Building My Life Chapter 2390 Live with Mom Again
Josias smiles victoriously at Daryl, the biggest loser he’s ever had the displeasure of meeting. Not even Adrian Barbosa gave him such disgust...“Daryl, there was a time when we were friends.” Josias reminds him.“That was before you lusted after my brother’s wife!” Daryl yells, “Did you know he didn’t attend the festival?”“It’s his loss.” Josias shrugs, “The entire Espírito Santo watched. The LCN audience went through the roof.”“The audience went wild because everyone wanted to see Cláudio Guzman bleeding like a pig, unconscious on the catwalk!” Daryl yells, “People want to see controversy on TV, man!”“Then Kelvin shouldn’t have lost the attraction.” Josias comments jokingly, heading to the drinks table, “Want a drink?”“I never know if you’re going to put cyanide in when my back is turned.” Daryl declines the drink with a gesture.“It was enough to say ‘no’.” Josias pours himself a whiskey, “Well, to answer your question, no. The businessmen who donated and helped me with the fa

Reuben is surprised at the possibility of moving in with his mother. He clears his throat and starts expressing his doubts.“Guys, I don’t mean to be rude. But, would that be the best idea? I’m turning eighteen next year, and I intend to marry Caroline. My mom can get in the way of the process, don’t you think?”Isabel takes her grandson’s hand, “Reuben, we believe your mother will need help and support. She was a long time without having your coexistence. At least, while you’re still engaged to Caroline, you can live here or somewhere else.”“Don’t you think it would be better for her to live here?” Reuben looks around.“We don’t know how she’s going to react to living back in Green Park.” Francisco says, “We can invite her to live here as a test. If she adapts, she can choose another house. The fact is, she’s going to want to be independent, and it’s up to you, Reuben, to decide whether you move in with her or not.”Reuben still has doubts, “People say I’m a lot like my father. What
Building My Life Chapter 2392 What Josias Didn’t Do
At Crystal Blue, Josias is smiling mysteriously, waiting for William to confess to his fashion show antics instead of him bringing up the subject.William continues to stare at the menu without choosing a dish, “Hmm... Melissa told me something that intrigued me.”“What she said?” Josias asks, holding back from laughing.“She said you didn’t do anything to fix the shame that was laid down by Mrs. Vasquez.” William continues to stare at the menu, “No wonder the Vaztrans company is in dire straits.”“Vaztras is run by her husband.” Josias corrects William.William doesn’t give up and looks up, “I imagine she must opine and poke her nose into everything, undermining Mr. Vasquez’s authority as employer and husband. Anyway, she must have had a hard time when Rodrigo found out, huh?”Josias pretends to jump on William’s bandwagon, “I don’t know, Will. I went backstage and saw that the Claudio Guzman sticker was still there. Afterward, I saw Rodrigo getting ready and being made up in the com

Josias trips over his desk, causing his computer monitor to wobble, and some personal objects to fall. He drops his glass of whiskey, shattering to the floor with an ominous crash.Ivan just faces Josias’s shocked reaction with a victorious smile, envisioning the arrest warrant that he will have edited to drag Josias to the joint.Josias is careful not to step on the shards and turns to Ivan, “What kind of bad joke is this, dude?”“DUDE?” Ivan breaks the smile and is outraged, “You never manage to keep your composure, eh, Mr. Rocha?”Josias doesn’t care, “I want to know how you consider me a suspect, and then ask the suspect if he had the victim killed, hoping I’d answer ‘yes’!”Ivan shrugs, “Sometimes we ask that question just to get a reaction.”Josias rages upon realizing he’s fallen for the trap, “Hey, the fact that I reacted with surprise—”“It means you are to blame.” Ivan completes with a provocative smile.“I had my back to Cláudio Guzman!” Josias screams.“I know.” Ivan cross

Josias now receives Raymond in his office. Both hug each other fervently.“Ray, I haven’t had a chance to speak to you one-on-one during the fashion show yet. I’m sorry, but I’ve been very busy.” Josias apologizes.The hug is broken, and Raymond comments, “Don’t feel guilty. I imagine that your routine became more tumultuous after the terrorist attack. So, any clues?”“Yes, we have a clue!” Josias goes to the drinks table to make Raymond a drink, “I’m the prime suspect, according to the police station!”Raymond’s jaw drops, “It can’t be! Josias, you had your back to the model!”“Well, you know, they think I hired the guy so I wouldn’t get my hands dirty.” Josias hands Raymond a glass of brandy.“This is ridiculous. I read everything about Cláudio Guzman. He gave you a headache in 2001 concerning Katherine and J.J.’s deaths. He’s the one who might try to kill you, not the other way around!”“Exactly!” Josias goes to the desk, “But don’t worry about it. I’m under the protection of God,

At Rocha Constructions, it’s Thierry’s turn to visit Josias. The young photographer hands over the envelope that Daryl has been eagerly coveting.Josias takes the envelope and removes the contents. He looks at the pictures with pleasure and interest.Afterward, he looks at Thierry and notices the uneasiness in his face, “Is there a problem, Thierry? Don’t you want to sell me the pictures?”“I’d give you the pictures for free.” Thierry responds, “The problem is, I ran into Mr. Mountain, and he wanted the pictures too.”“Mr. Daryl Mountain?” Josias is startled.“Yes.” Thierry pours himself a drink, “He got more excited as soon as I said the pictures were for you.”Josias chuckles, “Don’t worry about the imbecile. He only asked you to buy the pictures because he knew they were for me.”Thierry takes a sip of whiskey, “It’s not like that, Mr. Rocha. This isn’t the first time Mr. Mountain has asked me for pictures of you. The first time, he asked for a picture of your son dancing with Miss

At Crystal Blue, Daryl and Patrick continue to talk. “YOU want to quit, Pat? That is the most meaningless talk I have ever heard in my entire life.” Patrick is wide-eyed, “You have to believe me, Mr. Mountain! Your child is becoming arrogant and dangerous! Soon, even you won’t be able to control him!” Daryl refuses to believe the accusations, “My son is just reacting to years of teasing from you. Pat, if you spent your energy making peace and living peacefully with my son, we wouldn’t even have this conversation.” “OK, OK, I promise I won’t let my job down anymore when it comes to Felipe being the maître d’!” Patrick gestures and starts to sweat. “And you promise to live peacefully with my son, being friends?” Daryl raises an eyebrow. Patrick is silent for long seconds, then answers, “I need to get back to work, sir.” Patrick leaves the office and slams the door shut like he’s running away from some dinosaur. When Daryl

At the General Hospital, Cláudio is still resting in his hospital bed, attached to devices and an oxygen mask that guarantee his survival. The electrocardiogram monitor leaves doctors at ease with heartbeats at normal levels.“It’s only a matter of time before he wakes up.” The doctor who operated on him reports this to the nurses. Everyone leaves the room.In the hallway, Josias appears and addresses the team, “Good morning, doctor. How is the patient?”“He’s still the same, Mr. Rocha. Thank you for your concern. Few people come to visit him. It seems he has no relatives alive or living nearby.”“I had some boys investigate.” Josias alludes to the ‘boys’ of Tiago, “We found no living parents or brothers who live far away. I believe that Cláudio is already a guy alone in the world...”Perhaps this explains Cláudio’s eagerness to have a rel

At General Hospital, Luís had a long conversation with Dr. Matthew Hogan. Matthew was checking the X-rays of one of the patients who had been at the Lafayette Supermarket when the accident occurred.“A disastrous event, don’t you think, Mr. Vasquez?” Matthew asked, his back turned to the visitor. “Thank goodness it wasn’t one of your family’s buses.”Luís saw this as an opportunity to bring up the subject. “Dr. Hogan, can you tell me the circumstances under which you slept with my aunt?”Matthew let the X-ray sheets fall to the floor. He turned to face the visitor and saw him smiling mischievously.“You didn’t come here to consult with me.”“Not at all.” Luís leaned against the examination table. “I want answers.”“It’s not something I take pride in sharing.” Matthew shook his head somberly.“Don’t worry, doctor. I was also a victim of my own aunt’s lust.” Luís assured him with the same smile.Matthew, however, was left dumbfounded, too horrified to think clearly.“She really is a pro

Rocha Hotel, late afternoon. Luís, reinstated in his job, was back at his old desk checking what he had missed. The door opened, and Eugenio appeared. “Comfortable, Luís? Good thing David didn’t change anything.” Luís frowned as he replied, staring at the computer, “He didn’t mess with the office, but he really messed things up here. There are tons of computer viruses coming from adult sites.” Eugenio blushed to the roots of his hair. “That bastard son of Josias must be his worst regret.” Eugenio closed the door before expressing what was stuck deep inside him. Luís smiled slightly, agreeing. “He’s downstairs, taking care of the receptionists and bellboys like old times.” Eugenio cleared his throat before continuing, “Luís, what do you intend to do regarding the front-page story in the newspaper?” “I need to handle a few matters first,” Luís replied in a dark tone. Eugenio grew more fearful. There was an aura of destruction around Luís that he had not known before. No one wou

A good opportunity to rub his victory in certain people’s faces... At the Teodoro Building, Pedro checks important matters on the computer while Daniela sorts the mail into the tenants’ mailboxes. The landline ringing breaks the monotony of the lobby. “Teodoro Building, Pedro Reis, good morning?” “Pete! This is Felipe Mountain!” “Should I hang up on you if you say something stupid?” The unusual question made Daniela raise her eyebrows. Curious, she decides to get closer...

Bernardo approaches Erasmo and leads him to the nearest chair. Maggie served him a glass of cold water. She said, “Calm down, Mr. Vasquez. You’re hyperventilating.” Erasmo grabs the glass of water and drinks it eagerly. “Ah, thank you... phew, I really needed this miraculous glass of water. Where were we?” Bernardo scratches the back of his neck. “You called me ‘Bernie’ and asked for a cover story...” “Ah, yes, about Suzy being my business partner.” Erasmo smiled mischievously. “Did Suzy agree to such a story, Mr. Vasquez?” Maggie asked cautiously. “No, but that’s what the surprise is for, right?” Erasmo winked. “I want to surprise this bunch of fools who’s been whispering nasty things about the poor girl and the real reason she had lunch with Luis.” Bernardo and Maggie exchange awkward glances. Bernardo opined, “Aren’t they in a relationship?” “No, Suzy wants to date Felipe Mountain. Well, they could have been dating if it weren’t for João Paulo Queiroz’s disgusting articles
Chapter 3169 He’s Back
On the cover of the LCN newspaper, the headline blared in bold letters: HE’S BACK.Below it, a colorized and enlarged photo of Luís Vasquez toasting with Suzy Cogo.Jake had seen the annoying and intrusive photographer, so he left his post as maître to chase down the miscreant.But the photographer seemed to be a disciple of Batman or Peter Parker because he vanished without a trace.At the Vasquez Mansion, tensions were running high. Luís intended to take revenge against his aunt, but now, this issue had postponed the main concern.Olivia was reacting hysterically, not because of the article itself, but because it was Suzy — and not her...“This is OUTRAGEOUS!” Olivia neighed, disturbing the peace of everyone at the breakfast table.Erasmo, filled with rage, ripped the newspaper into shreds, throwing the pieces to the floor, confident that the servants would clean up the mess afterward.“We need to fight back.” Erasmo said, panting like a Spanish bull.Alan shook his head. “I can’t g

Neilton and Beto enter Café Montanha. Neilton’s helpers breathe a sigh of relief at the return of their supervisor. “We thought you got run over by that out-of-control truck!” “Not this time, Phil!” Neilton laughed as he went behind the counter. “I’m perfectly fine. I just picked up a lost box from my old apartment.” Beto pointed to the display case, where baked cheese and ham pastries mesmerized the customers. “But now you’re one of my happy tenants. Give me that pastry, please.” Neilton served the pastry but teased, “Does your wife know you’re eating cheese and ham?” “That stays between us.” Beto chuckled. He grabbed the pastry, but just as he was about to take the first bite... “ROBERTO REIS!” Beto nearly had a heart attack—figuratively—and looked toward the entrance. Josias approached him, in a good mood. “Does your wife know you’ve been sneaking pastries?” “Baked pastry, please. There’s not a drop of soybean oil in here.” Beto pretended to be offended. He just wanted to

At Crystal Blue, the patrons who show up for lunch are discussing the truck accident at the Lafayette Supermarket. Suzy walks in, finding Jake at his post as maître d’.“Jake, how are the investigations into the accident going? It’s all anyone talks about on the streets.”Jake shook his head. “They say the truck driver forgot to engage the handbrake. The truck was empty when it crashed into the wall. No one died – so far.”“What a horror.” Suzy took a deep breath, focusing on why she was there. “Has Luís arrived yet?”Felipe passes by and is startled when Suzy casually asks about Luís.“Suzy, are you going to have lunch or go out with Luís Vasquez?”Suzy turned to him, smiling affectionately. “That’s right. I need to keep him informed that I plan to invest in his uncles’ company.”“Don’t you think it would be better to talk about this with Mrs. Vasquez or Sofia Rocha?” Felipe asked, trying not to sound jealous.“I don’t think they like me; I can’t imagine why.” Suzy scratched her fore

Dylan and his men cordoned off the damaged area of the Lafayette Supermarket, ushering onlookers away before the supermarket structure harmed anyone else. The injured were transported by ambulance to General Hospital. Nadia was taken home. Thierry and Rodrigo remained nearby, answering questions.“Rod, you can go back to the cafeteria if you want,” Thierry suggested inside the management office.“I’ve been around and checked the truck. I need to give my testimony,” Rodrigo replied.Dylan entered the management office, finding the two gentlemen there.“Well, has anyone found the driver?” Dylan asked seriously.“He’s being questioned by one of your men outside,” Thierry said as he approached the blinds and pulled them back.He could see from a distance the pale and frightened truck driver, swearing his innocence while Dylan’s subordinate merely took note of what he said with an indifferent expression.Dylan broke the silence, “At most, Josias Junior will have to bear the costs.
