Building My Life Chapter 1979 A Funeral?
Katherine could hardly believe it. Behold, she was slapped by someone who is below her husband!She gets up and massages her sore cheek, “My husband will kill you!”“I guess the opposite is happening, huh?” Daryl rubs his hand on his clothes like he's touched a garbage bag.Katherine narrows her eyes, “It seems like the whole world saw my husband's press conference.”“Kate, why do you subject yourself to these humiliations?” Daryl crosses his arms, “Why don't you act like Melissa when she was Mrs. Rocha?”Melissa's eyes catch fire, “I'm not like that bitch!”Daryl raises his hand to slap her again, but Katherine screams and recoils, trying to protect herself, “ARGH!”Daryl holds his hand in the air and looks at Katherine with as much contempt as possible, “You aren’t worthy of uttering my sister-in-law's name. How embarrassing! Josias is not done with you enough!”Katherine straightens up and smiles defiantly, “Continue to root for the ruin of my marriage! This will only make it easie
Building My Life Chapter 1980 Ticket to Boston
Josias enters the mansion and finds Hector pretending he is dusting the furniture in the foyer with a feather duster. It’s evident that the butler saw Josias arrive and wants to see the circus burn.“Where is my wife, Hector?”“Boss, madam is at the tennis club with friends. She must be here soon.”Josias looks at his wristwatch, “It's already night, they must no longer be playing. Pack some of my bags, Hector. I need to travel urgently.”“Immediately, sir.” Hector smiles slightly, imagining where the boss would go...Josias goes to one of the little tables, finds paper and pen left over, and writes a note in hasty handwriting.Afterward, he goes to the master suite to check what will be packed.Moments later, Katherine arrives in a white shirt and shorts, indicating that she was at the aforementioned club.

At Crystal Blue, Melissa gets angry when she sees Cláudio wanting to leave town.“Cláudio, why are you running away? Didn't you see my ex-husband fire his wife live and in color on TV? She will no longer harm you.”Claudio gives a pitying chuckle, “Mrs. Mountain, you are naive. Kate Bezerra threatened me with death yesterday. Call me a coward, but I'm not going to stand by and wait for her to carry out her threat.”Kelvin asserts, “That's what the police are for.”Cláudio shakes his head, “I won't waste the plane ticket and the money that Josias Rocha gave me. Mr. Mountain here just informed me that he is in Rio seeing his other concubine. In the meantime, it's time for me to withdraw from the picture.”“But what do I tell Caroline?” Melissa insists.“Tell her she already learned to swim or hire a female swim instructor.” Claudio smiles weakly, “Unfortunately, our contract will have to end, Mrs. Mountain. It was a pleasure while it lasted.”Melissa blocks Cláudio's steps, “Don't you r

At Rocha Constructions, Katherine is packing her things to leave and, who knows, never come back. She looks around her office and sighs, already feeling homesick.“It was nice while it lasted. But I have a feeling I would never be welcome again after everything that's happened. And I have a feeling they're blaming me. They didn't seem sorry about my resignation.”Katherine wiggles her head and stuffs her personal belongings into a crate.Her cell phone on her desk rings and she answers it, “Hello?”On the other side, Elza is very serious, “Kate, can we talk in my office?”“Mrs. Queiroz, I'm packing my things to leave the office, since your son did me the favor of firing me on television...”Elza interrupts her, “If you allow me to explain, you’ll understand why my son had to resort to extreme measures.”Katherine smirks, “But of course, a mother will always defend her dear child! I would do the same if it were J.J.”Elza counters, “I hope J.J. doesn't marry a troublesome, awful woman

Good to see you again. Looks like we ran into a little problem.”Beto promptly asks, “What happened to my daughter?”Rosemary vents, “They asked me if I was pregnant and I kicked the shit out of them!”Teresa stifles a laugh.Fernandez scratches his bald head, “And that's not all, gentlemen. One of the girls was with her boyfriend and her half-brother, Caio Campos... he sent the young man to General Hospital.”Beto smirks at Caio’s boldness, “That's it? No big deal then. Headmaster, I didn't raise my daughter to be a fighter, but Caio couldn't beat them.”Teresa tries to soften her husband's attitude, “Actually, Principal Fernandez, my stepdaughter has been suffering humiliation from her classmates
Building My Life Chapter 1984 We Only Have Ourselves
At Marçal Publishing, Bernardo and Maggie receive the requested visit from Vernon. He is smiling.“Well, I see that the doting father is aware of what happened,” Bernardo says.“My pup sent his resume? Good! Now it's time for you to accept it, correct?”Bernardo maintains an indifferent posture, “Vernon, we're friends now, but I still haven't forgotten the headache you caused me when you worked here. My company almost went bankrupt because you were provoking and persecuting your enemies using Marçal Publishing as a weapon of war.”Vernon lowered his smile, “But that doesn't mean my son will do the same thing. On the contrary, he strongly disapproved of my attitude years ago.”Maggie reminds him, “That's because he was young and innocent. Now he'll be part of the same jungle as you are. I hope the power and feeling of being the first to break news don't rub off on him.”Vernon shakes his head, “No, I can assure you that my boy will be an example of professionalism and competence.

Building My Life Chapter 1985 They're Back
A few days passed. Katherine was desperate, thinking Josias would never come back. He didn't call once. J.J. was staying at the Mountain Penthouse because she couldn't bear to look at her son's face any longer and answer that 'his father is coming soon'.That's why, on the next Monday, she made the biggest scandal in the entrance hall with the receptionists and security guards, wanting to enter Rocha Constructions. Officials tried to contain her.“Mrs. Rocha, you’re not authorized to enter in Mr. Rocha's absence!”“LIE!” Katherine screams madly, “Who made up this rule? I'm the wife of the owner of this pigpen, I WANT IN!”Tiago appears with a solemn expression, “I'll take care of her.”The security guards release Katherine and she runs to the financial director, “TIAGO! What infamy is this, why can't I come in?”“What's the point of you coming in?” Tiago indifferently asks, “My master is not here. He is in Rio de Janeiro seeing David again.”Katherine gives a bitter smile, “Humph! He'

In Melissa's office (once Josias's), they both discuss David's future in Lagoon City.Melissa begins, concerned, “Josias, I think it's wonderful that you're bringing your son to live together. Indeed, having the four children together will be an exciting experience. David will no longer feel rejected and lonely.”Josias smiles in assent, “David swears he never felt this way, but you're right Melissa.”Melissa continues, “How is Kate going to take this one though? You know she didn't like it when Alan was at her mansion because he was suspicious of her attraction to Claudio.”Josias breaks the smile, “Are we still having this conversation? I was informed by Tiago that Cláudio Guzman decided to move to Boston. May he be able to rebuild his life there.”“He RAN AWAY because your crazy wife was out to kill him!” Melissa frets, “Let's put it the way it is, Josias.”Josias takes a deep breath, “OK. I'm aware that Kate isn't behaving well. That's why I traveled to Rio de Janeiro, to see if s

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
