Building My Life Chapter 2400 Why Josias Wasn’t Shot
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
Building My Life Chapter 2401 Two Returns
2004Another new year for Josias. He pulls back the master suite curtains, scarcely able to believe that God has been merciful in giving him a full and satisfying life.He smiles as he looks down to see his gardeners carefully tending the grass and flower beds. Melissa always has a strong opinion about flowers.He looks around and sees the beachfront skyline of Sunset Village slowly being taken over by mansions just as fabulous as his. Sunset Village became synonymous with elegance and refinement, and those reaching the same level wanted to show off their status in this exclusive neighborhood.Josias looks back and sees his beloved Melissa sleeping peacefully in the double bed. A little longer, and they would be legally married. Rumor has it that Kelvin has already found another girl, but these are rumors...Melissa turns to the left and starts to wake up. Josias hurries over and places a kiss on her lips.“A good morning kiss.” He declares gallantly.Melissa opens her eyes and smiles
Building My Life Chapter 2402 Talking Too Much
Josias goes to General Hospital and meets with Dr. Braggart.“Dr. Braggart. I hope I’m not disturbing you.”Dr. Braggart chuckles and holds out his hand, “I wish you were the one to bother. I just kicked out a horde of interview-hungry reporters. If your father or brother wants to come here, they are welcome.”Josias laughs, “Thanks for the exclusivity, but if someone from Maggiezine comes, let them in too.”“OK, noted. Do you want to see the patient?”“Yes, if possible.” Josias looks through the bedroom windowpane.Claudio is awake, looking at the ceiling. He notices someone entering and turns to see who it is.Dr. Braggart announces, “Cláudio, you have visitors. I hope everything is alright.”Claudio nods slowly. Josias faces the doctor and he withdraws.When closing the door, Josias faces Claudio, “Hello, Claudio. Glad to see you more willing. I hope you can help me.”Claudio still doesn’t say anything, maybe because he’s weak, maybe because he doesn’t want to talk to Josias.Josia

At the hospital, Josias and Ivan decide not to discuss the matter with Cláudio. But Cláudio has already heard a lot.He shifts on the bed, “Daryl Mountain... Daryl shot me...”“Calm down, Mr. Guzman, we are still investigating this!” Ivan despairs, “This is your entire fault, Josias Rocha! Let’s get out of here, we can’t let the patient get excited!”“Just now you worry about it?” Josias turns to Claudio, “We’re very sorry, Claudio. Recover, and try not to think about it.”Claudio takes a deep breath. It will be almost impossible not to think after they say that well-known people tried to kill him!Josias and Ivan leave the convalescent’s room and pass by Dr. Braggart.“And then?”“Doctor, we decided to let the patient rest.” Ivan says in an apologetic tone, “We’ll come back another day.”“Thanks, I’ll take a look at him.” Dr. Braggart walks away.Ivan was about to neigh some more, but Josias’s cell phone rang and he answers it, ignoring the sergeant, “Hello?”On the other side, Melis

At the hospital, Rodrigo and Nadia visit Cláudio to find out how he is doing, without any hard feelings.Cláudio smiles when he sees the two of them, especially Nadia.“Claudio, don’t try hard.” Nadia asks, worried, “We came to visit you because we heard that you’re better.”Claudio nods. Speaking is still difficult for him.“Cláudio, I’m very sorry for what happened.” Rodrigo states, “I know you have every reason to think that I was the one who shot you. We got into a fight over the dressing room and I got really upset.”Claudio starts to shake his head.“I know, it was stupid.” Rodrigo continues, “But I want to tell you that I had nothing to do with that, man. I wouldn’t want to kill you over a dressing room!”Nadia nudges Rodrigo, “Honey, I think Claudio is trying to say something.”“Yes, buddy?” Rodrigo pays attention.“It was... It was...” Claudio forces his throat and vocal cords, “Daryl Mountain... Daryl...”Rodrigo widens his eyes, “Daryl? But it was Daryl who told me about th

The city is growing bigger and bigger, passing 300,000 residents and reaching the 400,000 population milestone. They say that a rural district called Vale do Cajá will be integrated into the city and receive urban improvements.Josias smiles as he is part of the city’s growth. He has grown along with it.As he entered the sidewalk, Josias was tempted to go around the back and turn off the restaurant’s electrical supply just to frighten them. But he resisted the prank and decided to enter through the front door.Upon opening the door, Felipe is the first to see him, “Mr. Rocha! Good morning. How can I help you?”Josias smiles gently, “It’s funny. You like me, Felipe, but your father tried to kill me.”Felipe keeps his smile, “Well, I respect you as a
Building My Life Chapter 2406 Daryl Hides Stuff From His Wife
Josias and Daryl are face to face, staring at each other with distrust and resentment.Daryl decides to break the awkward silence, “How did you hear about that?”“Does that really matter? I fear you’ll want to kill the person responsible.” Josias crosses his arms.“I can only conclude that it was Rodrigo.” Daryl shakes his head, “I didn’t know he would gossip.”“He didn’t tell me to cause gossip!” Josias vehemently asserts, “He was feeling guilty because he thought that Claudio would blame him for the shot when he recovered his health.”“Oh, I see.” Daryl smiles devilishly.“But Rodrigo wasn’t the one who fired the shot, right?” Josias leans forward, “We know that he and Claudio disagreed about the dressing room.”“Yes, I don’t know why Mrs. Vasquez did it.” Daryl winks evilly, “Or

Josias enters the company making an effort to greet his employees in the same way.

Is it true that you’re gonna get engaged to Ritchie?”Pollyanna nods proudly, “Yes, Mr. Rocha.

Mrs. Freire telephoned just now to let me know.” Pollyanna informs him.Josias feels happy again, “I know why. Let him in as soon as he arrives, Pollyanna, no matter what

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?

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

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
