2021-09-30 19:28:01Melissa is uncomfortable when Pamela asks if everything is okay between them.
Pamela gives a slight smile, "I think I forced the situation."
"Pamela, don't get me wrong." Melissa tries to justify herself, "But the truth is, I was getting used to not having you around. Of course, I don't hate you anymore. Josias told me that last year you wanted to ask for forgiveness on your knees. That's not necessary."
"What do you mean?"
"We somehow forgive you. We no longer hold grudges. We even learned that the Freire family is on good terms with your parents."
"Yes, I'm happy, fewer people to hate."
"But then, to think we'll be friends again... I don't know."
Pamela decides to end Melissa's annoyance. She stands up, "I understand perfectly, Melissa. We've said and done a lot of horrible things to each other. Forgiving is difficult, perhaps impossible. However, I ask that we at least treat each other with civility."
"Oh, that's for sure!"

After Vera is embarrassed among countless warehouse employees, Beto is still calmly in front of her, just waiting for the opportunity to speak."Are you over yet?""You're the one who's already ended this illusion that you're going to make me a spinster!"Beto takes a deep breath, gathering patience, "Vera, that lawyer was from the supermarket. Mr. Ramos has a lawyer to serve the best interests of the business we work in. And I, as a manager, needed to meet him.""And what did he come for today?" Vera neighs.Beto smirks, "Oh no, I'm not going to tell you supermarket secrets. Do you want me to get fired? Who's going to pay my apartment bills? Who's going to pay Rosemary's diapers?""Maybe you can ask Josias Rocha for a job!"

Building My Life Chapter 656 Bitter Revelation
The next day, Vera entered the cemetery using her walkman, coincidentally listening to the song "Who Wants to Live Forever" by Queen. Her black dress and sad face indicated that she was going to pay a visit to her father's grave.When she found the headstone, she remained standing in front of it. Vera turns off the walkman and removes the headphones from her ears, and puts the object in the purse that was slung over her shoulder. Tears start to come down her eyes.Beto approaches coming from another path and finds his sister from afar. He feels a slight start and then rushes his steps to get closer to her."I'm glad I found you here," Beto speaks suddenly.Vera turns around and finds her brother wearing a black shirt and black dress pants."Did you think I wouldn't come?"

Claudio and Wallace talk about the likelihood of annulling the ridiculous marriage that Vera insists on maintaining."Is your current wife suffering from Stockholm Syndrome?" Claudio asks in a worried tone."She is not feeling love for the abuser." Wallace growls, "I doubt if she ever had some kind of love for me. It was just a matter of winning me over and defeating Pamela. Something I'll never understand, as Pamela never did anything bad to her.""Maybe she's one of those pampered daddy girls who think the world belongs to them.""It might be." Wallace shrugs, "The bottom line is that I was about to marry her thinking I was the first man in her sex life. Her father forced me and her brother punched me for it. However, everyone now knows that was a lie.""False motives and coerced marriage. This applies perfectly to one of the reasons for annulment, not divorce. With the annulment, Vera Freire will irreversibly become Vera Reis."Wallace sm

The fact is that now Romualdo will wait for a building to appear in one of Lagoon City's upscale neighborhoods!Or would it be better for them to tell the truth and be reprimanded as if they were elementary school children?Octavio enters the room at this point with some blueprints under his arm.

Everaldo takes it as an unfunny joke that Josias is at risk of losing his job. "May the ten plagues of Egypt come upon him who fires Josias!" he exclaims.Tiago widens his eyes. Since everyone thinks Everaldo doesn't belong on the material plane, he believes that Romualdo will have the water in his house full of blood, that he will get boils, that Silva Constructions will be invaded by frogs, and that the eldest son of Romualdo will die."Calm down, Everaldo!" Tiago exclaims and gestures, "Before you invoke the Divine wrath, I'll explain. Josias is helping his best friend's family get rid of a whore. Romualdo thinks this distracts him from working at the construction company. To cover up for the lawyer who he had just visited us, Josias said he was a client of Europe Garden.""Ok, I got it." Everaldo nods.Tiago is in doubt. Did he really understand? "That's why I'm afraid Josias will get in trouble because we don't have any client at Europe Garden."

Stacy smiles sweetly, "They've stopped joking about the Madeira sauce and are enjoying the dish. I just hope they can afford it.""Well, we accept credit cards and checks." Marcelo smiles slightly, "And my brother ordered us to give a discount to anyone related to Josias Rocha.""They must be working around here as they are still wearing their construction clothes.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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
