Building My Life Chapter 1914 Buying time
Josias and Melissa are face to face, surprised by each other's visit.“Josias...” Melissa starts to speak, “You didn't need to come. You sure have a lot of appointments.”“One of my commitments today is to come here.” Josias assures with a gentle smile, “And J.J. is not your son.”“Oh, J.J. started studying here?” Melissa's eyes widen, “Is he already seven years old? How time passes...”“Yes, time flies. Even my hair flew.” Director Fernandez jokes while smoothing his bald head.Everyone laughs. Other parents start to show up.“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Please, the teachers are waiting for you here.”William appears and smiles wryly upon seeing Josias, “Ah, the hysterical of the year has arrived!”Melissa turns to her younger brother and frowns, “Will, you're not even going to forgive the parent-teacher conference?”“Sister, never miss an opportunity to humiliate someone. Isn't that your ex-husband's motto?”“What are you talking about, Will?” Josias asks sharply, “Is not yo
Building My Life Chapter 1915 A Pointless Question
Octavio is taken aback by this unusual and unexpected question. He closes the door, fearing that Daryl has heard this nonsense, “Girl! Do you want to lose the grace of being Mrs. Rocha again? Remember you are enjoying a second chance because Angela faltered!”“I know!” Katherine stands up, “But this is a feeling I can't shake! Why is it that since I married Josias, Melissa lives glued to him? Any and every occasion is an excuse for her to be around him!”Octavio shakes his head in disbelief, “Is this serious, Kate? Alan and Caroline are the children of Josias and Melissa. You’ll have to get over it.”Katherine smiles wryly, “OK, but does MELISSA get over the fact that Josias and I have a beautiful son?”“Yes, I'm sure.” Octavio lowers his voice, “Careful, Kate, don't tell the Mountain family these things. They are a bunch of gossipers who aren’t content to lead a peaceful life.”“If you're talking about Daryl Mountain, I completely agree.” Katherine rolls her eyes, “The asshole is imi
Building My Life Chapter 1916 Potiphar's Wife
Josias's limousine stops at the police station and he opens the door to step out, “Melissa, can you wait here?”“Yes, Josias, thanks for the ride.” She smiles gently.“I need to see if Kate obeyed me.” Josias smiles slightly and leaves, closing the door.The driver looks at Melissa in the rearview mirror and decides to turn on the car radio. Westlife's song “Swear it Again” made Melissa more comfortable with the wait.“So he forced his wife to give a statement...” Melissa says to herself, “Kate is having the reaction of someone who has suffered major sexual trauma, but why do I feel, over and over, that such trauma doesn't exist?”Meanwhile, Josias enters Lagoon City P.D. The same policewoman who attended to Katherine earlier widened her eyes when she now saw her husband.“Mr. Rocha... what a pleasure to serve you. What can the police station help you with?”“Miss Officer, did my wife Katherine come here to give the statement? Is Sergeant Moraes there?”The policewoman nods vigorously
Building My Life Chapter 1917 Let's Bring Them Back
At Marçal Publishing, Maggie is checking the photos that have been taken by her respected photographers. Along with them was a draft of a likely article by the writers tied for the editor-in-chief to decide whether it could or couldn’t be worth publishing such an article.She narrows her eyes when a draft by the writer Gabriela is attached to a photograph of Katherine sternly arguing with a strange gentleman. Staring fixedly, it gave the impression that it was he who reprimanded Mrs. Rocha...In the draft, “Handsome gentleman accuses Mrs. Rocha of giving false testimony on the harassment charge. He called her 'Potiphar's wife'!”Maggie takes the phone from her desk and dials Gabriela's extension.At Gabriela's desk, the writer responds effusively, “Marçal Publishing House, Gabriela?”“Gaby, it's me. Come to my office.” Maggie orders in her editor-in-chief tone.Just as she's considering what to do, Diane bursts into the office, “Maggie, I know you're busy, but I need some advice!”Mag
Building My Life Chapter 1918 Understanding the Campos Family
Maggie sees the distress on Diane's face and gestures, “Come in, my dear! How can I help you?”“I know you are the little sister.” Diane sits down, “But sometimes it's women who talk sense into men's heads.”Maggie smirks, “Is there a problem with my brother?”“It's that subject of the rumor involving Alan Rocha that is still yielding.” Diane scratches her head, “I told Daryl to clean it up, but it looks like we just added more yeast to double the mess!”“What happened?”“Mrs. Queiroz and Mrs. Motta came to the restaurant bar to question me, as if I was guilty of something!” Diane exclaims, “And I just blurted out that it was Katherine who started the rumor.”Maggie narrows her eyes, “They didn't know about that?”“From the faces they made, no. Mrs. Queiroz even drank the cognac in one go.” Diane smirks as she recalls the scene. Elza looked like a lady drunkard from a low-grade tavern.Maggie smirks, “Hmm... Looks like Kate was looking forward to having J.J. as the successor and tried
Building My Life Chapter 1919 Permission from Bernardo
Maggie and Diane are in front of Bernardo to ask the CEO of Marçal Publishing for permission regarding Katherine's story.“Girls, we don’t even know who this guy is making this accusation.” Bernardo scratches his head and breaks out in a cold sweat. His wife wants to gossip against Josias Rocha's wife!“We can investigate.” Maggie continues excitedly, “I think it's going to be an interesting story. We don't need to put it on the first page, just a little space on the inner pages and...”“And the matter spreads like wildfire.” Bernardo adds, chuckling, “Maggie, are you aware that we are talking about Mrs. Rocha?”Diane rages, “We're talking about the woman who set my husband up! Now my husband has a bad reputation thanks to Octavio Motta. But she was the one who started all this!”“Mrs. Motta must be talking to her husband right now, and if I know Elza Queiroz well, she will also be telling her husband. And we know that Vernon Queiroz is going to dig it in depth and make the most sensa
Building My Life Chapter 1920 LCN and Maggiezine in Partnership
Bernardo calls Vernon's office.Vernon is in his office writing a hot piece about a Vila Velha businessman accused of corruption, “Hello?”Bernardo chuckles, “Hey, shouldn’t it be ‘Journal LCN, Vernon Queiroz, good afternoon’?”Vernon laughs too, “I'm not used to such nonsense. That I leave to the secretaries. How can I help you, Bernie?”Bernardo doesn't remember permitting Vernon to call him that, but... “Have you been informed by your wife about the conversation she had with Diane today at the Crystal Blue bar?”Vernon's eyes are shining and the hairs on his arms are standing on end, “No, but I'm sure she'll tell me while we're in bed... to sleep, of course!” Vernon immediately corrects it, fearing it will sound pornographic to Bernardo.Too late, Bernardo turned up his nose, “Spare me your marital intimacy. Anyway, let me tell you, my wife is dying to publish a hot piece against Katherine, but she needs more research and reliable sources.”Vernon bounces in the swivel chair, “Are
Building My Life Chapter 1921 Vernon Is the Only One Who Can Anger Josias
Days passed, and with that, the certainty that Katherine feels that she will never be unmasked made her calmer. Josias noticed how her mood improved 1000% after he assured her that he still loves and trusts her.Alan, however, is not satisfied. He's packing his bags, ready to head back to Mountain Penthouse.J.J. enters the room and finds him stuffing the toys into a specific suitcase, “Hey, bro, why are you packing the parcheesi board?”“J.J., it's time for your brother to go back to the penthouse,” Alan responds seriously, but without being aggressive. These last few months, he really warmed to his stepbrother, “Don't worry, you're guaranteed your place in the company.”J.J. nods, not quite getting what the older brother said. Maybe he's still too young to understand... “I'm gonna miss you. Mommy won't let me visit the penthouse because of Cláudio.”“That cow will get what she deserves, little brother,” Alan promises with a fierce look.“What do you mean, ‘cow’?” J.J. scratches the

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

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
