Building My Life Chapter 1627 My Life is at an End
After learning that Francisco also confirms Maggie's prostitution, Bernardo despairs and decides to go to Crystal Blue for help.Upon being greeted by Frederick, he asks eagerly, “Fred, are your bosses in?”“Kelvin is over at the bar checking drinks and Daryl is summing up his noon service receipts with the help of his girlfriend.”“Thank you very much.” Bernardo pats the waiter on his shoulder and goes to the bar.Kelvin notices his brother-in-law's presence, “Bernie! Did you come to tell us that you forgave Maggie?”“How is it possible, when it seems I'm the only man in the world who doesn't know she was a harlot?” Bernardo asks in a shaky voice.Kelvin closes the liquor cabinet with a wrinkled nose and turns to Bernardo, “Don't fall for these slanders. Daryl and I are her older brothers and we can confirm that this never happened.”“Then why did your uncle just confirm?” Bernardo asks with anguish.Kelvin is equally shocked, “Uncle Francisco? Well, he did it just to please my mothe

Josias is having dinner with his family at the moment: David, J.J and Katherine.“Dad, can we go to the beach this weekend?” David suggests.“Absolutely, son. Do you want us to call your mother?”David fills his face with shadows, “No, she's gonna want to bring that friend.”Katherine chokes on her red wine in a vain attempt to suppress a laugh.Josias looks seriously at his son, “David, I don't want you to hate your mother for this.”“I don't hate my mother, I hate her friend.” David plays with his food, stirring it with his fork, “He doesn't help her get a job. Dad, do you help Mom work as a maid here?”Katherine can't hold back any longer and laughs out loud.“See? Aunt Kate agrees.” David exclaims.Katherine takes the floor, “David, your mother won't want to work as a maid. And your father has no way of getting her into Rocha Constructions.”Josias is embarrassed by the conversation, “Let's talk about this more calmly. Now eat the mashed potatoes.”Ernesto respectfully approaches,
Building My Life Chapter 1629 She's Back
On Tuesday, Gustavo finds Angela fiercely arguing with another secretary from another company where she had left her résumé.“Did you trouble yourself by calling just to say I WASN'T approved in the job interview? And may I know why?”On the other side, the secretary replies with annoyance, “We got bad references from Rocha Constructions and my boss recognized you as the ex-fiancée of Mr. Josias Rocha. We can't hire you and so put ourselves in the crosshairs of his wrath. I'm sorry.”“Listen here, you sl—” The secretary hung up on the other end, “Hello? HELLO?” Angela slams the mouthpiece on the device, “Damn!”Gustavo does ‘tsk, tsk’ and sits down to put on his boots, “I told you so, Angela. You won't get a job in this town. The only chance you'll ever get rich is by marrying an idiot millionaire who doesn't read Maggiezine.”Angela snorts, “That's impossible. Even though my future husband is an idiot, every capixaba reads Maggiezine. No, Gus, I'm going to have to outdo myself by sta

Beto is dumbfounded when he sees Vera Reis returning to Lagoon City. At another time, he would hug his sister tightly, but now, he can't help but get angry.He frowns and remains still, “But what do you think you're doing here?”Vera looks at the shelves, “But why is our father's radio off? We need to keep the tradition!”Vera goes to the radio and turns it on. The song “Missing” by Everything But the Girl makes her dance while Beto thinks he's seeing a haunting.“How did you have the nerve to return, Vera?” Beto can only say that for now.Vera turns to him, “What happened to our building?”“OUR building?” Beto roars, “The building is MINE!”Vera leans back against the counter, “So I won't have any profit sharing?”“You already receive money from customers who rape you in the underground club.” Beto punches the counter.Vera, however, bursts out laughing, tilting her head back. Beto doesn't understand what's so funny.******Kelvin enters Melissa's office and finds her intent on the b
Building My Life Chapter 1631 I Want to See Wally Again
Beto and Vera are going to talk in the office. Beto closes the door for fear that someone will see his straying sister.“Is this shame of me?” Vera is always scoffing and joking, “Nobody will recognize me.”“As you noticed, today we’ll have a farewell party for Cristina and Moacyr.” Beto angrily responds, “They're leaving for Victoria because Moacyr needs specialist treatment, and to stop Pamela from returning here. The ironic thing is that I asked them to look for you!”“And why did you want to look for me?” Vera smiles.Beto punches the desk, “Stop delaying, Vera! I know very well why you came back!”Vera discards the mocking posture and takes a deep breath. When she speaks again, it's Vera's tone from before, “Yes, Beto. As seen, you already understood. I am aware that Wally is out of jail and is here.”Beto grabs his hair in despair, “It's not possible, Vera! The man is trying to live a normal life and is constantly being watched over by Josias and his parents! You won’t be able t
Building My Life Chapter 1632 Just As a Best Friend
Josias is surprised to hear from Angela that she intends to leave town.“What's up? Everyone is leaving town.” He asks as if Angela is to blame for this.Angela shrugs, “Looks like Lagoon City isn't the dream city everyone thought.”“It is the city of dreams for the good citizen.” Josias pins her.“OK, since I'm not welcome, I'd better go.” Angela takes a deep breath and takes courage, “I want to know how our son is going to be.”Josias grieves, “Angela, David is missing you so much. If I tell him you're leaving, he'll want to go with you. He doesn't even know where Rio de Janeiro is. However, he created a mortal hatred of Gustavo Carvalho.”Angela seems to think a lot about the decision she's going to make, “I understand. So in that case, tell him I'm going alone.”Josias smiles slightly, “Angela, if you continue to take this Gustavo in tow, not only will I assume he's David's father, I'll cancel the alimony. Or, if you leave David with me and go with Gustavo to Rio, I'll get full cu

Beto and Teresa talk in Teodoro's office. The heir looks around the white enclosure and smiles. On top of the closet, the small portable TV that Teodoro used in the 80s was there, stored.Then he turns to Teresa, “OK, Tess. Tell me what is bothering you.”Teresa takes a deep breath, “Mr. Reis, you better fire me at once.”“I will decide if this is necessary,” Beto responds seriously.“This morning the postman showed up. I was busy with Pedro and asked Rosemary to see him. She took the letters and proceeded to check them. Then...”Teresa takes Pamela's letter from her jeans pocket and hands it to Beto, “Rosemary saw the letter and put it in her lunch box. I didn't discover it until lunchtime.”Beto picks up the letter as if it were a used piece of toilet paper, “And my daughter certainly read it hidden at school.”“I don't know why she did it!” Teresa frets, “Does she know that Pamela is forbidden to keep in touch, but the longing spoke louder?”“Only if she overheard one of our conver

Beto decides to take Wallace to the restrooms for a private conversation. The office door was closed, indicating that Josias and Tiago were still inside.As he walked down the hall, Wallace saw the door to the old apartment where he and Pamela lived. Chills ran through his body.“How different the building is.” Wallace tries to calm down, “I remember there was a huge crack here.”Beto smiles, “Josias bought the building, tore it down completely, and had another built from scratch. Even though we have the bathroom here, now every apartment and kitchenette has yours.”“Look, so if I ever want to come here, I won't be afraid of any girl going into the wrong bathroom.”Beto breaks his smile, “Wallace, don't move here. I called you to let you know that my damn sister knows you got out of jail and back to town.”Wallace turns pale and feels his heart beat faster.“I know, I was really upset too.” Beto continues, “She showed up here looking like a nun, disguised so she wouldn't be recognized

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

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
