A few more days passed. Brazil was shocked by the sudden death of Princess Diana in Paris, precisely where Simeon and Dora were.The version of the song “Candle in the Wind” by Elton John made especially to honor the Princess of Wales was played on Brazilian radio stations.Melissa rested on the Mountain Penthouse and followed the accident investigations in the newspapers. Meanwhile, the twins slept peacefully in their cribs in the room that had once been Caroline's.Kelvin comments, “My, Diane must be doubly sad. She joked about the coincidence of names.”“Very sad, Princess Diana has always been an example of a lady to be followed.” Melissa hands him the newspaper, “And how are our kids?”“They are well.”The landline phone rings. In the living room, Maggie was present and answered, “Hello?”Across the way, in a hotel suite, Simeon was at the mouthpiece while Dora hurriedly packed her bags, “Hello, who's this?”“This is Maggie Marçal.”“Hello, Maggie, this is Simeon Campos.

Josias enters Rocha Constructions and is applauded once again by Alfred, Pollyanna, and Octavio.“Hey, what's going on here? Again, celebration?”Octavio holds out today's paper, “Didn't you hear? The article unraveling the dark past of Renan Vasconcelos was published by Mr. Queiroz!”Josias picks up the newspaper with some apprehension. But later he calms down when he remembers that he hadn't told Vernon about Renan's connection with the loan shark.But was Vernon able to research on his own? “I'll read the story in my office. In the meantime, get back to work, we need to move this company.”“Yes sir!” Everyone exclaims excitedly.Josias goes to his office. Tiago was inside waiting for him to talk.“I'm going to read my father's article,” Josias warns him.Tiago smiles to reassure him, “Rest at ease, master. I already read the article. No mention of the loan shark.”Josias collapses in the presidential chair relieved, with a long sigh, “Phew! I thought I would have to explain myself

Vera returns from the police station with a relieved mind and soul. The confident countenance when entering the lobby of the Teodoro building infects Teresa and Beto.As part of the tradition, the lobby radio is playing “A Little Bit of Ecstasy” by Jocelyn Enriquez.“Little sister!” Beto exclaims and goes straight to hug his sister, “So, how was it?”“It was wonderful to vent and face past ghosts bro!” Vera exclaims excitedly.The embrace is broken.Teresa approaches her, “Welcome back, sister-in-law.”“So, what was it like living in the Rocha Mansion?” Vera curiously questions him.“Maggiezine didn't over-describe.” Beto responds, “The place is beautiful and refined. Josias deserves all that comfort after spending his youth hiding here in the favela wearing only sweatpants and R$5.00 in his pocket.”“I hope to be invited one day,” Vera comments as she breaks the hug.“The pool is a beauty.” Beto adds, “And I managed to swim naked the other night without Josias noticing.”“BETO!” Vera

The radio is playing “Stand By Me” by Oasis.Melissa announces to Alan and Caroline, “Children, Grandpa and Grandma are returning from Paris.”“Yay!” they exclaim.Caio is with them, “I hope my grandfather brings me a present. Maybe Grandma Dora managed to buy an exquisite perfume?”Melissa laughs, “Caio, you are very ambitious. With the money you are earning at the pizzeria, you can buy an international brand perfume for yourself.”“I hope, aunt.” Caio expresses hope.“That is, if the pizzeria doesn’t go bankrupt first,” Kelvin comments from his armchair.“Actually, Kelvin, with the article that came out in Maggiezine, the clientele increased at the pizzeria,” Caio informs him.Maggie smiles satisfied, “Ah, glad I helped.”“I want to help too, Aunt Maggie.” Caroline tugs at her blouse lightly.Maggie strokes her head, “When you're big, dear niece.

The next day, Josias is reading the daily newspaper in his private library in the Rocha Mansion. The Economics section is quite lively. And Josias is also excited: the more Brazil prospers, the more Rocha Constructions prospers together.The desk phone rings and he answers it, “Hello?”One of the employees who replaced Lilian informs him, “Sir, Sergeant Moraes from the police station wants to speak with you.”“OK, I'll take it.” Josias waits to hear Ivan's voice.“Good morning, Mr. Rocha!” Ivan is in a weird tone in Josias's opinion, “Ehr... hope I didn't wake you up.”“No, I can't afford to wake up late on weekdays,” Josias responds excitedly.“OK, good... Ehr... could you come over to the police station?”“Is it to talk about Renan Vasconcelos?” Josias tries to understand the sergeant's fear, “I don't know if I'll be much help.”“It was what Mr. Bento said.” Ivan hastily replies, “But it will be of great importance, sir.”“I already gave my statement regarding the crazy talk in the

Wallace is curious to know what Vera has decided to do with her life.“Wally, I've decided I'm going to get some professional help before we start a reliable relationship.” She responds with her head down.Wallace smiles, “But Vera... that's cause for rejoicing! I don't understand why you are sad as if it were something shameful.”“It's just that now you're gonna think I'm crazy, or you're gonna be afraid of triggering my traumas and moving away from me...”Wallace gently takes Vera's face and lifts it. She looks at him with teary eyes.“I won’t abandon you,” Wallace speaks in a serious yet romantic tone that melts Vera's heart.“My dear Wally...”“No more wasting time.” Wallace responds, “I was pretty dumb not to realize I was marrying a wonderful woman in 1985. Well, I'm not letting you escape again.”“But what about my treatment? It could take months... years...”“Take your time.” Wallace smiles slightly, “When the psychiatrist decides you are capable of marrying me, we’ll do it.”
Building My Life Chapter 1767 Love and Understanding
Josias is upset when he learns that Renan didn't want to sink in the high tide without dragging him along, the smart guy.He takes a deep breath and tries to defend himself as much as possible, “Sergeant Moraes, I need to locate myself in this story first. Renan Vasconcelos was detained for kidnapping and chasing Vera Reis and for maintaining an illegal establishment in the capital where numerous crimes took place. What does the death of the moneylender that occurred thirteen years ago have to do with this case?”Ivan checks the computer-printed sheets in Courier font, “Well... according to the detainee, you just helped the authorities to arrest him because of this incident. Mr. Vasconcelos would have said something about you being the mastermind of the crime.”Josias's heart races, but on the outside, he remains calm, “And how does Mr. Vasconcelos know that I had anything to do with it?”“Mr. Rocha, it's no secret to anyone here in Lagoon City that you were the victim of that loan sh

Josias is taken to Renan's provisional detention cell. When he finds him, his look is one of contempt and disgust.Renan was unshaven and his clothes were frayed and fetid with sweat. On the other side of the cell was another detainee for another crime that we will ignore for the moment.Renan smiles ironically when he sees Josias again, “Hey, you mean my denunciation paid off? They threw you to the joint, huh?”Josias turns up his nose, “I came here just to tell you that your ruse didn't work, pal!”Renan undoes the mocking smile, “What did you say?”“Prison didn’t affect your hearing.” Josias counters, this time it's his turn to smile, “You tried to drag me into the mud with you without explaining to the sergeant how you got involved in the loan shark's story. A failed attempt, my comrade.”Renan gets up, with a threatening face. If it weren't for the bars, there would have been a fight right then, “I was hoping you'd explain to the sergeant in my place.”Josias is surprised by 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?

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
