Building My Life Chapter 1777 House Arrest
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
Building My Life Chapter 1779 General Affliction
Josias enters Rocha Constructions headquarters only to find all of his employees in an uproar.Octavio speaks to him while Pollyanna is too distressed to formulate words.“Josias, did you hear the news on your car radio?”“No, I was busy with my own thoughts.” Josias maintains the charismatic smile, “Why is everyone desperate?”“It’s because we have bad news.” Octavio takes that dramatic break that always happens in telenovelas.But because of this pause, Katherine barges into the foyer and hugs her fiancé fervently, “Darling! Josias, you need to do something urgently! Why is it so hard to keep the industrial pervert behind bars?”Josias is indignant and the smile fades. Katherine backs away, waiting for his directive.Tiago also comes over, “Master, I am so sorry.”“Can someone tell me what happened?” Josias asks bitterly.“We received a call from Detective Amoreira.” Tiago begins to explain, “He found out firsthand that the pimp industrialist was released and will face trial on prov
Building My Life Chapter 1780 I Will Help
The next day, Josias met with Tiago and Octavio at his mansion. Katherine is serving breakfast instead of letting the maid do it.Josias raises an eyebrow, “Honey, don't think you'll be able to join the conversation.”“I don't think, I will.” Katherine sets the tray of bread and cheese and ham in front of him. J.J. starts laughing.“The matter is too dangerous for you.” Josias starts again. Yesterday he sweated to keep Katherine out of the presidential office.The maid who was supposed to serve breakfast appeared in the dining room, “Mr. Rocha, the gentlemen Bento and Motta appeared.”“Ask them to have coffee with us.” Josias gestures with a warm smile.But when the maid left, he returned to the serious face, “Honey, please, stay out of this matter.”Katherine, on the contrary, pulls up a chair and sits down, “I already know that you had the loan shark killed and I am on your side.”“I didn't kill the bastard!” Josias pummels the table, scaring J.J.“Are you going to behave like that
Building My Life Chapter 1781 Reanimating the Girlfriend
At the Rocha Mansion, Josias is forced to agree to Katherine's presence at the dinner table with Octavio and Tiago.Octavio asks, “How did you find out, Kate?”“I figured it out by intuition.” Katherine proudly responds, “Everyone refused to answer me, so silence was the answer I needed.”“Sweetheart, this is all very irregular—” Josias tries to warn her.But Tiago loses his temper, “Master, please, it's useless to stop the young madam.” He turns to Katherine, “I was the one who ordered the loan shark's death. Your fiancé doesn't have blood on his hands, but it was the moneylender or him.”“I prefer my darling a million times over.” Katherine responds passionately, “I can't imagine what would happen if the loan shark were still alive.”“He swears he didn't want to kill me, just collect my biological father's debt.” Josias comments sarcastically, “But I always refused to pay a debt that wasn't mine. I doubt that a violent guy full of henchmen would remain ‘peaceful’ and unpaid.”“Furth

Diane enters her husband's office and finds him watching a sheet being printed by the computer. She closes the door and finds his closed expression strange.“Are you printing out the financial report for the restaurant, dear?”“No.” Daryl responds dryly, “I'm printing out a rude letter to answer my mother's insult. If we have kids, she'll ask if you slept with another guy!”Diane shakes her head, “Impossible, my love. She doesn't know any other guys, and you were my first boyfriend.”“I know. And she knows it. But she will certainly dare. Before she bothers, I'm already answering.”The printer finishes the command and Diane pulls out the sheet to read, “Dear Mother: If you ask if my wife Diane got pregnant by another guy, she'll take your guesswork and stick it in the—”Diane turns pale at the typed curse word.

At Crystal Blue, noon service is being held. Kelvin is as usual in his post as maître d', much to the delight of the ladies.“I made a reservation for four.” A lady patron mischievously requests the reserved table by curling her hair with a finger and winking suggestively.“Table 05,” Kelvin responds curtly, not paying attention to the shameless customer's flirting. She gives up and is ushered in by the waiter with a sour face. Her three friends follow them, equally disappointed.Melissa enters the restaurant, and Kelvin's icy face instantly changes: a wide smile appears in seconds and the atmosphere around him seems to bloom like a garden.“Good morning, darling!” Kelvin greets her gallantly, making the previous patrons burn with envy, “Did you reserve a table?”“I'm going to drown my sorrows at the bar with Diane's cocktails!” Melissa responds coldly.“What happened?” Kelvin comes out from behind the counter, “Honey, when you're in trouble, look for your hubby and not a glass of whi

In the canteen at the Teodoro Building, Vera is confronted by Teresa over a controversial issue.She clears her throat and picks up the silverware she dropped, “Tess, why do you associate joy with making love?”“I don't know why, every woman who is loved in bed by a gentleman feels happier,” Teresa answers dreamily.Vera wrinkles her nose, “Do you speak from experience?”Teresa giggles, “Vera, I don't think it's a secret or surprise to you that your brother and I...”Vera quickly takes the utensils to the sink, “I know, I know, I don't need you to top it up. My brother always thought with his lower head.”“And what a head...” Teresa shakes her head, feeling like a harlot, “Ehr... let's change the subject. So Wally keeps treating you like a princess?”“Yes.” Vera smiles like a teenager and carelessly drops the kitchen utensils into the sink, “He doesn’t treat me like Renan’s customers.”“Ugh, skip this part.” Teresa makes a face.“I think the big issue is that Wallace, in a way, is sti

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

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
