Chapter 49


    Tugging at my sleeves , Joan pleaded , “ Linda , please do n’t ask Mrs. _ _ _ _ _ Morals because she h


    ad told me not to tell anyone . _ _ If you rify with her , she will surely think that I cheated on


    her and she will thinkin me differently ” .  _ _


    Obviously , I would not ask my mother – in –w about this ,


    so I acted with all understanding and said , ” You ‘ re right , I did not give it much


    thought . But if I do nothing , wo n’t you feel deeply wronged by the usations ? _”


    “ I can handle it . _ It ‘s nothing ” , said the p * ta taking advantage of the situation .


    “ Joana , how kind of you ! ” After praising her , I left her room .  _ _


    As soon as I left Joana ‘s room , I saw Vitória looking around , standing at the kitchen door .


    When Victoria saw me , she immediately rushed forward and dragged me to her room . _ “ Linda , I  ha


    ve something to tell you ” .


    “ What is it ? ” Amazed by Victoria ‘s attitude , I thought : Is she just silly or does she have other motive


    s ? Doesn’t she know it ‘s not the right time to talk now ?


    “ It ‘s about my sry . ” Hearing this , I got the impression that Victoria had decided to confess to me .


    However , I was still confused . _ Considering that things were bad between Victoria and my mother-in-


    If they were other people , they would probablyplete a month of work and run


    away to work somewhere else , taking their three months sry with them .


    Clearly , Victoria did not need to


    enlighten me on the sry issue , as she would risk losing everything if she did . “ What ‘s wrong ? ” Ac


    ting confused , I asked deliberately .


    “ Initially , Mrs. _ _ Morais agreed that my monthly sry would be four thousand … ” Vitória told me th


    e whole truth about the sry issue .


    “ Are you telling me that Mom agreed her sry would


    be four thousand , but she asked me for twelve thousand ? ” Pretending to be shocked , I


    eximed , “ Why would she do that ? I have to ask her about it !  _


    “ Beautiful , wait ! I know why she did it ! _ Seeing me so agitated , Victoria reached out to take my han


    ds .  _


    “ Do you know ? How would you know ? ”


    “ Earlier , when we had our first date together , Mrs. _ Morais had mentioned that the people who need


    ed extra care in the family were Joana and Sr. Morals . She even got to tell everyone ‘s preferences an


    d likes , but she left youout ” .  _


    Hesitantly , Victoria took a quick look at my expression . Noticing the surprised look on my face , she


    continued , “ I was confused , so I asked


    about you . She told me that you are a very difficult person to deal with and


    asked me to ignore her pletely . In this house ,


    I only have to obey her orders , as well as Mr. Charles . At that moment , I imagined that you were


    having a falling out with your mother-in-


    Quite the contrary , Mrs. _ _ Morals is the problem ! _ _ ”


    “ What ‘s wrong with her ? _ _ ”


    “ Mrs. _ Morais never saw you as her daughter- in-


    what me


    For a maid who had only been working for a few days , she already knew there was no ce for me in


    that house . I was a fool for believing my own lies for five years . How depressing !


    Without wanting to reveal my sufferings in front of Vitória , I took

    a deep breath and denied : “ Stop this nonsense ! My mother inw is very kind to me ! ”


    “ Linda , you are so naive ! Some people are good at pretending to be kind ! Take my sry as an exa


    mple , Mrs. _ Morais intended to profit from it . ”


    Frankly , Victory was just stating the fact and
