Chapter 131
“ If you had n’t asked Henriques for anything , would I have fought with him ? ”
“ Did Henriques hit you ? _ That son of a bitch ! _ ” My mother-in-law began to curse . “ So he took your orders and then hit you ? _ How could such a thing happen ? We can’t let him get away with it . Let’s goto his house and find him . _ _
She said those words as if it were so easy to find Henriques . Upon hearing this , Carlos ‘ forehead creased into a frown . _ “ Who do you think you are ? Before you can find him , you ‘ll be kicked out of your house by yoursecurity guards .
“ Let’s call the police then . We’ll let the police deal with him . ”
“ Forget it . Do you think we’d be here listening to all your opinions if the police could help ? ”
“ So , you ‘re just going to let him get away with this ? ” My mother-in-law could not understand where Carlos came from .
“ We should at least make him pay for his medical and other expenses . _ _ _ _
“ Is money all you care about ? _ _ _ Carlos shouted and that gave my mother-in – law a jolt . “ What kind of attitude is that ? Are you saying I ca n’t worry about you ? _ ”
“ Mom , Carlos is in a bad mood . Please give him some time and let him handle it , ” I added , trying to be helpful . _ _
“ Deal with it ? If he knew how to handle it , he would n’t have been beaten up . ” When she was finished , she began directing her questions at me . “ When Carlos was being beaten , were you there ? ”
I shook my head .
“ And you let that happen ? Are you still his wife ? _ Finally , my mother – in – law found a scapegoat to vent her anger at her when she started yelling at me . “ Didn’t you know how to help ? If I had been there , I would have spankeduntil the
death ! ”
At this point , the only thing he could do was stare at her . _ Did she think this was a fight between two country vir – cans ? _ _ _ Beat Henriques to death ? _ _ She ‘s not serious about it , _is it ?
Henriques definitely got the upper hand when he beat up Carlos because if anything went wrong , his security would have . jumped and helped him finish off Carlos .
If someone had actually left a scratch on Henriques ‘ face , his security would have immediately thrown that person out of the building .
Getting no response from me , my mother – in – law thought she had nipped it in the bud . So she continued , ” I ‘m not trying to pick on you , but all you know how to do is boss Carlos around , and you ‘re practicallyuseless away from home . How dare you tell me what to do ? If I were you , I would be ashamed of myself .”
“ Are you finished yet ? ” My father-in- law lost his temper after a long silence . “ Carlos will take care of it . Can you please take a break ? _ _ _ ”
At this point , Joana intervened very gently . _ “ Mrs. _ Morals , maybe you can let them handle it . _ I ‘m sure Carlos knows what to do .
