Building My Life Chapter 1547 A Difficult Decision
Katherine holds her sore cheek for a few seconds after being slapped by Angela. Afterward, she smiles as if the aggression doesn't hurt.“Looks like someone couldn't bear to hear the truth.” She mocks her rival.“The truth is that no one is going to stop my marriage to Josias. He chose me and not you for obvious reasons!” Angela rants, trying to convince herself of that.Katherine smirks, “It looks like the tables are turning. You're the one acting crazy and I'm being the controlled and rational one. Is that not how you snatched Josias from me?”“You lost him for being a promiscuous scoundrel!” Angela yells, “Josias told me he caught you coming back from the street all worn out after sleeping with other men!”“Yes, that was my mistake, and I bitterly regret it.” Katherine admits, “Unlike you, who think the world is turning against you.”“But isn't that what's happening?” Angela gestures, “After everyone heard that prophecy, there's nothing else to say: Josias and Melissa will get back
Building My Life Chapter 1548 Can't Kill Everaldo
Josias enters the mansion and hears Angela's cry echoing through the halls. He quickens his steps and goes to the ballroom.There, the radio is off, the drink is hot, and flies are landing on the food. Angela is lying on a couch that looks like a psychiatrist's couch, sobbing and crying incessantly.Josias addresses her, "My love... Angie, I'm so sorry—"“It was that slut, it was Melissa!” Angela screams madly, “While you were worried about me not letting her in, she didn't even want to come! She didn’t come and convince everyone to boycott my beautiful party!”Angela continues to shake and sob. Josias wiggles.“Angie, my bachelor party was a failure too. But nobody said it was Melissa's idea.”“Of course it was her idea, honey, for God's sake, don't be blind!” She screams through her tears.“I'm trying to open my eyes!” Josias asserts, “Until hours ago, I thought everyone agreed with our union.”“That damn Everaldo!” Angela straightens up on the divan, “I'm going to kill him, do you
Building My Life Chapter 1549 The Necessary Conversation
Monday. Elza is typing on the computer, well into her work. Her office door opens and Jane walks in with a serious expression.“Mrs. Queiroz, your son wishes to speak with you.”“Allow him in, Jane, thank you.”Jane makes room and Josias enters, saying good morning to the secretary. After she closes the door, the son faces his mother.Elza raises her head, “Son, I already told you that I fax you the hotel's financial report.”“I didn't come to talk about the hotel's finances, Mom. Your secretary has already done that.” Josias answers seriously.Elza smiles slightly, “So you came to talk about what I called you yesterday.”Josias pulls out a chair and sits down, “Mom, what's going on with everyone? Suddenly, everyone turned against my marriage.”Elza takes a deep breath, “Son, facts have arisen that have put Angie in an unfavorable light.”“I don't believe the slander of haters at all!” Josias quickly responds, outraged.“Calm down, son!” Elza is amazed, “Whoever told me wasn't a hater
Building My Life Chapter 1550 Disturbance of Others' Peace
Josias is reassured when Elza informs him that Melissa wants to remain engaged to Kelvin. “Good, Mom.” He smirks like a fool, “I wouldn't be able to ask Melissa to come back to me after all the shenanigans I've inflicted on her. She suffered a lot, first because of my two adulteries, second because of my supposed death. I left her in the dark to investigate that rogue Ephraim Bezerra.” “By the way, his daughter is working here as a maid,” Elza remembers him. Josias smiles from the corner of his mouth, “You didn't miss your chance, huh? Is she even doing a good job?” “So far, Mrs. Rosales had no complaints. I just hope she doesn't push her luck.” Elza looks for complaints in Mrs. Rosales’ report, but there aren't. “Back to the subject, Mom, it made me sad to see everyone talking about Everaldo's prophecy and Kelvin just listening. Everyone talked as if he wasn't there.” Elza suspects that Uélton still hasn't told Josias about the true interpretation of the prophecy, "Have you been
Building My Life Chapter 1551 You Better Be a Photographer
Josias walks through the Rainbow Garden house under construction. Uélton's battery-powered radio sets the mood of the construction site with the song “Earth Song”, by Michael Jackson. Some masons try to hum the song without the slightest knowledge of the English language, but what counts is the animation to work.Josias doesn’t join the relaxed atmosphere of the construction site and continues walking with a frown until he finds Uélton precisely with Jock in the room that will be one of the bedrooms.“Hello, buddy!” Uélton greets him as if the ill-fated bachelor party didn't exist.“Good day, sir.” Jock greets him respectfully, “What envelope is that?”Josias holds out the envelope, but not close enough for one of them to pick it up, “Here are the pictures Jock took inside. I recognize that they turned out well, Uélton. I think you should specialize in photography.”Uélton narrows his eyes, “I already specialize in electrical engineering.”“Really?” Josias asks in a strange tone.“And
Building My Life Chapter 1552 Unfair Trade
Uélton and Jock are surprised to see that Josias is threatening to fire his best friend because of Angela.Uélton defends himself as best he can, “Josias, you are taking this too far.”“Am I the one who keeps saying I'll make two more people unhappy? Isn't it enough that I broke Melissa's heart?” Josias asserts gruffly.“You can heal Melissa's heart by marrying her again.” Uélton insists, almost begging.“And how got Kelvin and Angela in this story?” Josias smiles wryly.“Kelvin is a good guy, he can get another girl.” Uélton responds as if everything were so simple, “As for Angela, I really don't care how she turns out. She is to blame for you getting divorced.”“But she mothered one of my children. David is not to blame for anything.” Josias remembers him.“Neither Alan nor Caroline, but they are the ones who suffered the most.” Uélton says, “However, that's not what it's about. What do the pictures I took of Jock have to do with all this?”Josias smiles from the corner of his mouth
Building My Life Chapter 1553 I Only Want Your Good
Elza is walking through the hotel corridors, checking that things are in order, until Vernon finds her.“Hey, my dear! The maids said you were here.” He kisses her on the cheek, “I hope this article is good enough for all of us.”Elza smiles and takes the newspaper that her husband handed her. But the smile slowly fades as she reads the article.“Honey, are you going to...” She asks fearfully, “Are you going to talk about Angie's failed bachelorette party?”“I told you, honey.” Vernon smiles slyly, “People need to know the truth.”“I talked to Josias.” She sighs, “He's still shocked by our slights, but he's pleased with Melissa committing to sticking with Kelvin.”“Darling, I think Josias is going to get himself into trouble marrying that little minx. I know they have a son, but Josias already takes care of all of David's needs.” Vernon opines with a serious face.Elza nods, worried, “And I think further: Angela might be able to get rid of J.J, wanting David to be the sole heir.”“Tha

At Café Montanha, Rodrigo brought a radio to set the scene while his customers have a basic snack. At this moment, the song “Fairground”, by Simply Red, cheered up those who had a very tasty coffee.The only ones who didn't get excited were Shirley and Kelvin, relatives of the cafeteria owner.Kelvin scowled in anger when he heard his mother ask him to break off his engagement to Melissa, “Mom, have you lost your mind?”“Son, you know I love you.” Shirley tries to explain herself, “I wouldn't ask this if I knew it was best for everyone.”“For everyone?” Kelvin retorts in disbelief.“Yes, because I'm afraid of Everaldo's prophecy.” Shirley finally explains why.Kelvin, hearing his mother, chuckles and takes both her hands, “Mom, don't worry. Melissa will be happy with me, as Everaldo said.”“No, son, we got it wrong. Everaldo told Uélton that the correct interpretation of the prophecy—”“OK, I understand.” Kelvin gently interrupts his mother, “Uélton talked about it at the bachelor par

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.

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

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
