“ Calm down , mother . ”
The old bitch thought her plan 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 collar 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 welcomed 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 of laughter came from the living
room . I went to look around and saw Mr. Morais talking to Vitória . _ For some reason , Victoria manag Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
ed to make him laugh . that isweird . Mr. _ Morais is a man of few words . How
did Victoria manage to make him laugh ?
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 minutes later , 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 ? _ ”
“ 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 ” .
