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
Building My Life Chapter 2835 Not Having the Guts to Open Your Mouth
At Crystal Blue, Josias has lunch with Beto and they talk about current issues.A surprised Josias took two sips of wine to digest the latest news. “Really? You, Rosemary’s father, allowed your princess to move into the quarters of the new man in her life?”Beto smiles satisfied, “I’m glad I didn’t have a heart attack like my father when Vera announced that she would remain married to Wallace even after he tried to r*pe her on their honeymoon.”Josias shook his head. “That was different, Beto. Vera was very foolish to have said that, which in the end, wasn’t even true. I imagine that she regrets to this day having caused your father’s death.”Beto nods, “Yes, you’re right. Anyway, my father always wanted better things for Vera.”“He shouldn’t have come up with that plan that complicated everything. I think the only good thing that came out of it was that you and Pamela had Rosemary.”Beto suddenly started cutting his filet mignon with extra strength. Josias still doesn’t know the trut
Building My Life Chapter 2836 Brigitte Is Caught In the Act
Caroline begins to research Patrick’s situation after her conversation with Reuben. After having lunch with her mother and grandmother, she went straight to the Teodoro Building.There, after being welcomed by Chris Brown’s song “Forever”, Beto welcomed her with a wide smile.“Hello, Carol! It’s always a pleasure to see you here. Have you ever felt intimidated by the favela?”“Why would I feel intimidated? This is where my father was reborn.” Caroline smiles gently.She looks at Teodoro’s homage portrait and continues, “And if it weren’t for your wonderful father, I might not even be alive today.”“My father is the best.” Beto grins, “Did you come to talk to Rosemary? She’s moving into the Lafayette Mansion, I don’t know if you know.”“She texted me, but I’m old school, preferring to discuss these matters in person.” Caroline jokes.In fact, having Rosemary send that text message became the perfect excuse for Caroline to show up.Going to Beto’s apartment, she found Teresa and Rosemar
Building My Life Chapter 2837 Overprotective Mother
Raymond and Brigitte don’t know how to explain to the others that they’re going to Victoria to talk to Pamela.Caroline, Rosemary, and Teresa are standing on the couch, waiting for an explanation.Raymond finishes chewing and swallowing the piece of the pie. “It’s delicious, Tess.”“The explanation will be delicious.” Teresa states, “The more you look scared, the more I feel like the story is good.”“Mrs. Reis, I’m sorry. It’s better to make things clear.” Brigitte apologizes.Rosemary begins to put the pieces together. “Brigitte, are you going to Victoria?”“Yes, Rose. I need to meet your mother to know for myself whether or not she deserves to come to our wedding.” Brigitte responds respectfully.“And you two agreed on this without talking to us.” Caroline crosses her arms.“Brigitte, believe what they say.” Teresa asks, “I haven’t lived with Pamela, but I know categorically that she doesn’t deserve your attention. I’ve never been curious to see for myself what she’s like.”“I think

At Crystal Blue, Daniela and Felipe had the scare of their lives.Reuben was standing in front of them.“What’s wrong, guys? Am I so handsome that I scare you?”“No one gets scared because of beauty, you creep!” Felipe gets up abruptly, “Get out of my restaurant NOW!”“Never. I need to straighten things out with you.” Reuben smiles slightly.Daniela already had her phone in hand, “I’m calling the police now...”Reuben, with the agility worthy of a Hollywood actor, snatches Daniela’s phone before she can dial Dylan.“HEY! Give me back my phone, you thief!”“I want to talk to you about the reason why you’re so scared. Where are the security cameras in here?” Reuben narrowed his eyes, “Felipe, do you prefer to have a WOMAN working with you here? And then I’m the retarded one, huh?”Felipe shakes his head. “You’re the one accusing yourself, not me. Besides, how could I have the courage to put a woman in danger?”“I’m working in here because the danger has passed.” Daniela asserts.“Passed
Building My Life Chapter 2839 Let This Matter Die
Josias and Melissa meet at the Rocha Constructions headquarters. The couple enters the boss’s office.“Do you want a drink, honey?” Josias points to the drinks table.“I’m still afraid of that table.” Melissa confesses, “Every time we meet here, you always point to that bottle.”“I just wanted to know if you wanted to relax a bit.” Josias kisses her cheek and goes to prepare a drink for them, “After all, you’ve been out and about all day.”“Of course, I needed to spread the news.” Melissa smiles, approaching him.“Nowadays we have something called cell phone, dear.” Josias jokes as he prepares two glasses of brandy.“Oh, but it’s much better when I see people’s surprised reactions.” Melissa takes her drink.Josias, however, starts putting the pieces together. “Um... What news have you been telling everyone about?”“What other news would there be, Josias?”“Our vacation to Cancun?”“No!” Melissa sips her drink, “The ceremony hall, for sure!”Josias does ‘PFFF’ and coughs violently.“Co
Building My Life Chapter 2840 Reuben Is Not Retarded
At Rocha Constructions, Josias keeps Alan in suspense about who will run the Rocha Hotel.“Son, why can’t you be happy that you’ll run the headquarters while I take a vacation?”“Don’t get me wrong, Dad.” Alan sits on the couch, “I want you and Mom to have a great time. You could go to Paris to visit Grandpa Vernon and Grandma Elza. But, I worry about the future of the hotel. Rocha Hotel is part of our legacy.”“Exactly.” Josias nods slightly.“So, you intend to leave someone who has no experience or age to run the most luxurious hotel in Lagoon City?” Alan raises one eyebrow.“Who are you talking about? David?” Josias chuckles, laughing nonstop.Alan is not offended, but relieved. “Oh, Dad, what a joke! You got me.”Josias stops laughing and takes a deep breath, “Sigh... I wasn’t joking. I never intended to leave David in charge. It was you who jumped to that hasty conclusion.”Alan gets up and goes to the drinks table. “After that, I need a drink to relax.”“Okay, help yourself. But
Building My Life Chapter 2841 The Slap
Josias and Melissa traveled to Cancun.With that, the command of Rocha Constructions was entirely in Alan’s hands.Caroline was restless in the mansion. She should have talked to Josias about Felipe and Daniela’s suspicions, but she was so furious that she decided not to worry her parents.David, the observant brother, tried to approach her.“Sis, I see you’re worried. What’s the problem?”“Don’t worry about me, David.” Caroline smiles and heads to the pool area, “Do you know who will be the general manager of the Rocha Hotel?”“I still don’t know. And I don’t even know if I should go to work today.” David grumbles, “Lauro Medeiros must be gloating, thinking he’s the one appointed.”“Alan was very calm yesterday. Which means it won’t be Mr. Medeiros.” Caroline chuckles.As they approached the pool, David also smiled. “Good for him. But it’s good to see you smile again, Carol.”Caroline sits on a lounger. “Why do you like me so much, David? You should hate me.”David sits next to his s

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
