head, “I'm ashamed to say that it was Pam's fault that the marriage fell apart. They could have been calm until today.” “Pam's current husband doesn't have something to do with this?” Cristina purses her lips, “Unfortunately, yes. I don't think I need to tell you the rest of the story.” “Well, now Roberto has got it into his head that he needs to have something with me.” Diane reveals, “He thinks I should correspond with him like

Everything can be done by arrangement. The TV station representative who came here was a very good person.”Bernardo holds out the draft and Jack takes it back, “Thank you very much, sir.”“I thank you for making my company earn money. There was a time when I thought about closing down here and firing everybody. First, we had the biography of Josias Rocha as our salvation, then the books by Isabel Freire, and now your books. We will be forever grateful.”Jack and Bernardo shake hands. Maggie enters next.“Honey, my entire team was thrilled with my pregnancy— hello, Mr. Motta.”“Hello, Mrs. M

I'm taking some friends for lunch. Do you already know Flávia Freire, Isabel's daughter-in-law?”“Yes, I know her as a customer.

Building My Life Chapter 1373 A Delicate News
Elza has no desire to discuss her marriage to William. Why is the boy interested in this?She helps herself to more butter cookies, “I'm sorry, young man. You and I are not intimate enough to discuss personal matters.”“Then you shouldn't talk to yourself like a madwoman.” William asserts.“I was stunned by my husband's outburst, but overall we are very happy.”William nods, “Yeah, you can tell you're happy. I should pay more attention to you guys to understand why Josias has become such a scoundrel and irresponsible.”Elza slams her cup on the table, “My son is the president of this company, how can he be irresponsible?”“He's quite a good brain for business.” William scoffs, “But when it comes to love...”“You know very well that it was two sluts who plotted against my son!” Elza yells.“And they did, huh? The two became pregnant and mothered two bastards.”“Don't offend my grandchildren, it's not their fault!”“You call bastards 'grandchildren'? It's explained. Josias is crooked be

Dora sits on the sofa next to her husband, scratching her head.“What the hell, my love! I was so used to going to expensive stores and swiping my credit card... Josias never let us down.”“Those times are gone, dear.” Simeon pats his wife's knee, “We're not rich anymore, we need to keep our feet on the ground.”“Then your question is answered.” Dora sighs, “Let's wear a dress a third time and hope the photographers don't post anything demeaning.”“The newspapers still have respect for us, dear, because of Josias.”Dora giggles wryly, “Really? Then we should warn the gossip columnists. I didn't find it pleasant to read about insinuations of Josias and Melissa loving each other again because of pictures taken at your father's wake.”“I don't need to tell you how upset William was.”“Argh, William...” Dora shakes her head as if she wants to wake up from a nightmare, “If he keeps this up, Josias will justifiably fire him.”“Then let's hope our son regains his sanity.

Maggie is confused about what Bernardo wants concerning Shirley getting involved in his grandson's life.She goes to the visitors' seat, “Honey, are you sure about this?”“You keep telling me that your mother will turn our son against you.” Bernardo asserts, “I will never allow it if she really tries.”“That's true. I don't want my mom telling my son he was fathered by another guy.”“See how dangerous this mental poison is for our baby? I want to live in peace and raise a healthy child.”“Bernie, you better talk to her.” Maggie asks in a cute tone, “If I was the bearer of the news, she would be able to kick my belly to force a miscarriage.”Bernardo nods slowly, “I get it, honey. Let me take care of the beast.”Maggie smiles. She stands up and changes the subject, “What about Jack's visit yesterday?”Bernardo also smiles, “He showed me the draft of the next book.”“Oh, I thought he was going to take advantage of being on LCN to be the heartthrob in the next soap opera.” Maggie jokes.

At the Ramos supermarket, Miguel visits Beto as he said it to Pamela.

This is the warehouse and my office, the place to shop is over there!”Miguel gives a slightly wry smile, “What fear is this?”“I'm not afraid of another male!” Beto yells.“But that's what it looks like. I came to talk to you, Mr. Reis.”“We have nothing else to talk about! You took my dear wife from me and the child I thought was mine was actually yours. Have you guys not humiliated me enough?”Miguel raises his eyebrows, “As I see it, you're still bitter about what happened between us in 1991. Is that why I should be on the alert?”Beto lowers his voice, “On alert, you? I'm not a threat. You're the one who's coming here.”“Rosemary can't stop talking about you and her brother,” Miguel growls.Beto realizes this irritates Miguel and smiles wryly, “Of course, I'm her

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.

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?

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

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
