Building My Life Chapter 2643 Someone Is Incredulous
Adelaide showed Amoreira the key to a commercial office. They were both in her apartment.“What’s that, sweetheart?” Amoreira was on the couch reading the latest issue of Maggiezine.“This is a copy of the key to the new Cardozo Perfumes office. Let’s open a spot to establish a base here. Business is booming, dear!”“Really? And who will take care of the headquarters in Linhares?” Amoreira is curious, leaving the magazine in his lap.“My relatives and relatives of the late Ulysses.” Adelaide sits next to him, “I’ll stick around so we can be together.”Amoreira smiles widely. The two lean in and share a quick kiss.“How about we check this place out?” Amoreira gets up.“You seem very cheerful and calm after visiting the Happiness Slum police station.” Adelaide notices.“Josias Rocha assured me that my boy will have protection from the boys of the Bento family,” Amoreira speaks exultantly.“I don’t know these guys. What do they do? Are they private security for this important family?” A

William visits the Housing Department to check the old land of the house where he lived.After being served, the civil servant checked his computer, typing feverishly. On the other side, William was amazed at so much to type and research.“That’s a lot of land, Mr. Campos.” The man smiles gently as he types, “Especially in the case of Happiness Slum. Unfortunately, as it was an irregular occupation, it’s more difficult to determine exactly the legality of the claimed lands.”“It’s a shame. My parents were very poor and couldn’t afford a house in a regular neighborhood. But my sister met Josias Rocha, and everything changed.”“Thank God.” The civil servant nods, knowing the story, “Here it is... Well, the land, as expected, has no documentation. The city hall can, at any time, claim that location and do whatever it wants with it. Of course, just three families have decision-making power in the entire favela.”William scratches his chin, thoughtfully. Three families? Could it be the Ben
Building My Life Chapter 2645 A Letter to Rosemary
The next day, several new things happened.First, Adelaide took her entire family on a tour of the new Cardozo Perfumes office.People were so amazed that they commented that this should be the headquarters, not the branch.“Honey, you should move the headquarters here.” Amoreira says in amazement, “It seems to be bigger here than there!”“You’ve never seen my headquarters up close, darling.” Adelaide laughs.“Well, but from the photos you showed me...” Amoreira laughs heartily.Maggie and Kelvin, however, are dazzled for another reason. They recognize the place.“Aunt Addie... This was the headquarters of Rocha Constructions during the 80’s and 90’s!” Maggie exclaims.Adelaide is startled. It appears that the real estate agent forgot to inform you of this important piece of information. Is that why the rent wasn’t cheap?“Rocha Constructions was here?” Adelaide exclaims in amazement.Kelvin responds, “Yes... between 1984 and 1997, if I’m not mistaken. The person who found this place

At Rocha Hotel, Jane is called to talk to Elza. The two friends are together in the manager’s office, feeling an oppressive and strange atmosphere.Does Elza want to talk about the new manager?“Elza, here I am.” Jane can’t handle the suspense, “I believe you want to talk about the hotel management. Have you really decided to retire?”“Yes, friend. I think I deserve it, right?” Elza smiles mischievously.“Yes, you’re very old—” Jane corrects herself, “You have worked for many years to manage this hotel. And have you chosen a successor yet?”“Yes, I chose my replacement. Do you know Lauro Medeiros?”Jane feels chills down her spine. “I think I saw him around, talking to you weeks ago...”“Yes. He was interviewed by me.” Elza stands up, “I’m giving him your old position.”Jane feels impacted by the news. Huh? This means that...“That means, dear Jane, that I have decided to name you my replacement!” Elza finally closes the mystery.“AH!” Jane vibrates and jumps with happiness when she s

At the new headquarters of Cardozo Perfumes, Adelaide was choosing the same office as Josias. She didn’t even know that. Maggie came in and smiled.“Did you know this was Josias’s office?”“I imagined it. It seems to be the largest room that evokes power. Josias Rocha left his mark on this place.” Adelaide nods in approval.“That’s why, aunt, you don’t need to fear for the ghost of my damned mother.” Maggie winks at her, “Though I hope I can count on you ma’am for another family matter.”“Which?” Adelaide turns to her niece.“Kelvin doesn’t have a job. He doesn’t dare return to Crystal Blue for obvious reasons.” Maggie asks, “Couldn’t you hire him to help you in here? Maybe as a supervisor or representative...”Adelaide puts her hand on her chin. “Look, I was truly in need of someone to take care of some of my affairs. For example, I didn’t think it was safe to go to Happiness Slum to do business with Rosemary Reis. Since Kelvin is better known in town, the next time I need it...”“Ye

At the beach, Caroline and Reuben were having fun just as Alan had said. In the sand, Reuben had dug a hole and was now voluntarily inside it, while Caroline threw the sand back, covering her boyfriend.As the sand covered more and more of Reuben’s body, he said, “Honey, did you hear the big one? Felipe Mountain showed up at Rocha Constructions for work!”“Working in construction?” Caroline is stunned, and without realizing it, she throws more sand than before, getting in Reuben’s face.“Cough, cough... slow down, baby.” Reuben laughs, “That’s right, the pompous son of your father’s most annoying enemy has decided to put on the shirt of humility and go work as a bricklayer’s assistant.”Caroline shakes her head as she throws more sand, now reaching for Reuben’s neck. “That’s incredible. Is Felipe feeling like punishing or flagellating himself?”“I don’t know. He just doesn’t want to work as a waiter at Crystal Blue anymore. That’s weird, he didn’t want to stick around to get the resta

At Café Montanha, Isabel and Francisco are questioning Rodrigo about what he wants for his future and that of his growing family.“Son, be frank.” Francisco encourages him, “We have our opinion, but at the end of the story, it’s you who will make the final decision.”Rodrigo, feeling convinced, takes a deep breath and responds, “Dad, I want to continue modeling the way I was before.”Francisco and Isabel face each other.Rodrigo continues, “I know I can get photos like Alan. At least I don’t want to risk something as obvious as Cláudio Guzman.”“What’s wrong with Cláudio Guzman?” Isabel asks, still unaware of the commercial.Francisco wrinkles his nose, “Don’t even know, dear. A little more and that guy will enter the adult cinema. Was that a perfume commercial?”Isabel shakes her head, “I got it. It’s not o

At Cardozo Perfumes, Kelvin welcomes Rodrigo into his office. It was the room that Tiago Bento used to use.“That’s cool, you managed to be at Josias’s old place. Your mother worked here serving the famous buttery cookies.” Rodrigo sits down.Kelvin sits down opposite each other, “Yeah, but you can forget it. We won’t have that cursed recipe here, or my mother’s ghost will haunt this place. Anyway, cousin, you can tell me what you need.”Rodrigo takes a deep breath and expresses his desire, “Kelvin, I posed for the first Cardozo Perfumes campaign in a more reserved and formal way because I was thinking about my future as a father. I think my son or daughter would be embarrassed if they found out what I looked like ‘coveted’ by my fans. However, with the brief repercussion of the photos... I believe if you need me for more daring photos next time, you can count on me.”Kelvin puts his hand on his chin, “Are you envy of Alan Rocha?”“I wouldn’t say envy.” Rodrigo explains, “I’m happy th

Melissa dropped by the Cardozo Perfumes office.She found Sarah working with a bright smile. “Good morning, Sarah. So, enjoying being back in Lagoon City?”“Oh, I couldn’t be happier, Mrs. Rocha!” Sarah replied excitedly. “Everyone here knows you, and they’re so friendly!”“Yeah, but be careful; not everyone is like that,” Melissa began to worry.“My parents warned me, especially about David Souza.” Sarah became alert. “He... there was news on the Internet that he’s in jail...”Melissa smiled mockingly. “Sad ending for someone who insists on being a pain in the neck, don’t you agree?”“Oh, yes, I agree...” Sarah quickly nodded. Something inside her told her to agree if she didn’t want to get into trouble.Kelvin approached them. “Good morning, madames!”“Kelvin, I need to talk to you.” Melissa turned to him.“Let’s go to my office. Sarah, hold the calls or forward them to my wife.”“Yes, Mr. Mountain.”Kelvin and Melissa went to his office.Inside, Melissa asked, “Is Sarah doing well?
Chapter 3214 Something from the Past to Use in the Future
Daryl met with Sofia, Suzy, and William in Sofia’s office. Sofia was still smiling and occasionally shot ironic glances at Suzy.“Guys, João Paulo wants to interview Vaztrans, just as I predicted,” Daryl announced. “As we can see, this company’s good performance has not gone unnoticed by the general public.”“Oh, damn...” Suzy muttered under her breath.“Why are you complaining, Suzy?” Sofia asked provocatively.“We have a bad history with that guy,” Suzy said louder. “Can’t we ask another journalist to come here?”“Knowing João Paulo, he’ll come,” William replied, also a bit apprehensive. “Which one of us is going to answer his questions?”Daryl shrugged. “Looks like I’m the only one who’s not on bad terms with him, right?”“Be careful, Daryl. João Paulo is more treacherous than his late father,” Sofia grumbled.Suzy decided to counterattack, “This is all because of the ‘Spanish Stallion’? Get over it, dear. Don’t go catatonic like your mother.”Sofia shot Suzy a furious look and did
Chapter 3213 Time to Think About the Future
Sofia and Suzy started arguing in the middle of the employees in the Vaztrans garage. “Suzy, don’t be stingy!” Sofia exclaimed. “After many years, our company finally had some financial breathing room. I want to celebrate this achievement by doing something nice for our hardworking employees.” “That’s right, Mrs. Campos Rocha!” The employees cheered. Suzy smiled maliciously. “I see your little game.” “What do you think I’m doing?” Sofia crossed her arms. “You’re staging a publicity stunt or trying to win the hearts of the employees. Well, that’s not going to happen!” “You...” Sofia held back the urge to slap Suzy but decided to take the high road. She turned to the drivers and conductors and shrugged. “I tried.” Sofia made a strategic retreat, leaving Suzy alone in front of disappointed employees. “Hey, wait...!” Suzy felt she was about to be lynched and ran out of the garage. The employees booed and cursed her without mercy. ****** At João Paulo’s house, he was sitting in
Chapter 3212 Can We Give a Raise?
Reynaldo and Leonardo were talking in the former’s office, tension and anxiety taking over their voices and expressions. “So you mean the idiot knows everything?” Leonardo asked illogically. “If J.J. discovered our plan, then he’s not an idiot, man.” Reynaldo corrected him. “You understood what I meant!” Leonardo gestured. “And now? What are we going to do?” “Most likely, Josias Rocha knows too.” Reynaldo sighed, discouraged. “As our father said, we need to wait for the dust to settle before we act again.” “We need to make you the majority partner.” Leonardo asserted. “Leo, sometimes I’d prefer if you stayed out of this.” Reynaldo admitted from the bottom of his heart. “You have a career as a lawyer that precedes you. If things get worse, if you’re exposed, not only would you be fired from Damascene Lawyers – no agency would have the guts to hire you.” Leonardo smiled and patted his brother’s right shoulder. “Don’t worry about me. Avenging our father is more important than anyt
Chapter 3211 Sofia Is Innocent
At Vasconcelos Fabrics, the biggest and most controversial conversation J.J. had ever had in his life was taking place. If he saw himself acting all tough and wild with Reynaldo, he wouldn’t recognize himself. Footsteps echoed down the hallway toward the office. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, man!” Reynaldo mustered the courage, hoping someone would come to save him. “Okay, it’s understandable that you don’t want to produce evidence against yourself.” J.J. smiled ironically. The office door opened, and Leonardo appeared. “Is something going on here?” “Hello, big brother!” J.J. continued in an ironic tone. “The coincidence of you showing up here is almost timed!” “Have you been drinking?” Leonardo frowned, and then looked at a terrified Reynaldo. “J.J. isn’t feeling well; it’s best to leave him alone.” Reynaldo’s expression told Leonardo what was really happening. “Alright, I need to talk to you about some matters. Have a good day, J.J.” Leonardo, in an attorney’s po
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
