Building My Life Chapter 1771 Why Does It Have to Be You?
At the police station, Amoreira is enjoying another issue of Maggiezine while propping his feet up on his desk. Ivan enters the office and finds it strange to spot the detective like that.“What is this, Amoreira? Are you following the episode's summary of 'Sweet Love'?”Amoreira is not offended and straightens up in his chair, “Well, if I can't follow the program live, I have to resort to the summaries. But that's not just why I have fun with the magazine.”Ivan shoots the detective a suspicious gaze, “OK, if you say so... I need you to get busy with a case.”“What happened?” Amoreira is even more interested.“Renan Vasconcelos drew attention to the fact that Josias Rocha was greatly benefited by the death of loan shark José Augusto Rios, in 1984. Somehow he insinuated that Josias was not the only beneficiary...”Amoreira revolts, “Are you saying that the bandit accused Mr. Rocha of taking justice into his own hands?”“That's basically it,” Ivan responds cautiously.“This is nonsense
Building My Life Chapter 1772 Permission from Big Brother
Wallace visits the Teodoro building. Vera and Teresa meet in the lobby with the radio playing “Sunday Morning” by No Doubt.“WALLY!” Vera drops the broom and hugs her... friend? Boyfriend? Ex-husband?Teresa smiles when she sees her future sister-in-law all joyful, “Ah, that’s love...”Vera breaks the hug, fearing that Wallace will be enraged by the scandalous gesture, but Wallace was smiling, “Looks like I've gained a fan.”“Oh, you modest one.” Vera laughs and smooths her hand over Wallace's chest, hard as marble, “If you pose in Maggiezine with your shirt off, the ladies go crazy. Wally, you're too hot, always remember that!”Wallace laughs, still feeling unworthy of so much female admiration, “Don't overdo it, Vera. Anyway, how was your day?”“I faced the devil in jail,” Vera responds firmly.The answer displeased Wallace, “Vera, why did you provoke Renan Vasconcelos? If he gets out of jail, he’ll go straight after you to get revenge!”“And you will allow it?” Vera asks sweetly.“
Building My Life Chapter 1773 As Hunk as Josias
The next day, Katherine arrived at Rocha Constructions early and went directly to Tiago's office. But the finance director wasn't there.Determined, she went to the kitchen and found Tiago sipping a cup of coffee.“TIAGO!” She exclaims, making the poor guy choke on his sip.“Cough, cough!” Tiago almost drops the cup, but he manages to put it down on the table, “Phew! What is it, Kate? Do you want to scare me to death?”“The only thing I want to kill is my curiosity.” Katherine closes the door, “Can you tell me what Josias has so important to hide about the death of José Augusto Rios, also known as ‘the loan shark’?”Tiago is shocked and white as Michael Jackson. How did his master's fiancée find out about this matter?******At Uélton's house, Wallace met with the whole family at breakfast to announce that he is going to have a romantic relationship with Vera Reis. Everyone is curious.Isabel encourages him, “We're all here, son. Tell us the good news.”“Guys, please, I want you to un
Building My Life Chapter 1774 Million Dollar Question
Kelvin decides to pop into the living room to cut the meaningless chatter off, “Hello, ladies! Did I hear the last sentence correctly?”Melissa gives a reserved laugh while Dora laughs more uproariously, “Oh, Kelvin, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you jealous.”Kelvin shakes his head, “It's not that, Dora. I just thought it was strange that you wanted to involve my few-months son in spicy matters.”Melissa tries to patch it up, “Honey, we were just wondering about our babies’ future. For example, Mary will work at Maggiezine, but will she be the editor-in-chief? I think so.”“I don't think Caroline will have a problem with that,” Kelvin responds seriously, sitting in the armchair like a king.“And as for Ignacio, we just wonder if he will inherit his father's good looks.” Melissa stares at Dora pleadingly.Dora got the message, “That's right, it was no big deal.”Kelvin smiles slightly, but he's pretty sure the ladies mentioned 'Josias', “My son came from the womb of the most beauti
Building My Life Chapter 1775 Let's Avoid Misunderstandings
Tiago turns on his heel and faces a curious Katherine who doesn't intend to let the subject drop. And now?“Young madam, please, do not ask questions I cannot answer.”Katherine smiles, smug, “Your reluctance has already answered me.”“Hey, don’t go out there—”“And who said I'm going to the police station to report my darling?” Katherine asks passionately, “You don't seem to know me, Tiago. I love Josias Rocha! If he killed the moneylender, surely it was because he deserved it. It just pisses me off that he doesn't trust me.”“This is definitely not a matter for the young madam.”Katherine rolls her eyes. Tiago is looking like her butler and not the company's CFO.“I just want you to know that the secret is safe with me.” Katherine nods, “Now I need to take care of this company’s image.”“Thou shalt do well to keep thy promise.” Tiago warns her, “No one will do business with us if they find out.”“On the contrary.” Katherine jokes in the doorway, “We'll double the number of contracts
Building My Life Chapter 1776 Trying to Dig More
Ivan approaches the cell where Renan is. The businessman is intrigued by Josias's proposal.“Even if he buys me my share of Vasconcelos Fabrics, what good is the money if I'm in jail?”“It shall serve to pay your bail,” Ivan responds with sarcasm.“Sergeant!” Ivan is astonished, “I want to take advantage of this and ban Josias Rocha from entering. He is not my friend or family to be visiting.”Ivan smirks, “Yeah, I know... I was also surprised by the presence of someone who claims to have no connection with you.”Ivan tries one more time, “Mr. Vasconcelos, are you sure that—”Renan vomits violently, “How many times do I have to repeat it? Yes, Josias Rocha killed loan shark José Augusto Rios, but somehow, he came out as the hero of the story! I thought taking the law into one's own hands was wrong.”Ivan holds the bars and, with a frown, digs deeper, “And how are you so sure, Mr. Vasconcelos? You seem to have personal knowledge of the subject. Was the moneylender, by any chance, your

A week later, Wallace and Vera go together to the Lagoon City Cemetery to pay their respects to their parents. Wallace's walkman was playing “Gone Away” by The Offspring.When Vera approached Teodoro's tombstone, she began to cry desperately, unable to bear the guilt and shame, “I'm sorry, father, I'm sorry! I killed you, I killed you! I told you that Wally raped me, but that's not true! Please, father, forgive me, forgive your slutty, promiscuous daughter!”Wallace tightly hugged his girlfriend, keeping quiet, letting her vent what was stuck in her throat and her core.Josias approaches and finds the grieving couple, “Glad I found you.”Wallace turns to him, “Josias, what are you doing here?”“I think the same as you.” Josias smiles slightly, “Uélton called me and said you would come here.”“Oh, my little bro can’t hold his tongue.” Wallace chuckles while Vera sniffs.Josias puts his hand on her shoulder, “Vera, don't worry. Your father is certainly aware of your grief. The last thin
Building My Life Chapter 1778 Bitter Letter
At Rocha Constructions, Tiago is working at his desk, looking over the company's finances. Around him, two assistants help him with planning and detecting unnecessary expenses.His desk phone rings and he answers it, “Hello?”On the other side, a desperate Amoreira yells, “Hello, Mr. Bento? This is Detective Amoreira.”“Hello, Amoreira. What tone of despair is that?”“I have every reason in the world to be desperate.” Amoreira says in one breath, “They freed Renan Vasconcelos again!”“What did you say?” Tiago rises as if propelled by springs, “Who ordered this wretch to be freed from his sins?”“Ironically, it was the money that Josias Rocha used to pay for Vasconcelos Fabrics,” Amoreira reports as if he still didn’t believe in the terrible coincidence.“Don't the parents know they have a child who is a pimp and promoter of violation?” Tiago asks sourly.“I think they know, but they defend their son all the same.” Amoreira shakes his head, “That's the only explanation that comes to mi

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

Chapter 3144 Benjamin Requests a Transfer
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

Chapter 3143 Return
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

Chapter 3141 Respect the Mourning
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
