Chapter 131


    “ If you had n’t asked Henriques for anything , would I have fought with him ? ”


    “ Did Henriques hit you ? _ That son of a bitch ! _ ” My mother-in-


    e can’t let him get away with it . Let’s goto his house and find him .  _ _


    She said those words as if it were so easy to


    find Henriques . Upon hearing this , Carlos ‘ forehead creased into a frown . _ “ Who do you


    think you are ? Before you can find him , you ‘ll be kicked out of your house by yoursecurity guards .


    “ Let’s call the police then . We’ll let the police deal with him . ”


    “ Forget it . Do you think we’d be here listening to all your opinions if the police could help ? ”


    “ So , you ‘re just going to let him get away with this ? ” My mother-in-


    “ We should at least make him pay for his medical and other expenses . _ _ _ _


    “ Is money all you care about ? _ _ _ Carlos shouted and that gave my mother-in –


    w a jolt . “ What kind of attitude is that ? Are you saying I ca n’t worry about you ? _ ”


    “ Mom , Carlos is in


    a bad mood . Please give him some time and let him handle it , ” I added , trying to be helpful .  _ _


    “ Deal with it ? If he knew how to handle it , he would n’t


    have been beaten up . ” When she was finished , she began directing her questions at me . “ When Car


    los was being beaten , were you there ? ”


    I shook my head .


    “ And you let that happen ? Are you still his wife ? _ Finally , my mother – in –w found


    a scapegoat to vent her anger at her when she started yelling at me . “ Didn’t you know how to


    help ? If I had been there , I would have spankeduntil the


    death ! ”


    At this point , the only thing he could do was stare at her . _ Did she think this was a fight between two


    country vir – cans ? _ _ _ Beat Henriques to death ? _ _ She ‘s not serious about it , _is it ?


    Henriques definitely got the upper hand when he beat


    up Carlos because if anything went wrong , his security would


    have . jumped and helped him finish off Carlos .


    If someone had actually left a scratch on Henriques ‘ face , his security would


    have immediately thrown that person out of the building .

    Getting no response from me , my mother – in –


    w thought she had nipped it in the bud . So she continued , ” I ‘m not trying


    to pick on you , but all you know how to do is boss Carlos around , and you ‘re practicallyuseless away


    from home . How dare you tell me what to do ? If I were you , I would be ashamed of myself .”


    “ Are you finished yet ? ” My father-in-w lost his temper after a long silence . “ Carlos will take care of


    it . Can you please take a break ? _ _ _ ”


    At this point , Joana intervened very gently . _ “ Mrs. _ Morals , maybe you can let them handle it . _ I ‘


    m sure Carlos knows what to do .


    After all , my mother – in –


    w was just talking nonsense . There was nothing else she could do . _ So , she was finally quiet .  _


    After that , Carlos turned around and went into the office while I leaned over and spoke to Joana . _ _ _


    “ Joana , I was talking to Carlos about you being discharged from the hospital , and here you are . ”


    “ I was very worried when I heard what happened , so I decided to go back home . I haven’t


    evenpleted the paperwork to be discharged yet . ”


    “ Do n’t worry about it . You can take care of it tomorrow . ”


    Seeing that I was having a private conversation with Joana , my mother – in –


    w rolled her eyes , looking rather peculiar . _ “ I feel that I am losing my ce in this house . No


    one has offered me a ss of water since I walked in “ .
