Chapter 74
"Zoe? You... you are at home?" The sudden appearance of Zoe gave Yale a fright. Wasn''t he supposed
to be at the municipal government at this time? Why was he at home?
Madrigal was also dumbfounded when she saw Zoe. "Dad, why are you back?"
"You just said that you were deceived by someone for hundreds of thousands?" Zoe came over and
stared at Yale. He went to see Monica again today, and only then did he know that she was almost
bullied. Zoe was so angry that his heart ached. It was really a blessing. If Quarmy hadn''t noticed that
Evan was a bad person, he didn''t know what would have happened.
Monica had a tough personality. If things really happened, she definitely wouldn''t continue to live. Zoe
was both distressed and angry. It was all because of him. If he hadn''t married Yale, Monica wouldn''t
have run away from home, nor would she have been kicked out by the Huo family. Zoe was extremely
remorseful and self-meful.
He was not in the mood to stay in the office, so he made up an excuse that he was notfortable and
went home to rest. When he returned home, there was no one. He felt ufortable and sat in the
study to me himself. When he heard the sound of carsing from outside, he walked out of the
study, only to identally hear what Yale and Madrigal said. Yale was startled, but she reacted quickly.
"Zoe, I''m sorry!"
"Sorry for what?" Zoe''s voice was very cold. It had never been his intention to be with Yale. Yale and
Hannah were friends, and he had treated Yale as a friend. He had never thought that he would get
drunk and have sex with her.
After that, Yale did not pursue the matter, and he also forgot about it. He did not expect that after more
than ten years, Yale would appear again with a child. Hannah firmly believed that he had cheated on
her and hadn''t forgiven him until she died.
Zoe didn''t want to have anything to do with Yale at all. His original intention was to put Yale and her
daughter in another ce, but someone leaked the news and reported it to his superior. Fortunately,
the superior was familiar with him and kept this matter quiet for protecting him. Therefore, he unwillingly
married Yale, which was why he lost his daughter.
During the ten years, he lived with Yale, she had been gentle and caring. Although she was born in a
bad family, she did everything well and treated him as the center of this family. The most important
thing was that she often reminded him of Hannah.
Because of this, he gradually had some affection for her. However, he did not expect to see such a
vulgar side of Yale by ident.
Zoe was strange and disgusted with her like this. Yale, of course, also felt his disgust. She immediately
exined, "Isn''t your birthday around the corner? Since you like antiques, I was nning to buy you a
vase. But I was cheated by that bad middleman, who had taken my money and ran away."
"What did you say?" Zoe raised his voice.
"I''m sorry, Zoe! I didn''t mean it." Yale lowered her head and looked pitiful.
"Dad, Mom didn''t mean it. She just wanted to give you a surprise." Madrigal came up in time to lighten
the mood.
Zoe stared at Yale for a long time, and then he walked to the sofa and sat down disappointedly. "Things
have been really badtely!"
"What happened?" Yale quickly asked thoughtfully.
"Something happened to Moni. Fortunately, Quarmy saved her. Otherwise, I don''t know what would
happen." Zoe sighed and told them that Monica was almost raped.
Yale''s heart was filled with hatred. She had never imagined that the person who ruined her n was
Quarmy. However, she still pretended to be shocked and distressed on the surface. "How''s Moni?"
"She''s a little frightened. She''s fine now." Zoe''s face darkened. "If I catch that Evan, I''ll skin him alive!"
"Yes, he is too vicious. We must punish him when we catch him." Yale echoed, but her heart was
beating fast. If Evan was caught and Nine was exposed, would the police suspect her by following the
clues?
"I don''t know what''s the use of those policemen. Three days have passed, but there''s still no news
about that Evan. I''m so angry." Zoe rubbed his forehead.
Yale felt a little relieved. Nine said that Evan was smart with several ID cards. She hoped that he could
run away so that he would not be caught for his whole life.
Monica was discharged from the hospital after three days. Although there was nothing wrong with her
health, her heart was left with a shadow. Originally, she was hurt and did not believe in men. Now she
increasingly felt that men were unreliable.
In the past, she really wanted to find a father for Coco, but now she changed her mind0 She wanted to
work hard and make money so that she can raise the child on her own. Man is a pig.
Rnd did not know what had happened. Seeing the unhappiness on Monica''s face for a few days, he
thought that she was sad for the breakup. He felt very unbnced in his heart.
"Aren''t I better off than that Evan? Why can''t this woman see me?" Thinking of Evan''s gently smiling
face, he began to reflect. "Is it because I am so fierce that she doesn''t like me?"
Rnd decided to be gentler to win Monica''s favor. He no longer yelled at her and his voice became
gentle. Monica was not in the mood to find his sudden change, but Beck began to think nonsense
again. "Is Mr. Wang ill again?"
Leon learned that Monica was hospitalized. He called her to ask what had happened. Monica was very
wronged, and she had no precautions against Leon. So she told him what had happened to her. Leon
was shocked and angry. He was about to fly back, but Monica stopped him.
Coco, who was still young, naturally didn''t know what his mother had gone through. Hearing that his
mother was sick, he felt sorry for her. Heforted Monica on the phone in a childish voice. "Mom, are
you sick because you can''t find a dad for me? I don''t want Dad anymore. Take care of yourself. I''ll
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
With Leon and her son''sfort, Monica felt much morefortable, and the unhappiness on her face
disappeared a lot. Rnd thought it was because of his change, so he was secretly happy in his heart.
This time, after getting the project, the head office of Queen rewarded everyone who took part in the
bid at the branch in Jiang City. The bonus was quite a lot. In addition, the TV station paid Monica a lot.
Monica told Xanjer about this and said that she wanted to use this bonus to buy a two-bedroom house.
Xanjer was also very happy. With this bonus andpensation money for demolition, the matter of the
house could be solved. "Moni, after you buy a house, you can take Coco back."
"I think so. Uncle, let''s do it tomorrow. As long as the house is bought, I''ll bring Coco back!"
The next day, she and Xanjer went to buy a house together. After careful selection, they finally chose a
second- hand house with two rooms. It was well decorated, and Monica''s money was just enough to
pay the down payment.
After submitting the contract and paying the down payment, Monica was very looking forward to the
sweet life of her family in the future. She was in a good mood all day. After dinner at night, she surfed
the Inte in her room. Xanjer was watching TV in his own room. At ten o''clock, she was ready to
sleep and her phone rang. She answered the phone and heard Rnd''s vague voice, "Monica...
Monica..."
"Mr. Wang?"
"Don''t call me Mr. Wang. Why are you always turning a deaf ear to my words?" Rnd''s voice was full
of anger, but his words were particrly clear.
"Rnd, it''s sote. What''s up?" She asked patiently.
"Can''t I talk to you?"
"Fine! I''m all ears."
"Why don''t you talk and I''ll listen?"
"I don''t know what to say," Monica answered.
"Say something to make me happy!" Rnd said in a rude and unreasonable tone.
"What''s wrong with you? Did you drink it?"
"I... drank a lot of wine in the nightclub!" Rnd said with a hup. "Monica, I like it... I like you, do you
know?"
Monica did not speak. This guy was crazy because he drank too much. "I''m very sad... I''ve never been
so sad. Monica, do you like me even a little bit?"
When Monica was still silent, Rndughed at himself and said, "I knew you didn''t like me at all...
Actually, I don''t care you''re a divorcee if you like me even a little bit.."
"Rnd, you''ve drunk too much. You need to go home!" "No... I''ll wait for you here until you like me..."
During the conversation, Monica heard a crying from the other end. "Sir... Sir, what''s wrong?"
Then there was no sound on the phone. Monica was shocked. "Will anything happen to Rnd?" She
immediately called Beck, but his phone was turned off. She was very worried about Rnd. After
thinking for a while, she decided to rush over there. She hurried out the door.
She stopped a taxi on the road and went straight to the nightclub.
After she got in the taxi, she urged the driver to drive faster. She didn''t notice a luxury car with smooth
and beautiful lines behind her. Quarmy''s eyes were closely fixed on the taxi in front of him.
That woman trotted all the way out of the alley, looking flustered. She ran so fast that she didn''t even
see him standing at the entrance of the alley.
"As long as you''re within three miles of me, I can feel you." This was what she said to him before. This
day, he was standing there and staring at her with shining eyes, but she ran past him without noticing
him. It had to be said that women''s lies were more deceitful and addictive than men''s.
Monica hurriedly entered the nightclub and found the private room where Rnd was. He was leaning
against the sofa with his eyes closed. There were a few beautiful women sitting next to him.
Seeing Monica open the door, those women showed a vignt look on their faces. Monica went straight
to Rnd without caring too much. "Rnd, how are you?" Rnd opened his eyes and smiled after
seeing her. "You''re here?"
"Are you all right?" Monica looked worried.
"I''m fine, just a little dizzy. If you hadn''te, these women would have bullied me." He could still joke.
Monica found that she had been fooled. She turned and was about to leave. Rnd said behind her,
"Monica,e on. Help me up and take me home!"
Monica helped Rnd get into the car. He really drank too much. After getting into the car, he didn''t
move at all. Monica helped him fasten the seat belt and started the car to leave the nightclub.
Rnd had an apartment in a popr area. Monica had once been to the apartment to get documents,
so she knew where the apartment was. When Quarmy noticed it, his eyes became colder.
"Monica, I didn''t expect you toe." Rnd, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly said.
"How can I note?" Monica was not happy. He was her boss. How dare she offend him?
"Monica, you like me a little bit, right?"
These words startled Monica, who subconsciously slowed down. Rnd closed his eyes and
murmured, "I am so handsome, so rich and so capable. Few women can resist my temptation. Monica,
when did you fall in love with me?"
"Rnd, are you dreaming?" Monica was a little amused. This man was unusually arrogant.
"Monica! I''m sure you like me. You just don''t know it."
"I don''t like you. I don''t like you at all." She emphasized her tone.
"Women are all hypocrites! Do you think it''s so embarrassing to like me?" Rnd seemed to be
addicted. Monica ignored him and speeded up. Soon the car stopped under his apartment.
Quarmy also stopped his car with his eyes fixed on the car in front of him. Before the car door opened,
he saw that woman unbuckling the seat belt for Rnd. He had been the one to buckle and unbuckle
her seat belt, and now she was doing it for another man.
It seemed that she really liked Rnd, and Rnd must also like her very much. Otherwise, he would
not have flirted with her after knowing she was a divorced woman.
Quarmy was a little jealous of Rnd when he remembered that there were no gossips about Rnd
during this period of time. This woman was really charming. He had been so obsessed with her in the
past, and now even the yboy fell for her.
But why didn''t they get out of the car? The next scene was even more uneptable to Quarmy. He
saw it clearly that when Monica was unbuckling Rnd''s seat belt, Rnd suddenly held her in his
arms.
They started kissing face to face! How could they be so impatient? Quarmy felt his eyebrows twitch.
This was definitely not the first time they had been like this. What else had they done? Had they slept
together before?
The answer was obvious. The thought of Monica''s beautiful eyes half-closed as she moaned beneath
Rnd made a fire burn inside him.
Unable to bear it any longer, he started the car and drove away.
Monica did not expect Rnd to suddenly do it. When she reacted, he had taken control of her, and he
quickly kissed her lips.
He was so fierce that he didn''t look like a drunk man at all. Monica was struggling helplessly. Rnd
was really a good kisser.
She was soon led by him. After a long time, she heard his repressed breath and regained some mental
rity. Rnd also loosened his grip on her a little, and she took the opportunity to push him away.
"I... Moni, I..." He was pped by her before he could finish his words. She opened the door and ran
away.
Rnd touched his hot face, and he was not angry at all. It was worth a p for a kiss!
Quarmy drove the car aimlessly, with Monica and Rnd''s passionate kiss in his mind. There was a
fire burning in his chest. Things couldn''t go on like this! He must stop Monica and Rnd from being
together.
Rnd was a famous yboy. His only weakness was his lechery. Quarmy thought for a while and
finally came up with a solution. He called Noah. "Tell that Lily to fly to Jiang City and shoot a
Monica pped Rnd so hard that the red mark on his face had notpletely disappeared after a
night. When he saw Monicaing in, he deliberately showed her his face, but she lowered her head
and did not look at him.
Rnd was helpless. It happened that Beck came in to send documents. He asked with concern, "Mr.
Wang, what''s wrong with your face?"
"Allergy! It''s an allergy!" Rnd said with a smile.
"Allergy? It''s strange. Why is only one side of your face allergic? Do allergies only work in certain
ces?"
Monica added, "I had an allergy that caused a rash on one wrist."
Beck went out with doubt. Rnd coughed and said, "Moni, did you hit me with your allergic hand?"
Monica ignored him and said with her notebook in her arms, "Mr. Wang, I''ll give you an update on
today''s schedule."
Rnd saw that she was serious, and he also returned to seriousness. Except at working time, joking
was not a big deal.
"You''ll be interviewed by the magazine at 10:00 a.m. At 2:00 p.m. you''ll be at the Urban Development
Authority to sign the contract." Monica said in a businesslike tone.
There were two things that Rnd had to do today. He would remember it even if she hadn''t told him.
"Is there anything else?"
"There''s another very important thing," Monica said as if she suddenly remembered it. "Miss Lily will
arrive at the airport at four o''clock in the evening."
Hearing that, Rnd raised his eyebrows and looked at Monica with a faint smile. Monica paused for a
moment. "I have arranged a hotel for her and booked dinner for you. After signing the contract, you can
directly go to the airport to pick up Miss Lily to wee her."
"Who asked you to decide?" Rnd asked slowly.
"I didn''t make the decision on my own. I did everything ording to your orders." Monica looked
aggrieved.
"My orders?" Why didn''t he remember that he had said that before?
"Yes,st time Miss Lily only stayed in Jiang City for one day. At that time, you told me to treat her
ording to the standard of that day in the future. I just said the same thing as thest arrangement."
Rnd naturally did not expect Monica to say this. He''d forgotten if he''d ever said such a thing. Even if
he denied it, Monica would certainly not buy it. He couldn''t argue with that, so he stared at Monica for a
long time and smiled gloomily. "Well, you''re starting to surprise me!"
"It''s all thanks to Mr. Wang''s teaching!" Monica answered obediently. Her answer made him furious.
Monica was in a good mood when she saw how angry he was.
Rnd, he''d ever said such a thing about Lily at all. It was all made up by her because she was pissed
off after he kissed her in a drunken actst night.
With his shamelessness, he would definitely say he couldn''t remember the kiss thing. She had already
pped him, so there was nothing she could do. But the more she thought about it, the angrier she
became. She couldn''t let him go so easily. After returning home and lying on the bed, she suddenly
received a call from Lily. "Special assistant Mo, I''m Lily. Why can''t I get through to Mr. Wang?"
"I don''t know," Monica answered.
"I will fly to Jiang City tomorrow afternoon at four o''clock. Please tell him." Lily''s voice was full of
superiority. In the past, Rnd had always been very passionate about Lily, which led her to be always
arrogant. Although Monica didn''t like women in the entertainment industry, the appearance of Lily was
undoubtedly a good thing.
If she remembered it correctly, Rnd had not mentioned Lily for a long time. Rnd was a yboy. If
he was interested in someone, he would continue to talk about them. If not, he would have long
forgotten about them. Monica became excited when a woman who he was no longer interested in
suddenly appeared. She was sure that there would be a blow to him, so she decided to book a room
for Lily and did not forget to remind him of picking her up.
Monica was secretly happy to see Rnd''s unwillingness, but her happiness did notst long. A few
minutester, Rnd suddenly said slowly, "You apany me to have dinner with her!"
Monica did not expect that he would say this. "Mr. Wang, is this appropriate?"
"What''s wrong with it? That''s it, it''s settled." Rnd waspletely a tyrant.
She had to be their third wheel at dinner? Wasn''t it horrible? Monica suddenly froze there. Seeing her
stunned expression, Rnd was in a good mood. "It takes constant vignce to stave off evil. You''re
too young too naive."
At four o''clock in the evening, Rnd personally drove Monica to the airport. At the VIP entrance of the
airport, Lily came over with her assistant.
Monica enthusiastically opened the door for her. Because it was Rnd driving, she naturally opened
the co- pilot''s door. Lily was very happy to see Rnd, and she smiled softly. "Dear, do you miss me?"
Monica, who was sitting in the back seat, felt goosebumps on her skin. She was really unrestrained.
Rnd smiled evilly and nced at Monica, who was sitting in the back seat. "How can I not miss you?
I miss you every day!"
The two of them flirted all the way, and Monica turned a deaf ear to their nauseating conversations.
Rnd had been noticing her reactions. Seeing her indifferent look, he felt a little ufortable.
The car stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. Monica got out of the car hurriedly and opened the
door for Lily. Lily thought that it was time for Monica to leave. She stepped onto the steps of the
restaurant with the hand holding Rnd''s. Rnd turned back and sneered at Monica, who was
standing still beside the car. "Why are you standing there? Hurry up and follow us."
What did this mean? Monica would have dinner with them? Lily was instantly unhappy, but she had no
reason to be angry. However, her attitude towards Monica went from gentle to cold.
Monica naturally felt it. Lily was ming her for being an eyesore, but she was also helpless. Rnd
was so insidious that he wanted to torment her like this. She would never have made a decision like
this if she''d known the result would be like this.
The three of them sat down in the private room, and the waiter served the dishes soon after. Whether it
was intentional or not, Rnd didn''t even forget to give Monica food while he was catching up with Lily
cordially. He said casually, "Special Assistant Mo, this seems to be your favorite."
Rnd said it casually, but Monica immediately sensed hostility from Lily. She smiled unnaturally and
said, "Mr. Wang, you''re wrong. I don''t like it. It''s Miss Tina''s favorite..."
After saying that, she covered her mouth with her hands and looked regretful as if she had said
something wrong, which made Lily look even unhappier.
It was not a happy meal., at least to Monica seemed.
She didn''t dare to stay anymore. She excused herself and went out of the room while Rnd followed
her out. He blocked Monica in the corridor. "Are you happy being the third wheel?"
"Mr. Wang, I beg you. Please allow me to leave. If I stay here, I will die!" Rnd blew a flirtatious breath
at Monica. "I can let you go, but you have to promise me one thing."
"What is it?"
"Kiss me, and I''ll let you go!"
"Boring!" Monica pushed him away, and he shouted from behind, "Think it over. Don''t regret it!" Lily''s
voice rang out, "Honey, what are you doing outside?"
Rnd blinked at Monica and said, "I''ll wait for you!" Then he entered the private room again.
Monica felt a chill, but when she turned around, she bumped into someone. Quarmy''s eyes were cold
and his lips curled into a sneer. "Monica, you don''t even want your dignity now?"
It seemed that he had heard the conversation between her and Rnd. She sneered and said, "Mr.
Huo, can you tell me how to spell the word dignity?"
"You..." Monica was talking about his cheating. Quarmy''s face was ashen. "Monica, you don''t have the
right to use me. Ask yourself, how much better were you than me back then? If you hadn''t..."
Monica interrupted him. "Mr. Huo, I''m never someone who likes to talk about the past. The so-called
''back then'' is a thing of the past. What''s the point of mentioning it now?"
She said it casually, but Quarmy felt like his heart was being cut by a knife. This woman didn''t care
about him at all. She had already forgotten their past. She was trying to erase him from her life. How
could she be so cruel?
"Monica, don''t think that you''ll be carefree just because you have Rnd with you. Let me remind you,
Rnd is just a yboy. Don''t be tempted by his sweet words. He''s just having a fling with you."
Monica''s lips curled into a smile as she looked at Quarmy with an indifferent expression. "At least, in
my opinion, Rnd is much better than some cheaters!" With that, she turned her high heels and left.
Quarmy watched her back and tightened his hands.
Monica did not return to the private room but left directly. She called Rnd in the taxi and said that
she had something to do at home.
Rnd gnashed his teeth and said, "Monica, your bonus this month is cut in half!"
Lily was delighted to hear this. This special assistant was really clever. Without a third wheel, she felt
so happy. She leaned closer to Rnd and asked, "Dear, where are we going?"
Rnd smiled gently and said, "I''ll take you back to the hotel first."
The word "first" meant that he still had something to do. Lily was a little disappointed. Was it really
because she had been too arrogant?
After she left here after a day''s stayst time, she thought that Rnd would call her many times every
day as before, but the result made her disappointed.
Rnd didn''t even have to call her. She felt that things were not going well, so she took the initiative to
call him. It was in the evening, but he told her gently that he was very busy.
Later, he no longer answered her phone, so she noticed the seriousness of this matter. But her
schedule was so full that she couldn''t go back to Jiang City for Rnd.
Her return had been dyed. Finally, VSUS invited her to shoot an advertisement in Jiang City. She
called Rnd happily, but she could not get through. So she called Monica. Unexpectedly, Monica
readily booked a hotel for her. At the airport, when she saw Rnd, she was happy and reminded
herself in her heart that she couldn''t behave arrogantly this time. However, Rnd was still not
interested in her at all.
After sending Lily back to the hotel, Rnd left without stopping. Lily sat on the sofa alone with
annoyance.
Rnd drove out of the hotel and directly went to Monica''s apartment. He parked the car at the alley
entrance and took out his cell phone to call her.
Monica was very unhappy to get a call from him shortly after she arrived home. She controlled herself
and asked. "Boss, what''s the matter?"
"I''m at the alley entrance. Come out here for a second!" Ordered Rnd.
Monica ran to the alley entrance angrily. "What''s the matter?"
"Nothing. I just came to tell you that I didn''t go to the hotel."
Seeing Monica looking at him inexplicably, he exined, "I just want you to know that I am no longer a
yboy."
"Lunatic!" With that, she turned and ran. Although it was night time, Rnd still saw the redness her
face, which made him really happy. Seeing Monica''s figure disappear, he whistled and started the car
to leave.
When Monica returned home, she felt that her face was still a little hot. Rnd was really crazy. Why
did he deliberatelye here to tell her this? She didn''t care whether he was a yboy or not!
No! He must have mistaken her for a crush on him. She had to make it clear to him that she was not
interested in him at all. Monica picked up the phone and was about to call Rnd.
Her phone rang first, and Leon said in a low voice, "Monica, I bought tickets for me and Coco for.
Remember to pick us up tomorrow!"
"So fast?" Monica was stunned.
"I have other things to deal with, so I want to go back earlier!" Leon exined.
Because of Leon''s call, Monica became excited and had no mood to care about Rnd. Her baby was
nothing to prepare, so she sat down disappointedly. After getting used to a life of luxury at Leon''s
house, would Coco dislike her poor and small house?
Monica spent the night with worry and joy. The next day, she rushed to the airport with Xanjer at noon.
Seeing Monica, Coco was so happy that he threw himself into her arms. Xanjer was also happy and
said, "This is Coco, right? Come on, I''m your great-uncle."
Coco squirmed out of Monica''s arms and greeted Xanjer, who then hugged him and kissed him hard.
Coco was tickled by his beard
"Leon, thank you!" Monica stepped forward and held Leon''s hand gratefully.
Leon invited them to have dinner at the best private club in Jiang City. After eating for a while, Coco felt
curious about everything and opened the door to look around. Xanjer followed Coco out. There were
beautiful lights on the corridor wall. Coco pointed at the lights and carefully counted. Xanjer followed
him closely, afraid that he would get lost.
Several screens appeared in front of the long corridor. When Coco saw the portrait ofdies on the
screens, he curiously reached out to touch it. Then he and Xanjer started ying hide-and-seek
between the screens.
Quarmy, apanied by Noah, walked over withrge strides. Without any warning, Coco came out
from behind the screens and bumped into him. Coco fell to the ground and cried loudly.
Quarmy stretched out his hand to help him up. Xanjer rushed out in front of him and held Coco in his
arms. Quarmy was surprised to see Xanjer. "Why are you here?"
Xanjer ignored him. Holding Coco in his arms, he turned around and left. Seeing that, Quarmy knew
that Monica must be here. He was curious as to who she had brought Xanjer here to dine with.
Xanjer rushed into the private room with Coco in his arms. Coco was still sobbing. Monica felt strange
and asked, "What happened?"
"We met someone we shouldn''t have met," Xanjer replied.
Naturally, Monica understood who this person was. Her expression changed instantly. "Did he see
Coco?"
"He didn''t see him clearly."
"Don''t worry, boys are like mothers. Coco looks more like you, so he won''t suspect." Leonforted
her.
Monica nodded and let out a sigh of relief. She had to be careful in the future.
Although Quarmy was having dinner with his guest, he had been thinking about Monica. Who was she
eating with here? This club was the highest-grade club in Jiang City. It was a symbol of identity and
wealth. How could Monica bring Xanjer here? Who did theye with?
"Is it Rnd?" Rnd was the only one around Monica who could afford to this ce. He must have
invited Monica and Xanjer here to have dinner in order to please them. But who was the child?
Quarmy was absent- minded. His guest wasn''t a fool, so he tactfully said goodbye to Quarmy. As
Quarmy walked the guest out, he saw a familiar figure outside the club. Monica was standing at the
entrance with a flowery dress. At her side stood a tall, upright figure. Quarmy recognized that the
person standing next to her was Leon.
With a gentle and charming smile on the face, Monica looked at Leon intently with her big eyes. Leon
also had a gentle and indulgent expression. They looked like a lovely couple. The waiters of the club
were talking by the side, "Wow, this is the first time I''ve seen such a perfect match!"
Quarmy was in unbearable pain when he heard that. He walked away without looking sideways. Noah
followed behind him to open the door for him. Quarmy said expressionlessly after getting into the car,
"When did hee back?"
"He came back today," Noah answered. "Do you know why he''s back?"
"I don''t know."
"Are you an idiot?" Quarmy''s voice was filled with anger.
Noah didn''t say anything. After following Quarmy for so many years, he knew very well why he was
angry. He could understand Quarmy''s feelings. After all, Monica was his deeply loved woman and Leon
was a rival in his eyes.
When Noah was starting the car, Quarmy nced at the entrance of the club. Seeing Monica waving
goodbye to Leon, he felt a little morefortable.
After Monica left, Leon returned to the hotel. After a short while, someone knocked on the door. He
opened the door and saw Rnd, who stood at the door with his hands on his waist. "Leon, why didn''t
you tell me you wereing back? That''s not cool."
"I wanted to tell you, but you have always valued sex over friendship. I don''t want to disturb you and
your girlfriends."
"Girlfriends?" Rnd leaned on the sofa and said, "I''m single now."
"Come on. What about Lily?" Leon was very direct. "I heard that she flew to Jiang City yesterday and
you didn''t even go to thepany."
"Who said that?"
"It doesn''t matter. Just tell me, have you been with Lily all day?"
"Yes!"
"That''s right." Leon snorted softly. "You can never say no to beauties. It''s hard to change one''s nature,
isn''t it?"
"Leon, speaking of which I have something to settle with you." Rnd said in an aggressive tone, "Let
me ask you, why did you make a beautiful woman look like this and send her to me?"
"It''s none of my business that you have a problem with your eyes!" Leon casually retorted.
"If it weren''t for you, I wouldn''t have been so upset." Rnd let out a long sigh.
"What''s wrong? Is Miss Lily still refusing you?"
"She''d love to, but I''m not interested in her now. This woman is really strange. In the past, when I had a
crush on her, she was arrogant. Now she''s trying her best to stay with me, but unfortunately, I''m out!"
"Who do you like now?"
"Is there a need to ask?"
"Rnd, let me be frank with you. Monica is out of your league!"
"Why?" Rnd red at Leon. "I know what you are thinking. Wepete fairly now."
"Rnd, you are not qualified topete fairly with me." Leon did not care about him at all. "Will the
Wang family allow their young master to marry a divorced woman?"
"Will the Gu family allow that?" Rnd mocked. Leon''s expression changed. "This matter has nothing
to do with you. I will handle it myself."
"Leon, I''m different from you. You''re the eldest son of your family and everyone has high hopes for you.
If you insist on doing this, your elders will die of anger. But I''m different. I''m just the most useless
person in the Wang family. No one will stop me."
"I can hold out until they agree." Leon''s eyes darkened.
"But Monica can''t." Wang Feng smiled ruffianly. "You''re a gentleman. I''m a viin, so I have a dirty way
of doing things. Do you think my elders would be happy to see me have a son?"
"How can you be so despicable?" Leon red at him. "Rnd, don''t y tricks. If you dare to bully
Moni, I''ll let you know the consequences!"
"Leon, you don''t have to scare me. If Monica likes you, you wouldn''t have waited for such a long time.
As far as I''m concerned, you''ve already been eliminated!" Rnd was very confident in himself.
"Come on, yboy. You''re not her cup of tea at all. She hates yboys." Leon was not polite at all.
Hearing what Leon said, Rnd did not get angry but brought up another topic. "Leon, who''s Monica''s
ex-husband?"
"Ask her yourself."
"If she wanted to tell me, why would I ask you?" Rnd red at him. "Tell me, I beg you."
"Why do you ask this?"
"I''m going to teach him a lesson and let him know how serious his crime is!"
This made Leonugh. "I can''t tell you about this. I promised Monica."
"Tell me, is that guy in Jiang City?" Leon nodded. With a look of excitement on his face, Rnd asked,
"Does he do business?"
Leon nodded, and Rnd asked again, "Is it big or not?"
"It''s very big!" Leon replied.
"Quarmy''s the only divorced man I''ve ever seen with big business. Could it be that he''s Monica''s ex-
husband?" Rnd thought for a moment before shaking his head. "No way. Otherwise, why would Zoe
let his second daughter be with him?"
Leon was shocked by his guess at first, but when he saw him deny it, he felt relieved. "Well, it''s getting
The next day, Leon went to Queen. He saw Monica standing outside the president''s office. She pointed
at the office with a smirk.
"What happened?" Leon was confused.
"Miss Lily is here." Monica lowered her voice.
Leon broke intoughter. Monica was no longer in the mood to watch the show since he arrived.
"Come to my office!"
As soon as she finished her words, the door was pulled open. Rnd stared at them viciously and
asked, "What''s wrong with you, Assistant Mo? Why didn''t you report to me about the arrival of an
important client?"
Looking at his wrinkled clothes and the lipstick marks on his neck and face, Monica almostughed out
loud. How intense was the sex to make him look like this?
But wasn''t it too short? It hadn''t been just a few minutes since Lily entered the office. Could it be that
Rnd had premature ejaction?
Rnd didn''t care about what she was thinking. He reached out his hand and pulled Leon to another
office. While walking, he ordered Monica, "Clean up my office."
Monica stood outside for a long time before she opened the door. There was nothing to clean up in the
office, and it was still as neat as before. Seeing here in, Lily, who was sitting on the sofa with her
clothes in disarray, looked very unhappy.
Monica causally took away Rnd''s cup and left. Lily didn''t feel like staying any longer, so she
gathered herself and left.
In the office, Leon pointed at Rnd and grinned from ear to ear. "Rnd, see what you look like now."
"What are youughing at? I refused her, can you do that?"
"You refused her? I don''t think so." Leon stoppedughing. "You''re not neatly dressed and you have
lipstick marks on your face. How intense was the sex?"
"I didn''t."
"Who would believe it?" While speaking, Monica pushed the door open and came in. With two cups of
tea in her hand, she walked to them and put down the tea in front of them.
Rnd carefully looked at Monica. Seeing her lowering her head, he felt a little flustered. Just now, Lily
entered the door and gave him a kiss. At that time, Monica was standing on one side. He didn''t know
whether she would be angry or not.
No, he had to show his attitude. "Call the receptionist right now and tell them not to just let anyone into
thepany!"
Monica obediently made a phone call. "Linda, Mr. Wang asks you not to just let anyone into the
Linda''s rtionship with Monica was not bad. "Monica, I didn''t. Mr. Wang said before that Miss Lily was
special."
Monica looked at Rnd, who looked a little embarrassed. "Tell her, don''t let her in from now on."
Monica repeated what Rnd had said to her. "Mr. Wang doesn''t allow her to get in thepany from
now on."
"I know!" Linda replied.
After Monica hung up, her cell phone gave by Rnd rang. She saw the name and then looked at
Rnd. "Mr. Wang, it''s from Miss Lily."
"Answer the phone!"
After turned it on speakerphone mode, Lily''s voice sounded. "Miss Mo, I have a question."
"What''s it?"
"Is there anything wrong with Mr. Wang''s condition?"
"No. Mr. Wang is in good health!"
"I mean, did thest car ident affect some of his bodily functions? For example, his male function?"
Monica was serious. "I''m just an assistant. I''m not very clear about the president''s private affairs."
Lily was a little disappointed and hung up the phone. After Monica hung up the phone, Leonughed
his head off. Rnd, on the other hand, was speechless.
Quarmy was in a bad mood after Leon returned. Noah''s investigation showed that Leon was not here
for something important. Quarmy knew very well that he came back for Monica.
Quarmy''s eyes darkened. He was well aware of the rtionship between Leon and Monica. If it weren''t
for the fact that Old Mrs. Gu threatened Monica with Leon''s inheritance, she wouldn''t have broken up
with Leon.
This had always been a sore spot in his heart. Monica had chosen him not because she loved him, but
because she wanted to help Leon. Although their rtionship after the marriage had been very close,
he knew very well that Leon was someone she could never forget.
He has been carefully taking care of this hard-won rtionship, but the result was not something he
could control. Monica''s heart never belonged to him.
Quarmy sighed. His phone suddenly rang. It was from Zoe, who invited him to his house for seafood
and drinks. Quarmy could refuse Madrigal, but he could not refuse Zoe, so he agreed.
He couldn''t go empty-handed, so he told Noah to buy gifts for the Jane family after work. He spent
more than an hour on the road and finally arrived at the Jane family home at 7 p.m. Madrigal had been
looking at the door. When she saw Quarmy''s car, she ran to him happily and said, "Dad thought you
were noting."
"I promised Uncle Zoe toe." With that said, Quarmy took out gifts from the trunk. Madrigal''s face
was full of joy, as she thought that Quarmy waste because he had gone to buy gifts. "We still haven''t
finished the supplements you bought for Momst time."
As she spoke, Yale also came out. "It''s enough that you''re here. Why do you have to buy gifts?"
Quarmy smiled politely. "That''s what I should do!"
The servant had dinner ready. Zoe told her, "Bring me my fine wine collection. I''ll have a few drinks with
Quarmy today!"
"Dad, Quarmy has a bad stomach." Madrigal reminded him. Quarmy''s stomach had gone bad because
of Monica''s leave. At that time, he got drunk every day. He now often suffered from stomachaches.
"Girl, do you think your father is a drunkard? I just want to drink a little to liven things up." Zoeughed
and said, "It''s true that a grown girl can''t be kept at home. Are you going to be on his side before you
get married?"
"Dad!" Madrigal stared at Zoe with shyness and nced at Quarmy, who smiled and said nothing. She
had been with him for so long, but she had never seen any other expression on his face. He always
had such a gentle smile, as if he never had a temper.
Although his gentleness gave off a sense of intimacy, it did not seem real. It was as if he was wearing a
mask that made her unable to see through him.
Everyone said that Quarmy was good and gentle to her, but she knew that this was not a good sign. He
kept hiding his emotions in front of her, which meant that he was resisting her approach.
She suddenly felt a little bitter in her heart. Compared with Monica, she was nothing! Although Monica
was kicked out of the Huo family, Quarmy still cared about her.
After dinner, Quarmy and Zoe went to the study. For the sake of his daughter''s future happiness, Zoe
needed to give Quarmy an exnation for the project thing.
This was the first time Quarmy had entered Zoe''s study. He sat down on the sofa. Yale personally
brought two cups of tea into the room and then left.
After Zoe exined, he mentioned that there would be a sports meeting in Jiang City, and he would
help Quarmy to be the owner of the project.
Quarmy originally did not think too much about the city construction project. Now that Zoe had given
him such a bigpensation, he felt that things might not be that simple.
Rnd must have used some kind of method to get this project. He suddenly remembered the meeting
between Zoe and Monica. Could this have something to do with Monica?
No way. How could Monica affect Zoe''s decision?
When they were talking, Zoe''s phone rang. He interrupted the conversation and answered the phone. It
seemed to be something about work, so Zoe hadn''t hung up for a long time. Feeling a little bored,
Quarmy picked up a book from Zoe''s desk and flipped through it.
Unexpectedly, a photo fell out of it. He picked up the photo and was about to put it back in the book.
When he caught a glimpse of the person in the photo, he was dumbfounded as if he had been struck
by an electric shock.
