Building My Life Chapter 1673 Kind of Unexpected Visit
Wednesday. William and Caio are getting ready, the father going to work, and the son going to school.“Today will be my last day at the warehouse, son.” William excitedly announces, “I’ll resign to start building our store.”“Have you decided whether to be an ice cream parlor or a pizzeria?” Caio asks as he puts on his sneakers.“Which do you prefer?” William turns on the radio and Andrea Bocelli's song “Vivo Per Lei” fills the living room.“How chic we are with Italian music.” Caio jokes, “I prefer pizzeria.”“We would have to hire a pizza maker. And the store will always be open at night.” William warns him.“Great, so I can help you,” Caio assures him with a smile.Someone knocks on the door. Caio smiles in anticipation.“Who will be?” William opens the door and immediately wants to close it in Josias's face, “NO! GET OUT!”Josias holds the doorjamb masterfully, “Don't insult me, William!”“GET OUTTA HERE, DAMN IT, NO ONE CALLED YOU!”Caio gets up, “Actually, father, I was the one
Building My Life Chapter 1674 We Have Job Openings
William turns off the radio angrily and doesn't know whether to beat Caio for calling out to his enemy.“Caio, why and what did you call Josias, eh? By what authority, who allowed you to step over me, challenge me in such an outrageous way—”Josias cuts the melodrama, “Stop it, what an endless sentence! Will, Caio wants the best for you.”“GET OUT, you're in my house! I don’t step foot in that damn mansion.”Josias, like any businessman, doesn't want to waste time, “William, Caio came to me wanting your business to be built by Rocha Constructions. I feel kind of offended that YOU didn’t come to me.”William's eyes are bloodshot, “You mean I'm obligated to hire you, you worm?”“In a way, yes. Like it or not, I was married to your sister and you have two nephews. Caio is also my nephew, we are all from the same family!”“Cut that talk!”“And I won't even go into details about the fact that Rocha Constructions is the best civil construction company. In three months your pizzeria or ice c
Building My Life Chapter 1675 Wrongdoings at the Rocha Hotel
Caio is flattered when Josias says he deserves to work at Rocha Constructions.“Thank you, Uncle Josias, but I prefer to work with my father.”“Well done, you idiot!” William cheers, thinking that Caio has offended Josias.But neither Caio meant to offend, nor did Josias feel offended.Josias declares, “I'll send you the quote, William. And don't even think about turning it down.”“OF COURSE I’LL REFUSE!”Josias breaks his smile, “If you refuse, I will take steps to ruin your business. Don't you want to leave a legacy for Caio? The Bento brothers remain loyal to me.”“DAMN YOU!” William screams at the top of his lungs.“That's what I thought. Bye, Caio, keep studying to be someone in life.”Josias withdraws, ever mighty and sovereign. William punches the bookcase, nearly knocking the radio over.“Dad, calm down! What can Tiago Bento do wrong?”William doesn't respond. He just imagines Tiago and Igor setting fire to the pizzeria with him and the customers still inside, screaming and ch

William is saying goodbye to Beto in his office at the Ramos supermarket. Beto's portable radio is playing "Walking Contradiction" by Green Day.“Yes, it's a huge contradiction.” William whimpers as usual, “I'll have my pizzeria built by my worst enemy.”Beto purses his lips, then opines, “Will, does the situation between you and Josias have to be that traumatic? There was a time when you were friends.”“Yes, when he was married to my sister and respected her.” William grumbles, “From the moment the marriage ended because of him, I hated him again. And since Caio doesn't stand a chance at Rocha Constructions, I'll leave the pizzeria to him when I die.”“Stop talking about death ‘cause you're far from going through it.” Beto laughs.“Only forty more years, who knows.” William calms down, “Okay, Beto, it was a pleasure working here, but I have to leave.”“I'm also saying goodbye.” Beto looks around, “Now more than ever I need to keep an eye on my father's building.”“Did something unfor

Josias is now talking to Elza and Vernon in her office about their interesting visit.“The guy seems to be my opponent.” Josias reports to them, “He is everything people say I am, except that his features are Caucasian.”Elza is trembling with fear, “My dear son, stay away from this man! I couldn't even sleep at night, afraid you were going to be murdered.”Josias hugs his mother, “Don't worry, mother. My father's fate will not repeat itself with me.”Vernon asks, “So can I do a feature on him and his sexual deviance?”Josias breaks the hug and nods to Vernon, “No, Dad, we shouldn't scare him.”“Besides, we don't even know what he's really doing here.” Elsa sighs.“But that's what I'm here for as a journalist!” Vernon insists on offering himself.Jane enters the office with a glass of water and calming pills, “Here, ma'am.”“Thank you very much, Jane.” Elza drinks two pills with the water, “How did your dating with Mr. Motta do yesterday?”Jane blushes to the roots of her hair, “We ju

Vera is cleaning the lobby in a standard black cleaning lady's uniform that looks ridiculous and misshapen. Tenants walk past her and giggle sarcastically. Michael Jackson's song “Stranger in Moscow” is supposed to calm her down, but Vera snorts with rage every time she sweeps the floor.“At least I'm still in my dad's building.” Vera tries to concentrate, “And one of these days, I'll see Wally walk through that door!”Deluded, Vera smiles and approaches the counter to sweep. The newspaper Teresa had left was open.Vera glances at the open page and her dreamy smile melts like a flower.A photo of Renan Vasconcelos in the company of Tobias Ibrahim left her wide-eyed. The journalistic article was about Tobias being elected mayor, but Vera doesn't take her eyes off the businessman.“Oh, heavens, it can't be! I need Wally to protect me!”On impulse, Vera crumples up the newspaper and throws it in the trash can. A girl enters the lobby and observes the desperate gesture of the cleaning lad

He flips through the politics section and finds the photo.The news item reads, “Lagoon City mayoral candidate Tobias Ibrahim welcomed industrialist Renan Vasconcelos to talk about his support for the candidacy.

Rumors circulate that Mr. Vasconcelos intends to open one of its factories in the city if Tobias Ibrahim wins the election.”“Something wrong with that, sir?” Ernesto asks when he sees Josias's somber face.Josias folds the newspaper and hands it back to the secretary, “No. Apparently, everything is back to normal.

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.

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

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

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
