Chapter 122


    Seeing Quarmy leave, Lassie also left the pharmacy. On the way back, she called her son. "Ted, will he


    suspect us?"


    "Don''t worry. He won''t know our rtionship." Ted answered.


    Hearing that, Lassie calmed down. Only Yale and herself knew that Ted was her son.


    Lassie and Yale were from the same ce, the Cat''s Alley. Lassie was a few years older than Yale, so


    she and Yale were actually old friends.


    There were a lot of people in the Cat''s Alley. It was difficult for people living there to be unaffected.


    Lassie was from a poor family, so her life was really hard. She had been running a stall with her


    parents since she was a kid, but they didn''t make much money. Her parents grew older day after day.


    Her poor family made her very upset.


    At that time, a hooligan began to pursue her with sweet talk. The hooligan gave her some money every


    once in a while. Lassie was an easy girl. She quickly lived with the hooligan and gave birth to a son


    before they got married.


    Lassie''s parents were old and sick. Later, they died one after the other. Lassie then relied on the


    hooligan, but it didn''tst long. Soon after she gave birth to her son, the hooligan was sent to jail.


    Lassie, an unmarried girl, could not afford the child, so she listened to the advice of others and gave


    the child to the childless Lee family.


    After the Lee family adopted the child, they asked Lassie to leave this ce. Lassie was worried that


    the hooligan woulde after her, so she agreed. The Lee family gave her a sum of money for this.


    Lassie went to another ce. While working there, she met a man surnamed Huang. Later, she


    married him. At first, they were a sweet couple. Later, her husband began to beat her after knowing her


    past. She knew that she had done something wrong first, so she didn''t fight back. However, her


    husband got more and more out of line. He thought he was losing out on being married to a single


    mom, so he started to flirt with other women.


    Lassie knew that she was in the wrong, so she didn''t say anything about it. Seeing that, her husband


    actually took his mistress home and slept with her in front of Lassie.


    Who could stand it? Lassie finally resisted, but her husband didn''t care. He punched and kicked her,


    which made her face ck and blue. Lassie was actually not a timid person. She hated her husband so


    much that she grabbed an iron hammer to fight back. identally, her husband was killed by her.


    She was sentenced to life imprisonment for this. After living in prison for more than ten years, Lassie


    was released in advance because she performed well. In order to survive, she began to look for a job.


    At this time, she met Yale, who was already the mayor''s wife. Because they


    were acquaintances, Yale got her a job as a nanny.


    Lassie worked as a nanny for several years. Later, Yale found a way to let her be a servant in the Huo


    family. It was a big change for her to go from a nanny in a normal family to a servant of a billionaire.


    Although she was a servant in the Huo family, her life was much better than ordinary people. In order to


    stay at the Huo family, she tried her best to win the favor of Jenny. No matter how Jenny scolded, she


    wouldn''t say anything. Jenny liked that, so Lassie sessfully stayed at the Huo family.


    About three years after Lassie came to the Huo family, she secretly returned to Jiang City for her son,


    Ted. She learned that Ted was going to be sentenced for assault with intent. Therefore, she went to ask


    Yale for help. Yale tried her best to let Ted get rid of it. Later, Yale let Ted learn to drive and helped Ted


    be the driver of Zoe step by step.


    Later, Lassie knew that Yale had her own purpose to do these things. Yale just wanted her to be a


    pawn. Lassie was not a fool, but Yale did her a favor, so she gradually became Yale''s aplice. It


    was Lassie''s credit that Monica couldn''t get pregnant before.


    Originally, after Monica divorced Quarmy, Lassie wanted to leave the Huo family. Yale persuaded her to


    stay because she could help Madrigal a lot after Madrigal married into the Huo family. Therefore, she


    stayed.


    Although Jenny was snobbish, she was not bad to Lassie. Lassie had nned to save more money for


    her son, and then find a ce no one knew to live. However, recently Jenny became more and more


    irritable. Because of the bad mood and health, Jenny scolded Lassie every day. Lassie found that she


    could not bear it any longer, so she made an appointment with her son. She wanted to leave here as


    soon as possible, but Ted asked her to be patient. Hearing herining, Ted let her buy some


    medicine that could make people fall asleep for Jenny. In that way, Jenny could no longer scold her.


    Lassie agreed, but she then met Quarmy in the pharmacy.


    Although Ted said that Quarmy would not doubt it, Lassie felt a little uneasy. As the saying goes, a


    quiet conscience sleeps in thunder. She had done so many bad things, how could she not feel guilty?


    When Lassie returned to the hospital, Jenny was losing her temper in the ward. Seeing Lassie, Jenny


    scolded her, "Where the hell have you been?"


    "I went to the pharmacy." Lassie smiled and said, "I just saw Mr. Huo. He said he woulde to see


    you right away."


    Jenny''s injury was not serious. After the operation, she was fine. The reason why she stayed at the


    hospital was to get her son''s sympathy. However, the doctor had already told Quarmy that Jenny was


    fine.


    Quarmy had disappeared during this period of time, and he didn''t even call Jenny. Jenny was


    extremely angry. Now that she heard what Lassie said, she immediately cheered up and felt better.


    Sure enough, Quarmy came to the hospital to see her in the afternoon. When Jenny saw her son, she


    couldn''t help crying. "Quarmy, where have you been? My whole body is in pain these days. How can


    you do this to me? You don''t even want your mother for a woman?" "Mom, what are you talking about?


    I went to find a doctor for Coco." Quarmy looked at his mother.


    "How is Coco?" Jenny wiped her tears.


    "He''s fine. The doctor asked him to take medicine first." Quarmy answered. "Mom, I just asked the


    doctor. He said that you could be discharged. I''ll hire two cares to take care of you at home."


    Jenny had wanted to show how painful she felt in front of her son, but her son had already known she


    was fine. She blushed and was speechless for a moment. Quarmy quickly asked two professional


    cares to take Jenny home.


    Jenny felt much better after seeing Quarmy. She kept asking about Coco on the way home. Quarmy


    knew that his mother was not a bad person, so he showed her the photos of him ying with Coco.


    Seeing Coco''s cute face, Jenny couldn''t help smiling. If only her grandson could be with her every day!


    She asked Quarmy, "Quarmy, can you bring Coco home?"


    "No." Quarmy refused tly.


    "Why not? Coco is my grandson. Why can''t I see him?"


    "Mom, do you think he will be willing to see you after you treated him like that?"


    Thinking of the child''s resistance to her, Jenny was a little discouraged. She muttered, "It''s all Monica''s


    fault. If it weren''t for her, would I have had a bad rtionship with my grandson?"


    "Don''t me Monica. Monica is not as bad as you think. She said that as long as Coco was cured, she


    would let Coco call me Dad. Wouldn''t it be easy for you to see your grandson then?"


    "Did she really say that?" Jenny doubted. "Son, did she lie to you on purpose?"


    "Is there a need for her to lie to me?"


    "It''s hard to say. I can''t trust her. If I hadn''t sue her for intentional injuryst time and restricted her to


    leave, maybe she would have taken the child abroad and married Leon."


    Quarmy didn''t say anything. Jenny was right. Thinking of this, Quarmy felt a little upset.


    "Let me tell you, I won''t stop her marrying Leon, but I can''t let my grandson call someone else Dad."


    Jenny rambled.


    Quarmy was a little annoyed. "The best way to prevent your grandson from calling another man Dad to


    let Monica marry me, or you can''t stop it."


    "Who said that? Can''t I fight for the right to raise the child?" Jenny did not feel that it was inappropriate


    at all.


    Quarmy couldn''t help sneering, "Mom, do you think you have the ability topete with Monica?"


    "Why not?"


    "First of all, Monica has suffered so much for Coco and Coco has his own choice. Besides, Mayor Jane


    is Monica''s father. Do you think he will allow you to take Monica''s son away?"


    Jenny was suddenly speechless. How could she forget that Monica''s biological father was Zoe?


    Indeed, as long as Zoe was around, she would never get the right to raise Coco. However, she really


    didn''t want to let Monica be with Quarmy. Monica''s status was different now, so she would definitely not


    be as obedient as she used to be. What if they quarreled again? the Huo Family was would no longer


    be peaceful.


    After Jenny was discharged, Eva came to visit her. Soon, they talked about Madrigal.


    Eva told Jenny that Madrigal was indeed pregnant. Jenny was naturally happy, because it was a good


    thing for the Huo Family. However, Quarmy might not think so. Therefore, she should make a n first.


    She told Eva to keep it a secret and remind Madrigal to take good care of herself. When the time came,


    she would tell her son. As long as Madrigal married Quarmy, it was useless for Monica to do anything.


    This time, Eva came here to see Jenny''s attitude. Seeing that Jenny was very happy about Madrigal''s


    pregnancy, Eva was relieved. Then, Jenny mentioned the sports meeting project again.


    The bidding of the sports meeting had entered the countdown, and Jenny had been paying attention to


    it. She heard that Rnd had a Chinese- Western design team. Although Zewail was Quarmy''s chief


    designer, Jenny was still not at ease. There were always idents. Last time, her son and she thought


    they could get the city construction project, but in the end, they lost to Rnd. This time she wouldn''t


    be careless again.


    Although it was Quarmy who took care of thepany, how could Jenny stay out of it? If her son could


    win the bid, the future of VSUS would be limitless. On the contrary, if Queen got the project, it would


    have a great impact on VSUS. It was not a good thing for the development of VSUS.


    Previously, Eva had said that Yale would find a way to help Quarmy. Thinking of this, Jenny asked Eva


    how Yale would help Quarmy.


    Eva said, "Yale has helped Quarmy get a drawing for the stadium. With this, VSUS can definitely win


    the bid."


    As she spoke, she took out the drawing she got from Francisco. Jenny was overjoyed. She thanked


    Eva and promised that as long as VSUS won the bid, she would treat Madrigal well.


    With Jenny''s guarantee, Eva happily left. Jenny was also very happy. She immediately called her son


    and asked him to go home quickly, saying that there was something important to discuss with him.


    After Quarmy returned home, Jenny handed the design drawing to Quarmy. Quarmy was shocked


    when he saw the design. He took the drawing and hurried back to thepany. He immediately called


    the designers for a meeting. The chief designer Zewail was surprised to see the design. "Mr. Huo,


    where did you get it? It is very simr to Francisco''s style."


    "I think so too." Quarmy agreed. "I''m just not sure!"


    "I''m sure it''s Francisco''s work." Zewail looked at it carefully for a while before he confirmed. "I heard


    that he lived in seclusion in Jiang City. I didn''t expect that he would give us such a big gift. With this


    drawing, we will definitely win."


    Quarmy was sure that he would get this project, while Rnd had already known the result of this


    bidding.


    On the day of the bidding, after discussion, the experts decided that VSUS''s design of the main


    stadium was better than Queen''s.


    However, Queen''s design of secondary venue and supporting facilities was better than VSUS''s. In the


    end, everyone unanimously decided that the main venue would be built by VSUS, while the secondary


    venue and supporting facilities would be built by Queen.


    It was a win-win situation. Rnd was not surprised at all, and Quarmy did not have much objection to


    this result. However, Jenny was not satisfied at all. She really didn''t want to share this project with


    Queen.


    For this reason, she called Eva again. Eva was also shocked. The drawing she gave Jenny was her


    brother''s work. Technically, VSUS would definitely win the bid. Why did that happen? Was it caused by


    Zoe?


    Although Eva was sure what caused this, in order to stop Jenny from nagging, she immediately put the


    me on Zoe. Jenny had no other way. After venting her anger for a while, she hung up the phone.


    Because the sports meeting project was owned by twopanies, Rnd and Quarmy set up an


    alliedpany. Both Quarmy and Rnd were the bosses of thispany.


    After a few days of cooperation, the alliedpany held a press conference. Rnd and Quarmy,


    dressed in suits, handsomely appeared at the press conference. They answered the reporter''s


    questions one by one.


    The two people who used to be rivals now became partners.Those who didn''t know would think that


    they had a good rtionship with each other.


    Looking at the two smiling men on TV, Monica sighed. Who said that only actors were good at acting?


    The two men were much better than actors.


    In the evening, thepanies of both sides naturally had to have a celebration party. Rnd showed


    up for a while and then asked Beck to host the event for him. Then he went back to his vi in the


    western suburbs.


    In the vi, Xanjer had already made dinner with the help of Summer. They were waiting for Rnd.

    When Rnd came in, everyone congratted him, including Coco.


    Rnd happily held Coco and kissed him passionately. Summer and Xanjer put the dishes on the


    table. Rnd opened his wine cer with a smile and took out the best wine he treasured. For a


    moment, the fragrance of wine pervaded the air, and the whole room was filled withughter.


    Monica couldn''t drink because she was pregnant. Summer and Xanjer apanied Rnd to drink a


    lot. They were all slightly drunk. In the end, Rnd didn''t leave because he drunk too much.


    Mandy had been back in Jiang City for a while. Since she came back, she had just seen Rnd once.


    However, Rnd went to see Monica every day. Mandy was very angry when she knew that Rnd


    had allowed Monica to live in his vi. As Rnd''s fiancee, she could only live in a hotel. How could


    she be happy?


    Although she was angry, she did not forget the three-year agreement. Rnd had said that she had no


    right to interfere in his affairs. If she couldn''t tolerate it, he wouldn''t marry her.


    Therefore, Mandy dared not act rashly, for fear of offending Rnd. The sess of this bidding was a


    great thing for Queen. Since she was in Jiang City, shouldn''t Rnd take her to the celebration party?


    However, she was wrong. She waited from morning to night, but there was no phone call from Rnd.


    Mandy was so angry that she went to the celebration party alone. When she arrived, she found that


    Rnd was not here.


    Mandy knew where Rnd had gone. She drove angrily to his vi. Looking at the bright lights in the


    vi and listening to theughtering from inside, Mandy was furious. Monica was really shameless.


    She was going to marry Leon, but she still lived in Rnd''s ce. It was intolerable. Mandy thought


    that she had to talk to Monica.


    The next day, Mandy visited Monica. Monica politely invited Mandy to sit down and poured tea for her.


    Mandy did not appreciate it and said coldly, "Monica, you seem to be enjoying living in my fiance''s


    house. Does my silly brother know it?"


    "Yes. It''s him who asked Rnd to take care of us." Monica answered.


    "I don''t think he meant what he said." Mandy smiled yfully. "Monica, you used to be Rnd''s


    girlfriend, do you really think my brother will let Rnd take care of you?"


    "Miss Gu, I''ve been Rnd''s normal friend since you got engaged to him. I know Leon well. I think he


    knows that I won''t betray him."


    "Really? I have to remind you. Monica, you''re just an outsider to Rnd, and I''m his fiancee. You live in


    his vi while I can only live in a hotel. Do you think it''s appropriate?"


    "I''m sorry. I''ll move out right now." Monica finally understood what Mandy meant. Mandy wanted to


    drive her away. Since Mandy was now the fiancee of Rnd, she did have the right to do so. Monica


    chose to give in.


    "Move out? Where can you go? Will you tell Rnd that I want to drive you away?" Mandy didn''t


    believe that Monica would really move out.


    "Miss Gu, don''t worry. I won''t." Monica thought for a moment and said, "I will move back to my uncle''s


    ce."


    "Monica, your uncle''s ce is also Rnd''s house. Don''t you know?" Mandy sneered. "Rnd really


    did a lot for you. He deliberately rent his house to you. You are so smart. I don''t believe that you don''t


    know it at all."


    "Miss Gu, you misunderstood. I really don''t know that. Since that''s the case, I''ll go find another house."


    Monica naturally did not expect that Rnd would do this for her. She felt very sorry.


    "Monica, you don''t need to do so. If you want me to rest assured, you can live with another man."


    "Another man?"


    "I mean Quarmy. Quarmy has so many houses in Jiang City, and Coco is his son. If you live with


    Quarmy, everything will be fine. Isn''t it a good thing for everyone?"


    "That''s impossible!" Monica refused. "Quarmy and I are divorced. I won''t have anything to do with him."


    "Monica, you are really amazing. Quarmy is your ex-husband and Coco''s father. It''s normal for him to


    support you and the child. But why did you refuse to ept his help all the time? Today I finally figured


    it out."


    "What do you mean?"


    "Monica, you are really greedy. You want to be loved by Quarmy, Leon and Rnd at the same time.


    Do you feel very proud that they are willing to do anything for you?"


    "How can you, a well- educateddy, say that? I wonder how your parents educated you!" Monica''s


    face changed and she spoke unkindly. She had been putting up with Mandy for Leon''s sake. Now that


    Mandy wanted to provoke her, she naturally did not have to be polite.


    "I don''t think there''s anything wrong with my family education. Miss Mo, if you have a good family


    education, please don''t live in my fiance''s house shamelessly, and don''t expect to marry my brother


    with someone else''s child. My brother is not stupid." Mandy started being sarcastic.


    "You..." Monica was so angry that her face turned red. "Get out!"


    "Monica, don''t be angry. I''m telling you, your best choice now is to marry Quarmy. Anyway, you already


    have two children. It''s better to let them live with their biological father."


    "Mom!" A childish voice suddenly sounded. Coco stood at the door of his room, looking at Monica and


    Mandy with his innocent eyes. "Aren''t you going to marry Uncle Gu? Why did she mention Uncle Huo?"


    Monica looked at her son and was stunned. Wasn''t Coco sleeping? When did he wake up? He must


    have heard the conversation between her and Mandy clearly just now. D*mned Mandy!


    "Because Uncle Huo is your biological father." Mandy answered viciously.


    "Mandy!" Monica raised her voice. She really wanted to tear up Mandy''s mouth.


    "Uncle Huo is my father? Is this true?" Coco looked at Monica. He only believed in his mother''s words.


    "Of course it''s true. Your mom''s unborn child is also Uncle Huo''s."


    "Mandy, get out of here! Otherwise, I won''t let you go." Monica reached out to push Mandy. Seeing


    Monica was angry, Mandy did not dare to stay any longer, so she left. Coco stood at the door of the


    room and cried.


    Monica hurriedly hugged him to coax him. "Be good, Coco. Don''t cry."


    "Mom, is Uncle Huo really my dad?" Coco stubbornly wanted to know the answer. Monica sighed and


    nodded. "Why doesn''t he want us? I saw with my own eyes that Dad was engaged to another woman


    on TV." "Dad has his reasons." Monica exined, but her exnation waspletely meaningless for


    a child.


    Coco saw with his own eyes that Quarmy and Madrigal were engaged. At that time, Quarmy was just


    an uncle to him, so he was not so sad but just disappointed.


    Now that he knew Quarmy was his dad, and he could not ept this fact at all. He was already very


    obedient and his mother was also very good. Why did his father not want him and his mother?


    Coco couldn''t understand it at all. He was very sad. "Mom, Dad is a bad guy. He''s a bad guy!"


    "No... Dad is not a bad guy." Monica exined.


    "He is! He is the baddest guy! I hate him!" This was the first time Monica heard Coco mention the word


    "hate", and the man he hated was his biological father. She didn''t know what to say. She just held Coco


    tofort him.


    At this time, Quarmy came. During this period, he would take time to see Coco every day. This day, he


    brought a lot of Coco''s favorite food and toys. When he opened the door, he saw Monica holding crying


    Coco. He was very surprised. "What happened?"


    Seeing Quarmy, Coco got rid of Monica and ran to him. Quarmy reached out to hug him, but Coco


    grabbed Quarmy''s hand and bit it fiercely, "Bad guy, you are a bad guy! I don''t want to see you again!"


    Quarmy bared his teeth in pain. Coco turned around and ran back to his room. After a while, he rushed


    out with a toy gun in his hand. He pointed his gun at Quarmy, and his face was full of anger. "Liar, get


    out of my house, or I''ll beat you to death!"


    Quarmy looked at Coco, who was so excited. He could feel Coco''s anger. Children didn''t know how to


    hide their feelings. He had a feeling that if Coco had had a real gun, he would have shoot him.


    "What happened?" Quarmy looked at Monica again. Monica smiled bitterly. "Mandy just came here and


    made a scene. She told Coco your rtionship with him."


    Quarmy was stunned. He had thought about letting Coco knew the truth countless times. He had


    always believed that Coco would be happy, but he was wrong. There was no longer trust in his son''s


    clear eyes. Instead, they were filled with anger. No matter how Monica persuaded Coco, Coco refused


    to put down his gun. He still pointed the toy gun straight at Quarmy. "Liar, you big liar, get out of here.


    We don''t want to see you!"


    Quarmy felt as if his heart had been cut by a knife after hearing that. His son hated him. If those things


    had not happened, his son would have been by his side and admired him. Their rtionship should


    have been very good. However, things went contrary to his wishes. For Coco, he was an unforgivable


    bad guy.


    "Quarmy, can you go back first?" Coco refused to listen to her, so she had to persuade Quarmy to


    leave. However, Quarmy stood still and stared at Coco. He really wanted to apologize to Coco, but at


    this moment, he didn''t know what to say.


    How could he make up for what he did to his child? How could he let Coco forgive him? "God, help me!


    Please!" Quarmy had never been so helpless and pitiful.
