Wednesday. Josias enters Beto's building, noticing the presence of police officer Prates guarding the place. He doesn't ask questions and goes upstairs.
When he arrives on the floor of Beto's apartment, he knocks on the door.
Vera opens right away wearing a white and lacy nightgown, made of transparent fabric except for the private parts.
She widens her eyes, visibly embarrassed. "Oh, Josias! What a fright, I thought it was—"
"Wallace?" Josias roars past her and enters, "Are you still in love with the man who wants to attack you?"
Vera slams the door shut, frowning. Why is everyone thinking this about her?
"But of course not! I thought it was the policeman downstairs protecting me."
Josias sits in the armchair smiling mischievously. Lois Lane Syndrome? Well, it's better than Stockholm Syndrome!
"I want to talk to your brother." He announces.
"I'll see if he's awake." Vera heads to his room.
Moments later, Be

Pamela is sweeping the living room, wearing an apron and curlers in her hair. Vera is lying on the couch, idly, listening to Tina Turner's "Private Dancer". She shakes her head and feet in time to the music.Upset, Pamela turns off the radio and asks: "You keep listening to music just like your father! Isn't there anything to do?"Vera straightens up on the sofa. "Hey, why did you turn off the radio? Am I to blame if I have to stay hidden at home?""Why can't the cop accompany you to the supermarket?""Because I don't just stay in the warehouse. I have other places to go, and I don't want the cop following me around every room, especially the ladies' room!"Saying this, Vera remembers the day Prates grabbed her around the waist and took her to the bathroom. She smiles mischievously at the memory.Pamela cuts through her musings: "Honey, you better get a cloth and help me dust off the furniture.""Me, huh!" Vera gets up thinking that s

Tiago and Igor are meeting in Romualdo's room with Josias to talk about Marcelo's idea. Everyone is seated and Carmen has already served coffee."Well then, the Bento brothers have the floor," Romualdo says.Tiago begins: "Our younger brother visited us suggesting that we sponsor the Happiness Slum's soccer team. Stacy is hired as a waitress and she talked about how the team is excelling.""They are in the semi-finals." Josias completes, satisfied."All this is thanks to William Campos." Romualdo nods. As seen, everyone is watching the championship."It is the first time that a team from the lower class has achieved an excellent result." Igor continues, "If it's their competence to win this year, surely other companies will want to sponsor them. So Marcelo thought: why not us?""We have every reason to be the sponsors." Tiago concludes, "We live in the favela, the top scorer is Mr. Rocha's brother-in-law, and so the team is on an equal footi

"Mr. Reis is here to speak with you."Josias was getting a report from Octavio about the Silva building.The architect stands up: "I'll wait in the kitchen."After Octavio leaves and Ernesto closes the door, Beto sits down. "Well, Josias, now we can talk quietly."Josias leans back in his chair. "Well, I'm waiting."Beto takes a deep breath. He still doesn't know how to say, "First of all, Josias, I'd like to know what you mean by this. Are you willing to help me capture Wallace?""Yes, I want him to pay for attacking your sister. I don't care what he went through with Pamela or that Vera tricked him. Wallace has lost his mind and needs to be responsible for what he does. However, I'm only going to understand how Wallace has gone from being a quiet, God-fearing citizen to this maniacal abuser if you'll come clean with me. Because I feel like you know, I feel
Building My Life Chapter 575 The Confession (2)
Beto continues to tell how Teodoro's plan ended up turning against the Reis family and contributing to Wallace's transformation into a monster. However, as we saw earlier, Beto omits some details that could directly implicate him.He has not yet told Josias that Wallace was not robbed but rather beaten by him.Josias is flushed with indignation, "He knew there was no sexual intercourse, but he made Vera think he'd believed her lie just to continue the charade and get back at her later, on the honeymoon... who is this Wallace ?""I don't know, Josias." Beto shrugs, "If I knew Wallace back when he was a churchgoer, I would have the same question.""The worst thing is that his family is the complete opposite!" Josias scratches his chin, "Harold Freire is a good man, honest and hardworking. Isabel Freire is a sweet wife and mother. And Uélton Freire has become my best friend. They must be suffering a lot.""So, Josias, what do you decide?"<
Building My Life Chapter 576 Bad News for the Freires
"Where is Mr. Freire?" Josias asks as he sits on the couch."He's taking a shower, but he's about to leave." Isabel replies helpfully, "Want a glass of water or a cup of coffee?""Give me a glass of water. I'm avoiding coffee at night to sleep better." Josias responds."Oh sure, the heir isn't making it easy," Isabel replies jokingly and goes into the kitchen.Uélton asks cheerfully, "But isn't the maid there to prevent this?"Josias smiles slightly, “The maid is there to clean up the penthouse. She's not Alan's nanny. Melissa prefers to take care of our child for the first few months herself, to strengthen the mother-child bond. Once in a while who gets awake at dawn trying to make him stop crying it's me."Uélton is flabbergasted. At a time when men think that only women have to take care of their children, Josias shows himself ahead of time.Harold leaves the bathroom and appears in the living room wearing clean
Building My Life Chapter 577 I Promise, But Not So Much
Josias looks quickly at Harold and then at Uélton. Both men understand that Josias needs to help the police arrest Wallace. They nod slightly.Then, Josias looks at Isabel and smiles reassuringly: "Don't worry, Mrs. Freire. I will not be directly involved in capturing Wallace."Isabel collapses to her knees and cries on Josias's knees. "Thank you so much, my son! I feel calmer.""I still don't understand your objection, Mom." Uélton starts to get annoyed, "Are you thinking that Wallace is above the law?"Isabel gets up and wipes her tears. "It's not like that, son. I believe that what will help Wallace is love and understanding. Maybe he'll have to leave Seu Teodoro's building and come back to live with us. When he was with us, he was an angel.""Nothing like that, Mom!" Uélton strongly objects, "Wallace is already 25 years old, if he hasn't learned how to treat a woman with his family, he'll have to learn in jail! You're too o

Vera rolls her eyes and almost falls asleep as she does it. Sermon so early in the morning?"Beto, you can't do this to me." She complains, "I'm hungry and sleepy.""We need to define your situation here at once." Beto continues without being intimidated, "Vera, police officer Prates informed me that you left here as if you wanted to clear your head in the Main Square. Well, this cannot be repeated."Vera glares at Pamela, "I happen to go out, like you said, to clear my head before there's another crime in here!"Beto puts his hand on the glabella. "Argh! Can't you two get along peacefully? Do you want to stay in enmity forever?""As far as it's up to me, your sister doesn't even exist!" Pamela roars, "What she did is unforgivable!"Vera gazes at Pamela this time to ask her not to talk too much. Beto doesn't understand and keeps talking."Honey, that's not what I want for our family. Unfortunately, I've become the bond that binds you
