Gabriela finally thinks ‘Why not?’ and answers the phone, “This is the last time you’re talking to Gabriela Alves from Maggiezine. I hope it's worth it!”“Measure your words!” William thunders, “You're in no right to be tough, Miss Alves. We need to meet at Café Montanha in twenty minutes!”“Who is it?” Gabriela widens her eyes.“Twenty minutes or a grave in the sand of Sunset Village will be filled with your dead body!” William angrily hangs up the phone.Gabriela is terrified, “Hello? Hello? HELP, there's a maniac on the call!”Maggie approaches her sourly, “Gabriela, are the pregnancy hormones making you hysterical?”“Maggie, some madman has ordered me to Café Mountain in twenty minutes or he'll bury me alive on the beach at Sunset Village! How horrible! What do I do?”Maggie looks at her wristwatch, “You better go so you won't be late.”Gabriela stops the urge to slap her former boss, takes the box with her belongings, and leaves at once.******João Paulo enters the premises of L

At Rocha Constructions, Josias calms Tiago Bento's spirits.“Tiago, you always scare me with your mobster talk. Then you deny it.”“I have already killed for you, master, and I would kill again,” Tiago responds solemnly.“SCHI!” Josias gestures, afraid of someone listening, “Walls have ears, Tiago!”“I beg your pardon, master, but you know that the Bento family is here to serve you.” Tiago continues with a somber face.“Except for Elisa, I hope she is happy in Sunset Village with her hubby and son.”Tiago suddenly smiles like a normal guy, “She continues to be forever grateful and includes you in her prayers.”“OK, let's do this: we need to know what happened for Bernie Marçal to fire Gabriela out of nowhere. She is heavily pregnant and needed the job. Perhaps it was anger at being fired that made her thoughtlessly slap Melissa.”“It could be the reason, but it's still not justifiable.”“And I want to talk to Cláudio Guzman. Alan told me that he accused Melissa of murdering Kate. What
Building My Life Chapter 2136 More Assumptions
Gabriela is walking down the street when an unidentifiable gentleman approaches her. He wore sunglasses, a black suit, and a matching tie.“Miss Alves? On behalf of Josias Rocha, we recommend that you accompany me to his office.”Gabriela again feels panic, “Who are you?”“I work for Mr. Bento and we are servants of Josias Rocha, the sovereign. Please come to the limousine, and don't make a fuss.”“HEL—”Before Gabriela could scream, the mysterious guy grabbed her, covered her mouth with one hand, and dragged her to the limousine with the other hand. Those who were passing by pretended they didn't see anything, afraid of harming themselves.******At Crystal Blue, Ivan and Lorraine have lunch with meatballs in authentic tomato sauce with pasta cooked in garlic and olive oil and grated cheese on top for decoration.“I missed that handsome maître d', the lucky one who married Melissa Campos,” Lorraine comments.Ivan takes a sip of his dry wine, “Lucky is the right word.

Josias and Octavio walk through the corridors of Rocha Constructions after lunch. “Are you sure you don't need my help, Octavio?” Josias insists, “I would hate to know that you are hiding your problems from me intending to spare me. What's the use of being your best friend if I can't help you?” Octavio smiles in thanks, “No need to worry, buddy!” “OK, take the rest of the day off and accompany your wife to her appointments with Dr. Silvana.” Josias does not give up. Before Octavio protests, Josias turns to Pollyanna. “Mr. Rocha, Mr. Guzman and Miss Alves have been captured and are waiting for you.” Josias rolls his eyes. Sure enough, Tiago's henchmen abducted Claudio and Gabriela like in some action movies! He enters the office and prepares drinks to calm the visitors. Afterward, he goes to the side door and enters the lounge. Gabriela was banging on the door and hoarse from screaming, “LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT!”
Building My Life Chapter 2138 Wrong Address?
In Josias's office, Gabriela and Cláudio finally want to know what the president of the company has to say.“Now I'm curious.” Claudio accepts the drink.“Here’s the thing, folks.” Josias sits in the armchair, “Why did you decide to ruin Melissa's farewell party?”Gabriela smirks, “Isn't she Mrs. Mountain? Why do you still call her ‘Melissa’? Oh, God, Josias, don't tell me you still have feelings for her! So that's why you kidnapped us?”Josias puts his hand to his forehead and shakes his head, “Mr. Bento exaggerated. It wasn't meant to drag you against your will. Anyway, you only asked and didn’t answer my question, Gabriela.”“I thought I was still involved with the Mountain family as their friend.” Gabriela responds uncomfortably, “But I found out the worst possible way that I was fired. Melissa tried to dump me from the party and I could

Ingrid is stunned when she discovers that her son is not hiding at the aforementioned address.“Excuse me, ma'am...”“Mrs. Reis.” Teresa introduces herself, “I am the daughter-in-law of the late Teodoro Reis.”She points to the portrait and Ingrid nods in reverence, “I'm so sorry for your loss. But my boy is here chasing an underage young lady. I fear it could escalate into a scandal of epic proportions.”Teresa frowns. If the problem is with the underage girl, why does Ingrid call her son 'my boy'? He must be over twenty-one!“Didn’t a disheveled-looking guy in decrepit clothes stay here?” Ingrid insists.Teresa widens her eyes, “A gentleman who was over thirty years old, without documents, named John, stayed here. He cannot be your son, madam.”Ingrid has a strange feeling that this 'sir' is her mischievous son, “Well, what about this John, what is h

I found a debt-ridden doctor willing to do us both a favor.”“Will he be able to personally assist Gabriela Alves?” Vernon asks anxiously.“He doesn't guarantee that, but he can get into the archives if necessary. He is a colleague of Dr. Silvana, which increases our luck.”“Yes, if someone catches him messing with the documents, no one will suspect him.” Vernon smiles, “Congrats, son. Could it be that his debts are too high?”João Paulo sighs, “Sure, I promised to pay only the most urgent ones. What a man tang

I’ll hear you, Dad.”“Yesterday I had a problem, and today I'll have to deal with another one.” Josias replies, “Do you believe I was charged to Sergeant Oliveira?”Alan grimaces, “Urgh! What was it this time? Adrian Barbosa got out of jail and pestered you again?”Josias has a startle. He had long since forgotten the existence of his worst enemy! “Adrian, if he got out of jail, he must have gone to live with his father in Victoria. He wouldn't be here alone to face me.”“Would Seu Moacyr accept him back even after the attempted murder?”“He always had a good heart.” Josias smiles as he remembers Moacyr.“When I'm in Victoria visiting Carol, I'll want to visit them too,” Alan says with a smile.Josias nodded.

Neilton and Beto enter Café Montanha. Neilton’s helpers breathe a sigh of relief at the return of their supervisor. “We thought you got run over by that out-of-control truck!” “Not this time, Phil!” Neilton laughed as he went behind the counter. “I’m perfectly fine. I just picked up a lost box from my old apartment.” Beto pointed to the display case, where baked cheese and ham pastries mesmerized the customers. “But now you’re one of my happy tenants. Give me that pastry, please.” Neilton served the pastry but teased, “Does your wife know you’re eating cheese and ham?” “That stays between us.” Beto chuckled. He grabbed the pastry, but just as he was about to take the first bite... “ROBERTO REIS!” Beto nearly had a heart attack—figuratively—and looked toward the entrance. Josias approached him, in a good mood. “Does your wife know you’ve been sneaking pastries?” “Baked pastry, please. There’s not a drop of soybean oil in here.” Beto pretended to be offended. He just wanted to

At Crystal Blue, the patrons who show up for lunch are discussing the truck accident at the Lafayette Supermarket. Suzy walks in, finding Jake at his post as maître d’.“Jake, how are the investigations into the accident going? It’s all anyone talks about on the streets.”Jake shook his head. “They say the truck driver forgot to engage the handbrake. The truck was empty when it crashed into the wall. No one died – so far.”“What a horror.” Suzy took a deep breath, focusing on why she was there. “Has Luís arrived yet?”Felipe passes by and is startled when Suzy casually asks about Luís.“Suzy, are you going to have lunch or go out with Luís Vasquez?”Suzy turned to him, smiling affectionately. “That’s right. I need to keep him informed that I plan to invest in his uncles’ company.”“Don’t you think it would be better to talk about this with Mrs. Vasquez or Sofia Rocha?” Felipe asked, trying not to sound jealous.“I don’t think they like me; I can’t imagine why.” Suzy scratched her fore

Dylan and his men cordoned off the damaged area of the Lafayette Supermarket, ushering onlookers away before the supermarket structure harmed anyone else. The injured were transported by ambulance to General Hospital. Nadia was taken home. Thierry and Rodrigo remained nearby, answering questions.“Rod, you can go back to the cafeteria if you want,” Thierry suggested inside the management office.“I’ve been around and checked the truck. I need to give my testimony,” Rodrigo replied.Dylan entered the management office, finding the two gentlemen there.“Well, has anyone found the driver?” Dylan asked seriously.“He’s being questioned by one of your men outside,” Thierry said as he approached the blinds and pulled them back.He could see from a distance the pale and frightened truck driver, swearing his innocence while Dylan’s subordinate merely took note of what he said with an indifferent expression.Dylan broke the silence, “At most, Josias Junior will have to bear the costs.

Chapter 3165 Accident at Lafayette Supermarket
Panic and terror erupted at the Lafayette Supermarket as customers ran and screamed in desperation. Mothers carried their children, who were shrieking in fear, out of the store. The housewives who had swooned over Rodrigo were now calling their husbands, horrified, thinking it was a terrorist attack. Some people lay unconscious on the floor, blood pooling beneath them. Outside, warehouse workers were running in such frenzy. One of the trucks from Fazenda Bezerra had lost control and crashed through one of the supermarket walls. The impact was so powerful that the truck BURST through the wall, creating a deafening noise and toppling shelves filled with drinks. Customers near those shelves were knocked to the ground, with bottles of brandy, wine, and cases of beer falling on top of them. “Oh no, how HORRIBLE!” Nadia exclaimed, equally horrified. Unable to bear the tension any longer, she fainted, just as Thierry caught her in time. “I’ll check it out!” Rodrigo offered, moving clos
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

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.

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
