Chapter 19


    The look on my mother-in-


    as he said in disbelief , ” Mom did n’t tell me anything about her sryst night …


    “ She must have forgotten , but she told me it would cost twelve grand . Is n’t


    she , mother ? ” I was aiming at my mother – inw , because I knew she wanted to


    profit from it , that ‘s why I told everyone the value of Vitória ‘s sry ,all the while trying


    to get my mother-inw to admit it .


    what


    If she admitted this , she could not gain anything from it , but if she denied it , it would


    be equivalent to her admitting that she wanted to


    take my money . I would definitely like to see her make the choice . _ As expected , she was visiblyboth


    ered by this , but eventually , she still decided to admit that Victoria ‘s sry would  be twelve thousand


    after some internal conflicts .


    Shock and disbelief flitted across Victoria ‘s face as soon as my mother – in –


    w admitted it . Victoria looked like she


    had something to say , but I didn’t give her the chance to speak as I


    had before her . “ Mom told me that Vitória is _ _an extremely capable person , so she will not only wor


    k as a maid , but will also take care of Joana during her pregnancy , so it


    must cost around fifteen thousand at the most . So , dare I say it ‘ s worth


    it for da baby ‘ s sake .Joan . Don’t you think , dear ?


    Now that things had


    reached this point , Carlos could n’t say anything more than agree with a bitter smile , while my mother


    -inw looked terribly pale as she had n’t expected to


    encounter such a turn of events . If she knew that her son _I would


    pay Vitória ‘s sry in my ce , I would probably have a hemorrhage stroke .

    After everything was resolved , I left the house with Bianca by my side , while Vitória said goodbye . _


    She had a ttering smile as we waited


    for the elevator . “ You can tell me what you want for dinner , so I can prepare it for you .–los“.


    I shed a knowing smile as I replied , ” I prefer something spicy ” .


    “ How about some spicy fish or chicken ? ”


    I gave her a wave before stepping into the elevator with Bianca .  _


    Victoria was a smart woman . As the sole victor during the early morning incident , she knew Carlos ‘ m


    other would be mad at her , which meant she would have a hard time pleasing the olddy , so I was h


    er . _ _only hope of staying in the family to earn his stipted sry .


    Dinner was ready when I got home . As soon as she saw the two tes I indicated , my mother-in-


    “ Is n’t Pam the one who likes that ? I


    told her to prepare them for Pam ” , I said , without giving Vitória a chance to speak . Since her sr


    y depended on me , she would never expose me .


    However , my mother – in –


    regnant woman like Joana , so you should refrain from preparing spicy dishes in the  future “ . _


    After listening to what she said , I eximed looking at Pam : “ Mom certainly treats Joana so well ,


    even better than you , Pam ! _ _ ” I  made a deliberate attempt to involve Pam in


    the conflict , which managed to irritate her .
