Chapter 3


    Isabel was very efficient . That night she called me and said the private detective had found something


    .  _


    I  took Bianca straight home without dy .


    After Isabel ‘s nanny took Bianca out to y , I followed her into the office .  _


    Isabel opened the drawer and pulled out a stack of information for me .


    I thought I was mentally prepared , but I still trembled when I received the proofs .


    It turned out that Carlos and Joana had been in a rtionship for four years .


    Over the past four years , they had shamelessly booked countless rooms at the hotel .


    In fact , I never noticed any of that .


    I squeezed my chest and only recovered after a long time . I asked Elizabeth :


    “ Did you find anything other than the hotel records ? Does Joana really have a boyfriend ? Or


    is the child she has in her belly Carlos ‘ ? ”


    Isabel shook her head , “ That ‘s all for now . We have to wait for the rest ” .


    As she spoke , she looked at me and sighed again : “ Now I suspect that when Joana –

    introduced Carlos to you , she and Carlos had ulterior motives ” .


    “ What do I have to deserve their attention … ”  _


    I stopped mid – sentence .  _


    I had something .  _


    My father is the head of one of


    the main referencepanies in the city . When I was dating Carlos , he disagreed with our rtionshi


    p .


    Later , in order  to marry Carlos , I cut all ties with my parents . _


    But when I saw Carlos selling cars to start a business , my heart sank . _ Not only was I tough enough t


    o secretly borrow five million from my mom as a venture capital fund for him , I even reached


    out to his friends .from my father to help him in his business .  _


    It could be said that Carlos was only able to  expand thepany smoothly because of my father ‘s co


    nnections .


    When I thought about that , my breathing quickened again .


    Could it be that Carlos ‘s affection for me for thest five years was nothing more than a sham ?


    He didn’t love me and just wanted to use me ?


    My heart ached . Isabel couldn’t bear to


    see this , but she still said : ” The most important thing now is to  find


    out what your and Carlos ‘ marriage assets are … “


    “ So what if you find out about all this ? My family will be lost . ”


    “ Are you silly ? ” Isabel looked at me and said angrily : “ You were very spoiled by your parents . _ If yo


    u really lose your money , how will you live ? ”


    But at that moment , I could n’t hear her at all . _ I was immersed in sadness and could not break free .


    Isabel was probably worried and suddenly changed her mind to persuade me .  _ _


    “ Carlos and Joana plotted against you for money . This means that both of


    you care a lot about money . If they don’t have money ,


    they will surely suffer more than if their lives were taken away . Since they treat you like that , youdon’t


    want them to have the taste of losing everything ? ”


    I want !


    I came out of my torpor and


    I looked at Isabel .


    Isabel saw that I was excited and continued :


    “ Besides , if


    you do n’t fight for it , Carlos and Joana will take your money and go out and squander it . ”


    How dare they !  _


    In an instant , an unprecedented strong desire for revenge welled up  in my heart .


    “ Don’t take my words to heart ,” Isabel tried to calm me down . “


    Go back and find a way to investigate Carlos ‘ possessions . And of course , you ca n’t let Joan get


    away easily either . ”


    “ Now that I think about it , with Joana ‘s family background and sry , she probably could n’t afford th


    ese designer clothes and jewelry . _ But not only did she buy


    these things , she also bought a house and a car . ”


    Hearing that , my heart started beating again .  _ _


    I understood what Isabel said . _ Carlos took our property as a couple and stayed with Joana as his lov


    er .  _


    I sat paralyzed on the couch and did n’t speak for a long time . Suddenly my phone rang .  _ _


    As soon as the call connected , I heard Pam screaming in a panic : “ Sister-in-


    I was shocked and quickly said , “ Did you call the ambnce ? ”


    “ S – Yes . I can’t get in touch with my brother . Sister – in –


    “ Okay ! Do n’t panic , I ‘ming . _ _ ”


    I hung up the phone , grabbed my purse and was about to run out .


    “ What ‘s up ? Isabel saw my anguished look and was worried .  _


    “ My father-inw had a heart attack . I’m going to see the situation .”


    Isabel was initially shocked , but then said angrily : “ Carlos has already treated you this way . Why are


    you still interfering in his family situations ? _ _ ”


    My nose suddenly turned sour . _ Thinking about those hotel records made me so ufortable that I


    almost could n’t breathe .  _


    “ … Saving lives is of the utmost importance . Please help me take care of Bianca . _ _ _ ”


    After that , I  left quickly , which made Isabel stomp her feet angrily . _
