Chapter 132


    The moment he finished , Vitoria ran out of the kitchen with two sses of water in


    her hands : one for my mother-inw and the other for Joana .


    Without taking her ss of water , my mother-in –


    w asked with nted eyes : “ Is lunch ready ? Carlos is a patient . now . You know how to take


    care of people who are hurt , don’t you ? ”


    “ I know . The meals I make are very nutritious . ”


    “ That’s not what I’m talking about . Don’t you see the bruises on his face ? You should n’t add ingredie


    nts like soy sauce to your food .  _


    “ I see ,” Victoria replied politely .


    After lunch , my in –


    ws left the house after she whispered something to him , while I decided to go back to my room to ta


    ke a nap while Joana also went back to her room . As Carlos was injured , he was notto the office and


    was only able to manage his work over the phone in our office .


    While in bed ,


    I could n’t fall asleep . So I took out  my phone and started checking my emails , specting that Joana


    would definitely find ways to express her concern for Carlos . _


    As I expected , after checking my emails , I found Joana asking everyone about the Carlos incident on


    Facebook . _ _ _ _ The way she expressed her concern moved even me .  _ _


    However , Carlos ‘ response was as cold as ever . _ _ Joana was always the


    one who asked many questions while he only answered with a simple word or phrase .


    Reading those meaninglessments , I  was about to exit the app only to get another notification fro


    m Joana . _


    “ Was it because of her that Henriques hit you today ? ”


    The “ her ” in Joana and Carlos ‘ exchanges referred to me , but it intrigued me because Henriques an


    d I had never met before . _ _ _ _ _ So they should n’t be talking about me .  _


    At that point , Carlos responded with a simple “ Yes ” .


    “ Really ? _ Does that mean that Henriques knew everything at  that time ?


    I was scared . Everything at that time ?


    “ Yes , ” replied Carlos .


    “ What are you going to do next ? ”


    “ We’ll see . ”


    “ Please be careful . _ _ If she discovers the truth , we will all be in trouble .”


    Carlos stopped responding after that , Joana too . _ Then she exits the app while thinking deeply .  _


    From this simple conversation , it was deduced that Carlos and Henriques had a


    grudge against each other , and that grudge seemed to involve a woman .


    At first I suspected that person might be me , but now I was sure it was n’t me . _ But who can it be ?


    While I was


    thinking about it , Isabel sent me a WhatsApp message . “ Linda , the private investigator found someth


    ing from Joana and Carlos ‘ past . I just forwarded the information to you . Please find time to have a lo


    ok . _ _ ”


    “ Of course , Isabel . Did you know that Carlos was beaten by Henriques today ? _ ” So I


    told the whole incident to Isabel .


    Isabel was gratified by Carlos ‘ misfortunes . _ “ Good job . I’m going to give Henrique 12 likes ” .

    “ That is not the point . I just found out that both of


    them have a grudge against each other from the past . ”


    “ You ‘re not serious , are you ? They are so different . How could they have anything inmon ? ”
