Chapter 102
Suddenly , I remembered the words Carlos uttered when he soothed my mother-
in- law when she pretended to have a headache . He said : ‘ Mom , do you trust your son or someone o
utside ? _ _ If you trust your child , don’t mention
it .more this . I know what I ‘m doing and it’s definitely not a mistake on my part . Also , she was initially
furious with Carlos spending a fortune to buy Joana jewelry , but she made up with Joana on the spot .
_ _After thinking about it several times , I was pretty sure there was something wrong with this bracelet
. _ _
Since something was wrong with Joana ‘s bracelet , could there be a problem with my jewelry set as w NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
ell ? _ _ _ _ Suddenly I ran back to my room . _ _ _ Pulling out the jewelry Carlos bought me , I
studied it carefully .the parts , and sure enough ,
I immediately noticed a disparity in terms of quality . This jewelry set was the latest Cartier flagship that
I had seen in a magazine , but I did n’t choose it because I liked it . Instead it was _ _only to have Charl
es spend a king ‘s ransom . _ Back
then , he readily agreed and I believed in the brand , so I didn’t examine it closely before buying . Never
in my wildest dreams did I think something worth millions would end _ _being an imitation .
Cartier is a big international brand , so I do n’t think they ‘re going
to rip off consumers with knockoffs and do something that ‘s just going to backfire on them . So , there
is only one possibility — all of this is the work of Carlos Morais ! what a
scoundrel! Just wait , I cursed inwardly . I grabbed my cell phone and called Carlos , purposely soundin
g anxious and panicked . “ Husband , come home immediately ! _ Something happened at home ! ”
“ What happened ? _ Carlos asked . _
“ I ca n’t tell you over the phone . Come home first , then we ‘ ll
talk . I deliberately hung up on him without telling him what had happened .
About half an hour later , Carlos returned home . _ This bastard claimed he was at the office , but the d
rive home from the office takes at least an hour and a half while the hospital is only half an hour away b
y car .Looks like that bastard was waiting for his opportunity near the hospital .
As soon as Carlos walked in the door , he asked , “ Honey , what exactly happened ? ”
“ Come with
me .” I dragged him to Joana ‘s room and pointed to the box that had been broken into . “ Look .”
“ What happened here ? _ ” Stupefaction was stamped on Carlos ‘ face . _
“ Bianca played hide – and –
seek with me before , and she hid in Joana ‘s bedroom closet . _ When I found her , I
noticed that Joana ‘s closet had been ransacked . At the time I thought it was Bianca , but she saiddid n
’t touch anything . I then opened Joana ‘s drawer and discovered that the lock on her jewelry box was b
roken and many pieces were missing . ”
“ How did this happen ? ” Bewilderment flooded Carlos ‘ face , “ Could it have been a break- in ? ”
“ My mind went there too and I even checked the lock , but there was no sign of tampering on
the lock . Besides , Dad’s been home , has n’t he ? I said intentionally .
“ That ‘s weird , then . Could it have been someone in the house ?
“ Someone in the house ? Could
it have been Victoria ? ” I clapped a hand over my mouth , disbelief etched into my face .
“ Victory ? Could it be cla ?
“ Who else could it be but her ? You and I would never go
through Joan ‘s drawer , nor would Dad . Bianca is still a child , so she wouldn’t do that either . Pamela
, on the other hand , hasn’t come home since she ‘s inschool . However , the mother has
been keeping Joana company at the hospital for the last few days and she only came back a little while
ago to see her father and change her clothes . Upon learning that my mother-in –
law had returned , Carlos ‘ face tightened visibly . she
is awise mother who knows her own child , and I believe this saying can also be inverted –
Carlos definitely knows very well the kind of person his own mother is _
“ Linda , have you seen this box in the drawer before it was opened ? ”
