Building My Life Chapter 2801 He Didn’t Do It
2008Caroline Campos Rocha (and probably Freire) was eagerly walking around the pool area wearing a white dress as fireworks welcomed the New Year. She was alone.Josias found her. He wore casual clothes, also white, and held a glass of champagne. It looked like a celebration was taking place in the ballroom, but his little princess was isolated.“Daughter?” He approached her with slow steps, “Wanting to ease your mind?”“I didn’t even get a call from him, Dad.” Caroline’s eyes were watery.“I know.” Josias kissed her cheek, “But I couldn’t allow Reuben to be arrested for Felipe Mountain’s attack.”“I know it wasn’t him, Dad.” Caroline repeated this several times, “I believe Felipe has other enemies. You know what the Mountain family is like. Felipe is no saint.”“Are you blaming Felipe for his misfortune?” Josias smiles out of the corner of his mouth.“I’m saying there are things we don’t know.” Caroline warns him, “Since Felipe took over management of Crystal Blue, we haven’t had an
Building My Life Chapter 2802 Daryl Wants Brigitte
Caio and Brigitte meet at Café Montanha. Rodrigo and Neilton attend to them, but their faces show concern for Reuben.“Neil, how’s the situation with your apartment?” Caio asks casually.“Well, Benjamin and I are going to have to tighten the budget.” Neilton lamented, “We don’t have Reuben’s help this month.”“What a situation.” Caio turns to Rodrigo, “Do you know when your father comes back?”“Hard to know.” Rodrigo replied aloofly, “Josias is the one who dictates the orders, you know that.”“My uncle, always the one in control...” Caio smiles and points to two pieces of chicken pie.After being served, Caio and Brigitte sit at one of the tables. Rodrigo turns on the radio and the song “Bubbly”, by Colbie Caillat, echoes through the cafeteria.“A peaceful song to calm us down a little,” Brigitte comments.“The situation is getting tense and dangerous, darling.” Caio informs her, “Rumors are going around that Daryl Mountain is visiting town, like a pit bull foaming in wrath.”“He want
Building My Life Chapter 2803 Chaos Begins
Melissa also felt that Josias wanted to talk to her about that subject...After David left, Melissa closed the door and approached her husband. “OK, I believe you wanted some answers.”“I think I deserve it, don’t I?” Josias jokes, “Honey, you showed up at my company, talking normally about the two of us, our love... Until Caio showed up talking about Reuben having a gun in his hands. You freaked out, magically guessed that Kelvin was in the hospital, and begged me to send Reuben to São Paulo with his grandparents. We’re now aware of this attempted murder, and the victim is Felipe.”Josias took a deep breath, “Will you please fill in the blanks? I’m seriously thinking that Reuben tried to murder Felipe, but our daughter refuses to believe it. When I ask if she has any theories, she withdraws. She knows something else, and I feel like she conferred with you.”Melissa smiles awkwardly. “Of course, she conferred with me. She cried in despair, sensing something like this would happen.”“D
Building My Life Chapter 2804 Benjamin Has a Memory of an Elephant
Flávia reacts indifferently to Daryl’s accusations. She smiles mockingly and gives William a warning with her gaze that everything is fine.William gets the message, closes the door, but remains in the room for safety.“Mr. Daryl Mountain, how long...”“It hasn’t been that long and I haven’t returned to this disgusting city!” Daryl barks, “Just passing through, enough time to put your son behind bars.”“Why do you think that way about my son? There is nothing proven against him.” Flávia responds calmly.“There’s nothing proven because Josias won’t let him, right?” Daryl grits his teeth, “I can barely remember the time we were friends! How Josias changed for the worse!”William can’t take it anymore. “Excuse me: has JOSIAS changed for the worse? You were his loyal friend who decided to stick your nose where it wasn’t called. Josias would be married to that troublemaker Gabriela Alves if it weren’t for me.”“You’re still proud of fooling everyone for over a year, huh?” Daryl neither for
Building My Life Chapter 2805 Defending Reuben
At Crystal Blue, Kelvin decided to provide support while Felipe recovered. After all, he was also a partner in the restaurant.The office was examined by the forensic team and released last year. Still, Kelvin had ominous feelings and now and then he glanced at the door. The chair that Felipe used was changed because it had splashed blood.Then, he opened a drawer and found a resume: it was Daniela Lombardi’s.“Hmm... a girl around Felipe’s age left a resume here. Maybe that would be a good idea...” Kelvin smiled excitedly.Once he was sure that Daniela had not been contacted, he picked up the phone from the desk and dialed her number.On the other side, Daniela was talking to her father in the living room.“The Crystal Blue people probably won’t hire me, Dad.” Daniela was discouraged.“Why do you think so, daughter?” Hamilton is surprised, “Don’t be pessimistic. Maybe they are waiting for your call.”“They’re the ones who promise to call me.” Daniela sighed, “When that doesn’t happen
Building My Life Chapter 2806 It’s Time for Him to Come Back
Daryl wasn’t in the mood to be accused of being a troublemaker. He closed the door to the office that now belongs to his son.“Has there been a change here?”“Cláudio Guzman changed the furniture, opting for a more modern and bold style, but your son changed everything back,” Patrick explained.“This desk is very good.” Kelvin smiles, patting her top, “Felipe has good taste.”“There’s just no wisdom for women,” Daryl complains.Patrick gulped. “Kelvin, do you want me to welcome Daniela?”“The conversation won’t be very long. Daryl needs to rest.” Kelvin looks at his troubled brother.Patrick leaves, leaving the brothers alone.“Will Campos got me this bruise.” Daryl quickly admitted, “He thought I wanted a facial.”“He didn’t do it for free. You provoked him—” Kelvin guessed, “Oh no, man! Did you meet with Flávia?”“I couldn’t swallow the fact that they are dating. What a strange pair!” Daryl grimaces in disgust, “But I thought she should know what I intend to do to her son as soon as
Building My Life Chapter 2807 A Proposal for Caroline
Daniela arrives at Crystal Blue and is welcomed by Patrick at the bar.“Hello, Pat. Looks like I’ve finally been selected. I was losing hope...”“Don’t miss it.” Patrick smiled, “I need to check if my other boss is available.”“Hey, is everything okay here?” Daniela has common sense, “If you’re out of time because of what happened...”“His older brother, Felipe’s father, was here.” Patrick looked down the hall.Daryl walked out of there, waving at Patrick. “Kelvin is free. Is this the new employee? He can meet you now, miss.”“Thanks.” Daniela smiled, “Why do I feel like he’s still part of this place?”“The restaurant was his, almost twenty years ago,” Patrick replied jokingly.Daniela went to the office and entered.The feeling of being in the same place where Felipe was shot gave her goosebumps.Kelvin stood up from his desk and smiled gently. “Hello, Miss Lombardi.”“Mr. Mountain, nice to meet you. Thank you very much for the opportunity.”“And I apologize again for taking so long.
Building My Life Chapter 2808 My Legacy Is the Building
Caroline is stunned by the less-than-decent proposal that Daryl made to her.“Uncle Daryl, I don’t understand what you mean by that.” She argues, “Are you suggesting that I had something to do with Felipe being in love with me?”“You didn’t, Carol? Honestly speaking?” Daryl raises his eyebrows.“No, this is absurd! I’ve always loved Reuben since I was a kid!” Caroline exclaims.Felipe shifts in bed as if he had heard that sentence.“Let’s go outside further.” Daryl calls out to her, “Looks like he heard what he didn’t want to hear.”Caroline gets impatient. “He needs to understand, Uncle Daryl.”“OK, but do you promise to try hard?” Daryl frowns.“Uncle Daryl, I don’t agree with the ‘look for another suitor’ part. I don’t want another man. Reuben will be the Prince of Lagoon City.” Caroline smiles hopefully.“Don’t be naive, girl. As soon as the police get their hands on him, Reuben will go to jail to pay for his crime.” Daryl shakes his head.“What crime? There is no conviction. We h

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. 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

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
