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 outside ? _ _ 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 well ? _ _ _ _ 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 Charles 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 sounding 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 drive home from the office takes at least an hour and a half while the hospital is only half an hour away by 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 broken 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 ?
