Building My Life Chapter 2827 Daniela Intrudes
As Caroline passed through the kitchen to exit the back door of Crystal Blue, she was intercepted by Daniela.“Miss Rocha!”Caroline froze in her steps and looked at Daniela. “Yes?”“I’m Daniela Lombardi, I work in accounting at the restaurant, and I’m seeing Pete Reis. Do you know him?”“Yes, his half-sister is my best friend, Rosemary Reis.” Caroline wipes away her tears.“May I know the reason for your tears?” Daniela approaches with a serious face.Caroline felt that Daniela would not be a friend offering her shoulder. “Ehr... Sorry, did I disturb something?”“Actually, Miss Rocha, I work in the office, and I was about to go in when I realized that you were inside, talking to Mr. Mountain. By coincidence, my cell phone rang and I walked away. It was Pete.” Daniela explains with a strange smile.Caroline stares at Daniela, processing the information. So, the cell phone ringtone was hers, but she said she was passing by casually... was that really it, and she was being paranoid?“I

Flávia finds Reuben working at his desk at Rocha Constructions.“Hello, Mom! Any news?”“Your grandmother Izzy is going to retire and hand over leadership of the soap opera to Melissa,” Flávia responds while analyzing her son’s body expression. Is he fine?“Oh, that’s nice! Melissa can carry on Grandma’s legacy.” Reuben smiles childishly.Flávia approached the subject little by little. “You look really good, son.”“I’m fine, Mom. Thank you very much for coming here and asking me. Uncle Josias is in the office, but Melissa is at João Paulo’s house, along with Grandma Dora, Tess, and a few others. I don’t know if Olivia Vasquez—”“Did you break up with Caroline?” Flávia got straight to the point.Reuben stopped typing on the computer and had a transformation = from some mama boy to a man his age.“Mom, I love Carol and I’m going to marry her. A trivial quarrel won’t ruin our love.”“I’m glad you think so.” Flávia takes a deep breath, “But I received information that you two broke up.”“
Building My Life Chapter 2829 Rosemary and Thierry Get Engaged (1)
The day of Rosemary and Thierry’s engagement arrived.At the Lafayette mansion, cars began arriving and parking on the lawn. As it would be something exceptional, Jacques allowed it for today.So, the cars arrived, and the guests arrived at the ballroom.The code attire was a black tie, as required by any formal party with the Rocha family present.Jacques was checking Thierry’s bow tie. They were both near the snack table. Employees walked around setting out food and drink options.“Dad, it’s finally happening.” Thierry says anxiously, “Is the tie better?”“The tie was already fine.” Jacques replied jokingly, “I just wanted to check.”“Ah, Dad, don’t be a clown.” Thierry laughs.Ingrid approaches them wearing an imposing purple ankle-length dress. “You boys, try to behave.”“Hello, Mother. Wow, you look divine!” Thierry kissed his fingertips.“Thank you, son. Wait until Rosemary appears.” Ingrid blinks.“She is the bride of the engagement party, not of the wedding.” Thierry jokes.“S

The engagement party was in full swing with more guests arriving.Alan, Sofia, Erasmo, and Olivia were the next to arrive.Raymond, the celebrity of the moment, raised his eyebrows upon seeing Josias’ firstborn.“Wow! That baby from the 80s has grown up and married a beautiful young lady!”“Mr. Chaves, great to see you in good health.” Alan hugged him.“I’m not sure about ‘good health’, but I’m glad to see you.” Raymond joked.As they pulled apart, Alan pointed, “My dear wife, Sofia Vasquez Rocha. He is a great family friend, grandfather of Caio, Rose, Pedro, and Little Theo.”“My grandpa too!” Maycon innocently exclaimed.Alan was taken aback. Logically, Maycon wouldn’t be Raymond’s biological grandson.Sofia greeted Raymond, “Nice to meet you. You’ll forgive me, but the family lineage is a bit confusing to me.”“With time and dedication, you can figure out who’s who.” Raymond joked and winked.“These are my parents, Erasmo and Olivia.” Sofia stepped back for Raymond to see them bett

Raymond decided to answer Brigitte’s question, “Well, my dear, it depends on how you want your party to turn out. If you want a successful party, with beautiful memories to cherish until you reach my age, don’t invite Caio’s mother. Believe me, you don’t want Pamela as your mother-in-law.”“Why not? I don’t know her.” Brigitte is astonished.Raymond kindly smiles, “But what is there to know? Everything they say about her is true.”Brigitte frowns. “I still can’t help feeling that I would be unfair to her if I didn’t give her at least a chance.”“You better come to Victoria with me when I return.” Raymond winks, “That way I can protect you. Don’t bring Caio along because he might get stressed out. Better yet, don’t even tell him because he might try to stop you.”“Okay.” Brigitte is a bit hesitant but decides to agree. After all, she needed to see for herself who the infamous Pamela Chaves was.Josias approached Raymond. “Everything okay, Ray?”“I was getting to know my grandson’s futu

The next day, the Reis family was discussing a very important matter at the breakfast table.“So, folks? I think Maycon is old enough to understand what I’m going to ask.” Rosemary smiles sweetly.“Oh, Heavens, here comes the bomb...” Beto pretends to be feeling pain in the left side of his chest.“Should I, or should I not, move to Lafayette Mansion’s quarters?”Teresa spits out her coffee, extremely surprised.“PFFF... What kind of question is that, Rose? Cough, cough...”Maycon bursts into laughter, not understanding what it would imply for Rosemary to move closer to Thierry.Pedro scratches his nose. “I think you guys need to marry first, don’t you think?”“Thierry’s ‘room’ has been transformed and expanded. I’m eager to live with him!” Rosemary asserts, “And everything looks so beautiful...”“I know, Ingrid proudly showed me yesterday.” Teresa nods.“Well, daughter, you know your old man has always hoped you would marry as a virgin.” Beto looks sideways at Maycon, unsure if he co

Josias was restless, pacing in circles in his mansion’s study.The door opened, and Melissa laughed at her husband being found like that.“It seems like we’re playing around in circles until we sit on a chair when the music stops abruptly.” Melissa closes the door, laughing.Josias stops circling and smiles at his beloved wife, “It sounds like a joke, but I’m thinking about the next decision that will change our lives.”Melissa approaches him. “If it makes our lives better...”“I always make decisions to improve our lives, my dear.” Josias chuckles and takes both of her hands, “We have Rocha Constructions, our main source of income. We have shares in Vasconcelos Fabrics, shares in Cardozo Perfumes, we own a hotel, and I make a little money at Crystal Blue.”“A lot, huh?” Melissa gets dizzy with so many assets and sources of income that Josias lists.“So I was wondering if we could invest in another venture.” Josias smiles like an anxious boy.“On what?” Melissa is curious.“I was thin
Building My Life Chapter 2834 New Venture for 2008
Josias was surprised by Reuben’s reaction when he asked the question.“Reuben, what happened?”“Uncle Josias, I’d better not answer that question.” Reuben gulped.“Why not? Am I intruding on the couple’s privacy?” Josias smiles understandingly.“That’s almost it. You already have enough problems.” Reuben smiles nervously.“OK, I won’t insist. But you know you can count on me for anything, huh?” Josias looks at the door, “Looks like they’re coming.”The conference room door opens. Alfred, Caio, and the new director of the finance department entered and greeted each other.“Good morning, gentlemen.” Josias positioned himself in his chair, “Reuben, our secretary, will take note of this meeting. No word to the press for now.”“Yes, Mr. Rocha,” replied the other director.“From today onwards, consider the start of our next venture. I talked to my wife, and she accepted the idea of having a party and ceremony hall to rent to anyone who wants to throw their parties.”The announcement impacte

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? 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

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
