Every Breath You Take

Chapter 90

"It's Moni! Moni's conning back!" Lancy, who stood in a remote corner and coldly watched the

engagement ceremony, shouted loudly and ran to Monica after seeing her.

"Moni, you're finally back. I thought I wouldn't see you again!" Lancy's voice choked.

Monica also ran to Lancy excitedly. She stretched out her arms and hugged Lancy. Lancy had worked

as a nanny in the Jane family since Monica was a child. She had always been very good to Monica.

Yale and Jenny also came over. When Jenny saw Monica, her first thought was that she was here to

cause trouble. She stood in front of Monica aggressively and said, "What are you doing here?"

Monica let go of Lancy and squinted at Jenny. "Madam, who are you in this family?"

"I..." Jenny's face turned red, and the contempt on Monica's face stimulated her nerves. "This is my

daughter-in-law's home."

"Well, then it's not your home. What qualifications do you have to ask me?" Monica retorted rudely. She

turned to look at Yale and said with a fake smile. "Am I right, Madam Jane?"

Yale smiled awkwardly. She knew that things would not go so smoothly. Monica must have done it on

purpose. Fortunately, the ceremony had ended. "Moni, let's go in and talk!" "Why? Just drive her out!"

Jenny was used to being domineering. Monica didn't have money or power, so Jenny was not afraid of

offending her at all.

Monica sneered. "When does this family become an outsider's? Is there going to be another change?

Madam Jane, you have to keep an eye on Mayor Jane. He is very charming man. Don't let others

seduce him!"

Jenny knew what Monica meant. How could she say that? It was really impolite. Jenny gasped and

was about to retort, but Monica looked at Yale and asked, "Madam Jane, have you cleaned up my

room?"

Yale tried to put a smile on her face. "Your room has always been kept."

"It can't be the smallest dark and moist room, can it?"

"No, it's the largest one with sunshine."

"That's good." Monica turned back to tell Lancy with satisfaction. "Lancy, please take the luggage in

Mayor Jane's hands upstairs. Thank you very much!"

It was not until then that Jenny noticed that Zoe stood aside with the luggage and looked at them.

"What's going on?"

Zoe's eyes were cold and his face was gloomy. He didn't miss what Jenny had done to Monica. In front

of so many people, Jenny was treating Monica like this. It could be imagined how arrogant she would

be if there was no one.

How much had his daughter suffered?! He ignored Jenny's question and didn't give the luggage to

Lancy. Then, he went into the house.

Quarmy and Madrigal also came over. Quarmy looked at Monica with a complicated expression. What

did she want to do? He remembered what she said that night. "If you don't get engaged to Madrigal, I...

I will consider be with you!"

He did not believe her words and thought that she was doing this for revenge, so he hung up the

phone. Later, she called him again but he refused to answer the phone. In the end, he turned off the

phone directly.

The moment he saw Monica, he thought that she was here to mess things up. However, when he saw

her smiling and clapping her hands, he knew that he was wrong. Monica looked at Quarmy and

Madrigal with a mocking smile. "Congratulations, Miss Jane! I hope you have a child soon!"

Madrigal opened her mouth but did not say anything. Quarmy sneered and said, "Thank you, Miss Mo."

"You're welcome! That's what I should do!" Monica smiled. "Take your time, I'll take a look at my room

and have some rest!"

Seeing that she entered the house casually, the four people were all unhappy. Yale and Madrigal still

had smiles on their faces, but their hearts were in a mess. They did not believe that Monica would do

nothing to them.

Jenny was the most ignorant one among them. When she saw Monica's arrogance, she was so angry

that she asked Yale in defiance of protocol, "Madam Jane, what's going on?" "Let's talk about it later.

Let's go to the hotel and entertain our guests first!" Yale forced a smile. Although there were not many

people here, she could not talk about this matter in front of them.

The point was that this matter was very disgraceful for her. After Hannah's death, Zoe came to City A to

take office, and she naturally followed him. No one knew that Zoe had a dead ex-wife. She had been

always claiming to be his only one all these years. If anyone knew that she used to be a mistress, what

should she do?

This engagement banquet was not in the best of atmospheres. Although Zoe attended it, he didn't look

as happy as he did in the morning, and his attitude toward Jenny became a little cold.

After the banquet ended and the guests left, Jenny mentioned Monica again. Zoe replied faintly, "Moni

is the daughter of my ex-wife."

Jenny's face suddenly turned pale. If it weren't for Quarmy's help, she would have fallen over. "How

could it be possible?" Wasn't Monica a poor girl? How did she become Zoe's daughter?

It was impossible that Zoe didn't know about Monica and Quarmy's marriage in City A. Yale and

Madrigal knew very well that she clean Monica out of the house. In this case, why Zoe agreed to the

engagement of his second daughter and her son?

"Why not?" Zoe looked at Jenny with a hint of impatience. "I'll go back first. Moni hasn't had dinner yet."

Zoe strode out. Yale told Jenny to sit down. Jenny finally recovered. She looked at Yale and asked,

"What's going on?"

Yale sighed. "It's a long story. Moni was born by Zoe's ex- wife, Hannah Mo. Because of a

misunderstanding, Hannah left with Moni. Later, an accident happened and Hannah died. Her brother

Xanjer blamed Zoe on her death. Then, he took Moni away and changed her surname. We'd been

looking for her before, and we just found her recently."

Yale was good at lying. Hannah's death was originally caused by her affair with Zoe, but she blamed it

on a car accident. Monica left the family because of the mistress and the illegitimate daughter, but she

said she was taken away by Xanjer.

Of course, Yale dared to say so because she knew that Zoe would not deny it. Hannah was dead. For

his reputation, he would never admit that he used to cheat on his ex-wife.

Quarmy felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. He got up and went out to smoke. Seeing him

leave, Yale winked at Madrigal, who immediately followed him.

Quarmy stood outside and lit a cigarette irritably. He felt very uncomfortable after hearing what his mom

and Yale said. One was snobbish, and the other was a lair. Thinking of Monica's mocking eyes, he was

even more flustered.

Madrigal walked to his side and stood still. "Auntie Sun didn't know that I was surrogacy for my sister,

because my mother didn't want anyone to know it. We lied. Don't blame my mother..."

Madrigal defended Yale. "My mother... was indeed disgraceful at that time, but I had no choice. After

all, she gave birth to me and raised me up. I couldn't hate her in any case."

Quarmy could understand Madrigal. He also had some opinions about Jenny, but she was still his

mother. He couldn't go against her or abandon her.

"Quarmy, if you're unwilling, you can cancel our engagement now. I won't blame you."

Quarmy looked back at her pitiful look and forced a smile. "Don't talk nonsense."

Jenny was not a fool. She did not believe Yale's words. What kind of misunderstanding would make

Hannah and Monica leave? Madrigal and Monica were the same age. Yale should be a mistress, right?

And she didn't believe that Zoe and Yale didn't know about what happened between Monica and

Quarmy. Since they knew that she abused Monica, why were they still willing to let Madrigal marry

Quarmy? Thy must have done it for the Huo Family's money.

At first, she was very shocked and worried that Madrigal and Quarmy's marriage would be canceled.

But then she changed her mind. She felt a little flustered. How could she pick out the daughter of a

mistress for her son? But when she remembered Monica's conflicts with her, she thought she still

preferred Madrigal. Madrigal was gentle, kind, and reasonable. She would not go against her like

Monica.

Then, she laughed dryly and said, "I see. What about Quarmy and Madrigal?" "Actually, Zoe and I are

also in a dilemma. Zoe once told Monica about this. He was worried that she would have a problem

with it, but she turned to be very reasonable. She didn't object to the marriage between Quarmy and

Madrigal. In addition, Quarmy and Madrigal are in love with each other, so Zoe and I won't disagree."

Yale was too talkative. After saying much, she used Monica's permission to express her idea. Jenny

laughed and said, "Yes. Since Quarmy and Madrigal love each other, how can we, as parents, stop

them?"

Yale nodded. "There is no need for them to feel guilty for Monica. Let bygones be bygones!"

"Yes! Let's move on!" Jenny naturally echoed.

"By the way, since you knew about Monica's identity, I have nothing to hide. There is another thing I

have to tell you." Yale was a good judge of character. Since Monica came back in a justified way, she

would naturally meet Quarmy more. In order to prevent them from being together, she had to be on

guard.

"What is it?"

"It wasn't Zoe who refused to help you get the city construction project last time. Monica asked him to

give that project to others. Zoe felt guilty for her, so he agreed."

"I see." Jenny seemed to be enlightened, and her hatred for Monica increased a little. If it weren't for

her, VSUS wouldn't have lost a large sum of money.

"But don't worry. Zoe has already compensated her. There won't be such a thing in the future." Yale

hinted at Jenny.

Jenny nodded. She naturally understood Yale's meaning. Now that things had come to this, she had to

let it go. She stood up and said, "It's too late. I'll ask Quarmy to send you back!"

Although Jenny said so, it was Noah who was driving. Madrigal and Yale were sitting in the back seat,

while Quarmy was sitting in the passenger seat. The atmosphere was depressing, and they didn't say a

word on the way.

Noah glanced at Quarmy with a strange look. Why did he feel that Mr. Quarmy Huo was in a bad

mood? What on earth happened?

When they arrived at the Jane family, Quarmy did not get off the car. Madrigal did not stick to him as

usual, but waved goodbye to him.

Seeing that Quarmy's car went away, she took a deep breath and said, "Mom, do you think Jenny will

believe your words?"

"She has to!" Yale snorted. She had been trying to put on a happy face, and the muscles in her face

were stiff. Thinking that it was all Monica's fault, she cursed her in a low voice, "Damn little b*tch, why

did you come back? What a jinx!"

"Yeah, I was so nervous today. I thought she would cause trouble, but she didn't do anything."

"By the way, what did Quarmy say?"

"He trusted me. We're good now."

"That's right. Quarmy's always thought that you are innocent. Now he feels sorry for you because of

your health. I don't think he would doubt you, but you still have to be careful." Yale reminded her

daughter, "Quarmy is good, but he is too filial. If Monica was willing to coax Jenny, how would she be

cleaned out? You must remember that no matter what happens, don't provoke Jenny. You must coax

her well. As long as she is happy, Quarmy will be yours."

Madrigal nodded. Thinking that Jenny used to force Quarmy to divorce Monica with her life, she told

herself that she must try her best to satisfy Jenny.

The mother and daughter stood at the door for a while, and then entered the house. Monica was eating

in the dining room. Lancy and Zoe, who sat aside, were looking at her.

After taking a shower and a nap, Monica looked refreshed. She was not as lethargic as she was at

noon. The dinner was made by Lancy. She ate it with happiness. "I haven't eaten noodles made by you

for a long time, and it's still so delicious!"

Lancy looked at Monica lovingly. "I'll cook whatever you want every day in the future!"

"Thank you, Lancy!" Monica smiled sweetly and continued to eat noodles.

Hearing the noise, Zoe turned around. Seeing Yale and Madrigal, he asked calmly, "You're back?"

Yale walked over with a smile on her face. "Zoe, how can you let Moni eat noodles?"

"Moni said that she didn't want to trouble Lancy." Zoe answered.

"Tomorrow, I'll cook to welcome Moni."

Monica quickly finished the noodles in the bowl, put down the chopsticks and stood up. "I'm full. I'll go

upstairs first! Lancy, thank you!"

She completely ignored Yale. Yale was not angry, and she was still smiling. Zoe was very satisfied with

her performance. Seeing Monica went upstairs, he asked Yale to go to the study with him. He closed

the door and asked, "What did Jenny say?"

"Nothing, she was just surprised. I only said that when Moni was a child, she was taken away by

Xanjer. We'd been looking for her before, and we just found her recently."

Zoe nodded. "Whether she believes it or not, that's it. She's really ruthless. Seeing how arrogant she

was to Moni, I'm really worried that Madrigal will suffer..."

"No, she didn't know that Moni was your daughter at that time. Madrigal is different. Jenny has to treat

her well for your sake."

Zoe nodded. When he thought that Moni was back, he was very happy. "Remember to treat Moni well.

She's a kind girl. If you treat her well, she will slowly accept you."

"I know. Don't worry, I will treat her as my daughter."

Zoe's voice softened a little. "Thank you!"

Quarmy returned home. Jenny had been waiting in the living room for a long time. "Quarmy, why did

you come back so late?"

Quarmy walked over to her and sat down. "Mom, why don't you rest?"

"I'm waiting for you, aren't I? How can I rest well after such a big thing happened? I want to discuss it

with you."

"What's there to discuss?" Quarmy asked.

"Aren't you surprised?" Jenny was very dissatisfied with her son's indifference. "I've experienced so

many things, but it still shocked me. Monica and Madrigal are sisters, but why don't they look anything

like each other?"

"Siblings can look nothing alike, let alone half-sisters." Quarmy answered faintly.

"Xanjer is so cruel. No matter how much he hates Zoe, he shouldn't have taken Monica away! If

Monica had been living with Zoe..."

"Yes, if you knew Monica was Zoe's daughter at that time, you would certainly not do that to her. Am I

right?" Quarmy's voice was very calm, but the irony in his tone was very obvious.

Jenny smiled awkwardly. "You can't say that. I asked you to divorce her because she was sterile. It has

nothing to do with her identity."

"In that kind of environment, it's normal that she became sterile." Quarmy sneered.

"Let's not talk about this first. You have to be careful. Since Monica came back to the Jane Family, it is

inevitable that she will do something bad to us." Jenny reminded him.

"Mom, are you worried that she will take revenge on you?" He sneered. "It's too late."

"Quarmy, everything I did is for your own good! You have to guard against Monica. I always feel that

she will definitely retaliate against us!" Jenny knew that her son was unhappy, so was her. She saw

Monica's hostility and Zoe's love for Monica very clearly. Otherwise, Zoe wouldn't have been so cold to

her after Monica appeared.

Didn't Yale say that it was Monica who stole the city construction project? If Monica continued to play

tricks in the future, the sports meeting project might also be someone else's.

That was why she had been waiting for her son in the living room. She wanted to ask him how to deal

with it, but he didn't care about it at all. He looked like it had nothing to do with him.

"Let her be!" Quarmy looked impatient.

"Have you ever thought that with Monica around, Zoe will help you less." Jenny reminded.

"Mom, without Zoe's help, my company is going to die?" Quarmy asked. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"No. I know you're great, but you're alone. I have to find you a helpful wife. I don't think Madrigal is the

best choice now."

"What do you mean?" Quarmy was very surprised. "Do you want to break off the engagement?"

"If Zoe doesn't help you, there will be no need for you to marry her!" Jenny said confidently.

"You'd better think it over." Quarmy's face was full of impatience. "It was you who took the initiative to

ask her to marry me. Now it's you who want to break off the engagement. Zoe's is not a pushover. Do

you think he will agree?"

Hearing that, Jenny sat down dejectedly.

Seeing that, Quarmy was very sad. He had known that his mother was snobbish, but he didn't expect

her to be so snobbish. His engagement with Madrigal had nothing to do with love. Anyway, he could

marry anyone if Monica didn't want him. But he couldn't accept his mother's ruthlessness. If she knew

that Madrigal couldn't have children, he didn't know what would happen. Thinking of how she forced

him to marry Madrigal before, Quarmy sneered. This was retribution. She would never have a

grandchild. He got up and said, "I'm tired. Good night!"

Seeing his indifferent expression, Jenny was a bit upset. Since Monica left, her son was getting less

and less patient when he talked to her.

But she didn't think that she was wrong. Everything she did was for his good. Why didn't he appreciate

it?

Monica went back to her room and called Xanjer, saying that she had returned to the Jane family.

Xanjer was very surprised. Monica told him the reason, he sighed. "Moni, you have to be careful. Yale

is not a good person."

"Don't worry, Uncle. I'll be careful."

After hanging up the phone, Monica lay on the bed, tossing and turning. When she saw Quarmy and

Madrigal at the engagement ceremony, she was actually a bit sad. It was just she didn't show it.

She tried her best to smile to him, who had hurt her the deepest. She knew that Jenny would definitely

be surprised by her identity, and she didn't think they could sleep well this night. However, it was not

the end!

Monica turned over. The purpose of her return this time was not only to get Zoe's property, but also to

get Quarmy's sperm. The first was simple, but the second was tricky. How could she get Quarmy's

sperm?

Should she seduce him and have sex with him? Monica shook her head. This method would not work.

Even if she could force herself to sleep with him, there was no guarantee that she'd get pregnant.

She had had sex with him for countless times during that five years, but she didn't get pregnant until

she divorced him.

Therefore, it was hard for her to get pregnant. The only way was to steal his sperm! But how?

She remembered that she had read a story. It was about a woman who got pregnant by stealing sperm

from a condom.

The method sounded great. Quarmy and Madrigal were already unmarried couples, so they would

definitely have a relationship. If she could replace their condoms with non-spermicidal condoms, and

then get their condoms after they had sex...

Monica wondered if they would use condoms. After all, Jenny wanted a grandchild very much. Quarmy

was so filial that he would definitely satisfy his mother's wish.

Monica sighed. "What should I do?"

The next morning, when Monica got downstairs, she saw Zoe and Yale sitting on the sofa in the living

room. Seeing her, Zoe smiled lovingly. "Moni, did you sleep well last night?"

"Yes!" Monica answered lightly. "Let's have breakfast first!" Zoe got up, so did Yale. She said with a

smile, "Zoe asked Lancy to make what you like. Let's have breakfast together."

"Thank you!" Actually, Monica did not thank them at all. She hated to see these people's fake smiles. If

it was not for Coco, she wouldn't have been here.

Because of Monica's return, Zoe did not go to work this day. However, he had been answering the

phone nonstop.

Monica was bored and went to Zoe's study. She wanted to find a book, but she accidentally saw the

documents on his desk about Jiang City's sports meeting.

Monica was enlightened. Since there would be a sports meeting, Quarmy would definitely fight for this

project. But she would not let him achieve his goal. Only Queen could defeat Quarmy's company.

Monica hurried out of the house with her bag. She was going to find Roland.

Monica walked out of the Jane family and hurried to the nearby bus station. She'd been waiting for

more than ten minutes but no bus arrived. A man who was also waiting for the bus pointed to the car

next to them. "That person has been staring at you. Do you know him?"

Monica turned her head, only to see Quarmy staring at her in the car.

She didn't expect him to be here. Her first thought was that he came to pick up Madrigal, so she turned

around. However, she heard the sound of opening the door and then smelled the familiar scent of him.

Quarmy had already come to her side. "Let's talk."

Monica ignored him directly. Seeing her indifferent look, his heart was aching. Last night, he couldn't

fall asleep, so he drove here. He had a lot of questions, so he stopped the car here and called her, but

he couldn't get through on her. He thought that her phone was turned off. Actually, his number was

blocked by her.

He didn't want to go back, so he stayed in the car for the whole night. It was a tough night, and he had

been thinking why she came back to the Jane family at this time.

They had been married for five years. Until now, those sweet memories would still flash in his mind. He

always thought that he knew her. But at this moment, he realized how ridiculous he was. If Monica had

loved him, she would not have hidden her true identity.

She never mentioned her relationship with Zoe when she was his wife, nor did her contact with Zoe

after she left him. Why did she return to the Jane family when he was engaged to Madrigal?

When he finally saw her just now, he felt very complicated. He stared at her in a daze, but she passed

by his car directly, which reminded him of what she had said to him before. "I've got radar on me. If

you're within 500 meters of me, I'll be able to sense you."

Just now, he was no more than two meters away from her, but she didn't notice his existence. Quarmy

found himself very childish. How could he believe her every word she said? Since she left, he swore

that he would never believe her again. But what she said seemed to have rooted in his heart. He would

always think of it.

Perhaps he had stared at her for too long, a man who said something to her. She turned around and

saw him, but she ignored him again after an indifferent glance. Her ruthlessness made him rush out of

the car and hold her hand without thinking.

"Follow me!"

"Let go!" Monica struggled. She didn't want to get on his car. Since he refused her ruthlessly last time,

her last affection for him had disappeared. From then on, they could only be strangers.

Monica was dragged into the car by Quarmy. He locked the door. Monica stared at him fiercely.

"Quarmy Huo, are you out of your mind?"

"Monica, I have something to ask you!" Quarmy completely ignored her anger. "You have to answer me

honestly."

"Who do you think you are?" Monica stared at Quarmy with a contemptuous sneer on her face.

He ignored her hostility and said, "Why did you come back to the Jane family?"

"Cant' I?"

"You must have a purpose, because you didn't even want to come back in that situation. And why did

you call me that night? I want to know the reason."

Wasn't it too late for him to ask why?

"I was crazy." Monica answered.

"Do you want to take revenge on Madrigal?" Madrigal! What an affectionate address! Monica turned

her head and her eyes were cold. "So what?"

"I won't let you succeed. You'd better give it up." Quarmy stared at her. "I won't let anyone hurt her!"

He said the same thing to her once, but now he wanted to protect another woman. Monica felt funny

and sad. She was really blind. How could she fall in love with such a man? How could she believe that

he would bring her happiness? Fortunately, everything had passed.

"Quarmy, I won't let you bully me anymore. From now on, I will let you pay for what you did bit by bit. I

swear!"

"Heh, we'll see." Monica pointed at the car door. "Open the door!"

Quarmy did not move. "Monica, Madrigal is innocent. If you want revenge, take it out on me!"

"I say open the door!" Monica was furious. "If not, I'll call your fiancee!" She took out the phone,

Quarmy had to open the door. Monica got out of the car. After a few steps, she suddenly turned around

and walked back.

She motioned for him to open the window. He thought she had something to say, so he poked his head

out. She raised her hand and slapped on his face. "This is the price you have to pay for forcing me to

get in your car. I also want to tell you that you will pay for what you said today. I swear!"

Seeing her fierce eyes full of hatred, Quarmy felt a twinge of pain in his heart. "Why did they become

like this? Why?"

After that, Monica no longer had the mood to wait for the bus. Instead, she stopped a taxi and went to

Roland's company. Seeing Monica, Roland stood up in shock. "Why are you here?"

"I'm back to work. Mr. Wang, don't you welcome me?" Monica tried her best to keep calm.

"Of course I do!" Roland carefully observed Monica's expression. He was really surprised. He naturally

knew about Coco's illness. Shouldn't Monica be with Coco at this time? Why did she suddenly come

back?

He couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask, "How's Coco's illness?"

"It's stable now." Monica answered, but she was stunned. "How do you know that?"

"I... I knew it by accident." Of course, Roland would not tell her that he had been following her. Looking

at Monica's gaunt face, he felt distressed. "Monica, don't worry. Now that the medicine is so developed,

Coco will be fine. My family has hospitals overseas and I've asked them to let me know if they find the

right bone marrow."

"Thank you!" Monica did not know how to express her gratitude to Roland. She could only say thank

you.

"Don't worry about the medical expenses. I'll help you."

"Thank you!" Monica could only thank him again.

At this moment, Beck came in. He was also surprised to see Monica. "Are you back?"

Monica nodded. Beck sighed, stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder to comfort her. "Luck has

a way of working itself out. Everything will be fine. Don't worry too much."

"Thank you."

Seeing that, Roland felt uncomfortable. He asked, "What's up, Beck?"

Beck turned his head. "Mr. Wang, the organizing committee of the 8th National City Games has been

officially established in Jiang City. All the games are in Jiang City. The organizing committee estimates

that the sports meeting will require 88 competition and training venues, 38 of which are existing and 50

of which are new. The total investment in the entire new construction, renovation and maintenance of

the venues will reach 20 billion yuan."

Roland's face turned solemn all of a sudden and asked, "The bid announcement is out?"

"Yes!" Beck put the bid announcement in front of Roland. Roland read it carefully and said with

excitement, "This will be profitable!"

Beck nodded. "Indeed, it's even better than the city construction project."

"We must get this." Roland was excited.

Beck nodded. "But Quarmy will definitely fight for it. Last time he lost to us, this time he must be more

careful. We can't underestimate him. It's a tough mission!"

"What are you afraid of? I like competition!" Roland laughed coldly. "I don't like weak opponents. Let's

compete with Quarmy again and see who will be the winner!"

Monica interrupted. "I'm here for the sports meeting. Mr. Wang, if you need anything, tell me."

"You just need to let Zoe not be partial to Quarmy." Roland replied. "This time, I must let Quarmy know

how powerful I am!"

Roland immediately called the team for a meeting. At the same time, Quarmy was also holding a

meeting for the bidding. They were all trying to get this project.

Roland was a classic work-and-play kind of guy. In such a tense atmosphere, he did not forget to enjoy

the delicious food. He went to XM Restaurant with Monica for lunch.

Monica saw Madrigal and Nee here. Without Quarmy's company, Madrigal was no longer as elegant as

before. Perhaps because of the engagement, she smiled happily. Nee, who was with her, looked very

rude.

Nee even kept talking with food in her mouth. Seeing Nee's look, Monica felt sick. Madrigal a noble and

elegant lady. How could she make friends with such a rude woman?

Roland noticed Monica's eyes and couldn't help laughing in a low voice. "You sister really knows how to

set herself apart. But when she was making friends with such a weird woman, did she forget that

people would think they were the same?"

Monica was stunned for a moment and then immediately understood what he meant. So Madrigal

made friends with Nee in order to set herself apart? She really did not expect that. Roland was really

clever.

"By the way, did you come back in a hurry yesterday to attend your sister's engagement ceremony?"

Roland asked again.

"Sort of!" Monica answered faintly. Everything between her, Madrigal and Yale was private. She didn't

want others to know.

Seeing that she obviously didn't want to talk about this, Roland shut up. At this time, Madrigal's phone

rang. She picked up the phone and answered it. She heard something and then answered repeatedly,

"Don't worry. Dad has promised that it won't happen again!"

Roland and Monica looked at each other. They thought of Jenny. Were Jenny and Madrigal talking

about the sports meeting project?

Sure enough, the two of them were right. After the call ended, Nee asked Madrigal in an ingratiating

manner, "Is it your mother-in-law?"

Madrigal nodded, and the smile on her face almost disappeared. She couldn't let Quarmy lose this

project. Otherwise, Jenny would dislike her. She had to find a way to prevent her father from helping

Monica.

Monica quietly ate the food, but her heart was a mess. She was very clear about the intentions of

Jenny and Madrigal. If it weren't for her, the city construction project would have been Quarmy's. This

time, Zoe would definitely help Quarmy for the sake compensation, but she wouldn't let this happen.

Her son was suffering from the pain of illness at such a young age. How could she let Quarmy and

Jenny live happily? She must fight for this sports meeting.
