Chapter 116
In an instant , I immediately understood what was going on . Carlos was obviously buying that jade set
at this point because he had an ulterior motive , so obviously the problem was n’t with Cartier products
. _ _ _ _ instead _ _, the problem was with Carlos .
The jade jewelry he gave Joana and me was fake . _ _ _ _ The so-
called manager Carvalho was also in cahoots with him .
When I realized this , my face immediately flushed . I got up instantly with the strong feeling of shame ,
so I turned and left
However ,
I did not expect Henriques to be so insensitive , as he really stopped me . “ You seem very agitated , Mr
s. _ Morals . ”
“ What do you want , Mr. Ribeiro ? ” I asked bluntly . _
“ Don’t you think it ‘s bad manners to just get
up and leave the person who was talking to you without saying goodbye ? ”
Seriously , who does he think he is to talk to me about manners right now ? I
looked at him coldly . “ Good manners ? What is it ? _ ”
“ An excellent question ! Henriques gave me an empty smile . _ _ “ I understand that you also come fro
m a good family , Mrs. _ _ Morals . As someone highly educated , her parents and teachers did not tea
ch her good manners . _?”
“ Well , my parents and my teachers taught me not to eavesdrop on other people ‘s conversations , ” I
replied .
“ Snooping ? This whole place is your private property , Mrs. _ Morals ? ” The smile on Henriques ‘ face
disappeared and his eyes began to grow cold .
I was silent , unable to refute his question . Thus , Henriques mocked . “ You had a conversation that co
uld affect someone else in a public place without worry , and yet you
dared to slander me , saying that I was eavesdropping ? your abilityof twisting things to suit you is truly
impressive , Mrs. _ _ Morals ” .
Henriques left no room for me to speak , giving the impression that we had a
grudge between us . Furious with him , I
snapped , “ Even if I ‘m wrong for making a public call , that doesn’t mean you ‘re much better than he i
s .me , mr. Ribeiro . Do you think it ‘s polite for a man like you to strike
up a random conversation with a lady in public ? I Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
do n’t think that ‘s what I would consider good manners ” .
“ Me ? Starting a random conversation with a lady ? You seem to be very confident in your appearance
, Mrs. _ Morals . But you are mistaken . I’m not talking to you because you ‘re a woman , but because y
ou slander Cartier inyour phone call . And that ‘s it . ”
“ Slandering Cartier ? Do you really think so , Mr. Ribeiro . I was n’t slandering Cartier , but even if I
was , so what ? You can sue me if you think you can ” I glared at him .
“ You … You are such an unreasonable woman ! ” Henriques obviously did n’t expect me to be so unre
asonable .
“ So even someone as polite as yourself knows what one would consider unreasonable , Mr. _ Ribeiro
? Just a reminder for you , Mr. _ Ribeiro , but it’s impolite to simply accuse someone of things they did
n’t do . After playing these _words to him , but I pushed him aside and left . _
“ Compared to those things you did , Mrs. _ _ Morals , my words should n’t be a
big deal , right ? ” The words that Henriques pronounced with clenched teeth came from behind . _ I
didn’t have time to argue with him , so I sped up .
I
When I got back to the ward , I
was still feeling a little upset . What ‘s up with my luck to bump into him ? _
When I
thought of Jessica ‘s words about him being the cool , handsome man of many women ‘s dreams , I
could n’t help but smile . A man of women ‘s dreams ? In dreams ! He ‘s just someone touched in
the head !
I got up and poured myself a glass of water . _ After drinking it , I didn’t feel so angry anymore . When I
thought about it , even though I had been ridiculed by him before , I didn’t come away empty –
handed .
At the very least , I now knew Carlos wore fake jewelry to trick me , and since I wanted
to inspect the jewelry , he had to go to Cartier to buy real jewelry .
looked like
that my luck was n’t so bad . At least Carlos and Joana were much worse than me _ _ _
Before going to bed , I checked the mailbox again , but I did n’t see Joana looking for Carlos . _ Strang
e . Does n’t she care about the gossip she ‘s heard ?
