Chapter 19
The look on my mother-in-
law ‘s face was an absolutely brilliant sight to behold , while Carlos was obviously stunned by that sum
as he said in disbelief , ” Mom did n’t tell me anything about her salary last night …
“ She must have forgotten , but she told me it would cost twelve grand . Is n’t
she , mother ? ” I was aiming at my mother – in-law , because I knew she wanted to
profit from it , that ‘s why I told everyone the value of Vitória ‘s salary ,all the while trying
to get my mother-in-law to admit it .

If she admitted this , she could not gain anything from it , but if she denied it , it would
be equivalent to her admitting that she wanted to
take my money . I would definitely like to see her make the choice . _ As expected , she was visiblyboth
ered by this , but eventually , she still decided to admit that Victoria ‘s salary would be twelve thousand
after some internal conflicts .
Shock and disbelief flitted across Victoria ‘s face as soon as my mother – in –
law admitted it . Victoria looked like she
had something to say , but I didn’t give her the chance to speak as I
had before her . “ Mom told me that Vitória is _ _an extremely capable person , so she will not only wor
k as a maid , but will also take care of Joana during her pregnancy , so it
must cost around fifteen thousand at the most . So , dare I say it ‘ s worth
it for da baby ‘ s sake .Joan . Don’t you think , dear ?
Now that things had

I flashed a knowing smile as I replied , ” I prefer something spicy ” .
“ How about some spicy fish or chicken ? ”

Victoria was a smart woman . As the sole victor during the early morning incident , she knew Carlos ‘ m
other would be mad at her , which meant she would have a hard time pleasing the old lady , so I was h

Dinner was ready when I got home . As soon as she saw the two plates I indicated , my mother-in-
law ‘s expression soured . “ Who told you to prepare these spicy dishes ? ”
“ Is n’t Pamela the one who likes that ? I
told her to prepare them for Pâmela ” , I said , without giving Vitória a chance to speak . Since her salar
y depended on me , she would never expose me .
However , my mother – in –
law was still in a bad mood as she rambled on , despite what I told her . “ Spicy food is not good for a p
regnant woman like Joana , so you should refrain from preparing spicy dishes in the future “ . _
After listening to what she said , I exclaimed looking at Pamela : “ Mom certainly treats Joana so well ,
even better than you , Pamela ! _ _ ” I made a deliberate attempt to involve Pamela in
the conflict , which managed to irritate her .
