Chapter 51
“ Husband , do n’t accuse Joana of lying ! ” Letting out a sigh , I said as I put an anguished look on my face . “ It’s not her fault .”
“ What do you mean it ‘s not her fault ? _ Whose fault is it then ? _ Carlos asked . _ “ Did someone force you to blackmail others ? ”
“ Bingo ! You guessed it right ! Someone forced her . ”
Joana , that bitch , did n’t she warn me not to tell anyone ? Well , I could not leave Carlos uninformed . Also , I hoped to make them both feel disgusted with each other . _ _ _
“ What ?! _ ” Carlos was speechless .
“ Calm down and listen to what I have to say . _ Just now , I went to console Joana while she was crying a lot . She confessed that it was Mom who made her do it . ” I told Carlos the whole conversation between me and Joana .
Upon hearing this , Carlos ‘ first reaction was denial . _ _ “ This is absurd ! _ My mother is the one who hired Vitória . Why would Mom plot against her ?
His reaction was exactly what I expected . _ Being a typical mama ‘s boy , Carlos would never say anything bad about his mother . However , I wanted him to know that Joana was the one who told me this , so that he would know what kind ofof person she was . So I deliberately said , “ I did n’t believe it either . There is no reason for Joana to treat Vitória that way ,
right ?
“ Anyway , I do n’t believe Mom would force you to do this . Joana must have felt humiliated for being exposed at the time , so she was trying to find someone else to take the blame . _ ” In his heart , Carlos alreadypointed the finger at Joana . As always , family was Carlos ‘ number one priority . _ _
“ I don’t believe that either . At first , I wanted to confront Mom and Victoria about it , but Joana stopped me . She warned me not to tell anyone , but you are my husband . _ You are one of the closest people to me in this world ., so I just ca n’t hide it from you .”
“ Honey , you did the right thing . We are one as husband and wife , so there should be no secrets between us . ” With that , Carlos seemed very pleased with my words .
“ Husband , I , for one , don’t keep any secrets from you . Hope you do the same ! _ ” Meowing like a kitten , I acted all coquettish in front of him .
“ Of course ! Darling , you are the most important person to me . Why would I keep any secrets from you ? said Carlos in an attempt at flattery , but then abruptly changed the subject . “ This reminds me . Honey , about what _it was shared between us , do not tell Joana . Before that , I had a good impression of her , but after today ‘s incident , I have my doubts about her . ” I guessed he was trying to check my attitude towards Joana . _
