Building My Life Chapter 2522 The Corpse Is Identified
Josias gives Reuben a ride to the Rocha Constructions headquarters. As Josias passes through the parking lot, those in the area recognize the company president’s car and wave in greeting.“I feel as important as you, uncle.” Reuben jokes.Josiah smiles too. Reuben always makes his day.The car radio was playing “Speed of Sound” by Coldplay. Reuben bobbed his head to the rhythm of the song.But when Josias finished maneuvering and fitting the car into one of the spaces, the announcer began to speak, “We regret the interruption of the program, but we have an update on the attack on the Rocha Hotel. It seems that a relative has finally arrived to identify the cook killed in the explosion! Detective Amoreira requested secrecy and the names will not be revealed for now so as not to harm the progress of the investigation. More information you will find—”Josias turns off the radio. They both get out of the car.“Uncle Josias, you should run after the information.” Reuben urges him.“I don’t

Francisco notices that Shirley is looking at Neilton as if she wants to send a message through her gaze.“Will someone tell me what happened here?” He asks seriously.“Nothing happened, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton begins to leave.But the customers weren’t going to let that go, “LIE! This crazy lady called the waiter an ex-con and slapped him!”“She’s crazy!”“Throw her out of here!”Francisco crosses his arms, “Well, Shirley, it looks like you’re not welcome here. Leave, before I kick you out.”“You would never kick the love of your life out!” Shirley exclaims, feeling entitled to be offended.Isabel enters at that time and listens to the last sentence. She is indignant and approaches the scene with long strides.“What did you call my husband? Woman, you better stop being crazy before I convince everybody to admit you to a mental institution!”Shirley smiles arrogantly at Isabel, “And on what basis can you put me in an asylum?”“You said you love Frank, but last year, we saw you kissing a

Josias is now receiving messages from Reuben.“Lisandro Torres called. In other words, his team. They want to know if you would be willing to give an interview commenting on the attack at the Rocha Hotel.”Josias smiles kindly, “Tell Lisandro Torres that I’ll be flattered. Let them decide the date of the recordings so I can attend and answer their questions.”“Wow, Uncle Josias is going to be on TV...” Reuben makes a note in his electronic diary, “Aunt Melissa wants to know if the twins can spend the weekend with their father in Victoria.”“Yes, they miss him.” Josias nods, wondering what Kelvin must be like, “But tell Melissa to check that Kelvin isn’t taking sluts to his apartment, in front of the kids. I don’t want Ignacio to become depraved.”“Noted.” Reuben nods, “Tomorrow, you have a meeting about the next real estate project that will be built in Guarapari.”“Yes, let everyone involved know. Don’t forget to call Caio.”“OK, I’m on my way.” Reuben puts the electronic diary in hi

At Rocha Mansion, João Paulo appears very early to talk to his older brother.Hector opens the door and is surprised by the visitor, “Mr. Queiroz? Why are you here? Boss Josias is waking up, probably in the shower.”“I’ll wait. I urgently need to speak to him, Hector, and I didn’t want to use my cell phone just to avoid waking him up.” João Paulo passes Hector and enters the foyer.“I recommend you wait in the living room.” Hector is confused.“Would he mind if I ate something?” João Paulo blinks, “Or has breakfast not been served yet?”“Breakfast is being served,” Hector responds as if he had to.“OK, I’ll go to the dining room.” João Paulo goes forward.Hector shakes his head.João Paulo, however, stops his steps when he passes the stairs and sees Sofia and Alan laughing and going down the steps together, arm in arm. Caroline is close behind, scowling.“ALAN!” João Paulo is horrified, “What is this? Are you and your girlfriend already sleeping together? Did my brother allow this deb

Simeon and Josias try to reach a desperate João Paulo.“Little brother, what happened?”“Josias, call our parents!” João Paulo stops at the open door and turns to them, “Helen is making a scene. It looks like Dr. Silvana decided to tell her instead of me!”“Oh, God...” Josias immediately takes out his cell phone.Hector finds everything very strange. João Paulo made a point of entering without being invited, and now he leaves when Josias wants him to stay.Josias dials Vernon’s number, “Come on, Dad, answer it!”On the other side, Vernon, Elza, and Sandra are having breakfast. In the background, the radio in the living room echoes “Lyla” by Oasis, making Sandra bob her head.“Cool music, right, granddaughter?” Vernon takes a spoonful of colorful cereal, “Look, it’s strawberry flavored. Just the flavor...”Vernon’s cell phone starts dancing on the table. Elza takes the device and answers it, “Hello?”“Mom, thank God!” Josias speaks hastily, “Dr. Silvana told Helen that their baby didn’

Elza walks through the corridors of the General Hospital in search of Helen. She finds Dora and Simeon standing in the doorway to her room.“Elza, I’m glad you’re here.” Dora smiles, “Helen is sleeping. The nurses were forced to apply some tranquilizers into her veins. She was very desperate.”“She still thought she was pregnant. Poor thing.” Elza sighs.Simeon clears his throat, “Elza, I’m sorry for the rudeness. But we had no idea that she was pregnant. As far as we knew, she was Sandra’s nanny.”“My son and Helen were spending sleepless nights in intercourse without moral restrictions.” Elza responds somewhat awkwardly, “It was just a matter of time.”“Why doesn’t your son try to do things by the book?” Simeon crosses his arms, “My God, having Sandra born out of wedlock was already a drama in his life. I thought Josias—”“Josias already explained and tried to discipline his younger brother.” Elza states, “But at the end of the day, it’s João Paulo who has to decide whether or not h

William visits Café Montanha. He coincides with finding Flávia talking to Neilton.“Neil, I know you’re about to become an adult.” Flávia advises him, “But it’s important that you make the right decisions. Next time someone insults you because of your condition or skin color, tell Izzy or Francisco. Especially when it’s that witch, Shirley Mountain.”“I don’t think she’ll come here anymore.” Neilton smiles at her.William approaches with a frown, “What did you say, Flávia? Did Shirley Mountain mistreat this orphan?”Flávia turns to her cousin and smiles, “Hi, Will. This is Neil, the boy I told you about.”“Great pleasure.” William extends his hand with a charismatic smile.Neilton is in awe, “Wow, the legendary goalscorer Will Campos!”“This has been going on for a while now...” William is amused.“Even so, your history will never be erased!” Neil states adoringly, “There are guys at the orphanage who want to be just like you.”“May God bless your plans,” William heads to a table.Nei

At Ulysses’ apartment, Shirley casually says that she came to get her things, but Adelaide and Ulysses are appalled by this.Shirley is amused by their astonished faces, “What’s wrong, guys? Are you suspecting something?”She turns to Adelaide, “Sis, you don’t mind me staying here for a few days with my brother-in-law, do you? You know, I checked out of the Rocha Hotel because no one served me well.”Adelaide composes herself, “If I know you, sister, you must have been very rude to the maids.”“I just wanted them to do their job.” Shirley shrugs, “But that’s what happens when Josias hires family and friends instead of qualified people to be personnel manager.”Adelaide stares at Ulysses, “Thank you, dear, for hosting my sister. But I believe she’ll now go to the Mountain Penthouse, where her son lives, correct?”“Yes, I don’t want to disturb the couple!” Shirley smiles widely as if she’s in a Japanese anime.Ulysses leaves the living room hurriedly, “I’ll go get your things, sister-in

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.

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

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
