Chapter 103


    “ Bianca and I also yed hide and seek yesterday . _ At


    that time , she also hid in Joana ‘ s closet , and I was worried that she might have gone through her thi


    ngs , so I even checked right away , but I did not notice thatproblem .”


    Hearing this , Carlos was absolutely certain that this was all his own mother ‘s doing , and a hint of fury


    crossed his face . _ _ Even so , I feigned ignorance andmented : ” Husband , there


    is no one else in the house outside ,so I think the possibility of Vitória having done that is


    monumental . Why do n’t we file a police report ? ”


    “ Don’t file a police report first . ” Carlos vetoed my idea .


    “ But what other resource do we have ? The jewels belonged to Joana and


    disappeared in our house , so we have to give her an exnation . ”


    “ I know . Do n’t panic first and leave that to me . _ Wait a moment here . I need to


    make a call . After saying that , Carlos left Joana ‘s room . _ Since I knew who he would call ,


    I naturally didn’t follow him ., but I stayed in the room and waited .


    A few minutester , Carlos entered . “ Linda , I’ve already cleared up the issue of


    the missing jewelry . It was Mom who took the jewels ” .


    “ Mom got it ? Why would she take Joana ‘s jewelry ? _ ”


    “ Joana wanted to wear the jewels , so she asked her mother to take them to her . Mom , however , lost


    the key , so she picked the lock . _ ” It seems that both Carlos and his mother want to me Joana . S


    heYou must be totally hurt right now , but that ‘s not my main objective .


    Assim, fingi uma express?o de alívio,o se um grande peso tivesse sido tirado de meus ombros. E


    nt?o, foi isso que aconteceu. Fiquei realmente chocada, pensando que a Vitória havia feito uma coisa


    dessas.”

    “ If it had been a stranger doing it , he or she would have taken it all instead of leaving a little


    bit behind , ” said Carlos  .


    “ That ‘s true . After all , Joana ‘s most expensive bracelet was not stolen –


    I repeated . Afterwards , I reached out and took the bracelet . Seeing me do it , Carlos ‘ expression bec


    ame a little anxious . _ _ _ _ _ I mocked forinside , but externally I eximed in surprise before blurting


    out , “ Husband , why does this Cartier bracelet look inferior ? _ _ ”


    1:44


    “ Inferior in quality ? That ‘s impossible ! ” Carlos countered somewhat clumsily .  _


    “ I’m not a jade expert , but I ‘m not exactly an amateur either . ” I then pretended to carefully inspect th


    e bracelet . “ This jade is verymon in the market . What ‘s going on here ? ” With that , I


    stopped for amomento. “A Isabel n?o disse que a jade da Cartier é única nesta cidade? Será que… Ma


    rido, você acha que a Cartier está vendendo imita??es para enganar os consumidores ignorantes? Se


    esse for realmente o caso, ent?o eles s?o realmente desprezíveis.”


    “Isso n?o parece usível.”


    “N?o é totalmente impossível. Houve até notícias afirmando que o custo das ms LV é realmente bar


    ato, n?o? Bem, para evitar ser enganado, é melhor levar o jade que vocêprou para mim a um esp


    ecialista para avalia??o,


    When my words reached his ears , I noticed Carlos ‘ pupils shrinking . “ Honey , is this necessary ? Afte


    r all , Cartier is the leader in the jewelry industry , so they are not going to ruin their reputation by


    doing this ” .


    “ Better to be safe than sorry . I would feel better if I


    were evaluated , ” I insisted . “ Husband , why do n’t youe with me tomorrow ? ”
