Building My Life Chapter 2769 Repossession
The day Felipe was waiting for arrived.Alone in the master suite of the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin was ‘gently’ woken up by the ringing of his cell phone. While the alarm clock emitted a discreet and soft ring, the cell phone ring was loud and made the device vibrate.Kelvin had to wake up and answer before his cell phone fell off the bedside table. “Hello?”“Kelvin, I hope I didn’t wake you up.” Josias identified himself while sitting at the desk in his office at Rocha Mansion.“Actually, I was counting 5390 sheep.” Kelvin teased, then yawned, “Tell me, what do you order?”“I understand that Crystal Blue is left without a manager. What does that mean?”Kelvin had the feeling that Josias already knew, but he just wanted to hear his side. “Huh... Where do I start? Did you read your brother’s article reporting an escapade between my ex-girlfriend and Cláudio Guzman?”“I can’t even fathom the idea that you’d be her boyfriend, but that’s okay. Go on,” Josias answered ironically.“Well, a
Building My Life Chapter 2770 Something Unexpected
“What did you say, Jack?” Octavio widened his eyes, “And until when did you intend to tell me this? Oh yes, you’re saying now...”Sofia, Jane, and even Augusto found Octavio’s disjointed sentences were weird. Something happened...“OK. The family is here. I’ll let them know, bye!” Octavio ended the phone call.Jane shivered. “Honey, what happened?”“Bad news?” Sofia didn’t know whether to stay or leave the kitchen.Octavio sighed. “Bad news, guys. My father isn’t very well. Likely, he won’t make it past this year.”“Oh, darling...” Jane covered her mouth with her hands.“Is he also in São Paulo with your brother?” Sofia wanted to know the Motta family more deeply.“Exactly. And there, he has the best medical care.” Octavio swallows hard, “But there are times when there’s no other way. Maybe my father’s time is coming.”Jane informs her husband, “I was letting Sofia know that maybe she doesn’t need to come here anymore, honey.”Octavio stares at Sofia, “Thank you very much for the help
Building My Life Chapter 2771 Defending the Youngest Brother
At Rocha Constructions, Octavio was sad at his desk. The other architects worked at their desks or computers. Some exchanged ideas with others.Octavio smiled when he noticed that the majority were exchanging opinions with Caio as if he was already accepted among them as the new leader.Caio saw Octavio’s face and addressed him. “Octavio? What happened, buddy?”“Caio, congratulations on demonstrating leadership. You’ll need it for when I’m absent.”“Absent, you?” Caio’s eyes widened.“Yes. My father is sick and may not make it through this year.” Octavio replied sadly.“Oh, I’m so sorry!” Caio pulls out another chair and sits down. “I remember Mr. Motta.”“Yes, he is a nice old man. He’s managed to live this far, but I think my mom is calling him now.” Octavio tried to smile at the joke, but couldn’t.“Are you going to São Paulo?” Caio asks cautiously.“I might not even be able to attend your graduation ceremony.” Octavio laments, “I don’t know if I’ll make it back to Lagoon City. The
Building My Life Chapter 2772 Farewell to the Motta Family
At Café Montanha, Maggie caught up with the latest news about her family. The radio playing “For Reason Unknown” by The Killers entertained her as she sipped a Latte.Kelvin was next to her on the stool. “It’s all settled, my dear sister. We performed at Crystal Blue and the employees recognized our sovereignty. Felipe is readjusting the office, throwing out that boring modern furniture.”“What is he going to do with that PVC desk?” Maggie giggles.“He will burn it down and replace it with an imposing mahogany desk.” Kelvin laughs, “The Mountain family’s former glory will return.”“God hear you.” Maggie holds out the glass as if she’s toasting.Isabel kissed Francisco. “Bye, dear. I’ll tell you more details when I get back.”“Where are you going, Izzy?” Maggie asked.“I’m going to Octavio and Jane’s house.” Isabel replied worriedly, “They say that Old Mr. Motta is on his last legs and that they will go to São Paulo before he passes away without seeing his newborn granddaughter.”Maggi
Building My Life Chapter 2773 This Is Not How You Get a Promotion
At Café Montanha, Octavio was being toasted by his friends for his departure to São Paulo. The song “Dear Mr. President”, by Pink, gave an air of farewell.Alfred held out his glass of Macchiato, “Guys, let’s wish Octavio good luck and happiness for him and his family, wherever he is! Let’s send good vibes! May his daughter grow up healthy and may Augusto follow in his father’s footsteps!”“Let’s toast to that!” Caio exclaimed excitedly.“Cheers!” Everyone clinked their glasses and cups.Octavio just needed to cry. “Thank you, guys. You’re very friendly. I’ll miss everyone.”Kelvin took advantage of the cue, “Octavio, I know you don’t hold us in high esteem, but believe me when I say I’m rooting for your father to at least meet your daughter.”Octavio didn’t hold a grudge. “Thank you, Kelvin.”Josias walked away and went to the counter. “Francisco, how much is this round of coffee cups?”Francisco laughs. “Usually, I’d leave it up on the house, but today a lot of people showed up...

Building My Life Chapter 2774 Caroline Is Desperate
The next day, Octavio, Jane, Augusto, and Anne looked at their Rainbow Garden house for the last time.“Goodbye, home. It’s been nice living here most of my life.” Octavio sighed.“It was really nice,” Jane admitted.“So let’s go. You’ll see Grandpa again, Augusto.” Octavio turned to his son.“Are we coming back one day, Daddy?” Augusto asked with a sad face.“I don’t know, son. Maybe YOU will return to work as an architect.” Octavio strokes his head.“Maybe...” Augusto smiles hopefully.“Well, I won’t want Anne to be the hotel manager.” Jane joked, “Unless she kills Mr. Medeiros.”“Shhh! Honey...” Octavio scolded his wife for using strong words with their daughter in her arms.But Jane just laughed. Lauro Medeiros is probably already showing his claws, being reprimanded and neutralized by Alan.The Motta family gets into the car. Jane puts Anne in the baby seat. Augusto sits next to her.Jane closes the doors and sits in the passenger seat. Octavio is still staring at the house...“C

Another day at Café Montanha. Rodrigo lifted the iron door and opened the place, disarming the alarm.Neilton entered with him. “Now it’s the two of us, huh?”“So it is. I think I’ll have to hire more people. Could it be that in the orphanage where you came from...?” Rodrigo asks with a smile.“You’d better ask Mrs. Freire.” Neilton laughs, going behind the counter.“I’m happy for Felipe.” Rodrigo sighs, “I just hope he forgets that little detail.”“Conquer Caroline?” Neilton shakes his head, “I don’t think women are on Felipe’s mind right now. His new toy is the restaurant.”“God hear you.” Rodrigo sighs.He turns on the radio and the song “Foundations”, by Kate Nash, resonates through the cafeteria, waking the place up.The first customer arrives: Caroline.“Good morning, Princess of Lagoon City!” Neilton greets her, watching her frown.“Good morning, Neil. Sorry for the lack of humor. I’m waiting for Rose.”“And what can we serve you while you wait?” Rodrigo gives his best smile.“
Building My Life Chapter 2776 Destroying the Deluded Guy
At the Rocha Hotel, Alan was in Jane’s office. Josias left him a bomb to detonate...The door opened, and Lauro entered as if he were a child about to get his first PlayStation. Alan felt sorry for him for a few seconds.“Did you call me, Mr. Rocha? What happened? Did your father decide something?”Alan frowned. “How did you know I was talking to my father?”Lauro cleared his throat unnecessarily. “Ahem... Well, I assumed you were with your father for not showing up so early.”“You’re such a...” Alan refrained from swearing. He stood up from the management chair, “Well, here’s the thing: yes, I was with my father, but he made a decision contrary to what you always dreamed of.”Lauro doesn’t even waste time. “So, Mr. Rocha... it was a pleasure working here, but—”“Was it REALLY a pleasure, Mr. Medeiros?” Alan replied, “From what I heard from Jane Motta, you almost led her into a nervous breakdown! She was afraid to tell all of us that she was pregnant for fear you would pull some ruse

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.

Chapter 3147 Josias Instructs His Firstborn
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.

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

Chapter 3143 Return
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

Chapter 3141 Respect the Mourning
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
