Building My Life Chapter 2537 Explicit Photos
In the next issue of Maggiezine, the cover showed João Paulo and Helen hugging and smiling, looking at the camera. The caption below, in bold white letters, screamed: OVERCOME! JOÃO PAULO AND HELEN ARE GETTING MARRIED AT THE ROCHA HOTEL! Below, in smaller size, was a transcribed phrase from João Paulo, “We’re not afraid.” The edition was one of the best-selling in 2005. Newsstand owners have already asked for an extra quota due to readers’ uproar. They always jostle and fight for the last copy. Bernardo kisses Maggie’s cheek while Henrique jumps for joy. “Very good, mom! You rock!” “Thank you, Henrique.” Maggie strokes her son’s hair, “You’re growing up.” “That always happens.” Henrique laughs, “Dad, are we going to win that trophy again?” “Press Trophy?” Bernardo’s eyes are shining, “Who knows, son, who knows...” The door to the CEO of Marçal Publishing’s office opens and Josias appears, in a pinstripe suit and with a bright smile, “Hello! I came to say congratulations.” Magg
Building My Life Chapter 2538 Suspicious Attitudes
Brigitte rolls her eyes when she hears Dylan react negatively to her request.“Yes, bro, I want to know about another man. I can’t marry another woman.” Brigitte turns to him in annoyance.Amoreira smiles at her daughter, “What do you want to know about him, daughter?”“I want to know what happened in his life so I can approach him appropriately.” Brigitte turns to her father with a dreamy expression, “He’s the biggest sensation at university, but he doesn’t seem to know it. The only thing I know is that he is the son of the player Will Campos, the one my mother drooled over in the 80s before she passed away.”“That is true.” Amoreira nods, having a memory of his late wife who died of cancer.Dylan scoffs, “Sis, if this guy isn’t aware of your admiration for him, couldn’t that mean something else?”“Don’t even think about it!” Brigitte turns red with anger, “At no point was it considered that Caio was ‘on the other team’. Even some friends I have confirmed that Caio is very virile and
Building My Life Chapter 2539 Time for Combat
At Rocha Hotel, everyone applauds the reopening of the kitchen. Elza, Benjamin, Flávia, and Jane are present along with all the surviving employees and cooks.Elza is with a microphone, giving a speech, “Guys, I would normally ask that we observe a moment of silence out of respect for the deceased, but we don’t know his identity. And to make matters worse, it’s suspected that he was the one who blew up the kitchen to begin with. So, let’s just thank God for those who survived and continue with our routine, serving our guests with delicious food!”“That’s right!” Everyone applauds once again.And so, with no one giving a damn about the supposed José Zenith, the cooks return to duty. Benjamin is the first to turn on the stove to fry potatoes, and when nothing happens, everyone just laughs.“We’ll never have explosions again, guys!” Benjamin vibrates.Flavia approaches them, “Careful, bro. Don’t play with luck. Continue with protective measures, and maintain vigilance. It all happened be
Building My Life Chapter 2540 Police Reinforcement
At Rocha Hotel, guests gradually returned to eating in the restaurant. Some guests were still wary and ordered room service.Benjamin was calm preparing lobster with caper sauce. Jane enters the busy kitchen talking to Octavio.“There is our sous chef, dear, working as if nothing had happened.”“But it happened, and I came to talk to you about it.” Octavio states seriously, “I haven’t told you yet, but William and I are following a lead.”“How interesting.” Jane smiles at her hubby.“We strongly suspect that Daryl has messed up yet again.” Octavio completes the news.Jane is perplexed, “Huh? Honey, the police ruled out—”“That’s the big problem: the police don’t want to see the obvious.”“Maybe the police don’t want to make Daryl think he’s being watched so he can continue to act and make a mistake in the future.” Jane tries to be optimistic.“That makes sense, but I can’t sit still, no matter how much Josias wants to.” Octavio sighs, “And there’s more: Diane is also suspecting that h
Building My Life Chapter 2541 Sisters' Quarrel
At Crystal Blue, Diane was serving customers who were getting off work to relax. The waiters who would work the night shift were arriving.Felipe and Daryl, tired from the morning’s journey, approach the counter, simulating yawns.“Jeez!” Diane laughs as she mixes martinis, “Was the drudgery so horrible today?”“Not so much, but the fact that we’ll have to live with Shirley when we return home hurts my soul,” Felipe grumbles.“She’s your grandmother, son.” Daryl drinks the drink.“Calm down people. With strength and resignation, we’ll overcome this.”Ulysses appears and smiles when he sees the family together, “Here you are. I needed to make an announcement! Diane, can you serve me the same thing?”Diane serves the drink silently and somberly, still upset about knowing that Ulysses was the mastermind behind the explosion at the Rocha Hotel.Ulysses notices Diane’s detachment, but decides to accept the drink and deliver the news, “I found an apartment for your mother, Daryl. She can mo
Building My Life Chapter 2542 An Unreal Hypothesis
The next day, the news had already spread throughout the media.Amoreira took advantage of the great distraction to continue working on the case of the Rocha Hotel explosion in secret. Vernon and João Paulo were too busy trying to cover Shirley’s suicide.However, the Mountain family was in a dilemma...Maggie was in her bathrobe in her apartment, in the living room, listening to the song “Sere Nere”, by Tiziano Ferro. A cup of steaming coffee was in her hands. Maggie was thinking about the events.Anyone who expected her to shed false tears of grief was wrong.Bernardo approaches her, already wearing a suit and black tie, “Hello, dear. Did you sleep well?”“Would it be cruel if I told you that I have never slept so well since the first day my mother accused me of being a whore?”Bernardo sits next to her, “People will be surprised if you don’t shed at least a few tears, dear.”Maggie sighs, “Anyone who knows me will find it strange otherwise. I’ll even be accused of hypocrisy, of act
Building My Life Chapter 2543 What Really Happened
At Isabel’s house, Flávia prepared a cornmeal cake quickly and simply. Isabel brewed the coffee.“Sounds like a nightmare, girl.” Isabel comments, “Tragedy always follows the Mountain family, especially on Daryl’s side.”“Meanwhile, you are increasingly happy with Francisco.” Flávia smiles at her.“That is true.” Isabel continues to smile.“I think the cake is ready.” Flávia checks the oven and turns it off.“I’m going to take the thermos. It seems like I’m hearing voices...” Isabel strains her ears, but doesn’t recognize the voice of the man who arrived.She takes the thermos to the living room. The radio is playing “Photograph” by Nickelback.Kelvin is the person talking to Francisco and Reuben.“My nephew, thank you for coming.” Francisco hugs Kelvin, “I’m so sorry.”“Thanks, Uncle Frank. Hello, Reuben. Wow, you look big!” Kelvin greets Reuben while still hugging his uncle.“It’s the gym at Rocha Mansion,” Reuben responds without realizing he quoted Josias.The hug is broken.“Kelv
Building My Life Chapter 2544 Don’t Hurry to Blame Shirley
At Café Montanha, Thierry leaves the men’s bathroom and comes across Neilton.“Mr. Lafayette? Can I have a word with you?”“Yes, you can, young man. What’s your name?” Thierry is curious.“My name is Neilton, but everyone calls me Neil. I wanted to show you something that can’t be done in public. It’s a very embarrassing picture, but it has to do with the late Mrs. Mountain.”Thierry looks back, “Look, it’s going to be weird two males in the bathroom, but if you want...”“There’s no better place, unfortunately.” Neilton also thought about how strange it would be, but the moment was urgent.Then the two men enter and close the door.Inside, Neilton takes the photo he carries with him from his jeans pocket.Thierry unfolds the photo and gets horrified, “Hey, is this...?”“It’s Shirley Mountain, the woman who racially abused me, thinking I was an ex-felon working on parole just because of my skin,” Neilton answers spitefully, “There she is, screaming in pain and pleasure, while another g

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

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.

Chapter 3140 Let’s Request a Transfer
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
