2021-07-01 19:24:46Pamela is more and more surprised by what Cristina said. Was that her mother, that lady who just wanted to sit on the couch and religiously follow the soap operas?
Cristina had a different attitude: that meekness and passivity of yore had disappeared and now we see a strong and determined Cristina to help her daughter.
Pamela pulls out two chairs for the two of them to sit on; the daughter with more urgency to sits down. "Mom, what are you saying?"
"You are the mother of this baby, and it is not fair to take my grandson out of your arms just because people don't like you." Cristina reasoned with her.
Pamela decides to pretend that she didn't know this, so as not to reveal that she is in cahoots with Jeremiah. "But, mother... this is horrible! Will I ever be at peace? Wallace is already willing to take over my son and tomorrow we are going to the registry office. Why do these people want to complicate things?"

At night, Josias is talking to the Campos family. He is sitting in Simeon's armchair while the others are on the sofa."And then, dear," Melissa asks, "What did Igor tell you?""He said the ideal option would be for William to be eighteen and have a stable life." Josias answers.William reacts discouraged. "By then, Wallace has already registered my son as his."Josias smiles and reassures him. "Don't worry, Will. Igor made sure this is not irreversible. The biological father always has more rights than his stepfather. It will be much better for you to fight for your son when you can provide for him. And preferably, married.""This is still going to take time," William responds with relief. The rest laugh."So it would be the case that we try." Simeon says, "Raymond agrees. Cristina is out of the cards.""Yes, Igor prefers that you plead for custody of the baby in court until William reaches the age of majority," Josias explains.
Building My Life Chapter 296 The Truth Comes Out
The discussion continues, now with William actively participating. He is angry, he even trembles with rage, and he can't take Pamela anymore. Pamela would rather die than admit that William is Caio's father, so she smiles weakly and begins to disguise: "Don't be a clown, William! I know you are dying to own my body, but we never—" "Enough of lies, you crazy!" William screams, frightening the others, "Everyone here already knows that the father is me! Caio, is that my son's name? So that's it, Caio is our son!" Pamela's mouth opens, and then she reacts: "And how are you going to prove that you are the father?" "In the same way that you will have to prove that the father is Josias," William replies. Pamela gulps. "Well, we never—" "Of course, Pamela, don't you remember?" William takes a deep breath to continue, "That night when we had a soccer game on the field here, and I caught you talking to Josias, thinking that the two of you were c

"Getting married, Pamela?" Wallace is gaping when he hears Pamela ask if he wants to marry her. "Have you become a lesbian? It's the man who asks the woman to marry him."Pamela takes offense at the question and crosses her arms. "So you're gay, because we have been dating for centuries, lived together, raised a child, but you never asked me to marry you! Do you want to stay like this all your life?"Wallace feels pummeled by the Reason. Pamela is right; they are already practically a family, without the required documentation!"Let's take advantage of that you have time off tomorrow to get married, so it will be easier for us to register Caio with your last name!" Pamela tries to coax him with some exasperation.It is Pamela's anxiety that makes Wallace curious. "Is something going on, Pamela? I agree that we need to get married, but that idea came a bit suddenly, don't you think?""There is nothing sudden!" Pamela snorts, pushes a chair, and sits

Pamela feels trapped as if she were an animal about to go to the slaughterhouse, but who insisted on hiding in vain from her destiny. She starts to sweat and shiver. The hands that hold the baby stroller also shake and that bothers Caio. He groans with impatience."Stop bothering the baby!" Melissa warns her."Pam, is that true?" Wallace asks her, frowning and very irritated, "You said you went yesterday to your mother's house, that you two made up.""Exactly, that's why I can't have talked to Josias," Pamela responds smartly.However, Josias was not going to allow the lie to continue; today was the day of truth: "I was visiting my girlfriend's family and Pamela came by surprise, giving insults and we ended up arguing. Some truths came out."Pamela's eyes widen and she looks at Josias as if she says: 'please don't tell!'"So that's why you went all weird back to the apartment." Wallace continues, "I knew, I felt that you were very anxious an

Josias narrows his eyes, trying to understand Pamela's last words. "What did you say? What did I get?""You won. Didn't want to be with Caio, take him on as a son? There, problem solved. You can have him."Josias widens his eyes in such a way that he is comical. "Are you completely out of your mind? Are you giving me Caio's custody just so I don't have to tell the truth to Wallace, so he can marry you?""Yeah!" Pamela speaks with emotion, tears are almost shedding, "Don't you understand, Josias? Marrying and being happy with Wally is the only thing I have left. Wally is the only man who respects me, who treats me with affection and dignity. You may even be right when you said that I don't feel love for him, but I still don't want to walk away from him! And that's what will happen if you or William opens the mouth."Pamela can't take it anymore and lets the tears spill down her face. Josias doesn't have time to get emotional; his mind is working, processin

At Melissa's house, all the people are together with Dora; they are still stunned by what happened a little while ago.Dora is lulling Caio to make him sleep. "So, guys, what went wrong?""Josias," William remains shocked, "why didn't you let me tell Wallace the truth?""Because of Pamela's proposal." Josias explains, with the serious and icy countenance of every CEO, "She guaranteed that she would disappear from the map, or at least she would leave Happiness Slum and she would never meet with us again; so that Wallace doesn't discover that I am not the Caio's father.""What a soulless wretch!" Melissa screams, "Did she give up her son's custody just to keep up the lie? There is the proof that she didn't deserve to be a mother!""She wants to get married and be happy with Wallace, although I don't think she loves him exclusively," Josias commented."Not really, but that's where I worry." William states, "If later on Wallace finds Pamela chea

Thus, anyone who did not want to participate in the turn of the year did not feel bothered by the fireworks.But this year, Josias and Melissa wanted to participate. They were happy with everything that happened and are confident that things would be better this year."What else can we want, baby?"

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
