Isabel is really shallow . If Carlos doesn’t accept the card , he’s making it clear that he doesn’t want to
buy me the best jade . On the other hand , if he picks
up the card , he has no choice but to buy it from Cartier .
While Carlos hesitated , Isabel added : “ There is another good option besides Cartier . There will be a j
ade auction next week with many high – NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
level jade items up for auction . At this point , I can have the host send an invitefor both of you , and y
ou can get it at auction ” .
Carlos ‘ expression changed slightly . _ Compared to buying jade at auction where prices can easily re
ach into the millions or tens of millions , he will certainly choose to buy from Cartier . _ After
all , he can still choose the lowest priced onesat Cartier . Thus , he was forced to reach out and take th
e card before our very eyes . _ Hah , he must loathe Isabel from the bottom of his heart by
now ! However , he still had to thank her . _ _ “ Thank you ” .
Having reached her goal , Isabel made up the excuse of a family problem and left the hospital , leaving
Carlos to keep me company . Although he was smiling as he walked me into the ward , I
could feel his displeasure . Curiosity flooded me as I _I
looked at his dubious and hypocritical countenance . Why exactly is he putting himself in this situation
?
As I was thinking , the door to the ward opened and I was greeted by the sight of my in-
laws and sister – in-law coming to visit me together . The three inquired about my well –
being and even made several comments of concern , making it seem likewe
were an incredibly harmonious family in the eyes of the outsider .
Seeing their solicitous attitudes , I knew that Carlos must have instructed them to do so . _ _ Come to
think of it , he must be pretty tired since he has to keep up the act with
me and even convince his family to perform alongside him . II
was even more certain that he definitely had a motive . After all , he doesn’t need to
go to the trouble of putting on a show in
front of me , considering his current status . He can just propose a divorce
and stay with his mistress . So the _what exactly does he want from me ?
Everyone then spent the day at the hospital , each busy with their own thoughts .
The next day , Carlos answered a phone call at noon and left in a hurry . Not long after he left , that cun
t Joana came along . _ _ _ _ ‘ That previous phone
call must have been from Joana . These two rat bastards _Not the least bit wary of me , huh ? _ It
seems they always considered me an invisible specter ! As
soon as Joana entered , she had a worried and anxious expression . “ Linda , are you feeling better ?
_ ”
“ I’m much better . How is your brother ? ”
“ He is also much better . I was so panicked when I
heard from Pamela that you had immediately fallen ill . ”

This bitch is truly smooth . So she ‘s saying I ‘m even more important than her brother ? _ If that ‘s reall
y the case , would she have blatantly hooked
up with Carlos ? Utterly disgusted by his hypocritical countenance , I perfunctorily said a
few wordsto her before claiming to be sleepy and asking her to go home and rest . _ _
However , that bitch , Joana , was quite an actress and insisted on keeping me company , refusing to g
o out no matter how much I persuaded her . As I watched her ardently make a show of her deep conce

She ‘s just scared to go home alone , worried that my mother- in – law will tease her !
