At Crystal Blue, the people in the restaurant got the biggest fright.
As night shift waiters prepared for service, cooks made the mise en place, and Daryl and Diana chatted at the bar, all the lights went out.
Felipe screamed in fright, “YAU! It’s Armageddon!”
“Calm down, people, it was just a power outage!” Daryl takes charge, “Light candles and lanterns while the electricity company fixes this.”
Diane looks at the windowpane, “Honey, I don’t think it’s an electricity company repair. Look.”
Daryl also looks at the windowpane and finds, to his surprise, that the streetlights are still on.
He goes outside the restaurant and notes that there’s still power in the other buildings... in the entire city, except Crystal Blue.
“But what is going on here?” Daryl returns inside, “Anyone looking at us like that will think we didn’t pay the electricity

“What?” Teresa is shocked, “Aren’t we going to have dinner? No power in the restaurant? What happened, Pat?”“I don’t know! All I know is that I spun in my heels like Michael Jackson and came back. I’m going to watch a basketball game and go to bed early, he, he—”Wallace retorts, “Pat, you were invited! But you were out until now?”Patrick mockingly states, “Oops! I didn’t even mean to tell you, but since that’s the case: I don’t want to go to dinner anymore.

Building My Life Chapter 2250 An Accident Becomes a War
In the Mountain Penthouse, Daryl balled up the LCN newspaper and threw it over the balcony with uncontained fury.“CURSE!” He exclaims fiercely, “How dare she? How did this information reach the newspapers so quickly?”Diane and Felipe approach him.“Father, don’t be angry.” Felipe asks, “According to what I’m learning in Informatics, the Internet makes news circulate quickly. A mouse click is enough, and information is forwarded to dozens or hundreds of contacts!”“How horrible.” Daryl sits in the armchair, sinking his hands on his head, “It was with this modernity that Gabriela was photographed acting as Josias’s girlfriend. She is now taking revenge for writing that demeaning article.”Felipe widens his eyes, “Father, were you or Mother responsible for those photos?”“No, son, we swear we don’t!” Diane exclaims, “W

He patiently waited for Tiago’s ‘boys’ to come with Gabriela.They were in a secluded corner of the beach, and another guy from Tiago had taken off his suit, tie, and shirt, and was in a hole, digging it deeper with a shovel.Tiago observed the depth of the pit and asked, “Master, is it all right for you?”Josias realized that he could barely see Tiago’s helper’s head, just the shovel and sand coming out, “That’s enough.”Tiago extends his hand and helps the helper out of the pit.The limousine pulls up and stops at the start of the sand.Josias is amused to see how the three security guards struggle to drag an unwilling Gabriela to them.“NO, NO, NO!

Tiago is there, present and somber. His hand tucked inside his suit made Alan wonder if he was holding a gun.Josias opens the door and the three gentlemen enter.Gabriela is leaning against the headboard, eating a breakfast consisting of strawberry jelly and raspberry flan. On the bedside table is a steaming cup of coffee.“We are ready, Gabriela,” Josias announces.“Dad, what is she doing here?” Alan wonders, “Won’t that get us into trouble?”“On the contrary, son. Finally, we’re looking for solution
Building My Life Chapter 2254 More Truths Coming to Light
At Rocha Mansion, Josias, Tiago, and Alan continue to listen to Gabriela and her confessions.But Gabriela keeps looking at Tiago’s hand, “Is he holding a gun under his suit?”Josias gestures, “Don’t mind Tiago. Focus on me, tell me everything you know, like you promised.”Gabriela feels tremors and decides to continue, “OK. After I was beaten and taken to the hospital, I obviously resented Katherine’s assault on me and vowed revenge.”Josias interrupts her, annoyed, “Here’s another mistake of yours. Why did you need to seek revenge? Don’t you see, Gabriela? This is where things got worse! I could very well force Kate to apologize, but you have lost your reason for wanting to reciprocate in kind.”Gabriela retorts, “But your dear wife blew up the peace pact when she invaded Isabel Freire’s autograph session and assaulted Maggie.”“Then that&

At Rocha Mansion, the controversial talk between Josias and Gabriela continues.“Gabriela, don’t take me for a fool.” Josias raises his index finger, “You claim that you had no part in the photographs and the anonymous e-mail, but it was precisely this action that helped you to carry out the plan: Kate filed for divorce and went to Boston, dying on the high seas along with my son.”Gabriela despairs, remembering the grave dug in the sand on the beach, “I swear, Josias... I met you by chance. I enjoyed the moments when you fed pizza in my mouth as if we were dating. But I wasn’t posing for any photographer. That was a terrible coincidence.”“Yeah, but it served your purposes.” Josias somberly concludes, “Next, Melissa appeared in front of me wanting to confess to the plan, but then backtracked. So...”Alan is startled and asks angrily, “Hey, you mean my mom going to Victoria&mdas

I’ll have to breathe carefully.”“Only for now. I’ll send a nurse to give you a pain reliever.”Beto was nearby, “Thanks, doc. Looks like if it weren’t for Josias’s secretary, the friend here could have something worse.”“How strange, I didn’t expect the people of Mr. Rocha was of this violent strain. OK, I need to see other patients.”Doctor Braggart retires.Daryl looks at Beto gratefully, “Roberto, I appreciate you taking me here.”“You don’t have to thank me.” Beto gesture
