Chapter 73


    “ Calm down , mother . ”


    The old bitch thought her n worked now that I was here talking to her . _ “ Linda , I know you ‘re kind


    , but you should n’t be so naive . _ She ‘s just a friend , so you don’t have to help her .so much ”.


    “ Mom , Joana came to ask me


    for help because she needs it . I ‘m her best friend . _ If I do n’t help her , who would ? I thought you sa


    w her as your daughter . What kind of parent wouldn’t help their own child ? ”


    “ I don’t want to


    say it , but fifteen thousand a day is not a small amount . She needs the money after the child is born .


    —Mrs . _ _ _ Morais pretended to care about us .


    “ Do n’t worry about money . Carlos and I are here . Furthermore , Joana is a grateful person . _ She w


    o n’t forget our help , I persuaded her . “ Plus she has a white cor job so she has money _ _ _ _. Thin


    k about it , since her boyfriend can give her jewelry worth millions , he must have given her a lot of mon


    ey . _ You don’t want to upset her , do you ? What if she gets rich in


    the future ? We might need her help then, so give her a break . ”


    Mrs. ‘s eyes . _ Morales glowed at the mention of the jewels . “ Oh , I seem to have forgotten a


    few things . Maybe I was too hasty . _ I should apologize right away , yes . I hope she does n’t take it s


    eriously ” .


    I chuckled as I watched as Mrs. _ _ Morais looked greedy . A disaster for Joana arriving . From what I k


    new of Mrs. _ Morais , she would try to


    get her hands on all of Joana ‘s jewelry , including the bracelet on which Carlos spent aton . While she


    was worrying about it , I would be sending another bombshell her way .


    When Mrs. _ _ Morais went to the infirmary , I told her I was going to the doctor to ask about Joana ‘s c


    ondition . Yes . of course I lied . I was going to


    meet Sara , and she weed me warmly . Isabel must have spoken toher for Sara to


    be so excited . When I was talking about the fake pregnancy with Isabel , I asked her to talk to Sara ab


    out it so she could be a part of it too .


    Instead of talking about Joana , I went straight to the point and asked her to inject me with some HCG ,


    which she agreed to . _ _ After that , leave the hospital with Bianca .  _


    Carlos still was n’t home when we arrived , but when I walked


    in , the sound ofughter came from the living


    room . I went to look around and saw Mr. Morais talking to Vitória . _ For some reason , Victoria manag


    ed to make himugh . that isweird . Mr. _ Morais is a man of few words . How


    did Victoria manage to make himugh ?


    When she saw us in the living


    room , Vitória went to make dinner . Greet Mr. _ Morais before going back to my room . _ Although Isab


    el had said that the HCG would


    cause a false pregnancy , I had my doubts . I got the test kit frompregnancy and went to


    the bathroom to take the test . Five minutester , the kit showed two lines , much


    to my surprise . Isabel was right .


    After dinner Carlos led me furtively to the bedroom . _ _ _ “ We need to talk , honey , ” he  said .


    mysteriously .


    “ What is it ? ”


    He opened his folder . “ Guess what I bought on the way back ? _ ” N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    “ What did you get ? ” I did n’t care what he bought , but I pretended to be interested .


    “ This . ” He brandished a pregnancy test kit . _ _ “ Let ‘s do a test ourselves before the actual check –


    up ” .
