Building My Life Chapter 1786 Josias to the Attack
The secretary who occupied Pamela's post smiles when she recognizes the visitor, “You must be Josias Rocha, correct?”“Yes. Did you recognize me, miss?”“I'm not a miss anymore, thank goodness.” The secretary holds out her hand showing a wedding ring, then gestures to a framed picture on her desk. The portrait showed her, an extremely handsome and burly guy and two children, a boy and a girl who is the secretary's spitting image. Everyone was having fun on the beach.“That means your boss leaves you alone.” Josias jokes.The secretary laughs, amused, “I'll call him.” She picks up the phone and dials an extension, “Sir, Mr. Rocha came as scheduled... OK.” She hangs up, “Go through, sir.”“Thanks.” Josias nods and opens the office's varnished double doors......and finds Miguel Damascene.Miguel gets up and extends a manly hand to shake Josias’s hand. Josias always feels smaller compared to this big man.“Josias! What a pleasure to see you! How are things?”“They’re not doing very well,

“We need to focus on supporting our mom's next book signing.” Wallace determines.“For sure. All on account of Marçal Publishing. Hopefully, Vernon Queiroz will help us with the publicity.” Uélton, again, wants to scratch his head, but he scratches his orange helmet.“Mother told me how you and he fought in the early 90s. Just you, huh, Uélton.” Wallace laughs again.Uélton shrugs. At the time, it was a matter of honor to defend the dear wife from Elza and Elisa's attacks. But now, Elisa was far away, and Elza regenerated.******At Damascene Lawyers, the conversation between Josias and Miguel continues.Miguel has his chin resting on one hand, and his elbow resting on the desk. His expression is one of someone who wants to understand the subject deeply.“Josias, for me to defend you, I need to know all the details. You can count on my discretion.”“Are we going to have a doctor-patient style trust relationship?” Josias asks jokingly.“We can say that.” Miguel narrows his eyes, “Did y

Josias appears at Rocha Constructions, coming from Damascene Lawyers, calmer and more confident. Pollyanna is impacted by his aura.“Good morning, Mr. Rocha.”“Pollyanna, please, pour me a nice cup of coffee.”“Immediately, boss.” She gets up and obediently goes to the kitchen.Josias is nearly dancing to the office. Upon opening the door, he finds Tiago and Octavio anxiously waiting for him.“Wow! What was there? I didn't know we had a meeting.”“Master,” Tiago greets him, “we want to know how you did at the meeting.”Josias widens his smile, “You know you're going to help us? The same Miguel Damascene!”“The pervert who banged Pamela Chaves in the workplace and got her pregnant?” Octavio puts the situation in this controversial light.Josias breaks the smile, “Don't talk like that, Octavio. Remember that Pamela liked to cheat on Beto with Miguel and then tried to say that Little Theo was his son. The nerve of naming him after his grandfather... anyway, the good news is that he will

Following day. Miguel shows up at Ivan Moraes's office to find out what's going on in the sergeant's head.“Good morning, I hope I'm talking to the famous Sergeant Moraes.”Ivan smiles, his ego inflated, “And since when am I famous?”“Since you are mixing two cases into one,” Miguel smirks and closes the door.Ivan's smile fades like a flower, “You are Mr. Vasconcelos’s attorney?”“No, I’m Mr. Rocha’s attorney. And the fact that you mentioned the miscreant in the first place says a lot about you.” Miguel pulls up a chair to sit down.“Come on, sir, my time is precious—”“Miguel Damascene.”The surname Damascene made the sergeant shut up instantly and break into a cold sweat, “Josias Rocha doesn’t play to lose, huh?”“Sergeant Moraes, my client has every reason to file a lawsuit against the police station.” Miguel smiles like a spider about to capture a fly with its web, “A guy was accused and arrested for having a prostitution ring and using a textile company as a front, but after he

Meanwhile, in Francisco's apartment, he is also being probed by his children about a possible marriage.“Hey, little sister,” Rodrigo comments jokingly, “Are you aware that my father is winning the heart of the widow Freire?”Francisco has an expression of displeasure, “Isn't there a better way to call her, son? ‘Widow Freire’ is so morbid!”Veronica mockingly opines, “Believe me, Dad, it's better than calling her ‘Merry Widow’.”Francisco can't stay angry with his children, so he decides to explain, “Guys, I'm not embarking on a romantic relationship with Isabel Freire.”“Why not?” Rodrigo and Veronica ask at the same time.Francisco is startled. Looks like they already approved dating before it even existed!“I haven't asked her out yet.” Francisco takes a sip of coffee, “Actually, we barely have the intimacy for that.”“That's because you wasted precious time in your life lusting after our aunt.” Veronica speaks with excitement despite the acidic words, “Now you can make up for the

Pollyanna brings two cups of coffee to be served in the presidential office. Katherine continues to be distressed by the arbitrary persecution that Ivan promotes over Josias.“Thanks, Polly.” She thanks him warmly and the secretary leaves, “Honey, we need to put an end to this. Will you have the heart for training in the Church today?”“Of course.” Josias smiles as he takes one of the cups, “We’re not gonna let such nonsense stop our marriage.”Katherine smiles more relieved, “OK, I'm counting on the honeymoon in Paris, not in the penitentiary.”“Everything will be all right, honey.” Josias takes a sip. Afterward, he glances at his wristwatch, “And if we want to go, now is the time.”“Let’s go, I’ll leave a message for everyone.” Katherine takes the lead, excited about wedding ceremony training.Josias still drinks a few more sips and decides to go after the fiancée, but Miguel enters next.“Hello, Josias. Good that I found you. Your fiancée is waiting in the hall.”“By your face, Mig

Ivan was about to leave to have a little chat with Renan, but when he opened his office door, Tobias was outside, ready to knock.“Mayor! What an honor to serve you in person!” Ivan greets him perhaps a little excitedly.Tobias doesn't let himself be carried away by flattery, “Moraes, we need to talk right now. Sit down.”“I was leaving on a mission—”“Forget this mission.” Tobias responds fiercely, “You won't get your promotion to lieutenant for tarnishing my friend Josias Rocha's reputation.”Ivan is stunned by this information. He decides to sit down in obedience to the mayor's command, “Mayor, you must decide which friend you are going to protect.”“How about protecting the friend who is innocent?” Tobias exclaims seriously, “When the evidence against Renan Vasconcelos comes into view, I can no longer support someone like that. However, I don't understand why the prosecution is delaying the trial. It’s in the interest of my citizens that the pimp kidnapper be arrested as soon as p

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

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
