Building My Life Chapter 3053 Matthew Breaks Free
In Neilton’s apartment, he and Benjamin try to calm an angry David after the conversation he had with his mother. Everyone is still in their pajamas, and Benjamin is shirtless. “David, calm down, buddy!” Benjamin tells David to sit on the couch. “Your mother must not have thought straight!” “You’re right, she didn’t think!” David complains sulkily. “She has a nephew who can take care of everything in Rio, where the stores are headquartered. My goal is to work side by side with my father!” Neilton raises an eyebrow. “I hope you’re not thinking about the absurdity of usurping Alan’s place. You already have the hotel chain, while J.J. has Vasconcelos Fabrics. Carol, it seems, will take care of the buildings and hotels in Rio.” “Carol is studying journalism, though she doesn’t need to work if Reuben uses his brain and does well in Rio.” David responds begrudgingly, “But according to my mother, I don’t even deserve the hotels! She hasn’t thought about all those years I’ve given my bloo
Building My Life Chapter 3054 Brigitte Takes Action
General Hospital, Matthew Hogan’s office. Matthew has just spilled the truth that will set him free and imprison the Vasquez family in a spiral of intrigue and problems. “What... what does that mean?” William asks after a few seconds in shock. “That’s exactly what you heard, William.” Matthew nods seriously. “Mr. Vasquez came here with some pain in his ribs because you kicked him or something like that. He wanted me to create a false test result stating that he was in critical condition and that a broken rib nearly pierced his lungs or other vital organs.” William remembers the story and starts to turn red with indignation. “Oh, that old filthy swindler!” “Calm down, William. I’m telling you this so you can understand once and for all.” Matthew gestures. “I understand, doctor.” William glares at Matthew. “I just don’t understand how the Vasquez family managed to catch you so easily to ask for something like this.” “How did they ‘catch’ me?” Matthew raises his eyebrows. “Surel

At Pizzeria Campos, Caio meets his father. William is sweeping unusually hard, wearing a scowl. “Dad, you called me, and I got worried.” Caio closes the gate. “It’s for us to worry indeed, son!” William replies, stopping his sweeping. “Sit down, you’re going to need to.” Caio sits at the indicated table. William does the same. “Prepare yourself: my leg, for now, cannot be fixed.” Caio smiles sympathetically. “Is that why? Did the doctor promise anything?” “No, I was the one deceived by the diagnosis and ‘cure’ of another ‘patient’,” William responds bitterly. Caio notices the emphasis on the keywords. “Any reason for me not to believe the patient and his cure?” “We’re talking about Erasmo Vasquez,” William huffs. “Uh-oh... I’m not liking this...” Caio raises his eyebrows. William leans forward. “Yes, son. Dr. Hogan was unwillingly ensnared in a web of lies. Erasmo Vasquez was not on the brink of death from the kick I gave him. At most, he had some dislocation and muscle pain
Building My Life Chapter 3056 William Wants to Cause Trouble Again
William and Caio carefully discuss what to do to help Matthew. “Dad, what are you thinking of doing with this latest bombshell?” William smirks wickedly. “I’ve always caused discord among the people here. Do I still have the practice and skill?” “Maybe you do. But I worry about possible blowbacks, especially if Uncle Josias doesn’t approve. Is it true that the lawsuit between Uncle João Paulo and Luís Vasquez won’t go ahead?” William shakes his head. “No. It was Luís Vasquez’s lawyer who approached Josias, explaining that such a lawsuit would be burdensome and costly to the public coffers, something like that.” “I thought Damascene Lawyers was a private agency. Uncle Josias pays a fortune to be their client,” Caio chuckles, “And my dear wife works hard handling marriages, divorces, and wills.” William smiles faintly. “It would be interesting if Josias’s will fell into her hands.” Caio shakes his head. “No, Dad. Brigitte has been talking to Alan about many things, and Alan remai
Building My Life Chapter 3057 Taking Care of Health
Josias and Beto are taking a stroll in the banquet hall of Rocha Events Hall.“Here it is, my friend.” Josias gestures around. “What do you think of what you see?”“I think everything is very beautiful, Josias.” Beto is emotional. “The hall is quite spacious, just what we’ll need.”Josias looks at his friend. “Beto, how have you been? I heard the news that your children are undergoing heart exams.”Beto bites his lower lip. “You shouldn’t stress about that, my friend.”“What do you mean?” Josias furrows his brow. “I need to know; I want to help.”“How can you help me?” Beto raises his eyebrows.“By sending the best cardiologist in Brazil,” Josias replies seriously. “Just as I’m offering you the best event hall for your son to get married.”Beto smiles again. “This will serve us well.”Teresa and Rosemary approach, coming from the kitchen.“Dear, you can sign the contract. This place is perfect!” Teresa is smiling, but she notices the gentlemen weren’t talking about the wedding. “What’
Building My Life Chapter 3058 I’ll Keep My Word
As they leave for the parking lot of Rocha Events Hall, Teresa pokes Rosemary’s back.She understands the message and approaches Josias. “Uncle Josias.”“Yes?” Josias turns to her with a patient smile.“I’m sorry if I overreacted. I didn’t mean to be rude.”“I don’t consider you rude at all, Rose.” Josias hugs her.“I can’t even think about the idea of Pete dying so young,” Rosemary laments. “It’s already hard to think about my father. He’s approaching sixty and needs to retire from the building’s management as soon as possible.”“Hasn’t he delegated tasks to Pete and Daniela?” Josias raises his eyebrows.Rosemary smiles by the left corner of her mouth. “Yes, but one day I showed up at the building and found him glued to Daniela, talking about the accounting as if he needed to teach her. Daniela is a professional accountant. She was very polite in not shooing my father out of the office.”Josias bursts out laughing.Not too far away, Teresa comments to Beto.“Come on, dear. I’m curiou
Building My Life Chapter 3059 The Idea Takes Shape
In the Teodoro building, Daniela is assisting with collecting rental payments from tenants. “Miss Lombardi, how are the wedding preparations going?” the curious tenant asked. Daniela smiled. “Everything is going wonderfully. My boyfriend’s family is checking out that new event hall, Rocha Events Hall.” The tenant raised his eyebrows, astonished by the luxury. Beto, Teresa, and Rosemary entered next. “Daniela, hasn’t your boyfriend returned from the hospital yet?” Beto asked. “He called to say he was grabbing a bite at Café Montanha,” Daniela informed him. “Maycon was hungry.” “Well, they had to fast due to the exams,” Teresa laughed. “Is everything alright here? I can take over at the front desk.” “I really wanted to get back to the office computer,” Daniela and Teresa exchanged places. Daniela went to the office, and Rosemary followed behind. “So, Rose? Was the venue approved?” Daniela asked dreamily. “Yes, Daniela. You, as the bride, will love it,” Rosemary took a deep br

Josias and Melissa met at the Rocha Mansion, in her office. “How is Isabel, dear?” “Izzy is well. She’s just a bit worried about Francisco,” Melissa replied while flipping through printed scripts. Josias sat down on the couch. “That’s concerning. Francisco is over seventy. He appears strong, was fit when I met him, but age comes for all of us.” Melissa joked, “Please don’t remind me that we’re approaching fifty.” Josias laughed heartily. “You hardly look it, dear. You still look gorgeous and attractive.” Melissa blushed like the teenager from Happiness Slum she used to be. “Anyway, Isabel is also over seventy. It’s great that she passed the direction of the telenovela to you. The ratings are promising,” Josias continued, confident as always. “Beto chose Rocha Events Hall.” Melissa looked up at him. “Oh, how nice! So we’ll have another wedding this year.” “Yes, and I hope Beto is alive to witness at least his eldest son’s wedding,” Josias became melancholic. Melissa nodded, k

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
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.
Chapter 3140 Let’s Request a Transfer
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
