Building My Life Chapter 1530 I Won’t Be Against
William closes the office door and addresses Beto, “Who was that pretty lady?”Beto sits in the chair, “Do you like her? You can stay with her. Her name is Teresa.”“Can we call her ‘Tess’ or ‘Terê’?” William laughs.“Call her what you want.” Beto turns to the computer, “Why are you asking me for permission?”“It's because you're obviously the boss.” William sits in the visitors' seat, “Is she your son's nanny?”“My children’s nanny, plural.” Beto smiles mischievously.“Oh God, did you also tell her that Rosemary is your daughter?” William rolls his eyes.“What can I do?” Beto shrugs, “I think the truth will die with us. I can't break the girl's heart. It's enough for her to realize her bitch mother isn't coming back.”“She already knows?” William asks in amazement.“No, but she's already ten years old, she's not stupid. Why would her mother be away from her family?”“I wonder what she must be up to in the capital.” William scoffs.“I don't want to imagine. My future is here with my c
Building My Life Chapter 1531 Dispute for Josias
Teresa returns to Beto's apartment, carefully leading Pedro.“I’ll never ride a bike again,” Pedro swears.Teresa giggles, “When your arm gets better, you'll get back on your bike and run the Tour de France.”“What is it?”“I'll explain later.” She unlocks the door and enters.As they enter, Rosemary is watching the Ramones' “I Don't Wanna Grow Up” music video.“Rose, shouldn't you be watching ‘Sandy & Junior’?” Teresa narrows her eyes.Rosemary shrugs, “I didn't change the channel, it was the programming that did.”“Well, if you're enjoying it...” Teresa smiles.“Rosemary, look what they stuck in my arm,” Pedro complains.“A schoolmate of mine also had his arm in a cast. Afterward, we all signed autographs.” Rosemary laughs.Teresa notices some correspondence on the coffee table, “Did the postman come here?”Rosemary replies, “Yes, but since the door was locked, he shove them under the door.”With eagle vision, Teresa finds a letter addressed to Rosemary instead of Beto. She takes it
Building My Life Chapter 1532 She Doesn't Want Me in the Wedding
In Beto's office, the desk phone rings. He was keeping an eye on the price sheet for goods from suppliers on the computer. “Hello?” He answers, still staring at the monitor. On the other side, Teresa is on the landline. The children had already had lunch and went to nap. “Hello, Mr. Reis. This is Teresa.” “Hi Tess, how are you?” Teresa is embarrassed. She has been trying to maintain formality for a while, “I thought you were going to ask ‘how are the children?’ Anyway, they had lunch and are taking a nap.” “But that's not why you called.” Beto narrows his gaze. “No, there is a matter I have not dared to resolve. We got the mail. One of the letters has Victoria’s address.” “Victoria?” Beto is intrigued. “Sir... Isn't Pamela Chaves your ex-wife?” Beto takes a deep breath to ward off the stress, “Yeah, she's the damn one.” “Jeez, sir, if I'm touching on a thorny subject—” Beto is quick to fix, “Sorry, Tess! It's just that this so-and-so brought me a lot of problems.” “The let

A few more days passed. It's time for Angela and Melissa's bachelor party.At the Rocha mansion, Angela went over the details with Lilian.“Lilian, here is the updated list of guests for my reception.” Angela hands him the list.“Reception or party, madam?” Lilian questions her, intrigued. Then she reads the list and narrows her eyes, “Aren't you missing Melissa Campos and her mom?”“No, they were removed from the list and our lives, God willing.” Angela stomps away.Lillian frowns. Ernesto appears next.“What is it, woman?”Lilian makes sure no one else will hear, “Let's go over there in that corner.”They hide behind the stairs and Lilian whispers, “The mistress scratched Melissa and Dora from the bachelor party.”“This can only be bullshit!” Ernesto snatches the guest list, “And I'm not finding Flavia and Isabel.”“And now, what are we going to do?” Lilian senses trouble that the people mentioned are not invited.Ernesto ponders like a problem solver. What to do?******The big pro

Ernesto wastes no time. In Josias's private library, he is watching the stock market and its daily variations in the LCN newspaper. The secretary opens the door and enters, “Boss, I need to talk to you.” Josias smiles, “You talk as if that's forbidden, Ernesto. Come in, you can always count on my attention.” Ernesto closes the door and says in a conspiratorial, sinister tone, “Please, boss, don't fire my wife. If she told me this, it's because she thinks an injustice is happening.” “What injustice?” Josias is more interested, leaving the newspaper in his lap. “Your wife, Boss Angela, said that Melissa, Dora, Flávia, and Isabel were cut out of the bachelor party.” Josias hardens his face, “Call your mistress here at once.” “Boss...” Ernesto trembles at Josias's imposing aura. “Lilian will not be fired.” Josias guarantees using a firm and sovereign voice. Ernesto smiles and leaves the library. Josias crosses his arms in spite. First, Melissa didn't want to go to the wedding. Now
Building My Life Chapter 1535 There's No Happy Future Without Overcoming the Past
Francisco and Shirley are embarrassed by Daryl and Kelvin's bust on them.“Boys,” Francisco tries to get around the situation, “don’t embarrass your mother.”“We don't want to embarrass you.” Kelvin defends himself, “We want to wish you well and shout ‘we knew it’!”“In case, Maggie knew it,” Daryl adds.The forbidden name makes Shirley jump off the couch, “OK, nobody mention this whore's name! If something is going on between Frank and me, it's not because of her crazy ideas!”Daryl tilts his head to the side, “Mom, you were the one who swore to win Bernie. Of course, if you settle down with Uncle Francisco, Maggie will settle down with her husband.”“I may not get Bernie, but she will lose him too! As soon as I open his eyes—“Francisco suddenly stands up, “Oh no! I came here to talk about love and the future, and I'm hearing hate and the past on the other side. Excuse me, Shirley, forget what I said.”Shirley is dumbfounded, “But you didn't tell me anything!”“Fortunately! Take car
Building My Life Chapter 1536 Don't Leave Me!
Kelvin is now properly dressed to go out with Daryl. Shirley remains on the couch. The tears have been wiped away, but she is still melancholy. The radio playing Ricky Martin's “Te Extraño, de Te Olvido, Te Amo” doesn't make it easy for Shirley to calm down.“Mom, won't you take the butter cookies?” Daryl asks her, “Josias is going to be hungry.”“I don't even know if I'm going to work today,” Shirley grumbles with her arms crossed.Kelvin approaches her, “Don't do that, Mom. By chance, did we interrupt a declaration of love on the part of Uncle Francisco?”Shirley insists on camouflaging her feelings instead of being frank with them, “What is it, my son? Your mother wasn't thinking any of that. I think when he told me to think about the future, he was referring to our family life.”Daryl doesn't buy the explanation, “I can hear you two talking about love.”“Family love, not romantic love, son.” Shirley is quick to ‘correct’.“So are you going to listen to him and make it up to Maggie
Building My Life Chapter 1537 We Have to Heed the Divine Warning
Josias continues to hug Angela to see if she stops the hysteria. How can he ever leave her?“Ready? Have you stopped despair?”“You still haven't answered me.” Angela starts to cry, “That means you're going to leave me. I’m canceling the bachelorette party!”Angela ends the hug and walks away to leave, but Josias holds her arm like a Hollywood heartthrob.“Don't do anything foolish! I didn't say I'm leaving you. The very idea is ridiculous!”“Then why so much concern about bringing your ex into our lives?” Angela frowns.“What lives? It's just a bachelorette party, Angie! Or are you now going to be scared of Melissa? I am not afraid of Kelvin and I invited him to my bachelor party.”Angela wiggles, “Careful, honey. The less we have contact with these two, the better.”“I'm not jealous of Kelvin. If he's with Melissa now it's because I failed as a husband in 1991.” Josias glares at her.Angela can't face her husband, “Lilian must have told you.”“Don't even think about firing her, hone

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

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
