Chapter 44


    “ This morning I heard that Mrs. _ _ _ Ramos is going to buy gifts for them , so they left right after break


    fast , ” reported Vitória .


    That bitch Joana wanted to buy gifts as a way to please Carlos ‘ family .  _


    However , knowing the Morals , they certainly were not the type to be easily satisfied . Inside , she was


    smiling . _ Let ‘s wait and see how patiently she deals with the Morals .


    As


    she watched my every expression , Victoria noticed that I had not reacted differently . “ Mrs. _ _ Ramos


    seems very nice to Ms. _ _ Morais and with Pam . _ If I didn’t know better , I would

    “ Linda , you are such a kind person , but Joana , she doesn’t have the same kindness . You really hav


    e to be careful with her . ”


    “ Really ? Joana is also kind . How can she be a bad person ? I asked , deliberately making a shocked
