Every Breath You Take

Chapter 73

When Monica woke up, it's already dawned. She had a terrible headache and couldn't open her eyes.

The sunlight made her eyes even more uncomfortable.

She closed her eyes slightly. At the moment, she was still a little unconscious. She could smell a faint

smell of Cologne. Why was this smell so familiar?

She searched in her memory, but could not remember where she had smelled it. Her head still hurt.

She raised her hand to rub her forehead, but unconsciously she touched something hard.

Her body tensed because of the temperature of it, and the memory of last night flashed in her mind.

She screamed and suddenly opened her eyes.

An enlarged handsome face appeared in front of her. She saw definite features, a prominent nose, and

a pair of passionate eyes that could engulf her. After seeing it more clearly, Monica screamed again.

"Argh!"

"What are you shouting for?" A familiar voice rang out. There was a hint of teasing in Quarmy's eyes.

"You... Why are you here? Quarmy? What are you doing here?" Monica was so surprised that she

couldn't speak clearly.

"Why am I here? This is my home. Do you understand?" Quarmy rested one hand on the back of her

head and the other on her waist. She could even feel his hot breath on her face.

"Your home?" Monica stared at him in disbelief. Quarmy's eyes were full of smiles. He stared

unblinkingly at her exposed snow- white skin. "Monica, after so many years, you're still the same as

you were before!"

Monica's face suddenly turned red. She used to like to sleep in his arms, now she was attached to him

as tightly as before.

She could feel the warmth coming from his body without any hindrance. They were both naked!

Monica was both shy and angry, wanting to slap him. Quarmy quickly grabbed her hand. She couldn't

free herself, so she cursed, "Quarmy, what have you done to me? You son of a b*tch! How can you be

so shameless?"

Quarmy frowned slightly and held her hand tightly. "A single man and a single woman in the same

room... no, the same bed. What do you think I can do?"

Monica's heart sank. Crap! "Quarmy, you're an animal! How can you do this to me?"

Thinking that she had slept with this disgusting man, Monica felt ashamed. She reached out to push

him, cursing and struggling.

However, how could she get rid of Quarmy's imprisonment? He hugged her tighter and tighter. She

could feel the change in his body. His thing was stuck tightly to her leg.

The embarrassment and anger made her tears roll down unnaturally. Quarmy looked at the tears at the

corners of her eyes and involuntarily let go of his hand. The person he had been thinking about all the

time was in his arms. However, he could not do anything to her. One could imagine how much pain

Quarmy was in his heart.

It was not that he didn't want her, but he was afraid that she would hate him more. He tried his best to

suppress his desire and held her tightly for a night.

His release allowed Monica to take the opportunity to slap him viciously in the face. "Pa!" The slap was

crisp. There were immediately five clear fingerprints on Quarmy's face. He stared at her in shock. "You

hit me? You actually hit me?"

"So what?" Monica glared at him. "You hooligan! I must call the police to arrest you!"

"Are you out of your mind?" Anger surfaced on Quarmy's handsome face.

How could this woman be so ungrateful? If he had not saved her last night, the consequences would

have been unimaginable.

"Aren't you out of your mind?!" Monica mercilessly pushed him out of bed. Only then did she discover

that he was completely naked. Moreover, he was having an erection.

"You hooligan! Get out!" Monica's face turned red with embarrassment.

Quarmy got up from the ground and looked at her without any cover. "You seem to be mistaken. This is

my home. If anyone's going anywhere, it's you."

Monica glared at Quarmy. "Quarmy Huo, why am I here? Did you trick me and get me here?" Quarmy's

beautiful eyes revealed a hint of anger. "I got you here? Monica, are you really insane? I don't believe

you don't remember what happened last night at all!"

Monica suddenly shut up. She could still see the ugly faces of those men last night, but she couldn't

connect them with Quarmy.

"Do you remember anything?" Quarmy raised his brows slightly. There was no emotion in his pitch-

black eyes. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"I..." A look of fear appeared in Monica's eyes as she quickly recalled what had happened last night.

She remembered that she had run out of that room and been knocked unconscious in an alley. How did

she appear beside Quarmy?

"Let me tell you. Your so- called boyfriend is a middleman in the AV business. You were betrayed by

him and I saved you!"

"How did you know that?"

"How did I know that?" Quarmy's face darkened. On the blind date that day, when he saw Evan and

Monica playing games, he felt that something wasn't right. A normal person's reaction at that time

must've been to take care of himself first, unless he loved Monica to the extreme.

Evan and Monica never met before, and he also didn't believe in love at first sight. If so, why did he

have such a great affection for Monica?

The only possibility was that he was acting, and the so-called fall was just to win Monica's sympathy so

that she could choose him.

So he asked Noah to investigate Evan, who hid himself well. His real name was Bill and Evan was just

a fake name. It had taken a lot of time to find out his real identity. When Noah delivered Evan's real

information to Quarmy, Quarmy immediately drove to find Monica. However, she had disappeared with

Evan.

Quarmy located Evan's cell phone and immediately found his location. Evan actually took Monica out

of the city. Quarmy informed the police and followed them all the way. They found Evan's car in an old

residential area. The police searched one area after another. Hearing Monica's call for help, they

rushed over.

Finally, they rescued Monica and caught four people on the spot. However, the principal criminal, Evan,

disappeared. The police were arresting him in the whole city. Quarmy took Monica back to his

residence.

"Why did he do this to me?" Monica didn't understand. Did he go to the blind date for making her do

porn? Why did she feel that things were not so simple?

Quarmy sneered. "Destruction pursues the great. Don't you know that you're already very famous?"

Monica glared at him angrily. She had actually forgotten that she didn't wear anything at all. She lifted

the blanket and was about to climb up. When she saw Quarmy's surprised gaze, she pulled the blanket

over and wrapped it around her body.

Quarmy's gloomy expression had turned into a smile because of her actions. "Seriously? Which part of

your body I haven't seen before?" Monica's face turned red. "Rogue!"

He put on a serious look. "Your clothes were wet, so I took it off for you. I don't have a woman's clothes

here, so wait for a moment. I've already asked someone to send some clothes here." After saying this,

he put on his pajamas and left the room.

Watching him leave, Monica dejectedly leaned on the bed. Her head was in a lot of pain, and her mind

was in a mess. "Why is it that he witnessed every one of my most embarrassing moments?"

She had forced herself to be strong in front of him just now. In reality, she was really scared. If

something had really happened last night, what was she going to do?

If she died, what would happen to Coco?

After some time, she heard the doorbell ringing. Not long after, Quarmy appeared at the door with a

bag in hand. He threw the bag on the bed and said, "Your clothes!"

After that, he turned around. Monica looked at the clothes on the bed. The eye-catching logo startled

her.

In the past, she had stuck to this brand because Quarmy liked it. Now that Madrigal would also wear

this brand of clothes, she felt a little humiliated, but there was no other way. She couldn't go out naked.

Her hands had no strength at all. Not only did her head hurt, but she also felt dizzy. It took her a long

time to change her clothes. She felt as hot as a furnace. She felt thirsty and her throat dry. She must

have caught a fever.

She knew very well that she needed to see a doctor at this time. Her clothes and purse were not with

her. So far, she could only rely on Quarmy.

She didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore. Quarmy had once said that she was no

longer his woman, so she couldn't trouble him anymore. She had to rely on herself.

She struggled to open the bedroom door. Quarmy sat on the sofa and heard the sound. He turned his

head to look at her.

He bought the clothes according to her size, but why were the clothes obviously too big for her? This

woman was indeed thinner. He was very sad, but his voice was still cold. "I have already ordered

breakfast. It will be delivered soon."

"Thank you, Mr. Huo." Monica tried her best to act as if nothing had happened. "Mr. Huo, please lend

me your phone."

Quarmy's head ached after hearing her businesslike tone. He speechlessly handed the phone to her.

Monica's hand trembled as she dialed Summer's number. "Summer, come pick me up."

She didn't know where this place was, so she looked at Quarmy and asked, "May I ask where this

place is?"

Quarmy stared at her for a few seconds and calmly answered her. Monica repeated the name and then

hung up the phone.

She passed the phone to him and thanked him. Quarmy snorted. "Why are you standing there? Are

you waiting for me to invite you to sit down?"

She didn't want to stay a minute longer in front of the man, especially after experiencing such a thing.

She had already lost her dignity, but she still tried to maintain her self-esteem as much as possible.

"Thank you for last night. I should get going!" Then she turned around.

A trace of helplessness flashed through Quarmy's beautiful eyes. She was still so stubborn and

unyielding, not willing to admit defeat. Would it kill her to show a little weakness? He asked, "Are you

leaving just like that?"

Monica turned her head and said, "I will return the clothes to you."

Looking at her indifferent face, a fire burned in Quarmy's heart. How could she still be okay with

something that big? Did she know what would have happened if he hadn't saved her? A fire was

burning in his heart. "What's the use of giving me the clothes you've worn? Throw it away!"

Monica was so overwhelmed by his words that she couldn't breathe. Her head was dizzy and painful,

and her vision was black. She didn't have the strength to argue with him. She staggered to the door

and opened it to go out.

She felt like she was exhausted, but there was a determination in her heart. Summer would definitely

come to pick her up as soon as she received the call. She just had to hold on until Summer came.

Monica held the wall and walked slowly to the elevator. It was only a short distance. Usually, it would

take only a few steps to get there, but she felt it was so far away. Her feet were as heavy as stones. It

took her a lot of effort to move a step. She finally moved to the door of the elevator and raised her hand

to press the button of the elevator, but she could not control herself and fell down.

Looking at Monica's determined back, Quarmy let out a dejected sigh. He patted his head in

annoyance. He already knew that she was very stubborn, so why couldn't he forget to stimulate her?

As long as he thought that she didn't give him a chance to explain and had disappeared without any

news for three years, he felt that he couldn't forgive her and stay calm.

Hearing her leaving footsteps, he couldn't stay in the house, so he got up and chased her. From a

distance, he saw a person lying at the elevator door. Quarmy's eyes widened. He rushed to her and ran

outside with her in his arms.

Monica suffered a great shock and had a high fever. Quarmy's heart ached for her red-hot face. It was

all his fault. He loved spending time with her so much that he forgot to send her to the hospital last

night.

Summer drove to the address Monica gave her, but she couldn't find Monica anywhere. So she dialed

the number that Monica had just called her, only to hear Quarmy's voice. She was stunned and thought

that she had called the wrong number. Quarmy told her that they were on the way to the hospital. After

hanging up, Summer rushed to the hospital.

When Summer arrived, Monica was taking intravenous drip. Quarmy was waiting by the side of the bed

anxiously. Seeing him holding Monica's hand, Summer rushed forward. "Hey, what did you do to

Moni?" "Keep your voice down!" Quarmy said with a rare good temper. "Something happened to her."

"What happened to her? Moni went on a date with her boyfriend yesterday, why is she with you now?

What the hell do you want? Isn't enough for you to hurt her by cheating? Do you still want to prevent

her from being happy?" Summer had no good impression of Quarmy at all, so she said it directly.

Quarmy did not retort. What happened last night was not a good thing for Monica. He had specially

informed the police station to block off the news. He was afraid that it would have a bad effect on her if

it was leaked out.

Although Summer was Monica's good friend, it would still be troublesome if she found out about this.

Therefore, he chose to be silent in the face of Summer's question.

Based on Quramy's attitude, Summer was convinced that he was to blame. "Quarmy, you can leave

now. You're not welcome here!"

How would Quarmy be willing to leave? Summer said angrily, "Are you leaving or not? If not, I'll call

your mistress and ask her to get you out of here!"

While they were arguing, Monica woke up. When Summer saw it, she stopped attacking Quarmy.

"Moni, how do you feel?"

"Water!" Monica felt her throat was so dry that it was almost smoking. Quarmy immediately poured a

glass of water for her. Monica drank it up and felt better. Summer took the glass from her hand. "Did he

bully you?"

Monica shook her head and looked at Quarmy. "Thank you, Mr. Huo, for sending me to the hospital. I'm

fine now. You may leave first!"

Quarmy stood still. Monica had no choice but to drive him out. "I want to talk to Summer. Please."

Quarmy hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't want to leave. Summer ordered without any

politeness. "Hey, didn't you hear that? Hurry up and leave!"

"I'm outside. Call me if there's anything you need." Quarmy turned around and left the ward, but he

didn't go too far away.

"What happened? Why are you in such a state?" As soon as Quarmy left, Summer couldn't wait to ask.

"Summer, I thought I would never see you again... Evan... He... He's not a good person!" Monica's eyes

reddened.

"Evan hit you?" Summer first thought of violence.

"No!" Monica explained what happened last night to Summer in an inarticulate manner.

Summer was furious. "Bastard! This bastard! If I see him, I'll skin him alive and pull out his sinews!"

She was terrified after thinking about it. It was fortunate that Quarmy had just passed by. Otherwise,

things would have gone out of control. It was just that why would Quarmy appear there by coincidence?

"Why would Quarmy be there?"

"I don't know either. I didn't ask." After Monica woke up, she was shocked, scared, and ashamed. How

could she think about this? Summer thought for a while. "Why do I feel that this is not so simple? There

is no enmity between you and Evan. Why did he plot such a big trap to frame you? Is there any chance

that Quarmay is the one behind this matter? Otherwise, why would he appear there so coincidentally?"

"Quarmy schemed against me?" Monica was stunned and immediately shook her head. "He's not that

despicable."

"Don't put in a good word for him. How good could a man that cheated on you during a marriage be?"

Summer had no good impression of Quarmy at all.

"What's his motive?"

"His motive is very simple. You humiliated him. He's got to get it back." Summer reminded.

"Is that so?" Monica still didn't quite believe that Quarmy would do such a thing.

"I just want to remind you that humanity is sinister. Based on what he's done before, you have to be

careful of him. You can't be grateful to him because of this. Remember, it's his fault that you become

like this!"

Monica nodded. "I know. Don't worry, I won't have anything to do with him!"

Summer did not believe that Evan would set up a trap to harm Monica, neither did Quarmy. He also

suspected that someone was behind this as well. He naturally thought of the Wang family as to the

relationship between Monica and Roland.

Although Roland's reputation was not good, he was a treasure in Old Mr. Wang's heart. Old Mr. Wang

would never allow his precious grandson to have anything to do with a divorced woman. However, this

was just a suspicion. He had no evidence, so he could not say anything in front of Monica. He just had

to be alert. In order to prevent something like this from happening again, he had to pay more attention

to this woman.

He asked Noah to keep an eye on the Wang family, and investigate whether Evan was instructed by

them. After the phone call, he found that there were several missed calls from Madrigal.

He called her back with a frown. "What's the matter?"

Madrigal's soft voice came, "Are you free tonight? Mom bought fresh seafood, and she invites you and

Aunt Sun to have dinner together."

"I'm not!" Quarmy replied.

He refused directly and decisively. Madrigal had to hang up the phone and shouted to Lancy, who was

in the kitchen. "Lancy, you don't need to buy seafood tonight."

Yale heard the voice and came downstairs. "Why not?"

"He said he didn't have time to come over." Madrigal leaned back on the sofa and answered listlessly.

"Is he that busy?" Yale did not believe it.

"It's just an excuse. Didn't he often take time to accompany her to dinner when he was so busy?"

Madrigal was unwilling to give up after thinking about it. "Mom, didn't you say that you would deal with

Monica? Why hasn't there been any news yet?"

Yale glared at her and then looked at Lancy, who was busy in the kitchen. She lowered her voice and

said, "It's not the time to talk about this."

"I'm anxious!" Madrigal said with a bitter face. "I won't be at peace until it's settled."

"Don't worry, we'll have news in the next two days." Yale seemed to have a well-thought-out plan.

"Mom, what have you done? Can you tell me?" Madrigal was very curious.

"You don't need to know, but if this thing works out, that b*tch will be ruined. She'll never be able to take

your man." Yale lowered her voice. When she saw Lancy coming out of the kitchen, she stopped the

topic and told Lancy, "Go and buy more seafood. I want the best."

Lancy agreed and went to the market. After she left, Madrigal asked Yale curiously, "Quarmy won't

come over. Why did you ask her to buy seafood?"

"I have my reasons." Yale smiled in a sinister way.

In the evening, Zoe came back a little earlier. When he entered, Yale gently took his bag and went to

make tea. After Zoe sat comfortably on the sofa, Yale came over with tea and said, "Have you gone to

see Moni recently?"

"No!" Zoe answered. That day, he went to find Monica and asked her to stay away from Evan, but was

rejected. After that, he didn't go to see her again. Thinking of Monica's attitude at that time, he felt a

little depressed. "Moni is too cruel! She doesn't care about her father at all!"

"It's because she's still mad at us. We let her down first, so is normal for her to hate us. You have to be

closer to her. As time goes on, she'll naturally forgive us." Yale persuaded. "No matter what, she can't

joke about her marriage. Look at the guy she is dating. Does he deserve her?" Zoe got angry at the

thought of it.

"So you have to persuade her!" Yale looked like a virtuous stepmother. "I asked Lancy to buy fresh

seafood today. You can give some to Moni, and take this opportunity to talk to her. After all, she is your

child, and you can't just leave her alone!"

Yale acted as if she was caring about Monica. Zoe was very satisfied with her performance and went

out with fresh seafood.

Madrigal had been watching it. She couldn't understand why her mother did this. Yale hated Monica

more than herself. Why did she ask Dad to send Monica seafood? However, Yale had her own reasons

for doing things. Seeing Lancy busy herself in the living room, Madrigal didn't dare to ask.

It didn't take long for Zoe to come back. Seeing the seafood in his hand, Yale stepped forward in a

gentle voice. "Moni didn't want it?"

"No!" Zoe sat down. "Moni is sick. She is in the hospital now!"

"Then let's go visit her." Yale looked worried.

"Let Lancy make some soup. I'll go to the hospital."

"Lancy made chicken soup tonight. Take it and go visit her quickly." Yale immediately went into the

kitchen and put the chicken soup in a thermos bottle. Zoe took it and hurried out.

After Zoe went out, Yale and Madrigal sat on the sofa waiting for news after dinner. Madrigal could not

help but lower her voice. "Mom, we made it?" Yale nodded and said, "I think so. But why didn't he call

me to ask for the final payment?"

As she spoke, her cell phone rang. She picked up the phone and looked at it. Then, she immediately

got up and went into the bedroom. Madrigal also followed in.

A husky male voice came from the other end of the line. "It's done. Give me the rest of the money and

I'll give the stuff to you."

Yale was happy. "I'll transfer the rest of the money to you right away."

Madrigal saw her mother smiling happily and knew that it must be good news. Yale hung up the phone

and told her daughter, "Madrigal, we made it. Transfer money to this account immediately."

She took out a bank account from her drawer and handed it to Madrigal. Madrigal was a little hesitant.

"Mom, aren't you afraid of being cheated since you haven't seen the stuff?"

"Impossible. Nine introduced him to me. He won't cheat me! What's more, didn't your father say that

the little b*tch was hospitalized? It must have something to do with this matter." Madrigal had to turn on

the computer to transfer 500,000 yuan according to Yale's instructions.

It didn't take long for Zoe to come back. Yale came up and said, "How is she?"

"I didn't see her." Zoe sighed and handed the thermos bottle in his hand to Yale.

"She doesn't want to see you?"

"No." Zoe looked at Yale and Madrigal with a complicated expression. He didn't know what to say.

When he arrived at the hospital, he saw Noah carrying a thermos bottle into Monica's ward. He was

sure that Quarmy was also in the ward.

Seeing Zoe's expression, Yale was secretly happy. It seemed that Monica's situation was not very

good. She controlled herself and asked, "Didn't you ask the doctor?"

"Yes." Zoe sat down.

"What did the doctor say?" Yale and Madrigal were anxious. They were really anxious, but they couldn't

ask too much.

"The doctor said she had a fever. It's not a big deal." Zoe sighed and looked at his clever and sensible

daughter. "Madrigal, I advise you to forget about marring Quarmy."

"Dad, what do you mean?" Madrigal's face suddenly turned pale.

"What happened?" Yale was also shocked.

"I saw Quarmy in Moni's ward." Zoe hesitated for a moment and had to tell the truth.

"He found your relationship with Moni?" Yale's heart sank. If Quarmy found out the relationship

between Zoe and Monica at this critical moment, Madrigal would not be able to get engaged to him.

"No. But Quarmy was accompanying Moni when she was sick, I think he still loves her. We all know

why Madrigal would be with Quarmy. If Moni hadn't been unable to give birth that year, such a thing

wouldn't have happened. Now that Moni has returned and Quarmy still loves her so much, you'd better

quit, Madrigal." "Dad!" Madrigal's tears rolled down, and she looked sad and pitiful.

"I know you like Quarmy, but he doesn't love you. He just feels sorry for you, and you won't be happy."

Zoe tried to persuade her. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have sacrificed your happiness for Moni."

"Zoe, have you forgotten why Moni was divorced? Even if Madrigal quits, Jenny will still not accept

Moni because she can't give birth. It's impossible for the Huo family to accept it." Yale calmed herself

down. What happened at that time was related to her. If she hadn't said to Zoe that Monica was bullied

by Jenny, and if it hadn't been for her willingness to sacrifice Madrigal for Monica's happiness, Zoe

wouldn't have agreed to Madrigal's surrogacy.

Zoe was silent. It was indeed a big problem that Monica couldn't give birth to a child. He knew clearly

what kind of person Jenny was. She wouldn't accept Moni. When he was hesitating, Madrigal burst into

tears. "Dad, the matter between me and Quarmy has been known all over Jiang City. Aren't you forcing

me to die by asking me to quit at this time? How can I have the face to live in the future?"

"Nonsense! What are you talking about?" Yale shouted at Madrigal in a fierce voice. Madrigal

understood what Yale meant. She knelt on the ground and said, "Dad, if no one knows about the

engagement between me and Quarmy, I will definitely quit, but now everyone knows. If I quit, I have no

other choice but to die!"

Zoe looked at his crying daughter and sighed. "I was just advising, why are you so excited?" Yale

helped Madrigal up. "Madrigal, your father didn't mean that. He just doesn't what your sister to suffer,

and we both owe your sister. You can't force him with your life. You are also his child, how can he bear

to let you die?"

Zoe sighed heavily after hearing that. Madrigal was also his daughter. If he hadn't agreed to let her

bear the child for Monica at the beginning, things wouldn't have become like this. Thinking about

Madrigal's sufferings, he felt also bad. So he got up and went into the study. Yale also supported

Madrigal to go upstairs. Yale closed the door and let go of Madrigal. She sat down on the bed and

breathed heavily. "I'm so angry!"

Madrigal also wiped the tears on her face, and said fiercely, "Dad's so biased!"

"Biased! Let him be. When things get out, I wonder how will he face it." Yale's face was full of ferocity.

"Mom, what the hell did you do?"

"What else can I do? I did something to ruin the little b*tch's reputation. When we get the stuff, we can

spread it out. Everyone in Jiang City will know that she is a slut. I wonder what will she do." Yale said

with hatred on her face.

Madrigal didn't expect that her mother was planning this. Her mother was really awesome that she

didn't give Monica any chance to counterattack. Monica must be going down.

However, when Mardigal recalled that Zoe had said that Quarmy was now accompanying Monica, she

felt really upset. "Mom, Quarmy is now in the hospital." "Don't worry. He won't be there long!" Yale

sneered and picked up the phone to call Jenny.

Jenny was furious when she heard that Quarmy was in the hospital with Monica. Her son was really

blinded. The woman had attacked them like that, but he still wanted to get close to her. Thus, she

ordered the driver to go to the hospital.

Since her son insisted on being obstinate, she would have to be a villain again. Jenny angrily pushed

open the door of the ward, which startled Xanjer and Summer in the ward. Jenny looked around but

didn't see her son. She naturally asked, "Where's Quarmy?"

Summer sneered. "Lady, you went the wrong way, didn't you?"

Jenny ignored Summer and walked straight to the hospital bed. She looked at Monica and said,

"Monica, how can you be so shameless? Since you know so well that I'm an evil mother- in- law and

Quarmy is a scum, why do you still pester our Quarmy?"

Just as Monica was about to speak, Summer interrupted. "Madam Huo, you probably feel too good

about yourself. Moni is not someone who can't move on. She's not interested in you guys."

Jenny stared at Summer fiercely. "Who are you? Is there any right for you to speak here?"

"Then what's your right to speak here? You have no manners. How dare you run to Moni's ward and

make a lot of noise? Do you think this hospital is yours?" Summer was furious, and her words were

completely merciless. Monica added. "Madam Huo, this is my ward. Please leave, or I'll call the

security!"

Jenny was shamed. She glared at Monica and said, "Monica, is it appropriate for you to act like that?

We didn't despise your sterility and we'd been looking for a cure for you, but you couldn't bear to be

lonely and cheated on Quarmy. Even so, our Quarmy still didn't abandon you. But how could you be so

vicious to cause Madrigal to miscarry? I tell you, the Huo family didn't let you down. If it weren't for my

kindness, you would have been in jail because!"

Monica was so angry that she trembled. What the hell was she talking about? It was Quarmy who

cheated, but now in Jenny's eyes, she was the one who had an affair. Jenny was really good at turning

black to white. Xanjer was furious. "What bullshits are you talking about? Believe it or not, I'll beat you

up!"

"How dare you!" Jenny didn't care about Xanjer at all. "Believe it or not, I'll put you in jail with just a

phone call!"

"Is cheating still the right thing to do? Do you think the police station is yours? Do you want me to go

outside and expose those dirty things you have done?" Summer was very angry.

Monica already knew what kind of person Jenny was. She couldn't ask Summer to stand up for her, so

she stopped Summer. "Madam Huo, let me tell you the truth. You and your son are the weirdest people

I've ever seen. I lost my eyes and had a relationship with your son. Now I know I'm wrong. I beg you to

stay away from me. I want nothing but "Did you hear that? It's your son who pesters our Moni. We've

chased him out countless times. Please take your son away. He has polluted the air here!" Summer

said without mercy.

"You..." Jenny's face turned red.

"Madam Huo, please leave!" Xanjer's face darkened.

Looking at the unfriendly eyes in the ward, Jenny blushed and left. When she walked out of the door,

she saw Quarmy looking at her with no expression on his face. "Quarmy!"

Quarmy asked in a cold voice, "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here? Look at you!" Jenny felt so humiliated. In the past, Monica was rude, but she had

never said vicious words. But Summer was different. Jenny finally knew how scary Summer was.

"What's good about that woman? She's vicious, unfilial, and sterile. Why do you pester her? Do you

know how she scolded me just now? I'm so ashamed."

As Jenny spoke, she began wiping away her tears. Quarmy frowned, and impatience flashed across

his eyes. "I'll send you home!"

On the way back, Jenny didn't forget to mention how vicious Monica and Summer were. Quarmy had

been silent, but later he couldn't bear it anymore. "Mom, you don't have to act. I heard what you just

said."

Jenny's face turned red. "What did you hear?"

"Mom, I am your son. Don't you feel tired to act in front of me?" "When did I act? I just asked her to stay

away from you. Is there anything wrong with that?" Jenny was unreasonable.

"You're not wrong, but I am. It's me who shamelessly wants approach Monica. Do you understand?"

"Why?"

"Why?" Quarmy sneered. "Mom, don't you know?"

Jenny's face turned hot. "Son, it's all in the past. We have to look forward. Madrigal is such a good girl,

and she has done so much for you. You can't let her down."

"I let her down? Aren't you the one who designed all of this?" Quarmy laughed at himself. "Mom, it's

you who owes her. If you hadn't done that, would it have been like this?"

"I didn't do it for you, okay? You were so obsessed with that vixen that you didn't want to divorce her.

The Huo family can't have no kids. Otherwise, how could I face your father?" Jenny retorted. "What's

more, what's so good about that vixen? Not only can't she give birth, she even cheated on you behind

your back. I'm so angry when I think of this."

"Can't you stop talking about this?" The word "cheat" provoked Quarmy, and her voice suddenly

became louder.

"If I didn't remind you, you would have forgotten the pain. I really can't understand why you love her so

much? She's nothing compared to Madrigal." Jenny tried her best to belittle Monica. "She's poor

without family education, Madrigal is different. She is kind with a good background. If I hadn't begged

her, how could she have agreed to carry your child? Let me tell you, we're mother and son, and you

have to pay for what I owe her. You must treat her well!"

"Pay for what you owe her?" Quarmy suddenly sneered. "Since I have to pay for it, why don't we give

VSUS to Madrigal?"

"What are you talking about?" Jenny was shocked by her son's indifferent tone.

"Mom, I want to ask you a question. In your heart, which is more important among the company, the

dignity, the child, and my happiness?"

"Your happiness, of course."

"Since my happiness is important, can you please don't force me? I am a human being, not a puppet.

Can you let me choose my life according to my own wishes?"

"As long as you don't have anything to do with Monica, I can." Jenny made concessions.

"But I don't have any interest in any woman except her." Quarmy's voice was cold. "Unless someone is

so silly as to be willing to live as a widow!"

Jenny knew that Quarmy was not joking. During the three years after Monica's leave, her son had

always lived with her. Apart from Madrigal, no other woman had appeared by his side. The reason why

Madrigal could appear by his side was also because she forced him to do so. In the past three years,

the relationship between him and Madrigal had never improved.

This was the first time that he had told her his thoughts very formally. Jenny sighed disappointedly.

"What did I do to deserve this?" Roland was very upset that Monica had not come to work all day. This

woman was really too much. How could she disappear without asking for a leave. What on earth did

she want to do?

She must be with her boyfriend. At Roland thought of this, he was very angry. He felt ashamed to call

her, so he asked Beck to call her and give her a warning.

As a result, her phone was turned off. Roland was even angrier. He thought she turned it off because

she was afraid of being disturbed. "Monica, let's see how I will deal with you!"

On this day, Roland spent his time cursing and swearing. In the evening, he finally could not help but

drive to the Monica's apartment. To his surprise, it was dark and Xanjer was not at home.

He was so angry. Had this woman moved to another place? He waited downstairs until midnight

without seeing her. Then, he went home with a lot of resentment.

Early in the next morning, he rushed to her apartment again. This time, he finally saw Xanjer. Only then

did he know that Monica was hospitalized. Then, he rushed to the hospital without stopping.

"What's wrong? Why are you so sick in a day?" Looking at Monica's pale face, Roland felt distressed

for no reason. Monica only felt ashamed when she saw Roland. If he knew that she was almost raped,

she wouldn't be able to face him.

Summer, who was standing at the side, said, "She got caught in the rain the night before yesterday."

"She got caught in the rain? Why?" Roland stared at Monica up and down. "Why is your forehead a

little blue?"

"She accidentally smashed into the wall." Summer replied.

"Were you drunk?" On the night of Monica's departure, she went to attend a birthday party with Evan.

Roland took it for granted that Monica was drunk. "Why did you drink so much? Why didn't your

sweetheart drink for you?"

When he mentioned that, he found that Evan was absent. Why wasn't Evan accompanying Monica?

"Where is that Evan?"

"Don't mention him!" Summer's face turned cold. "What happened?"

Monica looked pitifully at Summer, she was afraid that Summer would tell Roland what had happened

directly. Summer was naturally not so foolish. She answered impolitely. "He broke up with Moni!"

"Really?!" Roland's face was full of joy. He had been thinking of a way to separate Monica and Evan

when he saw them dating. Now it seemed that God was on his side.

After being happy for a while, Roland felt a little angry. He guessed that Monica's sickness and the

wound must have something to do with Evan. Wasn't that Evan just a man? They had just known each

other for a few days, but she had tortured herself for him like this!

There he scolded Monica. "Look at you. Isn't he just a man? What's the big deal about breaking up? Do

you really have to humiliate yourself like this?" "Mr. Wang is right. You don't have to humiliate yourself."

Summer winked at Monica, who lowered her head and remained silent.

Seeing that, Roland scolded her for a while. Then he picked up the phone and called Beck happily. "I

am in the hospital. Moni is sick. She looks sallow, emaciated and malnourished. Bring some nutritious

tonics here right away!"

Beck hurriedly agreed and hung up the phone to talk to himself. "Yesterday, he called her Special

Assistant Mo, and said that he would punish her severely. How did he change so much in one night?

Not only did he call her Moni, but he also asked me to prepare tonics. The boss is really hard to read!"

Yale thought that she could get what she wanted after transferring, and then Monica's reputation would

be ruined. However, two days passed, and nothing was sent to her. She was a little anxious, so she

called Nine, but it was disconnected.

How could he turn off his phone? Did something happen? Yale was a little confused. After waiting for a

day at home, she couldn't help but drive to the cat's alley.

It was where she used to live when she was poor. The place was full of all kinds of people and it was

the most chaotic place in Jiang City. There was the biggest gangs in Jiang City. At that time, as a single

woman with a daughter, Yale had made friends with many gangsters with her ability.

Nine was one of them. He took drugs, fought, and basically did all kinds of things including rape and

robbery. Therefore, he was the first one Yale thought of when she was planning to deal with Monica.

Monica was not an ordinary person. With Zoe around, she could not let gangsters deal with Monica

directly. If it was exposed, Yale herself would definitely not be able to escape. So she thought of the

way to deal with Monica through her blind date. When the time came, Monica could only blame herself.

Yale knew that Nine knew many people, so she turned to him.

Nine had replied to her in two days, saying that he could do it, but the price was a little high. After all,

this was not an ordinary thing. One had to have a little acting ability to do it.

Yale agreed with the price offered by Nine very quickly. First, she gave him 100,000 yuan. She knew

what kind of men Monica would like, so she handed the information to Nine. Nine handed the

information to Evan and asked him to find a perfect way to attract Monica.

Evan was one of the best liars. After carefully reading Monica's information, he finally came up with a

plan. First, he used his identity to gain Monica's attention. Then, he deliberately put on a show in the

interactive game to move her. Finally, he said that he had the same experience as her to gain her

sympathy and affection.

Yale was overjoyed to see Monica choose Evan on TV. She knew that Monica had a strong rebellious

mentality against Zoe, so she deliberately let Zoe advise her to stay away with Evan.

At this point, Yale partly succeeded. She urged Nine to have Evan do it immediately, fearing that the

matter would get worse. So there was the so-called birthday party.

As a single woman, Monica was like a weak sheep. As long as she went into Evan's trap, the

consequences could be imagined. Yale was 90% sure that she was in danger, so she carefully let Zoe

visit her. After hearing that Monica was in the hospital, she thought she made it.

So when Nine called to ask for the rest of the money, she gave it to him quickly. But now she found that

she seemed to have been a little sloppy. She should have given him money after she got what she

want.

But now there was no room for her to regret. The only way was to go find Nine.

Yale parked the car on the open space at the cat's alley. She walked to a courtyard skillfully. The door

of the courtyard was unlocked. She pushed the door open and saw a man with gold teeth and a pipe in

his mouth, basking in the sun in the courtyard.

"Niu!" Yale greeted him.

When Niu saw Yale, he was surprised and took off the pipe. "What brings the mayor's wife here?"

Yale walked to the man and asked, "Niu, where is Nine?"

"What do you want with him?" Niu retorted.

"Private matters." Yale didn't want to say more. "Why are you in his house?"

"Now it's my house," Niu replied. "He sold the house to me." Yale was stunned. Apparently, she didn't

expect that Nine would sell his house. "Why?"

"How do I know?" Niu picked up the pipe again and stared at Yale's face evilly. "Flower, you really

disappointed me. Why don't you look for me? Can't I do what Nine can do?"

Flower was Yale's nickname when she was in the cat's alley. Because she was beautiful, everyone

called her like this. In the past, she would be proud upon hearing that, but now she only felt extremely

awkward.

However, Niu seemed to ignore her embarrassment. "It's said that women become as ugly as they get

older. It doesn't work on you. Why do I feel that the older you are, the more beautiful you become?"

Niu had always had a crush on her. He had always touched her and provoked her with dirty words

before. In the past, Yale had to accept it. But now things were different. She was no longer the previous

Yale who had no backer. She was the mayor's wife, how could she be bullied by a gangster? Yale's

face sank. "Niu, watch your mouth!"

"Watch my mouth?" Niu sneered, "You are indeed different after marrying the mayor. I feel strange.

Why didn't you say this when I touched you?"

"Do you believe that I will beat you?" Yale trembled with anger.

"Flower. I don't like to see you like this. What the point of acting? Don't I know you well? So what if you

are the mayor's wife. I remember those dirty things you have done very clearly." Niu was not afraid of

her at all.

Yale's face changed. She thought that it was meaningless to argue with a rascal, so she turned around

and walked away. She heard the voice of Niu behind her.

"Hannah is also from the cat's alley, but she is different from you! She is upright and admirable. Who do

you think you are? You took the man of your bestie. How dare you still be so arrogant! Believe it or not,

I'll expose all your past scandals!"

Yale quickened her pace. When she reached the alley entrance, she ran into a person. "Yale?"

Yale glanced at him with a disgusted look on her face. The man did not care about her attitude. "What

are you doing here?"

Yale wanted to ignore him at first, but thinking about the purpose of her coming today, she could only

hold it back. "Where has Nine gone?"

"He is in trouble and he ran away!" The man answered.

"He ran away?" Yale was stunned and couldn't believe it.

"What do you want with him?"

Yale was unwilling to say that. "Remember to inform me if you have his news. I have a score to settle

with him."

"He won't come back." The man shook his head. "He has already made migration a month ago."

"This bastard!" Yale knew that she was cheated by Nine. Her angry look aroused the man's curiosity.

"What's the relationship between you and Nine?" Yale naturally wouldn't say that Nine had lied to her,

so she found an excuse to leave. The man behind her called out, "Yale, you... how are you?"

"I'm fine!" Yale gave a simple answer.

"Does he treat you well?" The man asked again.

"It's none of your business." Yale was impatient. "I have something to do. I have to go first."

She got in the car in a hurry. When she started the car, in the rearview mirror, she saw the man

standing in the alley and looking at her, which made her feel upset.

"What the hell!" She cursed and started the car to leave. On the way back, she scolded Nine again and

again. In addition, she felt angry because she had spent a lot on it. It was all hard-earned money she'd

saved over the years. She had saved up for so many years. Because of her trust in Nine and her

strong willingness to get rid of Monica, she was actually fooled by Nine.

Yale was so angry! She had always schemed against others, but no one ever schemed against her.

Now she not only was humiliated but also suffered a big loss. Hundreds of thousands of dollars didn't

do anything at all. She really couldn't bear it. How could she be fooled?

When she got home, Madrigal also came back from outside. "Mom, have you got the stuff?"

Yale threw her purse on the sofa angrily. "Forget it. Son of a b*tch. How dare he lie to me. I lost

hundreds of thousands of yuan for nothing. It really pisses me off!"

"Who lied to you?" A cold voice sounded. The mother and daughter looked over and saw Zoe standing

at the door of the study with a cold face.
