Building My Life Chapter 1989 A Son Admitted to the Hospital
As the days passed, Josias realized that Katherine had indeed behaved as she had promised. She didn't get involved in scandals, she didn't tease or intimidate David, and she never mentioned the name 'Cláudio' again.Josias, on the other hand, noticed that Katherine never confirmed that she was in heat for Claudio nor apologized for this indiscretion. She apologized for the confusion involving Vernon and Gabriela, but as to what started the confusion, she seems to have buried it in the back of her memory so as not to mention it again.But Tiago and Octavio weren't about to let the matter drop. In Josias's office, between one residential project and the next, they made comments about the confusion.“Master, when will Kate publicly recant?” Tiago takes advantage, “Miss Alves has already asked for forgiveness.”Josias smiles slightly, “I need to know how this girl is doing. Could it be that Kate's beating left no aftereffects?”Octavio smirks, “You're pretty worried about Miss Alves, huh?
Building My Life Chapter 1990 I Don't Accept Being Fired
Josias is at a loss with the accusation that Zedekiah leveled against him and the company.“Mr. Nogueira, the accusation is very serious. Please come to headquarters so we can talk further with our HR—”“I can't! I have to take care of my son who is still lying in the hospital! I'm trying to collect medical bills from Will Campos, but he won't even answer the phone, damn it!”Josias is extremely embarrassed, “OK, I'm going to the hospital right now.” He looks over at Octavio and Tiago and notices their expressions, “I'm sure I'll keep an eye on it, don't worry.”“Okay, we really need to sort this mess out. Bye, thanks!” Zedekiah hangs up.Josias takes a deep breath and finishes the call. He glares at his partners, “OK, do you want to explain to me why I wasn't informed of this?”Tiago clears his throat, “Master, I didn't think the matter would yield so much. It happened while you were in Rio de Janeiro, so we didn't want to bother you.”Octavio adds, “Some girls at school bothered Ros

In the Mountain Penthouse, Melissa wants to take Alan's mind off his worries.“Son, I hope you are more relaxed. First, you are very worried about your Uncle Will's attitudes. Then, you were bothered by Kate's attitude, and now, you want to wage war against your half-brother?”“I don't want to war with him.” Alan defends himself, “I want to defend myself.”“I assure you, there is nothing for you to defend yourself with, my son. Concentrate on your studies.” Melissa hugs him, “No one will take what's rightfully yours.”“I hope not, Mom.” Alan sighs, “But I feel like Angela sent her son here. If he can't outsmart me, at least he'll cause a lot of trouble on her behalf.”The embrace is broken. Melissa questions him, “And you think your father will allow these schemes?”“He's been allowing too much of Kate,” Alan remarks.“Not so much. He fired her from Rocha Constructions and she's been behaving, afraid of losing the post of Mrs. Rocha to Angela.” Melissa winks, “Don't underestimate your

At school, Caroline gets annoyed with Alan always bad-mouthing others.“Alan, I think you need to review your attitude.” She complains, “You're always bad-mouthing others, thinking the worst of them. It's not enough to hate Uncle Will and Kate, now are you going to include David on your list?”“Carol is right, Alan.” Rosemary opines, “David's barely back from Rio and you're already seeing him as a threat. Don't tell me you're fighting for the throne again! That's so ridiculous...”Alan shoots the girls a disdainful look, “Ridiculous will be the day Angela Souza and Kate show up in the conference room demanding that their children replace me. Don't you understand? Those vipers are just waiting for one misstep from me to—“Caio gestures, “Whoa, take it easy, young man! Don't you think it's a little early to be worrying about that? You're still fourteen, you don't have to be vigilant about anything.”“There was that day when I was forced to befriend Reuben in order not to lose my throne,

Hours passed, and Teresa gave birth to Maycon Robinson Reis.Beto is watching his newborn son sleep peacefully in his mother's arms. He looks up to the sky and speaks emotionally, “Another grandson for you, my father!”Vera is near the bed with tears in her eyes, “I must hurry to cheer up my father, if he has forgiven me.”“What is it, little sister?” Beto turns to her, “In heaven there is no hatred or grudge. And you’ll have your moment.”Teresa nods, “Yes, and it will be wonderful.”“Rest, dear.” Beto kisses his wife's forehead.Rosemary and Pedro come in, “Can we see him?”“He's still sleeping, but you can come in!” Beto calls the two.Rosemary gets emotional, “Look, Pedro! We have another little brother!”“How cool! We really are a big family!” Pedro exclaims.Beto swallows hard. He's going to have to go out of his way to say that he has three kids instead of two.In the hallway, other friends are waiting to say congratulations.William, however, wants to cause confusion, “Guys, t

William tries to dodge the obligation imposed on Josias as much as possible.“Josias, once again you're asking me to pay for something that has nothing to do with me!”Josias is indignant, “What do you mean? Caio is your son, it's your responsibility!”“I don't need to be reminded of this.” William retorts.Beto chimes in, “Will, I had to take Caio back to my apartment because you weren't answering your phone. He had his uniform shirt ripped and bloody. What's going on?”William swallows hard and replies, “I unplug the phone cord so I can sleep soundly. The pizzeria's activity has doubled and I'm not keeping up with so much work!”Josias kind of accepts the explanation, “OK, that means you're not short of cash, correct? The Pizzeria is making a profit, and you have a reserve in the bank, right?”William grits his teeth, “That reserve wasn't to spend on medical expenses for people I don't know!”“Unfortunately, Will, that money will have to be used,” Josias determines as if he owned th

At Rocha Mansion, Katherine walks in with David after enrolling him in Sunset Village Elementary School. The employees have already started with the Christmas decorations.“Phew, David! You're gonna go to a rich school!”“But aren't we rich?” David asks mockingly.Katherine clears her throat, “Ehr... I mean, you really go to a school where our social class belongs. I don't know why J.J. goes to that public school...”“Transfer him here so he can keep me company.” David smiles like the serpent.Katherine smiles slightly with her hand on her chin, “And so he doesn't get too close to Alan...”“Did you mention Alan?” David suddenly asks.“Wow! Don't scare me, David, I was just talking to myself.” Katherine quips, “How's your mother's business?”David lights up his face with a smile, “It's growing non-stop! Atelier Souza is becoming the point of the South Zone.”Katherine has a jolt, “Did you mean North Zone?”“No, I'm talking about the South Zone.” David confirms without noticing that Kat

Josias visits Marçal Publishing and finds Maggie and Gabriela preparing the article.“Let's use this photo for the cover.” Maggie highlights a photograph.“Yes, it turned out pretty.” Gabriela nods, “May Tess Reis's dream come true and let Maycon Reis become famous.”“Good morning!” Josias knocks on the open door.“Josias, come closer!” Maggie gestures.Gabriela feels shivers down her spine and makes an effort to be natural, “Good morning, Mr. Rocha.”Josias smiles gently at Gabriela, “Miss Alves, I heard that you are going to be a colleague of my younger brother, João Paulo. Does that confirm, Maggie?”Maggie quickly confirms, “Yes, yes, yes! It was your request to hire him, right? I was wondering why he didn't come sooner.”“He was working on a newspaper in the Capital.” Josias proudly replies, “But the longing for his family spoke louder. That's why he's coming back, to my delight.” He turns to Gabriela, “I hope you can receive him with affection and friendship.”“I'm sure we'll be

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

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
