Building My Life Chapter 3127 Fired and Hired in 24 Hours
Felipe was horrified at the sight of Suzy. “SUZY! For God’s sake, don’t do this to me!” He rushed over and hugged her. Suzy couldn’t hold back anymore, and tears streamed down her face. Jake appeared in the doorway. “Suzy, I told you Mr. Mountain was busy!” “Jake, don’t worry. I’ll take care of this.” Felipe turned to his father and uncle. “Do you mind?” “No, son, if she came here, it’s because she needs to talk to you. Come on, Kelvin.” Daryl pulled Kelvin out. After the door closed, Suzy stepped back, wiping her tears. “Oh, I must have smudged my makeup.” “You’re beautiful even without makeup, Suzy.” Felipe pulled up a chair, the same one Daryl had been sitting in. “Come on, tell me what happened. Why aren’t you wearing the hotel maid uniform?” Suzy sat down. She took a deep breath. “David Rocha fired me.” “WHAT?” Felipe kicked the desk, startling Suzy. “Felipe, if you’re going to stress out, I’d rather leave. I don’t want to cause you problems; I didn’t come here for tha
Building My Life Chapter 3128 Everything Is Settled
At Crystal Blue, Suzy was surprised by Felipe’s job offer.“Felipe... you want me to work here?”“You can work as a waitress or in a higher position.” Felipe smiled, eager to encourage her.“I don’t know what I could do here besides serving.” Suzy lowered her head.“You can help me.” Felipe came up with a plan. “My father has been helping me with the accounting. But he’s planning to open a branch of the restaurant in Sunset Village. If you help me with the management, we could lighten my old man’s load. What do you think?”“I don’t know anything about accounting.” Suzy lifted her head.“I’ll handle the accounting, and you take care of the rest.” Felipe smiled and winked at Suzy. “Are we on the same page?”Suzy finally smiled, wiping her tears. “Felipe, since you’re so eager to hire me, I think I’ll accept.”“Great! Let’s go to the bar and celebrate!” Felipe headed to the door and opened it.Suzy walked out, feeling much more upbeat than when she entered.At the bar, Jake approached th
Building My Life Chapter 3129 Caio, Interim CEO
Erasmo and Sofia were having breakfast in the dining room of the Vasquez Mansion. Their expressions were far from cheerful.“Dad, when will we have our family united and happy again?” Sofia asked as she sipped a cup of unsweetened coffee. The bitterness of the coffee symbolized what Sofia felt.Erasmo sighed as he cut the pancake with his knife. “I don’t know, sweetheart. I’m very worried about your mother and your husband in Paris, along with João Paulo the Troublemaker.”“They’re not going to cause any problems at Vernon Queiroz’s funeral. Not my husband.” Sofia shook her head.“I trust your husband’s discretion too.” Erasmo smiled faintly.Erasmo’s phone rang, and he answered it. “This is Matthew Hogan! Hello?”On the other end, Matthew spoke from the hallway of General Hospital. “Mr. Vasquez? Your wife is showing signs that she will wake up any moment now.”Erasmo stood up abruptly, dropping the knife on the floor.“Dad, what happened?” Sofia was genuinely startled.“Your mother i
Building My Life Chapter 3130 It’s Better I Stay Close
Erasmo and Sofia rush into the hospital. Matthew is nowhere to be seen, but another doctor greets them with the smile they were hoping for. “Good morning, Vasquez family. Are you ready for the visit you’ve been waiting for?” “YES!” Erasmo and Sofia exclaimed at the same time. “Okay, I’ll allow you to go in one at a time.” Sofia nudges Erasmo. “You go first, Dad. You’re the husband, and you have priority.” Erasmo feels a lump in his throat. “Thank you, daughter.” “In the meantime, I’ll try to call or text Alan, if the worst hasn’t happened in Paris.” Sofia brandishes her phone. Erasmo enters the room where Olivia is resting. She looks quite comfortable in the hospital bed. Her left arm is connected to multi-parameter monitors tracking her blood pressure and heart rate. An experienced nurse is removing an IV bag that had been dripping medication. Olivia opens her eyes and gives a slight smile. “Dear...” “Don’t strain yourself, sweetheart. Your daughter and I are here.” Erasmo
Building My Life Chapter 3131 Sharing Secrets
At General Hospital, Sofia enters Olivia’s room and finds her mother awake, talking with her father. “Mom...” “My dear daughter...” Olivia’s eyes are filled with tears. “Don’t cry so much, Mom.” Sofia stepped closer, emotional. “It’s so good to have you back.” “Your father said Alan had to travel... Vernon Queiroz...” “I know, it’s sad news.” Sofia replied absentmindedly, “But Alan will be happy when he returns and finds you alive and better.” “Yes, my grandson A.J. needs me. Where is he?” “Engrácia is taking care of him.” Erasmo stands up. “Sit here, daughter. I’ll leave you two to talk.” “Thank you, Dad.” Erasmo and Sofia switch seats. Olivia waits for Erasmo to leave and close the door. “Mom, what’s with that look? It seems like you want to tell me a secret...” “I WANT to tell you a secret.” Olivia looked at her daughter with distress. “Shh... Don’t be one of those people who want to confess sins because the time is coming. You are NOT dying today, do you hear me?” So
Building My Life Chapter 3132 Breaking Barriers
At General Hospital, Sofia is horrified when Olivia shares a dark secret. “MOM!” Her eyes are welling with tears. “Is that why you felt so much about Luís leaving...?” “Yes, dear. I wanted him back. Having Luís away from me is a constant reminder of what we did! I didn’t even get a chance to talk to him honestly... the poor thing must be hiding out in Spain, refusing to come back here because he feels guilty!” Clearly, Olivia is hiding the “little” detail that she had been harboring sinful desires for her nephew for years. Sofia swallows hard. “Mom, it could be something else. Maybe Luís confessed to my uncle and aunt, and now they’re forbidding him from coming back.” “But they would’ve told Erasmo when he called!” Olivia exclaims, horrified by the possibility. “What if my uncle is emotionally blackmailing Luís with that?” Sofia suggests. “If Luís doesn’t return to Brazil, his secret would be safe. If Luís comes back here, my uncle would tell everything to my dad.” The multi-pa
Building My Life Chapter 3133 Opening of the Melissa Mall (1)
The inauguration of the Melissa Mall took place on a Saturday. As a result, many people who would normally be working took the opportunity to celebrate yet another historic achievement in Josias Rocha’s legacy. A crowd of admirers stopped in front of the creatively designed two-story mall, shaped like the letter ‘M.’ When the people saw the aerial photo, they playfully marveled. “He, he... the mall is shaped like the letter ‘M,’ how creative!” “M for ‘Mall’ and ‘Melissa.’” “That Josias Rocha is truly in love with his wife. That’s why the concubines he finds never stand a chance!” David walked past the group gossiping about this, frowning. He would never consider his mother as a ‘replacement,’ ‘concubine,’ or ‘the other woman.’ The project team was dressed appropriately. J.J. spotted David approaching with the same frown from a distance and stopped him, “Where do you think you’re going, man?” “Get out of my way, J.J.!” “No way! You’re not passing without smiling for the cam
Building My Life Chapter 3134 Opening of the Melissa Mall (2)
Thus, the Reis and Lafayette families appeared at the opening of the Melissa Mall as planned. Caio approached them, noticing the absence of the patriarch.“Hey, where’s Beto?”“My dad had a slight discomfort when he buttoned his shirt and felt it tightening on him,” Pedro explained.“Oh, Jeez, is he okay?” Brigitte asked, extremely worried.“Yes, he’s going to watch the ceremony at home with Tess,” Rosemary replied.“Oh, what a relief. Look, you brought Jean Luc!” Brigitte leaned over the stroller.Thierry smiled with paternal pride. Jean Luc, in turn, was sleeping despite all the noise and commotion from the adults.“He wakes up wanting to eat in the early morning,” Rosemary joked, causing laughter among the women.Daniela stepped back a bit, thinking about the possibility of becoming a mother herself.Diane noticed her and approached her. “What’s wrong, Daniela? Are you yearning to be a mother too? With someone big and virile like Pete, it shouldn’t be too hard...”Daniela pursed he

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?

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

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
