Chapter 24


    Sure enough , my mother-in –


    w looked at Joana differently now , the look in her vicious eyes . However , this was not my only purp


    ose on this day . Carlos never treated me so well thest few years we were married . Alreadythat he is


    so generous with his mistress , I


    have to take him to the cleaners . After saying that , I turned to Carlos and said in a half –


    joking tone : “ Husband , you are a miserpared to Joana ‘s boyfriend . _ In the


    endafter all , you never gave me anything in all these years .


    That remark made Carlos force an incredibly awkward smile . “ Just tell me what you like and I ‘ll  buy


    it for you “ .


    “ Really ? ” I feigned a surprised expression . “ I like jades . _ Husband , just give me a jade jewelry set

    ! _ _ It is better if it is simr to my mother ‘s set .


    Carlos ‘ expression hardened slightly . _ After being with me for five years , he naturally knew how exp


    ensive my mother ‘s jade jewelry set was . _ _ _ _ ” It will probably be very difficult to


    find the same set ” .


    My mom ‘s jade jewelry set was really hard to find on the market , but I knew he was just making up an


    excuse to save face from the others here , as he definitely was n’t nning on buying it for me . _me . “


    You certainly won’t be able to buy the exact same set , but there should be simr sets ” .


    “I’ll keep an eye out , ” Carlos reluctantly promised at my insistence .


    Seeing that he had agreed , Joana ‘s expression became totally irritated . _ _ _ _ She had been my frie


    nd for a few years , so she


    naturally learned the price of my mother ‘s jade jewelry set . The expression of Pam and my mother-


    inwshe also felt resentful , as they were always the ones who asked for gifts in this family ; there


    was never a moment when I


    asked for a gift . It was obvious these bitches never expected their n to backfire when their initial inte


    ntion was to corner me . _.


    Since they felt offended , I ‘ll just let them totally out of shape . _ So I looked sheepishly at Carlos . “ I k


    new


    that you are the best , husband ! Tomorrow is Saturday , so why do n’t we go shopping ? ”


    “ Of course , ” Carlos readily agreed .


    Following his acquiescence , the harmonious atmosphere in the living room immediately disappeared .


    _ My mother-in –w was the worst person at repressing her emotions , so she angrily imed that she


    had a headache and got up to go back to her room . Then, Pam also left after rolling her eyes at Joa


    na , leaving me alone with the two naughty rats in the room . _ Probably having guessed that Joana wa


    s the instigator of the scene that day , Carlos made the excuse of having work to do andHe


    left for the office with a somber expression .


    As the show was over , I naturally did n’t want to


    be there with that bitch Joana , so I made up an excuse to see Bianca and went to her room . So , ever


    yone left the room , leaving Joana alone . When I


    closed the door, I glimpsed the expression on his face , and it


    was no longer his usual meek expression , but one tainted with a gleam of cruelty .


    During dinner , my mother-inw threw a tantrum and didn’t go down to eat , staying in


    the room on the pretext of a headache . Victoria went


    up to fetch her , but she chased her away . Upon seeing this , Carlos immediately went to her room .  _


    When he didn’te back after being away for a long time , I pretended to


    be worried and went after him . My mother – in –w ‘ s bedroom was at the end of the hall , so


    I deliberately slowed my pace and listened . Sure enough , I heard her whimpering as


    Iit said : “ You are heartless ungrateful for buying such an expensive bracelet for that bitch , but saving


    pennies on me , your mother who raised you ! Are n’t you just trying to piss me off ? ”
