Building My Life Chapter 2678 Missed Opportunity for Being a Troublemaker
At the famous ‘Happy Bride’ bridal shop, Rosemary and Caroline feel like they are in a torture chamber. But in reality, they’re just accompanying Sofia as she tries on dresses for the big wedding.Olivia glanced at the ladies from time to time, feeling the uneasiness among them, and purposely ordered Sofia to try on or remove dresses that were already perfect.“Hmm... I don’t know, daughter. That other one with a cleavage on the bust looked prettier.”“Mom, come on, this one is perfect!” Not even Sofia could bear changing so many dresses.The saleswoman, however, was always helpful because she knew who the customer was. “Miss Vasquez, if you want, we can change and try something else. We’re here at your disposal.”“Thank you, dear,” Olivia said as she almost pushed Sofia into the dressing room.Rosemary wasn’t one to keep quiet and took the opportunity to say, “Mrs. Vasquez, I believe you can stop torturing us all. The choice of dress is the bride’s.”Olivia turned around, surprised t

William went down carefully so as not to trip and fall down the stairs. He opened the gate, curious about what Flávia wanted.“Cousin, my son still lives in his house.” Caio joked, letting her enter.Flávia remained serious. “I thought you would take the opportunity to move near him.”“No... my son is going to marry Brigitte and I would get in the way,” William commented with a satisfied smile. “The second bedroom must be for their son.”“Will, you could let Caio live here with Brigitte while you’d live in the other house, on the ground floor, for your safety.” Flávia looked at the stairs. “So many years in which you went up and down these stairs, at the risk of falling...”William smiled like a teenager. “OK, I guess I need to know what you’re all worried about.”Flávia chose a chair and sat down, looking at her cousin casually. “Do I need to explain myself?”William pulls out another chair and sits very close to her. “I don’t think so. I understand you very well.”Flávia lowered her
Building My Life Chapter 2680 Confessing How She Felt Since 1986
At Pizzeria Campos, William was very surprised to hear from Flávia that she was in love with him in the 80s.“Flávia... I’m here blaming myself and criticizing myself for being interested in you even though you’re my cousin, and you confess to me that you felt the same way since we were young?”“I know it sounds crazy, Will, but it’s the truth!” Flávia exclaimed passionately. “I always thought you were hot. You’re still! Even with your bad leg, even though you stopped playing soccer, even though you gained weight... you didn’t let it affect you. You started exercising again, you had a virile and attractive body again... you knew how to raise your son alone, without the evil influence of that Pamela... how could I not feel attracted to you, William Campos?”William smiled when he was praised like that. “It’s been a long time since someone talked about me like that.”“That’s because you’ve been doing a lot of nonsense,” Flávia responds between giggles. “Being an enemy of Josias wasn’t a

At the Lagoon City police station, Amoreira was calmly reading the latest issue of Maggiezine when noises in the hallway took his attention. Angry voices approached.Amoreira felt that the nervous people were going to enter his office and he stood up. He got it right; the door opened abruptly and some rookie police officers shoved Karen inside.“You’re the celebrity police.” One of the newbies said, “So take care of this crazy girl.”“Actually, I’m a detective, but—” The inexperienced police officers closed the door in Amoreira’s face.Sighing, Amoreira turned to Karen who was snorting like a bitch. “Good afternoon, Miss! Why did they throw you into my office? I was reading the summary of the soaps...”“Well then, I won’t bother you with your manly reading!” Karen got up intending to run away.But Amoreira blocked her, placing himself in front of the door. “Ah-Ah! Nothing like that, miss! Now I’m detaining you for contempt of authority.”“WHAT?” Karen doesn’t realize the danger of yel

Kelvin showed up at the Lagoon City police station.“Excuse me, I need to report a missing person.”“Has it been twenty-four hours, sir?” The police officer who put Karen in Amoreira’s office is now the one who works at the front desk.“No, but she is the wife of João Paulo Rocha Queiroz. You don’t want her to appear dead floating in the river when you should’ve done something to prevent it, right?” Kelvin spoke with a smile, but the words were too threatening for the rookie.He got his legs shaking and got up. “Ehr... detective Amoreira is interrogating a lady vandal accused of having caused the biggest scandal in Ibrahim Square—”Kelvin opened his eyes wide and used the brain he has. “Scandal in Ibrahim Square? It probably has something to do with it! Helen Queiroz was last seen in the square!”“OK, follow me, sir...”“Kelvin Mountain.”The police officer promised to follow in Amoreira’s footsteps and read Maggiezine so as not to be rude to the celebrities who appear at the police s

Everyone enters Adelaide’s office to check on the call she received from Damascene Lawyers.As she picked up the mouthpiece, Josias got the idea. “Isn’t it Brigitte calling?”Adelaide smiles hopefully and answers the call. “Hello?”On the other side, Brigitte was calling on her cell phone. Helen was next to her, drinking passion fruit tea. “Hello, Addie. This is Brigitte.”“Brigitte, thank God! Mr. Rocha guessed it was you.” Adelaide sighed in relief. “We’re concerned about the whereabouts of Helen Queiroz.”“She’s here with me, wanting to sue this so-and-so named Karen,” Brigitte explained. “She is very upset and a nervous wreck.”“Her husband is here.” Adelaide puts her hand on the mouthpiece. “Helen is at Damascene Lawyers.”“Thank God!” João Paulo wipes the sweat from his forehead.“She wants to sue Karen.” Adelaide returns to the call, “Brigitte, can you explain to me what happened?”“I’ll summarize the story: Karen appeared at the sales stand in Ibrahim Square, insulted Helen, s

João Paulo and Helen return home together at night. Sandra was on the couch watching cartoons.“Mommy, Daddy! You’re here!”“Good, daughter. Fortunately.” Helen went to the sofa and hugged Sandra tightly.“What is it, Mommy?”“No big deal, daughter. Mom missed you.” Helen continued hugging Sandra.“OK. When I finish watching the cartoon, I’m going upstairs to take a shower. Do we have dinner?”João Paulo gives the idea, “Let’s order pizza at Pizzeria Campos, what do you think?”“YAY!” Sandra gets up from the sofa and runs to João Paulo, hugging him. “Thanks, Dad!”“Anytime, daughter. Now go up the stairs, no running, and go take your shower.”“OK!” Sandra obeyed. The cartoon wasn’t finished yet, but the desire to eat pizza spoke louder.Helen took advantage and grabbed the remote control, turning off the TV. João Paulo sat next to her.“I didn’t want to ask you during the ride.” João Paulo wrapped his arm around his wife. “Do you really intend to sue her?”“I want you to write the mos
Building My Life Chapter 2685 Who Will Bear the Loss
The next morning, the doorbell at the Mountain Penthouse sounded too early for Felipe’s liking.He appeared in the living room, scratching his eyes sleepily, unwilling to answer the door.First, he decided to go to the landline and dial the building’s entrance.“Hello, concierge? Who did you let up? It’s too early for visitors, don’t you think?”“I’m sorry, Mr. Mountain, but the person assured you that you were waiting for him. It’s Octavio Motta. Should I call the police?”Felipe frowned. He wasn’t close to Octavio, so it was difficult for him to think of a reason for the Chief Architect to visit him. “It’s fine, I’ll answer it. But next time, don’t let anyone pass this hour of the day. My uncle is still sleeping.”After saying goodbye, Felipe answered the door before Octavio broke the doorbell.“The bell won’t make money if you press it over and over again!”“Good morning, Young Mountain!” Octavio smiles ironically, already dressed in a suit and tie. “God helps those who rise early,

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.

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
