Building My Life Chapter 1876 Knocked Out of the Guest List
“Hey sir, you were not allowed in!” Pollyanna complains.Josias and Octavio hear the secretary's indignant voice and turn to the door after breaking the hug.Daryl is walking in and gives Pollyanna a sh*t, “Josias, will you please tell the secretary that I’m entitled to enter?”Octavio doesn't like the interruption, “It's not like that, my friend...”Josias thinks Daryl = Melissa and gestures to Octavio, “Okay, Pollyanna. Mr. Mountain can enter.”Pollyanna adopts an apologetic stance, “Oh, I didn't know he was Melissa's family. Excuse me.”“She is my sister-in-law,” Daryl responds dryly.Pollyanna hastily leaves, closing the door. Josias goes to the drinks table and starts pouring, “A drink?”Daryl smiles slightly, “I won't refuse.”“How can I help you, Daryl? Got a problem with Melissa?”Daryl doesn't like that Josias was soon asking about Melissa, but he fears running out of drink and hides his real feelings from him. Taking a few sips, he responds, “It's practically her. Josias, so
Building My Life Chapter 1877 J.J., Heir?
A few days passed. Ronaldo notices his children eating breakfast in silence. Weird silence.“OK, can someone tell me what's going on?” He asks seriously, “Any fiancées give up the double wedding?”“There was no withdrawal, but a removal,” Octavio responds while munching on his bread and butter.“What do you mean, removal?” Ronaldo leans forward.“We won't have the Mountain family at the wedding. Maybe we can keep Kelvin and Mrs. Marçal, but...” Octavio shakes his head in displeasure.“Is Daryl Mountain out?” Jack is amazed, “Bro, Veronica is his cousin. How are we going to explain this?”“I don't want him at the wedding!” Octavio rages, “He's plotting and sowing discord while pretending to be Josias's friend. He's imitating his mother's footsteps!”Ronaldo reacts in displeasure and forgets the tofu he had in front of him, “How unpleasant. That woman is far away, to the delight of all of us. She wasn’t invited.”“Don't worry, father.” Jack wipes his mouth with a napkin, “We promise you
Building My Life Chapter 1878 Josias Disciplines Katherine
Katherine is scared when she sees Josias's negative reaction. Where is the error?“Honey, did I say something silly?” Katherine tries to watch her son swim with the instructor's support instead of facing her husband's glare.“The instructor is handsome and tanned, don't you think?” Josias growls.Katherine is relieved and amused, “Oh honey, are you jealous of the swimming instructor? I don't deny that he's muscular and attractive, but you know I'll always have eyes for you. I will do anything to keep the family together.”Josias smirks at Katherine's statement, “OK, so I'm gonna take the opportunity to question you: were you the one who started spreading the word that Alan would be removed from the position of president of Rocha Constructions?”Katherine returns to panic and fear. She decides to enter the mansion so as not to argue in front of her son and the handsome instructor, “Honey, I don't know what you're talking about.”“How did Daryl Mountain find out about this?” Josias insi

In the Mountain Penthouse, Melissa stops Alan from withdrawing before making amends with Reuben.Reuben gestures, “Hey, Alan, let's get back to being pals. It used to be so good...”But Alan has murderous intent in his gaze, “You will never touch my sister, you perv!”“ALAN!” Melissa grabs his shirt sleeve, “Apologize to your friend NOW!”Isabel shakes her head and stands up, “It's no use, Melissa. Your child is not ready yet. We'd better come back another day.”“NEVER COME BACK!” Alan yells, “I don't want to be friends with this clown! I don't need a klutz in my future company!”Wallace is indignant, “Alan, remember that Uélton was an excellent electrician and head of the team. We never had problems with short circuits or anything like that in clients' homes.”“That was pure LUCK!” Alan blusters, “My dad can count on it, but I can't!”Reuben continues to stare at his friend without understanding anything. Why is Alan so nervous?Fearing that her grandson will have irreparable trauma,
Building My Life Chapter 1880 Josias Commands, Commoners Obey
At Crystal Blue, Daryl is still in disbelief at the information that he has been turned down for the upcoming wedding.Diane, however, wastes no time in scolding him, “I told you so, I told you so! Stop behaving like my mother-in-law, but you insisted on meddling where you didn't belong! Now you have displeased Josias Rocha!”Daryl has red eyes, “Don't say that, wife! It was the Motta family who was disgusted with me. Josias Rocha still respects me, and I hope it stays that way. But our cousin Veronica is going to marry one of the Mottas, we can’t stay out!”Kelvin came from the office, scowling, “Can't we stay out of what?”Daryl responds with some embarrassment, “Little brother, they want to leave us out of Veronica's wedding. Jack Motta's father came here almost having a heart attack and gave me the news.”“How?” Kelvin widens his eyes, “We can't stay out! And Melissa?”Francisco enters and finds his nephews already discussing the matter, “Hello, everyone. We need to talk about thi
Building My Life Chapter 1881 Double Marriage
The double wedding between the Motta brothers arrived.The entire Lagoon City was curious about how something like this would occur. Would one pair of bride and groom get married first and then the other, or would both couples be at the altar together?Those who weren't invited, it was left to resort to LCN by Vernon and Maggiezine by Maggie.But Maggie herself wouldn't be busy with her magazine staff, as she was also selected to be maid of honor.Ronaldo was at the entrance of the famous Church of Green Park receiving the guests. But his gaze hardened to something in the distance.Daryl and Diane were approaching and walking up the steps. Daryl was confident in her navy blue tuxedo while Diane was smiling and exuberant in her long, draped gown of the same color.“Mr. Mountain, welcome.” The greeting from the groom's father was not sincere.Daryl shook the old man's hand ironically, “Mr. Motta, let's forget about that incident and have fun. We know that an order from Josias Rocha shou
Building My Life Chapter 1882 The Sensational Couple of the Party
Some thought not, but yes, there was room for two engaged couples to be at the altar.Women began to wear their handkerchiefs discreetly. Jane and Veronica were barely contained in happiness. Jack and Octavio looked at each other from time to time and smiled as the priest delivered the nuptial speech.Daryl had the strangest feeling that Josias was looking at Melissa too much. Was he winking at his sister-in-law? And Melissa... Was she reciprocating?The viewers of 'Sweet Love' followed the live transmission made on Lisandro's Show. Some wondered why Jack and Veronica weren't the soap opera's super couple. In the plot, Veronica was paired with another actor because Jack joined later.But Daniel, who was also in the Church as a guest, had other thoughts...The priest asked the 'do you accept' questions separately; first to Octavio and Jane, then to Jack and Veronica.Both said ‘I do’ and no one spoke to the ‘forever hold your peace’ part.“With the power vested in me, I now pronounce y
Building My Life Chapter 1883 Wedding and Farewell
Alan is taken aback when his father informs him that he is moving into Rocha Mansion. Nobody thought to ask if he wanted this?“Father, why do you want to separate me from my family?” Alan asks sharply.“Hey, I thought I was your family too, your father!” Josias replies between giggles.“This is not funny!” Alan scowls, the same as hours ago, “Caroline needs me.”Caroline approaches everyone. Reuben's dress pants are all dirty from tripping over the flower arrangement so many times.“Hello, Aunt Melissa. Your daughter is delivered.” Reuben acts like a 19th-century gentleman, “Hello, Uncle Josias.”“And me, won't you say hello?” Alan asks sourly.“For what?” Reuben calmly retorts, “Don't you want to be my friend anymore? Thy will be done!”Reuben turns on his heel and leaves. Isabel watches her grandson from afar and smiles, understanding that he did well in the confrontation.Josias is satisfied with Reuben, “He is the exact copy of Uélton.

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
