Building My Life Chapter 1446 Katherine Strikes Again
The next day, William was recovered and smiling on Lisandro's Show. Lagoon City wanted to know about the beloved ex-soccer player and his misadventure with “Mrs.” Damascene.Lisandro begins after enthusiastic applause from the audience, “Will, tell us how you are doing.”William responds charismatically, “I'm fine, Lisandro, thanks for asking.”“But it seems like months ago you were bedridden in the hospital. Can we know what happened or is it still a secret?”“No, Detective Amoreira will close the investigation. Pamela Damascene hit me on the head and I almost died from a brain bleed.”The audience is shocked. Lisandro makes a theatrical grimace.“How absurd, people. And why was she so mean?”“She wanted to discuss the custody of our son Caio. But the family court had already determined that I would have full custody. Unfortunately, my boy's mother failed as a good example and I had to take this energetic step.”“She resented it.”“She wanted to take advantage of my bad behavior last

Ronaldo's silence about the commercial where Jack participated was enough to make Octavio appear.“Son, you said the commercial was sane and decent. But you were embracing a woman who was not your wife.”“In the commercial, she was my wife, father. It was just a representation.”“And you had to be shirtless?”“I was in my underwear and sweatpants, you could tell.”Octavio is amused, “What are you guys talking about? Did the commercial appear?”Ronaldo tries not to be cruel, “Yes, too modern for my taste, but your brother said he didn't get AIDS.”Suddenly the phone rings. Jack will answer.“Hello?”On the other side, a sweet, melodious female voice, “Jack, have you seen it? We went out on TV! You were wonderful as a husband, there are people here who think we are married in real life!”“I saw it too, Veronica. I didn’t think they were going to leave so many seconds of us in bed.”“I will be ready to record more promotional content. Let's get good money, it's Rocha Constructions after
Building My Life Chapter 1449 They Forgave Each Other
In Teodoro's building, Tiago is disgusted with the prospect of Carmen already wanting to quit her job because of the confusion involving Pamela.“Honey, get this out of your head. Nobody is trying to lynch you or anything.” He responds affectionately.Carmen smiles at him, “I know you want to cheer me up, darling. But, wouldn't that happen sooner or later? Let's go ahead with it and I don't suffer any more heartache.”“Who is accusing you?” Tiago wants to know, feeling outraged.Cristina intermediates the conversation, “Ehr... that doesn't matter anymore. Let's avoid confusion, ours is enough. What are we going to do about Pamela?”“My subordinates are already looking for her,” Tiago responds dryly.Cristina and Carmen get goosebumps. Again, Tiago using his contacts as if he were a mobster or CIA spy?“Honey, when are you going to tell me who your agents are and how you got them?” Carmen risks by asking.“Never.” Tiago frowns, “I don't want you and our son to be murdered.”The answer,

She is blonde, natural body, has straight hair as required by the 90s, and wears clothes like the girls in “Beverly Hills 90210”.“It's good to be alive for another day's work.” Veronica greets him.“I've never seen anyone so excited to shoot a commercial.” Jack jokes.Veronica wiggles amusedly, “Do you really think you can slip through the cracks, Jack Motta?”Jack doesn't respond.Veronica pats his shoulder, “I have your book. And I followed the TV soap opera.”“Oh, I have a fan. Too bad the show didn't have a second season.” Jack responds good-naturedly.“Well, I preferred it that way. Your book didn't have room for more episodes. If they continued, they would ruin everything.”“The show of Isabel’s book has been renewed.”“Because her show got more ratings, but you should realize they aren't using the book as a reference anymore,” Veronica claims to be knowledgeable on the subject.Jack is delighted to see that Veronica

Jack and Octavio are having lunch together at Crystal Blue.“So, bro, how was the photo shoot?” Octavio asks as he cuts the filet mignon.“It was wonderful. They called all the actors in the commercial for us to represent a family happy to buy an apartment built by Rocha Constructions.” Jack takes a sip of wine.Octavio smiles mischievously, “Did they call your actress friend?”Jack blushes a little, “Her name is Veronica.”“Veronica who?” Octavio is already thinking about marriage.“Just Veronica, for now, you little hurried one.” Jack laughs.“You know that marrying her will be the only option to soothe our father's heart, you know?” Octavio speaks as if this were paramount.“I know. Poor Daddy...” Jack sighs.Suddenly the same Veronica appears at the restaurant. She doesn't see the Motta brothers, but they do.Veronica greets Kelvin effusively at the maître d's stand.“Did you see the commercial, Kelvin?” She is blown away.“I did, Veronica!

Josias and Carmen enter Tiago's room. The CFO was busy with calculations and spreadsheets, but he stops work when he sees who was coming in.“Hello, guys. You look like something serious has happened.”Carmen starts to speak, “Honey, I've already communicated my decision to Josias.”Josias adds, “And I said I can accept it because of the pregnancy, but not because she feels rejected.”Carmen sighs, “It will be better this way, Josias. Vânia doesn't talk to me anymore and Shirley doesn't take her mobile table to the secretary's desk. I have to get up and go to the kitchen if I don't want to die of hunger and thirst.”Tiago gets upset, “If that's why, let's talk to them to—““No, dear, that's exactly what I want to avoid. Each with their decision. I don't want anyone being forced to be my friend. I prefer to stay at home to be a good mother.”“OK, dear, but let it be clear that Rocha Constructions will be eternally grateful for your ten years of dedication to the company.”Carmen smiles

Diane is flannelling the top of the lobby counter in Teodoro's building. In keeping with tradition, the radio plays “Welcome to Paradise” by Green Day.Carmen enters the lobby and connects herself with the song, “Yes, I left hell and now I'm in heaven.”Diane lifts her head, “Hello, cousin. Why did you say you left hell?”Carmen approaches her, “I quit my job. It was going to happen sooner or later, but I pushed ahead because I felt like I was being an eyesore to certain people.”Diane sighs, “You speak concerning Pam's confusion?”“Yes, especially Vânia. But, I don't blame her. She's married to Melissa's uncle, it's only natural for her to take their side.”Diane revolts, “No, that's not natural. I think you and Aunt Cris have already proved to everyone that you are different from Pam. You don't have four children from different fathers. You didn't lose your virginity in a vacant lot. You didn't destroy the life of a Churchgoer.”Carmen smiles weakly, “But it doesn't seem to count, d

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?

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
