Chapter 26


    “ Oh , it ‘s for Momter . _ ”


    Upon hearing this , Carlos looked at me with pure appreciation . “ You are always so thoughtful “.


    Joana ‘s expression became displeased when she saw him praising me . _ _ _ However , she could n’t


    do anything , as she definitely would n’t be able to gain any favors from my mother-


    in-w if she were to provoke her at this point . she mustbeing very familiar with my mother- in –


    w ‘s temperament , so she is not as enthusiastic to follow as usual and ask for her well –


    being to avoid trouble herself . Meanwhile , I was not ingratiating myself on merit . _ instead _Besides


    that , I already found a way to teach you a lesson .


    After dinner , my sister-inw helped my father- in –w walk . Joana , on the


    other hand , deliberately stayed in the kitchen to do the cleaning with Vitória , but it


    was just a pretext , as she just stayed by the side talking while secretly keeping her eyes on him


    .fixed on Carlos . Inwardly , I scoffed , That bitch must have a


    lot to say to Carlos , huh ? Well I ‘m just not giving her the chance !  _


    I didn’t take Bianca for an after – meal walk as usual , but I did


    carry the dishes I took earlier to my mother-in –


    w ‘s room . Since she had the covers over her head as she sulked in bed , I repressed my loathing .


    _and walked over to her bed before coaxing softly , ” Mother , I brought you some food , so get up and


    eat some . ”  _ _ _


    She had her


    back to me and did n’t say anything . It was clear as day that her fury today is because of me and Joan


    a . _ _ She just wants me to use the money to calm


    her down like ‘ before , under the guise of sefeel bad _ Looking at her back , my lips curved upward . _


    _ She ‘s still thinking I was the same idiot as before , so this time


    I ‘m going to let her know the consequences of putting on such a despicable show !


    While my eyes were filled with disdain , my voice remained soft and gentle . “ Victoria cooked many dis


    hes today . _ There ‘s spicy shrimp , spicy poached pork wedges , and braised beef with pickled mustar


    d . Everything was fine and everyone _praised them . I got some for you , so why do n’t you give it a


    try ? ” My mother-inw has always been averse to spicy food , so I was just teasing her by


    saying all that .


    Sure enough , right after I finished talking , she got even angrier as I could see her shaking with rage th


    rough the covers . _ _ _ _ _ However , this is not enough . _ So I continued adding fuel to


    the fire . “ Mother ,you will only have energy after eating . _ After


    all , tomorrow is Saturday and we are all going shopping . Carlos said he ‘s


    going to buy me jewelry , so just let him know if anything catches your eye and ask him to buy it


    too . ” AfterAfter saying that , I purposely reached out to pull back the covers from her . “ Mom ,


    did you hear me ? ”


    My mother-in-


    law was no doubt furious to hear me say that Carlos was buying me jewelry the next day , so she irrita


    bly held out her hand to express her outrage when I lifted the covers . With that , I


    screamed and dropped the te in my hand


    .slide to the floor . The cymbal shattering on the floor produced a sharp crash , so , along with the loud


    exmation I intentionally let out earlier , everything sounded like the earth shattered .  _


    If she had the slightest concern for me , she would


    have gotten up to check what had happened when she heard my amplified exmation , but

    that ‘s not what she did . Instead , she instantly pulled the covers over her head without a hint . _of con

    Vitória was the first to enter the racket . Upon seeing the broken ss on the floor , she immediately ex
