The bell rings at this time.Katherine asks before she opens the door, “Who is it?”“It's Melissa, Katherine!”Katherine walks away wanting not to answer, but decides to go back to the door and open it, “You still have the key, correct?”Melissa stranges, “What's the matter, were you going to leave me outside?”“Let's go to the living room. I don't want you to tell my husband that I was a bad hostess.” Katherine speaks sourly.“But you just told me you wanted to leave me outside!” Melissa doesn't miss any details.Upon reaching the living room, Katherine turns off the radio, “What do you want?”Melissa is still standing, “I've already talked to Angela and Josias: our children will have a normal coexistence as half-siblings.”Katherine smiles haughtily, “Of course, as long as the boundaries are respected.”“What boundaries?”“May the other children recognize tha
Building My Life Chapter 1425 Evil Shall Not Triumph
A few days later, Pamela is having breakfast in the dining room. Lilian brings a tray of sweet potato bread and finds her mistress tired and with dark circles under her eyes.“Good morning, lady! I see you down and depressed. Can I get some pills?”“I'm already on the pill.” Pamela says through gritted teeth, “I think I'll take two at once. Miguel is too manly to be stopped by just one.”Lilian immediately understands the reason for her mistress's stern, “Mrs. Damascene, can't you ask your husband to be calmer and slower when it comes to intimacy?”Pamela giggles, “It's like asking a monkey not to eat bananas. At bedtime, it only cares about what Miguel wants. I still haven’t gotten used to that kind of marriage.”Lilian purses her lips and doesn't agree. She and Ernesto are as affectionate and careful as possible in intimacy, each one more concerned with giving pleasure to the other.Behold, Miguel enters the dining room. He is indeed beaming, satisfied, and satiated, hardly caring t
Building My Life Chapter 1426 Celebrating Ahead of Time
Pamela is beaming and bouncing in Teodoro's building, celebrating in advance what might happen at the conciliatory hearing. Cristina, Diane, and Moacyr don't know what to say to her.“And the radio, is it turned off today?” Pamela asks.Diane turns on the radio and Bruce Springsteen's song “Streets of Philadelphia” echoes through the lobby.“Isn’t that song from that movie where there’s a legal dispute?” Pamela asks good-naturedly, “Look at the coincidence!”Diane explains to her, “The main character sues the company that fired him after he found out he had AIDS. It's a strong film, but an excellent one to watch.”“And so shall I be: victorious with the judgment and having Caio close to his half-siblings.” Pamela laughs.Cristina doesn't know where to start, “Ehr... daughter, do you think William didn't look for any weak spots to attack you?”Pamela has a jolt, “Weak spot, me? No way, Mom, I have nothing to hide.”Christina takes a deep breath. Moacyr is suspicious.“Looks like they'r
Building My Life Chapter 1427 Don't Tell My Husband
Josias doesn't know how to react to the conversation with Miguel about Pamela's attempt to obtain full custody of Caio. He doesn’t like either Pamela or William...“Mr. Damascene, I can only wish you good luck. As far as I know, William has been a neglectful father and I feel bad for Caio. You know, I raised him since he was a newborn, I watched him babble his first words, I taught him to walk...”Miguel smiles mockingly, “In short: you were the father who raised Caio, while Will Campos was just the progenitor. I am aware that he has had a soccer career, but even with Pamela making mistakes in the past, there was no need for you to take that responsibility.”“Raising Caio enabled me to raise my children better.” Josias smiles.“You can rest assured that Pamela didn't hide her version from me.” Miguel states, “I know about the deal you made in 1982, I know about the confusion that occurred between her and Vera Reis, I know that she tried to marry a guy named Wallace Freire who is now i
Building My Life Chapter 1428 Knocked Out
Pamela is horrified when she hears the truth about Rosemary being Jeremiah's daughter after so many years. It was as if the truth could have been hidden and forgotten.But no: behold, the Truth arises again!William smiles victoriously at the impact his words had on his ex-lover.“By your astonished face, I'm telling the truth.”Pamela tries to buy time with lies, “Who told you this nonsense?”William is outraged, “What? Are you still going to deny it?”“WHO TOLD YOU?” Pamela screams at the top of her lungs.“That doesn't matter! What matters is that I know, and you just confirmed me with your reaction! How could you be so promiscuous and slutty, Pamela? And you still question why I took Caio from you in 1982?”“That was a plot I should never have been a part of!” Pamela yells in a shaky voice, “I was young and inexperienced...”“You were afraid of Wallace finding out the truth about Caio, that he was not Josias's son!” William reminds her, “That's why you took that deal. You were and

What happened?”“Your son went to mistreat my daughter and she defended herself by hitting him on the head with the phone. William passed out and went to the hospital!”Dora feels her heart race, “What? Cristina, this story is badly told!”“I still don't know all the details, I'm just calling everyone I know! It was Lilian, Ernesto's wife, who warned me.”“But why did William go to bother Pamela? He was working at Ramos Supermarket!” Dora is desperate.The mention of William makes Caio stop reading the comics.“I'm going to Europe Garden. We need to know exactly what happened, we cannot suffer

At Crystal Blue, Daryl approaches Kelvin. The noon service is already ending.“Daryl, where have you been? Have you had lunch yet?” Kelvin asks worriedly.“I was in Teodoro's building.” Kelvin starts to smile, but Daryl cuts him off, “No, bro, nothing funny happened. They called there saying that Will Campos is in a coma in the hospital.”Kelvin is surprised, “What happened?”“From the information I got, Will had an affair with Pamela over that problem.”“Oh, damn, Melissa must need me!” Kelvin grieves.“She must not even know about it. Nobody knows how to contact her at LCN. Come on, little brother, I'll cover your post here.”“Service is already over.” Kelvin quickly strips off the tuxedo.Benjamin walks by and notices the brothers’ stress, “What's up, guys?”“Your cousin William is in the hospital, Ben.” Daryl responds, “Blow to the head by Pamela in self-defense.”“LIE!” Ben drops a platter, “Mr. Mountain, never, EVER believe a word that comes out of that whore’s mouth, do you hea

Jack returns home after shooting the commercial at the marketing agency. Ronaldo is on the couch watching TV, enjoying his retirement.“So, son, how was it? Are you still sane?”Jack smiles weakly, “Nothing wrong happened, Dad.”“How was the commercial?”Jack hesitated for a few seconds as to whether or not he responded, “Remember, Dad, I only performed a dummy job. Don't take the commercial too seriously, it's to promote the company your eldest son works for.”Ronaldo smiles warmly, “Then I will love and comment with my friends at the Seniors Club.”Jack has a Herculean effort to smile, “I think I'm going to take a shower and then leave.”“Go there.” The commercial ends and Ronaldo has his attention on TV.******Vernon visits the Rocha Hotel and finds Elza talking to the main kitchen chef.“Remember, you have the authority and duty to demand that your subordinates do their best for our hotel guests.

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?

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

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
