Chapter 118
What plan does he have that requires him to put up with this ? He gave me the jade necklace and now he plans to send the parents away ?
A question that kept floating in my mind popped up again . What does he hope to get out of me that made him plan all of this ?
After Carlos left , he never came back . _ He just called me and said the company was having a big problem so he probably could n’t come back today .
I was a little confused when I heard him say that . Was Joana wreaking havoc on him when she found out about my pregnancy ? But that was n’t Joana ‘s style . _ With how cruel she was and her ability to endure , she would have pretendedwho did n’t know I was pregnant , and so would look for an opportunity to slip me some abortion pills and give me a miscarriage .
Just when I was thinking , Isabel called me . “ Linda , Carlos ‘ company is in trouble ! _ ”
“ Are you sure ? ” I asked her . _
“ Sure , I’m sure . Leonardo just told me about it . _ He said that Carlos ‘ company failed to secure a large commercial contract , and the amount is around 100 million . _ _ _ Now Carlos is seriously shaken by this andis in
a fool . ”
“ Failed to secure a contract ? This ca n’t be right . How did something like this happen ? ” I was still a little suspicious .
“ You don’t have to be suspicious . It is a fact that his company failed to secure the contract . At the moment , Carlos is still thinking of a way to compensate for this , but I think he probably has no way to fix this .
“ It seems that
that ‘s karma for all your bad deeds . _ Not even God can bear to continue watching this . ” I scoffed . ” In that case , Carlos probably won’t have time to focus on me and I do n’t need to keep pretending . ” “ you arewrong . You need to be at 120 % . My guess is that when Carlos ca n’t find a solution , he ‘ll immediately come looking for you for help . _ After all , you know a lot more people than he does in Barra . ”
I came to a sudden conclusion when Isabel reminded me of this . I finally understood why Carlos kept putting up with me . He was n’t afraid of me ; he was afraid of the Morais Family behind my back .
My father worked in Barra for many years and had many friends . While dealing with Carlos was n’t as easy as stepping on an ant , it was n’t particularly difficult either .
And many of Carlos ‘ businesses were acquired when I reached out to my father ‘s friends . Although he had worked hard to build client relationships over the years and had a few regular clients , most of them would n’t necessarily make it .business with him .
When I realized this , I could n’t help but sneer . “ And here I was wondering why Carlos treated me so well . _ So it’s because he was afraid of my father ! ”
