Building My Life Chapter 2363 I’ll Explain Why You Lost
Josias and Daryl continue their clash: Josias is always cool and calm as Daryl explodes and shakes with rage. “Why are you smiling like that?” Daryl asks through gritted teeth. “It’s because you didn’t realize where you went wrong.” Josias responds with mild disdain, “Allow me to enlighten you: you met with Ben and discussed the perks of working at Crystal Blue while you were trying to downsize my hotel, correct?” Daryl clears his throat unnecessarily, “I just told Benjamin that working at Crystal Blue would make it easier for him to be projected into the foodie market than just being an extra employee of yours at the hotel. Let’s face it, Josias: your restaurant doesn’t have the same references as mine.” “So, while I told Ben not to stress and left the decision in his hands, you did the opposite!” Josias bursts out laughing, “Why, Daryl, this is why he chose me! He felt more comfortable with me. And as for my restaurant...” Josias smiles defiantly, “Who knows, maybe the scenery d
Building My Life Chapter 2364 The Best Decision
Alan walks between the LCN editorial, with a visitor’s badge, looking for João Paulo’s desk. He observes how everyone is frantic and eager to meet their deadlines and produce that story worthy of winning the Press Trophy.Finally, he finds João Paulo at his desk frantically typing yet another article.“Uncle João Paulo, can I have a word with you?”João Paulo turns his chair and smiles at his nephew, “Alan! What is it, my comrade? Why are you wearing that flashy badge?”“That’s what the people at the entrance gave me.” Alan shrugs.“No, this is too shameful.” João Paulo chuckles as he removes the badge from Alan’s polo collar, “Tell me, what do you order?”Alan is a little embarrassed but decides to help Sofia, “I... Maybe I’m meddling with what’s none of my business. But do you know Sofia Vasquez?”João Paulo frowns slightly, “I met Miss Vasquez yesterday, at the entrance to her company, refusing to collaborate with my report.”Alan clears his throat, “Well, she showed up at my house
Building My Life Chapter 2365 Isabel Doesn’t Let Anything Go
At LCN, João Paulo calls Alan into Vernon’s office. He closes the next door.“The matter seems to be interesting and mysterious, Uncle.” Alan jokes.“Yes, it is. Something that could be so simple becomes mysterious precisely because people refuse to collaborate.” João Paulo sits in Vernon’s chair.Alan keeps standing, “What ground are we on, Uncle? If it’s some secret or dangerous matter for you to tell me...”João Paulo smiles confidently, “No, I don’t believe it will be dangerous. Do you like Sofia Vasquez?”Alan blushes a little, looking down at his feet, “She’s not indifferent to me.”“I understood.” Joao Paulo winks, “OK, Alan, brace yourself. Your friend asked if I know anything. Well, YOU were supposed to have done the question to her.”Alan widens his eyes, “Me? Should I ask if Sofia knows anything?”“Exactly.” João Paulo speaks with conviction, “Alan, I don’t want to paint Miss Vasquez as a villain, but when I saw her, I felt that she was hiding something. I was writing an ar
Building My Life Chapter 2366 Chance of Publicity
Melissa is embarrassed when she receives a letter from Kelvin Mountain.And Josias held the letter out to her with a neutral face. That means he already knows who sent her that letter...“Josias, you could have thrown it away,” Melissa speaks in a low tone so the twins don’t hear.“I want you to decide what to do with your correspondence,” Josias responds, without showing jealousy.Melissa takes a deep breath. She takes advantage of the fact that the employees haven’t come yet to open the letter and read it.But Melissa can’t read half a word. Attached to the letter is an immoral photo of Kelvin, smiling lewdly, with the line written in black pen: ‘Don’t you miss this’?”Melissa’s hands are shaking as she stuffs the contents back into the envelope, Mary standing beside her.“Is this a letter from Daddy, Mom?” she asks innocently.“Yes, daughter, I also received a letter from Daddy.” Melissa smiles nervously.“Cool!” Ignacio vibrates, “He hasn’t forgotten about us.”Josias decides to e
Building My Life Chapter 2367 Josias and His Shenanigans
At LCN, João Paulo is now talking to Vernon in his father’s office. “Dad, the strangest thing has happened.” João Paulo begins, “Alan came by, asking if I had anything to post about Vaztrans.” Vernon gasps, “Vaztrans? But you are all the time trying in vain to get something from these people!” João Paulo smiles at him, “That’s right. We had nothing to publish in my article. But it looks like there will be a sequel. Alan asked this question as a favor to Miss Vasquez.” Vernon raises his eyebrows, “Have you met her yet?” “Yes.” João Paulo smiles from the side of his mouth, “A beautiful Spanish woman, she probably takes after her mother. But she can’t be more than twenty.” “Too young for you.” Vernon was soon saying, “Leave her to Alan, she must be the same age as him.” João Paulo bursts out laughing, “Dad, I wasn’t interested in her.” Vernon wonders, “OK, I’m just checking. The fact is, you seem to have been thinking the same thing I was. This lady has realized that Alan is roma
Building My Life Chapter 2368 Heedless of Danger
At Vaztrans, Olivia kicks her husband in the leg.“OUCH!” Erasmo yells, trying not to let go of the mouthpiece of the phone, “Are you completely insane, woman?”Olivia whispers desperately, “You just called João Paulo Rocha Josias’s ‘half-brother’! Cut the ‘half’, they are BROTHERS!”Erasmo, however, rolls his eyes in impatience. He tries to resume the conversation, “Mr. Queiroz—”João Paulo has a voice louder than thunder, “Mr. Vasquez, did they ever tell you what happens to people who call me Josias’s ‘half-brother’?”Erasmo continues unabated, “I don’t believe these reports that people are buried alive in the beach sand because of this simple difference.”João Paulo is more intrigued, “You aren’t afraid of dying, as seen!”Erasmo hardens his voice, “Young man, did you hear me that we’re going to participate in the beach fashion show? Put this in your mediocre newspaper, and stop denigrating my company, you hear me?”“It’s not just beachwear—”Erasmo hung up on João Paulo. Olivia is
Building My Life Chapter 2369 What the People Decide
The next day, Josias is walking into his office, still laughing at the revenge he has wrought on Kelvin. Pollyanna finds him and thinks Josias is laughing about other things.“Yes, Mr. Rocha, preparations for the fashion show are in full swing. I’m convincing my whole family to buy a ticket.”“Well done, Pollyanna.” Josias cleverly disguises it, “Any messages?”“Someone is waiting in the attached lounge. Nadia Lafayette.”Josias raises his eyebrows. This is an interesting and unprecedented visit.“Show her to my office, Pollyanna.”“Yes, sir.”Josias enters his office. As always, the air conditioning already left the room pleasantly cool, Pollyanna’s feat. He goes to the drinks table to prepare a drink for the visitor.Nadia enters the office through the side door, just as Thierry did, “Good morning, Mr. Rocha. I hope I’m not bothering you too soon.”“No, you’re not bothering me at all, Miss Lafayette.” Josias points to the glasses, “Do you want a drink?”“I think it’s still too early
Building My Life Chapter 2370 Conflicting Assignments
In Crystal Blue, Daryl is in his office looking at what he needs to buy for his restaurant.“Well, we still have salmon. I can never stop missing it, otherwise, I’d go bankrupt, he, he.”Suddenly, Daryl received an email from Kelvin.“Hmm... How is my little brother? Has he met another girl and wants to tell me?”Daryl opens the email and reads it. Then he gets mad...On the other side, Josias is at his desk. Nadia is gone, a little dizzy from the brandy.The desk phone rings and he answers, “Yes?”“Mr. Rocha, Miss Lafayette managed to get into the taxi to return to the supermarket safely.” Pollyanna reports efficiently, “And now, Mr. Mountain needs to speak with you... Mr. Daryl Mountain.”Josias smiles broadly, “Put the call through, Pollyanna.”Pollyanna doesn’t understand Josias’s good humor but transfers the connection.On the other side, Josias’s eardrums are almost pierced by Daryl’s high-pitched voice, “JOSIAS, you pervert! How dare you?”Josias tries to hold back the giggles,

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

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
