Chapter 103
“ Bianca and I also played hide and seek yesterday . _ At that time , she also hid in Joana ‘ s closet , and I was worried that she might have gone through her things , so I even checked right away , but I did not notice thatproblem .”
Hearing this , Carlos was absolutely certain that this was all his own mother ‘s doing , and a hint of fury crossed his face . _ _ Even so , I feigned ignorance and commented : ” Husband , there is no one else in the house outside ,so I think the possibility of Vitória having done that is monumental . Why do n’t we file a police report ? ”
“ Don’t file a police report first . ” Carlos vetoed my idea .
“ But what other resource do we have ? The jewels belonged to Joana and disappeared in our house , so we have to give her an explanation . ”
“ I know . Do n’t panic first and leave that to me . _ Wait a moment here . I need to make a call . After saying that , Carlos left Joana ‘s room . _ Since I knew who he would call , I naturally didn’t follow him ., but I stayed in the room and waited .
A few minutes later , Carlos entered . “ Linda , I’ve already cleared up the issue of the missing jewelry . It was Mom who took the jewels ” .
“ Mom got it ? Why would she take Joana ‘s jewelry ? _ ”
“ Joana wanted to wear the jewels , so she asked her mother to take them to her . Mom , however , lost the key , so she picked the lock . _ ” It seems that both Carlos and his mother want to blame Joana . SheYou must be totally hurt right now , but that ‘s not my main objective .
Assim, fingi uma expressão de alívio, como se um grande peso tivesse sido tirado de meus ombros. Então, foi isso que aconteceu. Fiquei realmente chocada, pensando que a Vitória havia feito uma coisa dessas.”
“ If it had been a stranger doing it , he or she would have taken it all instead of leaving a little bit behind , ” said Carlos .
“ That ‘s true . After all , Joana ‘s most expensive bracelet was not stolen – I repeated . Afterwards , I reached out and took the bracelet . Seeing me do it , Carlos ‘ expression became a little anxious . _ _ _ _ _ I mocked forinside , but externally I exclaimed in surprise before blurting out , “ Husband , why does this Cartier bracelet look inferior ? _ _ ”
“ Inferior in quality ? That ‘s impossible ! ” Carlos countered somewhat clumsily . _
“ I’m not a jade expert , but I ‘m not exactly an amateur either . ” I then pretended to carefully inspect the bracelet . “ This jade is very common in the market . What ‘s going on here ? ” With that , I stopped for amomento. “A Isabel não disse que a jade da Cartier é única nesta cidade? Será que… Marido, você acha que a Cartier está vendendo imitações para enganar os consumidores ignorantes? Se esse for realmente o caso, então eles são realmente desprezíveis.”
