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
Building My Life Chapter 1660 Arrangements at the Funeral
At Café Montanha, Jack has just signed the cover of Maggiezine for a passionate fan.“Good reading!” He smiles kindly.After the fan walks away, Veronica jokes, “Do you think she'll be able to read anything? She will frame the cover on her bedroom wall and spend hours drooling and worshiping you.”“And will you be jealous?” Jack asks jokingly.“No, because the day will come when Playboy will extend the invitation to me.” Veronica jokes.Jack laughs, “Don't tell that around my dad.”Veronica stops laughing, “Honey, is it just me, or didn’t your father like me?”Jack is surprised by the sudden question, “What's this, honey? No, my father loves you as a future daughter-in-law.”“But he doesn't love me as part of the family,” Veronica concludes sourly.Jack takes her right hand, “Don't talk like that, honey. My dad is still getting used to me being famous.”“Yes, you said he forbade you to achieve fame for fear you'd get AIDS.” Veronica snorts, “Now he understands that it's not that easy,
Building My Life Chapter 1661 Indication
Tuesday. Beto is meeting with William in his office, at the Ramos supermarket.“William, I brought you here to discuss what I intend to do from now on. I told Mr. Ramos that I will leave to take care of my father's building.”“A pity, Beto.” William laments, “We like you here.”“Yes, but that's how business is.” Beto puts his hand on his friend's shoulder, “Can I nominate you to be the next manager here?”William is stunned by the indication, "Beto... Do you think I'm ready?"“Of course, you always did a good job at the warehouse.” Beto nods, “All you have to do is pay attention to the other sections of the supermarket and learn how they work. I learned and managed to overcome myself, and so can you.”“I'm looking for a pay raise.” William laughs, “You can refer me to Mr. Ramos, Beto. Thank you so much for remembering me.”“I do it for our friendship, comrade.” Beto and William hug each other.*****Isabel visits Teodoro's building with narrowed eyes and strangely holding her purse.

Building My Life Chapter 1662 I Just Wanted to Kill Her
William goes to his parents' house to tell them the good news. The radio is on and the song “Se a Vida É”, by Pet Shop Boys, cheers up those present.“Mom, Dad... I will be nominated as the next manager of Ramos supermarket! Isn't that cool?”Dora gapes, then asks, “Will! Is this really true? How did you become a candidate?”Simeon swells with pride, “Oh dear, our son has worked hard and hard, and now he will be rewarded!”"Ah, son, embrace your old mother!" Dora gets emotional.William wants to correct the 'old mother', but he notices how silvery both Dora's and Simeon's hair is. Yes, time is passing...He was fifteen years old when Melissa met Josias and the Campos family's life began to change. Now he's thirty-one and has a fourteen-year-old son!William breaks the hug and comments, “It's time for me to start saving money to leave Caio as a legacy. We already have the house here in Green Park.”“Son, you know that Caio has a space at Rocha Constructions.” Simeon sits in the armchai
Building My Life Chapter 1663 Protecting her Career
William returns to work where Beto was waiting for him in the office. Beto is still worried about his sister getting into trouble and the Freire family's desire to kill her.“Hello, Beto! Did something happen?"“Not yet, but it will happen if Vera continues to meddle in the life of the Freire family.” Beto leans back in his chair, “I stopped by my father's building just to find Mrs. Freire with her husband's revolver hidden in her purse.”William is surprised, “If it was hidden, how did you know?”“It's just that she told me naturally as if it were the most normal thing in the world to kill disaffected people.” Beto rubs his hands over his face to ward off anxiety.“So, how did our boss react to my nomination?” William wanted to change the subject, “My parents already want to barbecue in celebration.”“Ask your father to save the filet steak for now.”Beto's serious tone set William on alert, “I... didn't get the promotion, did I?”Beto looks at William pityingly, “I'm sorry, Will, bu
Building My Life Chapter 1664 The Importance of Legacy
William returns to his parents' house after a grueling day at the warehouse. Now the radio is playing “I’m Not Giving You Up” by Gloria Estefan. Dora was sweeping the floor when she sees her slumped-shouldered son.“Sonny, what happened this time?”“False alarm, mother. I won’t be the supermarket manager.”Simeon comes from the kitchen with a ham sandwich in hand, “What did you say, son? How was that possible?”“As much as Beto had goodwill, the one who decides, in the end, is Mr. Ramos.” William collapses on the couch.“Oh son, we're sorry.” Dora sits next to him, “Well, at least you still have the job as a warehouse supervisor.”“No, mom, I don't know if I want to continue in this life.” William shakes his head, “I told you I want to leave a legacy for my son. The Ramos Supermarket warehouse is not mine, and there is no guarantee that Caio will be hired in my place.”Simeon stares at his son with interest, “What are you thinking about, Will?”William smiles slightly, “I'm thinking a
Building My Life Chapter 1665 Golden Achievements
The Montanha family effusively celebrated the gold medal won by sailors Torben Grael and Marcelo Ferreira. Brazil has always been a difficult country to win many gold medals like the USA, Russia, and China. So any medal in any Olympic sport is always welcome and widely celebrated.Caroline and J.J didn't quite understand what was going on, but they celebrated anyway. Alan and Kelvin waved Brazilian flags from the penthouse balcony. Veronica brought more popcorn from the kitchen to fill her belly.“I brought more food, people! We still have ham sandwiches in the oven.”“Thank you, Veronica.” Melissa snatches the popcorn bucket and eats it voraciously.Veronica invites Rodrigo to chat in a corner of the living room, “Brother, did happen what I'm thinking?”“I don't know what you're thinking,” Rodrigo responds calmly.“Did you observe how much food Melissa prepared?” Veronica blinks mischievously.“Of course, the penthouse is full of visitors.”“Argh, you men...” Veronica rolls her eyes
Building My Life Chapter 1666 When the Joy Ends
Melissa almost drops the platter with the ham sandwiches. Veronica reaches out to take it, but Melissa catches herself in time and places the tray on top of the marble countertop.“Veronica, don't play with such a thing.” She asks her cousin.“Why would I joke about such a subject?” Veronica blinks, “It's entirely normal. Do you think I won't have children when I marry Jack?”“Are you going to marry Jack?” Melissa tries to deflect the subject.“We are still dating. Hey, why are you deflecting the subject?”Melissa takes one of the sandwiches and eats, “I don't know... I'm wondering how Josias and my kids are going to react.”“Josias will wish you well and that you don't die in childbirth, and Alan and Caroline will celebrate the arrival of another little brother or sister.” Veronica sums it all up with childlike ease.But Melissa doesn't think the solution will be so easy. If Josias gets angry... Would he order an abortion?What if he's a boy? What if this son also wants to feel entit

Melissa dropped by the Cardozo Perfumes office.She found Sarah working with a bright smile. “Good morning, Sarah. So, enjoying being back in Lagoon City?”“Oh, I couldn’t be happier, Mrs. Rocha!” Sarah replied excitedly. “Everyone here knows you, and they’re so friendly!”“Yeah, but be careful; not everyone is like that,” Melissa began to worry.“My parents warned me, especially about David Souza.” Sarah became alert. “He... there was news on the Internet that he’s in jail...”Melissa smiled mockingly. “Sad ending for someone who insists on being a pain in the neck, don’t you agree?”“Oh, yes, I agree...” Sarah quickly nodded. Something inside her told her to agree if she didn’t want to get into trouble.Kelvin approached them. “Good morning, madames!”“Kelvin, I need to talk to you.” Melissa turned to him.“Let’s go to my office. Sarah, hold the calls or forward them to my wife.”“Yes, Mr. Mountain.”Kelvin and Melissa went to his office.Inside, Melissa asked, “Is Sarah doing well?
Chapter 3214 Something from the Past to Use in the Future
Daryl met with Sofia, Suzy, and William in Sofia’s office. Sofia was still smiling and occasionally shot ironic glances at Suzy.“Guys, João Paulo wants to interview Vaztrans, just as I predicted,” Daryl announced. “As we can see, this company’s good performance has not gone unnoticed by the general public.”“Oh, damn...” Suzy muttered under her breath.“Why are you complaining, Suzy?” Sofia asked provocatively.“We have a bad history with that guy,” Suzy said louder. “Can’t we ask another journalist to come here?”“Knowing João Paulo, he’ll come,” William replied, also a bit apprehensive. “Which one of us is going to answer his questions?”Daryl shrugged. “Looks like I’m the only one who’s not on bad terms with him, right?”“Be careful, Daryl. João Paulo is more treacherous than his late father,” Sofia grumbled.Suzy decided to counterattack, “This is all because of the ‘Spanish Stallion’? Get over it, dear. Don’t go catatonic like your mother.”Sofia shot Suzy a furious look and did
Chapter 3213 Time to Think About the Future
Sofia and Suzy started arguing in the middle of the employees in the Vaztrans garage. “Suzy, don’t be stingy!” Sofia exclaimed. “After many years, our company finally had some financial breathing room. I want to celebrate this achievement by doing something nice for our hardworking employees.” “That’s right, Mrs. Campos Rocha!” The employees cheered. Suzy smiled maliciously. “I see your little game.” “What do you think I’m doing?” Sofia crossed her arms. “You’re staging a publicity stunt or trying to win the hearts of the employees. Well, that’s not going to happen!” “You...” Sofia held back the urge to slap Suzy but decided to take the high road. She turned to the drivers and conductors and shrugged. “I tried.” Sofia made a strategic retreat, leaving Suzy alone in front of disappointed employees. “Hey, wait...!” Suzy felt she was about to be lynched and ran out of the garage. The employees booed and cursed her without mercy. ****** At João Paulo’s house, he was sitting in
Chapter 3212 Can We Give a Raise?
Reynaldo and Leonardo were talking in the former’s office, tension and anxiety taking over their voices and expressions. “So you mean the idiot knows everything?” Leonardo asked illogically. “If J.J. discovered our plan, then he’s not an idiot, man.” Reynaldo corrected him. “You understood what I meant!” Leonardo gestured. “And now? What are we going to do?” “Most likely, Josias Rocha knows too.” Reynaldo sighed, discouraged. “As our father said, we need to wait for the dust to settle before we act again.” “We need to make you the majority partner.” Leonardo asserted. “Leo, sometimes I’d prefer if you stayed out of this.” Reynaldo admitted from the bottom of his heart. “You have a career as a lawyer that precedes you. If things get worse, if you’re exposed, not only would you be fired from Damascene Lawyers – no agency would have the guts to hire you.” Leonardo smiled and patted his brother’s right shoulder. “Don’t worry about me. Avenging our father is more important than anyt
Chapter 3211 Sofia Is Innocent
At Vasconcelos Fabrics, the biggest and most controversial conversation J.J. had ever had in his life was taking place. If he saw himself acting all tough and wild with Reynaldo, he wouldn’t recognize himself. Footsteps echoed down the hallway toward the office. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, man!” Reynaldo mustered the courage, hoping someone would come to save him. “Okay, it’s understandable that you don’t want to produce evidence against yourself.” J.J. smiled ironically. The office door opened, and Leonardo appeared. “Is something going on here?” “Hello, big brother!” J.J. continued in an ironic tone. “The coincidence of you showing up here is almost timed!” “Have you been drinking?” Leonardo frowned, and then looked at a terrified Reynaldo. “J.J. isn’t feeling well; it’s best to leave him alone.” Reynaldo’s expression told Leonardo what was really happening. “Alright, I need to talk to you about some matters. Have a good day, J.J.” Leonardo, in an attorney’s po
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
