Building My Life Chapter 2388 You Are Free to Leave Me
Ivan is introduced to Erasmo’s office. He glares at both Erasmo and Olivia. “Mr. Vasquez, we know you’re innocent and you didn’t kill anyone.” Ivan tries to dismiss him, “You were in the seats with your daughter, admiring the festival with binoculars, according to eyewitnesses.” Erasmo smiles with pride. The binoculars served as an alibi! “Yes, Sergeant, thank you very much for believing in my innocence! But why do you want to talk only to my wife?” “Because we know she got out of her seat right at the female models show showing off beachwear.” Olivia turns red in wrath, “I needed to check with my male models if they were ready!” Erasmo tastes like vomit on his tongue when he hears his wife talk about ‘my male models’ as if she were a Madam from a whorehouse. Just for that, he stood up, “Mr. Moraes, I am at the service of justice. If you want to question me, I’ll be at your disposal. As the conversation is with my wife, suit yourself.” “ERASMO!” Olivia whinnies in wide-eyed dis
Building My Life Chapter 2389 Interrogating Suspects
Days passed without Ivan or Amoreira discovering the author of the attack on Josias’s fashion show. However, they discover more and more about the victim, Cláudio Guzman.After leaving the hospital with a cut on his head due to the beating he received from Olivia Vasquez, Ivan, with a bandage on his forehead, was now questioning one of Quantium’s art directors.The man in his forties wearing glasses replied with a charming smile, “Cláudio Guzman, when he comes out of the coma – because he WILL, gentlemen, I believe so – will become an effective model in our agency. Isn’t that awesome?”Ivan doesn’t think it’s awesome, but he needs to dance along with the song, “Hmm... very interesting, sir. I didn’t know Quantium Studios would hire anyone.”The gentleman is nonconformist, “We aren’t talking about just anyone. Cláudio Guzman has the charisma and poise we look for in our models. He did well modeling for us, and he had success while on the runway at the Sunset Village arena. Yes, people
Building My Life Chapter 2390 Live with Mom Again
Josias smiles victoriously at Daryl, the biggest loser he’s ever had the displeasure of meeting. Not even Adrian Barbosa gave him such disgust...“Daryl, there was a time when we were friends.” Josias reminds him.“That was before you lusted after my brother’s wife!” Daryl yells, “Did you know he didn’t attend the festival?”“It’s his loss.” Josias shrugs, “The entire Espírito Santo watched. The LCN audience went through the roof.”“The audience went wild because everyone wanted to see Cláudio Guzman bleeding like a pig, unconscious on the catwalk!” Daryl yells, “People want to see controversy on TV, man!”“Then Kelvin shouldn’t have lost the attraction.” Josias comments jokingly, heading to the drinks table, “Want a drink?”“I never know if you’re going to put cyanide in when my back is turned.” Daryl declines the drink with a gesture.“It was enough to say ‘no’.” Josias pours himself a whiskey, “Well, to answer your question, no. The businessmen who donated and helped me with the fa
Building My Life Chapter 2391 Amoreira is Interested
Reuben is surprised at the possibility of moving in with his mother. He clears his throat and starts expressing his doubts.“Guys, I don’t mean to be rude. But, would that be the best idea? I’m turning eighteen next year, and I intend to marry Caroline. My mom can get in the way of the process, don’t you think?”Isabel takes her grandson’s hand, “Reuben, we believe your mother will need help and support. She was a long time without having your coexistence. At least, while you’re still engaged to Caroline, you can live here or somewhere else.”“Don’t you think it would be better for her to live here?” Reuben looks around.“We don’t know how she’s going to react to living back in Green Park.” Francisco says, “We can invite her to live here as a test. If she adapts, she can choose another house. The fact is, she’s going to want to be independent, and it’s up to you, Reuben, to decide whether you move in with her or not.”Reuben still has doubts, “People say I’m a lot like my father. What
Building My Life Chapter 2392 What Josias Didn’t Do
At Crystal Blue, Josias is smiling mysteriously, waiting for William to confess to his fashion show antics instead of him bringing up the subject.William continues to stare at the menu without choosing a dish, “Hmm... Melissa told me something that intrigued me.”“What she said?” Josias asks, holding back from laughing.“She said you didn’t do anything to fix the shame that was laid down by Mrs. Vasquez.” William continues to stare at the menu, “No wonder the Vaztrans company is in dire straits.”“Vaztras is run by her husband.” Josias corrects William.William doesn’t give up and looks up, “I imagine she must opine and poke her nose into everything, undermining Mr. Vasquez’s authority as employer and husband. Anyway, she must have had a hard time when Rodrigo found out, huh?”Josias pretends to jump on William’s bandwagon, “I don’t know, Will. I went backstage and saw that the Claudio Guzman sticker was still there. Afterward, I saw Rodrigo getting ready and being made up in the com

Josias trips over his desk, causing his computer monitor to wobble, and some personal objects to fall. He drops his glass of whiskey, shattering to the floor with an ominous crash.Ivan just faces Josias’s shocked reaction with a victorious smile, envisioning the arrest warrant that he will have edited to drag Josias to the joint.Josias is careful not to step on the shards and turns to Ivan, “What kind of bad joke is this, dude?”“DUDE?” Ivan breaks the smile and is outraged, “You never manage to keep your composure, eh, Mr. Rocha?”Josias doesn’t care, “I want to know how you consider me a suspect, and then ask the suspect if he had the victim killed, hoping I’d answer ‘yes’!”Ivan shrugs, “Sometimes we ask that question just to get a reaction.”Josias rages upon realizing he’s fallen for the trap, “Hey, the fact that I reacted with surprise—”“It means you are to blame.” Ivan completes with a provocative smile.“I had my back to Cláudio Guzman!” Josias screams.“I know.” Ivan cross
Building My Life Chapter 2394 That’s What Friends Are For
Josias now receives Raymond in his office. Both hug each other fervently.“Ray, I haven’t had a chance to speak to you one-on-one during the fashion show yet. I’m sorry, but I’ve been very busy.” Josias apologizes.The hug is broken, and Raymond comments, “Don’t feel guilty. I imagine that your routine became more tumultuous after the terrorist attack. So, any clues?”“Yes, we have a clue!” Josias goes to the drinks table to make Raymond a drink, “I’m the prime suspect, according to the police station!”Raymond’s jaw drops, “It can’t be! Josias, you had your back to the model!”“Well, you know, they think I hired the guy so I wouldn’t get my hands dirty.” Josias hands Raymond a glass of brandy.“This is ridiculous. I read everything about Cláudio Guzman. He gave you a headache in 2001 concerning Katherine and J.J.’s deaths. He’s the one who might try to kill you, not the other way around!”“Exactly!” Josias goes to the desk, “But don’t worry about it. I’m under the protection of God,
Building My Life Chapter 2395 Examining the Photos
At Rocha Constructions, it’s Thierry’s turn to visit Josias. The young photographer hands over the envelope that Daryl has been eagerly coveting.Josias takes the envelope and removes the contents. He looks at the pictures with pleasure and interest.Afterward, he looks at Thierry and notices the uneasiness in his face, “Is there a problem, Thierry? Don’t you want to sell me the pictures?”“I’d give you the pictures for free.” Thierry responds, “The problem is, I ran into Mr. Mountain, and he wanted the pictures too.”“Mr. Daryl Mountain?” Josias is startled.“Yes.” Thierry pours himself a drink, “He got more excited as soon as I said the pictures were for you.”Josias chuckles, “Don’t worry about the imbecile. He only asked you to buy the pictures because he knew they were for me.”Thierry takes a sip of whiskey, “It’s not like that, Mr. Rocha. This isn’t the first time Mr. Mountain has asked me for pictures of you. The first time, he asked for a picture of your son dancing with Miss

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
