Building My Life Chapter 1652 Therapy for Vera
Katherine returns to Rocha Constructions after having lunch at the mansion. Alfred appears at her desk.“Kate, you missed your fiancé's announcement. Shirley Mountain no longer works among us.”“He told me over breakfast.” Kate responds with a gentle smile, “It's too bad, I liked the cookies. But she never regretted her evil deeds against her daughter...”“Yeah, you can't defend her after it's been proven that she wasn't a prostitute. Why would a mother do that to the daughter she has mothered?”“Out of sheer jealousy. She was in love with Mr. Marçal, but I heard that she is dating her brother-in-law. Why did she do so much havoc for nothing?” Katherine scratches her head.“And how are the preparations for the big party doing?” Alfred asks excitedly.“Great. You will come?”Octavio returns from lunch and follows the conversation from here.“Yes, I will. Will we have interesting people to meet?” Alfred asks looking at Octavio.“Of course!” Katherine assures, “I just can't guarantee tha

Saturday arrived, and with it, the engagement party for Josias and Katherine, with the wedding already confirmed for 1997.Katherine wears a very elegant pink long dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline.

Glasses of champagne were offered to guests.To show that he had no remorse, Josias invited William, but the former brother-in-law insisted on showing anger and dissatisfaction. While he lived in a simple working-class house, behold, his disaffection boasted this mansion.Caio nudged his father, “Happy that face, old man.”“What kind of mania is it to call your father ‘old’.” William grumbles,

Beto arrives with his family. Josias notices how elegant Teresa looks in a sleeveless dress with the hem almost touching the floor.“Hello, Beto! Thanks for coming.”“Before they start with the jokes, I'll tell you that Tess is my girlfriend,” Beto informs him.“Our new mother, Uncle Josias!” Pedro exclaims satisfied.Josias strokes Pedro's hair and then faces Rosemary, “And you, princess, how are you?”“I'm fine, just a little worried.”“Why?”“I don't know if my mother will come back since Aunt Vera has returned,” Rosemary responds innocently.Even so, Beto and Teresa almost had a nervous breakdown. They didn't think they would have to ask Rosemary to keep it a secret!Josias manages to disguise his surprise with mastery and even responds to his ‘niece’, “Rosemary, your aunt Carmen just told me that your mother is at your grandfather's house. Don't worry, she won't hurt you.”“In the letter, she said that she only wanted the best for me. I am confused, Uncle Josias.” She scratches h

Katherine is disgusted by the confusion brewing among the Mountain family. She stands by the fiancé's side and tries to remedy the situation, “Guys, what's going on here?”“This lady is making a fuss, Miss Bezerra,” Bernardo complains pointing at Shirley.Katherine looks haughtily at Shirley, “Ma'am, we don't want to kick anyone out like a bouncer. Would it be too much to ask of you to behave yourself, not to overindulge in wine, and not to invent slander about your daughter?”Shirley is going to insist she didn't slander Maggie, but she takes a deep breath, “I promise.”“OK, so let's blend in with the rest of the guests,” Katherine advises as if it were an order.Lisandro Torres is next to appear. He is dazzled by the luxury of the mansion and his eyes are comically wide.“Miss Bezerra and Mr. Rocha, what a wonderful place! Surely, you are the hottest couple in town.”“Thank you for coming, Mr. Torres.” Josias greets him more relieved.“Oops, what is this? In here I am Lisandro, I am
Building My Life Chapter 1656 She Didn't Have Fun
Hours later, the party was over, and all the guests left. Ernesto, Lilian, and other servants took care of the cleaning. Katherine took the opportunity to grab leftovers from the buffet.“No, I won’t throw away this delicious food!” She told Lilian as she took what was left of the cake.“You are the one who decides.” Lilian shrugs, “The party was wonderful. And if I may, ma'am, this is the first time I've seen Josias be so clear and open about his feelings.”Katherine agrees, nodding silently. Josias was never one to say every day that he loved Katherine, but today he did in front of all his family and friends.Josias put J.J. to sleep, “Good night, sonny.”“Good night, daddy!”Josias kisses his son's forehead. For a moment, he remembered Alan, but now the firstborn is eleven years old and sleeping alone.******However, Melissa is putting her son to sleep all the same.“Mother, do you still love my father?”Melissa feels punched by the firstborn's sudden question.“Son, don't offend
Building My Life Chapter 1567 No Competition for Jane
On Monday, Beto and Teresa are sitting face-to-face with Josias, about to explain what is happening with Vera.“We haven't made it official yet.” Josias comments, “But starting this year, we will start building our headquarters. Let’s get out of the Vargas building.”“It's about time!” Beto exclaims, “Congratulations, Josias.”“Thanks, now let's get straight to the point.” Josias folds his hands on the desk and looks steadily at the couple.“It was my fault, sir.” Teresa respectfully states, “I let Rosemary receive the postman and she discovered a letter addressed to her by Pamela. Beto had asked Pamela countless times not to get in touch, but she insisted. We even had to change the phone.”“You guys give me the new number later.” Josias comments, “What about Vera?”“It seems like an irony of fate.” Beto says, “Seu Moacyr and Cristina went to the capital to prevent Pamela from coming back here in an attempt to see Wallace again, but my sister managed to do that. She showed up at my da
Building My Life Chapter 1658 Death Is a Part Of Life
In the Mountain Penthouse, Melissa was supposed to sweep the living room floor, but she's standing with the broom in hand as the radio plays Enrique Iglesias's song “Experiência Religiosa”.Kelvin enters his residence with letters and a yellow package in his hand. He's smiling, “Whew, good thing you're a Maggiezine subscriber! The biggest confusion is happening in the streets, with girls fighting aggressively for a copy.”Melissa wakes up from her trance, but this hasn't gone unnoticed by Kelvin. She takes the yellow package and opens it. It's Maggiezine's issue with Jack Motta looking very sexy with a penetrating gaze.“Therein lies the reason.” Kelvin repeats the piercing gaze, “What were you thinking about, my love?”“Last week, Alan asked me if I still loved Josias.” Melissa decided not to hide anything from her husband.Kelvin frowns, “Why did your son ask that kind of question?”“Because he wants me to always be on good terms with Josias.” Melissa sits down and drops the broom,
Building My Life Chapter 1659 Let's Use the Revolver
Kelvin is talking to Daryl on his way from Café Mendonça to Crystal Blue. They cross the Main Square while talking.“And when Alan asked if Melissa still loved Josias, it was to see if we were going to walk away from the city as Angela and David did.” Kelvin chuckles.But Daryl doesn't laugh along with him, “Bro, this is really weird. Why did your stepson ask such a silly question?”Kelvin stops laughing and sees how pissed off his older brother is, “Daryl, stop, I won't let—”“Won't you let me show you the truth you insist on denying?” Daryl sternly interrupts him, “You need to earn the love and respect of Josias Rocha's children.”“I am trying.” Kelvin justifies himself, “But it's not like I'm in some competition.”“Believe me, little brother, it's a competition. Unfortunately, the game is not easy, but you already knew that when you decided to date a woman who already had two children, correct?”Kelvin refuses to be radical, “Daryl, you're overreacting. It's easy for you to say bec

Chapter 3210 Josias Junior in Action
At Vaztrans, William questioned Sofia about the company’s finances, which are now in order since her parents stopped interfering.“Uh, I think the explanation is simple. With my father no longer here, we don’t have that urge to prove we’re always the best public transportation company in the city.” Sofia sat face to face with him. “I remember my father would always freak out when people mocked the old bus models we had.”“Yeah, and he would waste money buying expensive buses that we couldn’t afford to maintain.” William accepted this explanation for now. “So, Sofia, you wouldn’t be offended if I said your father was just playing at being a manager?”Sofia made a face. “My father managed Vaztrans since its inception. I’m here to continue his legacy.”“I know you’ll do a good job.” William leaned back in his chair. “I just want us to keep things this way now that we’re in control.”Sofia crossed her arms. “Great. I hope that doesn’t mean any insinuation on your part – or from that littl
Chapter 3209 Time to Look for Other Girls
Vaztrans, morning. Brand new buses come in and out of the garage, with drivers and fare collectors smiling in their new uniforms. In William’s office (which used to belong to Olivia), he scratched his forehead while researching and checking the financial spreadsheets. Sofia, greeted like a diva by the staff, entered the office. “Good morning to you too! Have a good day at work!” She approached the desk. “Good morning, Will! What’s with that long face?” “I’m not making a long face. I’m making a face of someone who doesn’t understand this accounting,” William replied, still looking at the monitor. “What’s the problem? Are we broke again?” Sofia’s eyes widened. “No.” William finally looked at her, with a mischievous smile. “We have so much slack that we could pay off one of the installments of the loan we took from Josias if we wanted to.” Sofia continued with wide eyes. “Oh, that’s incredible, right?” William kept smiling. “Sofia, you’re not getting my astonishment. The point is
Chapter 3208 A Night in the Cell to Reflect
At Rocha Constructions, Josias and Alan faced a dilemma: should they start a war against the Borges brothers? Thierry noticed their initial hesitation. “If it’s too much for you two, forget it. J.J. and I will manage on our own. Maybe Daryl can help us.” The mention of Daryl made Josias react, “Wait a minute, Thierry. We never said we wouldn’t help you. On the contrary, I feel the same way: that truck was deliberately sent against the supermarket to cause that accident.” “Yeah, a way to force J.J. to choose between focusing on the farm or on Vasconcelos. No one but the Borges brothers was interested in that.” Thierry smiled slightly. “The problem is we have no proof.” Josias put his hands in his pockets. “The truck was on the street, there are no surveillance cameras nearby.” Alan asked, “But J.J. decided to stay with Vasconcelos, right?” “Exactly. That was our way of getting back at them.” Josias nodded. “So, our only form of investigation will be to observe how Reynaldo Borges
Chapter 3207 The Law Must Be Obeyed
Just out of spite, David was taken to the Happiness Slum police station, where Dylan was now interrogating him and pressing him against the wall. David was shaking while handcuffed, thinking he might have a chance to escape. “What is going on here? LET ME GO! This station is not equipped to handle my problems!” Dylan sat at the desk, keeping one of his subordinates nearby, standing by the door. “Oh really? It just so happens that it’s the opposite: Commissioner Tavares said he doesn’t want to see your face at the headquarters!” David was horrified by the remark. “What does that mean? We can’t allow such abuse! Call my dad immediately!” Dylan, grinning with delight, leaned back in his chair. “Mr. Souza, it was your father who ordered us to remove you from the Rocha Constructions building.” “That’s IMPOSSIBLE! My dad never ordered Alan’s arrest!” “Isn’t it because Alan Campos Rocha has never given the police any reason to detain him?” Dylan asked ironically. “And on what charges
Chapter 3206 Is Daniela Pregnant?
At the management office of Lafayette Supermarket, Thierry was signing a fat check for a member of the Cintra family. The man, who was the victim’s brother, was staring at everyone with disdain and arrogance. “You have to understand that we can no longer shop at this supermarket, right?” he kept saying. “My poor brother used to come here because the wine prices were cheaper, but now... we’re going to have to resort to the little store closer to home, even if it costs more!” Nadia was outraged. “Mr. Cintra, don’t be arrogant!” Mr. Cintra raised his chin at Nadia. “I can sue you for this too, you know?” “No, you can’t,” Thierry emphasized, tearing the check from the invoice and hastily extending it to him. “Take it and get out of our sight!” “You are in the wrong and still want to play the victim!” Mr. Cintra simply felt entitled to cluck. “Thank goodness my brother didn’t die! Otherwise, we would tear this crappy supermarket down! It was much better when the Ramos family ran this
Chapter 3205 At the Height of Despair
The next day, Daniela was talking to Dr. Matthew Hogan at General Hospital. “Alright, Daniela,” he said with a smile. “I hope we don't find anything serious in your tests.” “Could I... be pregnant?” Daniela asked in a whisper. Talking to Matthew inevitably reminded her of Silvana Hogan, his mother and a famous obstetrician. “My mother is now retired and enjoying the Bahamas,” Matthew said kindly. “If your test results indicate you’re expecting, we’ll refer you to the appropriate department.” “Thank you so much, Dr. Hogan!” Daniela extended her hand, and Matthew shook it. A few moments later, Daniela was walking through the corridors, thinking about the possibility of being pregnant. She even placed her right hand on her belly, already imagining herself carrying the heir of the Reis family. She smiled mischievously as she recalled the countless nights of passionate love where Pedro ravaged her mercilessly, only stopping when the alarm rang the next morning. How could she not
Chapter 3204 Someone is Not Feeling Well
Melissa worried about her parents' objection regarding the twins getting involved with their paternal family. "Mom, Dad, I understand your concern." Melissa broke the silence. "But in a way, they're right. I don't have the right to completely cut them off from Kelvin. Besides, they have another little brother." Dora looked at her wristwatch. "At this hour, Mary must be in the penthouse, keeping an eye on Anthony." "Oh, did they say they were going to do that?" Melissa smiled slightly. "Yes, someone texted them asking for it. Probably Kelvin," Simeon replied seriously. Dora explained, "Daughter, let's hope Daryl doesn't take advantage of the closeness to poison our grandchildren's minds." Melissa was alarmed. "What are you saying, Mom? I won't allow that!" "No, I know you won't allow it." Dora frowned. "That's why I hope you visit Kelvin and set some boundaries." "If I bring this up, I'll unintentionally be starting a stupid war," Melissa retorted. "They know their boundaries.
Chapter 3203 Long-Term Consequences
At Rocha Constructions, Sofia is eager to prove that she was right all along about Suzy. She leaned back against Alan again, wanting information. "Dear, before we were interrupted, you were saying something about me being right to be suspicious of Suzy Cogo. I knew that smartass was planning something!" Alan scratched the back of his neck. "I feel like she was the one Everaldo mentioned in the prophecy." Sofia's eyes lit up. "That's true! Suzy is the only one investing out there! Do you think she will want a slice of Rocha Constructions?" "I sincerely hope my dad doesn't agree to sell any shares. I won't do that. Better warn Caio." Alan became serious. "Well, I'll have to put up with her at Vaztrans." Sofia sighed, feeling discouraged. Alan turned to his wife with curiosity. "Speaking of which, dear, we haven't heard any news about Vaztrans being in trouble this year. Did you finally manage to control the spending?" Sofia looked confused. "Uh, I don't know what you're talking a

Sofia reacted, obviously pleased, when none other than her husband stated that she was right.Unable to resist any longer, she sat on Alan's lap and delivered THAT delicious, passionate kiss.When the kiss ended, Alan was perplexed, eyes wide."What was that for?" He asked, lost."You silly!" Sofia began to laugh. "This is your reward for believing in me. And tonight, you'll have another reward that's under my panties—"The last phrase was clearly heard by Caio, who was opening the door at that moment.Sofia quickly bounced off Alan's lap, trying to disguise the intimacy. Caio blushed slightly, smiling awkwardly.Alan smiled nervously. "Wow, everyone decided to start early in 2012! Good morning, cousin."Caio avoided looking at Sofia. "Good morning, cousin. Do we have any updates regarding our annual meeting?""My dad appointed me president – again." Alan's cat-like grin indicated that he wasn't complaining. "And we'll have all the important people, just like last year."Caio's face g
