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 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

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

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
