Building My Life Chapter 2458 Thanks for the Help
Josias is surprised by Felipe and Patrick fighting at the entrance to the most exquisite restaurant in Lagoon City.“What do you two think you’re doing?” He approaches them, “Did Claudio Guzman approve of this altercation?”“No, he doesn’t even know that,” Felipe complains.Patrick smirks, “Actually, he knows and he sentenced us to change.”Felipe turns to Josias, “Mr. Rocha, look what you’ve caused! I was the maître d’, but Mr. Guzman decided to have that imbecile replace me without notifying me in advance.”Josias crosses his arms, “And you would have obediently accepted being demoted?”“NO!” Felipe roars, “It’s because of attitudes like these that I doubt that model will give me back the restaurant when I want to assume my inheritance.”“He will. I’ll be around to make sure of it.” Josias asserts decisively.“And may your homicidal father not make another fuss.” Patrick teases.Insulted, Felipe walks away into the restaurant.Josias shakes his head, “Now, THAT wasn’t cool, Pat. Wha
Building My Life Chapter 2459 How to Explain to the Son?
At the Mountain Penthouse, Felipe is talking to Diane about his new situation.“Mom, I don’t know if I’ll accept this for long.” He sits on the sofa, “Mr. Cláudio replaced me as maître d’ without telling me, and he just replaced me with Patrick, who now feels like the king of Egypt!”“Your father can talk to him.” Diane tries to lighten the situation.“I don’t know if that would do any good. They both hate each other.” Felipe frowns, “Damn it, why did Mr. Rocha have to do something like that?”Diane narrows her eyes at her son. She sits down next to him and asks in a motherly tone, “Felipe, what’s going on? Don’t you like Josias Rocha anymore?”Felipe looks at his mother, and she is startled by the ferocity she finds in her son’s gaze.“How am I supposed to like him, Mom? I don’t want to have anything to do with the Rocha family anymore. They’re indeed nice and kind, but if you let them down, they get overly cruel!”Diane gets up from the couch. She still doesn’t know how to express w
Building My Life Chapter 2460 My Dad Isn’t a Drug Addict
At the Rocha Hotel, Josias approaches Shirley as if he were walking on slippery ground, and beside him, there is a canyon. If Josias wasn’t careful, he could slip and fall into the abyss.Shirley notices this and mocks the businessman, “You can approach me without fear. I don’t bite.”“You do worse things than bite.” Josias retorts somberly. He stops some distance away from the old woman, “Tell me what you want.”“I want you to stop, just stop, with this ridiculous war as if you two were bigwigs from the underworld.” Shirley crosses her arms, “My son isn’t a bad person. That’s why he only loses to you. You’ve changed, Josias, and I wonder if that’s due to the bad influence of the Bento family.”“No one from the Bento family is around anymore, except Elisa Neves who is my neighbor.” Josias responds with some mockery, “You’re delusional, Shirley. Wouldn’t it be better for you to talk to your son and convince him that he shouldn’t go around with guns, shooting people?”“I don’t need to t
Building My Life Chapter 2461 The Articles Bother General
The next day, Caio is reporting to William the conversation he had with João Paulo. Both are in William’s living room, on the couch.William was smearing some cream on his left leg, “WHAT? He admitted he was nervous because I condemned him for indecency on Sunset Village beach? And what does João Paulo want me to do? Give him a badge for good behavior? If Josias finds out what his little brother is up to—”“That’s the question, Dad: shouldn’t Uncle Josias know about it?” Caio interrupts him, “Uncle João Paulo already has Sandra as a lesson. Yes, I admit that at the moment I went after him and had fun with the beauties. But, since you’re so displeased...”William pats his son on the head, “I just want a different future for you son.”“And I’m having it!” Caio smiles, “I love studying at the university, and Mr. Motta is thinking of showing me some things. One of the architects is being integrated into the Belo Horizonte office and with that, a vacancy has appeared for me.”“Yes, I’m awa
Building My Life Chapter 2462 Knowing Better
Teresa notices that Beto is grimacing in pain.“Honey, is your heart hurting again? Do you want some medicine? Do you want to go to the doctor?”Before, Teresa would ask these questions in a desperate tone, but as she now knows her husband’s condition, she is speaking as if she were a mother coaxing her son.Beto takes a deep breath and relieves himself, “It was just a scare, dear. But indeed, it’s almost time to take another pill. I think all this emotion of my little sister leaving...”“Yes, we need to take it slow. She asked me to let you know if anything happens.”Beto smiles, “She’s probably still unpacking and unboxing things in her new house. Let’s let her get settled in first.”Teresa smiles at him, calmer. She goes to the counter drawer and takes out the pill pack, “So, shall we buy the computer?”“Yes, let’s go, I want to leave things more modern for when Pedro takes over the building.” Beto takes the card, nodding.******At the Mountain Penthouse, Daryl enters Felipe’s roo
Building My Life Chapter 2463 Vomiting Contempt
At Rocha Constructions, Josias comments about Rosemary not being Beto’s daughter as if he knew the truth, but he still doesn’t. Still, the mere mention made William momentarily tense.“Really? Jeremiah wasn’t that annoying guy who stalked you and worked at the auto repair shop with my Dad?”“Yes, the rapist who was lynched.” Josias hides that it was Tiago’s ‘boys’ who did it, “But Beto assumed paternity just in time to avoid Wallace trying again with Pamela. It even seems like it was scripted.”William decides to change the subject before he can’t take it anymore and confesses everything, “So, Josias, I came here to talk about another subject. If you’re not interested, you can dismiss me.”Josias takes a sip of the brandy and smiles. When has he NOT been interested in helping his protegés?“Tell me, Will.”“It’s about the articles your brother is doing. I could very well leave you in the dark and repeat one of my wars. But this time, I want to do something different. Did you read the
Building My Life Chapter 2464 Maybe We Should Speak the Truth
At Crystal Blue, Diane sees Daryl about to strangle Patrick. She decides to act.“Pat, I know the chat is good, but we need to work. And you, please, don’t say that nonsense as if I don’t care. I’m Felipe’s adoptive mother and I don’t want him to leave the restaurant.”“OK, I’m just making it clear that my anger isn’t with you or Mr. Mountain. It’s not your fault if you adopted a crazy person who thinks he was mistreated by me somewhere in the past. Excuse me.”Patrick retreats and sees Daryl behind him. But instead of feeling intimidated, he smiles cheekily.Daryl approaches the bar, “Honey, you should have broken one of the glasses over the idiot’s head!”“How could I do such a thing?” Diane gasps, “I’m thankful you didn’t use the gun.”“Thanks to Sergeant Moraes, I had my revolver confiscated and I probably won’t get another weapon even if I bought it on the black market.” Daryl grumbles, “But why does Patrick insist on hating our son like that?”Diane takes a deep breath, tired of
Building My Life Chapter 2465 Exaggerated Journalism
João Paulo appears at Rocha Constructions and goes to his older brother’s office.“Hi, bro! Where’s Pollyanna?” João Paulo tries to be friendly, but inside, he is aloof, aware of what Josias wants to talk about.“Pollyanna and Ritchie have been transferred to Belo Horizonte. They’re getting married and I facilitated their union. Reuben will be my replacement.” Josias announces dryly.João Paulo swallows hard. There is a faint stain on his neck, “Anyway, our mother said you wanted to talk to me.”“I’m not even going to touch on the subject of Will Campos for now.” Josias begins to speak coldly, “Let’s talk about you being taken to the hospital, almost dead from strangulation.”João Paulo sits on the couch, “I understand you’re upset, bro.”“You understand I’m INDEED upset, but you don’t understand WHY?” Josias questions him, “Well, I’ll answer you. There was a time when you despised our father because he was behaving the same way you are now.”João Paulo swallows hard, “Josias, I assur

Chapter 3210 Josias Junior in Action
At Vaztrans, William questioned Sofia about the company’s finances, which are now in order since her parents stopped interfering.“Uh, I think the explanation is simple. With my father no longer here, we don’t have that urge to prove we’re always the best public transportation company in the city.” Sofia sat face to face with him. “I remember my father would always freak out when people mocked the old bus models we had.”“Yeah, and he would waste money buying expensive buses that we couldn’t afford to maintain.” William accepted this explanation for now. “So, Sofia, you wouldn’t be offended if I said your father was just playing at being a manager?”Sofia made a face. “My father managed Vaztrans since its inception. I’m here to continue his legacy.”“I know you’ll do a good job.” William leaned back in his chair. “I just want us to keep things this way now that we’re in control.”Sofia crossed her arms. “Great. I hope that doesn’t mean any insinuation on your part – or from that littl
Chapter 3209 Time to Look for Other Girls
Vaztrans, morning. Brand new buses come in and out of the garage, with drivers and fare collectors smiling in their new uniforms. In William’s office (which used to belong to Olivia), he scratched his forehead while researching and checking the financial spreadsheets. Sofia, greeted like a diva by the staff, entered the office. “Good morning to you too! Have a good day at work!” She approached the desk. “Good morning, Will! What’s with that long face?” “I’m not making a long face. I’m making a face of someone who doesn’t understand this accounting,” William replied, still looking at the monitor. “What’s the problem? Are we broke again?” Sofia’s eyes widened. “No.” William finally looked at her, with a mischievous smile. “We have so much slack that we could pay off one of the installments of the loan we took from Josias if we wanted to.” Sofia continued with wide eyes. “Oh, that’s incredible, right?” William kept smiling. “Sofia, you’re not getting my astonishment. The point is
Chapter 3208 A Night in the Cell to Reflect
At Rocha Constructions, Josias and Alan faced a dilemma: should they start a war against the Borges brothers? Thierry noticed their initial hesitation. “If it’s too much for you two, forget it. J.J. and I will manage on our own. Maybe Daryl can help us.” The mention of Daryl made Josias react, “Wait a minute, Thierry. We never said we wouldn’t help you. On the contrary, I feel the same way: that truck was deliberately sent against the supermarket to cause that accident.” “Yeah, a way to force J.J. to choose between focusing on the farm or on Vasconcelos. No one but the Borges brothers was interested in that.” Thierry smiled slightly. “The problem is we have no proof.” Josias put his hands in his pockets. “The truck was on the street, there are no surveillance cameras nearby.” Alan asked, “But J.J. decided to stay with Vasconcelos, right?” “Exactly. That was our way of getting back at them.” Josias nodded. “So, our only form of investigation will be to observe how Reynaldo Borges
Chapter 3207 The Law Must Be Obeyed
Just out of spite, David was taken to the Happiness Slum police station, where Dylan was now interrogating him and pressing him against the wall. David was shaking while handcuffed, thinking he might have a chance to escape. “What is going on here? LET ME GO! This station is not equipped to handle my problems!” Dylan sat at the desk, keeping one of his subordinates nearby, standing by the door. “Oh really? It just so happens that it’s the opposite: Commissioner Tavares said he doesn’t want to see your face at the headquarters!” David was horrified by the remark. “What does that mean? We can’t allow such abuse! Call my dad immediately!” Dylan, grinning with delight, leaned back in his chair. “Mr. Souza, it was your father who ordered us to remove you from the Rocha Constructions building.” “That’s IMPOSSIBLE! My dad never ordered Alan’s arrest!” “Isn’t it because Alan Campos Rocha has never given the police any reason to detain him?” Dylan asked ironically. “And on what charges
Chapter 3206 Is Daniela Pregnant?
At the management office of Lafayette Supermarket, Thierry was signing a fat check for a member of the Cintra family. The man, who was the victim’s brother, was staring at everyone with disdain and arrogance. “You have to understand that we can no longer shop at this supermarket, right?” he kept saying. “My poor brother used to come here because the wine prices were cheaper, but now... we’re going to have to resort to the little store closer to home, even if it costs more!” Nadia was outraged. “Mr. Cintra, don’t be arrogant!” Mr. Cintra raised his chin at Nadia. “I can sue you for this too, you know?” “No, you can’t,” Thierry emphasized, tearing the check from the invoice and hastily extending it to him. “Take it and get out of our sight!” “You are in the wrong and still want to play the victim!” Mr. Cintra simply felt entitled to cluck. “Thank goodness my brother didn’t die! Otherwise, we would tear this crappy supermarket down! It was much better when the Ramos family ran this
Chapter 3205 At the Height of Despair
The next day, Daniela was talking to Dr. Matthew Hogan at General Hospital. “Alright, Daniela,” he said with a smile. “I hope we don't find anything serious in your tests.” “Could I... be pregnant?” Daniela asked in a whisper. Talking to Matthew inevitably reminded her of Silvana Hogan, his mother and a famous obstetrician. “My mother is now retired and enjoying the Bahamas,” Matthew said kindly. “If your test results indicate you’re expecting, we’ll refer you to the appropriate department.” “Thank you so much, Dr. Hogan!” Daniela extended her hand, and Matthew shook it. A few moments later, Daniela was walking through the corridors, thinking about the possibility of being pregnant. She even placed her right hand on her belly, already imagining herself carrying the heir of the Reis family. She smiled mischievously as she recalled the countless nights of passionate love where Pedro ravaged her mercilessly, only stopping when the alarm rang the next morning. How could she not
Chapter 3204 Someone is Not Feeling Well
Melissa worried about her parents' objection regarding the twins getting involved with their paternal family. "Mom, Dad, I understand your concern." Melissa broke the silence. "But in a way, they're right. I don't have the right to completely cut them off from Kelvin. Besides, they have another little brother." Dora looked at her wristwatch. "At this hour, Mary must be in the penthouse, keeping an eye on Anthony." "Oh, did they say they were going to do that?" Melissa smiled slightly. "Yes, someone texted them asking for it. Probably Kelvin," Simeon replied seriously. Dora explained, "Daughter, let's hope Daryl doesn't take advantage of the closeness to poison our grandchildren's minds." Melissa was alarmed. "What are you saying, Mom? I won't allow that!" "No, I know you won't allow it." Dora frowned. "That's why I hope you visit Kelvin and set some boundaries." "If I bring this up, I'll unintentionally be starting a stupid war," Melissa retorted. "They know their boundaries.
Chapter 3203 Long-Term Consequences
At Rocha Constructions, Sofia is eager to prove that she was right all along about Suzy. She leaned back against Alan again, wanting information. "Dear, before we were interrupted, you were saying something about me being right to be suspicious of Suzy Cogo. I knew that smartass was planning something!" Alan scratched the back of his neck. "I feel like she was the one Everaldo mentioned in the prophecy." Sofia's eyes lit up. "That's true! Suzy is the only one investing out there! Do you think she will want a slice of Rocha Constructions?" "I sincerely hope my dad doesn't agree to sell any shares. I won't do that. Better warn Caio." Alan became serious. "Well, I'll have to put up with her at Vaztrans." Sofia sighed, feeling discouraged. Alan turned to his wife with curiosity. "Speaking of which, dear, we haven't heard any news about Vaztrans being in trouble this year. Did you finally manage to control the spending?" Sofia looked confused. "Uh, I don't know what you're talking a
Chapter 3202 No Evidence, No Investigation
Sofia reacted, obviously pleased, when none other than her husband stated that she was right.Unable to resist any longer, she sat on Alan's lap and delivered THAT delicious, passionate kiss.When the kiss ended, Alan was perplexed, eyes wide."What was that for?" He asked, lost."You silly!" Sofia began to laugh. "This is your reward for believing in me. And tonight, you'll have another reward that's under my panties—"The last phrase was clearly heard by Caio, who was opening the door at that moment.Sofia quickly bounced off Alan's lap, trying to disguise the intimacy. Caio blushed slightly, smiling awkwardly.Alan smiled nervously. "Wow, everyone decided to start early in 2012! Good morning, cousin."Caio avoided looking at Sofia. "Good morning, cousin. Do we have any updates regarding our annual meeting?""My dad appointed me president – again." Alan's cat-like grin indicated that he wasn't complaining. "And we'll have all the important people, just like last year."Caio's face g
