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

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,

Daryl keeps upset in his office after the argument he had with Josias. He sent an email to Kelvin asking for explanations about the letter he sent to Melissa.But Kelvin still hasn’t answered nor admitted that he sent such a lewd letter to Melissa...Without the answer, Daryl continued to believe that Josias made it all up to mock his younger brother.“While my little brother is suffering in Victoria... The other one can’t leave him alone and has to rub his victory in Kelvin’s face. If my brother commits suicide... You’ll be finished, Josias!”Daryl punches the desk.At this moment, Diane opens the door, startled by her husband’s reaction, “Oops! Bad time?”“What is it, dear?” Daryl asks, watching Diane’s panicked facial expression.“Darling, Miss Vasquez entered the restaurant fleeing a horde of angry passengers. Can she stay here at the back of the restaurant for a while until they leave?”Daryl has a better idea. With a smirk, he replies, “Send her over here. No one will dare to br

Sofia is stunned by Daryl’s nonsensical question. Has this guy gone crazy?“Mr. Mountain, I think your grilled salmon was off.” She says looking at the door.“No, Miss Vasquez. The salmon I serve is always fresh and healthy.” Daryl smiles proudly.“Then I better go—”Sofia starts to run, but Daryl senses it and catches up with her, grabbing her by her waist, “Oh, oh, oh! None of that, you will stay here!”“LET ME GO, YOU CRAZY!” Sofia screams desperately. What is happening?“Crazy, me?” Daryl shakes her off, “Am I crazy to envision a romance between you and Alan Rocha? Isn’t that what you want?”“Who are you to speak on my behalf?” Sofia screams in Daryl’s face, making him smell her minty breath.“I know very well what is going on!” Daryl aggressively releases Sofia and she almost falls, “Vaztrans didn’t appear in the article about the neglect of public transport written by João Paulo. And now, you’re running from riders of your Dad’s buses. I can only conclude that things are not goi

The day of the Lagoon City fashion show approaches. At Marçal Publishing, Maggie is doing her best to provide extensive and complete coverage for her readers.She just finished a meeting with editors, reporters, and photographers, ironing out the last details to create the perfect article.Bernardo appears in the meeting room and finds Maggie turning on the lights, as they used a projector.“And then, dear? What did you decide?”“We’re going to postpone some articles for the next issue.” Maggie responds euphorically, “And then we’ll have half the magazine just to talk about Josias’s fashion show.”Bernardo nods, “Very well, dear. I 100% approve of the idea.”“We’re going to be able to sell a lot of magazines, aren’t we, honey?” Maggie hugs him.“Yes, we are going.” Bernardo kisses her cheek.Maggie felt the rim of Bernardo’s glasses, “You know, I still haven’t gotten 100% used to you wearing glasses. You look so...”“Nerdy?”“The word would be ‘intellectual’”. Maggie quickly corrects.

In the Teodoro building, Alan is not willing to give up the friendship (or something else) that he feels for Sofia. What is Vera talking about?“Vera, with all due respect, why don’t you trust Sofia Vasquez if this is the first time you’re hearing about her?” Alan questions her.Vera smiles calmly, “It turns out that, from what you’ve told me, I can already see that there’s something wrong with the story. Alan, could it be that Sofia was using you for information?”Alan narrows his eyes, “No, Vera, I don’t believe for a minute—”Vera cuts him off gently, “Please, Alan. You’ll be the heir to Rocha Constructions, the most famous civil construction company in Espírito Santo. You cannot afford to be deceived by women, or the company’s reputation will crumble.”“Well, I guess I learned that from watching my Dad.” Alan crosses his arms.“Therefore, I want you to watch if Sofia gets back in touch with you. If that does not happen...”“Then I’ll know she just came to me for the story,” Alan c
Building My Life Chapter 2375 William Creates Another Mess
William is walking around the Sunset Village arena facility. He decided, on his own, to see if everything was happening according to his will, rather than according to Josias and Melissa’s will.And so, as he turns down the hall toward the dressing rooms, he is shocked and dumbfounded by what he sees. Not far away, one of the doors had a sticker with the name CLÁUDIO GUZMAN.“This is nonsense! Where is the person responsible for this here?” William cries out to no one in particular.The workers are embarrassed to respond to Mrs. Rocha’s younger brother since he seemed to be frothing with rage like a hydrophobic dog.Wallace, wearing a white helmet, approaches the workers, “Keep working, people. We still have a lot to do.”The workers go back to work, confident that Wallace will solve yet another crisis at the construction site.Wallace smiles as he approaches William, “My friend, you should beware of your lack of mobility.”“You ordered a lot of ramps to be built, which facilitates ac

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. They—”The doorbell ran

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

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

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
