Building My Life Chapter 1744 Josias Is Told of the Truth
Later, after Beto returns from the bus station, he is in the office at the Teodoro building, conferring with Josias and Tiago.“Very well, gentlemen.” Josias takes the reins of the meeting, “Time to let me know exactly what's going on in town. Why was I not informed about the supposedly poisoned candies?”Beto responds, “Josias, I didn't want to bother you. You've been so busy with your company and the construction of the new headquarters... I needed to take control of the situation.”“I'm not saying you're incapable, Beto.” Josias clarifies, “I want to congratulate you for taking the initiative to protect your family.”“I know you always want to help.” Beto smiles, “The children are very fond of you, calling you Uncle.”“It must be because I was there from the birth of all of them,” Josias responds with a smile.“Anyway, Josias,” Tiago clears his throat, “There's something you need to know.”Josias stares at Tiago intently.“I had a private conversation with Renan Vasconcelos a while
Building My Life Chapter 1745 Distrusting the Host
A week later, Beto received the first letter from his children. He smiles and his eyes fill with tears.“So, dear, how are they?” Teresa approaches her beloved.They are in one of the living rooms of the Rocha Mansion as guests. Beto delights in the soft upholstery of the sofa.Beto responds, “They ate the expected chocolate cake, Grandpa Raymond welcomed them with hugs and kisses, Grandma Cristina and Seu Moacyr visited them too... and Mom Pamela is working as an executive secretary.”The last part of the letter left a bitter taste in Beto's mouth. He is certain that Pamela is actually her boss's lover and that her position as secretary is merely a cover.Teresa has the same feeling, “Well, the kids are at Grandpa’s house, right?”“Yes, they are re-meting Junior. The boy must be gigantic.” Beto scratches his chin, “Sixteen years old, older than Caio.”“Can I read the letter?”“Sure.” Beto passes the letter to his girlfriend.But when Teresa picks up the letter, she notices Beto's som
Building My Life Chapter 1746 The Love Nest?
At the Rocha Mansion, Teresa wants to know what Beto means by suspecting Josias.“Darling, you're not thinking of making up rumors and gossip about the man who saved our lives, are you?”“These aren’t rumors.” Beto responds frowning and slightly rude, “I overheard the conversation, and was present when they mentioned the loan shark.”“The loan shark?” Teresa is confused.“That guy who ordered to collect the debt from Josias’s father and the henchmen ended up killing him.” Beto responds, “Tiago Bento said that Renan Vasconcelos was the criminal's henchman, but when he was killed, Renan fled to Victoria... and now he's back as an industrialist.”Teresa also feels strange, “And this has to do with Josias?”“That's what I didn't understand... Mr. Bento also said that he recommended Secretary Ernesto to flee. As far as I knew, Ernesto and Lilian went to take care of her mother who had cancer. Was that then a lie?”“Ernesto also knows Renan Vasconcelos...?” Teresa covers her mouth with her
Building My Life Chapter 1747 A New Love for Isabel?
At Rocha Mansion, Katherine and Teresa sunbathe on lounge chairs by the pool. The sun is excellent, and maids serve them orangeade. Katherine is wearing sunglasses.Not far from them, a portable radio plays “Love Won't Wait” by Gary Barlow.Teresa asks, “What is happening in the 90s? Countless groups are breaking up. Did you know this singer was from Take That?”Katherine gasps, “No, impossible! What a horror, our adolescence is falling apart...”“Well, I collect the records they released as memorabilia.” Teresa smiles.“So, Tess, are you enjoying staying at the mansion? Josias nailed it when he built this place.”The mention of Josias makes Teresa remember the conversation she had with Beto. Would it be wise...?“Kate, what do you know about the loan shark?” Teresa asks without thinking.Katherine removes her sunglasses, “I don't want my face to be marked. Did you mention the moneylender, the evil one who killed my late father-in-law?”Teresa wiggles, “Believe me, my dear, nobody mis
Building My Life Chapter 1748 The Nightclub Owner
At the police station, Beto is arguing with Amoreira about the clowning going on at the police station. Both are in the detective's office.“Mr. Amoreira, how are the investigations into Renan Vasconcelos going?”“The sergeant stuck them in that place!” Amoreira barks, pounding on the desk piled high with copies of Maggiezine.Beto snorts, “There's no way, the madman will end up kidnapping and killing my dear sister. And the worst of all is that my life is also in danger when he thinks I am her lover!”Amoreira purses his lips in disgust, “I thought you were Miss Reis's brother.”“Of course we are siblings; so it indicates how much Mr. Vasconcelos is sick and retarded! He cannot live in a society! How did he manage to be an industrialist?”“According to what I read in Maggiezine, he took over the company built by their parents, who are now in their advanced age.”Beto tries to reconcile this information with what he knows, “So, he ran away from here after the loan shark died and took

Vera is sitting comfortably on the sofa while listening to the song “Cantare é d'Amore”, by Amedeo Minghi. Someone outside claps and she gets up to see who it is.Through the living room window, she smiles, “Beto! To what do I owe the honor of your visit?”“Sister, we need to talk urgently. It's time you knew some truths.”Vera worries and hurriedly opens the door for Beto, “Get in quick, bro. I don't want Renan's spies to see you.”“Do you think they will dare to do so?” Beto enters and Vera closes the door.“You never know with these freaks. So what's the big news?"Beto takes a deep breath. He's sweaty and his face shows big brother's concern, “I just came from the police station. Do you know why Mr. Vasconcelos 'saved' you from the nightclub and you were never bothered again?"“Because the imbecile thought he was going to marry me,” Vera speaks with disdain.“It's more than that, Vera. Renan Vasconcelos owns the nightclub.”Vera is stunned to the extreme. What?******At the polic

At Simeon's house, Vera turns off the radio so she can talk better with Beto.“Beto, please, don't lie to me...” She's shocked, she doesn't know where to turn.Beto leads Vera to the sofa as if she were an elderly woman, “Sit here, little sis. I know this comes as a shock to you, but unfortunately, that was the result of the Amoreira investigation.”“At least some law enforcement official decided to do something.” Vera says ironically, “For a moment I thought Renan was above the law.”“We're going to defeat this guy, Vera, and everything will go back to normal. After all, it ties in with some of the stuff I've heard. For example, while Renan was staying at the Rocha Hotel, there was an unusual influx of prostitutes.”“You think he owns a prostitution ring and I was part of it without knowing it?”Beto crosses his arms, “Vera, how did you get into this mess?”“I read the wanted ads and found the ad looking for a nightclub employee,” Vera answers simply.Beto narrows his eyes, “Just tha

At Crystal Blue, the discussion continues between Renan and the Mountain brothers.Renan looks at the table kicked by Renan, “Poor table, Mr. Mountain.”“Don't worry about it. I kicked the table thinking I'd kick your head!” Kelvin blusters.“Should I take that as a threat?”Daryl walks over and tries to lead the freak out, “Mr. Vasconcelos, there is not the slightest reason for you to stay here. Please, leave.”“I just wanted to know how Melissa is doing!” Renan feels entitled to feel misunderstood, “Why do you think I want to hurt her?”“Because you insist on being around her when she doesn't want you,” Daryl responds sagely.“When she gets to know me better—”Kelvin can't take it anymore and punches the businessman, knocking him out.“KELVIN!” Daryl scolds him.“Looks like this asshole only understands this language, Daryl!” Kelvin exclaims, “We've been asking him to leave for ages, but he won't!”Renan wakes up from the temporary stupor and massages his sore chin, “Ouch... now the

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
