At Rocha Constructions, Josias meets with Adelaide.The door opens and Reuben leads her inside, “Uncle Josias, the person you were waiting for has arrived. This way, Mrs. Cardozo.”After the door closes, Adelaide approaches Josias with an elegant smile and wearing a sober, graphite-colored suit.Josias stands up and greets the lady. “Mrs. Cardozo...”“I need to marry Hilton soon to change this surname.” Adelaide jokes.“Sit down.” Josias smiles at the joke and indicates the sofa. With his left hand, he points to the drinks table, “Would you like a drink?”“No, thank you. I look forward to hearing what you have to propose.”Josias sits on the other sofa. “How are things at Cardozo Perfumes?”“They’re fine.” Adelaide keeps her smile.“I was wondering if by chance...” Josias smiles like a lynx, “You would need support. Do you know, Mrs. Cardozo, that I helped Vasconcelos Fabrics when the majority partner was also involved in personal scandals? The company continues to prosper to this day
Building My Life Chapter 2617 Forced Peace
At Rocha Constructions, Josias feels offended by Erasmo asking if he wants the marriage between Alan and Sofia as if the answer was negative.“Erasmo, I want this marriage. I believe that Alan and Sofia love each other and deserve happiness. If my daughter Carol can make the situation easier, that would be ideal for everyone. I’m fighting like hell to get the two of them to understand each other, but now you’re telling me that your daughter has decided to be problematic too. And you come to ask ME if I still want the wedding?”Erasmo swallows hard and tries not to lose his poise, “Then let’s arrange for the two of them to talk and make up. I don’t want my daughter to lose her boyfriend because of this.”“Alan has every right to be angry. And it’s now clear that my daughter had nothing to do with the photo. Can we bury this matter?”“For sure. I already buried it.” Erasmo smiles yellowly.“Then let’s toast.” Josias grabs a glass of brandy.Both gentlemen toast the union of their childr
Building My Life Chapter 2618 Josias’s Business Plan
The next day, Erasmo received a call from Josias while he was still sleeping. The cell phone rang, disturbing the Vasquez couple who expected the alarm to ring an hour later.“Argh, darling, who dares to disturb our sleep?” Olivia complains, rubbing her eyes, “Just when we get tangled all night long...”Erasmo was so tired from the amorous and turbulent activity that he hadn’t even put on his pajamas. He answered, yawning at the same time, “Hellooooo...”On the other side, contrasting with the sleeping couple, Josias was already in the office of his mansion, dressed in his microfiber suit, with a stern expression, “Erasmo, good morning. Tell Sofia that I want her in my office at nine in the morning sharp.”“Couldn’t you call her directly?” Erasmo complains.“Would she answer my call?” Josias responds, “Please, pass on the message.”“OK...” Erasmo felt that Josias had already hung up, “Josias wants our daughter to show up at the office at 09:00 sharp. It must be to make peace with Caro
Building My Life Chapter 2619 The Advertising Campaign Begins
Sofia was at Café Montanha, slowly sipping a cup of coffee with milk, and unaware of the scheduled meeting because Erasmo was unable to get the message to her in time.Isabel meets Alan’s girlfriend and has a displeased reaction.“Was she attended to?” She asks Francisco.“Sure, honey. And Neil didn’t spit in the cup.” Francisco responds seriously.“Oh, I can’t be happy about that.” Isabel snorts, “That girl is throwing away a golden opportunity. Any girl who was hoping to be the next Mrs. Rocha would treat the family with respect.”“Looks like the wedding is still going to happen, darling.” Francisco opines.“Let’s find out.” Isabel goes to Sofia’s table, “Excuse me, Miss Vasquez...”“Mrs. Mountain, hello.” Sofia smiles angelically.Isabel doesn’t buy the angelic smile. “Excuse me, but I need to ask about something that was discussed here. Yesterday, your boyfriend came desperate to tell his mother that you were trying to harm Carol and Reuben’s relationship.”Sofia puts the cup on t
Building My Life Chapter 2620 The First Step
Melissa visits Rodrigo and Nadia’s apartment. Nadia was working. Rodrigo, wearing sweatpants and a gray tank top, comes from the kitchen with two cups of coffee.The way the sweatpants and tank top were crooked made Melissa suspect that Rodrigo was missing those pieces and hurriedly put them on, “Did I wake you up, Rodrigo?”“It’s time to wake up.” Rodrigo responds mysteriously, “How can I help you, Melissa?”“Well, Rod, you know that Josias is going to get involved with Cardozo Perfumes, you know?” Melissa takes her cup.“I heard something about it.” Rodrigo sips his coffee.“Well, Josias and Mrs. Cardozo finally talked and he authorized me to put the action plan into practice. You are being invited to be our model for men’s perfumes, what do you think?”Rodrigo smiles gently, “I think that’s wonderful, Melissa. I just wanted a recommendation.”“Yes?” Melissa stays alert.“I had a little talk with my Dad.” Rodrigo explains to her, “And he brought to my attention the fact that I’ll be
Building My Life Chapter 2621 Decoration Dispute
At the Vasquez mansion, the decorator didn’t know how to tell Helen that the owner of the house was in continuous intimate activity with her hubby.“Ehr... Who do I talk to?”“Mrs. Queiroz,” Helen responds in an intimidating tone.“Mrs. Queiroz, unfortunately, Mrs. Vasquez—”“Mrs. Vasquez will be able to answer her.” Olivia suddenly appears from the top of the stairs, wearing a discreet robe and her hair still damp from the shower.Helen raises her eyebrows and half-guesses what Olivia is doing. “Did you take time for lunch?”Olivia walks down the stairs as she asks back, “What are you doing here, Helen? I’m busy, as you can see.”“Yes, I see you’re busy redoing the whole house! Why?” Helen smiles mockingly, “Don’t I deserve to have a fancier dresser than yours?”Olivia waves to the kitchen, indicating that the conversation will continue there. The decorator and other workers focus on what is their business.“No, you don’t deserve it.” Olivia responds sternly, still with her back to H
Building My Life Chapter 2622 Respect My Sister or Forget Her
At the Lafayette supermarket, Nadia is in the management office with countless matters to attend to, but she is smiling, sitting at the desk, massaging her belly as if she were six months pregnant.Rodrigo opens the door and finds her like this. He smiles, “Calm down, anxious mommy.”“Hello, future daddy.” Nadia smiles back, “I can only imagine the moment. I have so many things to resolve and authorize, but I...”“Honey, don’t you want your Dad to take control for now, until you have our baby?” Rodrigo pulls out another chair and sits next to her, “I believe it will become more difficult for you as the pregnancy progresses.”“Perhaps. Let’s think about it later.” Nadia straightens up in her chair, “You look like you came to tell me something.”“Yes!” Rodrigo grins, “Melissa wants me to model for the Cardozo Perfumes advertising campaign. Josias will get involved in the company as a form of support, just as he did with Vasconcelos Fabrics.”“I wasn’t here during the history of Vasconce
Building My Life Chapter 2623 Grandparents in Harmony
Olivia turns to the decorator, “We’ll continue tomorrow. Thank you very much.”The decorator nods and leaves, almost bumping into Sofia. The daughter of the Vasquez family burst into the kitchen like a hurricane.“I don’t even need to guess what happened.”“Where’s my father?” Sofia asks furiously.Olivia swallows hard. “Ehr... He’s resting, daughter.”“OK, when he’s done resting, tell him that Caroline and I are still enemies!”“But that can’t be!” Olivia grabs the decorator’s catalog and slams it on the top of the kitchen island, “You should try to make amends! And now?”“I don’t know! Mom, let’s cancel this whole thing. As much as I love Alan, there’s no point in rowing against the current that sinks us! Even if Josias doesn’t say anything, he’ll say later that his little princess is right! I suggested that Alan and I elope and he told me no!”Olivia wrinkles her nose. “Elope? I want to help you with your wedding dress, daughter.”“Well, now we don’t know if we will have a wedding.

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
