Building My Life Chapter 1936 Melissa Can't Open Her Heart
Melissa is even embarrassed to answer Josias about Cláudio, “Josias, don't get upset about this. You know your father does these things because he is the only one who dares to anger the sheik.”“I don't know why everyone thinks I'm a sheik.” Josias responds in a fit of modesty, “But my father... he could have been frank with me. I would be delighted to tarnish the reputation of this pervert who sexually abused my—”“STOP, Josias!” Melissa can't take it anymore, “You know damn well that didn't happen. Why are you still in a state of denial?”Josias is surprised by Melissa being frank and straightforward with him, “Melissa... do you care that much about what I think about things?”Melissa controls her emotions so as not to give the wrong impression, “I just don't want you to be seen as a fool in the eyes of others. You are a kind and charitable man, Josias. Sometimes certain people might want to take advantage of that.”“Including my wife?” Josias asks dangerously.Melissa tries to patc
Building My Life Chapter 1937 Will The Marriage Survive?
At Lagoon City P.D., Amoreira and Ivan are slowly revealing the truth that will free Josias from ignorance.Amoreira takes the copy of Maggiezine and shows it to him, “Here it is. Read the article.”Josias narrows his eyes when he sees the photo. It looks like Kate was desperate and Claudio was pretty mad. His fierce countenance reminded Josias of a rabid Doberman dog.But the article hinted at Kate more than at Claudio, as if Gabriela suspected something hidden.“This article is less objective than the article my father wrote.” Josias hands the magazine back to the detective, “It seems that this editor Gabriela wanted to cast some doubts on my wife on purpose. Why did Maggie Marçal approve such an article?”Ivan is bothered, “Mr. Rocha, are you saying that you agree with the writer being beaten and admitted to the hospital in serious condition?”Josias shakes his head, “No, I'm just saying that Kate acted on impulse, but she had her reason. Please, let me speak to my wife.”Before Jo
Building My Life Chapter 1938 Melissa Doesn't Feel Desirable Anymore
In the Mountain Penthouse, Melissa was on the balcony watching the sunset. She had a cup of tea in her hands. Her countenance showed that she was thoughtful... remembering the last conversation she had with Josias.Why had Josias been using such a magnetic, seductive tone lately when talking to her? Does he not realize how dangerous this could be for both of them?Melissa shakes her head, reproaching herself. Stop these daydreams, Melissa! You are no longer a desirable and hot young woman! You are now a mother of four and on your way to turning forty! Not to be confused with your 'Sweet Love' female characters!Kelvin comes up behind her and hugs her gently, “Thinking about what?”“How Josias uses a sexy voice without realizing it,” Melissa responds in a playful tone.Kelvin laughs. He's not jealous, except when it's William who blurts out, “Josias better clear things up with Kate, or he'll be single for life.”Melissa shakes her head, “That won't happen. There will always be a bitch
Building My Life Chapter 1939 Katherine's Statement
At the Campos Pizzeria, to the sound of “American Woman”, a version by Lenny Kravitz, William is almost having a heart attack with the possibility of Caio spoiling Beto's secret.But Beto risks asking, “What are you talking about, Caio?”“You were almost going to include Little Theo as your son, weren't you?” Caio replies good-naturedly, “My mother made us think he was my half-brother.”Everyone laughs, but William and Beto heave a long sigh of relief.Beto tries to fix it, “Ehr... Ah, Caio, what a scare. I thought I was the father of another child out there without knowing it.”“Wow, were you that much in demand in your youth, dear?” Teresa teases him.“Hey, what do you mean by ‘youth’?” Beto jokes, kissing his wife's lips.Simeon rubs his hands together, “Well, let's set aside a table for the couple. Again, congratulations. Teodoro would be very happy with so many grandchildren. And we still have Vera plus Wallace.”As they sit down, Beto replies, “Yes, they are planning the engagem

At Crystal Blue, Daryl couldn't believe that Octavio wanted to fight again.He notes how fearful Jane is and says wryly, “You better not frighten your wife, Octavio. Remember, we're family now. Even though you want to stop us—”“Listen here,” Octavio explodes, “I just wanted to stop you, and maybe your wife would be sacrificed in the middle. The rest of the Montanha family was still invited!”Maggie interjects, “But do you think we would accept such nonsense? We would all boycott the wedding in protest! We are Veronica's cousins!”“You guys should have thought about that before messing with Josias Rocha, and spreading rumors.” Jane asserts.Maggie gets up from the stool, “As it turns out, we found out that Kate Rocha started this. She showed up at the penthouse and started the gossip.”“And your brother was like a little woman meddling where he had none of his business!” Octavio roars, “And now you are plotting against his wife! She's not crazy, you're the ones who drove her crazy!”T
Building My Life Chapter 1941 Gabriela Is Not Doing Well
Moments later, Josias and Katherine were properly dressed and joined with Melissa and Kelvin in one of J.J.'s chosen living rooms. Melissa didn't understand why the lady of the mansion was glaring at her.“Sorry we bothered you, Kate.” She begins, “But we want to know how yesterday's mess was resolved.”“Couldn't you guys have called?” Kate lashes out at the words.“Would you have answered?” Kelvin jokes, making Melissa giggle.Josias is embarrassed, “Sorry, guys. But can we stick to the subject? I think you want to know about the progress of the case.”Katherine haughtily cuts him off, “Honey, we don't have to explain to them. Come on, I'm hungry.”Kelvin takes offense, “Wait a minute, Kate! You accused an employee of mine of sexual harassment and an employee of my younger sister's company is seriously hospitalized. What do you mean, 'no need to explain'?”Katherine stands up, “I won't wear out anytime soon. Honey, hire someone from Damascene Lawyers to defend me. As seen, I’ll need
Building My Life Chapter 1942 Katherine Returns to the Police Station
Josias is very worried when Ivan informs him that Katherine may have problems with the Law. But Ivan seems to enjoy it.“Mr. Rocha, this is what happens when people think they can do whatever they want.”Josias looks suspiciously at the sergeant, “Sergeant Moraes, you aren’t being impartial.”“I should have paid more attention since the day your wife asked to see me and she didn't show up.” Ivan frowns, “I'd waited like an idiot for hours.”“OK, but now she has given her statement.” Josias tries to calm him down.“Yesterday, after you pressed her.” Ivan grumbles, “I still don't quite believe in the veracity of that statement. And even if it were true, nothing justifies the aggression against the editor. That's why I came exclusively for this.”Katherine descends the stairs and heads for the foyer, but her steps freeze when she sees the sergeant, “Darling? What's going on here?”Ivan smirks, “Mrs. Kate Rocha, I need you to accompany me to the district.”Katherine grew roots in the floo
Building My Life Chapter 1943 Wallace in the Crossfire
Kate goes to the police station again. The same policewoman who attended to her now receives her with derision.“Look, if it isn't Mrs. Rocha again. Thank you for making my classmates think I've gone crazy.”Kate says sadly, “I'm sorry, officer, but I didn't really intend to speak with Sergeant Moraes. I had my reasons...”“Certainly, the same reasons for cruelly attacking an editor of the most famous magazine in Espírito Santo.”Ivan tries to defuse the quarrel, “Ladies, let's take it easy.”“I spent weeks trying to figure out where my mistake was when in fact...” The officer gives up and just types the information into the computer.Afterward, Ivan and Katherine enter his office.“Has my lawyer arrived yet?” Katherine asks wryly.“Do you really need a lawyer to talk about what happened, Mrs. Rocha?” Ivan raises his eyebrows, “Wouldn't that be taking the blame?”“OF COURSE!” Katherine yells, “I just understood your game.”Ivan rolls his eyes, “OK, here we go...”“You are dying to def

Chapter 3164 An Exciting Scoop
Josias sat comfortably in his executive chair, reviewing printed spreadsheets when a hesitant knock interrupted his focus. The door creaked open slowly, and Tony cautiously peeked in.“Mr. Rocha?” he asked, his voice uncertain.Josias barely looked up. “Speak, Tony.”“Do I still have my job?”That made Josias pause, lifting his eyes in surprise. “And why would I fire you?”Tony hesitated. “I don’t know... talking about your son seems to make you nervous.”Josias let out a reassuring smile to ease the secretary’s nerves. “You won’t be punished for that. Now, tell me.”“He’s at the reception, causing quite a commotion.”Josias kept his smile, but inside, he had the sudden urge to throw something out the office window. “Send him in.”Tony nodded and quickly left. Only then did Josias’ expression darken.The adjacent door swung open, and Alan appeared. “Dad, I—”“Oh no, son! David is on his way up.”Alan’s expression turned incredulous. “Why the hell did you let that happen?!”“He’s proba
Chapter 3163 The Difference Between Good and Evil
The morning at Lafayette Supermarket was calmier as the crew wrapped up the filming of a commercial. Rodrigo, ever the charismatic host, beamed at the camera with his signature charm.“And don’t forget,” he said enthusiastically, “the best prices can only be found here at Lafayette Supermarket!”“Cut!” the director called out.Contrary to what some might expect, Rodrigo’s radiant smile didn’t fade as soon as the cameras stopped rolling. He maintained his warm demeanor as he approached Nadia.“Sweetheart, what was that outburst with our customers?” he asked with a teasing lilt.Nadia, still flustered, huffed. “The years go by, but you remain as handsome as ever. I have to protect what’s mine.”Rodrigo chuckled, his eyes twinkling. “You have nothing to worry about anymore.”Pulling her into a loving embrace, he kissed her. As they parted, Thierry approached, clapping Rodrigo on the back.“That was great, Rod! You still got it.”Rodrigo smirked. “It’s like riding a bike. But the day will
Chapter 3162 Can We Trust Brendon?
That morning, at Rocha Constructions, Josias and Alfred walked down the hallway, engaged in a serious conversation about Brendon.“So, Alfred?” Josias asked, his tone sharp with curiosity. “Can we trust the guy?”Alfred nodded with confidence. “We can. Unless he’s twice as cunning as David.”Josias scoffed. “Impossible. My son took masterclasses in villainy.”Alfred hesitated for a moment before asking, “You’ve really given up on him, haven’t you?”Josias sighed, his voice tinged with regret. “I always tried to be fair, to integrate him into the family... but he’s been strange since he was a kid. I think he still expects me to marry his mother.”As they made their way through the bustling office, Alfred stifled a chuckle. “Pfff... Sorry, Josias, but that’s absolutely impossible. You love Melissa.”“I always have,” Josias admitted. “Of course, when she was married to Kelvin, I kept my distance.”“But things didn’t work out with Kelvin, and now you two are back together.”“And this time
Chapter 3161 Commercial Shoot
The next day, the Rocha family gathered for breakfast, joined by Simeon, Dora, Ignacio, and Mary. The atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.Hector appeared at the doorway, hesitant to interrupt but clearly carrying important news.“Speak, Hector,” Josias prompted.“Mr. Rocha, your eldest son is here,” Hector announced.Melissa looked up in surprise, dabbing her lips with a napkin. “This early?”“Let him in,” she said, setting her napkin down.Mary beamed. “Yay! Alan is joining us!”Ignacio, less convinced, muttered, “Maybe he already ate.”Dora glanced at her husband. “Could something have happened at the company — or at Vaztrans?”Simeon smirked. “I’d bet on the second option.”Just then, Alan entered with a broad smile.“Good morning, beautiful people! Oh, how I’ve missed these breakfasts!”“Don’t just miss them,” Melissa teased. “Pull up a chair and sit down!”Unable to resist, Alan sank into a seat, momentarily reliving his teenage years.Josias leaned in. “Tell us, son. What ha

Alan sat at his desk in Rocha Constructions, focused on some important matters on his computer. The night had fallen outside, but he was too absorbed in work to notice. The office door opened, and Alfred stepped in.“Alan, may I have a word with you?” he asked.“Come in,” Alan replied without looking up.Alfred approached the desk. “The order processing team came across an unusual request.”Alan stopped typing and turned his attention to Alfred. “What kind of request?”“A renovation request for Angel’s Store.”Alan immediately flared up, rising from his chair. “What kind of joke is this? Cancel the request IMMEDIATELY!”“Normally, they would,” Alfred explained, “but the online form was submitted by Brendon Souza.”Hearing the name, Alan calmed down, reconsidering the situation. “Is he related to David? Someone who took over the store while David was at the hotel?”“Maybe. He placed the order through the website,” Alfred said.Alan crossed his arms, deep in thought. “I doubt David woul

Luís stepped into the Vaztrans Mansion, taking in the surroundings with a sense of nostalgia. He glanced around, a faint smile on his lips as he took in the familiar space. Engrácia passed behind him, carrying his luggage up to his old suite. Alan and Sofia stood nearby, watching him settle in.“I need to get back to the company as soon as possible,” Alan said, turning to Sofia. “Can you help him get settled in?”“Of course, darling,” Sofia replied before addressing Luís. “So, cousin? Feeling nostalgic?”Luís sank onto the couch with a mysterious smile. “Did you guys change the decor again?”Sofia nodded. “I had some input this time.”“I see. Aunt Olivia does have extravagant tastes, doesn’t she?” he teased.Sofia flushed slightly, a bit uncomfortable. “You have no idea how happy I am to have you back, cousin.”“I doubt everyone is as thrilled. I can think of at least two people who aren’t.” His tone was light, but the implication was clear.Alan and Sofia exchanged uneasy glances. “M
Chapter 3158 Don’t Be Too Obvious
At Café Montanha that afternoon, the atmosphere grew tense as Neilton, Rodrigo, and Nadia found themselves momentarily flustered by Brendon’s introduction. Brendon, however, remained standing with his hand extended, his expression puzzled.“Uh... did I say something wrong?” he asked.Neilton hesitated before replying. “Uh, sorry, Mr. Souza. But your cousin just left here making a huge scene.”Out of politeness, he finally shook Brendon’s hand.“Typical of him, right?” Brendon said with a yellow smile. “I hope to be a contrast to that.”Rodrigo, ever the curious host, inquired, “Are you new in town? Where are you from?”“Rio de Janeiro,” Brendon replied. “I’ll be representing my aunt at Angel Stores.”Nadia narrowed her eyes slightly, studying him. He didn’t seem to share David’s unpleasant nature.“Is your father Angela’s brother?” she asked.“No,” Brendon said, shaking his head. “My father passed away. In business, I use my mother’s surname. But of course, when I get married, I’ll us
Chapter 3157 New Kid in Town
Erasmo, Olivia, and Sofia stood anxiously in Erasmo’s office at Vaztrans, their anticipation filling the room. Olivia clutched a coffee cup — certainly not her first of the day. Sofia eyed her mother with concern, her brows furrowed.“Mom, do you want to have another nervous breakdown?” she asked with worry.Olivia exhaled sharply. “I’m just trying to calm down, sweetheart.”Erasmo chuckled. “No, woman. Coffee will just make you more jittery than you already are.”Olivia suddenly froze, staring at the cup in her hands as if seeing it for the first time. “No! I thought I was drinking chamomile tea!”Erasmo burst into laughter as Olivia rushed to pour herself a cup of actual chamomile tea.Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed down the hall. Sofia perked up, instantly recognizing her husband’s steady, confident stride.The office door swung open, and Alan entered with a triumphant smile.“Son-in-law! What great news do you have for us?” Erasmo asked eagerly.Alan’s grin widened. “THI

Melissa and Brigitte sat in the office at Damascene Lawyers, but this wasn’t a friendly chat. Tension filled the air as Melissa got straight to the point.“Melissa, what are you saying?” Brigitte asked, already wary.“I’m saying you need to help me with this delicate matter,” Melissa replied firmly.Brigitte looked shocked. “Why?”“Because I don’t like scheming against family members,” Melissa said, crossing her arms. “And you are part of the family. You know Leo Borges well, right?”Brigitte shifted uncomfortably in her chair. “Yes, I know Attorney Borges.”Melissa smirked, catching the deliberate formality in Brigitte’s words. “Well, since he’s not available, could you please ask him to let J.J. work peacefully at Vasconcelos Fabrics?”Brigitte hesitated. “But that’s his brother’s business!”“I’m sure you can help us,” Melissa insisted, her gaze unwavering.Brigitte sighed. “Melissa, you’re putting me in a tight spot!”Melissa leaned in slightly. “Do you know why Josias bought share
