Building My Life Chapter 3022 The Victim Becomes the Culprit
At the Vasquez Mansion, Josias continued pressing Sofia and Luís for an explanation about what happened with João Paulo. Luís cleared his throat and spoke up. “Ahem... Mr. Rocha, did you know that because of this nonsense, I lost the chance to date a beautiful girl?” “Really? Do I know her?” Josias smiled in that peculiar way, leaving it unclear to Luís whether he was being understanding or mocking. “Yes. Her name is Suzy Cogo, and she’s Eugenio Cogo’s niece.” Luís crossed his arms, deciding to believe that Josias wasn’t taking him seriously. “Eugenio Cogo is the hotel manager. You’re the supervisor.” Josias spoke without much emphasis, dragging out the conversation and confusing the listeners. “And your son, David, works at the reception, courting her behind my back,” Luís grumbled. “They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” Sofia felt her heart racing, the atmosphere becoming tense. “Uh... Luís, there’s no need to insult anyone. David probably didn’t even realize he w
Building My Life Chapter 3023 Luís "Seduces" Suzy
At Rocha Hotel, Luís bumps into Eugenio in the corridors.“Luís, good morning.”“What’s so good about today?” Luís snaps back, his tone sharp and rude.Guests and hotel staff are shocked by Luís' behavior, shaking their heads and moving away from the grumpy man.Eugenio clicks his tongue. “I see you woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. Want to talk about it in my office?”“If I talk to you, you’ll just send me to HR!” Luís retorts, scowling and bitter.“Nothing is so bad that it can’t get worse.” Eugenio opens the director's office door and ushers the supervisor inside, insisting on helping him.Inside, Luís sighs, his demeanor shifting from tough to tearful. “I can’t take it anymore, Eugenio. It feels like being a Vasquez in this city has become a life sentence!”“Aren’t you exaggerating a bit?” Eugenio sits down at his desk.“I can’t convince a half-baked journalist to remove my title of ‘Spanish Stallion.’” Luís grumbles, punching the air as if João Paulo were there, “I punch

At Rocha Constructions, Alfred and Caio enter the presidential office and find J.J. reading the files that Alan had given him about Vasconcelos Fabrics.“Hey, buddy! How’s it going getting acquainted with one of your father’s companies?” Alfred smiles as he approaches him.“Great.” J.J. keeps his eyes on the file. “I’m learning a lot and coming up with some ideas.”“Will you have a managerial role there?” Caio asks excitedly. “All of Uncle Josias’s children do.”“Except Carol. She’ll continue studying Journalism.” J.J. looks up and faces them. “Maybe I should do the same.”“Study Journalism?” Alfred asks, astonished.“No, study Business Administration or something like that. Alan has a degree. David has experience with his mother’s store. And I?”Alfred reassures him, “You have experience in the countryside, at your grandfather’s farm. By the way, what’s going to happen with it?”“It’s mine, but it will be managed by the overseers there.” J.J. smiles, “And I also have some ideas for it
Building My Life Chapter 3025 Kelvin Finally Proposes
A few days had passed with Karen recovering in the hospital. Now she was waking up and had enough strength to hold and interact with the baby.“We still don’t know his name,” she commented in a fragile voice, smiling as she held her little angel.Kelvin, more excited, suggested, “What’s your father’s name?”“It was Antônio…”“Then we can name him Antony Britton Mountain. What do you think?”Karen nodded, smiling. “If my brother had a son, he would be Antônio Britton Jr.”“Oh, his name is also Antônio?” Kelvin became more interested in Karen’s family. After all, he was about to propose...“Yes, but we affectionately call him Tony.” Karen gently stroked the baby’s fine hair as he slept peacefully.“Wait, wasn’t Tony the name of Josias’s late father?” Kelvin felt awkward. The comparison would be inevitable...“Come on…” Karen frowned. “No one’s to blame for something like that. It was just a coincidence. The Britton family didn’t live here in the 80s. I came here looking for opportunitie
Building My Life Chapter 3026 David’s Sabotage?
At General Hospital, Karen shakes her head.Kelvin is surprised. "What’s wrong, dear?"“I must be dreaming. What did you say?” Karen’s eyes widen as the paleness in her face gradually fades with each passing minute of the conversation.“Yes, you’re wide awake.” Kelvin begins to laugh. “You’ll be Mrs. Mountain, Mrs. Kelvin Mountain. Isn’t that what you wanted?”“But… What happened? Why did you change your mind?” Karen asks, fearing this might be temporary, just a spur-of-the-moment decision.“I almost lost you. I didn’t want to raise a child without a mother. You would’ve been the second woman I lost if it weren’t for God’s mercy,” Kelvin replies tenderly. “That’s why I decided to stop being foolish and do the right thing.”Karen is touched, feeling her heart race. But this time, it doesn’t make her feel sick.Maggie enters the room cautiously. “Good morning! May I visit?”Kelvin straightens up, smiling more than ever. “Maggie, meet the next Mrs. Mountain in the family!”Maggie, still
Building My Life Chapter 3027 A Good Business Relationship
At Café Montanha, Kelvin updates his family about Karen and the baby."My son will be named Antony Britton Mountain. What do you think?" Kelvin asks with indescribable paternal pride."I'm very happy for you, nephew." Francisco gives a thumbs up. "We were talking, and we decided not to hassle you about your marriage.""That’s the right thing to do," Isabel echoes the sentiment."Thank you, everyone." Kelvin sighs with relief. "Finally, Melissa can rest easy, and we can lay to rest the rumors that I want to win her back."Isabel grins mischievously. "Well, Kelvin, it’s not like you’ve never thought about it. We know Melissa isn’t an easy woman to forget.""You were married to her for many years. It’s natural that you miss her," Francisco comforts him with an empathetic smile."Yes, but today, all I’m allowed to have from Melissa are memories. The past will be cherished in my mind and heart." Kelvin sighs melancholically."Do you want a coffee, nephew?" Francisco gestures toward the cof
Building My Life Chapter 3028 Crystal Blue Back to the Mountain Family
Josias notices Rodrigo entering the presidential office at Rocha Constructions. He gives a slight smile."Hello, Rod! How can I help you?""Um... It seems like I'm interrupting something." Rodrigo becomes nervous, "I can wait in the adjacent room—""Don’t waste your time. We’re short on assistants, as Reuben will be staying permanently in Rio de Janeiro." Josias stands up again."I wanted to let you know that my cousin Kelvin is going to marry Karen Britton," Rodrigo announces, noticing the perplexed looks from Josias and Caio.Caio shakes his head. "Didn’t I tell you all the Mountain family is bold and forward?""Come on, stop being so critical, buddy!" Felipe becomes annoyed, growing bored.Josias nods seriously. "I wouldn’t have wanted this to happen, but it seems that Karen’s near-death experience has moved Kelvin. If he can handle the consequences, I won’t object."Rodrigo smiles with relief. "Thank you, Josias. We wanted to inform you so you wouldn’t feel deceived. And as for yo

The next day, J.J. wasted no time talking to Josias about his admission to Vasconcelos Fabrics. “Dad, I talked to Mr. Reynaldo Borges, a cool guy, and he welcomed me.” J.J. meets his father in the office of Rocha Mansion. Josias, dressed in a tie and formal attire, nods in approval. “Very good, my son. So, how does it feel to be back in the land of the living?” “Wonderful. And how are things at Rocha Constructions?” Alan was about to enter but left the door ajar upon hearing that question he dreaded the most. Josias responds nonchalantly, “We’re doing fine. Your older brother is taking care of everything. In fact, if you don’t see me around, it’s because I’ll be traveling to the Caribbean with Melissa.” “Oh, how nice! Good thing you guys have a private jet.” Alan can’t hold back anymore and steps inside. “J.J., take it easy. Just because you had a plane crash doesn’t mean all planes in the world are bound to fall. Don't curse our father on top of that.” J.J. is taken aback by

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

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
