Chapter 3
Isabel was very efficient . That night she called me and said the private detective had found something
. _
I took Bianca straight home without delay .
After Isabel ‘s nanny took Bianca out to play , I followed her into the office . _
Isabel opened the drawer and pulled out a stack of information for me .
I thought I was mentally prepared , but I still trembled when I received the proofs .
It turned out that Carlos and Joana had been in a relationship for four years .
Over the past four years , they had shamelessly booked countless rooms at the hotel .
In fact , I never noticed any of that .
I squeezed my chest and only recovered after a long time . I asked Elizabeth :
“ Did you find anything other than the hotel records ? Does Joana really have a boyfriend ? Or
is the child she has in her belly Carlos ‘ ? ”
Isabel shook her head , “ That ‘s all for now . We have to wait for the rest ” .
As she spoke , she looked at me and sighed again : “ Now I suspect that when Joana –
introduced Carlos to you , she and Carlos had ulterior motives ” .
“ What do I have to deserve their attention … ” _
I stopped mid – sentence . _
I had something . _
My father is the head of one of
the main reference companies in the city . When I was dating Carlos , he disagreed with our relationshi
p .
Later , in order to marry Carlos , I cut all ties with my parents . _
But when I saw Carlos selling cars to start a business , my heart sank . _ Not only was I tough enough t
o secretly borrow five million from my mom as a venture capital fund for him , I even reached
out to his friends .from my father to help him in his business . _
It could be said that Carlos was only able to expand the company smoothly because of my father ‘s co
nnections .
When I thought about that , my breathing quickened again .
Could it be that Carlos ‘s affection for me for the last five years was nothing more than a sham ?
He didn’t love me and just wanted to use me ?
My heart ached . Isabel couldn’t bear to
see this , but she still said : ” The most important thing now is to find
out what your and Carlos ‘ marriage assets are … “
“ So what if you find out about all this ? My family will be lost . ”
“ Are you silly ? ” Isabel looked at me and said angrily : “ You were very spoiled by your parents . _ If yo
u really lose your money , how will you live ? ”
But at that moment , I could n’t hear her at all . _ I was immersed in sadness and could not break free .
Isabel was probably worried and suddenly changed her mind to persuade me . _ _
“ Carlos and Joana plotted against you for money . This means that both of
you care a lot about money . If they don’t have money ,
they will surely suffer more than if their lives were taken away . Since they treat you like that , youdon’t
want them to have the taste of losing everything ? ”
I want !
I came out of my torpor and
I looked at Isabel .
Isabel saw that I was excited and continued :
“ Besides , if
you do n’t fight for it , Carlos and Joana will take your money and go out and squander it . ”
How dare they ! _
In an instant , an unprecedented strong desire for revenge welled up in my heart .
“ Don’t take my words to heart ,” Isabel tried to calm me down . “
Go back and find a way to investigate Carlos ‘ possessions . And of course , you ca n’t let Joan get
away easily either . ”
“ Now that I think about it , with Joana ‘s family background and salary , she probably could n’t afford th
ese designer clothes and jewelry . _ But not only did she buy
these things , she also bought a house and a car . ”
Hearing that , my heart started beating again . _ _
I understood what Isabel said . _ Carlos took our property as a couple and stayed with Joana as his lov NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

I sat paralyzed on the couch and did n’t speak for a long time . Suddenly my phone rang . _ _
As soon as the call connected , I heard Pamela screaming in a panic : “ Sister-in-
law , come quickly ! Q – Dad had a heart attack and fainted ! ”
I was shocked and quickly said , “ Did you call the ambulance ? ”
“ S – Yes . I can’t get in touch with my brother . Sister – in –
law , can you come ? Pamela asked in a panic .
“ Okay ! Do n’t panic , I ‘m coming . _ _ ”
I hung up the phone , grabbed my purse and was about to run out .
“ What ‘s up ? Isabel saw my anguished look and was worried . _
“ My father-in-law had a heart attack . I’m going to see the situation .”
Isabel was initially shocked , but then said angrily : “ Carlos has already treated you this way . Why are
you still interfering in his family situations ? _ _ ”
My nose suddenly turned sour . _ Thinking about those hotel records made me so uncomfortable that I
almost could n’t breathe . _
“ … Saving lives is of the utmost importance . Please help me take care of Bianca . _ _ _ ”
After that , I left quickly , which made Isabel stomp her feet angrily . _
