“ I also know that Cartier only makes fine products , but you saw it too . The quality of Joana ‘s jade is so bad that I’m still a little worried .” I sensed something was off , so I added , “ Think of me being distrustful ,but I still think
I should find someone who knows about jade to take a look at it so I can feel comfortable . The main problem is that I’m pregnant now . If the quality of the jade is bad , I am worried that it might not be good for the child ifI put it . ”
Carlos agreed in the end and hung up the phone . So , I got up from the bed . Since Carlos lied to me that he was coming home , he would not come to my ward to see me .
I was tired from acting all day , so I decided to go out and relax .
The ward I stayed in was one of the best at Delta Hospital ; it was not only luxurious but also came with first – class facilities . When Joana stayed here the last time , I looked around and found that not only was there a _leisure area downstairs , but also a beautiful hanging garden on each floor . _ _ I grabbed my phone and went to the sky garden on the same floor I was on .
After wandering around the garden of heaven for a while , Isabel called me . “ Carlos has already left . His mother is still in the ward . It seems that his mother still does n’t know about her “ pregnancy ” with him . I was told that she made athere was an uproar in the room , and it took Carlos a while to calm her down ” .
“ I knew . ” I wanted to laugh just thinking about my mother-in-law making a fuss . “ Isabel , remember what I said . _ _ _ You have to let Joana know about this news when Carlos and his mother are not around . ”
“ I see , but if that old bitch doesn’t go away , then how can we make this move ? ”
“ She will go away . A hospital ward is not a place for recreation . _ If she ‘s alone , she’ll get bored . Just wait a little longer . _ ”
“ Beautiful , I don’t understand . Why did n’t you announce your pregnancy when you were fighting with that old bitch ? Would n’t things sort themselves out if you told her back then ? _ ”
“ If I told Joana about my pregnancy with this method , it would be counterproductive . First , Carlos will suspect my motives . _ _ _ Second , the bitch is not easy to handle either . She will definitely find ways to get theinformation . You also know that there is no such thing as absolute loyalty in this society . If we can use the money to achieve our goals , so can she . But using our current method is the best way to hide our goals . First of all , thisit wo n’t make Carlos suspect that I’m playing tricks and , second , it will make it convenient for Joan to make her move .
“ Make your move ? Are n’t you trying to teach that bitch a lesson ? Why are you letting her make her move ? _ _ Do you already know what she will do next ? ”
“ I ‘ll tell you about it later . _ I want to talk to you about something else now . ” I stopped . “ Isabel , I asked Carlos to bring me that special Cartier jewelry set he bought me tomorrow . _ _ _ _ HeI was a little reluctant . Do you think there really is something wrong with them ? ”
“ Did n’t you go to Cartier to buy it with him ? How can there be problems with Cartier products ? ” Isabel was skeptical .
“ The quality really doesn’t feel like it cost a few million . If Carlos is not up to something , then Cartier is deceiving consumers with poor quality products . ” _ _ _ _
“ Cartier will never deceive consumers with poor quality products ! _ _ ” Suddenly , a voice was heard near me , so I looked up , only to see Henriques Ribeiro standing in front of me looking at me . _
His sudden appearance gave me a great fright . When did he arrive ? I was n’t sure how much he ‘d heard about my conversation with Isabel . It would be fine if he only listened to the jade part , but if he had listened to the previous part ,that would be bad .
As I thought about it , I forced a smile . “ Mr. Ribeiro , when did you arrive ? ”
