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

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

At Crystal Blue, Daryl and Patrick continue to talk. “YOU want to quit, Pat? That is the most meaningless talk I have ever heard in my entire life.” Patrick is wide-eyed, “You have to believe me, Mr. Mountain! Your child is becoming arrogant and dangerous! Soon, even you won’t be able to control him!” Daryl refuses to believe the accusations, “My son is just reacting to years of teasing from you. Pat, if you spent your energy making peace and living peacefully with my son, we wouldn’t even have this conversation.” “OK, OK, I promise I won’t let my job down anymore when it comes to Felipe being the maître d’!” Patrick gestures and starts to sweat. “And you promise to live peacefully with my son, being friends?” Daryl raises an eyebrow. Patrick is silent for long seconds, then answers, “I need to get back to work, sir.” Patrick leaves the office and slams the door shut like he’s running away from some dinosaur. When Daryl

At the General Hospital, Cláudio is still resting in his hospital bed, attached to devices and an oxygen mask that guarantee his survival. The electrocardiogram monitor leaves doctors at ease with heartbeats at normal levels.“It’s only a matter of time before he wakes up.” The doctor who operated on him reports this to the nurses. Everyone leaves the room.In the hallway, Josias appears and addresses the team, “Good morning, doctor. How is the patient?”“He’s still the same, Mr. Rocha. Thank you for your concern. Few people come to visit him. It seems he has no relatives alive or living nearby.”“I had some boys investigate.” Josias alludes to the ‘boys’ of Tiago, “We found no living parents or brothers who live far away. I believe that Cláudio is already a guy alone in the world...”Perhaps this explains Cláudio’s eagerness to have a rel

Josias smiles like the king of the jungle while Ivan feels like a zebra subject.“OK, you already came here and showed off in front of me. Typical of narcissistic people like you.” Ivan asserts, “Now excuse me, we need...”“I won’t excuse you!” Josias exclaims, “We need to talk about what I discovered in the photos taken from the fashion show!”Amoreira is interested, “What photos, Mr. Rocha?”Josias approaches the detective, “I ordered Thierry Lafayette to take some pictures of the fashion show for me. I found the way in which he photographs and edits interesting. So he handed me an envelope, I went through them, and found something interesting in one.”Amoreira perks up, “Mr. Rocha, I also asked for some pictures of Young Mr. Lafayette and discovered something interesting.”Ivan feels lost, “Don’t tell me you two...?”Josias turns to Ivan, removes the photograph in question, and takes it out of his pocket, “It was this photo.”Ivan, against his will, stares at the photo and comes to
Building My Life Chapter 2399 One Revelation
At the police station, Josias and Amoreira come to the same conclusion about the photos. Ivan remains indisposed, because he wanted to arrest Josias for the attack, but...“Sergeant Moraes...” Josias leans towards him at the desk, “Do you now understand that Daryl Mountain was trying to KILL ME?”Ivan looks at the photographs only to avoid facing Josias completely right.Amoreira confirms his theory, “Yes, that’s what I also concluded. Mr. Mountain wanted to shoot Josias Rocha, but missed and accidentally hit Cláudio Guzman.”“And he managed to get away by getting into the middle of the mess when everyone backstage started running and pushing each other.” Josias concludes triumphantly, “If you double-check the CCTV footage at slow speed, chances are you’ll spot Daryl among the crowd.”“Yes, knowing he was there, it’s likely that I’d find him,” Ivan states with a frown.“And there is one more thing.” Josias continues, “Thierry Lafayette told me that Daryl Mountain approached him in the

Ivan and a few helpers show up at Crystal Blue just as they are about to open for midday service. Felipe, in his post as maître d’, is surprised by the unexpected visit.“Gentlemen, have you booked a table or can I help you with something?”Ivan laughs, “Look guys, he thinks we came for grilled salmon!”Ivan’s helpers burst out laughing, offending Felipe.“Sir...”Ivan shakes his head, “Are you Daryl Mountain’s adopted son?”“Yes, Felipe Mountain.” Felipe is on guard.“Come with me to the police station, boy. We need to talk about a complaint that was filed against you.”Diane observes the situation from the bar and bristles, “Hey, what’s going on here, Sergeant?”Ivan regards Diane with contempt, “The mother always wants to defend the calf, no matter how wrong he is! Thankfully, Victor will be different.”Diane comes out from behind the bar and approaches them in large strides. The other waiters are frozen in astonishment.“Let go of my son! He didn’t do anything wrong! Do you want t

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

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

Chapter 3143 Return
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
