Building My Life Chapter 2857 I Will Live in Rocha Mansion
At Rocha Constructions, Josias finds it very bizarre that Felipe thinks Caroline had something to do with the shot he took.“Felipe Mountain, I’m disappointed in you!” Josias frowns, “Not only did you fall in love with my daughter, even though she is engaged to another guy. Now, to prove that you don’t love her anymore, you’d rather accuse her of being the shooter?”Felipe remains impassive. “What’s the problem, Mr. Rocha? If Caroline was the shooter, it would make sense for Pat to want to take the blame for her, assuming the guilt to protect her. But since you know the truth, you’re making sure that Patrick is released.”“Exactly, he will be released to go to Serra.” Josias goes to the drinks table and refills his glass, “And that should make you happy.”“It does. Since you can’t tell me who it was, then I’ll just go with what I know.” Felipe smiles ironically.“You don’t know,” Josias warns him, “Don’t go around accusing Caroline because it wasn’t her!”Felipe nods slowly. “Okay. It
Building My Life Chapter 2858 Concerned about the Boss
Felipe returns to Mountain Penthouse as the night falls outside.Kelvin is in shorts enjoying a cup of tea while the song “That’s How People Grow Up” by Morrissey echoes through the radio speakers.“It’s been a while since I’ve heard this singer,” Kelvin comments. “Back in the 80s, he... What’s wrong now, nephew?”Felipe collapses into the armchair with a grimace and angrily kicks off his shoes, hitting them on the coffee table. “I tried to talk openly with Josias Rocha, but it was like talking to a wall!”“Did he not tell you what you wanted to hear?” Kelvin asks, not very interested.“What did I want to hear?” Felipe retorts with another question. He realizes that Kelvin is not taking him seriously.“You wanted Josias to tell you that he was protecting Reuben or Carol, that’s why he let Patrick go,” Kelvin replies with a sarcastic smile.“I don’t see what’s so funny about that,” Felipe complains.“You should team up with Izzy to write a storyline for ‘Love Spins the World’. That wou

Flávia and Angela were talking about their children."How dare your son encourage the Princess of Lagoon City to leave my son? What's so bad about Reuben?" Flávia questioned.Angela smiled disdainfully. "You never understand, do you? It's impossible! How many times do we have to say that it's because of his idiotic father that we don't want Caroline with your son?""Respect Uélton! He's not here to defend himself!"Karen began to wake up from the slap she received."Argh... Where am I?""You're on the floor, where you belong!" Flávia responded fiercely, turning to Angela, "Reuben can't be punished for a mistake his father made!""Oh, he can, and he is!" Angela disrespectfully replied, "I suggest you go out on the streets and listen to what people are saying about your 'prince'. Come on, Flávia! If you have respect for your cousin Melissa, you should encourage your son to step back and let a real man be the Prince of Lagoon City!""But Caroline is in love with Reuben, she loves him! It

Reuben appeared with suitcases in hand as Hector carried two more.David, in turn, stood at the entrance with his arms crossed, scowling."Did you sleep standing up there?" Reuben wasted no time in mocking, "Looks like you're in the same spot as yesterday!""And you wasted no time in using the staff. Ridiculous!" David growled."Wipe the drool dripping from your mouth, rabid dog!" Reuben retorted, "Hector, where will my room be?""Right this way, Mr. Freire," Hector humbly replied."HECTOR!" David finally barked, "You have no obligation to obey this intruder, do you hear me?"Hector pretended not to hear the neighing boy and carried Reuben's luggage to the second floor.Reuben smirked mockingly at David and followed the butler.On the stairs, Caroline met him and lit up her face with a smile, "Reuben! You really came...""I thought you didn't want me to live here, darling." Reuben winked mischievously.Caroline chuckled and descended the steps, approaching her fiancé. "You get me. I d

At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan decided to take advantage of everyone being gathered at breakfast to ask a question."Erasmo, is Luis Vasquez any relation of yours? He left a resume at the hotel."Sofia immediately choked on the coffee she was drinking, "Cough, cough, cough...!"Alan gently patted her back, "Are you fine, dear?""Thank you..." Sofia sighed in relief, blushing and looking at her father.Erasmo, however, seemed unaffected by his daughter's distress and casually replied, "Yes, Alan. Luis is my nephew, my younger brother's son who lives in Victoria. He's having trouble finding a job there. The situation is getting difficult.""Yes, Victoria is not a very big capital and many people from the surrounding cities need to go there to work, increasing the competition for a job. Meanwhile, our city just keeps growing." Alan smiled, "Okay, if Gene Cogo has no objection, he will be hired as a supervisor to replace Lauro."Olivia grinned, "Thank you, Alan. Hey, is it true what they sa

Luis showed up at the Rocha Hotel, looking for Eugenio Cogo's office. He ran into Sybil in the hallways and was enchanted by her beauty."Hey, cutie! Where is the manager's office?""I'd recommend the police station for you to be arrested for sexual harassment!" Sybil was offended."What? Relax, cutie! I don't intend any harm." Luis thinks he's doing great at seduction.Sybil shook her head. "You're too late.""For the job interview?""No, for trying to win me over. The manager's office is just around the corner to the right." Sybil quickly walked away from the flirtatious dude.She went to the kitchen, frowning and grumbling.Benjamin found her this way and got worried. "What's wrong, Sybil?""A natural pick-up artist tried to seduce me, but I told him I already belong to you." Sybil suddenly smiled, her face lighting up in front of the hunk Chef Teixeira.Benjamin grinned slyly, "Is that so? I don't remember asking you out. But my friends are already demanding the wedding invitation

Luís was now at Café Montanha, getting to know the place to mingle with the surroundings of Lagoon City.Neilton approached him with a cup of coffee with cream and mint and cubes of green corn cake."Looks delicious," Luís smiled at the waiter."Are you new around here?" Neilton asked curiously."I’m new in town and this café, but you guys have gained a new patron!" Luís tried a piece of cake and his eyes lit up."I'm glad you liked it. Feel free to make yourself at home," Neilton smiled and walked away.Olivia appeared in the café and recognized her nephew by his muscular back.She held back from being obvious. After all, Rodrigo and Neilton were nearby and could catch her.Approaching her nephew, she sat down without waiting for an invitation. "Hi, Luís! So, did you get the job as a hotel supervisor?"The question was so loud that Rodrigo and Neilton heard it from the counter.Luís almost choked on the coffee he was drinking. "Hi, aunt. I haven't received an answer yet, but I'm conf

At Vaztrans, Luis was telling his uncles about his interview."Look, I think I nailed it. Mr. Cogo was really impressed with my resume." Luis was smiling.Erasmo rubbed his hands together. "Great! We need to gain more points with our son-in-law's family. We hit the jackpot when we paid tribute to Josias, finding the bus he boarded to Happiness Slum.""Very interesting...""So, keep your ears open. At any moment..."Luis's cell phone rang and he promptly answered, "Hello?""Hello, Mr. Vasquez? This is Eugenio Cogo from Rocha Hotel." Eugenio smiled from his desk."Hello, Mr. Cogo!" Luis exclaimed for Erasmo to hear, making his uncle's eyes sparkle with excitement."I'm calling to inform you that you have been selected." Eugenio informed, "Can you come in tomorrow to formalize your hiring and sign your employment contract?""Yes, yes, yes, I'll be there first thing in the morning!" Luis replied enthusiastically."OK, thank you so much for your willingness. See you tomorrow." Eugenio hung

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.

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
