Building My Life Chapter 1816 Wallace gets permission
Vera returns from the psychiatrist with renewed spirits. Teresa is listening to the radio.“And the information we have is that Mrs. Katherine Rocha left the police station flanked by Josias Rocha. The two refused to speak to the press. Ironically, Mrs. Rocha is responsible for Public Relations at Rocha Constructions, so we couldn't get any explanation. The Lagoon City Police Station also didn’t respond and asked reporters to leave. Now continue with our normal schedule.”The radio started playing “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart),” but Teresa and Vera weren't thrilled with the Backstreet Boys.“How absurd is all this, sister-in-law!” Vera slams her purse on the counter, “Will Josias Rocha ever find peace?”"I'm glad it's Katherine and not Melissa." Teresa opines, “Can you imagine a lady who gave birth to twins facing such a challenge?”Vera opens her purse and searches for a piece of paper, “I got the number of a male psychiatrist to help my Wally.”“Hope it all works out, my frien
Building My Life Chapter 1817 Unpopular Matter
The following week, the cover of Maggiezine was on another subject, but there was a lead for an inside article about Katherine's questioning at the police station. Readers went to the indicated page and revolted about the situation.As a result, countless citizens flooded police stations with letters of protest. At City Hall, the secretaries had their ears swollen from receiving so many curses and swear words.Tobias is in front of the Chief of the Police Station, a white-haired gentleman with a face expressing more than thirty years dedicated to the profession of serving and protecting.“Mayor...”“Chief Kleberg, you need to control that sergeant of yours, Ivan Moraes.” Tobias extends the Maggiezine open to the article page. A huge photo of Katherine being led away made the Chief blush, “This can't be repeated. An investigation has become a media circus and my constituents are blaming me.”“It's definitely not your fault, mayor.” Chief Kleberg clears his throat nervously.“Good thing

Jack and Octavio are clearing their throats and looking in every direction but their father's face. The shame is too much.Ronaldo seems to enjoy the children's embarrassment, "Come on, it's not such a difficult question."“Father, you are in a great hurry,” Octavio responds with nervous chuckles.“I'm not. It’s my life that is passing by.” Ronaldo says, “Maybe I won't have time to hug my grandchildren, but just knowing that you will have them is already a comfort for me.”“For that, it's better for us to get married before.” Jack jokingly states.“And what are you waiting for?” Ronaldo is excited like a child, “You've been just stalling since 1996. Later, your ladies will be the next to press you. No woman likes to be lied to.”Octavio states, “Dad, I need to get to know Jane even more.”“What else is there to know?” Ronaldo asserts, “Jane is beautiful, a good girl, decent, respectful, hardworking, responsible, dedicated... she’ll be the perfect mother of your children.”Octavio thro

At the police station, Chief Kleberg goes to Ivan's office to end his dream. The sergeant is disheveled, with dark circles under his eyes, clothes reeking of sweat, and an exclusive coffee pot on his desk. Ivan typed on the computer like a sleepwalker.“Ivan, stop right now with what you’re doing!” The Chief orders him, “For your mental and physical health!”Ivan stops typing and looks at his superior with a glassy gaze, “What does the Chief want?”Kleberg closes the door, “I received instructions from Mayor Tobias. You should stop this loan shark case immediately and focus on recent crimes. I won’t give you any promotion if you put Josias Rocha behind bars.”“It's not about getting promoted anymore, chief.” Ivan responds without emotion, “It's a matter of honor. I lost my wife to the cover of a biography and Josias Rocha will pay for it!”Kleberg would normally laugh at this, but he holds back from driving his underling to suicide, “I'm serious when I say you need to protect your men

Don't tell me you want another corpse!”“What are you talking about?” Josias asks, not sure he wants to know the answer.Tiago remains impassive, “Unfortunately, another death will be needed for us to finally have peace of mind.”“I DISAGREE!” Josias punches the desk, “Tiago, you're crazy! If someone dies, then indeed, we will be suspect # 01! I don't want to, I won't repeat the nightmare!”Tiago smiles macabrely, “Master, you don't need to stain your hands with blood. That's why your loyal servants are here. Igor is in the capital, but he still owes you loyalty.”Josias is wiggling frantically, “No, no, Tiago, that won't be necessary.

Uélton approaches her coming from work, showered, and wearing a woody perfume.He approaches from behind and kisses his wife's neck, causing her to almost drop one of the dishes, “Oops, honey! Careful, don't scare me.”“I didn't mean to scare you. I wanted to kiss you good evening!” Uélton reasons like a child.Flavia's uncertainty only grows and she blurts out without thinking, “Let's leave Reuben at the Rocha Mansion!”Uélton gets angry and grabs Flávia by the wrist, forcing her to turn around to face him, “Negative, my dear! Reuben will stay here at home with his dad! Why do we need to bother Josias at all?”“I thought he was your best friend...” Flávia tries to free herself while uttering this lame excuse.“No way.” Uélton scowls, “I want to spend more time with my puppy. Is this some crime?”“It's a crime when you're the same mental age as him!”

At Uélton's house, Reuben doesn't know what to say to his parents. He is confused by Flávia gesticulating hidden from her husband and Uélton with an assuring smile.“Ehr... I don't know.” The boy responds, “I wanted to go and see Rosemary and Pedro—“Flávia rudely cuts him off, “You can't, son, I already told you that you have school to go to!”Uélton holds out his arms, “Then it's settled. Let's stay home, just the two of us. It's going to be fun, sonny!”“Really?” Reuben starts to buy the idea, to Flávia's dismay.“Yes. Let's play video games, watch 'The Lion King', play video games, eat pizza at Campos Pizzeria, play video games, go to the beach, play video games...” Uélton scratches his chin, “Did I forget something?”“Play video games!” Reuben holds out his little arms, fully embracing the idea.“That’s it!” Uélton and Reuben embrace.Frustrated to the max, Flávia waves her hand and knocks over all the dishes and glasses on the table.

Where is Uélton, where is my grandson?”“I DON'T KNOW!” Flávia kicks the china shards, “They probably went for pizza at Campos Pizzeria!”“I’m waiting for the explanation.” Isabel crosses her arms. She already understands that her daughter-in-law is causing unnecessary drama.“Reuben, even with me gesturing him to refuse, has decided to stay here with his dad!” Flavia talks like it's the end of the world.But Isabel just takes a deep breath and goes after the broom, “Is that it?

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
