Building My Life Chapter 2911 Who Will Fix My Door?
If he were weak of heart, Hamilton would have the same heart attack as Beto.Josias appeared as a cartoon character, emanating a powerful and at the same time scary aura.Hamilton was shirtless and in shorts, feeling unworthy in front of the gentleman in a suit and tie."Mr. Rocha! What the heck are you doing here?""Watch your language, Mr. Lombardi. We need to talk honestly." Josias responded seriously."And since when do we need to be honest? I never lied to you!" Hamilton glanced at the crooked door, "And who will take care of the repair?""Could you please stick to the conversation?" Josias asked with an imperial voice.Hamilton shrunk on the couch. His hand grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV.Josias continued standing, with his arms crossed. "Why did you lie to Beto about your daughter succumbing to Felipe's charms?"Hamilton turned pale and momentarily speechless. "I didn't lie! I told the clearest truth!""Mr. Lombardi, you better confess the truth to me and not
Building My Life Chapter 2912 You Don't See Daniela As a Woman
Josias decided to get to the bottom of the conflicting story."Felipe, there's something wrong that I would like to solve. It's being said out there that you're in love with Daniela Lombardi and that you're willing to steal her from Pete. But I see that you want to work separately from her. How do you plan to win her over if you intend to stay away from her?"Felipe was shocked by the accusation."Uhm... maybe the truth is what you are seeing. I don't want to win over Daniela Lombardi.""But Mr. Lombardi has been pressuring you to do so, right?" Josias insisted, "He categorically said that he saw you and Daniela interacting romantically.""That's a big lie!" Felipe yelled desperately.Felipe started to pant in anxiety. He had decided to work in the penthouse fearing that a situation like this would happen.It's good that Josias is seeing his intentions firsthand!Why did Hamilton decide to lie about something that doesn't exist?Josias continued, "I'm glad for that, Felipe.

Days passed.Beto recovered from the operation and rested in his private room.Teresa and Pedro reassured the tenants who sighed with relief. Thank goodness!At Marçal Publishing, Rosemary talked with Maggie and Bernardo."Rose, we're so glad your father recovered!" Maggie said, "We felt terrible for his suffering.""Thank goodness it was only suffering and not death," Rosemary crossed herself."When is he getting out of the hospital?" Bernardo asked."By the end of this week, Dr. Hogan assured us," Rosemary smiled."So, he will have time to attend the wedding," Maggie sighed in relief."It may seem insensitive, but I would hate to have to postpone the wedding because of this," Rosemary admitted, "Everything was planned.""No. It's not insensitive. We understand you very well," Bernardo assured."Now, regarding Hamilton Lombardi..." Maggie shook her head, "What was that absurdity? We didn't mention him in the article because we didn't want trouble.""The guy induces a heart attack in
Building My Life Chapter 2914 You're Hot for Pete!
Josias prepares to hear what Beto has to say."Josias, I don't want this to spread. Rosemary can't find out about this. Not now, when she's focused on the wedding.""OK, got it." Josias worries. What could be the big secret involving Rosemary?"Do you remember the circumstances in which she was born?" Beto fidgets, trying to find a better position among the pillows."Yes, it was quite chaotic." Josias smiles nostalgically, "I had just married Melissa for the first time and she was pregnant with Alan when Pamela caused a commotion saying that I was Rosemary's father.""Yes, and Wallace almost left my sister at the altar to marry Pamela, wanting to take care of the baby, until I showed up and announced to everyone that I was the father," Beto recalls the past."That contributed to your father's heart attack." Josias adds, "But you and Pamela used to be in bed from nine at night until nine the next day! How wouldn't she get pregnant?"Beto pauses and reveals, "Would you believe me if I t

Teresa appeared in the lobby of the Teodoro building after hearing screams and was horrified to see Caroline staggering after being slapped.Felipe, like a good gentleman, caught Caroline before she fell to the ground.Daniela smirked maliciously, thinking the gentlemanly gesture was intentional. "Oh, how kind! He holds the maiden so she doesn't fall! Caroline, make up your mind: Reuben, Felipe, or my man!""What is going on here?" Teresa approaches them."Mrs. Reis, I came to announce to Daniela that her father has been fired from Crystal Blue for obvious reasons," Felipe explains, "But Miss Lombardi is misinterpreting everything and offending Carol.""SHE slapped me first!" Daniela yells, feeling unjustly treated.Caroline massages her sore cheek. "It's true. And I see that you deserved it. You're not good enough for Pete, and I'll do everything possible to break up this relationship!""Carol, don't overreact!" Teresa also disagrees with this."You see, Tess, how I don't share the s

At Mountain Café, it was Reuben and Caroline's turn to meet for a black coffee, but they weren't celebrating like Rosemary and Thierry were.Reuben was horrified to see the bruise on his beloved's face."Darling, tell me immediately WHO hit you!""Reuben, please don't make a big deal out of this." Caroline covered her cheek with her left hand while sipping coffee with her right hand."I have to. What kind of husband would I be if I didn't care?" Reuben approached to get a better look."Quite funny. You said you'll be my husband." Caroline smiled bitterly."Hey, I'm not joking about this.""No, you're not. It happens that Daniela—""IT WAS DANIELA? Why does she feel entitled to slap you? Who does she think she is?" Reuben shouted, attracting the attention of the other customers.Rodrigo approached them. "Hey, lovebirds, could you please STOP scaring off the customers?"Reuben swallowed hard, realizing the exaggeration. "Sorry, Rod. I'm just really upset to know that the daughter of the

I know you're all gray now, but age comes to us all, right? I'm getting there too..." Bernardo noticed that Maggie was present, "Okay, give my regards to Cristina. Maggie says 'hello' to you."Bernardo ended the call and stood up. "So, when do we make millions with this issue?"Maggie laughs, "How will we know? The finance and sales departments are STILL calculating the numbers! The print

Moments later, Daniela came down the stairs and passed through the lobby.Seeing Beto in good spirits and healthy, she smiled respectfully and greeted him, "Good morning, Beto.""Daniela, can we talk for a few minutes?""Yes." She approached the counter."I'm a little confused." Beto smiled, "My wife told me that you were eager to have Felipe Mountain as a coworker when he offered to work away from you. What's going on in your life?"Daniela swallowed hard. "Beto, I don't want to send you to the hospital again. Tess is too young to be a widow.""Thank you for your concern. But, explain to me. I'm still alive, and I'm still the head of the Reis family." Beto asked."Well... I didn't want Felipe to work in the penthouse just to avoid my father's rumors. Today is his last day of work. The gossip will stop. There's no need for any more drastic changes." Beto studied the future daughter-in-law's body language. She showed no signs of desperation or anxiety."So you're just looking at the p

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

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
