Building My Life Chapter 1892 Indecency on the Beach
Later, Josias and Katherine return to the mansion. They find Simeon with his grandchildren in one of the living rooms. They had changed clothes and had a light tan.“J.J.!” Katherine exclaims, “My son, you are fine.”“Is that a question?” Simeon is confused.“No, Mr. Campos.” Katherine giggles, “I feared for my son's safety.”Alan says as if Katherine were insane, “Did you really think we were going to go to the beach alone? As soon as you left, I called Grandpa Simeon.”“And you acted very well, Alan.” Simeon pats his grandson on the head.Josias is happier to see Alan acting wisely. Katherine, however, continues to watch Alan as if she senses something... dangerous.“Daddy, I got a tan!” Caroline runs into her father's arms.“I see, little princess!” Even though she is nine years old, Josias continues to hold Caroline in his arms and kiss her on the cheek.Simeon gets up from the sofa, “Guys, I need to share something with you.”Alan smirks, already aware of what his grandfather is
Building My Life Chapter 1893 The Swimming Instructor Has To Be a Eunuch
The next day, Katherine is still arguing with Josias about Claudio's probable dismissal, something she never wants.Josias doesn't even have peace while taking a shower. The reckless wife opens the glass shower door with a bang, scaring her husband.“You're not going to fire Claudio, are you?”“KATE!” Josias instinctively covered himself with his hands as if they were both still single, “Get out, I'm bathing!”Katherine bites her bottom lip in lust, “There's nothing in there that I haven't seen. By the way, I saw it last night...”Josias scowls and closes the stall again, nearly breaking the door. Katherine takes a deep breath and counts to five.“You still haven't answered my question.”“What is there to answer?” Josias asks as he rinses the soap off his body.“Will Cláudio Guzman be fired because of what he does in his private life?” Katherine insists, “Honey, who are we to intrude on his privacy? He does what he wants when he's not teaching our son. It's not like he's doing drugs o
Building My Life Chapter 1894 Let's Not Meddle
In the Mountain Penthouse, Melissa is still waiting for them to respond about Katherine apparently getting hot for the swim instructor.Simeon gestures to the kitchen, “Let's see how breakfast is. The twins are still sleeping.”The three family members enter the kitchen. The coffee maker has finished making coffee and the bread smells in the oven.As Melissa is putting the options on the table, she asks again, “Can someone tell me what's going on here?”Simeon clears his throat, “It was just a feeling I had, Melissa. The swimming instructor Josias hired for J.J. doesn't have a decent personal life. Josias was displeased and wanted to fire him, but Kate was opposed tooth and nail.”Melissa smiles calmly, “Guys, let's not think naughty. Clearly, Kate is like this because she wants her son to have the best education possible. I think I should do the same with Caroline. Maybe I should hire someone to teach her how to play the piano?”“She wants to be a journalist at Maggiezine.” Dora remi
Building My Life Chapter 1895 Not Knowing What to Do
Simeon visits the pizzeria and finds Caio throwing away a copy of Maggiezine.“Hello, Caio. Have you... read this week’s issue?”“Grandpa Simeon, don’t beat around the bush.” Caio sighs, “My mother is the most promiscuous and depraved woman this world has ever conceived. I don't know how Seu Ray and Dª Cristina endure this humiliation.”“Maybe you should join the club.” Simeon tries to joke.“I don't even know what his name is.” Caio pulls up a chair and sits down, “I mean... I have another brother. Or 'half-brother'. Lately, I've only been using that term to refer to everyone, while everyone else just uses the word 'brother'.”“My grandson, you aren’t the only person in the world to have half-siblings.”“But it seems I'm the only one in our circle. My dad has Aunt Melissa. The Mountain family has three legitimate brothers on Daryl's side and two more on Rodrigo's side. Jack and Octavio Motta are also blood brothers.”Simeon smiles pityingly, “You are forgetting the main example.”“Wh
Building My Life Chapter 1896 A favor for Mrs. Bento
Maggie has an afternoon snack at Café Montanha, satisfied with the recent publication of her magazine. Carmen approaches her, still walking through the city.“Mrs. Bento, what a pleasure to meet you. How is James?”Carmen smiles, pulls up a chair, and sits down vis-a-vis her, “He just grows. Years later, I will be attending his wedding.”“How quickly time passes. My Henrique is becoming a horse. Let people not think that Bernie is his grandson.” Maggie sips her coffee with cream and mint, “So, have you read my latest issue?”Carmen tries to hide her displeasure, “Ehr... Dear Maggie, I want to ask you a favor.”“Which?” For Maggie, any 'favor' coming from someone in the Bento family is an express command.“No more talking about my promiscuous sister in your magazine,” Carmen asks simply.Maggie realizes she's stepped on a minefield, “Oh shit, did I miss something?”Carmen tries to smooth things over, “Not exactly, there's nothing horrendous going on. I just hope the news doesn't reach
Building My Life Chapter 1897 Claudio Is Spreading His Problems
The next day, Maggie is wrapping up a meeting with her most prized editors in the conference room.“Therefore, friends, we’ll no longer talk about Pamela Chaves in our magazine. Let's make up some excuse so she doesn't sue us and use that as an excuse to go back to town. I already felt guilty about Uélton's death. If Wallace's marriage failed, I would never lift my head again.”“I don't think the Freire family would blame you for this, but we understand.” One of the editors said with an encouraging smile.“OK, we're dismissed. Meeting adjourned.” Maggie gets up.The other editors get up and say goodbye to her. Upon opening the door, Maggie is faced with her niece.“Carol, what are you doing here alone?”“Mom said to wait for you here, you were busy,” Caroline responds dutifully.“Yes, but it's over now. Let's walk around the Publishing house with Auntie.” Maggie takes Caroline's hand and leads her through the premises.Meanwhile, Melissa talks to Bernardo in his office.Bernardo is ha
Building My Life Chapter 1898 He Can Come Back Already
Without realizing it, Cláudio is spreading his problems to everyone involved with Josias and Katherine. Diane is at her apartment talking about this with Daryl while serving breakfast.“Yesterday some poor fellow came in claiming to have been fired from a family of snobs in Sunset Village. He downed eight shots of Negroni and staggered out of the Crystal Blue.”Daryl shakes his head dismissively, “Instead of the guy looking for another job, he wastes time getting drunk. That's why he can't get a job! But it’s always the boss’s fault.”Diane pushes the plate of toast towards him, “Eat well, my love. I have noticed that you’re not eating right. The frantic activity of the restaurant shouldn’t distract you from your health.”“It's not Crystal Blue's frenzied activity that has taken away my appetite, dear.” Daryl takes a deep breath to admit, “It's that subject that's still eating away at me. At that point, Octavio Motta told everyone at Rocha Constructions that I was a soap opera villain
Building My Life Chapter 1899 A Recomendation from Rodrigo
Diane visits Marçal Publishing to have a conversation with her sister-in-law Maggie.The two enter the office of the editor-in-chief of Maggiezine, “Diane, I can see you down. Is Daryl giving you a hard time?”Diane sighs, “Oh, oh... we have tough ones, but they aren't caused by your brother.”“Sit down. In this busy life of ours, we haven't had time to sit back, relax and talk.” Maggie does the same.Diane sits down and starts venting, “Daryl still hasn't forgotten what happened before Veronica's wedding.”Maggie reacts by having a mental snap, “Hmm... I wanted to know that too. Is it true that I was almost barred from the wedding without knowing it? Even though I was a prearranged bridesmaid?”Diane gestures, “You weren't technically barred. It was Mr. Motta who decided to disinvite Daryl because he appeared at Rocha Constructions to talk about Josias's son. The rumor that turned out to be false.”“Fortunately. Alan Campos Rocha is the most prepared son to take over the company when

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.

Chapter 3147 Josias Instructs His Firstborn
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

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
