《Every Breath You Take》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 "I''m pregnant." The woman said softly, and added softly when Monica was stunned, "It''s brother- iw''s." "Nonsense!" "I''m not talking nonsense. I have been pregnant for three months!" The woman handed her a medical examination report. Monica''s brain buzzed when she saw Quarmy Huo''s signature on the report. At this moment, the world was upside down. She wasn''t hearing what the woman was talking about, she just knew that anger was sweeping through her body. "B*tch! You shameless b*tches!" She pped her. "You are as shameless as your mother. You are both b*tch!" "What are you doing?" An angry voice sounded, and her mother-inw suddenly appeared at the door. "What am I doing? Because of your son! He has a child with this b*tch behind my back!" Monica shouted uncontrobly at her mother-inw. "B*tch! They are all b*tch!" "How dare you shout at me? Are you scolding me?" Her mother-inw widened her eyes in disbelief. Monica did not answer and pped the woman in front of her twice. The woman leaned back and fell to the ground. Looking at the blood oozing from the woman''s calves on the ground, her mother- in-w was dumbfounded. Her hard work, her grandson! p! p! She rushed up to Monica with two ps in her anger. "You vicious woman, you can''t even allow others to have children even when you aren''t able to have one?" Monica felt a buzz in her head, and her face suddenly became indifferent. There was a ckening in front of her. She could not help but fall back, and she hit the corner angle of the cab which was exceedingly painful. She struggled to hold the cab so that she would not fall down. The door was pushed open and a cold voice sounded. "What''s going on?" "Quarmy! You came back just in time. Hurry up and take Madrigal to the hospital. This evil woman is murdering my grandson! Hurry up!" Quarmy Huo''s eyes nced over indifferently. When he saw the blood under Madrigal Jane''s body, his eyes tightened suddenly. He rushed over and picked up Madrigal Jane on the ground and rushed out like a gust of wind. Monica felt desperate. Quarmy Huo didn''t even look at her from the moment he entered the door. Her body which was leaning against the cab finally slipped down. When she fell down her hand felt the sticky liquid. She knew that it was blood! Monica did not know when it was raining outside the window, the sound of rustling rain woke her out of the dream. The bedroom was dark and she reached out subconsciously. Then sheughed at herself slightly. The smile drew on the nerves on her face and both sides of her face were burning with pain. The pain made herpletely awake. A beam of light illuminated the bedroom window and the sound of the car came. He was finally willing toe back! Monica jumped out of bed with bare feet and walked to the window. She opened the curtain and saw a few cars driving into the vi in the misty rain. A bad feeling urred but she could not make sure yet. A man opened the door respectfully with an opening umbre. Monica saw the familiar figureing out of Maybach. He paused in the yard as if he knew Monica was standing behind the window and looked up at the window where Monica was standing. Even through the window, Monica could feel his icy eyes. She cracked a smile and slowly walked out of the bedroom in her pajamas, with untied hair and bare feet. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. The lights in the vi instantly lit up, her slovenly figure with bruises on the face reflected clearly on the glistening floor. Monica was frightened by her own appearance too. She moved downstairs. When she made the turn at the corner of the stairs, Quarmy Huo and a man had already sat down on the sofa in the living room. A weird smile emerged from the corner of Monica''s mouth and she strode towards them. Seeing Monica walking over with bare feet, Quarmy Huo finally had a slight fluctuation on his expressionless face. He held the sofa tighter. Seeing Monica sitting opposite Quarmy Huo, the man beside him took out a document and pushed it over. "Madam, this is the divorce paper that Mr. Huo asked me to draft, please have a look." Monica picked up the agreement from the end table and slowly browsed it. The agreement was very short. Monica''s eyes were set on the agreement of property division which said all property was owned by the man before marriage and was not part of the division. For some reason, her eyes suddenly hurt a little bit, so she blinked her eyes so that they could be wet and slightly relieved of pain. Quarmy Huo''swyer''s sounded very cold. "Have you finished reading? Please sign it after." Thewyer couldn''t wait to hand over a pen to her after saying that, Monica paused and turned to Quarmy Huo who was sitting on the other side. The man had no facial expression but just looking ignorantly straight ahead. Monica took over the pen and signed her crooked name on thest page. Thewyer was relieved after seeing her signed. There was silence. Monica got up and went upstairs. Quarmy Huo, who had been staring at the dining room restaurant silently, nced at her back and then sent a signal to thewyer with a slight movement of his lips. Monica then heard thewyer''s words when she reached the corner of the stairs, "Miss Mo, from tomorrow on, please move out of this vi." "Okay!" She agreed and slowly turned around the corner of the stairs. Thewyer''s voice continued, "All the properties after you married Mr. Huo belongs to him afterward, including the jewelry he bought you." "Okay!" Monica agreed again with no emotions. Her calmnesspletely shocked thewyer. Although she did not own a penny of Huo''s property, the jewelry he gave her was enough for her to spend lifelong. Thewyer did not expect her to give up so readily. Thewyer turned to Quarmy Huo and saw a hint of anxiety in his eyes. Monica finally came to the second floor. She reached out and pushed the door and said, "Please tell your client that I won''t ask for any of his belongings. I will not ask a penny from him and move out tomorrow. In order to be fair, please return my belongings to me as well." Her voice was clear and decisive, and the door was instantly mmed shut behind her after those words. "Mr. Huo... what now?" Thewyer looked at Quarmy Huo, who has remained silent during the whole time. Quarmy Huo sat on the sofa with no focus in his eyes. When thewyer thought he was not going to respond, he suddenly opened his thin lips and said, "Fine!" Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Three years after. At JC International Hotel. Hundreds of meters of red carpet stretched all the way to the road. On both sides of the red carpet were colorful flowers and balloons. Today VSUS would hold its annual meeting here. Speaking of VSUS boss Quarmy Huo in Jiang City, he was truly somebody. He was a real business wizard. It only took him three years to get hispany listed after graduated from university. Since then, Quarmy Huo has made thepany one of the world''srgest grouppanies through a series of acquisitions. In recent years, his momentum had be more and more fierce. This year, he had expanded his business to Europe. Recently, he had just returned from the Arctic Circle. It was said that thepany would start a multi-billion dor project there. If this project went well, Quarmy Huo''s status would be further enhanced. By then, no one in Jiang City should be able topete with him. It was noon, several luxury cars drove slowly toward the hotel. The extended Rolls-Royce in the middle was particrly eye- catching. The crowd stirred when they saw the several 8 on the license te which represented prominent status, "Quarmy Huo... Look, it''s him... Here hees" The journalists waiting outside the hotel all lifted their cameras and started shooting, apart from the journalists, there was a full crowd of people standing on the streets, discussing and longingly to witness the presence of this business genius. The car steadily parked at the door of the hotel. The man in gloves stepped forward respectfully and pulled the car door. The first thing he saw was a pair of shiny leather shoes sticking out of the car and then a pair of slender legs. Quarmy Huo bent over and came out of the car. "God, what a fine look!" Someone in the crowd sighed in awe. "The real one looks much better than the one in the TV and magazines!" The shes were so flickering that people couldn''t open their eyes, but Quarmy Huo walked calmly across the red carpet, leaving admiration and surprise behind him. His secretary, Linda, followed closely with a briefcase and walked through the hotel lobby. Linda rushed a few steps ahead to open the elevator door, and Quarmy Huo stepped into the elevator with those long legs. When the elevator door closed, a purple figure shed through. "Wait a minute!" He said in a hurry, but it was toote. "Boss Huo, what can I do for you?" Linda was surprised. "Forget it, maybe I''m seeing things!" Quarmy Huo closed his eyes. How could a person who hadn''t been heard for three years suddenly appear? He knew very well how much she hated him. Even if she wanted to make an appearance, she would not pick his ownpany that held the annual meeting here. In the lobby of the hotel, Monica was following a young man, carrying a big bag and wearing a pair of ck-framed sses tteringly The man was in a hurry. "What''s my schedule today?" "At 1 pm Mr. Pan will talk to you about cooperation. At three o''clock, you have to go to the nursing home to do charity. Mr. Liu will treat you to a dinner tonight which you have already agreed." Monica looked at the card in her hand. "By the way, Miss Lily wille back tonight..." "You''ll attend the banquet tonight for me!" "Me?" Monica opened her mouth wide with shock, and then immediately shook her head like a rattle drum. "No! Mr. Wang, I can''t!" "Why not?" Rnd Wang turned around and looked at her. He hated women with sses the most, but Leon Gu gave him a woman with sses as his secretary firmly. Even if he could put up with the sses, but what kind of the ck-framed sses was this? Serious, old- fashioned, rigid, and depressed, this was the first impression Rnd Wang had on her. He was already used to be frivolous, suddenly a dull-look woman appeared and this made him extremely ufortable. However, the connection with Leon Gu was so crucial that it was impossible to say no, he had to reluctantly ept it. Although he epted it, it didn''t mean that he would make her get away with it easily. Monica had been given several hard times in just a few months. However, this woman was really tough. No matter how he tortured her, she would not say a word nor However, he was still ufortable. This time, Grandpa asked him to take care of a job in Jiang City. He clearly wanted to discipline him. The first impression was that this woman was a jinx. If she hadn''t feeling down, the people around him would not have a good time either, which was why he brought her back to give a hard time without thinking. Monica was very resistant to returning to Jiang City. "Mr. Wang, can you find someone else to go?" If she agreed toe back with him without hesitation, Rnd Wang might consider letting her go. Since she was so resistant, he might as well make her suffer one more time. Therefore, Monica''s apany to Jiang City was settled. "I''m stiff, dumb, I don''t talk properly and don''t drink... and I''m also ugly." Seeing Rnd Wang staring at Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. her for answers, Monica spat out a dozen of her shorings in one breath. "Finally you have some self- knowledge. But don''t worry. It''s exactly because of your shorings that I let you go. If you''re smarter and prettier, I won''t be willing to send you to those perverts." Monica suddenly got tongue-tied. To stop her from saying more, Rnd Wang added, "Of course, if you don''t want to do it, you can always quit!" Leaving these words behind, he strode out of the hotel. Monica was a bit shocked but quickly ran after him. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 The crowd outside the hotel had not yet dispersed, and they were still talking about the scene just now. Monica trotted all the way to catch up with Rnd Wang. When she heard the name of Quarmy Huo, she subconsciously quickened her pace. Rnd Wang ahead of her suddenly stopped, and Monica inevitably hit his back. This man''s back was like a piece of iron. She felt a sharp pain in her forehead, her nose was sour and ufortable, and she couldn''t help tearing.- "Are you blind when you walk?" Rnd Wang turned around in a hurry and saw the tears in her eyes. He suddenly stopped talking. The girl with sses cried? Rnd Wang was surprised. He had always thought that this woman was tough, worked so hard and so capable of bearing. Seeing the tears in her eyes, his heart softened. "Get in the car!" He opened the car door for her. There was a hint of gentleness in his tone. Monica bent over and got into the car. She touched her forehead. It was still painful, and she didn''t know if she was hurt. Rnd Wang saw what she did. Her forehead turned blue after the collision just now. He suddenly found that the ck-framed girl''s forehead was fair and smooth, which canpete with his new model girlfriend. But this ugly sses covered her fair face. He snorted and said, "I''ll go to the dinner tonight." "Thank you, Mr. Wang!" Monica was so happy that she forgot the pain and had a smile on her face. "What for? I haven''t finished yet!" Rnd Wang stared at her. "You go with me!" "Ah!" The smile on Monica''s face suddenly changed. Looking at her cloudy face, Rnd Wang was in a good mood. He suddenly found himself a little perverted. He never cared about annoying people before, why was he getting addicted to this ckframed nerd these days? Coming out of the nursing home this afternoon, Rnd Wang asked the driver to take them to the mall. As usual, he walked ahead when Monica followed him with a briefcase. The man was handsome and chill, while the woman was in and dull. Such pair of strange Rnd Wang did not care about those eyes but straightly strode to the women''s section. Monica carried a big ck bag and followed him through the top-level famous brands with respect. Finally, Rnd Wang stopped at the counter and pointed at a dress, asking the shop assistant to take it down. "Is this dress good-looking?" "Nice!" Monica answered without thinking. "Try it on!" Rnd Wang ordered. Monica was surprised. "Mr. Wang, my size is different from Miss Lily''s." Lily was a model, who was tall with long legs, while she was petite. Wasn''t it a waste to let her try on her clothes? "Nonsense. Try it, now!" Rnd Wang was unhappy. Monica put down the big ck bag speechlessly, picked up the clothes and went into the fitting room. She hadn''t worn expensive clothes like Chanel for three years. When she put on it again, she couldn''t help feeling touched. Before, Chanel was her first choice. Quarmy Huo had been choosing this brand for her from clothes to perfume. At that time, she thought this was love. Later, she knew how iplete love it was with Chanel. Did Quarmy Huo know from the beginning that their love would not have a happy ending? Monica put on her clothes and walked out of the fitting room withplex feelings. Rnd Wang circled around her and said, "Not bad! I really didn''t expect it!" The clothes Monica put on made Rnd Wang excited for no reason. Clothes really make a man. The ck-framed girl in front of him seemed more and more pleasing, at least when she wore the clothes it looked very lively. "You will wear this dress with me for dinner tonight. By the way, go do your hair and buy contact lens to wear." "No!" Monica refused subconsciously. She had thought that Rnd Wang brought her here to buy clothes for the new mistress who were about to see. Now that she heard him say so, she understood what he meant. He was trying to make her dress up beautifully to apany him to the dinner. "This is work!" Rnd Wang frowned. No woman would refuse the temptation of beauty and luxury. This woman was really obnoxious. "You have to obey me today!" "I''m just a secretary of Mr. Wang. Mr. Gu said that I can refuse the unreasonable thing." "What?" Rnd Wang was furious. It was shocking that buying clothes for her was unreasonable. This woman really pissed people off. "Whatever you want! You don''t have to wear these clothes, but you have to go to the dinner tonight!" After saying that, he stormed away. Monica was relieved and quickly returned to the fitting room to change back. When she came out, she ran into a woman. "Sister?" The uncertain voice was full of surprise. Monica looked over with no facial expression and saw Madrigal Jane and her best friend Nee Xi standing in front of her. "Hey! Isn''t this the ex- Madam Huo? How did she end up like this?" Looking at her old clothes and the dress in her hand, Nee Xi''s face shed a mocking smile and her voice was very mean. Monica ignored her, handed the dress to the shop assistant and turned around to leave. When Rnd Wang asked her toe back, she knew that she would meet these people sooner orter. But she didn''t expect that she would meet them so soon. But so what? She was just a passer-by in her life. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. "How dare she dress like this and try out the clothes here? I don''t know who gave her the courage!" Nee Xi raised her voice. "Or you are just here to satisfy your luxurious imagination?" "Nee!" Madrigal stopped her. "I''m telling the truth. Her life must have been so hard when she was swept out without being given a penny. Look at her clothes. They''re so old and cheap. I really didn''t expect that Monica turned out to be like this!1'' Nee Xi said as she reached out her hand to grab the clothes from the shop assistant. Her long nails scratched the clothes and she screamed, "How did this dress be like this?" "Miss, please wait!" The staff stopped Monica who was ready to leave. "This dress... was damaged by your nails, so..." The staff showed Monica the ce where the skirt was cut. Monica looked at the scratches on the skirt in shock, and saw the malicious smile in Nee Li''s eyes. She understood. "I didn''t do this!" Monica exined. "Only you tried on this dress." "You always ruin things you can''t get. Monica, you are still the same old you." Nee Xi sneered and fueled the fire. Chapter 4 Chapter 4 The dispute here attracted a lot of onlookers, all of whom were well-dressed women or youngdies. Madrigal Jane, Quarmy Huo''s current girlfriend, a woman who could get anything she wanted. This old- fashioned woman was in trouble today.- Monica ignored everyone who was watching the show. All these years'' life had made her grow up. She would no longer be the woman who only hid behind Quarmy Huo to seek protection. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. She pointed at Nee Xi and said, "If I have a good memory, the clothes was touched by her too. Why don''t you doubt her?" Madrigal Jane and Nee Xi were frequent customers to this store. The staff knew who she was, it was impossible that she dared to question her, "Miss, please don''t make things difficult for me." "Difficult?" Monica was so angry that sheughed. In this society, the weak would always be bullied. In the eyes of the staff at the moment, she was the one who could be bullied. She stretched out her hands and said, "Open your eyes and see if my nails can hook up the clothes?" The staff looked at her fingers in surprise. The nails were cut very smooth, even the fool would know that such nails couldn''t break through the clothes at all. Monica looked at Nee Xi sarcastically. Seeing that she was ready to hide her hand, she rushed forward and grabbed her hand. There was even a trace of fiber in Nee Xi''s long nails. "Shall we ask someone to check it out?" Monica looked at Nee Xi sarcastically. "I..." Nee Xi''s face turned a little red. How did Monica be so tough? She had never been so strong even when she was spoiled by Quarmy Huo before. Madrigal Jane, who was standing beside, hastened to ease this situation, "I''ll buy this dress. Let my sister go." "Who is your sister?" Monica looked at Madrigal Jane with a sneer. "My mother only gave birth to me. Please don''t shout crazily." Madrigal Jane was embarrassed. Monica used to satirize her. Now she had be Quarmy Huo''s lover, and she was still so ruthless. Nee Xi couldn''t stand it anymore. Madrigal Jane was her provider, so she would try her best to stand up for her. So she sneered and interrupted, "Who is willing to call a cruel person like your sister? Madrigal is too kind, If it were me, I would p you to death!" As soon as she finished her words, her face was pped heavily. Monica looked at her sarcastically. "I don''t care whose b*tch you are, but as long as you bite me, I will require justice. This p is just a seek of justice for what you framed me!" Nee Xi was so angry that her face turned red. She was about to rush over and fight Monica, Madrigal Jane stopped her and said, "Nee, forget it!" Nee Xi was so angry that she lost her mind. It was not until Madrigal Jane pulled her back that she realized what Monica''s status was. Others may not know but she was all crystal clear as a sycophant of Madrigal Jane. Although Monica had lost Quarmy Huo''s protection, it didn''t mean that she could be easily bullied. She was the apple of Mayor Jane''s eye. Although Monica didn''t want to ept Mayor Jane as her father, Mayor Jane would not give up her daughter. Nee Xi stopped resentfully. Monica sneered and strode away. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Outside the shopping mall, Rnd Wang had already been impatient. When he saw Monica, he red at her and said, "How dare you. Let your boss wait for you!" Monica had just vented her anger and felt much morefortable. Her attitude was very good. "I''m sorry, Mr. Wang, it''s all my fault!" Her attitude was so good that Rnd Wang had no reason to break out, so he had to shut up. Although Rnd Wang didn''t say anything else, he tried another way to punish her. He required Monica to stand at the door when he was eating. The cold appetizers had been served, but the main dishes had not been served yet. It seemed that they were waiting for someone. Until now, Monica had been hungry from a long time ago. Looking at the cold dish, her stomach began growling. Monica licked her lips and swallowed hard. A familiar voice rose. "Mo?" Monica looked over and saw Zoe Jane standing in front of her with surprise. She turned her head indifferently, and the people inside saw Zoe Jane all stood up simultaneously. "Mayor Jane, please!" Zoe Jane ignored the invitation from the people inside and stared at his daughter''s face. He hadn''t seen her for a few years, found that she had lost too much weight. Seeing her face that looked like his N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. ex-wife, he felt sad and reached out to hold Monica''s hand. The host was shocked by Zoe Jane''s action: What''s wrong with Mayor Jane? He touched the assistant''s hand in public. He looked at Rnd Wang and saw that he was not angry at all. Since Mayor Jane was the person who everyone wanted to tter, he suggested, "Mr. Wang, why not let your assistante in for dinner?" Rnd Wang nodded and said, "Monica, since Mr. Pan has suggested,e on in for dinner." With the arrival of Zoe Jane, the waiters went in one by one and began to serve the main course. Monica was, of course, arranged beside Zoe Jane, and she sat down without objection. Monica had suffered a lot when she was kicked out of the Huo family without any money, and her temper had changed a lot. If she had seen Zoe Jane on such an asion before, she would have left with no hesitation. But now she was open-minded, she treated him like a stranger and it was no big deal. Zoe Jane, on the other hand, was overjoyed by the change of his daughter. Since he brought Madrigal Jane and her mother into his house, Monica moved to Jiang City and lived with her uncle Xanjer Mo. She even removed her family name and became the Monica now. Although he kept trying to make up for his daughter through various means, Monica''s attitude toward him had never changed. She had once warned him firmly that she did not want a shameless father like him. If he dared to appear in her life again, she would kill herself! Zoe Jane knew Monica''s character very well. He did not dare to disturb her life since then. From high school to university, Monica had always put her uncle Xanjer Mo''s name in the Father column. She had lived in the Huo family for several years. From her marriage to divorce, the Huo family didn''t even know Monica was the daughter of Mayor Jane. It was exactly because they didn''t know her identity that the Huo family treated her like that and regarded Monica as Cindere who married into a wealthy family. Zoe Jane carefully peeled the shrimp shell and put the shrimp into Monica''s bowl. Monica nced at him and found that Zoe Jane had a few grey hairs on his temples. She was stunned. Zoe Jane was young and handsome in her memory. When did he grow grey hair? Her heart softened. Only when you have children on your own did you realize you should pay your parents back. No matter what, he was still her father. She silently put the shrimp that Zoe Jane peeled into her mouth. Zoe Jane''s face was full of smile, and he was busy picking up other dishes she liked for her. Everyone at the dinner table stared at each other: What was going on? Rnd Wang stared at this scene with his eyes opened wide. "No way, why would this legendary gentleman, Mayor Jane, have such a bad taste that he has a crush on the in girl? Yet Monica didn''t refuse him?" How odd was Monica''s taste! Was she into old guys? His world was turned upside down. He had to talk to Leon Gu about this in case he would be held responsible if anything happened in the future. Chapter 6 Chapter 6 After the dinner finished, Rnd Wang was in a hurry to see his lover but he saw Zoe Jane kept pestering Monica, asking to send her home. So he came forward with a fake smile and said, "I appreciated Mayor Jane for your kindness, but my assistant still had work to do tonight." Zoe Jane noticed Rnd Wang''s despise clearly, he knew that Rnd Wang must have misunderstood his rtionship with Monica. He felt bitter, and he had to give up, saying, "Mr. Wang if you need a favour you can alwayse to me." For others, it was such a good thing that they couldn''t get even if they tried. However, Rnd Wang responded coldly and quickly put Monica into the car. He hurriedly ordered the driver to drive. Seeing him like this, Zoe Jane smiled: this guy was interesting. Monica lived in her uncle''s house. As Rnd Wang was in a hurry to see his new lover after sending Monica home, he asked the driver to drive fast. Without street lights, the alley was dark. Finally, they arrived at Monica''s house. After leaving Monica there, the driver turned around and left. Rnd Wang kept pushing him to drive faster. The driver was sweating all over. When he turned around the corner, he didn''t step on the brake and identally ran into a car in the hall. Rnd Wang was on the phone with his new lover. Without noticing, his head hit the back of the chair and fainted instantly. The driver''s face was also covered with blood, but he wiped the blood on his face and cried in a trembling voice, "Mr. Wang... Young Master... Are you okay?" With no response, he was scared to death. He opened the door and shouted, "Help! Help!" The car door in front of them open immediately, and Quarmy Huo came out of the car. His forehead N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. was scratched by the crash, but he ignored the injury on his forehead and checked the te of the car. When he saw that the te was damagedpletely, he suddenly turned around to stare at the driver who was screaming for help. The driver was scared by the coldness in his eyes and took a step back. After their eyes met, he recognized the man in front of him,"Mr. Huo!" Quarmy Huo looked at the driver but didn''t recall anything. The driver immediately exined, "I am the driver of the Wang family. Mr. Huo, please help our young master!" The driver of the Wang family? The young master? So the man in the car is Rnd Wang?" Quarmy Huo immediately opened the door and dragged Rnd Wang out. Seeing that the driver was helpless, he ordered, "Get a car, now!" There happened to be a car stopped by the driver, and they worked together to get Rnd Wang into the car. The driver ignored the bleeding wound on his head and stared at Rnd Wang who was unconscious. He cried there over and over again, "It''s over! It''s over! I''m done! I''m done!" Quarmy Huo didn''t say anything. He knew that the Wang family was invading Jiang City, but he didn''t expect that the second son, Rnd Wang, would take the lead. This yboy was a failure of the Wang family. He indulged himself in disgusting orgies of eating and drinking and passed the nights in dicing and cardying and other frivolous pastimes. It seemed that he had been hollowed out by women, so he fainted so easily. The car arrived at the hospital. Rnd Wang was sent to the emergency room. The driver was waiting at the door in a daze. Someone persuaded him to bind the wound, but he wasn''t willing to move. Quarmy Huo looked at the driver with sympathy. The Wang family''s family rules were far beyond strict. This driver would definitely lose his job after this ident. While thinking, his phone rang. Madrigal Jane''s soft voice rose, "Quarmy, where are you?" "In the hospital." "Are you OK?" Madrigal Jane''s voice was a little nervous. "Something trivial happened," he answered. "Do you want me toe over?" "No! Nothing serious. Gotta go." Quarmy Huo''s voice was very gentle but also firm, and there was no emotion in his eyes. Madrigal Jane still had unfinished things to say but had to swallow her words back. Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Hung up the phone, Madrigal Jane went downstairs restlessly. Yale Guo was watching TV in the living room, "Are you going out?" "Mom, Quarmy is in the hospital now." "What happened?" Yale Guo became nervous, too. "I don''t know. He wouldn''t tell me even when I asked him. I''m a little worried." "Madrigal, don''t push too hard. This will push him away." Yale Guo persuaded. "I know, but I''m just worried." Madrigal Jane hesitated for a moment. "Mom, I saw Monica today!" "Where did you see her?" Yale Guo was shocked. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. "She doesn''t look very good in the mall. I''m very worried." Madrigal Jane sighed. "Are you worried that they will get back together? Don''t worry, Monica is very vengeful. Quarmy Huo''s abandoning her and not giving her a penny has already destroyed her heart. She will never have anything to do with him again." Yale Guo wanted tofort her daughter, "I think that Quarmy has been getting better and better with you recently, and you are going to get engaged soon. She can''t make any trouble." "Mom, why does shee back now? I can''t help but feel something sneaky." "Didn''t you say that she was not doing well? Maybe she couldn''t make ends meet, even if she wanted to get back together with him, Aunt Huo would not agree. Don''t worry." As the mother and daughter were discussion, the car''s voice came from the door. "Your dad is back!" Yale Guo immediately stood up and walked out. Madrigal Jane followed her to the door. Zoe Jane came in with a smile. Seeing Madrigal Jane, he reached out and touched her head. "It''s rare to see you at home." "Dad!" Madrigal Jane smiled coyly. Yale Guo took the briefcase from Zoe Jane skillfully. "Did you drink today?" Zoe Jane nodded. "A little!" "I''ll make tea for you!" Put the briefcase on the sofa, Yale Guo immediately made a cup of tea for Zoe Jane. Zoe Jane took a sip of the tea and gave a sign to Yale Guo and Madrigal Jane to sit down. "I saw Moni today." "Really?" Yale Guo smiled gently. "Where did you see her?" "During dinner." Zoe Jane leaned back. "It seems that Moni doesn''t hate me so much. She actually finished the food I gave her." Yale Guo''s smile did not change. "In that case, why don''t you bring her home?" "This can''t be rushed! We have to take it slow!" Zoe Jane sighed. "Yale, if Moni is willing toe back, you have to be kind to her. Even if she gives you a hard time, you have to endure it." "I know." "Madrigal." Zoe Jane looked at Madrigal Jane. "You should also treat Moni better. If she is angry, let her let it out. You can''t take anything from her if she wants it." "Dad, don''t worry," Madrigal Jane replied. Yale Guo nced at her daughter and looked at her husband. "Then what about Madrigal and Quarmy''s engagement ceremony?" "I''ll talk about it with Madam Huo!" Zoe Jane answered. Yale Guo breathed an obvious sigh of relief. "I''m just worried that Moni will feel ufortable." "It''s not Madrigal''s fault. It''s all my fault actually." Zoe Jane sighed. "But I have to make it clear to you that I''ll leave all the property of my family to Moni after Madrigal and Quarmy get married, as "I am not with you for those properties, and Madrigal will neverpete with Moni." Yale Guo promised ignorantly. His family''s property was nothingpared with Quarmy Huo''s. Only a fool like Monica would give up Quarmy Huo. "Dad, I only want Qi Ming, and I don''t want anything else." Madrigal Jane also made a statement. Zoe Jane was very satisfied with the understanding of his wife and daughter. "I failed to satisfy you!" "As long as dad and sister are happy, it''s worth for me to do anything." Madrigal Jane looked like she was sacrificing her whole life for fairness. Zoe Jane was even more moved. "During this period of time, I have more free time. You can inform Quarmy to set up a meeting for both sides of the parents, and discuss the engagement!" Yale Guo and her daughter looked at each other, their eyes were full ofcency. Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Monica did not hear the phone ringing at all in the bathroom. When she opened the bathroom door and came out, her mobile phone was automatically turned off. Thinking that Rnd Wang was currently having a beauty in his arms, he would not ask her to run the errands during this time, so she casually plugged in the phone, wiped her hair, andy down on the bed. Today, she was very tired after a whole day''s work with Rnd Wang. She fell asleep the moment her head touched the pillow. The next morning, her uncle Xanjer Mo called her outside the door, "Moni, time for breakfast!" Monica got up and quickly washed up. After finished a bowl of porridge, she hurried out. Not until she got to the bus station outside, did she turn on the phone and find that there were countless missed calls on the phone. She called back immediately. The driverined, "Miss Mo, I called you countless times yesterday. Why didn''t you answer it?" "My phone is out of power that time," she exined. "Come to the hospital quickly. Young Master had a car identst night." "Is it serious?" Monica was shocked. "The doctor said no big deal, but you''d bettere here as soon as possible!" After getting the name of the hospital, Monica stopped a car and drove straight to the hospital. She pushed the door open of Rnd Wang''s patient room out of breath and saw a piece of gauze wrapped around Rnd Wang''s head, who was staring at her fiercely. "Mr. Wang, are you alright?" "You think I look alright?" Rnd Wang stared at her. "You''re a trouble maker! Monica, you''re a trouble maker!" Rnd Wang was in a very bad mood. If it weren''t for sending Monica home, he wouldn''t have crashed into Quarmy Huo. He wouldn''t have lied in this damned hospital and missed the chance to have awesome sex with Lily again and again. Rnd Wang had been fond of Lily for a long time. Lily was always holding it back, leaving him hanging there and longing for it. This time it was a perfect chance, but he never expected something like this to happen. Because he was lying in the hospital and didn''t go to the hotel on time. This morning, Lily rushed to another show. Now that a good opportunity had been wasted, Rnd Wang was full of anger. No wonder he got angry at Monica. Monica lowered her head and listened to Rnd Wang''s scolding obediently. She wouldn''t read into it anyway, it couldn''t hurt her. Afterining for a while, Rnd Wang was almost calm. "Why are you still standing there? I''m hungry, go prepare something for me. Make sure it is something I like." Monica grabbed the bag and rushed out of the door to prepare food for Rnd Wang. Rnd Wang was extremely picky. He didn''t eat too spicy food. He didn''t eat too mild or greasy food. In short, everything had toe under a certain amount of degree. Monica had a deep understanding of his taste during the past few months around him. After she went out, she took a taxi and rushed straight to her destination. Half an hourter, she finally brought the food that Rnd Wang liked back to the hospital. Rnd Wang stared at her and was still unhappy. This woman must be a piece of bad luck for him. Because of her, he ended up like this. He had to punish her. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Monica of course did not know what Rnd Wang was thinking. She set up the medical table in the Prince Cheng''s ward and put the food she bought on the table. "Mr. Wang, please." But Rnd Wang looked at her and said, "I can''t move my hand, feed me!" Monica was stunned. It was strange for her to feed a man. Forget it, he got injured because of her, she had to force herself to do so. Rnd Wang thought she would refuse, but he didn''t expect that she would ept. In the beginning, he felt it bizarre, butter, he found it enjoyable. The woman''s hands were fair and tender, and her fingers were slender. Her body smelt good, and he didn''t know what perfume she was wearing. At such a close distance, he suddenly found that her eyes behind sses were quite good- looking and her eyshes were pretty long. What''s more, her nose and mouth were also very good-looking, which made Rnd Wang excited. Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Quarmy Huo pushed the door of Rnd Wang''s room open and saw a familiar figure. He was stunned as if he had been electrocuted. He thought about many scenes when he saw Monica again, but he never expected a scene like this, a man was staring at her with admiration, and she was feeding him with tableware. Rnd Wang had seen countless beauties, so he was very sensitive to women''s facial features. Before he didn''t look carefully, Monica always lowered her head with a timid look on her face, and he hated the woman with sses. Monica wore a pair of ck-framed sses first, so he was not interested in looking at her at all. Looking at her from such a close distance, it seemed that he suddenly found a new world. Leon Gu, the b*stard, was so naughty that he messed her up before he sent a stunning beauty to him. Rnd Wang cursed Leon Gu in his heart, but he didn''t want to take eyes off Monica''s face at all. He suddenly wanted to see how she look after took off her sses, so he blew at Monica''s sses. Although she was not wearing a pair of shortsighted sses, she felt ufortable in the mist. Monica was a little angry. "What are you doing?" This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. She put down the spoon in her hand and put down her sses. Rnd Wang looked as if he had seen a prey. She was a stunning beauty without any makeup. Rnd Wang was drooling. "Moni, you''re so beautiful!" Monica was stunned and quickly put on the sses back to her face. Rnd Wang, the big pervert, was unwilling to ept it. "Moni, don''t wear sses anymore. I like it when you don''t wear sses." This was an obvious flirt. Monica was a little angry. Although she was unhappy, Rnd Wang was the one who paid for her money. She did not dare to scold him loudly. Her voice was gentle, so it sounded like a spoiled child. "Do you want to eat or not? I''ll quit if you don''t eat?" "Eat! How can I not eat?" Rnd Wang opened his mouth and stared at Monica with a look of anthomaniac. Quarmy Huo, standing at the door, saw the scene in front of him and it was a simply torture. He could not bear it and turned around and strode away. He already knew that this woman was coldblooded. What else could he hope for? Quarmy Huo started the car and left the hospital quickly. On the way, he received a phone call from Madrigal Jane. "Quarmy Huo, when are you free?" "For what?" His voice was not gentle at all, but angry. "Dad wants to see Aunt Sun." Madrigal Jane hesitated. "What''s wrong with Quarmy Huo today?" "I''m free tonight," Quarmy Huo replied. Madrigal Jane thought that the meeting would not happen. She didn''t expect Quarmy Huo to be so straightforward. She was overjoyed and said, "I''ll tell dad immediately." Rnd Wang didn''t have any problems, but he liked to lie in the hospital and be served by Monica. He wasn''t willing to leave the hospital no matter what. Since he found Monica''s advantages, he was interested in Monica. In the past, his principle was that a rabbit did not eat grass by its nest, but he did not eat grass by its nest because it was not tasty. Now that he found that the girl was such a match for him, he would not let her go. At first, Monica really thought his hand was injured, so she fed him and served Rnd Wang to have breakfast. In order to prevent Rnd Wang from making a scene for her to feed him, Monica quickly hired a senior security nurse for him. In order to cater to the taste of Rnd Wang, she spent a lot of money to hire a young and beautiful girl and then left the ward time for Rnd Wang and the beautiful girl. However, Rnd Wang did not ept it as usual. After Monica returned home, he made countless phone calls to her and forced her to go to the hospital. Monica rushed to the hospital with the principle of taking money and help people eliminate disasters. She didn''t expect that the psycho Rnd Wang would ask her to stay in the hospital to apany him. The main reason why Monica could stay with him was that he didn''t like her at all. Now that Rnd Wang wanted to flirt with her, how could she bear it? So she gave him a p when Rnd Wang''s hand was touching hers. Chapter 10 Chapter 10 "You hit me?" Rnd Wang did not expect that Monica, who had always been obsequious, dared to hit him. "You listen, I have tolerated you for a long time. Just because you have tons of money, it means nothing to me!" Monica was angry and her voice was not as gentle as usual. "You want to get fired?" There had never been a woman who dared to do this to him. Rnd was also furious, "Believe it or not, I will fire you!" "I quit. Remember, it''s not you who fired me, it''s me who fired you!" After saying this, she threw the mobile phone that Rnd Wang had assigned to her in front of him, and then left the ward with her head held high. Seeing that she wasn''t being gentle and obsequious as usual, Rnd Wang was shocked and forgot to speak. He couldn''t think straight until Monica''s footsteps disappeared. He touched his burning face and smiled. "Little wild cat, I like it!" In the dark night, a ck car parked in the open space next to the alley of the tube- shaped apartment. The car was noble and luxurious, with smooth lines. The residents of the tube- shaped apartment would be very familiar with it. In the past two years, it was often seen here. The driver was a young man, who was deep and introverted. He looked noble and extraordinary. Every time he came in the evening, and left in thete night. At first, people were very surprised at its appearance, but then they often saw it and it became a A No.8 bus arrived the bus stop, and the door opened. Monica got off the bus with a big briefcase and walked toward the alley. The alley entrance was dark, but she did not stop at all. She continued to stride through the alley entrance. She had lived here for so many years, and even with her eyes closed, she could feel her way home. Quarmy Huo was wearing a ck suit under the big tree in the open space downstairs of the tubeshaped apartment building. He was tall and handsome. He stood quietly under the tree, staring at a window upstairs. The window was old and the wall was mottled, but he stared at it like he was haunted, as if there were the most precious things there. The sound of footsteps was hurried, and it sounded so clear in the silent night. Quarmy Huo quickly turned his head and saw a slender figure in his sight. He stood in the dark for a long time and got used to the night vision. Seeing the figure, his hand tightened, and his face showed something like pleasant surprise. Monica did not notice a person standing under the tree at all. She walked out of the alley and went straight to the tube-shaped apartment building. The street lights of the tube-shaped apartment building were broken, but it did not prevent Monica from going upstairs. Probably because it wasck of refurbishment for a long time, the old wooden stairs were creaking from her footsteps. It was like the sound of heaven in Quarmy Huo''s ears. Soon, Monica walked over the stairs and came to her door. She took out the key and opened the door. She turned on the light, and the dim incandescentmp was turned on. Quarmy Huo watched as she walked to the window and pulled the curtains, and the slender figure walked around in the room. He greedily stared at the figure in the window, his eyes were full of burning light. It had been three years! Finally, he received her message, but he did not have the joy of reunion after a long separation. He saw her serving another man. Quarmy Huo once thought that he was dreaming, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he knew that everything was true. A veryplicated feeling welled up in his heart. He didn''t know if he was happy or sad. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Half an hourter, the lights were off, and there was no light in the tube-shaped apartment. Quarmy Huo stood there for a while, and then slowly turned around, Monica! Long time no see! Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Lying in bed, Monica soon fell asleep! p! A clear p in the face, apanied by a woman''s high- pitched scolding. "Devious woman! Only because you can''t have children so you won''t even allow others to have them?" Blood! Blood on the ground! The bright red stimted her eyes. If she remembered correctly, she didn''t push her, how did she fall down? What was with the blood? As her back hurt, a figure pushed the door open and walked in. His face was indifferent and his voice was cold. "What happened?" She had been staring at him since he entered the door, but his eyes were not on her at all. As the man reached out and picked up the woman on the ground, she finally kept that sentence "I didn''t do it" to herself. Indescribable despair arose in her heart. This was her Mr.Right! Was this the man that she always thought she could rely on for her whole life? Her heart was torn apart and she was in great pain! The real pain made Monica open her eyes! She reached out and touched her forehead, all sweats! For three years, this nightmare had been tangling around her! When could she forget all this? She turned on the light, put clothes on and went to the kitchen to pour a ss of water, but she didn''t feel sleepy anymore after drinking. The ringtone of the mobile phone broke the silence of the night. Monica picked up in surprise, and a childish voice came. "Mom, I miss you!" "Baby, I miss you too!" "When will youe back?" This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Wait for mom to have time..." She only said half a sentence, and suddenly found that she was already an unemployed from now on, and she had plenty of time every day. "Mother, have you found father?" "Not yet!" Monica sighed deeply. When she came back, Coco held her leg and refused her to leave. She had to lie to him. that she came back to find his father. Hearing that she was looking for his father, so he stopped making noise. She was not apetent mother. How could she lie to the child? In the child''s heart, he hoped to have a father so much. She had once thought about finding a father for Coco, but it was not easy for a single woman to find a boyfriend with a child. When she came back this time, she had thought of going on a blind date after everything was settled, but she didn''t expect that such a thing would happen. "Mom, I''m not in a hurry. You can look for him slowly!" Cocoforted her. Monica was very touched. Who said that the child didn''t know adults'' thoughts when he was young? After she hesitated for so long, he knew that she was in a dilemma. She said in a choked voice, "Baby, you have to listen to Uncle Gu!" "I''m very obedient. Uncle Gu told me not to eat ice cream, and I didn''t eat it." "You''re really mom''s good boy!" Leon Gu''s voice came. "Coco, it''s about time. Let mom rest!" "But I still want to say something to mom!" Coco retorted in a low voice. "Who told mom that he is obedient just now?" Leon Gu reminded. "Ok! Mom, I will be very obedient. Take your time to find dad. Don''t worry!" Coco said in an adult tone. "Okay, mom is not in a hurry to look for Coco. Mom will definitely find a father that Coco likes!" Monica followed his words. "Goodbye, mom!" The phone returned to Leon Gu''s hand, and his voice was low. "Monica, did we wake you up?" "No, I just woke up to drink some water." "Don''t give yourself too much pressure." Leon Guforted her. "Come back if you can''t take the pressure. My home always wees you at any time." "I know." Monica sighed deeply. "Leon Gu..." "What''s wrong?" She was going to tell him about how she fired Rnd Wang. After thinking for a while, she decided not to tell him for the time being. "Nothing. Thank you for your hard work!" Chapter 12 Chapter 12 After hanging up the phone, Monica fell asleep. Because there was no phone call from Rnd Wang, and she was too sleepy, she slept at noon. After getting up, she saw her uncle Xanjer Mo sitting on the sofa with a worried look. "Moni, we may N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. have to move!" "Why?" "I just saw an announcement posted in the hall saying that VSUS had bought this ce to build arge shopping mall." Uncle sighed. "Now the housing price is so high, and our house is small. The cost of demolition is not enough to buy a new house." Monica lowered her head. "Uncle, I''m sorry! It''s all my fault." When she was in college, she swore to give a good life for her uncle, but she couldn''t stop Quarmy Huo from pursuing her and ending up entering the marriage with him. In the eyes of the members of the Huo family, she was a true Cindere. She had no family background or money. Other than her face, there was nothing else worth mentioning. Quarmy Huo''s mother, Jenny Sun, had been unhappy about her and Quarmy Huo''s affairs. Before they got married, the parents of the two sides had said something unpleasant. Although her uncle was poor, he was tough. In the past few years when she married Quarmy Huo, he did not take the initiative to visit the Huo family, let alone ask her for a penny. Later, when she got divorced, she went out of her house without a penny. In the end, she returned to Jiang City with nothing but to go to her uncle. Her uncle was fired a few days after she returned to Jiang City. It never rains, but it pours. Her uncle was not well-educated, and he was not in good health. At that time, Monica was so angry that she was looking for a job everywhere, but nopany was willing to ept her. Even if she went to a restaurant to do a wash pot, no one was willing to ept her. Life became more and more difficult without a source of ie. Her uncle''s low amount of social security was not enough for the live expense, and then so many things happened... Fortunately, she had Leon Gu... Thinking of Leon Gu, she sighed. She knew very well how much Leon Gu had done for her and Leon Gu was also very clear about how he felt for her. However, she was even more clear about how high standard of Gu family. The Gu family wouldn''t even ept her when she wasn''t divorced, let alone she was a divorced woman with a kid. It was even more impossible for her to dream about it. Olddy Gu was right. As the eldest son of the Gu family, the burden on his shoulders was exceedingly heavy. There were so many descendants of the Gu family staring at the Gu family covetously. She could not be selfish to drag Leon Gu down. Leon Gu was already in his thirties and should not waste his youth for a woman like her. The Gu family''s big business was still waiting for him to take over. She had owed Leon Gu a lot. She could not owe him anymore. She had to rely on herself. Only when she became strong could Leon Gu rest assured. The job of Rnd Wang was introduced by Leon Gu. To be honest, she actually disliked Rnd Wang very much, but she had no choice. Although Rnd Wang was a yboy, he was generous and gave her a high sry. She just had to bear him a little. Monica had nned to wait for a few years until she had enough to cover her own expense. However, she did not expect Rnd Wang could be interested in her. Being targeted by a psycho like Rnd Wang was not easy to get rid of. She had to quit this job. After a casual meal, Monica left the room with her backpack on her shoulders. She had to find a job to solve the urgent matter first. When she got out of the hall, she saw a busing to the station from afar. She ran to it with all her strength. With a sharp braking sound, a red Toyota stopped slightly away from her. Monica was shocked and subconsciously stopped. The other party was also scared. She opened the window and shouted at her rudely, "Are you blind when you walk?" "I''m sorry!" Monica apologized, when they looked at each other. The other said in surprise, "Monica!" Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Monica also recognized her. "Summer?" Summer opened the car door and grabbed Monica''s hand tightly as if she would fly away soon. "Where have you been?" "I... it''s a long story!" Monica smiled bitterly. "That bastard Quarmy Huo didn''t want you. Don''t you still have me? Monica, you are not much of a friend." Summer pulled her into the car. "Come to my ce. Let''s have a good talk!" Summer''s temper was still the same as before. Back then, their rtionship at school was the best. Later, Summer chose to go abroad to continue her studies, and she chose to get married. Monica disappeared quietly after divorcing Quarmy Huo. After returning home, Summer had been inquiring about her whereabouts. She had asked many people but nobody knew, but she didn''t expect to meet her by chance this time. Summer was now a well-known director of the TV station. When she heard that Monica was looking for a job, her eyes lit up. "Moni, I am going to n a blind date reality show. We need female guests in the early stage. Do you want to pretend to be a female guest?" "I can''t!" Monica shook her head. "Why not? You''re so beautiful. If you stand on the stage, you''ll attract a lot of people''s attention. The female guests are not for free. I tell you that I''ve hired several sponsorships for this program. The pay is very high and it''ll be paid every day. The most important thing is that it''s easy to earn money. You''ll know when I bring the materials back to you." Monica was tempted by her words. "Can I?" "Sure!" Summer excitedly took out the phone and dialled, "I''ve found a female guest. You can find another five." Summer was always so straightforward. She invited Monica to dinner, then filled Monica with all kinds of information about the reality show, and asked her to go back and study it carefully. On the way back, Monica was still confused. The recording reward that Summer said attracted her. She also said that if the ratings were good, she would get more money. If so, was she going to make a fortune? It sounded that tens of thousands of dors had nothing to do with getting rich, but it was really a good thing for Monica. She worked for Rnd Wang for more than three months. Although she took a lot of money, she also spent a lot. She was reluctant to spend it, but she couldn''t let Coco live a poor life. Coco was now in a nursing house, so the cost was really not low. She couldn''t always rely on Leon Gu. If being the special guest of this reality show could really make money, she had to take it. When the car stopped at the entrance of the hall, Monica hurriedly got off the car with the documents. She was stopped by someone when she arrived at the entrance of the hall. Rnd Wang was still wearing gauze on his head and putting his hand in his trouser pocket. He looked at her with a teasing look. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Monica red at him and walked away. Rnd Wang grabbed her hand and said, "Moni!" Monica felt goosebumps all over her body. She stared at the Rnd Wang. "Let go!" Monica, who had taken off her sses, made Rnd Wang''s heart itch. He was really blind. Such a beautiful woman had been with him for three months, but he had not been aware of it at all. Monica could be described as an absolute beauty in the world. It was okay if he didn''t know, but after he knew how could he let go of her. "I could let go, only if you go with me!" "I won''t go back with you!" Monica tried hard to get rid of his hand, but Rnd Wang grasped her tightly. She was angry. "If you don''t let me go, I will call for help!" Seeing that they were quarreling, Rnd Wang smiled and said, "My girlfriend has a bad temper and I''mforting her." This scoundrel, when did she be his girlfriend? Monica was so angry that she opened her mouth and spat at the hand of Rnd Wang. Rnd Wang was in pain. He let go of her and Monica ran away. Rnd Wang blew at his bleeding hand. "This woman is so cruel!" Chapter 14 Chapter 14 At the intersection opposite the hall, there was a Bentley. When Noah parked the car, he saw the scene, but he was not sure. "Mr. Huo, the woman in front seems to be Madam?" Quarmy Huo, who was sitting in the back seat, had already seen that scene. When he heard this, he snorted with a livid face. "There''s no madam for a long time!" Seeing that his face was not nice, Noah did not dare to speak again. He immediately opened the door and got out, then helped Quarmy Huo open the door. Quarmy Huo looked at the busy room in front of him and was in a trance. Noah''s voice sounded behind him. "The contract has been signed. Someone has prepared to remove it. It is estimated that it will be over in a week." "A week?" Quarmy Huo murmured, "It''s so fast!" Noah looked at him strangely. "Isn''t it a good thing? Mr. Huo doesn''t look so happy." Quarmy Huo stood at the entrance of the alley and watched for a while. Then he walked into a snack shop not far away. The owner of the snack shop saw him and Noahing in and weed him warmly. "Want something to eat?" "The noodles." Quarmy Huo replied in short. The boss agreed and went to prepare. Noah looked at the boss strangely. Didn''t he just eat? Why did hee here to eat noodles? The noodles were quickly served, which was spicy noodles. Quarmy Huo picked up the chopsticks and picked up the noodles to put them into his mouth. The noodles were nothing but spicy. He stuck out his tongue and a picture appeared in front of him. In the streets of the streets in summer, a woman dressed in in clothes was sitting there. The woman''s long hair was tied behind her head with the rubber tendons, and she was very focused on eating noodles. Because it was too hot, and the noodles she ate were the kind of noodles with a lot of chilli, she was so hot that her head was full of sweat. She stopped wiping the sweat with a napkin and continued to eat the noodles, just like it was the most delicious food in the world. Quarmy Huo was attracted by it after all the elegant women that he saw. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. He stopped the car and watched her for a long time until she finished eating and got up to leave. The second time they met was at A University. At that time, he was invited to attend the school''s alumni gathering, but he saw her on the boulevard in the school. She was still dressed in very ordinary and simple clothes with a long ponytail. Her young and beautiful face attracted the attention of countless people. He heard someone ask her who she is, her teacher''s answer, Leon Gu''s girlfriend Monica. It turned out that the famous flower had someone to take care of. The men felt a little sorry for her, while the women were a little jealous. Who was Leon Gu? He was the young master of the Gu family. The business of the Gu family spread all over the country and even abroad. As the young master of the Gu family, it was with no doubt that he was extremely popr. The important thing was that Leon Gu was not an ordinary rich second generation. He was young and handsome, knowledgeable and kept a low profile. If he had not donated all thepany''s ie to the disaster area, no one would have known his real identity. After an interview on TV, dozens of media reporters in A City were reporting, and then his real identity emerged. When they knew that the handsome and gentle low-key man next to him was actually the future sessor of the Gu family, everyone''s eyes widened. "No wonder the rich are so stingy. How could Leon Gu let his girlfriend dress like this with so much money?" A man snorted disdainfully. Quarmy Huo looked at her sympathetically. He heard from his mother Jenny Sun that Leon Gu liked a girl who worked in a restaurant. However, no one in the Gu family agreed and they forced them to break up. At that time, he felt that it was strange. Leon Gu was not an easy person. Was there anything extraordinary about that woman? Only now did he know that the so-called waitress was her! Chapter 15 Chapter 15 The third time he saw her was in a restaurant where she worked. She held a te and served dishes, but was hit by a tough woman. Hot soup was poured on her body. The woman cursed. She did not refute at all and just apologized. Quarmy Huo knew the tough woman. She was a servant of the Gu family. It seemed that the Gu family failed to persuade Leon Gu and then changed to attack her. The Gu family was too vicious. He was angry and went forward to fight for her. Finally, the agile and fierce woman left in disgrace. She thanked him with gratitude. When Quarmy Huo saw that her hand had been scalded, he was very This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. distressed. He proposed to take her to treat the wound, but she said it didn''t matter. She wasn''t hurt. Later, he learned that she earned her tuition fees and living expenses by herself. It was not because she didn''t ask for leave, but because she didn''t want to spend money. Because of the Gu family''s disturbance, she and Leon Gu did not end up together. Later, he stood beside her and witnessed her suffering. From the first day he was with her, he swore in his heart that he would give her the best. In fact, he had been trying his best to give her the best things. Other than the fact that his mother was hard to deal with, he had never let her suffer any grievance when she married him. Even if it was a piece of iron, it should have been warmed up by his enthusiasm. But how did she treat him? Both his mouth and heart were burning. Quarmy Huo dropped his chopsticks and stood up. He quickly walked out of the snack shop. Noah took out the money and put it on the table and went to keep up with him. Back in the car outside, Quarmy Huo grabbed the water and took a few sips. The phone rang happy tones. He answered, "Quarmy, I have something to tell you." Madrigal Jane''s gentle voice came over. Quarmy Huo''s voice was also gentle, but there was no emotion in his eyes. "I''ll be right there." Half an hourter, the car stopped at the gate of the cafe. Quarmy Huo got off the car and went into the cafe. Madrigal Jane''s long hair wasbed into a high ponytail with a hairpin. She was wearing a pink skirt and waiting for her in a chair. Seeing her tall ponytail, Quarmy Huo suddenly felt a twinge in his heart. He strode over and said in a surprisingly gentle voice, "How long have you been waiting?" "It''s not a long time. I just arrived," Madrigal Jane replied. Then she asked him very thoughtfully, "Still Lan Shan, right?" Quarmy Huo nodded. "What is it?" "I saw Monica." Madrigal Jane bit her lip. "She seems that she''s living poorly!" "Really?" Quarmy Huo''s voice was very calm, which indicated that he had seen Monica. Madrigal Jane had mixed feelings. Monica''s return had always been pressing in her heart. She had been thinking at home for a long time, and finally decided to tell Quarmy Huo the news of Monica''s return. Now it seemed that this decision was correct. With Quarmy Huo''s ability, it was impossible that he did not know the news of Monica''s return. "Quarmy, shall we help her? She is really poor" "Poor?" Quarmy Huo sneered. "What''s so pitiful about her?" "I don''t know, but I feel bad when I see her like that." Madrigal Jane hesitated. "At that time, she wore a cheap ck- framed sses and wore very old clothes. She was trying clothes in Chanel''s cab. Because she broke her clothes by ident, the businessman grabbed her and asked her to pay for it. Later, I bought it." Quarmy Huo was stunned. "When did this happen?" "Maybe four days ago? I feel ufortable seeing her like this. She must have suffered a lot..." "I have nothing to do with her life. Don''t mention her in front of me in the future." Quarmy Huo interrupted her, "I will send you back!" Chapter 16 Chapter 16 After sending Madrigal Jane home, Quarmy Huo turned the car around without getting off and called Noah on the way, "Check Monica''s rtionship with Rnd Wang!" Madrigal Jane bit her lip and watched him leave without any reluctance. She felt extremely wronged. She had always been his girlfriend. Outsiders had always been envious that she could find such a boyfriend like this. Only she knew what was going on. Quarmy Huo was very gentle and considerate. There was nothing wrong with him, but there was alienation behind his gentleness and consideration. It was difficult for anyone to believe that they had not done anything normal between ordinary couples like holding hands and kissing. In recent years, Quarmy Huo had only stepped into the Jane family a few times. If it weren''t for Jenny Sun, he might not even want to be perfunctory to her. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. However, she really loved him and loved him very much. She fell for him the first time she saw Quarmy Huo. Everything about him was so perfect. It was the standard of her dream Prince Charming. She didn''t dare to desire such a person in the past, but now her status had changed. She was the daughter of the deputy mayor, and she was enough to match his status. Since she returned to Zoe Jane''s side, Yale Guo began to let her change the habits of the past. She was not allowed to make loud noises andugh loudly when eating. However, her habits were developed since childhood. It was not easy to change. Later, Yale Guo reported to thedy ss for her. Under the strict guidance of her teacher, she changed the rude habits of the past. Who said that a princess could not be made? Her words and actions were elegant and noble. Everyone who had seen her said that she was elegant and charming and her mother also said that she was as beautiful as a princess. She always thought that she was qualified for a prince like Quarmy Huo. However, the result was not satisfactory. Quarmy Huo''s attitude towards her was no different from that of any rich girl. She tried hard to please Jenny Sun and tried to get close to him through her. Jenny Sun fancied her because of her unique resources. She thought that she had done at least half of the sess, but she didn''t expect that the final result would be in vain. Quarmy Huo neverid his eyes on her. He only looked at Monica. She thought she was no worse than Monica. She had the aura of a mayor''s daughter that Monica didn''t have. But Quarmy Huo couldn''t see the good in her. He abandoned the princess and chose Cindere. Madrigal Jane was miserably heartbroken. Her mother said that if she wanted what she wanted most, she would fight for the goal no matter what it She seeded. Monica left the house and disappeared without a trace. Quarmy Huo became single again. She knew that Quarmy Huo''s heart was not on her. In order to make his eyes stay on her for a second longer, she had been imitating that woman''s habitual movements. In fact, she hated tob her hair into a ponytail, but in order to cater to him, she always had this hairstyle when she saw him. She wore Chanel''s perfume, clothes, and sachet''s bag... Because of these habits, she became Quarmy Huo''s only woman. He spoke more and more gently to her, and became more and more considerate to her. Her hope was achieving step by step. However, Monica came back at this time. Although Quarmy Huo seemed indifferent to Monica''s return, she knew that it was definitely not like this actually. If he was really over Monica, he would not resist mentioning Monica. His abnormality showed that Monica was still the one he could not touch in his heart. It seemed that she still had a lot to do. Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Monica returned home, took out the information that Summer had given her and began to read carefully. This blind date reality show was simr to a very popr blind date program in China. It would not disturb the single man on the American blind date program. 25 women of different professions and age stood on the stage, but they all appeared with masks. They exined their hobbies, characters, beliefs, and opinions on love and aristocratic families one by one. Then the male guests sitting below made the first choice to the female guests on the stage. If the female guests were interested in the male guests below they would asked the male guests three questions, if the male guests'' answers made the female guests satisfied, they could take off their masks for the next round. On the contrary, they did not need to take off their masks. Monica finally understood why Summer said that it was easy money. She was just an ordinary person. Naturally, she would not be interested in the male guests under the stage. Naturally, she did not need to take off her mask. It seemed that she had no choice but to earn the money. She picked up the phone and called Summer. "I''ve read the information." "How is it? Is it easy to earn money?" "It looks good!" "It doesn''t only look good, it''s really good. The money is there for you to take, you can earn the first-stage money first. If you get popr, you can earn more." Summer was full of confidence. "I tell you, my sponsorship is one of the bestpanies. By the way, Quarmy Huo has agreed to sponsor it. You and Huo have been together for years, so you should know him very well. It''s impossible for him not to make money." This was the truth. Quarmy Huo had a good eye for opportunities to make money. However, Monica This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. was hesitant after hearing that it was the VSUS''s sponsorship. She didn''t want to have anything to do with Quarmy Huo at all. Naturally, Monica''s mind was guessed by Summer. "Don''t worry, Quarmy Huo will not be free to follow such a program." Summer was right. She was poor now. Why didn''t she take this opportunity? She made up her mind and said, "Summer, I''ll take this show!" "That''s right." It did not ur to Summer that she would agree so readily. "Come here and sign the contract first tomorrow." This matter was settled. The next morning, Monica rushed to the TV station to sign the contract. The first part of the reality show blind date program was to record 20 rounds. She calcted that if there was no ident, she could make a fortune. At that time, the demolition fee was enough to buy a small house. Monica felt a little relieved. She went back and told her uncle about this. Her uncle was also very happy. Finally, he didn''t have to worry about the house. He added dishes for dinner and was eating happily. The door was pped loudly. Monica opened the door and saw Rnd Wang standing at the door. "What are you doing here?" She looked unhappy. "Is this how you treat guests?" Rnd Wang stared at her. "Of course I won''t treat a guest like this, but I don''t seem to be ready to treat you as a guest." Monica sneered. "If you let me in, I''m your guest." Rnd Wang was very cheeky. "Rnd Wang, what do you want?" "Nothing, just to see why my special assistant skipped work." "I''m saying it again, I am no longer your special assistant!" Monica shouted angrily. "It''s useless that you say it. It''s useful only if I say it." "What do you mean?" "Monica we have a contract." "What contract?" Monica was confused. "A life-and-death contract!" Rnd Wang squinted, looking confident. Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Monica was stunned. How could she not remember that she had signed a contract with Rnd Wang? Rnd Wang reminded slowly, "Legal Chen asked you to sign it that day." After his reminder, Monica, remembered that she did sign a contract. Because it was Leon Gu who introduced her, she greatly rxed her vignce and signed it without looking at the contract. At that time, she signed the contract and Legal Chen gave her a copy. The contract was now ced on Leon Gu''s side. Monica''s heart was alerted when she saw Rnd Wang''s malicious look. "Will there be N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. any problem with the contract?" "Rnd Wang, what was written on the contract?" "Nothing. It''s just that you can''t leave for no reason within three years. Otherwise, you have to pay the penalty." Monica was relieved to hear his words. It should be a normal job contract, not a life-and-death contract. She was relieved and sneered. "Isn''t sex harassment enough for me to quit?" "What''s the evidence?" Rnd Wang winked at her. Monica had nothing to say for a moment. At that time, Rnd Wang just touched her hand. She really had no way to find the evidence. Seeing that she could not say anything, Rnd Wang smiled and said, "Special assistant Mo, since you don''t have other things to do, pleasee to thepany tomorrow. Don''t let me wait for a long time. By the way, I''ll remind you that the contract you signed is not an ordinary contract. There is also a saying in the contract that if you disobey the orders of your superiors and are passive and slight, you will pay 10 times the annual sry of the construction fee." "Bastard!" Monica squeezed out those words from between her teeth. Rnd Wang smiled. He did not know why when he saw Monica''s fierce look at him, not only was he not angry, but he also felt itchy in his heart. He really wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her on her small in face. However, it was not the time to think about it. The kiss could not be rushed, so he had to get her back first. As long as she went back obediently, there would be plenty of time for him to do it, and the kiss was just around the corner. Rnd Wang whistled and left the alley with a smile. At the entrance of the alley, he met Quarmy Huo and Noah. He took the initiative to say hello, "Mr. Huo!" When Quarmy Huo saw him, he thought of Monica''s feeding him that day and felt disgusted. He made a fake smile and said, "Mr. Wang, what are you doing here?" "My girlfriend is here," Rnd Wang bragged. Quarmy Huo could not bear his casual words. Rnd Wang''s yboy name was so well-known that people were used to seeing him changing different women. Monica was really shameless to be with such a yboy. "Mr. Wang has a special taste." He said in a sinister tone. After being bitten by Monica yesterday, Rnd Wang also saw his car. He thought Quarmy Huo meant that he was bitten. "I have no choice, I just like chicks that give you excitement!" It was full of provocation in Quarmy Huo''s ears. "People who know the real situation will think Mr. Wang is back to lead thepany, people who don''t understand the situation will think that Mr. Wange back to y with woman." Rnd Wang was still not angry. " taking care of both my career and the women is always the principle of my life." To Quarmy Huo it was like a punch in the cotton. Although he didn''t respond, he was flustered. What was so good about Wang? He was just handsome and would make people happy. He sneered in his heart, "Woman, you don''t know what''s good for you, you will cry so much in the future!" Quarmy Huo left with a cold face. Rnd Wang looked at his back. He had never had any contact with Quarmy Huo before. Did this man became a gun that fires everything today? When he came here, Grandpa said that Quarmy Huo was one of a kind. He said that when he was angry but he would not show it on his face, bullshit! Looking at the way he looked just now, he had no manners at all. He understood very well that the reason why he did this to him was that he knew that he was going topete with him for business. It was not certain who would be the winner of the business, but it was certain that he would not let Quarmy Huo rest at ease. Rnd Wang sneered, Quarmy Huo, let''s wait and see! Chapter 19 Chapter 19 The next morning, Monica appeared in Rnd Wang''s office wearing ck-framed sses and old- fashioned clothes. Rnd Wang looked at her from top to bottom for a while. "Moni, you waste such a good figure of you!" Monica ignored him and made him tea and put it on his desk as usual. Then she began to look at the Rnd Wang''s work schedule of today. Rnd Wang squinted his eyes and took a sip of tea. He exhaled a long breath and said, "I always think the tea you made is the best. There''s a saying that it feels like three years after a day''s separation. Without seeing you for two days. I can''t do this job anymore." Monica lowered her head and looked down, but did not say anything. Rnd Wang talked to himself for a long time, but he did not get her answer. He also felt bored, so he looked down at the document in front of him. It was finally noon, and it was Rnd Wang''s lunchtime. He used to ignore her, but today he changed the rule and ordered Monica to have lunch with him. Monica didn''t want to eat with him at all, but there was no reason to object. Rnd Wang took her to XM Restaurant, which used to be the ce where she and Quarmy Huo often came to eat. Seeing this familiar yet strange ce, Monica felt uneasy, but she couldn''t let Rnd Wang change to another one, so she suppressed the ufortable feeling and went into the restaurant with Rnd Wang. Rnd Wang pulled out a chair for her very gentlemanly. When she sat down, he told her, "It''s said that the dishes in this restaurant are the best in Jiang City till now. I''ve eaten them that day and they tasted good, so I brought you here to have a taste." Monica didn''t say anything. The dishes cooked by the chef of XM Restaurant were indeed top-notch. After they sat down, Rnd Wang ordered the specialty dishes of XM Restaurant, French fried goose liver, French snail, ck pepper red wine steak. As soon as he ordered the meal, his phone rang. Fie took the phone and answered it. Monica felt much morefortable without the annoying Rnd Wang by her side. She looked around and saw Madrigal Jane. Madrigal Jane was wearing a white dress, sitting at a ce not far away from her. It seemed that she was waiting for someone. Seeing her noble and elegant look, Monica remembered how she and Yale Guo looked like when they had just arrived at the Jane family. A sneer appeared on Monica''s lips. Talking about a squirrel changed into a phoenix. She looked back and saw a tall and straight figure entering the restaurant. Quarmy Fluo was really romantic. Fie used to like to apany her here for dinner, but now he liked to apany his new lover here for dinner. Different people lived in the same ce. Didn''t he feel ufortable? But thinking about his worries was really unnecessary. For a man like him, women were like clothes, so how could he feel ufortable? She didn''t want Quarmy Huo to see her, so she changed her seat so that she could turn her back to This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. them. After Rnd Wang answered the phone, he was a little confused to see her change her position, but he didn''t say anything and sat in the position where Monica just sat. When they sat down, he saw Quarmy Huo and Madrigal Jane. "I didn''t expect Quarmy Huo toe here for lunch" Monica nodded, "Is Mr. Wang very familiar with him?" "I just knew him," Rnd Wang answered. "Last time I had a car ident with him. I don''t know why he went to that damn ce in the middle of the night." After saying that, he suddenly remembered that this ce was where Monica lived. He immediately put on a ttering smile and said, "I made a slip of the tongue. Moni, don''t mind." Quarmy Huo suddenly looked in their direction. He recognized the woman with her back to him with only one nce. When he saw Rnd Wang''s ttering smile at Monica, his heart stopped and the smile on his face faded a little. Chapter 20 Chapter 20 On the way back, Quarmy Huo leaned against the back seat with his eyes closed. It seemed that only he himself knew that there was no rest at all. His mind was in a mess. It had been three years. The person who had disappeared for three years suddenly came back. It didn''t surprise him, but more troubles surrounded him. Where had she been since she disappeared for three years? How did she and Rnd Wang get involved in each other''s lives? He couldn''t help but think of the morning three years ago. Three years ago, when he opened the door of the vi in the morning, he found that it was very quiet in the house. He stood there for a while in the living room and went upstairs with heavy footsteps. When he opened the door of the bedroom, he found that the person who should be there wasn''t inside. He guessed that she must have gone to buy some food, so he went in and sat on the bed, quietly waiting for her toe back. It had been two hours, there was a supermarket near the vi. It wouldn''t take her long to buy vegetables, until then did he realize that something was wrong, so he took out his mobile phone and dialed her number. The phone rang very clearly in the drawer of the bedside table. He was stunned for a moment, then turned out of the bedroom and went straight to the study room. There was no one in the study room, and he went to check all the guest rooms, but there was no one in the guest room. Quarmy Huo panicked. He ran around upstairs and downstairs, and finally returned to the bedroom. He opened the door of the wardrobe, and the room was neatly packed with clothes. Quarmy Huo took out all the clothes in the wardrobe and threw them on the ground. He found that there was a set of red dress missed. Xanjer Mo bought this set of clothes for Monica when they got married. At that time, he said it was too old-fashioned and didn''t let Monica wear it. The clothes were kept in the wardrobe and never moved. Now there was only this set of clothes missing in the wardrobe. What did it mean? He rushed to the bedside and opened the bedside table. Except for Monica''s certificate, everything else was there. Quarmy Huo''s head had sweat dripping down. He looked at the room nkly, hoping that he was not dreaming. Suddenly, he saw two pieces of paper on the dresser. He rushed over and picked them up. There were delicate handwriting on the paper and ssified the names of the jewelry. At the bottom of the paper, there was also a sentence, "All the jewelry belongs to the original owner. Please sign it. In addition, if you can send the divorce certificate and the ring I bought to Xanjer Mo, thank you!" The familiar handwriting was so ironic Quarmy Huo''s eyes. He pulled open the drawer of the dressing table, and there were all kinds of boxes in He was very familiar with those boxes. They contained the jewelry he personally selected for her. He could remember all the styles of these jewelry and the specific date they were given to her. Quarmy Huo nkly opened a jewelry box on the top and found that there was the wedding ring he bought for her. They bought each other''s wedding rings. She once said that she would buy a wedding ring for him with her own savings and firmly trap him for the rest of her life. He remembered what she said at that time, "you are not allowed to take it down after wearing it. You have to wear it for the rest of your life!" The vows of the past seemed to be still in his ears, as if they would be together forever! Ah! It turned out that vows were all deceptive. In only five years, their love hade to an end. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Quarmy Huo jumped up wildly and swept all the jewelry boxes in the drawer to the ground. The things in the vi did not decrease at all, including the underwear and jewelry. Monica was wearing the red dress Xanjer Mo bought for her and left without a word. She left the house with nothing! As expected, she did not bring anything with her! Monica was too cruel! There was a hole in his heart, and blood came out of it. Chapter 21 Chapter 21 After eating with Monica, he was not ready to go back to thepany. He took Monica to the top floor to take a sightseeing elevator to see the scenery. In the end, Monica couldn''t help reminding him that he would have a meeting in the afternoon, so Rnd Wang returned to thepany with her. Rnd Wang''s meeting only ended in 30 minutes. When he returned to the office, he sat down on the boss'' chair and asked Monica to pour him some water. After drinking a ss of water, Rnd Wang casually turned over the documents on the table. These documents were just sent by Beck Xi. Rnd Wang only nced roughly, and suddenly he lost his temper and pushed all the documents to the ground. Monica silently picked up the document, arranged it, and then continued to put it in front of Rnd Wang. Rnd Wang looked at Monica in deep thoughts and said, "Moni, are you born and bred in Jane City?" "Yes!" Monica replied. Monica thought he would ask something, but she did not expect that he immediately changed the topic. "What schedule do I have today?" "You have an appointment with Jee He of the City Construction Bureau at night," Monica answered. Rnd Wang nodded, and his eyes were a little gloomy. It was said that Jee He of the City Construction Bureau was a tough job. As long as he nailed him, everything would be easy to handle. However, Quarmy Huo must have thought of the same thing. The most important thing was that Quarmy Huo had one more advantage than him, which was Zoe Jane. With Zoe Jane''s words, his chances of winning were not high. This was a little tricky! Monica nced at Rnd Wang and found that this yboy had a rare serious look on his face. It seemed that this yboy was in trouble. It was just that she didn''t know what kind of trouble it was. Although she was a special assistant, she was not that kind of special assistant. She was only responsible for reminding Rnd Wang of his daily work schedule, serving him tea, preparing food, clothing, amodation, and business, just like a nanny. Rnd Wang discussed work with another special assistant Beck Xi. Although Rnd Wang did not ask her to avoid, every time she saw Beck Xi open the door, she would quit and give the space to them. Leon Gu said very clearly when she came here that she was only responsible for daily life. She should not question anything else. Beck Xi and Prince Chen closed the door for the whole afternoon. It was not until they got off work that the door opened. Monica picked up the bag and said goodbye to Rnd Wang, ready to leave. But she didn''t expect that Rnd Wang stopped her. "Beck Xi has something to do. You go with me tonight." Rnd Wang was treating at the best hotel in Jane City. Monica followed him and found that he had found a few beautiful chicks to apany him from nowhere. The girls took turns to persuade him to drink, and the leaders ate happily. After dinner, he didn''t stop, and then he turned to Jiang City''s biggest nightclub, midsummer Zhaoge. Rnd Wang took action and asked all the bestdies in the midsummer Zhaoge toe. The private room was bustling with people. The bottles of wine were opened, and Beck Xi also came. Rnd Wang had just drunk a little too much at the dinner table, and now Beck Xi started to persuade him to drink. The night shop was different from the hotel, but the people in the hotel were still sanctimonious. When they arrived at the night shop, they removed their disguises. Seeing someone push the Miss down on the sofa, Monica got up and went outside. Compared with the lively private room, it was much quieter outside. Monica took herself to stay away from the private room. She leaned against the wall, took off her sses and rubbed her eyes. In a sh, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. "Beauty!" Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Monica was shocked and looked at the man who was gasping at her. The man was drunk and went to the bathroom to vomit. When he came out, she saw a figure standing against the wall in the hallway and didn''t care much. But when she walked by, Monica suddenly took off her sses. He nced at her and found that she was a beautiful woman. So his lust was aroused. Monica ignored him. She put on her sses and was about to leave, but the man was entangled with her and was about to kiss her. Monica raised her hand and pped him. Chapter 22 Chapter 22 "You dare to hit me?" The man''s eyes were burning with anger as she pped the man. He happened to meet two men rushing over. "Mr. He! Are you okay?" The man did not answer and pointed at Monica fiercely. "Take this woman to the room!" "Mr. He, she is not from the flourishing age!" One of the men nced at Monica and answered. "I don''t care if she''s from the flourishing age. Take her there." The two men didn''t dare to talk anymore. They grabbed Monica and left. "Help!" Monica was covered by the two men as soon as she shouted out. She struggled desperately, but there were two strong men''s opponents. They were soon dragged into the room. After putting her on the ground, the two men closed the door of the room and blocked the door. Mr. He stared at Monica with a gloomy face. "What do you want to do?" Monica heard her voice shaking. "No one has ever dared to hit me. You are the first one." Mr. He took a step forward, and Monica took a step back. Soon her back hit the wall, and there was no way back. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. "Don''t mess around!" "I will mess around. What do you dare to do?" Mr. He reached out and grabbed Monica''s cor. With a sudden pull, her clothes were torn open. Monica reached out to protect the torn clothes, but the man came over and pushed her on the sofa. When Monica was about to get up, the man had already rushed over. The mouth with the smell of beer leaned over and kissed her. Monica tried her best to avoid his kiss. "Pervert!" She struggled desperately, which aroused the man''s beast nature. He held Monica with one leg, and his hand stretched out to tear her clothes. With another tearing sound, Monica''s clothes were torn by him, revealing her snow-white skin. The man''s eyes shed with lust, and his big hand continued to tear her clothes without stopping. Monica knew that she also had the idea of desperate fighting in this disaster. She stretched out her hand to grab the man''s face. The man did not expect her to be so brave. There were already five bloody wounds on her face. He was so angry that he pped Monica with his hand. Monica felt dizzy and there was a bloody smell at the corner of her mouth. The man suddenly let her go and said to the two men standing at the door, "You two take turns to solve her!" As soon as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a cold voice sounded, "Mr. He is in a good mood!" The voice was so familiar. Monica looked at the door in a daze. Quarmy Huo stood at the door in ck with a cold expression. Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Her blurred vision gradually became clear, and there was a cold smile on his familiar face. He looked at everything in front of him with no emotion in his eyes. Monica closed her eyes painfully. She would rather get humiliated than let this man see her in such a mess. "Mr. Huo!" There was a fawning smile on Mr. He''s face. "How did I startle you?" "This is my territory!" Quarmy Huo said lightly, "Don''t you owe me an exnation for causing trouble in my territory?" Quarmy Huo was cold-tempered and never liked meddling in other people''s business. He had insulted other women in front of him before, but he didn''t see him care. How did he think about it today? Did he know this woman? Mr. He subconsciously looked at Monica. "Mr. Huo knows her?" "No, I don''t!" A cold voice said. Mr. He breathed a sigh of relief. "This woman dares to hit me as if she doesn''t know what''s good for her. I have to teach her a lesson!" "It''s none of my business, but don''t make trouble in my territory!" Quarmy Huo said seriously. Mr. He could hear the hostility in his tone. Although he was domineering, he knew that he could not provoke Quarmy Huo. So he red at Monica unwillingly. "I''ll spare you today. Next time you run into me again, I''ll teach you a lesson!" This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Mr. He and his two subordinates left with curses. Quarmy Huo looked at Monica, whose clothes were in disarray, expressionlessly. "Mr. He has already let you go. What are you still doing here?" Monica didn''t say anything but tidied up the torn clothes, but she couldn''t handle both the front and the back. She gave up tidying up, wiped the bloodstain on her lower lip and went out. When she walked pass Quarmy Huo, he said coldly, "Be self-aware and self- knowledge. I hope you can know what''s good for you!" Listening to the indifference in the voice, Monica suddenly felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of her heart. She pped him in the face. Quarmy Huo never thought that Monica would beat him, he didn''t avoid at all... The p was so tight that Monica felt her hand hurt. She left after pping him. Quarmy Huo grabbed her hand and said, "You want to leave after this?" "Let it go!" His face was burning with pain. Quarmy Huo was so angry that his lips trembled. An ungrateful woman should repay kindness with ingratitude! Did he dare not do anything to her? She thought too highly of herself. He pulled her into his arms and reached out to hold her chin. Their eyes met. Monica''s eyes were full of hatred, which stimted Quarmy Huo. She dared to hate him! How could she hate him? Quarmy Huo pressed hard on Monica''s chin. Monica''s chin was blue and purple. She endured the pain and did not scream, but her feet kept kicking his legs. Quarmy Huo felt ufortable, but he had no intention to let her go. In the entanglement, his hand touched her chest. Monica was so shocked that she shrank. Quarmy Huo''s hand was insatiable and reached into her bra... Chapter 24 Chapter 24 "Hey! What the hell is going on ?" Rnd Wangughed cheekily and appeared beside them. He was dizzy after drinking too much. Seeing Monica note back for a long time, he was worried and hurried toe out to have a look. He didn''t see Monica all the way but saw Quarmy Huo holding a woman and standing there ambiguously, so he made fun of him. While speaking, Rnd Wang walked to them. When he saw that it was Monica who was in Huo''s arms, his face changed. "Quarmy Huo, how dare you to touch my woman!" While speaking, he punched Quarmy Huo. Rnd Wang was a little drunk, but he didn''t hesitate to beat people. Quarmy Huo wasughing at him the other day about his gambling and frequenting in brothels which took the most of his energy away. It was not until today that Quarmy Huo knew that Rnd Wang''s body was unusually good. At the moment, Quarmy Huo was so painful that he grimaced. However, what made him most angry was that Rnd Wang said that you dared to touch my woman. In Quarmy Huo''s ears, this sentence was more upsetting than beating him. He let go of Monica and turned back to punch Rnd Wang. Rnd Wang was beaten so hard that he almost fell down. Monica quickly reached out to support Rnd Wang. They were all people with high status. Each of them took a fair punch in turn, but Rnd Wang''s face changed when he saw Monica''s torn clothes and bruises on the corners of her mouth. He immediately took off his clothes and put it on Monica. Then he turned back and punched Quarmy Huo again. He scolded, "Hey, you fucking hit her? I didn''t eveny my hand on her and you hit her!" Quarmy Huo gave him another punch. Rnd Wang, regardless of his status, threw a rain-like punch at Quarmy Huo. Quarmy Huo of course wouldn''t let him take the advantage. They tangled together. Themotion here startled the people in the room and all came out to watch the scene of bustle. Quarmy Huo''s special assistant, Noah and Beck Xi, also came. Seeing this scene, they immediately went forward to separate them. Fist and foot show no mercy, Rnd and Quarmy''s faces are both disfigured. They both had eggs on their faces. Beck Xi assisted Rnd Wang and asked, "Are you all right, Mr. Wang?" "No, what could happen to me?" Rnd Wang sneered. "Quarmy Huo, let''s exercise again the other day. I''ll avenge myself." "I''ll go tit for tat all the way with you!" Quarmy Huo did not exin anything. Although Rnd Wang was okay, Monica saw clearly that he was obviously at a disadvantage in the This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. fight with Quarmy Huo. After all, he had drunk too much. She didn''t know why she hated Rnd Wang before, but when he took off his clothes and put it on her, she suddenly found that Rnd Wang was not obnoxious at all. Quarmy Huo sat in the room with a gloomy face. The corners of his mouth were broken by Rnd Wang. There was a clear fingerprint on his face, which made him look very embarrassed. Noah ordered someone to bring him some medicine to treat his wounds. "Mr. Huo, hold up a little bit. It may hurt a little." "This little wound is nothing!" Quarmy Huo gnashed his teeth. Compared with the wound in his heart, this injury was nothing. Thinking of the scene when Monica helping Rnd Wang left, he couldn''t help swearing, "You adulterers, absolute adulterers!" "Mr. Wang didn''t know about that situation at that time. He thought you bullied Madam," Noah exined. "Madam? What madam?" Quarmy Huo yelled at Noah, "Don''t you know that I have divorced that woman? Which kind of madam is she?" "I made a slip of the tongue." Noah quickly admitted his mistake and added, "Miss Mo, the corners of her mouth are bleeding. David He is so damn vicious!" "Bastard! How dare he make trouble in my territory? Let''s see how I deal with him!" Quarmy Huo thought of the blood at the corner of Monica''s mouth. He waste. Rnd Wang said one thing right tonight. He didn''t eveny hands on her. How could he touch her! His eyes shed with coldness. "Find a suitable opportunity to ask someone to break his damn leg! And break his ws by the way!" Noah nodded as if he had seen it clearly in his heart. Quarmy Huo''s dealing with David He had nothing to do with making trouble. David He had made trouble here before, but Quarmy had never been so angry. Noah felt sorry for David He in his heart. If David knew that he could break one of his arms and one leg because of one p, he would not do anything. On the way back, Rnd Wang finally figured out what was going on. It turned out that he misunderstood Quarmy Huo. It was someone else who bullied Monica. Beck Xiined to him, "Mr. Wang, you did it without knowing clearly. Quarmy Huo is not an ordinary person in Jane City. It''s not a good thing to offend him." Rnd Wang didn''t take it seriously. "Quarmy Huo is nothing to me. I''ll beat him up if I do it again!" Beck Xi was well aware of Rnd Wang''s personality, he was not scared of tough people, so he had to give up persuading him. After sending Monica home, Rnd Wang and Beck Xi returned. On the way, Rnd Wang ordered Beck Xi, "Find a few people to make the He pay." "Mr. Wang, Mr. He is the son of Jee He. Now we have favors to ask Jee He. Can we do itter?" "Are you afraid that Mr. He won''t help us?" Rnd Wang sneered. "I''m telling you, after tonight''s observation, I can see that Mr. He is as sneaky as a fox. He won''t be on the same team with us at all." "Even if he won''t be on our team, we can''t offend him. After all, he is an official in Jane City. We will have more opportunities to deal with him in the future." "Don''t you know what kind of person I am?" Rnd Wang asked. Beck Xi became silent immediately. How could he not know his personality? After being with him for three years, he knew better than anyone else about this naughty young master. He was the most harmless person in the Wang Family, but he was also a person that no one dared to offend. "Immediately prepare a big gift for the He family. I like to cut the weeds and dig out the roots. Since I want to f*uck up his son, I won''t let him stay in this position to make trouble for me!" Looking at the cold expression of Rnd Wang, Beck Xi couldn''t help shivering. David He and Jee He wouldn''t be definitely done this time! Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Xanjer Mo was shocked when he saw Monicaing back with a livid mouth. "Mon, what''s wrong with you? Have you been beaten?" "No, I identally bumped into something." Xanjer Mo''s heart ached. "It''s all uncle''s fault. I made you suffer so much." "Uncle, I''m not in pain. You''re the one suffering. If it weren''t for you, I would have left in the streets long ago." Monica was a little emotional. If it weren''t for a family member like Xanjer Mo, she wouldn''t have been able to hold on for a long time. "Uncle, don''t worry. Our lives will get better and better." Xanjer Mo nodded. "It will get better and better!" The next morning, Monica went to thepany with livid lips on her face, so did Rnd Wang. They looked at each other and couldn''t help but smile. The atmosphere was much better than before. When they were having lunch at noon, Rnd Wang took Monica to the nearest restaurant. This restaurant''s specialty was Cantonese cuisine. Monica murmured, "Didn''t Rnd dislike Cantonese cuisine? What happened today?" Before they could order, a voice came. "Herees what I''ve been looking for!" Monica saw David He and two men staring at her and Rnd. Although Rnd had just arrived in Jane City, he had already known the situation of Jane City very clearly. Seeing David He, he recognized him at a nce. So he sneered and said, "You missed one point. You got it without effort!" "Teach him a lesson first!" David He ordered his two followers. The two followers rushed over and thought he would be easy to deal with, but they didn''t expect that after several rounds, Rnd would beat them so hard. Rnd Wang beaten down the two followers and went straight to David He. David panicked. "Do you know who I am? My father is the leader of the Urban Construction Bureau. If you dare to touch me, I will let you die without a burial ce!" N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. The only response to him was a punch after a punch. He was beaten ck and blue. The waiter of the restaurant saw the fight and reported to the police. The police came soon. They were taken to the police station together. Rnd Wang was calm as always, but David He was used to being arrogant. He was also arrogant in the police station. "You, wait for me to go out and I''ll kill you!" Noah immediately reported to Quarmy Huo about the incident of Rnd and David being arrested in the police station for fighting. He said, "Rnd''s special assistant visited the He family early in the morning. Why did they fight soon at noon? Doesn''t he want to the city bid?" Quarmy Huo was stunned. "It can''t be that simple. Watch closely!" Hearing that his son had been beaten, Jee He rushed to the police station. When he saw that it was Rnd Wang who was fighting with his son, he was shocked. Seeing Jee Heing, Rnd Wang immediately changed his attitude and apologized in a low voice. He also mentionedpensation. David He was very happy to see the cowardly look of Rnd Wang. Seeing his son''s bloody nose and swollen face, Jee was very angry. Wang wanted to build a city, he could think about it in his dream. However, this matter could not be dealt with like this. He had to ask for a fortune from him and let him pay for nothing. As he nned this in his heart, the special assistant of Rnd Wang, Beck Xi, came at night. He apologized with a good attitude and asked someone to move a few boxes in. After Beck Xi left, Jee He and his wife opened the boxes. The boxes were filled with money. These boxes were worth millions of yuan. It seemed that Rnd Wang had done a good job and knew that he liked cash. However, he was doomed to lose his money. He would not help him in building the city. Jee He was happy to move the money into the storage room and put it away, but he did not expect that he was going to face a catastrophe. Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Monica didn''t know David He was the son of Jee He until she was at the police station. Seeing Rnd Wang''s humble apology, she felt very ufortable. Rnd Wang always looked arrogant and domineering in front of her. When did he bow to others like this? She knew very well that the reason he acted so soft-spoken and submissive is because of the city development construction. Monica felt very ufortable when she thought that it was her who had caused Rnd Wang to be wronged. After returning to thepany, Beck Xi and Rnd Wang gathered together and talked about something as usual. She never cared about it, but today she could not help but eavesdrop. As a result, Monica heard that Rnd Wang asked Beck Xi to give David He five million RMB, which was an astonishing number for her. Thinking of such arge sum of money, she felt more and more guilty. She was not as excited as usual when she was off work and ready to go home. She thought that if Rnd wanted to vent his anger, she would definitely send herself to him. But it was really strange that he was not unhappy at all and did not keep her. Seeing her slowly packing up her things, he asked her curiously, "Why are you still here?" Monica had to pack her things and went home. When she went downstairs, she saw an Audi parked. When spotted hering back, the car door suddenly opened. Zoe Jane got out of the car, "Mon." "What are you doing here?" Monica''s face turned cold. "What''s wrong with your mouth?" When Zoe Jane saw the bruise on Monica''s mouth, his face suddenly sank. "Was it David He?" "It has nothing to do with you." Zoe Jane wanted to talk to Monica about the city''s construction. Zoe was very clear about Quarmy''s goal in the city''s construction. Quarmy was alsopetent, so it was no doubt that the city''s construction would fall on him. However, it was different when Rnd came back to intervene. The strength of the Wang family was This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. not small either. The important thing was that Monica was with Rnd. If Monica could benefit from it, why didn''t he help his daughter? Unexpectedly, he saw the bruise on Monica''s mouth. He knew it at noon that Rnd Wang fought with David He and was taken away by the police. At that time, he was still wondering why Rnd Wang provoked Kein He at this time. Now seeing the bruise on Monica''s mouth, he could be sure that David He bullied Monica, and Rnd was helping her. Zoe Jane was angry. "Mon, I''ll settle this with David He." Monica looked at him coldly. "Mayor Jane, my business has nothing to do with you. You''d better not waste time. Go back to apany your wife and daughter!" "Mon, what I want to say has something to do with Rnd Wang." In front of Monica, Zoe Jane had no dignity at all. Hearing his mention of Rnd Wang, Monica looked a bit more rxed. There was a tea room nearby. She went to the tea room with Zoe Jane. Zoe Jane naturally did not need to speak like an official in front of his daughter. He told Monica very directly that he could help with the bidding of Rnd Wang''s Company. Monica never wanted to have anything to do with Zoe Jane, but now seeing that he took the initiative to help Rnd, she couldn''t help but be happy, and her attitude began to be gentle. "We don''t need your help, as long as you can be fair enough to let the bid be held, we won''t have anyints even if we can''t win the bid." Zoe Jane told Monica about the details that should be paid attention to during the auction. Then he walked out of the teahouse with Monica. Before getting on the car, he turned back and held Monica''s hand. "Mon, I hope you can move back and live with us." The word "Us" made Monica''s face change. She shook off Zoe Jane''s hand and said, "Mayor Jane, take care and see you!" Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Quarmy Huo was very confident about the city development construction, but Jenny Sun was not so optimistic. She made an appointment with Guo Yjie and said that the city was under construction. Guo Yage naturally promised, "I heard from Lao Jiang that no one canpare with him." This was undoubtedly a reassurance for them. Jenny Sun was very happy. They separated after discussed some details about Madrigal and Quarmy''s engagement. When Quarmy returned home, Jenny reminded Quarmy, "I have already discussed engagement with Madam Jane today. The date is scheduled to be the 25th of next month." Quarmy remained silent. Jenny tried to persuade him. "Quarmy, Madrigal is kind and well-behaved. You should marry her, since she has suffered so much for you. Besides, she is Zoe Jane''s daughter. It''s good for you to marry her." Quarmy still didn''t say anything. Jenny was used to her son''s silence. Since she forced him to get rid of the jinx from her life, he talked to her less and less. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Sometimes he didn''t say a word all day long. "Son, I''ve told Madrigal that you''ll apany her to choose an engagement dress and ring tomorrow, and you can postpone thepany''s schedule tomorrow." "Mom, do you like Madrigal because she is kind or because she is Zoe Jane''s daughter?" Quarmy suddenly said. "Of course it is because Madrigal is kind and well-behaved." Jenny replied. "That''s good. This time it''s mom''s choice. I hope mom can treat her well. Don''t do the same thing as before." Quarmy turned around and went upstairs after saying this. Looking at his son''s back, Sun Jinfang opened her mouth but did not say anything. Why did her son''s words sound so awkward? What did he mean by mom''s choice? Didn''t he have deep feelings for Madrigal? Quarmy was lying on the bed wearily. Tonight, he drove to that ce, but happened to see Zoe and Monica walking out of the teahouse. How would Monica go have tea with Zoe? Zoe knew about what happened between him and Monica. Now he was about to get engaged to Zoe''s daughter, but Zoe met his ex-wife. What the hell was going on? While thinking, he saw Zoe touch Monica''s head and pull Monica''s hand. Monica resisted and shook off Zoe''s hand and left without looking back. Zoe had been standing in the same ce until Monica could not be seen. Then he got in the car and left. Quarmy was confused by what he saw today. Hey on the bed tossing and turning and fell asleep until early in the morning. He actually slept in until he heard the knock on the door. Jenny shouted outside, "Quarmy, Madrigal is "What is Madrigal doing here?" Quarmy rubbed his eyes and sat up. Then he remembered what his mother saidst night. Madrigal came here to let him apany her to choose a dress and an engagement ring. He slowly washed up and went downstairs. Madrigal did not look anxious at all. She had been chatting with Jenny with a smile. Looking at the harmonious picture, Quarmy sighed in his heart and strode downstairs. "Quarmy!" Madrigal saw him and turned her head with a smile. "Did you sleep well?" "Let''s go." Quarmy took the lead and walked to the door. Madrigal said goodbye to Jenny politely and trotted to keep up with Quarmy. Quarmy went to the dress store with Madrigal first. Madrigal went inside to try the dress. He felt so bored, so he went outside to smoke. At this time, a car came over and Summer and Monica entered the dress store. Chapter 28 Chapter 28 The TV station was going to hold a dinner party tomorrow. Summer had to wear a gown to attend, so she pulled Monica as a reference. "Moni, is this dress good-looking?" Summer pointed at a bare strapless dress and asked Monica. Monica shook her head. Summer was petite and was easier to stand out with middle-waist dresses, so Monica pointed to a short dress and asked her to try it on. Madrigal put on her dress and came out happily to let Quarmy see, but she didn''t expect to see Summer and Monica. Both sides were stunned. Summer reacted first. With a sneer on her face and a tone of anger, she said, "Hey! Isn''t this Jane the side b*tch?" This ''Jane the side b*itch'' made everyone in the shop look at Madrigal. Madrigal blushed. She was now a famous socialite in Jane City. Now, what Summer did really made her embarrassed. "It seems that your hook-up buddy is going to turn you into an official partner?" Summer''s eyes showed a hint of irony. "These years, even those immoral mistresses dare to wear a formal dress. Public morality is not what it used to be." Madrigal felt so ashamed that she just wanted to hide underground, but Summer didn''t intend to let her off the hook. "Don''t you think about the karma if you ruin someone''s family? I tell you that the price you have to pay for being a mistress is to have a son with no genitals." "Summer!" Monica knew Summer''s temper so well that Summer would keep dragging on. She pulled Summer and pushed her into the fitting room. "Try on the clothes first. I''ll go to the bathroom." Madrigal blushed, and the joy in her heart turned into bitterness. She looked around for Quarmy, but did not see him, so she casually grabbed a dress, bowed her head, and went back to the fitting room. Monica grabbed a shop assistant and asked about the location of the bathroom and went to the bathroom. When she finished, she saw a pair of deep eyes in front of her. Quarmy even came here too? He really spoiled Madrigal that he even apanied her to try on the dresses in person. Monica ready to pass by with no expression, but Quarmy stopped her. He stared at her without a blink, "I want to hear your exnation." "What?" Monica was stunned. "Monica, why did you let Summer say that?" Monica then realized that Quarmy must have heard what Summer just said to Madrigal to question her. She did not say anything, and her heart was a little cold. She was about to leave. Quarmy grabbed her hand and said, "I won''t allow you to bully my woman!" "Mister, what do you want?" Monica didn''t even bother to say the word ''Huo1. "Apologize! I want you to apologize to Madrigal." Quarmy''s fingers, which were holding Monica''s hand, turned a little white. The indifference in Monica''s eyes stimted his nerves. How cruel was this woman? Monica suddenly felt miserable. She had tried to let herself not pay attention to this man, but there was nothing she could do to stop him from marching into Jiang City. Jiang City was her home. Because this This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. man would march into Jiang City and be the overlord, she could not go back home. She thought about making some money to buy a house and take uncle away. But it was not easy to make money. She had worked hard all these years alone. This time, Rnd Wang insisted on bringing her back, so she had to obey his order. When she came back, she thought of meeting this man, but never thought of such a situation. "He wants me to apologize to his new lover?" Monica suddenly felt a little sorry for herself. Why was she avoiding this man? The person who had been hurting her was always him, but she had to ept the consequences of this kind of injury. She left her hometown and stayed everywhere. After all, she was weak and it was not her who did the wrong thing. What was she afraid of? "Why?" Monica sneered and tried to break free from his hand, but Quarmy held it tightly. She red at him and said, "since you dared to do it, then there is no need to be afraid of being criticized, huh?" Her temper did not change at all. She was still so strong and refused to give in. Quarmy''s body froze and his hand unconsciously let go. Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Summer came out wearing a gown. Monica''s tastes were good, the dress really showed her elegance. She was very happy and immediately bought it. Seeing Monica''s awkward facial expression, she thought it was Madrigal''s fault. "Moni, we don''t have to be angry at b*tches." Monica forced a smile. Although she had been separated from Quarmy for three years and everything had been blurred, it was impossible to ignore it. Quarmy''s aggressive look just now made her very annoyed and she didn''t want to stay here for another minute. "Summer, let''s go." Summer nodded and ordered the clerk to pack the clothes. Quarmy suddenly came out, she was shocked when she saw Quarmy. Summer was the person who witnessed the love between Monica and Quarmy. As a matter of fact, she had a lot to do with the thing that Quarmy and Monica decided to stay together. Monica was under pressure when being with Quarmy. She was the one who persuaded Monica to embrace it bravely. Thinking that Quarmy had sworn to be good to Monica, Summer was extremely upset when she thought of how he had betrayed his promise to Monica after getting married for a few years. "I wondered why I was so unlucky today. It turns out that I didn''t check the date when I went out, so see what kind of people I met." Madrigal heard it clearly inside. At this time, it was time for her to show up. Summer was hot-tempered and could curse people on all asions. Quarmy was not easy to deal with, too. If he was cursed, he would definitely get angry. At that time, the scene would get ugly. Thinking about that, Madrigal quickly opened the door and went out. "Quarmy, is it good-looking?" Her voice extremely soft. Quarmy naturally noticed Summer''s dissatisfaction. He was a little embarrassed and nced at Monica''s indifferent eyes. A charming smile immediately appeared on his face and his voice was as gentle as water. "It''s beautiful!" Different from Monica''s calmness, seeing this scene in front of her, Summer''s eyes were burning with anger. "Shameless b*tch couple, you have the face to show off your love here. Don''t you know how to write shame?" Monica naturally knew Summer''s temper. Now Quarmy was not that obedient man behind her, but a dominator. There was no good result to offend him. So she quickly took the dress from the clerk, pulled Summer and went out. "Summer, let''s go!" Seeing that she did not show any emotional fluctuation, for some reason, Quarmy only felt ufortable and annoyed. He just wanted to make a scene to find some existence, but when the corner of his eyes was ncing at the figure, Monica strode out without stopping. His eyes sank, and he suddenly felt that he was a little ridiculous. That woman was so heartless back then, how could she have any excessive reaction to his actions now? He was a little confused and unwilling. He looked at the door in a daze. The figure of the beauty had disappeared for a long time, but he was still there staring at the door without moving. Madrigal did not find his change. She was still immersed in the joy of Quarmy just now. In the past, Quarmy was reluctant to let Monica suffer a little grievance. Now since he could treat her like this in front of her, he must have put it down. She said in a spoiled manner, "I also like another red dress. I''ll try it on to show you." Quarmy came to his senses, and his voice was still so gentle. "No need to try. You look good in every dress. If you like them, I''ll buy them for you." His words were full of love. Madrigal happily asked the clerk to take the clothes, but did not notice This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Quarmy''s indifferent eyes. Although his voice was gentle, his eyes had never been warm. Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Back to thepany, Quarmy''s face had been gloomy as if someone owed him a lot of money. Manager Zhang of the nning Department took a sponsorship contract and came to him to sign the donation. When he saw the word "Summer1'' on the contract, Quarmy was very angry. "This sponsorship is stopped!" Manager Zhang was stunned and thought that he had heard it wrong. Quarmy stared at him and said, "You go and tell the leaders of the TV station that if they want sponsorship, they can rece Summer first and let her do the chores!" Manager Zhang was a little aggrieved and came out with the sponsorship contract. He met Noah in the corridor. "Special Assistant Noah, please give me justice!" He grabbed Noah and said, "Mr. Huo agreed to sponsor at first, but now he suddenly changed his mind. How can I exin it to the TV station?" Noah shook his head andforted him by patting him on the shoulder. "There''s no logic to say with Mr. Huo. Just do what he wants!" Manager Zhang sighed. Indeed, there was no logic to say with Quarmy. However, it was a favor that his old ssmate asked, who was working in the TV station. At that time, he looked carefully at the other side''s program n and thought that it could bring profits to thepany, so he went to find Quarmy. Quarmy thought it was interesting at that time, but he suddenly changed his mind. How did he exin to his old ssmate now? Manager Zhang found it hard to reply to his old ssmate. His old ssmate was also full of anger. He wanted to make Summer happy for bringing her sponsor. He didn''t know that Summer just treated his Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. favor as official business and she had no interest in him at all. After Summer rejected him several times for dinners, Manager Zhang''s old ssmate felt a little regretful. Had he known that this woman was so arrogant, he should not have helped her. ording to Manager Zhang, Quarmy''s request was to degrade Summer and then he would give the sponsorship fee. The other party was overjoyed. "I''ll tell the leaders of the TV station about this immediately." The next day, Summer was invited into the office by the leaders of the TV station. First of all, she praised her personal ability. Then, she changed the topic and said that the new staff had to go to the basic level to practice for a period of time. The program she nned would be taken over by another director, and she woulde back after her exercise. Summer was not a fool. She asked directly, "Is someone trying to y tricks on me?" The leader didn''t respond directly, "as long as Summer can figure out what''s going on." This program took Summer so much effort. She didn''t expect such an obstacle. She was also a person who dared to speak out and make actions. Although she was upset, she refused to admit defeat. "Let''s put this matter aside for a while. I''ll go find sponsorship, if I failed, I''ll go to the other department!" The leader smiled bitterly. "Summer, after such a thing happened, who dares to sponsor you in Jiang City?" Monica didn''t know the thing about Summer until she participated in the first rehearsal. She knew very well that it was Quarmy who did this. She was so angry that she took out the phone and dialed without thinking. As soon as Quarmy just said hello, she started to scold him. "Are you still a human?" Quarmy''s voice was calm. "Of course I''m human. Do you have any questions, Miss Mo?" "Why are you so shameless? If you wanna make any trouble you cane to me, why do you set Summer up?" "I''m busy. I don''t have time to talk about this!" Quarmy hung up immediately. After hung up the phone, he stared at the phone in front of him in a daze. He had been waiting for this call for three years. It could be said that he was looking forward to it every day and night. But when he had lost hope, she called him. Monica, it was good that you have a weakness! Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Monica naturally would not let Summer suffer for her. She thought it over and over again, and because this incident happened because of her, she had to talk to Quarmy about it, but Quarmy never answered her call again. She couldn''t do anything but to go to Quarmy''spany, but was stopped directly by thepany''s receptionist. "Miss, what can I do for you?" Did you have an appointment?" She knew the woman who stopped her. The girl did the same job in A city three years ago, She didn''t expect that three yearster, Quarmy came to Jiang City and took her with him. Three years ago, whenever she wanted to see Quarmy, the woman would always gently press the button of the elevator for her, but now she talked to Monica in an indifferent tone. It turned out that everything was not the same. Monica controlled herself. "I want to see your boss." "Have you made an appointment? You can''t see Mr Huo without an appointment!" Monica ignored her and pushed her away and went straight to the elevator. The woman winked at the security guard. Two security guards came up to stop her and looked at the security guard who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy. Monica turned around and walked to the sofa in the hall. She sat in the hall and waited. She did not believe that Quarmy would note down for the rest of his life. Monica waited in the hall until they were off work and still did not see Quarmy. The receptionist packed up and was ready to get off work. When she saw that she was still sitting there, she felt sorry for Monica., "Boss has left from the underground parking lot a long time ago!" Monica was so angry that she almost broke the curse. The receptionist probably pitied her, so she added another sentence, "Boss will go to the Flourishing Age to meet friends tonight." This was to tell her about Quarmy''s trip tonight. Monica didn''t care how a small receptionist knew about Quarmy''s schedule. She thanked the receptionist and went out of the door of VSUS. Watching her leave, the security guarde over to the front desk, and looked at the receptionist tteringly, "Manager Liu, what are you doing today? Why did you stop this woman?" "Don''t ask what you shouldn''t ask!" The woman didn''t answer with a good attitude. Seeing Monica, she finally understood why Mr. Huo wanted her to work here. No one should recognize Monica except her and Noah. But what did Mr Huo mean by ordering her to stop Monica but also expose his whereabouts? Monica took a taxi to Zhaoge after leaving VSUS. After hearing that Quarmy was in a special private room on the second floor, she went straight to the second floor and pushed open the door of the private room where Quarmy was. She saw a lusty scenery in front of her. There were a few men sitting in the box, and all the men were apanied by beautiful women. She saw Quarmy sitting in the innermost position with two beautiful women on his both sides. One of them leaned against him and was talking to him. Quarmy had a gentle smile on his face, which made Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Monica''s heart hurts. This was what men called putting on a show. She knew nothing about it three years ago. She always thought that he was busy with work, so she was deceived so badly by him. Monica sneered and raised her voice. "Quarmy Huo!" The sudden voice made everyone in the box look at her. Quarmy raised his eyebrows and showed an impatient look on his face, but he did not move at all. A beautiful man next to him teased him, "Mr Huo, it''s not enough for you to hold two women in both your arms. You even have one chasing after you. I''m jealous of you!" Quarmy smiled lightly. "How can my taste be so bad?" "Since she came. Let''s go and have a look!" Another man said with a smile. Quarmy stood up and walked over. When he came to Monica, a manughed behind him and said, "If you really can''t bear her, just give her to me, bro!" Monica was so angry that she trembled all over. She raised her hand and wanted to p him. Quarmy quickly grabbed her hand, and the man inside burst intoughter. "What a hot wild cat!" Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Quarmy closed the door, grabbed Monica''s hand and took her to a room next door. "Why are you looking for me?" He let go of Monica''s hand and asked in a cold voice. "Did you cause Summer''s trouble?" Monica red at him. Quarmy ignored Monica''s hostility. He casually sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, took out his cigarette and lit it up. "Summer''s trouble is her own fault. She can''t me anyone else." Quarmy could smoke? Monica was a little surprised. She used to say that she hated the smell of cigarettes from men. Quarmy also said that he was not interested in smoking. But now looking at his skilled posture and the smoke ring from his mouth, Monica found that she knew too little about this man. "Quarmy, you cane at me. What''s the point of making things difficult for Summer?" "Miss Mo, why should Ie after you?" He asked with his cold eyes. "I, Quarmy, am clear about grievances. Summer, who had studied abroad, can''t even control what she said. I just want her to control herself." "How can you be so cold- blooded?" Monica controlled her trembling hands because of anger. "If it''s because of Summer''s wrong words, I''ll apologize for her." "You apologize?" Quarmy looked at her yfully with a cold look in his eyes. She could apologize to him for an outsider, but she couldn''t be tolerant for his mother. If she wasn''t so aggressive at that time and was willing to bow to his mother who was equally tough, everything would not be like this. "Yes! I apologize. I can apologize to you and your beloved woman. I beg you to let Summer go!" Monica would do anything for Summer. "It''s toote!" Quarmy slightly opened his thin lips, and his tone was still so cold. "Miss Mo, everything has a limit. I gave you a chance." "You..." Monica red at him. She had never dreamed that he would say that. "Do you want to say that how I could be so heartless?" Quarmy chuckled and said more hurtful words. "Monica, I used to spoil you and love you. I gave you endless rights and let you ride on my head, This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. because you were my wife. But now, who do you think you are? Why do you think I will give in to you?" Monica took a step back. Looking at Quarmy''s indifferent face, she smiled bitterly. Yes, who was she now? How could she think that she could make a request from him? Hadn''t she ever experienced his cruelness? He had vowed to love her, but next he went away and betrayed her, letting the pregnant mistresse to provoke her on the wedding anniversary. After the incident was revealed, he informed her through thewyer to move out without any exnation... Was there any man in this world being so cruel like him? And so heartless like him? She really didn''t change her nature. She even imagined that she could seed asking for a favor from him. Monica looked at the man on the sofa and said, "Quarmy Huo, you are right. It''s my fault. I am indeed nobody for you! I really regret all the history that I had with you! If I could turn back time, I will never let myself be so stupid!" She shouted out thest sentence and did not care about Quarmy''s reaction. Monica opened the door and left. She almost ran out of the Flourishing Age all the way. The night wind was slightly cold outside. She did not know why but her eyes were moist. Chapter 33 Chapter 33 The door of the private room mmed shut. Hearing the hurried footsteps going away, Quarmy suddenly stood up. He only took a step and sat back on the sofa feebly. He put out the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it into the trash can. He leaned back and rubbed his temple. He had never been so annoyed. He could not help but take out a cigarette case and pulled out a cigarette. When he was ready to light it up, he heard a coquettish voice. "I don''t like the smell of cigarettes. I hate men who smoke!" Quarmy''s action to light the cigarette stopped. He sighed heavily and threw the lighter on the table. He had to stop smoking in the future. Monica stopped a car and went home after her tears had dried up. Seeing hering back, Xanjer Mo immediately went to the kitchen to heat up the dishes. Monica stopped him. "Uncle, I''ve eaten." Actually, she hadn''t had a meal yet, she just didn''t have the appetite. Seeing her pale face, Xanjer Mo said with concern, "Moni, you don''t look well. Do you want to see the doctor?" "No, a little bit rest will be fine!" Closing the door and lying on the bed, she still felt ufortable in her heart. So she struggled to get up and was ready to pour water, but her cell phone suddenly rang. She picked up, Leon Gu''s voice came through. "Moni, Coco is sick!" "Is it serious?" If it was just a slight fever, Leon Gu wouldn''t have called her. "A little bit. If you have time,e and see him!" "I know!" Because of Leon Gu''s phone call, her heart was no longer blocked. Instead, she was all worried about Coco. Monica immediately booked a flight ticket and called Rnd Wang to ask for leave. Rnd was surprised and asked, "What happened?" Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. "There''s something going on at home." Seeing that she refused to answer, he didn''t keep asking and readily agreed. Monica immediately packed up and rushed to the airport. She had been worried during the flight for more than ten hours. When she arrived at the destination, Leon Gu came to pick up her personally, and the two of them rushed to the hospital together. Coco was in aa on the hospital bed. His whole body was burning hot. "What the hell is going on?" Monica burst into tears. "He has been refusing to eat these days. The day before yesterday, he suddenly had a fever and it didn''t work even if he took the antipyretics. The doctor couldn''t find out the reason, so I told you to "Coco! My poor Coco, it is all mother''s fault!" Monica held Coco''s small hand and sobbed. As if he had sensed something, Coco suddenly opened his eyes and saw Monica, he grinned. "Mom, am I dreaming?" "No! It''s true. Mom is here to see you!" Because of Monica''s appearance, his fever miraculously retreated, Leon Gu was a little embarrassed. "If I had known that he recovered so soon, I wouldn''t have called you toe here." But Coco nestled happily in her mother''s arms. "Mom, when will you pick me up?" "Very soon!" Monica answered. "Have you found dad?" Coco asked again. "Not yet, but we will find him soon." "Mom, take your time. Don''t worry. I can find dad with you in the future." Monica nodded heavily with her son in her arms. "I will pick up you soon after I settle down." Leon Gu sighed aside. "Monica,e back if you can''t make it. I can support you and your child." "Leon Gu, I don''t want to owe you too much, do you understand?" "I am willing." "But I can''t. Leon Gu, you deserve to be loved by better women!" Leon Gu was silent for a long time before sighing. "Monica, if you are tired, wee back at any time. I will always be there for you." Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Monica apanied Coco for ten days. When she returned to Jane City, she found that there had N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. been a tremendous change during the ten days. First, something happened to David He, the son of the director of the city construction bureau, Kein He. It was someone who called the TV station to reveal that David He was taking drugs, so the reporters of the TV station followed the police to arrest him. Unexpectedly, what they saw was a shocking scene. David He, who had an overdose, mutted himself. When the police knocked open the door of his apartment, they found that he was in aa with a knife in his hand and the ground was full of blood. The police sent him to the hospital quickly and found that tendons of his arms and legs had been cut off by himself. Originally, it was just a simple drug case, but the police found some fake money when they searched David He''s residence. Then someone online reported that Jee He was suspected of making fake money, taking bribes, corruption and other vitions ofw. Mayor Jane gave strict orders to investigate this case. The police searched Kein He''s house overnight and found a whole house of money, including several fake bills. This matter became a big deal. Kein He was conducted a separate examination. After a round of interrogation and verification, all the ugly things he had done over the years were revealed. Kein He was doomed. While Kein He was in danger, the tender of the city construction officially started. Because Quarmy Huo had full confidence in winning the bid, he didn''t go to the tender meeting personally. He only sent a manager here. On Wang family''s side, Rnd Wang led the team personally. This auction adopted apletely transparent and fair principle. Afteryers of selection, VSUS and the Wang family went all the way to thest step. After careful research and evaluation, several experts began to examine the two bids, and the results were surprisingly even. This result was beyond Quarmy Huo''s expectation. If other people in the Wang family''s came, that might set an rm to him. Because it was Rnd Wang, he did not take him seriously at all. Rnd Wang was just a yboy who only knew how to flirt with women, so Quarmy underestimated his enemy from the very beginning. In addition, he had rich connections and resources, so he looked down on Rnd. But it turned out that this guy was underestimated. Since Rnd could lead the team to make such a high- level bidding document, he was not so impotent as Quarmy thought. However, Quarmy still had a chance to win. Anyway, the fairness was equal. The key was the person he chose. As long as Zoe Jane had the favor with him, he would win. This time, it was just a false rm. He could not look down upon this guy anymore. And the ending record of the reality show where Monica participated in the blind date program officially began. It was unknown how Quarmy Huo thought it though, which made the leaders of the TV station restore Summer''s work. Therefore, Summer took part in this recording. She intended to dress Monica up beautifully in the program. Although the program was notpletely authentic, some of the men who participated in the program were powerful men. If they could choose Monica, it would be a good thing. Monica also thought that Summer''s suggestion was good, but she did not dress herself up beautifully. She thought that the real appearance was the real beauty. She was a divorced woman and also a single mother. Her baby Coco had asked her countless times that he wanted a father. Through recording this program, she not only needed to make money, but also find a father for her baby. So she used her real personal information to attend the program. Monica was given thebel of "a single mother". She wore a very ordinary costume and a mask and appeared at the recording scene. ording to the rules of the program, male guests made the first choice for female guests. After choosing their favorite female guests, he gave the roses to the female guests and asked her three questions when the female guests epted his roses. If the female guest was satisfied with the male guest''s answer, she took over the roses, took off her mask, and then went on with the second part. Monica wore ordinary clothes and was a single mother, so no male guest chose her after the first recording. This situation was expected by Monica. After recording the program, Summer walked out of the TV station with her. Sheined for Monica while walking, saying that those men were all dumbass, who did not know Monica''s good qualities. But Monica was very calm, "I already knew it would be like this. Don''t worry, there will finally be someone suitable for me in the world." Chapter 35 Chapter 35 After two days of holiday, the bidding result was going to be announced. Quarmy''s public rtion department had been ready for the bidding press conference. However, the result surprised them. Quarmy Huo was sipping tea leisurely in his office when he was told the bad news that the bid had failed by Noah. Then Jenny Sun called. She was very angry. "Quarmy, what''s going on?" "Mom, I just got the news." Quarmy Huo patiently exined, "I will call you when I figure it out." This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. After hanging up the phone, Jenny Sun was so angry that she trembled. What the hell was going on? It was clear that the bidding would fall into the hands of VSUS. The first thing that came to her was that Yale Guo burned the bridge after crossing the river. When she saw her daughter''s thing seeded, she let go of it. She picked up the phone angrily again and called Yale Guo. Yale Guo was in a beauty salon, and she was surprised when she heard the words too. "I''ll go home and ask the old man!" Yale Guo called Zoe Jane and asked him about the bidding. Zoe Jane said impatiently, "Why did you get involved? This is the decision of the municipal partymittee." Zoe Jane was right. It was the decision of the municipal partymittee to choose the Wang family to win the bid. The Wang family had been developing abroad. This time, the Wang family came back and invested in Jiang City, and it was sure that the municipal partymittee had preferred to choose them. However, as the mayor, if he had chosen to help Quarmy, the result of the bid would have be totally different. But he would never tell Yale Guo about this. Yale Guo could hear the impatience in his tone. She knew Zoe Jane''s temper very well, so she had to hang up the phone sulkily. Madrigal Jane also rushed back after hearing the news. She was panting and asked as soon as she entered the door, "Mom, what should we do?" "We''ll wait until your fatheres back and asks about the situation," Yale Guo replied. "No, you have to find someone to ask about the situation." Madrigal Jane was really in a hurry. She had once made a promise to Jenny Sun. Now that things had turned out this way, she had to find a reason, otherwise it would be difficult to exin. Yale Guo shook her head. "Maybe others don''t know about it. I was scolded by him just after I called him. We''d better wait for him at home first." "But mom, I''m afraid that Aunt Sun doesn''t have enough patience. You know her temper." "What are you afraid of? What happened between you and Quarmy has already been confirmed. Can she regret what she said because of this?" "No, I''m afraid that she will give me hard times. You know how cruel she was to Monica." "People are all snobbish. At that time, Jenny Sun treated Monica ruthlessly because she thought Monica was easy to bully and had no background. But you are different. You don''t have to be afraid of her with your father''s support." Yale Guo calmed down so that she was not so anxious. The mother and daughter sat in the living room and waited for Zoe Jane toe back. At this time, Nee Xi suddenly called, "Madrigal, have you watched TV?" "No." Madrigal was a little impatient. How could she be in the mood to watch TV at this time? "I just saw Monica on the big screen in the square." "Monica is on TV?" Madrigal was stunned. "It''s a financial channel broadcast. It seems to be a press conference for the tender..." Before Nee Xi finished her words, Madrigal picked up the remote control and turned on the TV to the financial channel. The financial channel was broadcasting a press conference held by the Wang family. As expected, Madrigal and Yale Guo saw Monica on it. The mother and daughter looked at each other and immediately understood. She finally found the source. It must be Monica''s trick. Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Noah informed people to have a meeting. Quarmy rubbed his forehead. He really had a headache this time. He clearly knew that Zoe had no intention of helping him at all. He was about to get engaged to Zoe''s daughter. Why didn''t Zoe, his future father-inw, help him? What on earth happened? He shed on Zoe and Monica drinking tea in a teahouse. Was it rted to this? But why did Zoe help Monica? Quarmy rubbed his forehead. Yale and her daughter were also in a headache about how to deal with this matter. Monica and Zoe''s rtionship had always been a secret. When Yale came into the Jane family with Madrigal, Monica was only 13 years old. She was at the age of rebellious. How could she ept Yale and Madrigal? They had been quarreling. Zoe also had a headache. On one hand, he felt guilty for Yale and Madrigal; on the other hand, Monica Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. was his spoiled daughter. It was not easy to deal with this matter. Later, Monica suddenly disappeared. Zoe was not the mayor of Jiang City at that time, but a deputy mayor of another city. He was scared and looked for Monica everywhere. Later, he knew that Monica had returned to Jiang City. Zoe immediately came to her. Monica refused toe back with him and even wanted to transfer her household registration to her uncle''s family. Zoe felt upset and angry, but he stillpromised. Monica changed her family name after transferring her household registration to Jiang City. In the next ten years or so, she had no contact with Zoe. Zoe was busy at that time. He also took the time to visit her, but every time he was rejected. Monica was very stubborn. She even threatened Zoe that if she was disturbed again, she would die. The father and daughter who had been intimate with each other had be enemies, which made Zoe very sad. After that, he no longer disturbed Monica. Later, Zoe became the mayor of A City, and his family moved to A City. Only when Madrigal, who was studying in the affiliated middle school of A University, said that she saw Monica, did they know that Monica was admitted to A University. After hearing that, Zoe went to see Monica, but came back with embarrassment again. At Monica and Quarmy''s wedding, it was Xanjer who led Monica to the red carpet. From marriage to divorce, Quarmy had never known that Monica''s real father was Zoe. It was precisely because of it that Jenny thought Monica was not worthy of Quarmy and treated her that way. Monica left as soon as she got divorced. There was no news from them for several years, which made Yale and Madrigal relieved. They didn''t expect that she woulde back, and even ask Zoe for help. That night, Zoe told Yale that Monica woulde back, but she didn''t believe it at all. Monica didn''t want toe back after Jenny put her in that position. How could shee back this time? But now she had to believe it. ording to the current situation, Monica was no longer the inexperienced girl. She must have her own purpose foring back this time. Yale became uneasy. The most important reason for Monica and Quarmy''s divorce was because Quarmy and Madrigal had an affair. If it hadn''t stimted her, she would never divorce Quarmy. Did shee back to revenge on purpose? Now the matter between Quarmy and Madrigal was just a verbal talk, and was not on the agenda yet. If Quarmy were to know Monica''s real identity, he would not be engaged to Madrigal. But now it was not something she could hide. Since Monica was willing to ask Zoe for help, there must be a follow-up n. You couldn''t wrap fire in paper. This matter was going to be out in the open. What should she do then? Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Yale and her daughter were anxiously thinking of a solution, but Zoe went straight to Monica after work. Because Rnd''spany had won the bid, Monica had a kind attitude toward him. She did not object to his proposal of having dinner together. After dinner, Zoe sent Monica home. Looking at the small apartment where she lived, Zoe thought of the luxurious house where he lived. He was a little sad, so he proposed to let her move back. Monica was in a good mood, but when she heard his words, she was immediately pissed off. "Mayor Jane, forget it." "Moni, I know that you have suffered a lot these years. What happened in the past is my fault. If I could do it all over again, I would never make that mistake. I have regretted for so many years for this matter. Moni, please forgive me!" "I won''t forgive you!" Monica sneered. "Mayor Jane, don''t waste your time. Off you go. Today is ourst meeting. Please never appear in my life again." Zoe did not expect Monica to be so angry. "Moni!" Seeing Monica was about to leave, he reached out to hold her hand anxiously. "Let her go!" A voice suddenly sounded. Before Zoe could react, he was pushed to the ground. Seeing that, Zoe''s driver jumped out. "Are you alright, mayor?" "I''m fine!1'' Zoe answered. The driver was tall and strong. He was relieved to hear that the mayor was fine, but he didn''t intend to let go of Rnd. He reached out to grab him, but Zoe quickly stopped him. Rnd didn''t appreciate it. He was in a good mood today. After winning the bid, he took all the people to the hotel to have a feast. After that, he found Monica was not there. Beck told him that she was not feeling well and went home early. Rnd felt unease, so he asked Beck to take everyone to the carnival, and he drove to Monica''s house. When he arrived, he saw Zoe''s car driving into the hall. When he saw Zoe, he was shocked. What was he doing here? Instead of driving the car in, he walked in and saw Zoe and Monica talking. Upon hearing some words about apologies, he was going to explode. This old lecher, he actually wanted to bully Monica. Fortunately, he came today. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Seeing Zoe grab Monica''s hand, he couldn''t help rushing out and pushing Zoe down. Monica was also shocked by his sudden appearance. "Why are you here?" "If I hadn''te, I wouldn''t have known that there would be such a good show here." Rnd said in a cold voice, "Why did Mayor Jane grab my girlfriend''s handte at night?" Before Zoe spoke, Monica spoke first, "Who is your girlfriend?" "Moni, you don''t have to be afraid of him. Not to mention that he is only a mayor, I am not afraid of him even if he is a governor. How dare he have an affair outside. Wait and see how will I deal with him!" Monica was shocked when she heard Rnd''s words. How did Rnd know her rtionship with Zoe? As soon as her mother died, Madrigal and her daughter appeared. At first, she thought that her father would marry again, butter she knew that Madrigal was Zoe''s biological daughter. Madrigal was only a few years younger than her, so she knew very well that Zoe had cheated on her mother. Monica was very disappointed, so she refused to admit that she had such a father, and resolutely returned to her uncle''s side. When she left, Zoe took office in A City, so few people knew about her identity. Zoe''s official career had been smooth recently. It was not good for him if her identity was spread out. After all, Yale was his mistress. If a person who was in charge of a position was reported to have a mistress, his political life would be over. But why did Rnd do that? What did this have to do with him? Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Monica misunderstood, but Zoe didn''t. Rnd misunderstood his rtionship with Monica. Looking at his angry look, Zoe understood that he liked Monica. Rnd was handsome, and the Wang family was a big family. Rnd could be a nice choice for Monica. But how could he tell Rnd about his rtionship with Monica? At that time, Monica insisted on leaving him and he was in a dilemma because of Monica and Yale. Moreover, he heard that someone was going to deal with him, therefore, he did not stop Monica from transferring to Xanjer''s family and changing her first name. However, what''s done is done. Since he let her go, they had been strangers. He knew that Monica had been bullied by Jenny. She did not mention the rtionship with him at that time, let alone now. Zoe was in a dilemma, but Monica urged him to leave, saying that she would handle everything. He hesitated for a moment and then left. Seeing him leave, Rnd said angrily, "You pretend to be innocent, but in fact you''re not. If I didn''t see it tonight, I don''t know how long I''m going to be fooled." "What do you mean?" Monica was confused. "Tell me, what benefit did Zoe give you? How did you hook up with him?" "What... what nonsense are you talking about?" Monica was so angry that she couldn''t even speak properly. "You are still lying! Go ahead, as long as I hand it over, everyone knows that I''m not talking nonsense." Rnd proudly lit his mobile phone in his hand. "Zoe is Quarmy''s father-inw. I was worried about This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. how to deal with him, but I didn''t expect him to give me the chance. I just recorded your conversation just now, and now I''m waiting for him topromise." "Rnd, why are you so mean?" Monica was so anxious that she really wanted to p him. Who said that Rnd was a yboy? How many people could be more sneaky than him? "You''re protecting him?" Rnd was a little angry, "He is old enough to be your father, and he has a family. Why do you protect him?" "Our rtionship is not what you think it is." "Then what it is?" Rnd asked. "It''s hard to say. I''ll tell youter." "No! Say it now, or I''ll report him tomorrow." Rnd was not soft at all. He was really angry to see her defending Zoe. "I hate him for taking my wife. He dares to covet my woman, I''ll kill him!" "Taking your wife? Rnd, what nonsense are you talking about?" "Monica, no matter what you think, I have to make it clear that you are the woman I like. No one can covet the woman I like, not even the most powerful man!" Rnd was not a normal person at all. It did not work to talk to him in a normal way. Monica was so angry that she stamped her feet. "He... he is my father." "What did you say?" Rnd thought there was something wrong with his ears. "Yourst name is Mo, and his is Jane?" "My mother''sst name is Mo!" "How is it possible?" Rnd stared at Monica in surprise for a while. "You... are you an illegitimate daughter?" Chapter 39 Chapter 39 "You''re the illegitimate son!" Monica interrupted him. "If you''re not an illegitimate daughter, why nobody knows the rtionship between you and Mayor Jane?" Rnd asked. "This has nothing to do with you, so don''t ask." Monica didn''t have the patience to exin this to him. Rnd suddenly remembered something. "Monica, no wonder you know so many inside stories about the bidding. Did Zoe tell you that?" "Yes." Monica nodded. "Rnd, I''ve already helped you to get what you want. You have to keep the rtionship between me and Zoe a secret. You''d better not let the third one know." "No way!" Rnd answered firmly with an evil smile on his face. "Why?" "If you want me to keep it a secret, you have to promise me one thing." Rnd was insatiable. Monica had a headache. Rnd, the yboy, did not y ording tomon sense at all. D*mn, he got her. "Promise what? Rnd, I warn you not to be insatiable!" "Monica, it''s easy. If you promise to be my girlfriend, I won''t say anything." "Is there anything wrong with your brain?" "No, I''m serious." Rnd smiled and said, "I have a big mouth, and I can''t keep the news from others. But if you''re my girlfriend, it''s different. I will protect you and not reveal our family''s scandal." "Do you want me to be your girlfriend because Zoe is the mayor?" "Of course not." Rnd denied. "You are my cup of tea. You know that I''m always immune to beautiful women." His honest words made Monica''s headache even more. This yboy''s obsession with beautiful women was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. But if he knew that she was divorced and had children, he would definitely give up on her. So she said, "Rnd, I am a divorced woman. Don''t you mind that?" "You divorced?" Rnd was really surprised. He looked up and down at Monica with a weird look. "Why did you divorce?" "This is not a matter of discussion. I only tell you that I am a divorced woman. Can you ept it?" "No!" Rnd was disappointed. Monica breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that this would be the result. With the pride of Rnd and his family background, how could he want a divorced woman? However, Rnd immediately raised another question. "Monica, you didn''t make it up on purpose to reject me, did you? I don''t believe you are a divorced woman unless you can prove that." "I''m not just divorced. I have a child. Do you remember the little boy beside Leon, Coco? He is my child." Rnd widened his eyes. He had seen Coco before. At that time, he was very curious about that child. He asked Leon but he didn''t say anything. He just said that it was a friend''s child, but he didn''t expect that this friend was Monica. "Monica, I want to know why you divorced." "He cheated on me!" Monica answered. "That man is blind!" Rnd sighed. How could he cheat on such a good woman? How lucky he was! "It''s all in the past. Rnd, please keep it a secret for me. It''s not only about Zoe but also about my This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. divorce and my child. Don''t tell anyone." Rnd answered sullenly. Today was a good day for him, but why was he not happy? Compared to the city construction, he would rather have Monica! What kind of man would be willing to divorce her? When Rnd left, he looked at Monica again. Under the dim streetmp, she looked so thin. He did not know why, but he had an impulse to hold her in his arms. Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Yale and Madrigal waited until nine o''clock in the evening before Zoe came back. As usual, Yale immediately prepared slippers and tea for him. But Madrigal was not as smart as her mother. "Dad, what happened to the city construction project?" "What?" Zoe was about to drink tea, but he put down the cup in his hand. "Madrigal is being anxious. You know, Quarmy has been preparing for it for a long time, and Jenny has been calling Madrigal to ask about the reason, but Madrigal doesn''t know how to answer her." Yale said. Zoe sneered. "Why did Jenny ask you for the reason? The bidding is a matter of the municipal party Zoe was unhappy to hear Jenny''s name so he said it in an impolite manner. Madrigal didn''t know what to say after being asked by him. Yale quickly exined, "She may want to get some information from you..." "The bidding is carried out in a fair and just way. If she has any questions, she can question the City Construction Bureau and the municipal partymittee, she will be answered by a special person. Why did she ask you guys?" Zoe was not a fool. He knew exactly what Jenny was up to. She liked Madrigal because of his position. Everyone knew that Mayor Jane''s daughter was Quarmy''s girlfriend. But three years had passed, N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Quarmy didn''t mention the engagement with Madrigal. If he didn''te personally to talk to Jenny this time, he didn''t know when they would be engaged. Zoe was angry when he thought of this. If Madrigal had not been pregnant with Quarmy''s child and was obsessed with him, he would never agree to their marriage. The Huo Family had already ruined one of his daughters. Did they still want to ruin the other? The most important thing was that people should not be too greedy. Quarmy had gotten more than half of the projects of Jiang City. Did he have to hold all of them in his hands? Did he give others a chance to live? "Don''t be angry, Zoe! I''m sorry." Seeing Zoe''s angry face, Yale hurriedly smiled and reached out to massage his shoulders. "Did you encounter something unhappy today?" "No!" Zoe softened his tone and looked at Madrigal. "Jenny is not a good person. She used to be so vicious to Moni, and she may not be sincere to you. As for Quarmy, he is also not a good person. If they are dissatisfied with you because of the city construction, I think there is no need for you to marry him. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. Why are you so obsessed with him?" "Quarmy didn''t say anything. Madrigal was worried so she wanted to ask you about the situation." "Do you think I''m a fool?" Zoe sneered. "I know that love is not something that can be controlled. I just want to remind Madrigal that if Quarmy agrees to be engaged to you because of the project, have you ever thought about that will he still want you without me? I can''t hold an important position all my life. If I don''t take office, can you guarantee that your marriage will not be the same as Moni''s?" Madrigal lowered her head without saying a word, and Yale continued to exin. "Don''t worry, Quarmy treats Madrigal well. Didn''t he divorce Moni because she couldn''t bear children? Madrigal can, so as long as she has children..." Zoe sighed and looked at Madrigal. Monica''s marriage with Quarmy did end because of it. If Monica could have children, things would have been different. He nced at Yale. Their situation was also the same. If it weren''t for Madrigal, he wouldn''t have married Yale and let Monica be wronged. He hoped Quarmy would be the same as himself! Chapter 41 Chapter 41 After being scolded by Zoe, Madrigal sat alone in the room and cried silently. Yale opened the door and gave her a bowl of snacks. She felt very wronged. "Mom! Why is dad so partial? He only cares about Monica, why doesn''t he care about me? How can I face Quarmy and Auntie Huo?" "You''re so useless!" Yale red at her. "Can''t you stand such a little grievance? Did you forget what I taught you before?" "I just feel sad. How can dad do this?" "Madrigal, people who achieve great things don''t care about trifles. If you can''t even stand such a little grievance, I really don''t think it''s necessary for you to marry into the Huo family." Yale added. "Mom, even you said that to me?" "Is the Huo family an ordinary family? Is Jenny an ordinary person? Look at how she tortured Monica back then. Isn''t she more difficult than your father?" "I..." Madrigal had nothing to say for a while. Compared with Jenny, Zoe was already kind. "Madrigal, I''ve already thought about this matter. I''ll tell them what your dad said. The Wang family is an overseas investment. The municipal partymittee gave the city construction project to them in order to introduce more overseas funds,." N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. "Will they believe it?" "They have to believe it. Let me tell you, now you are the daughter of the mayor. Jenny dares not do anything to you, understand?" Madrigal nodded. She knew in her heart that Jenny liked her not because of her beauty and gentleness, but because of Zoe. But Monica was still her eyesore. "Mom, do you think Monica will "I don''t know. I''m also thinking about it." " What I''m most worried about now is hering back. If shees back and Quarmy knows her identity, will he cancel the engagement?" "Let''s take it one step at a time. I''ll deal with the city construction project first when I meet Jenny tomorrow." Yale also felt upset. Yale knew that Jenny would not believe her exnation, but Jenny didn''t dare to say anything unpleasant. With Zoe around, she had to be polite to Yale. It was impossible to change the result. Jenny hoped that Zoe would give her a good opportunity in the future so she did not embarrass Yale at all. After saying goodbye to Yale, Jenny had an appointment to have dinner with her son. Unexpectedly, she saw Monica in the restaurant, who sat in a ce close to her for dinner. Jenny didn''t expect that Monica would appear in such a high-end restaurant, so she looked at her for a few more times. When Monica was cleaned out of the house, she took back the wedding ring she had given Quarmy. It didn''t take long for the ring to appear in the pawn shop. It was just a ring for a few thousand yuan. It could be imagined how poor she Jenny always thought that Monica would live a poor life, but her current appearance was quite different from what she had imagined. Although her clothes were not luxury, they were not cheap. The most important thing was that this high-end restaurant was not essible to ordinary people. Did she marry a rich man? Monica was beautiful and had the ability to marry a rich man. But wasn''t she unable to give birth? It was very difficult for a woman like her to establish herself in a rich and powerful family. Jenny thought of one word, mistress. That was the only exnation. Thinking that Monica might be a lover for a man with a paunchy belly, she suddenly felt a little happy. Weren''t you arrogant? Didn''t you want to oppose me? You must have had a bad time after you left the Huo family, right? While she was being happy, she suddenly saw a young and tall figure walking toward Monica. Then her joy disappeared immediately because she saw the man sitting opposite Monica. Chapter 42 Chapter 42 After the man sat down, Jenny saw his appearance clearly. It turned out to be Rnd whopeted with Quarmy for the project. Rnd was no worse than Quarmy in appearance and family background. The only bad thing was that he was a yboy. It seemed that Monica was one of his lovers, which made Jenny feelfortable again. When she was in a good mood, Quarmy also came. He went straight to her and said, "Mom, sorry, I''m a littlete." "I just arrived." Jenny said and subconsciously nced at the position of Monica. Her son probably didn''t know Monica hade back, did he? Thinking of this, Quarmy followed her gaze and found Monica. Jenny''s intuition told her that things C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. would go out of control, but she didn''t expect Quarmy to look away calmly, as if he didn''t see Monica at all. "Mom, what do you want to eat?" Jenny was so excited that her son finally let go! She could also be relieved. Because of her excitement, her voice changed a little. "Whatever, you can order what you want." Rnd didn''t sleep well all night. Thinking that Monica was divorced and cheated by a man, he felt more depressed. He was not a gossipy person, but he was very curious about the identity of that man. He held back all morning and felt embarrassed to ask. Now it was time for dinner. The Wang family rules didn''t allow people to speak during meals, he also had a habit of eating without speaking, but he finally couldn''t control himself. "Monica, I am very curious about the identity of your ex-husband. Is he also from Jiang City?" Monica had long discovered the weirdness of Rnd, but she didn''t expect that he was being curious about it. She answered faintly, "No." "Did you and him get married because of love?" "Sort of?" Rnd was a little jealous. "Why did he cheat?" "Do men still need a reason to cheat?" Monica sneered. "Why don''t you mention him? Is he the pain in your heart?" "Love hurts. I don''t love him anymore. Where did the paine from?" Monica asked. Quarmy didn''t expect Rnd to discuss this topic with Monica. He heard it clearly and his face suddenly changed. She said that she no longer loved him. She was really ruthless! "I''m very curious about that man''s name. Can you tell me?" "No." Monica put down the tableware. "He''s just an insignificant person. Why do you ask?" "I want to beat him up!" Rnd told the truth. "I''ll beat such a heartless man every time I see him!" "Sounds like you''re not heartless." Monica chuckled. "I am indeed a yboy. But if I get married, I will treat my wife well." Monica shook her head. "Men will say that before they get married." "I''m not that kind of person, really!" Rnd was a little anxious when he saw that she did not believe him. "I can prove it to you." Rnd''s words sounded like a proposal. Quarmy suddenly stood up and walked towards Rnd. "Mr. Wang!" Rnd looked up and said, "Mr. Huo is also here for dinner?" Then he saw Jenny. When he was a child, he once saw Jenny. Out of politeness, he got up and came over. "Hello, Aunt Sun!" Jenny nodded and smiled, but she still looked at Monica. Monica acted as if she didn''t see them. She slowly picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth. Her arrogant manner made Jenny feel very annoyed. "Rnd, this is?" Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Rnd looked at Monica and said, "Monica,e on, let me introduce you." Monica stood up and picked up her bag casually. Instead of walking towards Jenny, she walked toward the door and said, "Rnd, take your time. I''ll wait for you at the door!" This was an act of utmost rudeness. Jenny and Quarmy''s faces became ugly. Rnd also knew that it was not appropriate. Monica had always been a very tolerant person. Why would she treat Jenny like this? He couldn''t think of any reason and smiled at Jenny. "She is a little afraid of strangers. Aunt Sun, don''t me her!" Jenny was stunned. If Monica was just an ordinary lover, she would definitely not dare to act like that, and Rnd would not be so tolerant. She suddenly felt very ufortable. It was all Monica''s fault. "Although we haven''t been in contact for a long time, as an elder, I have to remind you that you should not date a woman who has divorced." "Thank you for reminding me, Aunt Sun. But unlike others, Moni is gentle and kind. She just met bad people." This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Quarmy''s face darkened. Jenny didn''t expect Rnd to give such an answer. What had been intended to denigrate Monica was swallowed back. Rnd said a few more words before he went to catch up with Monica. Seeing his figure disappear, Jenny snorted coldly. "See, this is the wife you found before. She''s so ignorant. Rnd is really blind." After she finished scolding, she found that she even scolded her son, so she added, "Fortunately, you moved on, otherwise I don''t know how long you will be harmed by her." Quarmy said nothing. He always thought that Rnd was not serious, but he didn''t expect that he had such a high evaluation of Monica. Rnd was handsome and unrestrained, and he knew how to please women... Suddenly, he felt extremely ufortable. Jenny didn''t know what her son was thinking. "Quarmy, go to the Jane family more often if you ^ ^ ^ ii can. "For what?" Quarmy asked. "Improve your rtionship with Madrigal and Zoe." Jenny said earnestly, "Quarmy, I think he didn''t help you this time because he was dissatisfied with you. You and Madrigal have dated for three years. It''s inevitable for him to be anxious." "Haven''t we already decided the date of engagement? What else is he dissatisfied with?" Quarmy was a little impatient. Seeing her son''s impatient face, Jenny had to shut up. Rnd caught up with Monica at the door of the elevator. "What''s going on?" "What do you mean?" Monica asked on purpose. "You didn''t respect me just now." Heined. "Moni, why did you do that? Not to mention that Quarmy saved you that night, his mother is your elder. You shouldn''t have left like this. It''s very rude." "She is my elder?" Monica remembered what Jenny had done to her and hatred appeared in her eyes. "I feel ufortable when I see that woman. As for Quarmy, do you think he really wanted to save me?" Looking at Monica''s sneer, Rnd suddenly remembered the rtionship between Quarmy and Madrigal. "Did Quarmy save you because you are the daughter of Mayor Jane?" "I don''t know!" Rnd frowned, and the posture of Quarmy and Monica appeared in front of him. At that time, Quarmy seemed to be holding Monica in his arms. "Moni, do you know Quarmy before?" "I know him, he doesn''t know me!" Monica answered quickly. Rnd frowned slightly, as if he had missed something. Chapter 44 Chapter 44 The first episode of Dating Reality Show was very well viewed when it was on the air. On the first day, the audience''s ratings reached seven points. The next day, all the social media were talking about Dating Reality Show. The propaganda team was very strong. Forums, Weibo and many Inte celebrities were promoting it, which made it hard to be unpopr. Yale had nothing to do at home, and she became interested in the rey of the Dating Reality Show. While she was watching it with great interest, Madrigal came down from the upstairs and sat down beside her. "Mom, I am so bored." "Go shopping with someone." Yale stared at the TV. "It''s boring. I''ve visited all ces in Jiang City." "Then go to water therapy?" "Mom!" Seeing that her mother was focusing on TV, Madrigal was a little unhappy. "Why don''t you talk to me? What''s so great about TV?" "This program is interesting," Yale replied. Madrigal nced at the TV, and the camera just passed through a female guest. She suddenly opened her eyes wide. "Mom, that person seems to be Monica?" "What?" Yale was stunned. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. "Turn it back! Turn it back quickly!" Madrigal snatched the remote control from Yale''s hand and turned it back. The picture was fixed on Monica. She eximed, "Mom, her name is Monica!" Yale didn''t pay much attention to it before, and now she also turned her eyes to the No. 5 female guest. Because the No.5 female guest was never wanted, she didn''t pay much attention to her. After being reminded, she found that the name of the guest was indeed Monica. Monica went on a blind date? The mother and daughter looked at each other. Yale reacted first. "Could it be that they have the same name?" "I can''t see her face with a mask, but her figure and the shape of her face are very simr to Monica''s." "No, it''s not Monica. Look at her. Monica is so beautiful, how could she wear something so disgusting?" Yale denied. "Let''s take a look at her personal information first." Madrigal continued to turn it back to the part where the female guests introduced themselves. Monica''s information said that she was a twenty-eight- year- old employee. She once had an unfortunate marriage, and now she was the mother of a three- year- old child. She had been hurt in marriage, and her request was that the man should not lie and she preferred men without mothers. Most of her information was true. She really wanted to find a father for Coco. However, she was worried that men would choose her because of her appearance, so she deliberately wore braces to make herself look a little ugly. If there was still someone who chose her, then they would definitely not judge people by appearance. In addition, Coco was actually younger. As for her request, it was her real thought. As long as he was single- minded without a mother, she would be satisfied. Her life with Quarmy and Jenny made her suffer too much. She already had a feeling of fear for mothers-inw. "It shouldn''t be Monica. How could Monica have a three- year- old child?" Yale finished reading the information. Monica and Quarmy had only divorced for three years. How could her child be three-year- old? "But why do they look so simr?" Madrigal muttered, "Although she''s got braces, I still think so. Is the child adopted?" "Well, let''s stop thinking about this. Whether she is Monica or not has nothing to do with us. If you are bored, let me apany you out for a walk, shall I?" "Mom, I don''t want to go out. I just want you to let Dad invite Quarmy to dinner tonight." Yale was naturally clear about her daughter''s thoughts. She sighed and said, "Okay! I''ll call your dad." Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Rnd had been very happy to get the city construction project recently. He would have gone to a nightclub to celebrate. But since he knew Monica''s identity, he had lost his desire to celebrate. He only stayed in his apartment, which made Beck feel very strange. Mr. Wang had changed so much recently that he didn''t even go to the night club to have fun. At first, Beck thought that Rnd just wanted to keep his energy up, but after a few days, he knew that something he didn''t know must have happened. As the special assistant appointed by Old Mr. Wang to Rnd, he naturally had to pay attention to every move of Rnd, so he just wanted to figure out why he changed. However, no matter how hard he tried, there was no way for him to figure it out. When Rnd was working, he was vigorous, but when he got off work, he became spiritless. Rnd didn''t know why, either. He felt that he seemed to have a strange disease. When it came to working, he became happy. When he got off work, he was exhausted. Did he get a work disease? But he had never heard of such a disease. Beck finally understood the reason when Monica asked for leave for three days. Mr. Wang was in low spirits all day long and kept calling Monica. Beck reminded him several times that Monica had asked for a leave, but he just couldn''t remember it. Rnd left thepany in a hurry before it was time to leave, and drove to the small apartment where Monica lived. However, he didn''t see Monica until it was dark outside. Her phone was turned off. He couldn''t help knocking on the door, but it was Xanjer who opened the door. When he saw Rnd, he was shocked. "Mr. Wang, why are you here?" "Where''s Monica?" Rnd looked around the room, but he still didn''t see her. His face suddenly darkened. "Why can''t I get her on the phone?" "What''s the matter, Mr. Wang?" Xanjer saw that he did not look happy, so he thought that he might have something urgent. "Of course it''s an urgent matter. I can''t tell you." Rnd exined. "Where''s she?" "Well..." Xanjer hesitated. Monica didn''t tell others about the program thing, so Rnd certainly had no This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. idea about it. Should he tell him or not? "Cut the crap. Tell me where she went!" When Rnd saw Xanjer hesitate, he immediately asked, "Let me tell you, I really have something very important this time." "Moni went to the station to participate in a program." Xanjer was really afraid that there was something important, so he had to tell the truth. "A program? What it is?" "A blind date program." "This woman!" Rnd''s face darkened. He was being upset here, but this woman was on a blind date program! She was deliberately against him, and she wanted to p*ss him off! He turned around unpleasantly without saying a word. The simple stairs of the apartment were stamped hard by him. He ran downstairs, turned around, and went upstairs to knock the door again. "What''s the name of the program?" Xanjer told him the name of the program. Rnd went downstairs again with a dark face. On the way back, he cursed indignantly, "You heartless woman, how dare you do it behind my back! Come back and see how I will punish you!" He was still angry when he thought of it, so he called Beck. "Do you know the Dating Reality Show held by the TV station of Jiang City?" "Why do you ask this?" Beck was as busy as a spinning top every day, so he had no time to pay attention to variety shows. "What do you do for a living? You don''t even know a blind date program!" Rnd hung up the phone with curses. Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Beck felt that he was wronged. Mr. Wang was typically being unreasonable, but he couldn''t do anything because Mr. Wang was his boss. He didn''t know what was wrong with this blind date program, so he decided to watch it. Dating Reality Show was so popr that Beck certainly had heard about it. He just wondered why Mr. Wang cared about this show. When he got home, he immediately turned on theputer and searched the program. When he saw Monica wearing braces on the screen, he thought he was mistaken. Right, her name was Monica, and her figure looked really familiar. It was just her braces looked weird. Why did Special assistant Mo make herself look like this? Beck felt it was incredible. Monica was really weird. She was a great beauty, but she turned into an ordinary woman when she came to Mr. Wang''s side. The others dressed up beautifully for the program, but she actually got braces and described herself as a single mother. Wait, was Special assistant Mo a single mother? Beck was dumbfounded. Was this true or not? She looked so young, how could she be a mother? Was it deliberately arranged by the program? Beck naturally couldn''t figure it out, so he called Rnd, "Mr. Wang, I saw Special assistant Mo in the blind date program." C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. "I''m not blind!" Rnd roared back fiercely. When he got home, he immediately turned on theputer and searched for the program. Seeing Monica turn herself into such a state, he somehow felt a little better. However, when he saw that nobody chose Monica, he was furious. What the hell? Was there something wrong with these men''s eyes? Such a beautiful woman was standing there, but they chose those ugly women. What a blind eye! When he scolded those men here, he naturally did not think that he was the same as them. When Rnd was thinking about it, Beck called him. He picked up the phone and scolded angrily, "Son of a b*tch. Are they blind? Monica is also a disgrace. It''s so embarrassing for her to stand there without being wanted! She''s embarrassing me! I am so angry!" "What does it have to do with you?" Beck did not dare to say these words, he just echoed. "Yes, those men are blind. She is obviously a beauty, but they can''t notice it!" Rnd suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his words. He did not feel strange before, but after hearing what Beck said, he thought Beck was scolding him. "You b*stard, you scold me?" He asked. "Boss, what do you mean?" Beck felt wronged. "In the past, I didn''t find out that Monica was a great beauty. Are you talking about this?" Rnd was unreasonable. "Mr. Wang, I dare not scold you even if you ask me to!" "Of course you dare not, otherwise I won''t let you go. You must say that in your heart!" "No! I really don''t!" Beckined secretly. He was not stupid. He finally understood why Rnd had been so weird these days. It seemed that it had something to do with Monica. Rnd was so angry that he couldn''t stand it anymore. These d*mned men dared to ignore Monica. They didn''t even want to choose her at all. He had to think of a way to help Monica. He had to let these stupid men regret. But how? Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Rnd didn''t hang up the phone, so Beck did not dare to hang on him. Rnd kept cursing those men. "Stupid guys, who do you think you are? I will make you regret your blindness!" Beck couldn''t help but interrupt. "Mr. Wang, they don''t choose Monica because she is a single mother and her braces make her look ugly." "Don''t I know that?" Rnd snorted. "I have to find a way to let Monica take off her mask and make everyone regret it!" "Isn''t it easy? Why don''t we find someone to participate in the program and choose Monica?" His words made Rnd''s eyes brighten. "I''ve got an idea!" The second episodested for a total of three days. On the first day, Monica was still not wanted. She was calm, but Summer was not. During lunchtime, she had been cursing those men, as if she was the one who had been wronged. At noon, Summer was still cursing, but at night, she became happily. "Do you have any good news?" Monica felt strange. "Yes!" Summer answered and looked at Monica up and down for a while. "Moni, have you ever thought about bing famous?" "Famous? Me?" Monica pointed to her nose and touched Summer''s forehead. "Summer, you didn''t have a fever, did you?" "No!" Summer took her hand. "Moni, you must be mentally prepared. I think you will upy the front pages of the major media soon." "Why?" "It''s a secret. You''ll know it soon. You''d better get ready and don''t be scared." Summer didn''t want to tell her. Monica thought that she was talking nonsense and ignored her. The next morning, Monica entered the broadcast hall of the TV station as usual. When she stood in her own position, she found that there was a missing person on the male guest seats. She felt a little strange. She heard from Summer that the program was very popr and there were a lot of people who wanted to participate in it. Why was one person missing? The show officially began. As the prelude sounded, the host entered the venue. There was no change in the host''s opening words. But after finishing the opening words, the host changed the subject, "Today is the third episode of our program. After the first episode, our program has been very popr. How popr is it? Our staff has been working overtime for several days to register and select because of therge number of applicants." The host paused for a moment and pointed to the empty male guest seat. "Isn''t it strange that there is one less person in the male guest seat? It''s not because our program is not popr and no one The male guests who participated in this show were all elites, and the program group had treated them C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. equally. Now an awesome male guest was going to fight alone, which aroused everyone''s curiosity. How awesome was this guest? The host didn''t keep everyone guessing. Instead, he began to introduce the male guest as if he was reading lines. "He graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the age of 22, received an MBA from Harvard at the age of 25, and a DBA from Harvard at the age of 28. During his doctoral studies, he served as an executive director of threepanies, a permanent director of onepany, and was responsible for the development of anotherpany. Have you ever seen such an awesome man?" The audience shook their heads. "Today, let me show you the awesome guy I just mentioned. Please wee Mr. Rnd Wang!" Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Monica was also looking forward to seeing this man at first, but when she heard his name, she was dumbfounded. Why did this guye to this show? The key was that she always thought that he was a real yboy, and she had never heard of what the host said. While she was thinking, Rnd appeared on the stage in casual clothes. He was already handsome and sunny, and his appearance attracted everyone''s attention. Monica heard the female guests on both sides eximed, "He is tall and handsome, and rich! A rich bachelor! The real rich bachelor!" A rich bachelor? Monica didn''t agree. He was more like a yboy in her heart. If they were to know about his affair, would they still be surprised? Thinking of this, she saw Mr. Prince, who was usually not serious, sit down. She was used to seeing Rnd ying the field, so when she saw him sitting opposite her in such a formal manner, she suddenly felt very strange. Because of the appearance of Rnd, the male guests around him were eclipsed. Everyone''s eyes were focused on Rnd. Those beautiful female guests on the stage began to try their best to seduce him. They couldn''t directly show their faces, but they could reveal their bodies and white skin, and seduce him by their gentle voice, right? For a time, except Monica, all the female guests on the stage began to show their charm deliberately. Rnd slightly raised his mouth and slowly moved his eyes to No.1 female guest. With that, the hearts of the audience, host, and the female guests on the stage began to beat violently. No. 1 female guest was a model who was a bit famous in the model industry, and her figure was hot to the extreme. She was invited by the TV station to attract audience. In the first episode, twenty- five male guests actually went to the stage to present flowers to her. For a moment, she became a hot topic on the Inte. Flow could that model not know Rnd? The moment she saw Rnd, she had an inexplicable idea. Could it be that he came for her? It must be so. She heard that Mr. Prince liked tall and hot women with beautiful looks, and she was one of them. When Rnd''s eyes first fell on her, she was very happy. But soon, her joy disappeared, because Mr. Prince began to look at No. 2. Although No. 2 was not as hot as No.1, she was beautiful and had soft voice. When No.2 saw Rnd looking at herself, she was This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. also excited. However, the excitement was only for a moment. Rnd''s eyes immediately swept over her and fell on No. 4. No. 3 wanted to show off, but she immediately became lifeless like a deted ball because Rnd directly ignored her. Rnd''s eyes fell on No. 4, and the corners of his mouth were raised. He winked to No.4, who almost couldn''t breathe. Monica saw all of this and felt extremely ufortable. It was a blind date program, but Rnd made it be a concubines selection. What was he doing? What on earth did he want? While she was thinking, Rnd suddenly picked up the rose in front of him. The moment he moved, the whole audience gasped. Did this young master have a crush on No. 4? Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Although No. 4 was not as charming as No. 2, she was pure and beautiful with a high education background. She was the Public Rtions Manager of arge foreignpany. Of course, she had heard of Rnd. When she saw his wink and rose, her heart was pounding. Monica had seen No. 4 in private, who was really the type that Rnd liked. But Monica didn''t like her. No.4 often looked down on other people because of her appearance and high education. Among so many female guests, she was the most difficult one to get along with. Monica once heard her talk about herself, "Why does a divorced woman with a childe to the show? I really don''t know what she is thinking. Does she regard the program as a supermarket? No one even chooses her. I really don''t know why she is so brave." She said too many such words, but Monica did not mind. She had encountered things that were ten times more embarrassing than it, and she had no time to care about some unpleasant words. Seeing that Rnd had been staring at No. 4 over and over, Monica guessed that he must have known No. 4 at work. He would work really hard to pursue the woman he liked. He must havee to cheer for her because he knew that she had participated in the program. While she was thinking, Rnd took the rose and stopped in front of No. 4. Everyone''s eyes were fixed on them. Monica thought he would give the rose to No. 4, but he did not. Instead, he asked, "Miss, do you like me?" No. 4 nodded excitedly. Rnd smiled and said, "Do you think I''ll give the rose to you?" This guy did not follow the lines given by the program group at all. No. 4 smiled shyly and said, "I''m sure I hope so." Seeing that he did not move in front of No. 4, the host thought that he did not know the process, so he reminded him, "If Mr. Wang likes No. 4, you can give the rose to her, and then she will ask you three questions. If she is satisfied with your answers, she will take off her mask for you." Rnd turned around and said, "Who said I like her ? I just think she looks like a bar girl I know." His words caused an uproar among the audience. Rnd did not care what others thought and looked at Monica with a smile. Monica thought it would be a romantic show, but she didn''t expect that he would pay attention to her. "The one I like is No.5, Miss Monica!" Rnd raised his voice, and everyone could hear it clearly. After that, he handed the rose to Monica. Monica looked at him in a daze. She didn''t realize it until he said it again. She did not take his rose. Instead, she began to ask Rnd questions. "Rnd, what do you like about me?" "Do you need a reason to fall in love with someone?" Rnd said confidently. The host tried to exin for him. "Indeed, you don''t need a reason to like someone. Mr. Wang likes Miss Monica unconditionally." "Yes! I like Miss Monica unconditionally!" Rnd echoed. Monica red at Rnd behind the mask. It was obvious that he was here to make trouble, but she had to finish the procedure. "What is Mr. Wang''s definition to love?" "Love and cherish each other." Rnd became serious. "What is Mr. Rnd''s vow to love?" "It''s enough to cherish the present love." "Thank you, Mr. Wang. Your answers are very good, but not what I want, so I''m sorry!" The audience sighed. Such a good man was really not what such an ordinary woman can have. Because of Monica''s refusal, other women saw hope. However, Rnd was not interested in others. He picked up the microphone and faced the camera. "I came here because of Miss Monica. Although she doesn''t ept my heart, I won''t give up. As long as she is on the stage, I wille back again!" Monica walked out of the hall after the recording. Rnd smiled and waited for her at the door. When This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Monica saw him, she was angry. "Rnd, what are you doing here?" "Be gentle, otherwise no good man will like you!" Facing Monica''s usation, Rnd was not angry at all. "I''m here to help you this time." "Help me? You''re making me the target of public criticism!" "Don''t worry. You''ll see the benefits soon." Rnd stretched out his hand to pull her. "I''m hungry. Apany me for a midnight snack!" Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Because of the appearance of Rnd, this program became a hot topic before it was broadcast. Many people wondered why a billionaire would be interested in a divorced single mother. Coincidentally, someone spread a photo of Monica on the Inte. Without any makeup, she looked pure and beautiful. This photo was regarded as the most beautiful photo, and was crazily reposted. Everyone knew that Monica was a great beauty and deserved to be pursued by men like Rnd. Some people even began to gossip that Monica and Rnd were actually lovers. Because the Wang family was too rich, they were separated. Monica went to the blind date program this time to let the public opinion make the Wang family give in. For a time, there were all kinds of news. Monica became a popr person. Many media wanted to interview her personally. The TV station immediately blocked all her news, iming that they would let her ept some media interviews at the right time. In the face of such a situation, Monica was stunned. She hated Rnd so much. She didn''t know what on earth he was thinking. How could he do such a thing? Now she couldn''t go out without wearing sunsses, for fear of being recognized by others. But Summer was very excited. "Moni, don''t youck money? Now that money ising to you, don''t you want it?" "I don''t want to be watched every day. I don''t have any privacy at all. What about my life?" Monica did not think so. "Don''t worry. We''ve secretly dealt with your information. There are more than a dozen people with the same name as you in this city. I won''t let you get involved." This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Monica felt a little relieved. "But where did they get my photo?" "I don''t know either." Summer replied. "Could it be Rnd who did it?" Monica shook her head. "I don''t think he has a photo of me." "Forget it, don''t investigate these things now. You''d better think about how to deal with the interview. I know that you don''t like to be interviewed, so this time it''s an interview by the internal reporter of the TV station. It will bring you a great ie after it''s broadcast." "Can I refuse it?" "No, I have already epted it. You have to do me a favor." "But I really don''t want to..." "Don''t worry. I''ll handle it." The interview was indeed an internal one that Summer had mentioned. Summer had apanied her all the way. The questions asked by the host were also very casual, mainly aiming at her mate selection criteria, recent situation and so on. Monica was looking for someone who was honest, reliable and had no mother. The host asked, "It sounds very interesting. Generally, girls choose boyfriend-to-be on the premise of being handsome and rich, while you only ask him to be reliable and honest. Why do you have such an idea?" "Tall and handsome men will be old one day. As for rich men, they can get you out of the house without giving you anything if they are upset with you." Monica answered. "So it''s better to find an honest and reliable person to spend the rest of your life in peace." "That makes sense. Then why don''t you want a mother-inw? I think that sounds very disobedient to others. After all, China is a country with filial piety." "Maybe. But no matter what others think, I insist on my idea. If there is no suitable man, I would rather not marry for the rest of my life!" "Can you tell me the reason? Is it because Miss Mo had been abused in thest marriage?" The host asked again. "I don''t want to talk about this." Monica refused. Summer interrupted, "She was not just abused. It is worse than that!" The host looked surprised. "How could there be an evil mother-inw in this era? It''s really incredible." "That''s because you''re ignorant..." "Let''s change the topic!" Monica stopped Summer, who had to shut up. At the end of the interview, the host mentioned about the divorce. "Miss Monica, why did you divorce?" "I''ll answer this question." Summer took the microphone. "Her husband cheated on her." "Summer!" Monica red at her. The host smiled to ease the situation. "That''s all for today''s interview. Thank you!" Chapter 51 Chapter 51 The news that Rnd went to a blind date program and was chasing after a divorced woman was soon spread to Old Mr. Wang. He made an overseas call to Rnd and asked, "Boy, you''ve gone too far "Do you have a lot of time to worry about something like that?" Rnd asked back. "The fox preys farthest from his hole. You have to remember it well!" Old Mr. Wang snorted. "That''s because there is no food near the fox hole!" Rnd retorted. "So you''re serious?" Old Mr. Wang felt that something was wrong with it. "I warn you, my bottom line is to ept a woman who loves you with poor family background, not a divorced woman with a child!" "What if that child is mine?" Rnd asked casually. "The child is yours?" Old Mr. Wang was stunned. His grandson was known for being a yboy. It was really possible. "If so, I have nothing to say!" Rndughed and said, "Thank you, Grandpa!" After hanging up the phone, Rnd leaned on the chair. If it was really his child, there was no need for him to be so upset. Old Mr. Wang was not easy to fool. Although he said it, he did not mean that he would ept Monica. After all, the child was not his. He rubbed his forehead. This woman seemed to be very important to him. What should he do? The newspaper about the blind date program was ced in front of Quarmy, who didn''t say a word for the whole morning with a gloomy face. He never cared about entertainment news, but he identally saw Rnd''s name. He felt so upset when he read it! This yboy was really good at winning women over. He even ignored his identity and went to a ce like that. Although Rnd failed, it was still a heavy burden for Quarmy, like a big stone pressing down on the bottom of his heart. He didn''t believe that Monica would really go on a blind date, and he didn''t believe that she was the so- called single mother. This program was arranged by Summer, so he understood very well that Monica was just helping Summer. There was only one reason why Monica agreed to go out in the limelight: She was short on money! It was hard to believe that a woman who had ignored billions of assets would be short of money, but Monica was indeed such a person. She would rather earn what she deserved by her own ability thanpromise. She must have had a hard time in the past three years, hadn''t she? He cleaned her out and left her penniless without a job. He had always thought that it would be enough to force her to return to him, but he had never expected that no matter how hard he tried, she would never turn back. She stuck to her path and never looked back. No! It wasn''t that she didn''t look back. She would look back for someone, for example, Leon. She could beg Old Mrs. Gu for Leon''s sake to keep them together, but she would never beg Quarmy''s mother for Quarmy. She could turn back again for Leon, but she would never turn back for him. This was the difference. Every time he thought of it, he would feel pain. It was said that everyone could feelpassion, but it didn''t work for Monica.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. He had married her for five years. Didn''t it mean a lot? But their five-year rtionship was no match for a few months between her and Leon! Quarmy smiled bitterly. Was he too stubborn or foolish? Or was Monica too heartless? He grabbed the newspaper on the table and slowly squeezed it into a ball. "Monica, I don''t believe that your heart is made of stone. Even if it''s made of stone, I will definitely warm it up!" "This time, I will not let you disappear from my sight again! I swear!" Chapter 52 Chapter 52 The interview was broadcast two dayster. Monica was having dinner at home. Summer called her. "Moni, there''s your interview tonight. Don''t forget to watch it." Monica was as busy as a spinning top and had no time to watch TV, so she didn''t take it seriously. But it didn''t mean that others wouldn''t take it seriously. Because of Rnd''s participation, the blind date program had been unprecedentedly popr in Jiang City. It was all the people talked about. The news media was also paying attention to it. The online media with strong public opinion naturally would not be willing to miss the chance to report this in the headlines all day long. Madrigal and Yale had to follow it. Seeing the propaganda of the online media on this matter, they felt really ufortable. They had never dreamed that Monica would be so popr because of a blind date program. It was not a good thing for them. In their hearts, they had always hoped that Monica would live a bad life and be idle for a lifetime. But now it was obviously that things didn''t go their way. After Rnd, one of the best rich men, went to the program, they found that Monica was very likely to marry into a rich and powerful family. If Monica really married into a rich and powerful family, it would put a lot of pressure on them. Of course, what they feared most was not that, but public opinion. Now the Inte was very developed, and people were very curious about Monica''s identity. They always wanted to know who she was. If they knew it, things would go out of control. If Monica''s identity was exposed, Yale''s affair would also be exposed. If people were to know things between Monica and Quarmy, and that Madrigal''s surrogacy caused Monica''s divorce, they were screwed. The most important thing was that Yale used to be a mistress. Zoe had cheated on his ex-wife, which was a fatal threat to a high-ranking official. If Zoe lost his job because of it, their happy life woulde to an end, and so would the marriage between Quarmy and Madrigal. Jenny was not an ordinary person. Without Zoe, she would never like Madrigal. She would mercilessly let her son stay away from Madrigal, just like what she had done to Monica. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Yale and her daughter were so worried, but they couldn''t tell others about it. They could only quietly follow Monica''s movements at home. They heard that there was a interview in the evening. Both of them were afraid that Monica would talk nonsense in the program. They didn''t have the mood to eat, they just sat in front of the TV waiting for the interview. The interview wasn''t only about Monica, but also about the recent popr guests. It was edited when it was broadcast, and what the audience saw was the content of being edited. Monica didn''t mention her identity when she was interviewed, and she didn''t talk much about the past. However, the program group greatly exaggerated her mate selection criteria in order to promote the publicity effect. "Monica''s slogan is looking for a motherless man!" After reading it, Yale and her daughter both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. After that, they were in a good mood. Madrigal picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. Considering all the fear they''ve been through, they hated Monica to the extreme. They had to think of a way to deal with Monica, or they would not be able to relieve the anger. Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Both Yale and Madrigal were evil-minded. Madrigal immediately thought of Monica''s mate selection This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. criteria, and her eyes lit up. "Mom, do you think this Monica is looking for trouble? She actually said that she wanted to find a motherless husband. Isn''t that against society? Although now few people are willing to live with their mothers-inw, they can''t say it out." "Yes, it''s too stupid for Monica to say that. It must be because she was hurt by Jenny at that time." Yale replied. "Even so, she still can''t say that. Won''t others attack her because of it?" Speaking of which, Madrigal sneered. "Mom, I got one. Isn''t Monica hot now? Why don''t I let someone blow her up to ruin her reputation and turn her into a negative example?" "Is that okay?" Yale was skeptical. She knew less about inte than Madrigal. "Of course, it''s a time ofwork. As long as I ask people to attack her on the Inte, she''ll definitely be a negative example!" Madrigal was happy to think about it. If it worked, Monica would immediately change from a online celebrity to a notorious negative woman. Although Yale did not know the Inte, she was moved, so she expressed her support for that. Madrigal immediately paid a lot of money to hire people online to make human attacks on Monica. They exaggerated Monica''s mate selection criteria and said that she was forcing her future husband to be ungrateful. They said that Monica must be a vicious woman without any love and her words were not credible at all. They remindedizens not to be deceived by her pure and beautiful appearance. The more innocent she was, the more dirty her heart was... Netizens were righteous and easy to cheat. Seeing these posts appear in major forums, they began to doubt Monica. With the great power of negative remarks, public opinion began to use Monica. Netizens who used to sympathize with her also began to hate and attack her because of it. The power of public opinion was strong. It could bring you to heaven and throw you to hell in one minute. Seeing Monica being criticized so badly, Madrigal held theputer andughed happily. Yale gave a thumbs up to her daughter. "My daughter is so great toe up with such a good idea." They were extremely happy. They didn''t expect that they could achieve such an effect without much effort. Monica was going down now. Poor Monica was still unaware about it. She didn''t even know that she was already attacked. Rnd received the news of Monica being attacked in the first ce. He immediately asked the public rtions team to delete those negative remarks and even shut down the ounts of many people, but the impact of this matter had been erged. Everyone asked Monica to give a direct answer, and Beck suggested her to rify it. But Rnd shook his head. Such vicious attacks could not be tolerated by a man, not to mention a woman. "We''d better not tell Monica about this, and deal with it privately." Rnd called Summer, who naturally had known these negativements. She was in a meeting with the public rtions department of the TV station to discuss how to deal with it. Rnd called her, and she indignantly told him how Monica was bullied by her evil mother-inw and her miserable life before. Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Rnd was really shocked. He had never thought that Monica would be bullied like this. He was so angry that he asked Summer about the names of that wicked mother-inw and that scum. Summer was naturally unwilling to tell him, so Rnd had to give up resentfully. However, he had alreadye up with a n to help Monica. On the same day, a post appeared online to help Monica clear up the truth. The post was written emotionally. It also reported how Monica was bullied by her mother-inw, how she was hurt by cheating, and how she was cleaned out one by one. Not only did Rnd help Monica to rify the matter, but he also found the people who attacked Monica on purpose and charge them of pushing her on the Inte. The websites which had reposted the negative remarks about Monica had all received summons from the authorities. Naturally, the websites and forums did not dare topete with Rnd. They all deleted the attack posts and reced it with an apology statement, indicating that the previous posts had been rumoring without any real evidence. The situation was reversed all of a sudden. People who started it were frightened to run away by the N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. police. Madrigal''s attack n officially failed. Therge number ofizens who used to attack Monica were very angry, especially the female the shameless mistress. Those attacking and scolding were more fierce before. Madrigal was not weak, but was still angry that she couldn''t eat all day after seeing the remarks. Yaleforted her daughter, "Let it go, we''ll find another way." Madrigal was also strong. After wilting for a day, she came up with another idea. Although she was not happy to see the situation change, it did not necessarily do no good to her. Monica''s past was exposed, andizens were scolding the three of them all day long. As the mistress, she had made it through. But what about Quarmy and Jenny? Jenny and Madrigal were not innocent, but Quarmy was. Quarmy would definitely go mad if he saw how he had been scolded. So would Jenny. She had to tell this to Jenny. Considering Jenny''s personality, it would be impossible for her let Monica go if she knew that she had suffered such a great insult. With Jenny around, it was impossible for Monica and Quarmy to be back together. Madrigal immediately told it to Jenny with grievance. Hearing this, Jenny was so angry that she almost fainted. She had always considered herself to be a nobledy, and the people around her all talked without dirty words. However,izens were neither noble nor gentle. When they encountered unhappy things, they would swear. Jenny gasped in anger when she saw the public''s vicious curses against her and her son, such as "drop dead" and "son of a b*tch". She immediately called Quarmy. "Quarmy, look at those remarks on the inte. Let Monica shut up!" Quarmy had been busy with the development of a project in other ces for the past few days. He had just returned to Jiang City, so he naturally had no time to focus on entertainment gossip. When he heard his mother''s aggressive call about this matter, he turned on theputer and looked at it on the Inte. His heart was instantly filled with anger. How could this woman be so wicked? How could she treat him like this? Quarmy grabbed his coat and rushed out of the office. Chapter 55 Chapter 55 After work, Monica was taken by Rnd to see a customer, and she did not go home until 11 o''clock. Although Rnd was a bit drunken, he still insisted on sending her off. He ordered a designated driver of the hotel to take Monica home, and then left. Monica also drank a bit and felt a little dizzy. Watching Rnd''s car leave, she turned to go upstairs. The corridor was dark and the streetlights were long broken. She had just set foot on the old stairs when a hand suddenly reached out from the darkness and grabbed her. Monica was shocked. She opened her mouth and wanted to call for help, but a hand covered her lips in time. Even though she was a bit drunk, the familiar scent still made her instantly know the identity of the person who had caught her. "Quarmy, let me go!" Quarmy had been waiting for her for a few hours, and he was already filled with anger. When he saw that Monica was sent back by Rnd, he was even more furious. In the few hours he had been waiting in the car, he had already turned on theputer and saw everything on the Inte. It was all caused by Monica''s blind date. If she hadn''t been to the d*mn blind date program, such a thing wouldn''t have happened. It was ridiculous. He actually became a jerk. In their marriage, he knew that his mother was really tough on her and he felt really sorry for her. If it weren''t for him, she wouldn''t be so wronged. His mother was that sort of old-fashioned person. Even though her words were harsh, she wasn''t bad to the extreme. His father had died early, and it was not easy for his mother to raise him and manage thepany. He was her only son and had to be filial. When she knew that Monica could not give birth, she was very disappointed. He knew that Jenny mistreated Monica, so he felt sorry for Monica. However, he had to respect Jenny because she was his mother. He couldn''t choose between love and affection, so he could only be put in a dilemma. But there was no way for him to abandon his mother. If he could abandon his own mother, was he still a human being? Monica could hate Jenny, but what right did she have to call him a scum? Quarmy, had never hurt her! Never! What right did she have to be so self-righteous?! Monica was struggling. Quarmy didn''t say anything and dragged her outside. It was dark in the alley. He hade here too many times, and he was already familiar with the way. Although Monica drank a little bit, she was very clear that she didn''t want to have anything to do with this man at all. She struggled with all her strength, grabbed him with her hands and kicked him. Herck of coordination caused him to bump into the walls on both sides several times. Since she was disobedient, he picked her up and carried her away. Soon, she was carried to the outside of the alley. Quarmy pulled open the car door and pushed her into the car. He also came in. "Quarmy, what''s wrong with you?" Monica red at him. "Why do you have to get someone to smear me?" "Smear you?" Monica was baffled. When did she do it? "You''re not joking, are you?" "Don''t deny it! Do you dare to say that thements on the Inte weren''t caused by you?" Quarmy stared at her. Monica was so busy that she didn''t look through thements on the Inte. Summer told her that someone was attacking her online, but things had been settled. ording to Quarmy, it seemed that This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. thements posted online were done by Summer. Then it was also rted to her. Monica sneered and said, "Can you be a little more specific, President Huo? What did I smear you with?" Chapter 56 Chapter 56 "You''re still pretending to be confused?" Quarmy grabbed her shoulder forcefully. "Monica, since you did it, admit it. Do you need someone else to remind you about what you''ve done?" "Quarmy, I don''t need you to remind me what I''ve done. I, Monica, didn''t do anything wrong. If you think I''m smearing you, you can sue me!" Monica rarely saw Quarmy lose his temper, so Summer must have done something big. She could not let Quarmy know that it was done by Summer. Quarmy was not an easy person to bully. If he knew it, he would definitely not spare Summer. She had to take all the responsibility. "How can you be so self- righteous?" Quarmy gnashed his teeth in anger and continued to press hard. "You hurt me!" Monica cried out in pain. "Quarmy, let''s talk this through. Take your dirty hands away!" Quarmy saw her frown and let her go. Monica stretched out her hand and stroked her aching shoulder. He stared at her with his deep eyes. "Monica, did you take part in the blind date program just for N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. attacking me?" "Attack you?" Monica was a little amused. "Quarmy, aren''t you overestimating yourself? Do you think that I am the kind of person who can''t afford to let go? I tell you, I have my own bottom line in doing things. Even if I die, I will never have the slightest interest in a man who once cheated on and hurt me. Don''t worry about that!" This was the first time she had said to Quarmy in person that he had cheated on her. Back then, when Madrigal was having a miscarriage in the hospital, Quarmy brought hiswyer home to divorce her. Without a single word, she agreed. Quarmy had thought that she had never cared about it. After three years, when he heard it from her, he felt veryplicated. He controlled himself and said, "Monica, I, Quarmy, have never hurt you. I''m telling you, I didn''t cheat on you! I didn''t have any rtionship with Madrigal!" "What''s the point of talking about this now?" Monica sneered. Madrigal used to carry his child and he still dared to say that. Did he think that she was a fool? "I''m not lying! Monica, if you have a little more trust in me, how can we be like this? I tell you, we are not innocent in the whole thing. The most innocent one is Madrigal. She''s suffered more than she should have!" Hearing that, Monica suddenly got angry. Innocent? If Madrigal was innocent, there was no guilty person in the world. Madrigal clearly knew that Quarmy was her husband, she still wanted to carry his child. She was one of the cheapest women in the world, just like her mother. It was easy to imagine how much Quarmy had been deceived when he spoke up for that b*tch. He should love Madrigal very much! Monica felt a stab in her heart. It was hard for her to calm herself down. "Quarmy, did youe to me just to clear your mistress''s name? You seem to have found the wrong person. I''m just telling the truth. If you have the ability to shutizens up, you don''t need toe to me. What''s more, it''s no use." "How can you be so cold-blooded? Are you still the Monica I know?" "Just mind your own business. It has nothing to do with you whether I am cold-blooded or not. For me, Monica, you are just a thing of the past!" Quarmy clearly saw the sarcasm on her face. Her words stimted him. He reached out his hand and held her chin. "You sharp-tongued woman, don''t regret it!" "What do you want to do?" Monica was shocked by this ambiguous posture. He had always been an animal to her before. Was he going be an animal again? "You''ll know soon!" He fiercely approached her. The two of them were so close to each other that Monica was freaked out. She reached out her hand to block him. "Stay away from me!" Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Quarmy looked at her flushed cheeks and tiny lips in confusion. He had actually forgotten why he had In the past, she used this mouth to call him over and over again. In the past, she always put her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him... This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. His brain was upied by things in the past. Suddenly, a fire sprang up in his heart. He held her chin and kissed her on the lips fiercely. Her lips were soft and sticky. That kind of feeling was wonderful! After being celibate for three years, Quarmy was like a hungry wolf, brutally kissing her delicate lips. Monica was startled by his sudden action. She sobbed and reached out to push him, but how could she push him? After restraining himself for a long time, Quarmy lost his mind and his big hand unscrupulously wandered on her body. Monica was frightened by his madness. Also, she felt disgusted. She didn''t know how many times he had sex with Madrigal. Knowing that he had already slept with another woman, she definitely wouldn''t allow him to vite her. Therefore, she used both her hands and feet to struggle desperately. She kept scratching, biting, and pping him. In the past, Monica had always been weak and delicate in his arms. But now, she was so fierce that she hit his face for countless times. He still firmly suppressed her and didn''t let her go. Monica couldn''t break free. She had the intention to die with him, so she bent her leg to kick his thing. Quarmy immediately let go of her because of pain, and she took the opportunity to open the car door to escape. Quarmy was furious. This woman was too cruel. How dare she kick his thing? She didn''t want him to live, did she? He had hurt nobody but Madrigal. He had a clear conscience to Monica. He also wanted his family to be peaceful and save her from torture. Why couldn''t she understand him? Compared to his mistake, she was even more unforgivable. What right did she have to treat him like this? Quarmy was furious. Without even thinking, he grabbed Monica and dragged her back. Due to the excessive force, Monica''s leg suddenly stuck in the door of the car, and she uttered a scream. This scream made Quarmy let go of her hand. She rolled on the ground and hugged her leg, groaning. It was too painful, as if her leg had been broken. Tears rolled down her face. Quarmy jumped out of the car and hugged her. She pped him on the face. "You b*stard! What do you want?" "Moni! Where did you hurt?" He didn''t care about the p either and asked with anxiousness. "My leg... It hurts... It hurts so much!" "I''m sorry! I didn''t mean it! I''ll send you to the hospital right away!" Monica didn''t want it at all, but it was too painful. She thought that her leg must have been broken, and the pain made tears roll down her face. Quarmy''s heart ached so much for her. He carried her into the car and drove her to the hospital. She had been groaning on the road. His heart skipped a beat every time she groaned. On the way, he called the dean and said, "My wife''s leg is injured. Arrange doctors to wait in the hospital quickly!" The dean immediately agreed and called the orthopedics doctors to wait for them. After hanging up the phone, the dean recalled Quarmy''s words. Suddenly, he felt a little strange. Wasn''t Mr. Huo still single? When did he have a wife? Right, young people nowadays all liked to call their lovers like that. Mr. Huo was not an exception. The dean suddenly wanted to gossip. Who was Mr. Huo''s wife? Chapter 58 Chapter 58 When the car arrived at the entrance of the hospital, Quarmy ran into the hospital with Monica in his arms. A famous doctor of the Department of Orthopedics had been waiting for a long time. Quarmy sent Monica into the examination room. The doctor examined her ankle, which was seriously strained and squeezed by the car door. There was a clear bruise on her white feet, which looked shocking. Quarmy med himself. "It''s all my fault! If it weren''t for me, she wouldn''t have gotten hurt!" Monica gritted her teeth with tears. In front of so many people, she was too embarrassed to cry. Quarmy stretched out his hand. "You''ll feel better if you bite my hand." "Dirty!" Monica spat out a word with hatred. Quarmy immediately washed his hands and reached over. "It''s no longer dirty!" Monica red at him. She didn''t mean that his hands had not been washed, but he had held Madrigal''s hands many times. She hated her current mentality. Since they had divorced, he was already a stranger to her. What right did she have to mind who he held hands with and slept with? She held back the disgust in her heart and bit down fiercely on Quarmy''s hand. He grimaced in pain, but he didn''t struggle. Seeing Quarmy''s reaction, the doctor gave him a thumbs up. "Mr. Huo, you''re really a hero! You''re so nice to your girlfriend!" "I''m not his girlfriend!" Monica let go of Quarmy''s hand and rified. "I''m sorry! I made a mistake!" The doctor apologized. Everyone knew that Quarmy''s girlfriend was Madrigal. How could he be so muddle-headed? "She''s my wife!" Quarmy added. The doctor''s eyes widened, but Quarmy didn''t care. He continued to stretch out his hand. "Moni, go on!" "Freak! Disgusting!" Monica turned her face away and ignored him. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. There was a rush of footsteps outside the examination room, and an urgent voice sounded, "Doctor Liu, Doctor Liu, are you in there?" Then the door was pushed open and Nee appeared at the door. At first nce, she saw Quarmy standing in the examination room and she suddenly stopped. Then, she widened her eyes after seeing Monica. Quarmy frowned. The nurse beside him said, "There''s a patient. Please leave!" Nee retreated. Her boyfriend had a fight with someone in the bar this evening and got a fracture. When he was sent to the hospital, she heard that the orthopedics expert Dr. Liu was here. She rushed over and wanted to ask Dr. Liu to treat her boyfriend, but she didn''t expect to see Quarmy and Monica here. Why would Quarmy and Monica be here? Nee''s worries about her boyfriend had been greatly dispelled by the sudden incident. Were they back together? It was impossible. Didn''t Madrigal say that she and Quarmy were about to get engaged? Could it be that she was mistaken just now and that woman wasn''t Monica? No, she had to find out the truth. If it was really Monica, she had to tell Madrigal about it. Madrigal was her boss. If she told her such big news, she would definitely thank her. Therefore, Nee didn''t go far. Instead, she stood outside and waited. After a while, the door of the inspection room opened and Quarmy walked out with Monica in his arms. Monica''s ankle was sprained. After examination, the doctor applied some neurotrophic ointment for sprained ankles and suggested her to rest at home for a few days. Quarmy breathed a sigh of relief and carried her out of the examination room. Monica was very unwilling to be carried by him. The doctor reminded them after seeing that. "Don''t move, or you will be more seriously injured." Hearing that, Monica didn''t dare to struggle and obediently let Quarmy carry her out of the examination room. Seeing that, Nee took out her phone to make a phone call. Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Madrigal was awakened by the phone in a daze. When she saw the number on the phone, she answered impatiently. "What''s the matter?" "Madrigal! Bad news!" Nee lowered her voice. "I just saw Quarmy and Monica in the hospital!" Madrigal was full of anger for being disturbed, but after hearing Nee''s words, she suddenly sat up. "Are you sure?" This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. "Yes, I saw it clearly. Quarmy left the hospital with Monica in his arms. They got in the car and left. I don''t know where they went. Madrigal, do you want to go over and check it out?" "Check it out? Do you think it''s appropriate?" Madrigal asked back fiercely. "Well... But, are we going to let them do what they want?" "Let me think about it! Let me think about it!" Madrigal muttered to herself on the phone. Did everything she worried about reallye? That night, Madrigal sat alone on bed until dawn. When she heard her mother send her father out, she opened the door and went downstairs. Seeing her daughter''s eyes, Yale felt a little strange and asked, "Did you lose your sleep?" "Mom, I want to talk to you." ncing at Lancy, who was cleaning up in the living room, Madrigal took her mother''s hand and went upstairs. Then, she told Yale what Nee said. Yale''s face suddenly became serious. She clearly knew how good the rtionship between Monica and Quarmy used to be, and why they got divorced. If the two of them found out the truth and were back together, Madrigal was screwed. This matter had to be dealt with seriously. They had to stop them from returning to their previous state. Seeing that Yale was lost in thought, Madrigal became anxious. "Mom, why don''t we tell this to Auntie Sun? She hates Monica so much, and she will definitely help us." "No!" Yale firmly denied. "Quarmy is not a fool. Back then, Jenny deceived him to let you get pregnant, and then forced him to divorce Monica with her life, which has already vited his taboo. Now, this trick is useless." "Then what should we do?" Madrigal was anxious to the extreme. "This b*tch, why doesn''t she disappear forever? Why did shee back?" Yale red at her. "Calm down. Otherwise, how can you keep your man with you?" "Mom, I know what you mean. But now, it''s not up to me. Quarmy''s heart doesn''t belong to me at all." "So what?" Yale sneered. "Didn''t your father''s heart always belong to Hannah? But now, Madam Jane is me, not Hannah. Whoeverughsst will be the winner." "You''re different from me. You have a daughter. Dad married you for my sake, but I have nothing now." Madrigal retorted. "That''s because you are stupid! You can''t handle a man for such a long time. What a waste of my efforts." Yale was also angry. "What can I do while Quarmy doesn''t even touch me?" Madrigal felt wronged. "It took me a lot of effort to convince dad to ask him to engage me. I didn''t expect this b*tch Monica to appear again. She is really cunning. She went to the TV station to have a blind date and deliberately made a fuss. Now I understand that she just wanted to use it to provoke Quarmy so that she could reunite with him!" Her words reminded Yale, whose face suddenly showed joy. "I got one!" "What is it?" "Doesn''t Monica want to go on a blind date? We can use it and give her a ''surprise''. She''ll never get out of this!" Yale''s face was full of resentment, and she whispered a few words to Madrigal. Madrigal''s anxiousness disappeared immediately, and she gave a thumbs up to her mother. "Mom is so smart!" "Of course. An old ox makes a straight furrow!" Yale was proud. Chapter 60 Chapter 60 After taking Monica downstairs to her apartment, Quarmy carried her upstairs. In the past, he had carried her up and down the stairs for countless times. At that time, her little hands were wrapped tightly around his neck as she flirted flirtatiously with him. How wonderful it had been. But now, their mood werepletely different from before. She was very resistant and very repulsive to his embrace. The woman in his embrace was not a living person, but an ice cube. This ice cube was much lighter than before. Quarmy couldn''t help but ask. "Moni, you''ve lost a lot of weight." Monica didn''t say anything. It had nothing to do with him. Seeing that she didn''t speak, Quarmy sighed deeply. Monica took out the key and opened the door. She held the door frame and stood still. "I suffered This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. because of you tonight, so I won''t say thank you. Mr. Huo, goodbye! I won''t see you again!" After saying these cold words, the door was closed ruthlessly. Quarmy looked at the old door in front of him. The door was still the door, and the person was still the person, but everything was different. Monica pushed herself back to her room. Just as she was about to go to bed, she heard the sound of the car leaving. Although it was expected, she still smiled self-deprecatingly. "Human beings are really strange animals. I still can''t let go of him even in such a situation. Do I still expect him to wait at the door like he used to?" She was really out of her mind! Ever since he allowed another woman to be pregnant with his child, the two of them were destined to be strangers. Quarmy wasn''t the previous Quarmy, and she wasn''t the previous Monica either. Everything had already passed, and they were destined not to have any more interactions. Monica took a deep breath, went to the bed andy down. "Monica! Go for it!" Although Quarmy drove out of the alley entrance, he did not leave. Instead, he parked the car on the open space of the alley. The street lights were dim at night. He sat quietly in the car and looked at the ce that he used to be familiar with. He recalled the vow in his mind. "Hold your hand and grow old with you. Monica, I remember my vow. It has always been my heart!" When Monica got up in the morning, she felt a little better, but she couldn''t go to work. Therefore, she called Rnd to ask for a leave and was ready rest for one day. Rnd arrived half an hourter. He knocked on the door loudly, and then Xanjer opened the door. He rushed in and asked. "What happened? How did you hurt your ankle?" "I identally twisted it when I went upstairsst night." Monica answered. "I''ll take you to the hospital." "I went to the hospitalst night. The doctor said it was not serious. I''ll be fine after a few days'' rest." Rnd didn''t believe it and ignored Xanjer who was watching them from the side. He carried Monica in his arms and left. Quarmy stayed in the car until dawn. He got out of the car and went to buy breakfast. When he carried the breakfast to the alley exit, he saw Rnding out in a hurry with Monica in his arms. "Why are you so heavy? Put your hands around my neck to let me save some strength. Got it?" Rnd scolded Monica as he walked. His words reminded her of Quarmy saying that she had lost weight, so she couldn''t help retorting. "I didn''t ask you to carry me. Am I really that heavy?" "Why don''t you carry me?" Monica was amused by him, and she put her arms around his neck. Rnd didn''t me her for being heavy, he just wanted to get closer to her. Seeing that, he smiled proudly. "It''s much better now!" Seeing Monica put her hands on Rnd''s neck and smiling, Quarmy felt a twinge of pain in his heart. The breakfast in his hand fell to the ground. He watched as Rnd carried her into the car and carefully fastened her seat belt. He didn''t know what Rnd said, but she reached out and pushed him a little bit. These were all his past belongings. He suddenly felt that his heart was empty. Next to him, an old man reminded him, "Young man, your breakfast has fallen off!" Quarmy didn''t say anything and strode away. After taking a few steps, he turned around and picked up the breakfast on the ground. "Monica, if you don''t eat it, I will!" Chapter 61 Chapter 61 After making sure that Monica was fine and that she could recover after a few days'' rest, Rnd was relieved and sent her home. Xanjer went to buy some vegetables, and Rnd shamelessly asked to stay for lunch. Xanjer agreed without hesitation. Rnd was so happy that he called Beck to bring a bottle of his treasured wine. Beck immediately went to Rnd''s apartment to get a bottle of Louis XIII. When Beck arrived, Xanjer had already prepared all the dishes and put them on the table. Seeing the bottle of Louis XIII, which was worth more than 100,000 yuan on the table, he reached out and took the package skillfully. "I didn''t expect to have it again in my lifetime!" Rnd looked at Xanjer subconsciously. He brought it back from France, and it was in French. How did Xanjer know that the wine was Louis XIII? Did he know French? It was impossible. English might be widely spoken, but French was not. How could Xanjer, who lived in such a poor ce, understand French? He was surprised. "How do you know it is Louis XIII?" Xanjer was stunned and smiled. "Didn''t you mention it on the phone?" Rnd did not remember that he had mentioned the name of the wine. He just asked Beck to bring his wine here without mention its name, because there was only Louis XIII in his apartment. Beck naturally did not know what Rnd was thinking. He pointed to the wine and said to Xanjer, "Mr. Wang brought this back from France on purpose. It''s over 50 years old. Basically, it''s impossible for you to get it at home." "Rnd, why are you so extravagant?" Monica cried exaggeratedly. "This expensive wine is killing me." "All you know is money. You have to know how to enjoy life!" Rnd said without hesitation. Monica looked sad. "Enjoying life is a game of the rich. As a poor guy, all I want is to be fed." "Sounds like I mistreated you." Rnd snorted. "Do you want to get a raise again?" "No! No!" Monica waved her hand. "I just don''t think it''s worth it. This wine is enough for me to live a good life for a year." Rnd looked at Monica. "You are really ayman." Xanjerughed. "Let''s eat now!" Rnd, who had been eating happily during the meal, appreciated Xanjer''s cooking very much. When he left, he sheepishly requested again, "I want to have more dinners with you guys in the future. I''ll pay for it." "Screw you! This poor ce is not worthy of you." "I''m serious." "Liar! Off you go!" Monica red at him. Rnd left with displeasure. When he got on the car, he asked Beck, "When I called you, did I mention N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Louis XIII?" "I don''t think so!" Beck answered. "Since I didn''t mention it, how did Monica''s uncle know that?" "Maybe he saw it online." "Impossible! The wine online is all in English. There are very few wines like this in French!" Rnd pondered. "Beck, do you think that Xanjer is very strange?" "What''s so strange about him?" "Although he looks very ordinary, he has a kind of refined temperament, which ispletely unable to be found in people who live in such a ce." "Love me, love my dog. You like Monica, so you like her uncle." Beck answered. "Is it just because of this?" Rnd was a little skeptical. He didn''t see himself that way. "Mr. Wang, don''t think too much. It''s impossible for Xanjer to understand French. If he knew French, how could he not be able to find a job?" That was right. Rnd had to put this matter aside. Chapter 62 Chapter 62 After Rnd left, Xanjer cleaned up the mess. Monica was injured and couldn''t help, so shey on the lounge chair and surfed the Inte. Since Quarmy scolded her fiercely before, she turned on the website of the TV station and wanted to see what had happened. Then, she was greatly shocked. Looking at the those attacking posts, and thoseizens who even threatened to investigate her ex- husband and the evil mother-inw, Monica had a headache. It seemed that the matter had developed to an unknown direction. She did not want to see it. She called Summer. "Summer, how can we make these public opinions disappear?" "I was just about to call you," Summer replied. "We didn''t expect things to turn out like this. Now, it''s not just that people want to investigate your ex-husband and the evil mother- in-w. Some posts appeared this afternoon to question you. The person who posted it imed that you did it with the TV station to make a name for yourself. It''s said that you had no evil mother-inw or ex-husband. The post was immediately reposted many times. It''s so fast that I suspect Quarmy''s involved." "Quarmy? He should not be so mean, should he?" "I don''t know. Now it is full of abuse on the Inte. Although no one knows who the evil mother and the ex- husband are, as a party involved, he must to unhappy to see those posts. He will definitely find ways to distractizens." "He came to see mest night." Monica told Summer about what happenedst night. Summer sneered, "What reason does he have toe to you? Moni, you are too kind. If I were you, I would definitely expose him. Not only will he bear the pressure of public opinion, but the mistress will also be disgraced." "Forget it, it''s all in the past. Summer, I really don''t want to have anything to do with him, do you understand?" "I know, I just feel angry. Moni, you don''t know how disgusted Quarmy is. In order to suppress the verbal attack, he even asked someone to call our chief operator and said that he didn''t invest in the program to make someone popr. The chief operator was so stressed that he held a special meeting to discuss about this matter and let everyonee up with a feasible idea." "Do you have any idea?" "It started because of you, so everyone suggested to hold a special blind date for you, so that you can be in love with a man as soon as possible. As long as you find the one and leave the program, this N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. matter will definitely be solved." Summer told Monica about the content of the meeting in the TV station. "ording to your conditions, we are going to choose candidates for you. The sigh-up announcement was made at noon, and there have been thousands of people applying. I''m confident that you can find a man who really loves you." "I hope so!" Monica sighed. Summer had done her best. It was enough. She hoped that she could find the one in so many candidates. The person who called the TV station was not Quarmy, but his assistant Noah. Noah knew thoroughly what happened between Quarmy and Monica. He was naturally unhappy to see his boss being scolded, so he called the TV station to put pressure. Because of this, the PR team of the TV station immediately changed their strategy. They began to report for Monica''s blind date. Although it reduced the scolding to the evil mother-inw and her ex- husband, it was not a good thing for Quarmy. When he turned on theputer and saw the report, he waspletely furious. He scolded Noah immediately. "Who let you call him? Are you idiot?" "I saw thosements and I was angry..." Noah felt wronged. "I''d rather be scolded than have her go on a blind date! You b*stard!" Quarmy was furious, while Noah was silent. His boss finally spoke the truth. Which man wouldn''t feel bad watching his beloved woman choose a man like a queen? It was true that Noah had done the wrong thing. He deserved to be scolded. Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Rnd was also very angry about Monica''s blind date. He sneered at her. "Amazing. You''re even popr than me now!" "It''s all because of you, isn''t it?" Monica red at him. "If you didn''t go, I would have stayed there all the time and obediently received my reward. But now, I went for wool and came back shorn." "Liar!" Rnd looked Monica up and down. "You must be very happy. After all, this is a blind date specially arranged for you. To put it crudely, you are going to pick one out of those men. Don''t you have the feeling of being a queen?" "Rnd! No ivory issues from the mouth of a dog!" Monica red at him. "Look, I went to the program and was refused by you. You have to thank me, don''t you? I get angry just thinking about it. I went out on a limb for you, but how did you treat me? You didn''t even ept my rose and made me feel ashamed. How should I face others in the future?" "Screw you!" "Monica, I''m serious. If you can''t find someone you like this time, maybe I can be your choice." "What do you mean?" "Anyway, you refused me and I''m sure I won''t be able to find a girlfriend. Why don''t we get together?" "I am a divorced woman with a child. Would Mr. Wang really want to be with me?1'' Monica reminded him. "I''m willing to suffer a loss." Rnd grinned cheekily. "Isn''t it good that I can get a son for nothing?" "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for being willing to do it. Although I''m ordinary, I''ll never force myself. Please don''t make such a joke again. Thank you." "D*mn woman, how dare you be so arrogant? Don''t take it seriously. I''m just teasing you, got it?" Rnd''s face was flushed red. This woman was really fu*king arrogant. She didn''t even want him. Rnd felt embarrassed. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Fortunately, he was just joking and testing her. If he had been serious, wouldn''t it haven been more shameful? Thinking about it, he was still angry. "Why are you standing there? I''m thirsty. Hurry up and make me tea!" Monica picked up the ss and ran out quickly. There was a "bang" behind her. Rnd smashed something on the ground. Monica sighed in her heart. This yboy was too moody. He could even change his attitude in one minute. Did she offend him by the conversation just now? Because of this incident, Rnd''s attitude toward Monica became bad. He had been keeping a sullen face these days. Men could be incredibly stingy, especially Rnd. With this lesson, Monica secretly made a decision in her heart that she must never offend him in the future. In a sh, her blind date had also begun. When she was asking for a leave from Rnd, he looked unhappy as if she owed him a lot of money. However, he still agreed in the end. Because this blind date was specially set up for Monica alone, she did not wear a mask. She appeared in the scene in a very ordinary dress. Although she was not wearing makeup, her appearance still stunned the whole audience. Her undisguised natural beauty made the audience under the stage apud for a long time. Monica sat on the seat prepared for her. She was very familiar with the stage, so she behaved very naturally. After sitting down, she naturally looked at the seats of male guests. Suddenly, she felt a little cold. She took back her gaze and subconsciously looked at the source of the coldness. She was shocked. Why was Quarmy here? Monica was nervous when she saw Quarmy. What was he doing here? Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Quarmy had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes at all. He looked coldly at the woman on the stage. When he saw her look at the male guest seats after sitting down, he felt especially upset. "Monica, are you really so eager to get married?" C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. The host started it with a smile. "After a week''s selection, we selected 50 of the 20,000 men who were the best match for Miss Mo. The blind date will be held in two sessions. VSUS will provide sponsorship for it. We have invited Mr. Quarmy Huo, the CEO of VSUS here. Let''s invite him to give a speech." Being asked to give a speech at the blind date for his ex-wife was undoubtedly the biggest irony for Quarmy. However, no matter how ironic it was, he had to do it. He wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of man this woman would choose. Quarmy walked up to the stage with his usual calm and smile on his face. He took the microphone from the host and stood beside Monica. Monica felt nervous when she saw him walking to her side. She obviously felt invisible pressure and subconsciously sped her hands. Quarmy saw it. When she was nervous, she would hold both hands together. This habit was actually maintained. Damn woman, will you still be nervous? He wanted to take the opportunity to satirize her, but because of this action, he couldn''t bear to do it. He immediately changed his words. "Although this blind date is sponsored by VSUS, it is so popr because of the appearance of beautiful Miss Mo. Ie here today to witness her happiness. I sincerely hope the program to be better and better. I also hope that people who participate in the program can find their own happiness." Monica hadn''t thought that he would stand next to her and say that. She was finally at ease. Quarmy gave her a meaningful nce and walked back to his seat. The host picked up the microphone and began to express the rules, which werepletely different from the previous ones. Everyone knew Monica''s information, so the male guests had to introduce themselves. Monica could make her decisions based on their information and her first impression of them. The male guests who failed to be chosen would leave the stage. Those who remained would go on to the second round. In the first round of self-introduction, eight people were eliminated by Monica. Looking at the eight people who had been eliminated, everyone under the stage was surprised. Because they could be said to be the best in all fields among the 25 candidates. Monica turned a blind eye to the surprise of the audience. She had already learned a painful lesson from Quarmy, so from the bottom of her heart, she did not believe men with good family backgrounds and good looks. The eight people failed because of it. In the second round, several people were eliminated. Now, there were less than ten male guests left on the stage. The third round was an interactive game, which was yed by Monica and the male guests. This game tested rapport. After that, there were only two male guests left on the stage. Thest round was the deration of love. The two male guests on the stage dered their love for Monica. In the face of their affectionate confession, Monica''s face did not change at all. Without exception, all the 25 male guests this night were eliminated. Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Seeing that Monica had eliminated all male guests, a smile finally appeared in Quarmy''s gloomy eyes. He whispered to Noah, who then stepped forward and said a few words to the host. The host then said to all the staff and guests. "Mr. Huo is going to treat everyone to a midnight snack." "What a great gift." Summer curled her lips. "However, it''s free. I have to eat a lot." Monica was amused by her words. "Quarmy has so much money. He won''t care about how much you eat." "Isn''t he a miser?" Summer sneered. "I''ve never seen such a stingy man. Grandet is better than him." "Miss Xia, who are you talking about?" A low voice was heard. They looked at Quarmy, not knowing when he was standing next to them. "Don''t you know?" Summer retorted. Monica stretched out her hand to pull her. "Summer!" She gave a fake smile and looked at Quarmy. "Thank you, Mr. Huo, for treating us." "That''s what I should do!" Quarmy retorted too. When Summer was about to scold him, Monica pulled her away quickly. When they arrived at the private room in the hotel that arranged by Quarmy, there were already a lot of people. There was a vacant seat next to Quarmy and a vacant seat next to Noah. They obviously did it on purpose. Summerughed coldly. Quarmy was inviting them into his trap, but she wouldn''t listen to him. She casually rushed towards Quarmy''s side. Noah quickly stood up to stop her. "Miss Xia, this way please!" Summer was so angry that she wanted to swear. Then, someone enthusiastically invited Monica to Quarmy''s side. Although it was said to be a midnight snack, it was the most upscale banquet in the hotel. The wine on the table was also the high-grade foreign wine which were not essible to ordinary people. They were toasting and talking, which made the atmosphere so lively. Quarmy personally picked up food for Monica, who had a forced smile on her face. "Thank you, Mr. Huo." Although she said that, she didn''t touch the food he gave her. Seeing that, Quarmy''s eyes dimmed. However, he knew how to adjust his mood and immediately raised his ss with a smile. "Let me drink a toast to Miss Mo!" "I''m sorry, I don''t drink!" Monica refused. "Today is a good day. Everyone''s happy. Miss Mo, you should also have a drink, right?" Noah advised her. Summer sneered and stood up. "Moni can''t drink. I''ll drink it on her behalf! Thank you, Mr. Huo!" After saying that, Summer raised her head and drank up. Quarmy had no choice but to drink up the wine in his ss. Summer filled her ss herself and said, "Thank you for your sponsorship, Mr. Huo. Three toasts to you. I''ll drink up first!" Without waiting for Quarmy to reply, she raised her head and drank it all in session. Summer was a woman, and she drank it so directly and efficiently. As a man, Quarmy naturally couldn''t afford to lose. He followed her and drank three cups in session. Noah''s face was gloomy. Summer knew that Quarmy had a bad stomach, so it was sure that she did it for Monica. He was unhappy, so he raised his ss. "Miss Xia''s so great. I really admire you. I''ll toast you three cups!" Summer was straightforward and immediatelypeted with Noah. Monica was so anxious that she stamped her feet. Quarmy looked at them with a smile. He knew very well how good Noah''s drinking capacity was. However, what made him shocked was that Summer was not inferior to Noah. Seeing them drinking incessantly, Monica was anxious. "Summer, drink less." How could Summer be willing to listen to her? Monica looked at Quarmy and said, "Mr. Huo, let them drink less." Quarmy was about to speak when the door to the private room was pushed open. A fragrant scent C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. wafted in first. Everyone looked to the source of the scent and saw a beautiful young woman standing at the door. Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Madrigal, with a gentle smile on her face, walked in naturally and calmly. She looked at Quarmy with tenderness. "My friend and I were having a midnight snack here. I heard that you were here, so I came over to take a look!" Actually, she was lying. Since she heard that Quarmy had gone to Monica''s blind date, she couldn''t stay calm and went to the TV station. She had been waiting at the entrance for a few hours. In the end, she saw a group of people going to the hotel and followed them. Her purpose was very simple. She wanted to keep Monica away from Quarmy. The man next to Quarmy stood up and stepped aside for her. Madrigal politely thanked him and sat down. Monica looked at Madrigal sarcastically, whose Chanel made her feel painful. Quarmy once said that Chanel was made for her, but now its owner became Madrigal. Quarmy really had a special affection for women in Chanel! Noah and Summer stopped drinking because of Madrigal''s arrival. Summer sneered and said, "Miss Jane and Mr. Huo really love each other. It''s sote and you stille to him." Madrigal pretended not to understand her sarcasm and asked Quarmy very gently, "Did you drink?" "A little bit." Quarmy replied. "I brought you some stomach pills. Take some, or you''ll have a stomachache!" "No need." Quarmy refused, ncing at Monica from the corner of his eye. Monica was trying hard to eat the crab in her hands, turning a deaf ear to the conversation between him and Madrigal. "Miss Jane, I''d like to propose a toast to you. I wish you and Mr. Huo to have more kids and grow old together!" Madrigal''s show-off immediately angered Summer, who then ced a cup of wine in front of Madrigal. "Thank you!" Madrigal took the ss and took a small sip. "But I can''t drink, sorry." "Then let Mr. Huo drink for you!" Summer refused to back down. Noah had no reason to drink for Madrigal, so he was very anxious. Madrigal looked at Quarmy with grievance. Monica put down the crab in her hands and said with a faint smile, "That''s right. Let Mr. Huo drink on behalf of Miss Jane!" Quarmy''s eyes darkened at once. This was a sign that he was about to lose his temper. Madrigal quickly picked up the ss and drank the rest of the wine. "Miss Jane, you are such a straightforward person!" Monica pped her hands. "Do you guys want to see Mr. Huo and Miss Jane to drink cross-cupped wine?" "Yes, I do!" Everyone echoed. Summer immediately presented two sses of wine. Monica filled it herself and handed one to Madrigal, while the other to Quarmy. She smiled and said, "We''re so lucky tonight!" "Is... it okay?" Madrigal looked embarrassed. "What''s wrong with that?" Quarmy''s eyes turned cold. Damn woman, I''ll let you pay! N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. He took over the ss in Monica''s hand. Madrigal shyly raised her hand, and their hands were crossed. Madrigal happily waited for this cross-cupped wine. Unexpectedly, Quarmy suddenly stretched his foot under the table and hooked Monica''s foot very urately. Monica was waiting for a good show and suddenly threw herself forward. Quarmy nimbly reached out to hold her, and with a shake of his other hand, he poured all the wine on Madrigal. "Miss Mo, are you drunk?" Quarmy looked at Monica in surprise. "I''m sorry!" Monica apologized. It was hard for her to exin it. Madrigal''s body was full of wine stains, and she looked extremely unhappy. Quarmy let go of Monica and gently wiped Madrigal down with a tissue. He then ordered Noah, "Arrange someone to send Madrigal back to change clothes!" Madrigal naturally didn''t know that Quarmy was behind all of this. She thought it was caused by Monica, so she hated her to the extreme. "D*mned bitch, just wait and see how I''m going to deal with you!" She tried her best to maintain her manners, but the wine stains all over her body still made her look bad. With unwillingness and anger, she left. Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Because of this ident, the midnight snack also ended. Monica and Summer walked out of the hotel together. Summer thought of Madrigal''s embarrassment andughed. "It''s too funny. Moni, what you did tonight makes me feel really good!" Monica knew that Summer had misunderstood. Just as she was about to exin, footsteps came from behind her. Quarmy strode over and smiled mockingly at Monica. "I really underestimated you!" As he spoke, he passed her without hesitation. "D*mn scum! How can he be so impolite?" Summer thought Quarmy was speaking for Madrigal, so she wanted to retort. Monica covered her mouth and said, "Forget it." This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Seeing that Quarmy had left, Monica finally let go of Summer. As she walked out, she repeated what Quarmy had done to her just now. Summer''s eyes widened. "What is he trying to do? Is he drunk?" "No matter what he wants to do, we''d better not provoke him. Have you forgotten what happenedst time?" Monica reminded her. "What are you afraid of? At the worst, I quit my job." "Hey!" Monica patted her on the shoulder. "It''s not worth it. You know what? He doesn''t deserve it!" When Quarmy drove out of the parking lot, he saw Rnd''s car in front of the hotel. He rolled down the window and looked at Rnd with a fake smile. "It''s sote, why is Mr. Wang still here?" "Well, what else can I do? I can''t feel at ease while my girlfriend is not at home." Rnd started bragging. Quarmy sneered. "I didn''t expect Mr. Wang to date another woman so quickly." "Mr. Huo, why did you say that? I''m a one-woman kind of guy!" Rnd was a little angry. What did Quarmy mean? He dated another woman? He just wanted Monica, okay? "But I clearly remember that Miss Mo has already rejected you. Could it be that what was said in the newspaper is all fake?" Quarmy asked. "Mr. Huo, you''re really childish. It''s just a publicity effect of the program. I haven''t changed my mind about Moni, and she has also been obsessed with me for a long time." When Rnd was lying, he lookedpletely calm. Quarmy gritted his teeth. This guy was really annoying! He sneered. "Mr. Wang, keep dreaming. I''ll take my leave first." When Monica and Summer walked out of the hotel, Rnd was already impatient. "What took you so long?" "Why are you here?" Monica asked in surprise. "Your family owns this hotel? Am I not allowed to be here?" Rnd said in a bad mood. "Mr. Wang, what makes you so mad?" Summer asked directly. Rnd red at Summer. "I''m in a bad mood today!" "Are you here to pick Moni up?" When Summer saw that he had been staring at Monica, she immediately understood. "What? Don''t think too much. I just passed by." His words sounded very unpleasant. "But since we met, I''ll give you a ride." He was obviously here to pick Moni up, but he had to deny it. This was, of course, because of what Quarmy had said just now. Rnd felt that his selfesteem had been broken. "Thank you, Mr. Wang!" Summer was a smart person. She immediately opened the car door and got in with Monica. Although Quarmy left, he did not go far. Instead, he stopped at the opposite side of the road and looked in their direction. He saw Monica and Summer getting in Rnd''s car with a smile. Thinking of Rnd''s words just now, he felt a surge of anger. Uncontrobly, he stepped on the elerator and drove away. Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Madrigal left the private room in a sorry state. In that kind of situation, if Quarmy had been willing to send her off, she would have been able to regain her dignity. However, Quarmy actually handed her over to Noah, who was also too drunk to drive. In the end, Noah found a designated driver in the hotel to send Madrigal back. This was a big shame. The more Madrigal thought about it, the angrier she got. When she got home, she mmed the door loudly. Yale naturally couldn''t sleep when her daughter wasn''t home. She was watching TV and waiting for Madrigal in the living room. When she saw the wine stains on Madrigal, she was shocked. "What''s wrong?" "It''s all because of that b*tch, Monica!" Madrigal told Yale what had happened. "I was wondering why she suddenly asked me to drink cross-cupped wine with Quarmy. It turned out that she was setting me up. It really pissed me off." "Who told you to appear on such an asion?" Yale poked her daughter''s forehead. "You asked for it yourself!" "Mom, I''m sad, don''t scold me!" Madrigal felt very wronged. "You''d better behave yourself and stop making any trouble in the next few days. I''ll avenge you." "Really?" Madrigal was doubtful. Yale sneered, "Just wait and see. I will make that b*tch Monica lose all her reputation and live in sufferings!" Madrigal naturally knew Yale''s ability, so she felt relieved and went upstairs to change clothes. The next day, Quarmy went to Monica''s blind date as usual. After 25 male guests introduced themselves, Monica''s eyes lingered on a male guest named Evan Hall for a few seconds. Quarmy had been focused on Monica the entire time. When he saw that she was paying attention to Evan, he frowned slightly. Monica would ask questions to the male guests in the second round. When she was asking Evan, she asked one more question. "I want to know your opinion on love, marriage and responsibility." "Love is a feeling between two people, it can be a life or a moment. Marriage means living together for lifetime. Responsibility is the obligation you must undertake when doing something." "Do you believe that people will fell in love at first sight?" "I believe it." "Do you think love at first sight is love?" "Strictly speaking, I don''t think love at first sight is love. It should be called passion. True love is something that happens over time. It takes two people with basically the same outlook on life and values to get along with each other, and findmon ground." Monica nodded and turned the question to the next male guest. Quarmy became unhappy. Based on his understanding of Monica, if she wasn''t interested in Evan, she definitely wouldn''t spend more time to understand him. He stared at Evan for a while. As an employee of an ordinarypany, Evan was not very handsome and could only be described as stylish. Quarmy really couldn''t find a ce where he was better than other male guests. This was the reason why he felt terrible, and Noah also felt it. He said softly, "Mr. Huo, something N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. doesn''t seem right." Quarmy nodded. "It''s up to you!" The third round was an interactive game. It was about the first experience of love - "Happiness is waiting for you on the shore of the Milky Way". The rule of the game was that the male guest should walk in the obstacles with Monica behind his back. Monica would guide him to pass through the obstacles on his back. It was a test of who had the most rapport with Monica. Evan was thest male guest to y the game with Monica. Based on others'' experience, he got the hang of it. Under Monica''s guidance, he safely passed through the obstacles and was about to reach his destination. The audience burst into a warm apuse because of their rapport. However, at this time, Evan suddenly slipped and was about to fall to the side. Seeing this, Quarmy suddenly stood up. Chapter 69 Chapter 69 The stage was covered with obstacles. If he fell down, his first reaction must be to protect himself. If Evan only cared about himself, then Monica, who was on his back, would definitely fall out of inertia. If so, the consequences would be serious. Just as Quarmy stood up, something unexpected happened. Evan didn''t only care about himself as everyone had expected. His first reaction was to protect Monica, who was on his back. Because of it, Monica was not thrown out by inertia, but continued to be kept on his back by his hands. However, Evan was not so lucky as her. He fell forward and fell heavily on the barrier. All the staff rushed up, and Evan''s forehead was scraped against the barrier. Monica was not injured but was a little frightened. Seeing that Monica wasn''t injured, Quarmy sat down again and looked at Noah coldly. Noah quickly lowered his voice and rified, "I didn''t do it! I still haven''t thought of a solution!" The staff went up to rescue them. Someone asked Evan how he was doing and if he needed a doctor. He replied, "It''s no big deal. It''s just a minor injury. I''m not that delicate!" Monica looked at the wound on his forehead and took out a handkerchief. Seeing this, Quarmy''s face darkened. Noah snorted and said, "Interesting! He was already at the finish line, yet he suddenly made such a move. There''s no oil on the stage. Why did he fall?" Quarmy''s eyes darkened, but he didn''t say anything. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Things settled down quickly. Evan insisted that he was fine and could continue the following parts. After confirming that he was fine, the program started the fourth round. In the fourth round, the male guests would dere love to Monica. Because of what happened just now, Monica kept her eyes on Evan. When he was in danger, he didn''t think about his own safety, which touched her so much. She had suffered so much that she needed such a man. Therefore, she liked Evan more and didn''t pay much attention to the other male guests. Soon, it was Evan''s turn to make a confession, and he became very excited. "I am a man without money, power or appearance. I am very excited to stand here and make a deration of love to you today." Evan''s voice was a little choked. "I don''t want to say words that are too shy, because if you choose me, our livester on will have nothing to do with shy but mundane. So my love deration is to tell you my story. "Strictly speaking, my life has been miserable so far. My father cheated on my mother and abandoned her when I was in high school. My mother could not ept this blow and chose tomit suicide, so I''ve been an orphan since I was a teenager, and went through college with the support of my rtives. After graduating from college, I fell in love with a girl in the same ss. She is a city- born pampered girl. We loved each other very much and naturally walked into the hall of marriage. At first, the marriage was very happy, and so was I. Later, because the unit where I worked was not efficient, my inws expressed their disgust at myck of ie. Coupled with some of my own reasons, my wife, with whom I was in love for three years, eventually left me. Since I married penniless, I didn''t take anything with me when I got divorced." Evan''s story and everything Monica had been through were surprisingly simr. Monica was stunned for a moment, and so was Quarmy. Chapter 70 Chapter 70 From the man''s self-introduction, Monica knew that he had something she was familiar with, so she had asked him one more question. She was very satisfied with his answer. Love at first sight was not love but passion. True love was something that happened over time. If it were in the past, she would not think so. But after all this, she couldn''t agree with it more. The marriage between her and Quarmy failed that badly because it was too good, too fairy-tale and so neglectful of humanity. She controlled herself and asked, "Do you hate your ex-wife?" "Once!" Evan answered. "Now you don''t hate her anymore?" "Yes! I don''t hate her anymore. People have to look forward. I can''t be immersed in hatred and memories all my life, so I moved on." Evan answered very calmly. "In fact, I am very grateful to her now. I thank her for once loving me and making my life so much richer." People had to look forward and couldn''t live in the past for the rest of their lives. Monica knew it, but she still couldn''t move on even though she had been hiding for three years. She still hated Quarmy and couldn''t stay calm when she faced him. It could prove that Evan was not a narrow-minded person. Of course, the reason she liked him the most wasn''t just because his experience was simr to her own. She liked him because he subconsciously protected her when he was in danger. When people were in danger, they became selfish. Monica believed that in that case, his choice was sincere. In addition, they were all people who had experienced the same hardships. She believed that people who hadThis is property ? N?velDrama.Org. something inmon couldmunicate better to avoid harm. So far the best man on stage for her was Evan. "I have one more thing to tell you." Monica took a deep breath. "The fundamental reason for my divorce is that I can''t give birth. My ex- husband cheated on me because of it. If you choose to be with me, it means we''ll be alone for the rest of our lives. Will you still want to be with me?" Quarmy''s face instantly turned ugly. Monica''s question was like a p to his face. He thought the question that she once asked him. "Quarmy, I can''t give birth. We will have no children for the rest of our lives. Even so, are you still willing to apany me forever?" His answer at the time was a resounding yes. Could it be that she asked this question deliberately because he was there? He subconsciously looked at Monica and found that she kept her eyes focused on Evan. She was waiting for his answer. Evan pondered for a while before answering, "If I say yes, you may feel my answer is too hasty. Please give me time to prove it. As long as you are with me, even without children, we will be very happy!" "So, Monica, what''s your choice?" The host asked. "I choose to start a new rtionship with Mr. Hall." Monica answered. Monica''s blind date ended sessfully. She and Evan walked off the stage with their hands together to the sound of a blessing. The audience slowly left. Summer rushed out and held Monica to bless her. She also wanted to invite her and Evan to have a midnight snack. Quarmy left with a sullen face and came to the car outside. Noah asked, "Mr. Huo, where are we going?" Quarmy closed his eyes in disappointment. After a long while, he finally instructed Noah in a low voice, "Go home!" Noah started the car. The car sped all the way, and Quarmy had been closing his eyes to rest. It was not until Noah stopped the car and opened the door that Quarmy opened his eyes. After getting off the car, he suddenly said, "Go investigate that Evan." Chapter 71 Chapter 71 The news of Monica''s sessful blind date was reported in the headlines. Many people felt incredible about the result. Evan was below average among the dozens of male guests. It could be said that he This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. was a ck horse. Manyizensmented that Monica was too good for Evan. Madrigal and Yale were siting in front of the TV and watching the live broadcast. When Madrigal saw that Monica chose Evan, she showed a disdainful look. "Monica''s taste is getting worse!" Yale breathed a sigh of relief. "What do you know? If Evan didn''t show up tonight, the blind date will be boring." "Do you mean that Evan was arranged by the TV station?" Madrigal was puzzled. "How can the TV station know what Monica want?" Yale sneered. "I have to talk to your father about this." "Mom, what the hell are you doing? Didn''t you say you were going to deal with Monica? I haven''t seen thating. Now that she''s with such an ordinary guy, we should just y numb. Why are you going to tell Dad? He won''t agree." "We must tell your father about it to prove our innocence if anything happens." "What? What will happen?" Madrigal was very curious. "You will know!" Yale didn''t want to say more. Zoe came back veryte. After he came back, Yale told him about Monica''s blind date and said that Evan did not deserve her. Zoe was very angry when he heard this. "Moni is too careless. I will talk to her tomorrow." The next day, Zoe came to Monica in person and expressed his opinion on Evan. He thought that Evan was too ordinary to make her happy. He wanted her to end her rtionship with Evan. "Moni, take my advice. The world is dangerous. How much do you know about this Evan? It would be rash of you to just be with him after seeing him a few times on a blind date." "It''s none of your business!" Monica ignored Zoe''s persuasion. She chose Evan partly because she was moved by him, and partly because of the situation. She was already in the spotlight, and it was time for her to leave the program. Zoe''s objection aroused her rebellion. "Although he is ordinary, he is more honest and reliable than someone who cheated on his wife." Zoe''s face turned red. "Moni, you can''t sacrifice your life for angering me!" "Mayor Jane, I''m not angering anyone. As I said before, I don''t need anyone to interfere in my life. Please go back!" Zoe had to leave resentfully when he saw that his persuasion failed. Zoe was in a bad mood, and so was Rnd. When Rnd saw Monica answering Evan''s call with a smile, he got even angrier. Therefore, he went crazy again and tortured Monica desperately. Even Beck could not bear to see it. He secretly advised Monica, "Put up with it for a few days. Mr. Wang is crazy again." Mr. Wang didn''t return to normal for days. A week had passed and he was still mad at Monica. He went crazy every time she answered Evan''s phone. Monica naturally would not argue with Rnd. At first, Summer did not think too highly of Evan, but after several encounters with him, she found that he was gentle, caring and considerate. She became full of praise for Monica''s choice. Xanjer also had a good impression of Evan, and so did people around Evan. Monica was relieved and started a formal rtionship with Evan. Like any other couple in a rtionship, they would go out for dinner and watch movies. Monica couldn''t find anything wrong with him, so she was relived. She intended to spend some more time with him and bring Coco back. As long as Coco liked Evan, their marriage could be put on the agenda. Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Monica and Evan were having dinner together. He said that the next day was his friend''s birthday and invited her to attend the party with him. Monica knew that he intended to introduce her to his friends, so she agreed. It had been raining since the next morning. When Monica was about to go off work, Evan called her and said that he was waiting downstairs. Monica was ready to leave, but Rnd went crazy again. He forced her to stay for more than an hour. Until there was nothing she could do, he let her go. Monica hurried out of thepany. Evan had been waiting downstairs for more than an hour. She felt sorry, but Evan was not annoyed at all. He said that work was the top priority. Seeing that he was so considerate, Monica was very moved. Evan started the car and told her that his friend''s house was out of town, and it would take about an hour to drive there. Then, he gave her some snacks and drinks. Monica also felt hungry, so she started to eat. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. As they talked along the way, Monica gradually felt sleepy. She rubbed her eyes to keep her spirits up, but she felt that her eyelids were so heavy. Evan said tenderly, "You''re too tired. Sleep for a while. I''ll wake you up when we arrive." Monica knew that it was impolite to do so, but she was too sleepy. She couldn''t hear what Evan said When she woke up, she heard the rustling rain. She opened her eyes and found herself lying in bed. The room was very dark. She struggled for a moment and found that her limbs were weak. Her memories came back to her. Wasn''t she attending a birthday party with Evan? Why was she here? Was this his friend''s house? Where was Evan? "Evan!" She shouted. Without hearing a response, she called a few more times. The door was pushed open, and several strange men appeared. "Are you awake?" "Who are you? Where is Evan?" Seeing them, Monica was startled. "It doesn''t matter who we are. You''re our guest tonight." One of the men said evilly, "You''re the most beautiful woman I''ve ever seen. It''s such a pity for you to do porn!" "What did you say?" "Turn on the lights!" The man ordered. As the lights were turned on, Monica saw clearly the environment she was in. It turned out to be a room full of cameras, and the walls were full of obscene photos. Looking at those dirty photos, Monica closed her eyes subconsciously and then jumped up with a conditional reflex. Seeing her rush to the door, one of the men grabbed her hand and threw her hard on the ground. "Bro, be gentle to the beautifuldy. She''s new to the field, so it''s inevitable for her to be shy. Give her the pill." A man ordered. "No!" Monica reached out and pushed away the pill that was about to reach her mouth. "Be obedient. You will feel veryfortable after you take the pill." The man reached out to put the pill into her mouth, and then poured her a ss of water. "Cough! Cough!" Monica coughed desperately. She put her fingers into her throat again and spat out the pill. "Beauty, you''ll feel awesome if you take it, otherwise you''ll be tortured. Tonight''s theme is a birthday feast and there''re several men that you''re going to serve tonight. Are you sure you can take it?" "I beg you to let me go!" Monica begged. "Let you go? That''s impossible!" The man shook his head. "We''ve paid to do this." "Who let you do this to me? Evan?" Monica was angry and resentful. "That''s not the point. Beauty, the point is whether you are willing to take the pill or not." The man shook his head. "You''re not getting out of here tonight. If you cooperate with us, you won''t be tortured too much. Otherwise, this happy birthday feast will be a mistreatment, understand?" "Let me think about it!" Monica calmed herself down. "Give me a cigarette!" "That''s right." The man took out a cigarette and lit it up for her. "Think about it. Do you want a feast of joy or a mistreatment?" Monica took the cigarette but did not smoke. She looked at the situation inside the house. At present, there were three men. One was taking care of a camera, and the other two were standing next to her and staring at her. She was ten meters away from the door. If she could rush out, there might be a chance. "I have a request!" Monica said. "What''s it?" "I want money." The two men looked at each other and did not expect that she would suddenly change her mind. One of them had a puzzled look on his face. "Have you made up your mind?" "Yes. I can''t escape anyway. But you have to pay me. I can''t do it for nothing!" "As long as you don''t go too far, we will give you money." One of the men replied. He stretched out five fingers. "If it sells well, we can work together for a long time, and we''ll give you a raise." Monica felt so disgusted, but there was no expression on her face. "Which one of you will do it first?" The two men looked at each other, and Monica looked impatient. "Haven''t you decided yet?" "Why don''t we do it together?" The two men discussed. "Whatever!" Monica said and reached out to unbutton her clothes. They didn''t expect her to be so straightforward. One of the men began to take off his clothes. Monica walked to the man who did not move and narrowed her eyes. "Do you need me to help you take off your clothes?" She reached out to unbutton his clothes. When her fingers touched his clothes, she suddenly use the cigarette in her hand to poke his eyes. The man had never dreamed that she would do this. Eyes were the most sensitive part. The man screamed because of pain, and then he squatted down. Monica took the time to rush to the door, opened the door and ran away. There a swearing voice behind her. The other two men were chasing her. She didn''t dare to look back and just ran away desperately. It was a dark alley outside. Because of the heavy rain, Monica''s clothes were wet in an instant, and her eyes could not open. She kept shouting for help while running. When she was about to rush out of the alley, she heard someone behind her shouting, "Catch her, don''t let her run away!" Suddenly, a ck shadow wearing a raincoat rushed out and punched her in the face. Monica''s head buzzed, and then she fell down in a daze. Chapter 73 Chapter 73 When Monica woke up, it''s already dawned. She had a terrible headache and couldn''t open her eyes. The sunlight made her eyes even more ufortable. She closed her eyes slightly. At the moment, she was still a little unconscious. She could smell a faint smell of Cologne. Why was this smell so familiar? She searched in her memory, but could not remember where she had smelled it. Her head still hurt. She raised her hand to rub her forehead, but unconsciously she touched something hard. Her body tensed because of the temperature of it, and the memory ofst night shed in her mind. She screamed and suddenly opened her eyes. An erged handsome face appeared in front of her. She saw definite features, a prominent nose, and a pair of passionate eyes that could engulf her. After seeing it more clearly, Monica screamed again. "Argh!" "What are you shouting for?" A familiar voice rang out. There was a hint of teasing in Quarmy''s eyes. "You... Why are you here? Quarmy? What are you doing here?" Monica was so surprised that she couldn''t speak clearly. "Why am I here? This is my home. Do you understand?" Quarmy rested one hand on the back of her head and the other on her waist. She could even feel his hot breath on her face. "Your home?" Monica stared at him in disbelief. Quarmy''s eyes were full of smiles. He stared unblinkingly at her exposed snow- white skin. "Monica, after so many years, you''re still the same as you were before!" Monica''s face suddenly turned red. She used to like to sleep in his arms, now she was attached to him as tightly as before. She could feel the warmthing from his body without any hindrance. They were both naked! Monica was both shy and angry, wanting to p him. Quarmy quickly grabbed her hand. She couldn''t free herself, so she cursed, "Quarmy, what have you done to me? You son of a b*tch! How can you be so shameless?" Quarmy frowned slightly and held her hand tightly. "A single man and a single woman in the same room... no, the same bed. What do you think I can do?" Monica''s heart sank. Crap! "Quarmy, you''re an animal! How can you do this to me?" Thinking that she had slept with this disgusting man, Monica felt ashamed. She reached out to push him, cursing and struggling. However, how could she get rid of Quarmy''s imprisonment? He hugged her tighter and tighter. She could feel the change in his body. His thing was stuck tightly to her leg. The embarrassment and anger made her tears roll down unnaturally. Quarmy looked at the tears at the corners of her eyes and involuntarily let go of his hand. The person he had been thinking about all the time was in his arms. However, he could not do anything to her. One could imagine how much pain Quarmy was in his heart. It was not that he didn''t want her, but he was afraid that she would hate him more. He tried his best to suppress his desire and held her tightly for a night. His release allowed Monica to take the opportunity to p him viciously in the face. "Pa!" The p was crisp. There were immediately five clear fingerprints on Quarmy''s face. He stared at her in shock. "You hit me? You actually hit me?" "So what?" Monica red at him. "You hooligan! I must call the police to arrest you!" "Are you out of your mind?" Anger surfaced on Quarmy''s handsome face. How could this woman be so ungrateful? If he had not saved herst night, the consequences would have been unimaginable. "Aren''t you out of your mind?!" Monica mercilessly pushed him out of bed. Only then did she discover that he waspletely naked. Moreover, he was having an erection. "You hooligan! Get out!" Monica''s face turned red with embarrassment. Quarmy got up from the ground and looked at her without any cover. "You seem to be mistaken. This is my home. If anyone''s going anywhere, it''s you." Monica red at Quarmy. "Quarmy Huo, why am I here? Did you trick me and get me here?" Quarmy''s beautiful eyes revealed a hint of anger. "I got you here? Monica, are you really insane? I don''t believe you don''t remember what happenedst night at all!" Monica suddenly shut up. She could still see the ugly faces of those menst night, but she couldn''t connect them with Quarmy. "Do you remember anything?" Quarmy raised his brows slightly. There was no emotion in his pitch- ck eyes. "I..." A look of fear appeared in Monica''s eyes as she quickly recalled what had happenedst night. She remembered that she had run out of that room and been knocked unconscious in an alley. How did she appear beside Quarmy? "Let me tell you. Your so- called boyfriend is a middleman in the AV business. You were betrayed by him and I saved you!" "How did you know that?" "How did I know that?" Quarmy''s face darkened. On the blind date that day, when he saw Evan and Monica ying games, he felt that something wasn''t right. A normal person''s reaction at that time must''ve been to take care of himself first, unless he loved Monica to the extreme. Evan and Monica never met before, and he also didn''t believe in love at first sight. If so, why did he have such a great affection for Monica? The only possibility was that he was acting, and the so-called fall was just to win Monica''s sympathy so that she could choose him. So he asked Noah to investigate Evan, who hid himself well. His real name was Bill and Evan was just a fake name. It had taken a lot of time to find out his real identity. When Noah delivered Evan''s real information to Quarmy, Quarmy immediately drove to find Monica. However, she had disappeared with Evan. Quarmy located Evan''s cell phone and immediately found his location. Evan actually took Monica out of the city. Quarmy informed the police and followed them all the way. They found Evan''s car in an old residential area. The police searched one area after another. Hearing Monica''s call for help, they rushed over. Finally, they rescued Monica and caught four people on the spot. However, the principal criminal, Evan, disappeared. The police were arresting him in the whole city. Quarmy took Monica back to his residence. "Why did he do this to me?" Monica didn''t understand. Did he go to the blind date for making her do porn? Why did she feel that things were not so simple? Quarmy sneered. "Destruction pursues the great. Don''t you know that you''re already very famous?" Monica red at him angrily. She had actually forgotten that she didn''t wear anything at all. She lifted the nket and was about to climb up. When she saw Quarmy''s surprised gaze, she pulled the nket over and wrapped it around her body. Quarmy''s gloomy expression had turned into a smile because of her actions. "Seriously? Which part of your body I haven''t seen before?" Monica''s face turned red. "Rogue!" He put on a serious look. "Your clothes were wet, so I took it off for you. I don''t have a woman''s clothes here, so wait for a moment. I''ve already asked someone to send some clothes here." After saying this, he put on his pajamas and left the room. Watching him leave, Monica dejectedly leaned on the bed. Her head was in a lot of pain, and her mind was in a mess. "Why is it that he witnessed every one of my most embarrassing moments?" She had forced herself to be strong in front of him just now. In reality, she was really scared. If something had really happenedst night, what was she going to do? If she died, what would happen to Coco? After some time, she heard the doorbell ringing. Not long after, Quarmy appeared at the door with a bag in hand. He threw the bag on the bed and said, "Your clothes!" After that, he turned around. Monica looked at the clothes on the bed. The eye-catching logo startled her. In the past, she had stuck to this brand because Quarmy liked it. Now that Madrigal would also wear this brand of clothes, she felt a little humiliated, but there was no other way. She couldn''t go out naked. Her hands had no strength at all. Not only did her head hurt, but she also felt dizzy. It took her a long time to change her clothes. She felt as hot as a furnace. She felt thirsty and her throat dry. She must have caught a fever. She knew very well that she needed to see a doctor at this time. Her clothes and purse were not with her. So far, she could only rely on Quarmy. She didn''t want to have anything to do with him anymore. Quarmy had once said that she was no longer his woman, so she couldn''t trouble him anymore. She had to rely on herself. She struggled to open the bedroom door. Quarmy sat on the sofa and heard the sound. He turned his head to look at her. He bought the clothes ording to her size, but why were the clothes obviously too big for her? This woman was indeed thinner. He was very sad, but his voice was still cold. "I have already ordered breakfast. It will be delivered soon." "Thank you, Mr. Huo." Monica tried her best to act as if nothing had happened. "Mr. Huo, please lend me your phone." Quarmy''s head ached after hearing her businesslike tone. He speechlessly handed the phone to her. Monica''s hand trembled as she dialed Summer''s number. "Summer,e pick me up." She didn''t know where this ce was, so she looked at Quarmy and asked, "May I ask where this ce is?" Quarmy stared at her for a few seconds and calmly answered her. Monica repeated the name and then hung up the phone. She passed the phone to him and thanked him. Quarmy snorted. "Why are you standing there? Are you waiting for me to invite you to sit down?" She didn''t want to stay a minute longer in front of the man, especially after experiencing such a thing. She had already lost her dignity, but she still tried to maintain her self-esteem as much as possible. "Thank you forst night. I should get going!" Then she turned around. A trace of helplessness shed through Quarmy''s beautiful eyes. She was still so stubborn and unyielding, not willing to admit defeat. Would it kill her to show a little weakness? He asked, "Are you leaving just like that?" Monica turned her head and said, "I will return the clothes to you." Looking at her indifferent face, a fire burned in Quarmy''s heart. How could she still be okay with something that big? Did she know what would have happened if he hadn''t saved her? A fire was burning in his heart. "What''s the use of giving me the clothes you''ve worn? Throw it away!" Monica was so overwhelmed by his words that she couldn''t breathe. Her head was dizzy and painful, and her vision was ck. She didn''t have the strength to argue with him. She staggered to the door and opened it to go out. She felt like she was exhausted, but there was a determination in her heart. Summer would definitely Monica held the wall and walked slowly to the elevator. It was only a short distance. Usually, it would take only a few steps to get there, but she felt it was so far away. Her feet were as heavy as stones. It took her a lot of effort to move a step. She finally moved to the door of the elevator and raised her hand to press the button of the elevator, but she could not control herself and fell down. Looking at Monica''s determined back, Quarmy let out a dejected sigh. He patted his head in annoyance. He already knew that she was very stubborn, so why couldn''t he forget to stimte her? As long as he thought that she didn''t give him a chance to exin and had disappeared without any news for three years, he felt that he couldn''t forgive her and stay calm. Hearing her leaving footsteps, he couldn''t stay in the house, so he got up and chased her. From a distance, he saw a person lying at the elevator door. Quarmy''s eyes widened. He rushed to her and ran outside with her in his arms. Monica suffered a great shock and had a high fever. Quarmy''s heart ached for her red-hot face. It was all his fault. He loved spending time with her so much that he forgot to send her to the hospitalst night. Summer drove to the address Monica gave her, but she couldn''t find Monica anywhere. So she dialed the number that Monica had just called her, only to hear Quarmy''s voice. She was stunned and thought that she had called the wrong number. Quarmy told her that they were on the way to the hospital. After hanging up, Summer rushed to the hospital. When Summer arrived, Monica was taking intravenous drip. Quarmy was waiting by the side of the bed anxiously. Seeing him holding Monica''s hand, Summer rushed forward. "Hey, what did you do to Moni?" "Keep your voice down!" Quarmy said with a rare good temper. "Something happened to her." "What happened to her? Moni went on a date with her boyfriend yesterday, why is she with you now? What the hell do you want? Isn''t enough for you to hurt her by cheating? Do you still want to prevent her from being happy?" Summer had no good impression of Quarmy at all, so she said it directly. Quarmy did not retort. What happenedst night was not a good thing for Monica. He had specially informed the police station to block off the news. He was afraid that it would have a bad effect on her if it was leaked out. Although Summer was Monica''s good friend, it would still be troublesome if she found out about this. Therefore, he chose to be silent in the face of Summer''s question. Based on Quramy''s attitude, Summer was convinced that he was to me. "Quarmy, you can leave now. You''re not wee here!" How would Quarmy be willing to leave? Summer said angrily, "Are you leaving or not? If not, I''ll call your mistress and ask her to get you out of here!" While they were arguing, Monica woke up. When Summer saw it, she stopped attacking Quarmy. "Moni, how do you feel?" "Water!" Monica felt her throat was so dry that it was almost smoking. Quarmy immediately poured a ss of water for her. Monica drank it up and felt better. Summer took the ss from her hand. "Did he bully you?" Monica shook her head and looked at Quarmy. "Thank you, Mr. Huo, for sending me to the hospital. I''m fine now. You may leave first!" Quarmy stood still. Monica had no choice but to drive him out. "I want to talk to Summer. Please." Quarmy hesitated for a moment, but he still didn''t want to leave. Summer ordered without any politeness. "Hey, didn''t you hear that? Hurry up and leave!" "I''m outside. Call me if there''s anything you need." Quarmy turned around and left the ward, but he didn''t go too far away. "What happened? Why are you in such a state?" As soon as Quarmy left, Summer couldn''t wait to ask. "Summer, I thought I would never see you again... Evan... He... He''s not a good person!" Monica''s eyes reddened. "Evan hit you?" Summer first thought of violence. "No!" Monica exined what happenedst night to Summer in an inarticte manner. Summer was furious. "Bastard! This bastard! If I see him, I''ll skin him alive and pull out his sinews!" She was terrified after thinking about it. It was fortunate that Quarmy had just passed by. Otherwise, things would have gone out of control. It was just that why would Quarmy appear there by coincidence? "Why would Quarmy be there?" "I don''t know either. I didn''t ask." After Monica woke up, she was shocked, scared, and ashamed. How could she think about this? Summer thought for a while. "Why do I feel that this is not so simple? There is no enmity between you and Evan. Why did he plot such a big trap to frame you? Is there any chance that Quarmay is the one behind this matter? Otherwise, why would he appear there so coincidentally?" "Quarmy schemed against me?" Monica was stunned and immediately shook her head. "He''s not that despicable." "Don''t put in a good word for him. How good could a man that cheated on you during a marriage be?" Summer had no good impression of Quarmy at all. "What''s his motive?" "His motive is very simple. You humiliated him. He''s got to get it back." Summer reminded. "Is that so?" Monica still didn''t quite believe that Quarmy would do such a thing. "I just want to remind you that humanity is sinister. Based on what he''s done before, you have to be careful of him. You can''t be grateful to him because of this. Remember, it''s his fault that you be like this!" Monica nodded. "I know. Don''t worry, I won''t have anything to do with him!" Summer did not believe that Evan would set up a trap to harm Monica, neither did Quarmy. He also suspected that someone was behind this as well. He naturally thought of the Wang family as to the This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. rtionship between Monica and Rnd. Although Rnd''s reputation was not good, he was a treasure in Old Mr. Wang''s heart. Old Mr. Wang would never allow his precious grandson to have anything to do with a divorced woman. However, this was just a suspicion. He had no evidence, so he could not say anything in front of Monica. He just had to be alert. In order to prevent something like this from happening again, he had to pay more attention to this woman. He asked Noah to keep an eye on the Wang family, and investigate whether Evan was instructed by them. After the phone call, he found that there were several missed calls from Madrigal. He called her back with a frown. "What''s the matter?" Madrigal''s soft voice came, "Are you free tonight? Mom bought fresh seafood, and she invites you and Aunt Sun to have dinner together." "I''m not!" Quarmy replied. He refused directly and decisively. Madrigal had to hang up the phone and shouted to Lancy, who was in the kitchen. "Lancy, you don''t need to buy seafood tonight." Yale heard the voice and came downstairs. "Why not?" "He said he didn''t have time toe over." Madrigal leaned back on the sofa and answered listlessly. "Is he that busy?" Yale did not believe it. "It''s just an excuse. Didn''t he often take time to apany her to dinner when he was so busy?" Madrigal was unwilling to give up after thinking about it. "Mom, didn''t you say that you would deal with Monica? Why hasn''t there been any news yet?" Yale red at her and then looked at Lancy, who was busy in the kitchen. She lowered her voice and said, "It''s not the time to talk about this." "I''m anxious!" Madrigal said with a bitter face. "I won''t be at peace until it''s settled." "Don''t worry, we''ll have news in the next two days." Yale seemed to have a well-thought-out n. "Mom, what have you done? Can you tell me?" Madrigal was very curious. "You don''t need to know, but if this thing works out, that b*tch will be ruined. She''ll never be able to take your man." Yale lowered her voice. When she saw Lancying out of the kitchen, she stopped the topic and told Lancy, "Go and buy more seafood. I want the best." Lancy agreed and went to the market. After she left, Madrigal asked Yale curiously, "Quarmy won''t "I have my reasons." Yale smiled in a sinister way. In the evening, Zoe came back a little earlier. When he entered, Yale gently took his bag and went to make tea. After Zoe satfortably on the sofa, Yale came over with tea and said, "Have you gone to see Moni recently?" "No!" Zoe answered. That day, he went to find Monica and asked her to stay away from Evan, but was rejected. After that, he didn''t go to see her again. Thinking of Monica''s attitude at that time, he felt a little depressed. "Moni is too cruel! She doesn''t care about her father at all!" "It''s because she''s still mad at us. We let her down first, so is normal for her to hate us. You have to be closer to her. As time goes on, she''ll naturally forgive us." Yale persuaded. "No matter what, she can''t joke about her marriage. Look at the guy she is dating. Does he deserve her?" Zoe got angry at the thought of it. "So you have to persuade her!" Yale looked like a virtuous stepmother. "I asked Lancy to buy fresh seafood today. You can give some to Moni, and take this opportunity to talk to her. After all, she is your child, and you can''t just leave her alone!" Yale acted as if she was caring about Monica. Zoe was very satisfied with her performance and went out with fresh seafood. Madrigal had been watching it. She couldn''t understand why her mother did this. Yale hated Monica more than herself. Why did she ask Dad to send Monica seafood? However, Yale had her own reasons for doing things. Seeing Lancy busy herself in the living room, Madrigal didn''t dare to ask. It didn''t take long for Zoe toe back. Seeing the seafood in his hand, Yale stepped forward in a gentle voice. "Moni didn''t want it?" "No!" Zoe sat down. "Moni is sick. She is in the hospital now!" "Then let''s go visit her." Yale looked worried. "Let Lancy make some soup. I''ll go to the hospital." "Lancy made chicken soup tonight. Take it and go visit her quickly." Yale immediately went into the kitchen and put the chicken soup in a thermos bottle. Zoe took it and hurried out. After Zoe went out, Yale and Madrigal sat on the sofa waiting for news after dinner. Madrigal could not help but lower her voice. "Mom, we made it?" Yale nodded and said, "I think so. But why didn''t he call me to ask for the final payment?" As she spoke, her cell phone rang. She picked up the phone and looked at it. Then, she immediately got up and went into the bedroom. Madrigal also followed in. A husky male voice came from the other end of the line. "It''s done. Give me the rest of the money and I''ll give the stuff to you." Yale was happy. "I''ll transfer the rest of the money to you right away." Madrigal saw her mother smiling happily and knew that it must be good news. Yale hung up the phone and told her daughter, "Madrigal, we made it. Transfer money to this ount immediately." She took out a bank ount from her drawer and handed it to Madrigal. Madrigal was a little hesitant. "Mom, aren''t you afraid of being cheated since you haven''t seen the stuff?" "Impossible. Nine introduced him to me. He won''t cheat me! What''s more, didn''t your father say that the little b*tch was hospitalized? It must have something to do with this matter." Madrigal had to turn on theputer to transfer 500,000 yuan ording to Yale''s instructions. It didn''t take long for Zoe toe back. Yale came up and said, "How is she?" "I didn''t see her." Zoe sighed and handed the thermos bottle in his hand to Yale. "She doesn''t want to see you?" "No." Zoe looked at Yale and Madrigal with aplicated expression. He didn''t know what to say. When he arrived at the hospital, he saw Noah carrying a thermos bottle into Monica''s ward. He was sure that Quarmy was also in the ward. Seeing Zoe''s expression, Yale was secretly happy. It seemed that Monica''s situation was not very good. She controlled herself and asked, "Didn''t you ask the doctor?" "Yes." Zoe sat down. "What did the doctor say?" Yale and Madrigal were anxious. They were really anxious, but they couldn''t ask too much. "The doctor said she had a fever. It''s not a big deal." Zoe sighed and looked at his clever and sensible daughter. "Madrigal, I advise you to forget about marring Quarmy." "Dad, what do you mean?" Madrigal''s face suddenly turned pale. "What happened?" Yale was also shocked. "I saw Quarmy in Moni''s ward." Zoe hesitated for a moment and had to tell the truth. "He found your rtionship with Moni?" Yale''s heart sank. If Quarmy found out the rtionship between Zoe and Monica at this critical moment, Madrigal would not be able to get engaged to him. "No. But Quarmy was apanying Moni when she was sick, I think he still loves her. We all know why Madrigal would be with Quarmy. If Moni hadn''t been unable to give birth that year, such a thing wouldn''t have happened. Now that Moni has returned and Quarmy still loves her so much, you''d better quit, Madrigal." "Dad!" Madrigal''s tears rolled down, and she looked sad and pitiful. "I know you like Quarmy, but he doesn''t love you. He just feels sorry for you, and you won''t be happy." Zoe tried to persuade her. "It''s my fault. I shouldn''t have sacrificed your happiness for Moni." "Zoe, have you forgotten why Moni was divorced? Even if Madrigal quits, Jenny will still not ept Moni because she can''t give birth. It''s impossible for the Huo family to ept it." Yale calmed herself down. What happened at that time was rted to her. If she hadn''t said to Zoe that Monica was bullied by Jenny, and if it hadn''t been for her willingness to sacrifice Madrigal for Monica''s happiness, Zoe wouldn''t have agreed to Madrigal''s surrogacy. Zoe was silent. It was indeed a big problem that Monica couldn''t give birth to a child. He knew clearly what kind of person Jenny was. She wouldn''t ept Moni. When he was hesitating, Madrigal burst into tears. "Dad, the matter between me and Quarmy has been known all over Jiang City. Aren''t you forcing me to die by asking me to quit at this time? How can I have the face to live in the future?" "Nonsense! What are you talking about?" Yale shouted at Madrigal in a fierce voice. Madrigal understood what Yale meant. She knelt on the ground and said, "Dad, if no one knows about the engagement between me and Quarmy, I will definitely quit, but now everyone knows. If I quit, I have no other choice but to die!" Zoe looked at his crying daughter and sighed. "I was just advising, why are you so excited?" Yale helped Madrigal up. "Madrigal, your father didn''t mean that. He just doesn''t what your sister to suffer, and we both owe your sister. You can''t force him with your life. You are also his child, how can he bear to let you die?" Zoe sighed heavily after hearing that. Madrigal was also his daughter. If he hadn''t agreed to let her bear the child for Monica at the beginning, things wouldn''t have be like this. Thinking about Madrigal''s sufferings, he felt also bad. So he got up and went into the study. Yale also supported Madrigal to go upstairs. Yale closed the door and let go of Madrigal. She sat down on the bed and breathed heavily. "I''m so angry!" Madrigal also wiped the tears on her face, and said fiercely, "Dad''s so biased!" "Biased! Let him be. When things get out, I wonder how will he face it." Yale''s face was full of ferocity. "Mom, what the hell did you do?" "What else can I do? I did something to ruin the little b*tch''s reputation. When we get the stuff, we can spread it out. Everyone in Jiang City will know that she is a slut. I wonder what will she do." Yale said with hatred on her face. Madrigal didn''t expect that her mother was nning this. Her mother was really awesome that she didn''t give Monica any chance to counterattack. Monica must be going down. However, when Mardigal recalled that Zoe had said that Quarmy was now apanying Monica, she felt really upset. "Mom, Quarmy is now in the hospital." "Don''t worry. He won''t be there long!" Yale sneered and picked up the phone to call Jenny. Jenny was furious when she heard that Quarmy was in the hospital with Monica. Her son was really blinded. The woman had attacked them like that, but he still wanted to get close to her. Thus, she ordered the driver to go to the hospital. Since her son insisted on being obstinate, she would have to be a viin again. Jenny angrily pushed open the door of the ward, which startled Xanjer and Summer in the ward. Jenny looked around but didn''t see her son. She naturally asked, "Where''s Quarmy?" Summer sneered. "Lady, you went the wrong way, didn''t you?" Jenny ignored Summer and walked straight to the hospital bed. She looked at Monica and said, "Monica, how can you be so shameless? Since you know so well that I''m an evil mother- in-w and Quarmy is a scum, why do you still pester our Quarmy?" Just as Monica was about to speak, Summer interrupted. "Madam Huo, you probably feel too good about yourself. Moni is not someone who can''t move on. She''s not interested in you guys." Jenny stared at Summer fiercely. "Who are you? Is there any right for you to speak here?" "Then what''s your right to speak here? You have no manners. How dare you run to Moni''s ward and make a lot of noise? Do you think this hospital is yours?" Summer was furious, and her words were security!" Jenny was shamed. She red at Monica and said, "Monica, is it appropriate for you to act like that? We didn''t despise your sterility and we''d been looking for a cure for you, but you couldn''t bear to be lonely and cheated on Quarmy. Even so, our Quarmy still didn''t abandon you. But how could you be so vicious to cause Madrigal to miscarry? I tell you, the Huo family didn''t let you down. If it weren''t for my kindness, you would have been in jail because!" Monica was so angry that she trembled. What the hell was she talking about? It was Quarmy who cheated, but now in Jenny''s eyes, she was the one who had an affair. Jenny was really good at turning ck to white. Xanjer was furious. "What bullshits are you talking about? Believe it or not, I''ll beat you up!" "How dare you!" Jenny didn''t care about Xanjer at all. "Believe it or not, I''ll put you in jail with just a phone call!" "Is cheating still the right thing to do? Do you think the police station is yours? Do you want me to go outside and expose those dirty things you have done?" Summer was very angry. Monica already knew what kind of person Jenny was. She couldn''t ask Summer to stand up for her, so she stopped Summer. "Madam Huo, let me tell you the truth. You and your son are the weirdest people I''ve ever seen. I lost my eyes and had a rtionship with your son. Now I know I''m wrong. I beg you to stay away from me. I want nothing but "Did you hear that? It''s your son who pesters our Moni. We''ve chased him out countless times. Please take your son away. He has polluted the air here!" Summer said without mercy. "You..." Jenny''s face turned red. "Madam Huo, please leave!" Xanjer''s face darkened. Looking at the unfriendly eyes in the ward, Jenny blushed and left. When she walked out of the door, she saw Quarmy looking at her with no expression on his face. "Quarmy!" Quarmy asked in a cold voice, "Why are you here?" "Why can''t I be here? Look at you!" Jenny felt so humiliated. In the past, Monica was rude, but she had never said vicious words. But Summer was different. Jenny finally knew how scary Summer was. "What''s good about that woman? She''s vicious, unfilial, and sterile. Why do you pester her? Do you know how she scolded me just now? I''m so ashamed." As Jenny spoke, she began wiping away her tears. Quarmy frowned, and impatience shed across his eyes. "I''ll send you home!" On the way back, Jenny didn''t forget to mention how vicious Monica and Summer were. Quarmy had been silent, butter he couldn''t bear it anymore. "Mom, you don''t have to act. I heard what you just said." Jenny''s face turned red. "What did you hear?" "Mom, I am your son. Don''t you feel tired to act in front of me?" "When did I act? I just asked her to stay away from you. Is there anything wrong with that?" Jenny was unreasonable. "You''re not wrong, but I am. It''s me who shamelessly wants approach Monica. Do you understand?" "Why?" "Why?" Quarmy sneered. "Mom, don''t you know?" Jenny''s face turned hot. "Son, it''s all in the past. We have to look forward. Madrigal is such a good girl, and she has done so much for you. You can''t let her down." "I let her down? Aren''t you the one who designed all of this?" Quarmyughed at himself. "Mom, it''s you who owes her. If you hadn''t done that, would it have been like this?" "I didn''t do it for you, okay? You were so obsessed with that vixen that you didn''t want to divorce her. The Huo family can''t have no kids. Otherwise, how could I face your father?" Jenny retorted. "What''s more, what''s so good about that vixen? Not only can''t she give birth, she even cheated on you behind your back. I''m so angry when I think of this." "Can''t you stop talking about this?" The word "cheat" provoked Quarmy, and her voice suddenly became louder. "If I didn''t remind you, you would have forgotten the pain. I really can''t understand why you love her so much? She''s nothingpared to Madrigal." Jenny tried her best to belittle Monica. "She''s poor without family education, Madrigal is different. She is kind with a good background. If I hadn''t begged her, how could she have agreed to carry your child? Let me tell you, we''re mother and son, and you have to pay for what I owe her. You must treat her well!" "Pay for what you owe her?" Quarmy suddenly sneered. "Since I have to pay for it, why don''t we give VSUS to Madrigal?" "What are you talking about?" Jenny was shocked by her son''s indifferent tone. "Mom, I want to ask you a question. In your heart, which is more important among thepany, the dignity, the child, and my happiness?" "Your happiness, of course." "Since my happiness is important, can you please don''t force me? I am a human being, not a puppet. Can you let me choose my life ording to my own wishes?" "As long as you don''t have anything to do with Monica, I can." Jenny made concessions. "But I don''t have any interest in any woman except her." Quarmy''s voice was cold. "Unless someone is so silly as to be willing to live as a widow!" Jenny knew that Quarmy was not joking. During the three years after Monica''s leave, her son had always lived with her. Apart from Madrigal, no other woman had appeared by his side. The reason why Madrigal could appear by his side was also because she forced him to do so. In the past three years, the rtionship between him and Madrigal had never improved. This was the first time that he had told her his thoughts very formally. Jenny sighed disappointedly. "What did I do to deserve this?" Rnd was very upset that Monica had note to work all day. This woman was really too much. How could she disappear without asking for a leave. What on earth did she want to do? She must be with her boyfriend. At Rnd thought of this, he was very angry. He felt ashamed to call her, so he asked Beck to call her and give her a warning. As a result, her phone was turned off. Rnd was even angrier. He thought she turned it off because she was afraid of being disturbed. "Monica, let''s see how I will deal with you!" On this day, Rnd spent his time cursing and swearing. In the evening, he finally could not help but drive to the Monica''s apartment. To his surprise, it was dark and Xanjer was not at home. He was so angry. Had this woman moved to another ce? He waited downstairs until midnight without seeing her. Then, he went home with a lot of resentment. Early in the next morning, he rushed to her apartment again. This time, he finally saw Xanjer. Only then did he know that Monica was hospitalized. Then, he rushed to the hospital without stopping. "What''s wrong? Why are you so sick in a day?" Looking at Monica''s pale face, Rnd felt distressed for no reason. Monica only felt ashamed when she saw Rnd. If he knew that she was almost raped, she wouldn''t be able to face him. Summer, who was standing at the side, said, "She got caught in the rain the night before yesterday." "She got caught in the rain? Why?" Rnd stared at Monica up and down. "Why is your forehead a little blue?" "She identally smashed into the wall." Summer replied. "Were you drunk?" On the night of Monica''s departure, she went to attend a birthday party with Evan. Rnd took it for granted that Monica was drunk. "Why did you drink so much? Why didn''t your sweetheart drink for you?" When he mentioned that, he found that Evan was absent. Why wasn''t Evan apanying Monica? "Where is that Evan?" "Don''t mention him!" Summer''s face turned cold. "What happened?" Monica looked pitifully at Summer, she was afraid that Summer would tell Rnd what had happened directly. Summer was naturally not so foolish. She answered impolitely. "He broke up with Moni!" "Really?!" Rnd''s face was full of joy. He had been thinking of a way to separate Monica and Evan when he saw them dating. Now it seemed that God was on his side. After being happy for a while, Rnd felt a little angry. He guessed that Monica''s sickness and the wound must have something to do with Evan. Wasn''t that Evan just a man? They had just known each other for a few days, but she had tortured herself for him like this! There he scolded Monica. "Look at you. Isn''t he just a man? What''s the big deal about breaking up? Do you really have to humiliate yourself like this?" "Mr. Wang is right. You don''t have to humiliate yourself." Summer winked at Monica, who lowered her head and remained silent. Seeing that, Rnd scolded her for a while. Then he picked up the phone and called Beck happily. "I am in the hospital. Moni is sick. She looks sallow, emaciated and malnourished. Bring some nutritious tonics here right away!" Beck hurriedly agreed and hung up the phone to talk to himself. "Yesterday, he called her Special Assistant Mo, and said that he would punish her severely. How did he change so much in one night? Not only did he call her Moni, but he also asked me to prepare tonics. The boss is really hard to read!" Yale thought that she could get what she wanted after transferring, and then Monica''s reputation would be ruined. However, two days passed, and nothing was sent to her. She was a little anxious, so she called Nine, but it was disconnected. How could he turn off his phone? Did something happen? Yale was a little confused. After waiting for a day at home, she couldn''t help but drive to the cat''s alley. It was where she used to live when she was poor. The ce was full of all kinds of people and it was the most chaotic ce in Jiang City. There was the biggest gangs in Jiang City. At that time, as a single woman with a daughter, Yale had made friends with many gangsters with her ability. Nine was one of them. He took drugs, fought, and basically did all kinds of things including rape and robbery. Therefore, he was the first one Yale thought of when she was nning to deal with Monica. Monica was not an ordinary person. With Zoe around, she could not let gangsters deal with Monica directly. If it was exposed, Yale herself would definitely not be able to escape. So she thought of the way to deal with Monica through her blind date. When the time came, Monica could only me herself. Yale knew that Nine knew many people, so she turned to him. Nine had replied to her in two days, saying that he could do it, but the price was a little high. After all, this was not an ordinary thing. One had to have a little acting ability to do it. Yale agreed with the price offered by Nine very quickly. First, she gave him 100,000 yuan. She knew what kind of men Monica would like, so she handed the information to Nine. Nine handed the information to Evan and asked him to find a perfect way to attract Monica. Evan was one of the best liars. After carefully reading Monica''s information, he finally came up with a n. First, he used his identity to gain Monica''s attention. Then, he deliberately put on a show in the interactive game to move her. Finally, he said that he had the same experience as her to gain her sympathy and affection. Yale was overjoyed to see Monica choose Evan on TV. She knew that Monica had a strong rebellious mentality against Zoe, so she deliberately let Zoe advise her to stay away with Evan. At this point, Yale partly seeded. She urged Nine to have Evan do it immediately, fearing that the matter would get worse. So there was the so-called birthday party. As a single woman, Monica was like a weak sheep. As long as she went into Evan''s trap, the consequences could be imagined. Yale was 90% sure that she was in danger, so she carefully let Zoe visit her. After hearing that Monica was in the hospital, she thought she made it. So when Nine called to ask for the rest of the money, she gave it to him quickly. But now she found that she seemed to have been a little sloppy. She should have given him money after she got what she want. But now there was no room for her to regret. The only way was to go find Nine. Yale parked the car on the open space at the cat''s alley. She walked to a courtyard skillfully. The door of the courtyard was unlocked. She pushed the door open and saw a man with gold teeth and a pipe in his mouth, basking in the sun in the courtyard. "Niu!" Yale greeted him. When Niu saw Yale, he was surprised and took off the pipe. "What brings the mayor''s wife here?" Yale walked to the man and asked, "Niu, where is Nine?" "What do you want with him?" Niu retorted. "Private matters." Yale didn''t want to say more. "Why are you in his house?" "Now it''s my house," Niu replied. "He sold the house to me." Yale was stunned. Apparently, she didn''t expect that Nine would sell his house. "Why?" "How do I know?" Niu picked up the pipe again and stared at Yale''s face evilly. "Flower, you really disappointed me. Why don''t you look for me? Can''t I do what Nine can do?" Flower was Yale''s nickname when she was in the cat''s alley. Because she was beautiful, everyone called her like this. In the past, she would be proud upon hearing that, but now she only felt extremely awkward. However, Niu seemed to ignore her embarrassment. "It''s said that women be as ugly as they get older. It doesn''t work on you. Why do I feel that the older you are, the more beautiful you be?" Niu had always had a crush on her. He had always touched her and provoked her with dirty words before. In the past, Yale had to ept it. But now things were different. She was no longer the previous Yale who had no backer. She was the mayor''s wife, how could she be bullied by a gangster? Yale''s face sank. "Niu, watch your mouth!" "Watch my mouth?" Niu sneered, "You are indeed different after marrying the mayor. I feel strange. Why didn''t you say this when I touched you?" "Do you believe that I will beat you?" Yale trembled with anger. "Flower. I don''t like to see you like this. What the point of acting? Don''t I know you well? So what if you are the mayor''s wife. I remember those dirty things you have done very clearly." Niu was not afraid of her at all. Yale''s face changed. She thought that it was meaningless to argue with a rascal, so she turned around and walked away. She heard the voice of Niu behind her. "Hannah is also from the cat''s alley, but she is different from you! She is upright and admirable. Who do you think you are? You took the man of your bestie. How dare you still be so arrogant! Believe it or not, I''ll expose all your past scandals!" Yale quickened her pace. When she reached the alley entrance, she ran into a person. "Yale?" Yale nced at him with a disgusted look on her face. The man did not care about her attitude. "What are you doing here?" Yale wanted to ignore him at first, but thinking about the purpose of hering today, she could only hold it back. "Where has Nine gone?" "He is in trouble and he ran away!" The man answered. "He ran away?" Yale was stunned and couldn''t believe it. "What do you want with him?" Yale was unwilling to say that. "Remember to inform me if you have his news. I have a score to settle with him." "He won''te back." The man shook his head. "He has already made migration a month ago." "This bastard!" Yale knew that she was cheated by Nine. Her angry look aroused the man''s curiosity. "What''s the rtionship between you and Nine?" Yale naturally wouldn''t say that Nine had lied to her, so she found an excuse to leave. The man behind her called out, "Yale, you... how are you?" "I''m fine!" Yale gave a simple answer. "Does he treat you well?" The man asked again. "It''s none of your business." Yale was impatient. "I have something to do. I have to go first." She got in the car in a hurry. When she started the car, in the rearview mirror, she saw the man standing in the alley and looking at her, which made her feel upset. "What the hell!" She cursed and started the car to leave. On the way back, she scolded Nine again and again. In addition, she felt angry because she had spent a lot on it. It was all hard-earned money she''d saved over the years. She had saved up for so many years. Because of her trust in Nine and her strong willingness to get rid of Monica, she was actually fooled by Nine. Yale was so angry! She had always schemed against others, but no one ever schemed against her. Now she not only was humiliated but also suffered a big loss. Hundreds of thousands of dors didn''t do anything at all. She really couldn''t bear it. How could she be fooled? When she got home, Madrigal also came back from outside. "Mom, have you got the stuff?" Yale threw her purse on the sofa angrily. "Forget it. Son of a b*tch. How dare he lie to me. I lost hundreds of thousands of yuan for nothing. It really pisses me off!" "Who lied to you?" A cold voice sounded. The mother and daughter looked over and saw Zoe standing at the door of the study with a cold face. Chapter 74 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. Chapter 75 Chapter 75 The person in the photo looked exactly the same as Monica. Quarmy suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes. He took a closer look and found that it was indeed Monica. The Monica in the photo was simply dressed and looked like eighteen or neen. How could Monica''s photo appear in Zoe''s book? He put the photo into the book and was about to close it when he saw the words "My Love" written on the back of the photo. My love? Zoe loved Monica? How could it be possible? How could Zoe love Monica? Zoe was old enough to be her father. He suddenly remembered that Zoe held her hand outside the tea house. Did Zoe have a crush on Monica? So it was Zoe who took the initiative to give the city construction project to Monica? This also exined why Zoe thought of using the sports meeting project topensate him. He felt guilty in his heart. While Quramy was thinking, Zoe got off the phone and went back to talking to him about the sports meeting. Quarmy wasn''t in the mood to listen to this. He controlled himself and returned the book to its original position. "I''ve heard about it, but the Wang family seems to be interested in it too. If the Wang family gets involved, I''m afraid things won''t go so well." Zoe was stunned. "Who did you hear that from?" "It''s just gossip! But it''s 80% true. The Wang family will definitely not give up such a good opportunity." Quarmy observed the expression on Zoe''s face. "The oue of this matter is still unknown." There was an obvious change in Zoe''s expression. Madrigal and Monica were both his baby daughters, but he owed Monica more. If Monica asked for this project, he would definitely satisfy her first. Quarmy noticed the change in Zoe''s expression and an indescribable emotion welled up in his heart. He had always believed that Zoe was one of the few honest and righteous officials. He did not expect that he was the same as the others. He controlled his impulse to hit him and said goodbye to him. Quarmy''s mood wasplicated. He couldn''t imagine that Zoe and Monica would have that kind of rtionship. Did they already have a rtionship? Or it was just that Zoe had a crush on her? Monica was not that kind of person. She would definitely not have anything to do with a person who could be her father! So it must be wishful thinking on Zoe''s part, right? It must be so! Monica was beautiful, and Zoe must be eyeing her beauty. The cunning Rnd used Monica as bait to lure Zoe into his trap. It seemed that Rnd was not really in love with Monica, but taking advantage of her. He knew that this yboy had ulterior motives. When Quarmy was thinking, he drove the car all the way to Monica''s apartment. After dinner, Monica took Coco to walk outside for a while and then went home to watch TV. When it was about sleeping time, she immediately took a bath for Coco and changed herself into pajamas. Before going to sleep, Coco wanted to have a ss of milk. Monica opened the refrigerator but found that the milk was gone home, so she decided to go out and buy it. When she walked out of the alley entrance, she suddenly felt someone was looking at her. She turned around and saw a car parked on the open space. The car looked low-key outside. When she saw clearly who was sitting in the car, her whole body trembled. Even through the window, she could feel the deep and cold eyes of the man in the car. She did not dare to look at him again and turned to a small store. She had only taken a few steps when the sound of a car door being closed came from behind her. Soon, a familiar scent drew near to her. Quarmy stopped her directly without saying anything. Monica saw that she could not avoid him, so she said with a cold face, "Sir, please excuse me!" Quarmy looked at her ice- cold face and thought back to how she had smiled sweetly at him in the past. He felt so upset. "Monica, what''s your rtionship with Zoe?" Monica was stunned. What did he mean? Did he know about her rtionship with Zoe? So what if he knew? It was all in the past! "Does it have anything to do with you?" Her answer made him more upset. Was she indirectly admitting it? "How can you be so depraved? Zoe is old enough to be your father!" Only then did she understand what he meant. She sneered and raised her tone. "I say, does it have anything to do with you, Sir?" "You..." Quarmy''s face darkened. Monica saw that he was gritting his teeth so tightly that it looked like he was going to hit her. She was a little afraid, but she still red at him. He gritted his teeth for a long time and finally said, "Is this the life you''ve been trying your best to get?" "Yes, what''s wrong with it?" She asked. "Monica, I really regret to know you!" His eyes were filled with pain as he stared at her. He would rather she stay with Leon, or that yboy, Rnd. Both of them were better than that old man. "We are already strangers! Sir, excuse me!" Monica wasn''t polite at all. Quarmy didn''t stop her this time. When Monica came back with milk, she found that Quarmy had already left. She rushed into her apartment with the milk in her hand. Xanjer was surprised to see her in a panic. "What''s wrong, Moni?" "Uncle, I just saw Quarmy at the alley entrance." "What''s he doing here sote at night?" Xanjer asked in surprise. "Could it be because he saw Coco? No. Before he could see Coco''s face, I had left with Coco in my arms." "Regardless of whether he has seen Coco or not, we can''t stay here anymore. Let''s go to the new house tomorrow and clean it up so that we can move in as soon as possible." "Okay!" Xanjer agreed. Quarmy returned home wearily. Jenny was waiting for him in the living room. "Quarmy, you''re back!" Quarmy replied in low spirits and walked through the living room. He was about to head upstairs but Jenny stopped him. "Come over and talk to Mom." He looked at Jenny and sat down on the sofa opposite her. "What do you want to talk about?" He had no expression on his face, and his voice was also very hoarse. Jenny was stunned. Why was her son acting so weird? "Didn''t you go to the Jane family for dinner today? What did they say?" "What do you want them to say?" Quarmy asked. "I thought you were going to talk about the engagement." "Engagement?" Quarmy sneered. "Aren''t you in charge of it?" "Hey! Even so, as the party involved, you should also discuss the details with them. It''s better to ask Madrigal''s opinion." "This engagement is something you want. You can do whatever you want!" Quarmy''s tone was unfriendly. "My child, why do you speak in such a way?" "Did I say something wrong?" Quarmy sneered. "Mom, do you remember what you said to me?" "What is it?" Jenny was puzzled. She had said so much to Quarmy, how could she know what he was referring to? "You said that as long as I promised you two things, you would stay out of my business. You asked me to divorce, I did. You asked me to get engaged, I did. After the engagement, I hope you can abide by the promise!" Jenny was stunned. She seemed to have said it back then, but how could she really stay out of his business? Seeing that Quarmy was in a bad mood, she had no choice but topromise for now. "As long as you are engaged to Madrigal, I will do as I said." Quarmy''s expression softened. "Thank you, Mom!" "Quarmy, I''ve discussed the engagement with Mayor Jane and Madam Jane. Mayor Jane does not have many requirements. As an official, he thinks that it should be simple so that no one will judge him. But we are different. I think we still have to take it seriously. It''s best to inform the media first!" "I''m not a celebrity, what''s the point of informing the media?" Quarmy asked in reply. "There will definitely be countless media paying attention to your engagement. Instead of letting them run wild stories, let''s get the news out ourselves." Quarmy was a little impatient. "It''s just an engagement ceremony. There is no need to make a lot of publicity." "That''s true, but it can''t be too simple. After all, we have to show our respect for Zoe." "Zoe? Why?" Quarmy suddenly flew into a rage. For the first time, he was angry at Jenny. "Do you have nothing to do? How can you think so highly of an unimportant engagement?" After saying this, he got up and went upstairs. An unimportant engagement? Why did Jenny feel that it sounded so unpleasant? This seemed to be what she used to say to Monica. It was just that this time, the person who said it was not herself, but Quarmy. Looking at Quarmy''s lonely back, Jenny felt very confused. What happened to him? It seemed to be the first time he had gotten mad at her after he got divorced. What happened? Quarmy closed the door andy on the bed powerlessly. He really didn''t want to believe that Monica and Zoe had that kind of rtionship. There must be some misunderstanding. Monica was not the kind of person who didn''t love herself. How could she have a rtionship with an old man who was old enough to be her father? He must have misunderstood her. His head ached again when he thought of how Queen easily won the city construction project, and Zoe''s hesitation when he was mentioning Queen and the sports meeting. He could be sure that there must be a secret between Monica and Zoe. He must figure out what it was! This night, Quarmy tossed and turned on the bed, not sleeping until thetter half of the night. He dreamed of Monica, who smiled like a flower and said to him affectionately in a low voice, "Quarmy, Quarmy!" There was an infinite charm in her voice that made him willing to indulge in it. "Moni!" He reached out and wanted to grab her hand, but she moved away gently and walked in another direction. A tall and handsome man stood there, with a gentle smile on his face. He stood there in a daze and watched them embrace each other and leave hand in hand. His heart ached as if it had been torn apart. The pain made him open his eyes. "Damn it! It''s a dream!" Coco was sound asleep and snoring. Monica was tossing and turning and couldn''t sleep. Although she tried not to think about it, her humiliating past would still appear in her mind. She was under great pressure when she was with Quarmy. He was handsome and rich. How could he fall in love with a poor girl like her? At first, she resisted him, and subconsciously refused to get close to him. Later, she was slowly moved by him and indulged in his tenderness. She knew that Jenny didn''t like her. Since the first time they met, she had seen Jenny''s long face. Jenny looked at her with picky eyes and disdainful expression. Her voice was arrogant. "How old are you? What do your parents do?" Monica could feel great dissatisfaction with Jenny''s expression and voice. She looked at Quarmy and suppressed the grievance in her heart, trying her best to be polite. After hearing that Monica''s mother had passed away, Jenny''s face was longer. "How could this happen? Is it because of you?" Jenny meant that Monica was a jinx. Monica''s expression suddenly changed. Quarmy held her hand and said, "Mom, it''s a feudal superstition!" Jenny snorted and was very upset with her son for defending Monica. "She looks so weak. Is she fertile?" Monica didn''t know how to answer her question. She could only remain silent. Quarmy said, "Mom, it''s the first time you''ve met. Why are you saying these things?" Everyone was unhappy this time. Quarmy sent Monica back, and she asked worriedly, "Quarmy, your mother doesn''t like me very much." "Don''t think too much about it. My mom has been direct. She doesn''t mean that." Quarmy consoled her. A few dayster, she saw Jenny in the cafe that she was working in. At that time, Jenny and Madrigal were drinking coffee together, which was given by her. Jenny spoke in a very sharp way. "Madrigal, you know what? people should know themselves well, instead of aspiring after something they are not worthy of." This was obviously said to Monica, who was immediately irritated. Thinking of Quarmy, she gritted her teeth and held back her anger. Holding the tray, she turned around and left. A few dayster, Jenny came to see her again. She clearly told her that she didn''t like her. She wanted to be Madrigal''s mother-inw and asked Monica to take the initiative to leave Quarmy. Monica looked at her aggressive look and felt disgusted to the extreme. She asked Jenny, "If Madrigal didn''t have a father like Zoe, would you still like her?" Jenny was annoyed by her question. She threw a check for 500,000 in her face and forced her to break up. Monica really wanted to throw the check on Jenny''s face, but she controlled herself and left. She asked for a breakup with Quarmy after returning home. Quarmy begged her desperately, but she didn''t change her mind. After that, Quarmy kept going to the bar to get drunk and was finally sent to the hospital because of stomach bleeding. Seeing that, Jenny finallypromised, and she reluctantly called Monica to go to the hospital. As soon as Quarmy saw Monica, he held onto her hand tightly and did not let her leave. As a result, she acquiesced to their being together. However, what followed this was her reluctance. Since Monica and Quarmy got married, she had never treated Monica as her daughter- in-w. She constantly satirized her and went to meet Madrigal. Especially after she found out that Monica couldn''t give birth, she became even more mean. Monica was often forced to drink Chinese medicine that was said to cure infertility. Furthermore, Jenny would give some strange prescriptions. One day, she found a supposedly miraculous remedy for infertility that turned out to be drinking ck ants in white wine. She said that Monica could get pregnant after drinking it, but Monica felt disgusted to the extreme when she saw it. She didn''t drink ording to Jenny''s requirements. Therefore, Jenny yelled at her to drink or get out, and asked her not to be a dog in the manger. At first, Monica had tried her best to put up with it, but her patience was limited. The mental and physical pressure finally made her unable to bear it and start a quarrel with Jenny. She began to oppose Jenny. Quamry caught them arguing a couple of times. Jenny was especially good at acting. She was originally angry and cursing Monica, but when she saw her son, she immediately pretended to be bullied and wanted tomit suicide, forcing Quarmy to divorce Monica. Monica had enough of this kind of life, she really couldn''t stand it anymore. She had a deep talk with Quarmy. She said that she didn''t want any more medicine or examination that gave her goosebumps. The Huo Family couldn''t be without a son. She couldn''t me Quarmy, so she decided to break up with him. Quarmy had an unimaginable expression on his face as he held her tightly in his arms. "Moni, don''t be silly. To me, everything is unimportant except for you. I just want you!" Women were all fools who liked men''s vows. Once again, she made a concession because of Quarmy. Because of this, Quarmy had finally made up his mind and had a deep conversation with Jenny. Monica didn''t know what he had said to Jenny, but Jenny had actually agreed to let them move away. Without Jenny, Monica''s life was much better. She no longer had to endure the pain and mental torture of drinking traditional Chinese medicine. Quarmy and she had spent a rtively calm period of time together. Perhaps it was because of her mood that she finally got pregnant. The moment she received the diagnosis bill for pregnancy, she was ecstatic. She wanted to give Quarmy a surprise. That day was their wedding day. She made Quarmy''s favorite dishes, bought flowers, and prepared red wine to have a candlelight dinner with him. At the same time, she wanted to announce her pregnancy. Reality and imagination were contradicting each other after all. Monica had never imagined that Quarmy would cheat on her. He just wanted her? He had already found a fertile mistress, of course, he wouldfort her like that. It was funny that she actually believed him. Fortunately, Madrigal came to her in time. She hated Madrigal, but when she thought about it, she was very grateful to her. If it weren''t for Madrigal, how could she know that Quarmy was such a disgusting man? How could she witness how despicable and ugly he was under his mask of hypocrisy? When she didn''t expose him, he swore that he would love her forever and everything about him was hers. But when the lie was exposed, his hypocrisy and sinister came out at once. He couldn''t wait to divorce her with extreme ruthlessness. When Monica saw the divorce agreement, she really wanted to you are everything; when he dislikes you, you are nothing." Indeed, she was the most stupid one. She signed the agreement without hesitation and did not hesitate to wear the clothes Xanjer bought for her to get out of the house. The next morning, Monica went to thepany with panda eyes. Looking at her dark circles, Rnd Monica was not in the mood to joke with him. She started working in silence while Rnd kept ncing at her. Why did he think that this woman had a lot on her mind? Was it because of Leon? He hadn''t known that the woman in Leon''s heart was actually Monica before. He did not know what kind of rtionship it was between Leon and her. He was sure that Leon liked her, but what about her? Monica was a straightforward woman. Rnd could be sure that she didn''t love Leon ording to his intuition. Otherwise, with all the years Leon had known her, his tenderness would have touched her long ago. Knowing that she was the woman that Leon liked, Rnd felt awkward. It was said that people should not covet their friends'' wives. He should have known voluntarily quit. But it was not the case now. He found that he could not control himself. This was the first time in his life that he could not give up on someone. He knew very well what he wanted. He liked her and wanted to protect her as well as give her plenty of warmth and love. However, this woman didn''t like him. He knew she wasn''t like his previous girlfriends. His image of a yboy had already been deeply rooted in her heart. He was nothingpared to Leon. However, he did not want to give up because of this. As a man, he had to strive for everything he wanted. Monica was his goal now. Based on the look that Monica chose Evan on her blind date, he could tell that she liked gentlemen. During this time, he also tried to make himself gentle. It seemed that her attitude toward him had changed a little. It seemed that women all liked gentlemen. He had used the right trick. Before he knew that she was Leon''s sweetheart, he had wanted to win her over slowly. Now it seemed that he couldn''t wait any longer. He must take action as soon as possible. He had already made it clear to Leon that it would be a fairpetition. Since it was a fairpetition, he had to let Monica know that he liked her. He decided to officially tell her how he felt. Rnd was a yboy. He knew that women were emotional animals who liked the romance. In order to please Monica, he booked a western restaurant, got a house full of rose, balloons, and candles. He was ready to have a romantic courtship. Monica didn''t know what he was up to until he tricked her into going to a western restaurant. The flowers, balloons, and candlelight dinner in front of her reminded her of Quarmy. At that time, he used this method to trick her. Now she thought about it, she found that she was really stupid at that time. Her experience proved that men''s vows were bullsh*t! Monica reached out to pick up a rose and sniffed it. A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Rnd did not know what she was thinking. He even thought that she was moved. Therefore, in ordance with the rehearsed process, the lights suddenly dimmed, the soothing music sounded, and the candlelight flickered. After preparing for a while, Rnd said, "Monica, please be my girlfriend!" Monica looked at him. "Why is it me?" "I like you!" "You like me?" Monica smiled yfully. "Don''t you despise me for being a divorced woman?" "I''ve never despised you." Rnd rified. "I''m just a little upset that I''m not the one you met in the first ce. Why did you have to get hurt like that? Fortunately, I''m here. Monica, I like you. Please be my girlfriend. You don''t need to work so hard with me around. I''ll respect you and won''t force you to do anything..." A hiss ofughter pierced the air above the restaurant. Then, an abrupt voice rang out. "Is Mr. Wang acting?" Rnd and Monica turned around and saw Quarmy, who was wearing a navy suit without a tie, standing out of the entrance of the western restaurant with arms crossed. Quarmy could be said to have a grudge against Rnd. The first thing was about the city construction project. When he thought that Rnd used Monica as bait to lure Zoe, he was very angry. He had been asking Noah to keep an eye on the Wang family. When he heard about the restaurant thing, he guessed what this yboy wanted to do. Monica was his. How could he let others covet her? He drove here without thinking too much. Rnd was a little angry. He had booked a whole western restaurant. Why did Quarmy suddenly appear? "I''m sorry, Mr. Wang!" Ignoring Rnd''s expression, Quarmy strode over and sat down next to Monica. "I have a special affection for this western restaurant, so I came here for a meal. I didn''t expect that it''s not open to the public today. I heard that Mr. Wang booked the restaurant, so I shamelessly came in. We''re acquaintances, you won''t mind treating me to a meal, will you?" "Screw you!" Rnd even wanted to crush Quarmy''s head. Was Quarmy blind? Couldn''t he see what he was doing here? Quarmy looked around with a smile. "Roses, balloons, and a candlelight dinner! Wow, so beautiful! It looks like a romantic courtship. Mr. Wang, didn''t you say that rabbits don''t eat the grass beside their burrows? Did you take a fancy to someone else and ask Miss Mo to practice?" "Please be careful when you speak, Mr. Huo!" Said Rnd. He could tell that Quarmy was here to mess things up. "Don''t be embarrassed. We''re on the same side!" Quarmy was still smiling. "Miss Mo and Mr. Wang didn''t seem to have known each other for long, right?" "How did you know that, Mr. Huo?" Monica gave a fake smile. What was Quarmy trying to do here? "Mr. Wang is a romantic person. He likes to pursue girls in a romantic way. I remember that Mr. Wang had done a great thing that shocked the whole city a few years ago. Do you know that, Miss Mo?" "Quarmy Huo!" Rnd''s face changed and his tone was full of warning. "Mr. Wang, why are you so nervous?" Quarmy had a faint smile on his face and his eyes were filled with coldness. Monica was interested in what Quarmy said. "What''s that, Mr. Wang?" "Miss Mo, do you really want to hear it?" Quarmy smiled. "Let''s talk while we eat!" This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. He naturally pped his hands, and the waiter came in with food. Quarmy didn''t care about Rnd''s gloomy face. He took Rnd''s tableware of Rnd and started to eat happily. "Delicious! I''m starving! Mr. Wang, why don''t you eat?" Rnd couldn''t stand it anymore. He grabbed Quarmy''s cor and wanted to punch him. Quarmy, who had already guessed his move, reached out his hand to block his attack. He didn''t forget to mock him. "Mr. Wang, what are you doing? Everyone knows that you used to woo Caroline, the big star, at your beach house in Maldives. I just mentioned it casually. Why are you angry?" "Bastard!" Rnd gave another punch, and Quarmy dodged. "At that time, Mr. Wang was deeply in love with Miss Caroline, and his courtship caused a sensation. Everyone thought they would be with each other forever, but Mr. Wangter broke up with Miss Caroline for a model. Miss Caroline was so pitiful that she even wanted tomit suicide for him. This matter was really a big deal at that time!" "Quarmy, I''ll beat you to death today!" Rnd knew that he was going to fail, so he rushed over like a crazy dog and the two grappled with each other. Monica was anxious that she couldn''t stop them. The fierce fight didn''t stop until both of them were injured. Rnd''s face was beaten ck and blue, while Quarmy''s mouth was bleeding. Monica stepped forward to help Rnd up. "Mr. Wang, are you alright?" "I''m fine!" Rnd viciously red at Quarmy. "Just wait and see, Quarmy. This isn''t over!" Monica helped him up. "Let''s go to the hospital." Seeing that Monica wasn''t even looking at him, Quarmy reminded her in the back. "Miss Mo, you must learn from Caroline''s lesson and be careful to repeat her mistakes!" Monica ignored him. Holding Rnd, Monica drove to the hospital. In the car, Rnd''s face was gloomy. Monica did not see him but concentrate on driving. After a while, Rnd broke the silence. "Don''t you want to ask me something?" "Ask you? Why?" Monica asked. "You!" said Rnd as the corners of his mouth twitched. "I''m telling you, things are not like what he said! Got it?" "Oh!" Monica replied tly. "Monica, you really don''t like me at all?" Rnd was crazy about her indifference. "Mr. Wang, I respect you as my boss. That''s all." Monica answered. "Don''t call me Mr. Wang, call my name!" Her answer made him suddenly furious. "Is that appropriate?" "What''s wrong with it? Just do as I say!" Rnd ordered. Monica quickly agreed. He softened his tone said, "Monica, I''m really not a bad guy. Can''t you try to like me?" "No!" Monica''s answer was firm. "You... I''m telling you, don''t regret it!" "Don''t worry, I won''t!" Rnd leaned back dejectedly. Suddenly, he went crazy and ordered, "Stop!" When Monica inexplicably stopped the car, he pushed her out of the car and said, "Since you don''t like me, get out of here! Don''t let me see you again!" After that, he moved to the driver''s seat and threw her bag out of the car. He stepped on the elerator and the car sped away. In the rearview mirror, he saw that she was growing smaller and smaller, and his heart felt empty. It was all thanks to that damned Quarmy! "This isn''t over!" Monica picked up her bag and sighed. Rnd always did things without caring about the consequences. How could he just leave her on the road? Fortunately, her cell phone and wallet were in the bag so that she could go home by taxi. After driving for a while, Rnd started to worry about her, so he turned back to the position where he kicked her out of the car. Looking at the empty ce, he was worried that she''d been taken away by others. However, when he thought of how ruthless she was to him just now, he didn''t want to talk to her at all. Therefore, he called Beck and let him ask where Special assistant Mo was. Beck muttered in his heart, "What''s wrong with Mr. Wang? Why doesn''t he call her himself?" He dared not refute and called Monica. After hearing that she was on her way home, he called Rnd back, who then felt relieved and went to the hospital. Monica and Xanjer quickly moved home. They didn''t have many things, so they moved quickly. The two of them were very happy to move to their new home. Although it was only a two- bedroom apartment, it was much brighter than the previous one. Monica went to the market near themunity to buy vegetables, and then made a meal happily in order to celebrate this day with Xanjer and Coco. Xanjer was a little drunk. "Our Moni is really amazing. Your mother will be very happy for you." "Yes, Mom will be very happy." Monica pinched a chicken leg into the te in front of Xanjer. "Uncle, taste it." "At that time, your mom often scrimped and saved to buy chicken legs for me." Xanjer did not eat the chicken leg, and his face showed sadness. "Moni, you know what? I have deep feelings for your mother. She used to be my only family in this world. I really hate myself for letting your mother marry Zoe. If it weren''t for that an ungrateful man, you wouldn''t have been bullied like that." "Uncle, it''s all over!" Monicaforted him. Every time he mentioned her mother, he would be very sad. Her mother was a taboo to him. "Moni, it''s my fault. If it weren''t for me, your mother wouldn''t have ended up like this." Xanjer''s eyes were full of tears and sadness. "It''s all my fault, it''s all my fault!" Monica quickly got up and handed a napkin to him. "Uncle, today is not a sad day. Please don''t talk about this." "Well, fine. We have to be happy." Xanjer wiped his tears and looked at Monica with caring eyes. It took Leon a lot of effort toe here. Before he went back, Monica naturally had to apany him for a walk in Jiang City. After dressing up, Monica went out to the hotel where Leon lived with Coco. Seeing them, Leon was very happy. "I thought you were just talking about it. I didn''t expect that you would really take a leave for __ _ ii me. "Sounds like I''m an indifferent guy!" Monica red at him. "Leon, today I must let you see the most beautiful scenery in Jiang City!" "Well, in that case, I''d better follow your orders." Leon picked up Coco and said, "Let''s go!" Monica was determined to let Leon have a taste of the famous scenic spots and historical sites in Jiang City, but Leon was not interested in this. He asked Monica, "Moni, take me to where you lived when you were a kid." "Are you sure?" Monica asked back. When she was a child, she lived in the lowest-level environment. She didn''t understand why Leon would be interested in this ce. "I''m sure!" Leon replied. "Well, okay. But I warn you, I''m from a poor family and I didn''t live in a beautiful ce. If you''re not satisfied with it, don''t me me!" "No, I won''t!" Leon had never been to the tube-shaped apartment before, but he seemed to be very familiar with this ce, which surprised Monica. There was a grocery store on the left of the alley, and a noodle shop on the right. Opposite it was a clothing shop. Monica was surprised when she saw him talking about it. "Leon, how did you know that?" "Isn''t this what you told me? I''m going to eat the oil-sshing noodles that you praised before and stinky tofu. There''s no ice stick costs two cents left, right?" "You can only have stinky tofu and noodles. An ice stick is at least 50 cents now, not the same taste as before." Monica replied. The taxi stopped at the alley of the tube-shaped apartment. They got off. Monica looked around and saw a few excavators. She patted her head regretfully and said, "Damn. This ce will be demolished soon. The noodle shop should be closed now. The stinky tofu won''t be avable either!" "The demolition?" Leon frowned and fixed his eyes on the banner on the scene. The word "VSUS" came into his eyes. "Quarmy''spany?" "Yes, VSUS wants to build arge shopping mall here." Monica nodded. "This ce will soon be a ruin. It won''t take long to turn this ce into a market. Everything I had when I was a child will forever be a thing in the past!" Leon looked at her. "Moni, is it hard for you to let go?" "No! Society is making progress and the era is developing. As the oldest ce in Jiang City, it is impossible for the tube-shaped apartment to exist forever. But I''ll remember it!" Monica smiled. "Today is a good day. Let''s take some photos! To be honest, I''ve lived here for so many years, but I haven''t taken any photos here!" "Okay!" Leon took out his phone. "Let me be your free photographer!" After Quarmy arrived at thepany, Noah asked him to sign the documents regarding the demolition of the tube- shaped apartment. "Mr. Huo, the construction team is starting to demolish today. It''s estimated that we''ll be able to demolish it in a month''s time..." He didn''t finish his words, but Quarmy understood what he meant. The demolition woulde to the alley where Monica lived in ten dayster. Quarmy slowly frowned. He had long prepared to build a business district there, but she grew up there. He knew all her memories of that tube- shaped apartment. The ice stick cost 20 cents in summer, the oil- sshing noodles at the alley entrance, and delicious stinky tofu...In the three years, she had been gone, he had never dared to touch that ce. It was her home. He was afraid that he would be unable to find her one day. Now that she was back, the project could be carried out. He signed on the documents. Noah went out with the file. Quarmy, however, was not in the mood to work. Thinking that the tube- shaped apartment building would soon be a ruin, he really couldn''t sit still anymore. So he got up, grabbed his coat, and drove to the tube- shaped apartment building. Because of the demolition, there was a steady stream of people moving out. His car was blocked on the road. "I shouldn''t have taken you here. There are so many cars and people..." A familiar voice rang out. Quarmy looked over and saw Monica. She wasn''t alone. That handsome Leon was standing next to her. Leon was holding a child in his arms. The child''s back was facing him, so he couldn''t see his face clearly. He saw Monica kiss the child. He knew very well how much she wanted a child. His heart suddenly tightened. When he was absent- minded, the blocked road was dredged. Monica and Leon passed in his car with that child. He could see her happy smile, but she didn''t see him. They were like strangers, right? An indescribable feeling upied his heart, and he felt like something was blocking his chest. Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Quarmy stopped the car and turned back, but Leon and Monica had already left. He didn''t know why, but when he saw Leon and Monica appearing together at the tube-shaped apartment building, he felt a sense of unease in his heart. The tube- shaped apartment was a ce where Monica''s happiness was recorded. She had said that she would only share her happiness with him. Now that she had brought Leon back, what did this mean? She wanted to share her own happiness with Leon. There was a fire burning in his heart. This woman was too cruel. He wanted to see how she could share her happiness with another man with her ex- husband around. Quarmy stopped his car and searched the alley near the tube-shaped apartment for a while, but he didn''t see Monica and Leon. He had seen clearly that they were walking with a child. It was impossible for them to disappear so quickly. Quarmy suddenly remembered Monica''s favorite river behind the tube-shaped apartment. He hurried over to the river bank. Monica did take Leon and Coco to the river. The development of Jiang City was fast, but the tubeshaped apartment had been maintaining its former appearance for more than ten years. It was not polluted because of ack of development. The river was crystal clear, and the grass was green. Standing on the river bank, people could see that little tadpoles and fish were swimming inside. "I used to catch fish here when I was a child." Monica stood by the river and looked at it with some feelings. "At that time, my family was very poor and couldn''t afford to buy expensive food, so I came here to catch fish. Once when it was raining heavily upstream, there was a sudden flood and I was suddenly swept away. Fortunately, there was a big tree over there, so I caught it and didn''t get swept away. Since such a thrilling thing happened, my uncle has never allowed me to catch fish again." In her description, Leon could imagine how dangerous she was at that time. He looked at her with distress. "You must have had a hard time at that time, didn''t you?" "Yes, but I''m very happy!" Monica answered, "Since that, I''ve often dreamed of catching fish." Coco, who was standing on one side, was very excited when he heard that. He said, "Mom, I want to catch fish." Monica and Leon looked at each other and smiled. "Okay!" In front of Leon, she took off her shoes, rolled up her pants, and went into the river. The river was cool and the sand was soft. After more than ten years, she felt it again. Monica sighed, "Today may be the Coco couldn''t understand what she meant. He followed her and held a stic bottle tomand her. Although Monica hadn''t caught fish for many years, she was still skillful. She quickly caught a few fish and put them in Coco''s bottle. Coco was very happy. He raised the bottle to Leon and said, "Uncle Gu,e on!" Seeing how happy they were, Leon was tempted and immediately joined them. He grew up in a rich family and didn''t know how to catch fish. When he and Coco saw fish swimming towards them, he stretched out his hands unskillfully to catch them. Of course, they failed. Instead, they were covered with water. Monica burst intoughter when she saw that. The mud in the river reminded her of the days when she and her friends were dirtying each other''s faces with mud. She suddenly became mischievous. She grabbed a piece of mud and smeared it on Leon''s face. Leon was staring at the fish and did not expect her to sneak upon him. Thus, she smeared his face with mud and Cocoughed out loud. Monica certainly would not let Coco go. She did it to him again. "Mom, you bad guy!" Coco couldn''t stand it anymore and smeared Monica''s face with mud. Leon came to his aid, then Monica''s face was covered with mud. The three people''s faces were covered with mud, which looked very funny. "Mom, are we now making a facial mask?" Coco asked innocently. "Yes, we are making natural mud masks!" After saying that, Monica and Leon looked at each other and Quarmy rushed over to the river to see such a happy and harmonious scene. He felt upset and strode towards them. When Monica saw him, her heart skipped a beat. "Why is he here?" Seeing Quarmy, Leon reached out to hold her hand tofort her. Seeing that, Quarmy''s eyes darkened a little. Leon was provoking him! Fury spread in Quarmy''s chest. He really wanted to go up and beat the crap out of Leon, causing him to lose all his face in front of Monica. However, he could only dream it in his heart. There was no reason for him to do it. He walked over and looked at the three people in the river. "Mr. Gu, hello!" Although he had taken the initiative to greet Leon, his eyes were full of hostility. Leon ignored his hostility and said, "Are you here to inspect the work?" How could hee to the river to inspect? Quarmy knew that Leon said it on purpose. "The scenery here is beautiful. It''s a good ce, especially for elder people. I''m going to build a house by the river, so I''m here to take a look at the terrain today." While he was speaking, he stared at Monica with burning eyes. In the past, she always snuggled up in his arms and talked about her childhood. She often mentioned this river. She said that when she got old, she would build a house here for her parents and catch fish for him every day. Monica calmed down after a moment of panic. Coco''s face was covered with mud and Quarmy couldn''t see his face clearly. What was she afraid of? Her eyes shed with sarcasm. "I used to think so, but now I find that it is only the idea of a fool." "You!" Quarmy didn''t expect her to make a simple summary of the past. He was so angry that he couldn''t say a word. Leon added. "You''ve always been a fool, but I like it." Hearing that, Quarmy went mad. He sneered and said, "What would Old Mrs. Gu think if she finds out that Mr. Gu is ying mud in Jiang City?" "Mr. Huo, you''re worrying too much. My grandmother is too old to care for her children and grandchildren now. But I heard that Madam Huo was very eager to have a grandson. She carefully selected a suitable match for you. Recently, she''s been apanying her daughter-inw every day to arrange the engagement. It''s such a blessing to have such a mother, right?" Quarmy hadn''t expected Leon to bring up this matter. He wasn''t willing to get engaged to Madrigal, but now wasn''t the time to exin. Leon was using this to p him in the face. He sneered, "Mr. Gu, you''re N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. really a sharp-tongued man!" "Mr. Huo is really good at praising people. However,pared to Mr. Huo, who is unfaithful and ungrateful, being sharp-tongued is not a big deal!" Leon retorted sarcastically. It was obvious that Leon was standing up for Monica. Quarmy sneered. "Mr. Gu is both affectionate and righteous, but it''s a pity that you didn''t put your effort in the right ces. Will a gentleman have a crush on a married woman?" "Why can''t I? I''m a upright man who doesn''t have to worry about being judged by others. There are some hypocrites who appear to be gentlemen, but in fact, they''ve done all kinds of dirty things. You must have a lot of those around you, right?" "You!" Quarmy was furious. In the past, Leon had never lost to others in a debate. Wasn''t he embarrassing himself by provoking Leon? Naturally, Coco couldn''t understand what happened between the three adults. When he saw arge butterfly flying past on the grass, he strode up to the shore to chase after it. Quarmy had been paid attention to only Leon and Monica all the time. When Monica saw Coco go ashore to chase the butterfly, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She reminded Leon, "You''re wet. Let''s go ashore." Leon nodded and pulled her hand. While wearing his shoes, he looked at Quarmy with a hint of provocation. "Mr. Huo, don''t forget to invite me to your engagement. I''ll be there to congratte you." Quarmy had no choice but to keep silent. Monica was in a good mood when she saw that Quarmy had suffered a setback. That was called karma. She put on her shoes and saw Coco running far away. She reminded Leon, "It''s almost noon, let''s go eat." Leon naturally agreed. When he walked past Quarmy, he did not forget to mock him. "Mr. Huo, take your time studying the terrain. We won''t disturb you any further." Quarmy watched as the two of them swaggered past him. Seeing that they had caught up to Coco and put his shoes on, he finally reacted. He hadn''t paid attention to the child. From the way the child and Leon were close to each other, could it be that this was the child that had suddenly appeared beside Leon? He had been following Leon before for Monica. Instead of seeing Monica, he suddenly saw in the media that Leon had a child beside him. Leon didn''t get married, so it was strange for him to have a child. The media had been investigating the child''s identity, but there had never been any clue. The child appeared next to Leon as if he had fallen from the sky. Later, the media spected that the child was Leon''s illegitimate child. Leon didn''t deny it, and the Gu family didn''te out to rify it. Quarmy sneered when he saw the news. "Didn''t Monica always think that Leon was a gentleman? If she knew Leon had an illegitimate child, what would she think?" He thought. But now he found that he was wrong. Monica seemed to be very fond of the child beside Leon. It seemed that she had already known it for a long time, and she had a good rtionship with the child. Indeed, in her heart, he was nothingpared to Leon. She could ept Leon having an illegitimate child, but she could not ept him having another child. She didn''t even care about the reason. Quarmy suddenly became very angry. He strode back into the car and leaned against the back of the chair. He suddenly felt himself ridiculous. She was the only in his heart, but she never loved him. His days were like years without her, while hers were easy. When he thought of her Leon and Rnd, he couldn''t help but feel bad. "Why don''t I move on? A heartless woman doesn''t deserve my love." Quarmy thought, but at the same time, he was unwilling to move on. A charming voice echoed in his mind, "I want to hold your hand and grow old with you!" Monica, you promised me that! You could never deny! After thinking for a moment, Quarmy called Noah. "Get someone to tell Old Mrs. Gu that her precious grandson is wandering around with my woman in Jiang City. Ask her what does that mean." "I''ll do it right away!" Noah immediately promised. "There is one more thing. Tell Kim that his future son-inw has been pestering a divorced woman all the time, which is widely spread in Jiang City. It''s really ridiculous." Noah promised again. He thought, "Who says that women are good at being jealous? Men can be even more jealous! Mr. Huo is really trying to get rid of his rival in love." Hanging up the phone, Quarmy rubbed his forehead. He finally felt better. He did not believe that Old Mrs. Gu would be indifferent when she heard that her precious grandson and Monica were together. Even when Monica was unmarried, Old Mrs. Gu did not agree her to be with Leon, let alone now. As long as Mrs. Gu interfered, the annoying Leon would disappear from Jiang City soon. As for Rnd, as long as Kim called Old Mr. Wang, he believed that the Wang family would take action immediately. Quarmy felt happy again at the thought of this. Monica and Leon left the tube-shaped apartment with Coco. When they were taking a taxi, they found others looking at them strangely, only to find that their faces were covered with mud. Regardless of others'' strange looks, they stopped a taxi and returned home. Xanjer was shocked to see theme back. "I thought you wouldn''te back for lunch, so I didn''t buy food. I''m going to buy some now." "Don''t bother. Noodles is fine." Leon replied. Monica nodded. "Uncle, please. Leon isn''t picky." Xanjer''s movements were fast. The three of them went to wash their faces. When they came out, there was already hot egg noodles on the table. Coco ate half a bowl of noodles and went to sleep. Monica took Coco into the bedroom and ced him on the bed. Leon had already finished eating and was tidying up the table with Xanjer. Monica poured a ss of water for Leon. The two of them sat on the sofa to talk. Thinking about Quarmy''s expression today, Leon frowned slightly. "What''s up with Quarmy? Is it a coincidence?" "He might be inspecting the work." Monica answered. "The inspection brought him to the riverside? Why do I feel like he was following us?" Leon did not believe that. "I don''t think he would be so bored to do so. Maybe it''s just a coincidence." Monica answered. "Looking at his expression today, I don''t think he has given up on you." "So what? It''s enough for me to give up on him." Monica sneered. Thinking about it, she was a little angry. "If Coco wasn''t here today, I would have throw all the mud on his face!" Leon frowned slightly. "Moni, you and Quarmy are in the same city. He will know Coco''s indentity sooner orter. You have to think of a way to deal with it earlier. You can''t panic as you did today." Monica nodded. "I know what I''m doing. Don''t worry. I was in a panic because I wasn''t ready. It won''t happen again." "You already have a solution? What''s it?" Leon was puzzled. "Yes. Coco is my child. I will admit it in the future. What can he say?" "Quarmy isn''t that easy to fool. Coco looks like you. He''ll definitely investigate it. What if he finds out the truth?" Leon wasn''t as optimistic as Monica was. "Why don''t you let Coco go with me?" "Leon, you have already done too much for me. I''m very grateful for your help. But this time, I must keep Coco by my side." Monica was very determined. She had entrusted Coco to Leon because she did not have the ability to raise him. But now it was different. She had a stable job and could give Coco a stable life. She didn''t want to suffer the pain of separating from her son. "I know you can''t leave Coco, but I''m worried that Quarmy would know the truth and steal your child from you. With his abilities, you''ll definitely lose." "I won''t let him know the truth. I cheated on Coco''s birth. ording to the date, I was pregnant after I left him for three months." "Quarmy isn''t a fool. He''ll definitely check it." "Don''t worry, I have something more convincing." Monica replied, "He will definitely believe it." Leon sat for a while and then left. When he returned to the hotel, Rnd came. Looking at his dark eyes, Leon was surprised. "What happened?" "Didn''t Monica tell you?" Rnd asked. "No." Hearing that, Rnd felt sad and said, "This woman is really fu*king heartless!" He told Leon about his fight with Quarmy. "Do you think there''s something wrong with Quarmy? Why does he have to ruin my ns? What does he want?" "How would I know? Maybe he doesn''t like you." Leon lied. He knew that Quarmy must have been jealous that Rnd liked Monica. But since Quarmy had such a crush on Monica, why did he cheat? Was there any reason for this? But no matter what the reason was, he shouldn''t have cheated, should he? "Could it be that he also likes Monica?" Rnd muttered to himself. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was true. "If so, I''ll definitely make him suffer." "How?" Leon countered. "I''m going to anger him by telling him Monica''s true identity." Rnd was proud. Wasn''t Quarmy in a rtionship with Zoe''s youngest daughter? If he knew that Monica was Zoe''s eldest daughter, that would be fun. "Nonsense!" Leon''s face darkened all of a sudden. "You can''t tell anyone about Moni''s identity." Seeing Leon''s change of expression, Rnd remembered that Monica had asked him to keep her identity a secret. He knew that he had made a mistake and smiled awkwardly. "I can''t understand. Since she isn''t an illegitimate daughter, why doesn''t she want others to know about her rtionship with Zoe? Isn''t it a very glorious thing to have such a father?" "Everyone has their own ideas and purposes. She must have her own reasons. You just have to remember not to reveal the rtionship between her and Zoe." "I was just saying. I''ll keep her words in mind." said Rnd. "But this isn''t over. I''ll pay Quarmy back in the future." "You''re always a jealous man!" Leon shook his head. Rnd red at him. "Am I jealous? Quarmy messed up my ns again and again!" "If you hadn''t been so impulsive, would you have let him get a hold of you and attack you?" Leon asked back. "You''re right. But I had no choice!" Rnd had a bitter look on his face. "Leon, to tell you the truth, I really don''t like Mandy." "You don''t like her but you love her, right?" Leon joked. "No, not at all! You know, rabbits don''t eat the grass by their burrows. Mandy grew up with me. How can I love her?" "Rabbits don''t eat the grass by their burrows? What about Monica?" "Monica didn''t grow up with me, so she is different from Mandy. Leon, I beg you. I really don''t want you to be my cousin-inw. You should advise Mandy to give up on me. I can''t stand it!" "Rnd, people should be conscientious. Do you think I want to have a cousin-inw like you?" Leon snorted. "Since we all don''t want it, please help me. I really don''t want to be a yboy anymore. If it weren''t for the fact that I was avoiding Mandy''s pestering, would I have had to court Caroline in such a big way?" "Rnd, you''re wrong. If you don''t like Mandy, you should make it clear to her. Otherwise, she will get you wrong." "You wronged me. I told her very clearly, but she just didn''t believe it. You know that the Wang family has always wanted to marry the Gu family. Unfortunately, I''m asked to sacrifice for it. You have a good rtionship with Mandy, please persuade her. I am not worthy of her." Leon''s phone rang as Rnd spoke. A woman''s hurried voice could be heard. "Leon, bad news!" Hearing the female voice, Rnd slightly frowned and stood up subconsciously. Leon wanted tough. Mandy was not a fierce beast. Why was Rnd so afraid of her? "What happened, Mandy?" "Grandma fainted!" "Fainted?" Leon was shocked. "How did that happen?" "I don''t know. I just received a call from the servant. I''m on my way to the hospital." "Have you informed others?" "Yes. Leon, don''t worry. I''m just telling you this. Maybe there''s nothing wrong with Grandma. I''ll call you after see her at the hospital." Leon agreed and hung up the phone. Seeing the worried look on his face, Rnd tried to reassure him. "Nothing will happen. Don''t worry!" "Grandma is getting old, and her health is getting worse in recent years. I''m very worried." Leon sighed. He was raised by his grandma and had a very strong affection for her. It was impossible for him not to worry. "Let''s wait for Mandy''s call." Leon nodded, with a worried look on his face. Rnd had to say goodbye to him. ording to Noah''s report, Old Mrs. Gu had already thought of a way to let Leon leave. Quarmy was in a very good mood. In the afternoon, he went to see a few clients and had dinner outside. After dinner, he went to the KTV before returning home. On the way home, his phone rang. He answered the phone and heard a strange female voice. "Is that Mr. Huo?" "Who are you?" Quarmy asked. "I am a friend of Madrigal. We had a party this evening. Madrigal has drunk too much. Can you pick her up?" Nee''s voice was indescribably charming. Quarmy was stunned. Madrigal had always been gentle and refined. It was hard for him to imagine that she would get drunk. He snorted, indicating that he had agreed. Hanging up the phone, Nee made an OK gesture to Madrigal who was on the sofa. Madrigal had been afraid that Quarmy would not agree. When she saw that, she couldn''t help but smile. So she grabbed the ss on the table and drank it up. Nee poured her another ss of wine. "One more drink. You''ll be enboldened. I''ll wait for your good news tonight." Madrigal took the ss and drank it again. Nee immediately dressed her up as a drunk beauty. Then she stopped with satisfaction. Quarmy pushed open the door to the room and saw a picture of a drunk beauty lying on the bed. He didn''t think too much about it as he stepped forward to help Madrigal and prepared to leave. However, she couldn''t keep her bnce and hung her soft body on his body. Instinctively, Quarmy wanted to push her away. When he saw Nee standing at the side, he immediately ordered, "Come over here and help me get her out!" Madrigal was extremely disappointed when she heard his words. Originally, she had thought that he would carry her, but he didn''t. Thinking of how she used to see him carry Monica into the car, she felt wronged and angry. After Quarmy and Nee helped Madrigal get on the car together, he directly left her behind and started the car. Madrigal had thought that he would gently fasten the seat belt for her, then she could try her best to seduce him. Quarmy didn''t fall for it. She had no choice but to roll down from the back seat when he started the car. In the rearview mirror, Quarmy saw it and immediately stop the car. He helped her up again and wanted to buckle her seat belt. Madrigal seized the opportunity to hug and kiss him. Quarmy tilted his head to the side, so her lips did notnd on his mouth as she had expected, but on his neck instead. At this point, Madrigal couldn''t care anything else. She held Quarmy in her arms and rubbed her soft chest against his body." I feel so hot!" She shouted. Quarmy was shocked by her sudden unrestrained behavior. He pushed her away with all his strength and jumped out of the car. She watched as him returned to the driver''s seat. The car sped all the way to the hospital. Soon, they arrived at the hospital. Quarmy did not suspect that she was pretending to be drunk. Madrigal had always been ady and she had frightened him just now. He instructed the doctor to examine her. Not only did she take the medicine, but she also had an infusion. In the end, he also made a phone call to inform Yale and Zoe. The way things turned out was the exact opposite of what Madrigal had expected. Nee said that as long as she put down her restraint and actively seduced Quarmy, Quarmy would be turned on and had sex with her. However, the current situation waspletely different. Quarmy was not turned on at all. He avoided her as if she was a ghost. When he pushed her forcefully, unfortunately, her back hit the armrest, and she was in so much pain that she kept breathing. Madrigal was suffering now. It was all because of Nee. It was a fu*king bad idea to pretend to drink and have sex with Quarmy. The nurse just finished her IV, Zoe and Yale rushed over in a hurry. Seeing the smell of alcohol, Zoe''s face was extremely ugly. "How did you educate your daughter?" He turned back and angrily questioned Yale. "Why do you let her make some bad friends?" Zoe was really very angry. Quarmy didn''t like her in the first ce, and now she did such a thing. Her drunk antics even embarrassed himself. Yale didn''t dare to speak. In her heart, she also hated her daughter for being so disappointing. What was wrong with Madrigal? Wasn''t she making Quarmy look down on her? Quarmy didn''t know what they were thinking. Since the mission waspleted, there was no need for him to stay any longer. Thus, he made up an excuse to leave. Watching Quarmy leave, Zoe was even angrier. He harshly rebuked Yale for not educating her daughter well. Unlike Madrigal, Monica hadn''t done anything out of line in the past few years. After that, he left in a fit of anger. There were only Yale and her daughter left in the ward. Madrigal opened her eyes. Yale red at her with hatred. "What are you doing?" "Mom, I didn''t know it would be like this!" Madrigal didn''t hide anything from her mother, so she told her everything about this night. Yale was so angry that she poked her daughter''s head with her hand. "You are really stupid! You will get engaged soon, why are you so anxious?" "Mom, I was worried. He''s been perfunctory to me, especially after Monica is back. I have seen him go to the tube-shaped apartment for Monica. If they start over again, what should I do?" "So you seduced him in such a low-level way?" Yale snorted. "Do you know that you''re not supposed to be the drunken one?" "What?" Madrigal was stunned. "He doesn''t touch you when you''re sober. How could he touch you when you''re drunk? Unless he''s drunk." "He doesn''t drink with me, how could he get drunk?" "Don''t you know how to think?" Yale sneered. "Solutions are more than problems!" "Then I''ll find a way to get him drunk next time." "Forget it, it''s not the point." Yale nced at her daughter. "Now you should calm down first. In half a month, you will be engaged to him. Mom will help you find a way then." Madrigal nodded. "I''ll listen to you." Leon waited for Mandy''s call in the hotel for a long time, but it never came. So he called her, but she had turned off the phone. Why did she turn off the phone at this time? He was anxious so he called the servant who took care of his grandmother. The servant told him not to worry because his grandmother had woken up safely. Leon finally rxed when he heard that. However, a few hourster, Mandy called him. "Leon,e back quickly. The doctor says Grandma is in bad shape!" "Didn''t the servant say that Grandma was fine?" Leon was surprised. "Grandma asked her to lie to you. She didn''t want you to worry." Mandy''s voice was a little choked. "I was going to call you, but Grandma stopped me. I heard her conversation with the servant. She felt sorry for you. She sacrificed your love so that you could take over thepany. She made you depressed for so many years, and she doesn''t want to make you suffer anymore. If you like Monica, you can be with her. She won''t stop you." Leon was stunned with the phone in hand. He didn''t expect that his grandma would say that. Mandy sobbed in a low voice. "Leon, pleasee back for Grandma. I''m afraid you''ll miss her if youe backte!" Thinking of what his grandmother had done to him over the years, Leon''s heart ached. "I''lle back now!" Mandy hung up the phone and said to the olddy on the sofa with her tongue sticking out, "Grandma, Leon said he woulde back tomorrow." Old Mrs. Gu gave a thumbs-up to her granddaughter and said, "Great, your acting is getting better and better!" Mandy walked to her and sat down. "Grandma, what if he finds out I helped you lie to him and gets mad at me?" "Grandma won''t let that happen." Old Mrs. Gu answered. "I know, but I''m still afraid that it will happen." "Impossible." Old Mrs. Gu replied. "Since I''m trying to trick him back, I''ve already made a thorough n." "Grandmother, I lied to Leon for you. You have to take my matter seriously." Mandy felt assured after hearing that. She immediately thought of her own matters. The olddy sighed. Why were her grandchildren so stubborn? In this world, women better than Monica were everywhere, but her grandson just wanted Monica. Her granddaughter clearly knew that Rnd was a yboy, but she couldn''t give up on him. Seeing her sigh, Mandy thought that she was unwilling to help her, so she said anxiously, "Grandma, you can''t be so cruel to me!" "Little girl, have you really made up your mind? Rnd is a phnderer and a cheater. It won''t be good to be with him." Old Mrs Gu reminded. "I know, but he''s the only one I like." Mandy answered. Old Mrs. Gu sighed heavily. "When Leones back, I''ll go talk to the Wang family and get this thing settled as soon as possible." Mandy''s face shone with joy when she heard that. Leon booked a ticket and then called Monica to tell her that his grandma was sick. Although Old Mrs. Gu had separated her and Leon, Monica did not hate her that much because everyone''s position was different. When she heard that she was seriously ill, she was also very worried and persuaded Leon to go back immediately. The next morning, Monica and Coco saw Leon off at the airport. Seeing that Leon was leaving, Coco kept crying. Monica had tofort him. "Uncle Gu wille back in a few days." Coco smiled through tears and said, "Uncle Gu, I''ll wait for you." After sending Leon into the airport lounge, Monica took Coco home. On the way back, Coco asked Monica, "Mom, my father isn''t lost but dead, right?" Monica was stunned. "Who said that?" "Granduncle said that my father had already died. Mom, what you are looking for is not my biological father, but my stepfather. Is that so? Mom?" Monica''s heart started to ache. She knew that her uncle hated Ouarmy, which was why he told Coco that. She didn''t know how to answer. If she denied it, Coco would definitely ask more. She sighed. "Yes... He is dead." Sadness appeared on Coco''s face. "Mom, I don''t want Dad anymore. I only want you, granduncle and Uncle Gu." "Good boy!" Monica held his soft little body tightly. "Mom, what does Dad look like? Is he handsome?" Coco asked again. "Yes!" Monica answered. "Is he as handsome as Uncle Gu?" "Yes!" "I knew that!" Coco pulled himself into her arms and put on a smile. "Mom, can I make a request?" "What''s your request?" "I want Uncle Gu to be my father!" For a moment, Monica did not know how to answer, but Coco was still waiting for her answer. "Mom!" "No!" Monica shook her head. "If you want Dad, I will find one for you. Believe in me, I will!" "But I like Uncle Gu to be my dad!" Monica didn''t say anything. Children only knew who was good for them, but not the troubles of adults. Leon was the star in the sky, and she was just a speck of dust. The distance between them was destined to be the distance between heaven and earth. Coco was very sensible. Seeing the sad look on his mother''s face, he immediately changed the subject. "Mom, I want to eat pizza." "I''ll buy it for you!" Monica happened to see a pizza shop nearby. She got off the car with Coco in her arms. There was a nice song ying in the car and Quarmy sat in the back seat with his eyes closed. He had just received the news that Leon was going back to see the ''''ill1'' Old Mrs. Gu. Without the eyesore, he became really happy. Although he was resting with his eyes closed, his fingers were tapping with music. The driver, Noah, identally saw Monica crossing the road with Coco in her arms. He made a sound of surprise. "Madam... Miss Mo is holding a child?" When Quarmy heard this, he opened his eyes and looked over. He also saw that. Why didn''t Leon leave with that child? Was this child not Leon''s? When he remembered that Monica had participated in a blind date program and said that she was a single mother, he frowned and ordered Noah, "Come to have a look!" Monica ced Coco on his seat and ordered a six-inch pizza ording to Coco''s preference. She ordered two cups of fruit juice and a te of snacks. Coco was very happy and began to eat. Seeing him wolfing down his food, Monica had a smile in her eyes. "Slow down, take a sip of the drink, don''t choke!" "Mom, eat it!" Seeing that Monica didn''t eat, Coco handed the pizza in her hand to Monica''s mouth. "No, thanks! I''ll watch you eat!" "I want Mom to eat with me!" Coco insisted. Monica had to take a bite. Coco took another bite, his face full of smiles. "Delicious, right?" "Yes!" Quarmy entered the pizza shop and sat down near Monica and Coco. He casually ordered a te of snacks and a ten-inch pizza. He was not in the mood to eat, and he kept listening to the conversation between the mother and son. When he heard Coco calling Monica Mom, he was shocked and looked at Noah subconsciously. He found that Noah was also looking at him. Both of their eyes were full of surprise. Chapter 77 Chapter 77 Monica''s voice was so gentle, with a very natural maternal instinct. Quarmy looked at her and Coco''s back nkly, full of mixed emotions. Why did this child call her mother? Was he adopted by her? After Coco was full, Monica led him away. Just two stepster, a figure came out. Monica was startled. Quarmy''s eyes were full of inquiry as he stared fixedly at Coco. "Your child?" "Yes!" Monica replied and strode away with Coco in her arms. When she disappeared, Quarmy still stood rooted to the spot. He had clearly seen that the child looked very simr to her. He had a pair ofrge eyes and long eyshes. They were exactly the same. Quarmy''s heart was pounding with emotions. He had really put in a lot of effort to ask that question. When he heard her "yes", his heart sank. His heart was so empty as if he had lost something. She was actually a mother? Wasn''t she sterile? What was going on? Everyone said that boys looked like their mothers, and the child inherited all of her beauty. Though he had doubted it before, after seeing the child''s appearance, all of his suspicions disappeared. It was indeed her child! She and another man''s child! Quarmy returned to his car in a daze. His wife, who had not been pregnant for five years, had a beautiful son after a divorce. This was undoubtedly sarcasm to him! Monica hurried out of the pizza shop with Coco in her arms. She stopped a taxi and went back home. On the way, her heart was pounding. The child was an ident. She had been desperate after all those pills and still not pregnant. Then she didn''t take any medicine anymore. The day before Madrigal''s visit, she found that she waste. She went to the pharmacy to buy a testing paper with the attitude that she just wanted to have a try. The result turned out to be a red line. She couldn''t believe it at all, so she went to the nearest hospital for an examination and confirmed that she was pregnant. At that time, she was so ecstatic that she immediately called him. Noah answered the phone and said that Quarmy was sleeping. Quarmy was very busy at that time and often had social interactions. He came homete and slept in the guest room for fear of waking her up. She didn''t call him after that but remembered that the next day was their anniversary, so she wanted to surprise him the next day. This was the fifth anniversary after they got married. It had been Quarmy who gave her a surprise before, but this time it was her turn to give him a surprise. She got up early in the morning and cleaned up the room carefully. She also prepared a candlelight dinner for him. Everything was ready. When she heard the doorbell ringing, she thought that Quarmy was back. But she didn''t expect it to be Madrigal. Looking at Madrigal proudly showing off the pregnancy test list to her and seeing the familiar signature of Quarmy, she felt that the world had copsed! She remembered very clearly what happened that day, but she didn''t want to think about it. She didn''t want to think about that pain and that humiliation for the rest of her life! Monica held Coco tightly! Quarmy''s appearance scared her so much! How could he appear at any time like a ghost recently? She was certain that Quarmy had just seen clearly Coco''s face. Would he suspect that Coco was his son? She looked at Coco carefully. Because he was so young, he looked more like her than Quarmy. Monica felt slightly at ease. Everyone knew that she was sterile, so he wouldn''t suspect anything! Even if he would not suspect, she still had to think of countermeasures. Only in this way could she ensure that he would not know the truth for the rest of his life. Monica hurried home with Coco in her arms. On the first floor of the new home, she saw a fancy car parking there at first sight. After being wooed that day, Monica took leave and didn''t go to work. Rnd was also ashamed to see her. Monica was the first woman who dared to refuse him, and the first woman who made him sad. He loved her and hated her so much that in the end, he loved her more than he hated her. He was a man and she was a little woman. He should be a bigger person without arguing with her. He finally found a good reason for himself to see her. Rnd had been waiting downstairs for hours without seeing Monica. He became impatient. When he was about to leave, he saw a taxiing in. Monica got out of the car with Coco in her arms. He pulled open the car door and looked impatient. "Where have you been?" "We went to see Uncle Gu off!" Coco answered in his baby voice. "Leon is really bad. He left without telling me because he wanted you to see him off?" Rnd deliberately said this. He knew that Leon must have gone back because of Old Mrs. Gu. He deliberately said this to find a topic, but he still felt embarrassed when he saw Monica. "Uncle Gu is not bad!" Coco''s face darkened. Uncle Wang was really impolite! "He''s not bad. You''re!" Rnd reached out to pinch Coco''s face and clicked his tongue. "This little guy turned out to be your son. I thought he was Leon''s illegitimate child! At that time, I thought Leon was blessed!" "Uncle, what is an illegitimate child?" Coco asked in a childish tone. "An illegitimate child is..." "Rnd!" Monica interrupted him angrily. Looking at her angry face, Rnd smiled awkwardly. "Monica, is he your ex-husband''s child, or your illegitimate child?" "None of your business!" Monica ignored him and walked home with Coco in her arms, followed by Rnd. She suddenly closed the door, but luckily he was quick enough to hold it. "I''m a guest. Is this how you treat guests?" Coco stuck out his tongue at Rnd and said, "You''ve made my mother angry! The consequences will be very serious!" "Bullshit! I''m your mom''s boss. She sees me as a rat sees a cat!" "You''re rude and you swear!" "This is called personality. Understand? Kid, you should learn from me. Don''t be like that sissy Leon!" "Uncle Gu is not a sissy!" Coco retorted. "I have the final say!" Rnd actually quarreled with a child. Monica shook her head. She really couldn''t get angry with such a person. "What are you doing here?" "Aren''t you embarrassed to ask this?" Rnd turned to look at Monica. "How long have you been skipping work? Don''t you know?" "I asked for leave, didn''t I? And you agreed." Monica retorted. "I''m not happy now. Hurry up and go to work!" "Now?" Monica looked at him in confusion. What was wrong with him? "I''m going to an entrepreneur party tonight. I don''t have any femalepanion,e with me!" He ordered. Then Quarmy was sure to be there. Monica shook her head and said, "I''m not going." "This is your job! If you don''t go, your bonus will be deducted!" Rnd threatened. "Are you going to give me a raise if I go with you?" Monica asked. "Is money that important to you?" "I won''t go without a bonus. I''m just an assistant, not your femalepanion!" "Well, I''ll give you a bonus. Come with me now!" Monica did not expect Rnd to be so frank. She did not want to go with him at all. "I don''t have any suitable clothes!" She said. However, this was not an excuse for Rnd. "I''ve bought it for a long time ago!" Monica stared at him, but Rnd could not feel her displeasure at all. "Don''t worry about the size. I''m good at this. I can see your cup size with just one nce!" "What''s a cup size?" Coco asked again. Monica was really worried that Rnd would corrupt Coco. "I''ll go with you. Let''s go!" A sinister smile appeared on Rnd''s face. He used to have no way to deal with her, but now that she had a weakness, he had plenty of ways to deal with her! As Monica had expected, she saw Quarmy at the party. Madrigal was standing beside him, which made her want to retreat. However, Rnd didn''t give her the chance. He held her hand and walked over. Quarmy was surrounded by a group of people like stars surrounding the moon. When he heard that Mr. Wang was It was not that he had never known how beautiful Monica was, but in the past three years, it was the first time that he had seen her in an evening dress, and he was greatly amazed by that. She had a beautiful face, a slender neck, and snow-white skin. Her waist was so thin that it could not be held hard. Seeing that Rnd was holding her hand and walking towards him, he forgot that there was someone else talking to him. When Madrigal saw that he had been looking at Monica, she felt jealous. In order to swear ownership, she hung half of her body on him without hesitation. Monica was the only one in Quarmy''s eyes, so he didn''t notice her actions. Seeing the two of them together, Monica sneered in her heart. Originally, she wanted to retreat, but now she changed her mind. Rnd and Quarmy greeted each other in a friendly way. They were indeed people in the business world, nobody could tell that they had once fought with each other. Looking at their polite greetings and the fake smiles on their faces, Monica felt ufortable. Madrigal had always ignored Monica in public, and she would only call her sister when no one was around. So when she saw Monica and Rnding, she just nodded politely, but Monica was indifferent and ignored her. The people who attended the party tonight were all famous. As a beautiful small assistant, Monica naturally became a target for others to exclude. "Isn''t this the divorced woman from the TV stationst time?" A rich Madam remembered Monica''s blind date. "Yes, yes! At that time, Mr. Wang participated in the blind date program for her." "Yes, she refused him at that time. I remember it very clearly." "Since she refused, why would she be with Mr. Wang now? I seem to remember that she left with an ordinary man." "Now many people havee up with all kinds of ways to get famous. She must have refused Mr. Wang on purpose to get popr!" "Public morals are getting worse day by day. People nowadays dare to do anything in order to be famous! Look at her. It''s obvious that she''s from a humble family. She has no manners at all!" "That''s right! Why did Mr. Wang take her here? Isn''t he ashamed?" Women loved to gossip. The women here were jealous of Monica''s beauty, so they could say anything. Monica turned a blind eye to these malicious words. Compared to the terrible things she''d experienced before, verbal attacks were nothing. Rnd also heard those unpleasant words. He stopped talking with a boss and turned his eyes to the two women who were in a heated discussion. "Hello, Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Liu." The two women didn''t expect that Rnd would take the initiative to greet them, so they both smiled politely, "Hello, Mr. Wang!" "Last week, I saw Mr. Tian bringing a twenty-year-old girl to dinner. That''s your daughter, isn''t it?" Rnd said with a smile. Mrs. Tian''s expression changed. Daughter?! She must be his mistress. She wanted to lose her temper, but she couldn''t find a reason to do so, so she could only remain silent. Rnd, however, ignored her embarrassment and said, "Your daughter is so pretty!" Rnd was famous for protecting his men. No matter how silly the two old women were, they knew that he was defending Monica. Mrs. Liu wanted to leave, but how could Rnd let her get away? "Congrattions on Mrs. Liu for your new son! When''s his 100-day banquet? Please don''t forget to invite me!" Mrs. Liu''s face instantly turned red. Damn it. That was the son of a shameless mistress! She even wanted to kill him! Mr. Tian and Mr. Liu also noticed that something was wrong. Rnd had always been a man who wouldn''t attack unless being attacked. He talked about their scandals in such a situation that must have been because they offended him. Both of them felt embarrassed. At the same time, they stared at their wives. Rnd did not say anything more. He held Monica''s hand and walked in another direction. When they left, he smiled at Mr. Tian and Mr. Liu. When they saw his fake smile, they felt really nervous. They had wanted to get closer to Rnd, but now it seemed that their efforts were in vain! Furthermore, they might have offended him. Quarmy saw the whole story. He used to believe that Rnd was not sincere to Monica, but now he was not sure. Rnd would never protect the woman he didn''t like. But since he really liked Monica, why would he ask her to lure Zoe? Could it be that he had guessed all of this wrongly? When he saw how harmonious they were, his heart was in pain! Madrigal also felt ufortable. Originally, she was waiting tough at Monica, but she did not expect that Rnd would stand up for Monica without hesitation. Why did everyone care about Monica? In the past, it was Leon and Quarmy, and now it was Rnd! She was so lucky! Monica and Rnd looked around and found an excuse to go outside. There was a small garden outside the hall of the party. Monica walked out of the hall and went straight to the garden. She hadn''t worn high heels for a long time, and the bottom of her feet was burning with pain. Seeing that there was no one around, she sat down on the flower bed, took off her high heels, and put her feet on the ground to relieve the pain. Quarmy had been observing Monica all this while. Seeing her leaving the hall, he also found an excuse to go out. As soon as Monica saved her feet from pain, she heard a low voice behind her. "If Rnd sees you like this, he''ll definitely feel disgusted!" Monica sneered without turning around. "What does it have to do with you?" Quarmy was provoked by the coldness in her tone. He approached her and asked, "Who is that man?" "What man?" Monica was puzzled. "You don''t understand?" Quarmy''s eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes filled with danger. "I say, who is the child''s father? Don''t tell me you have no idea who he is." Monica''s heart skipped a beat as she stood up. Quarmy''s words startled her. It was only when she heard the rest of his words that she finally reacted and began to put on her shoes. "Mr. Huo, you have so much time that you start to concern about other people''s personal matters, right?" Quarmy was very dissatisfied with her answer. He reached out to hold her chin and forced her to look at him. "Is it appropriate for you to leave your child''s husband and flirt with another man like this?" "I''m innocent, so I''m not afraid of being judged. But what right do you have to ask this?" Monica sneered. Quarmy was almost driven crazy by the mockery in her eyes. He held her chin so hard that she couldn''t help but cry out in pain. He still didn''t let her go. "Monica, why are you so cruel? What on earth is your heart made of?" "Mr. Huo, I don''t need you to care about my heart. We''re already strangers. It''s better for you to avoid me in the future. What do you think, Mr. Huo?" The darkness in Quarmy''s eyes was deepening, which meant he was furious. Just when she felt a little relieved to see that, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her shoulder. In the blink of an eye, his N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. warm lips covered hers. The smell was familiar and strange. Monica''s mind was confused for a moment, but she reacted immediately. Did he still think she was the fool who could be easily deceived by him? She tried to push him away, but he was holding her tightly and there was a disparity in strength between them. In her desperation, she came up with an idea. She stomped hard on his feet with her high heels. Quarmy was lost in her sweetness, so he didn''t expect that she would suddenly attack him. The intense pain made him let her go at once. Monica wiped her mouth in disgust. "Damn! You''re f*cking disgusting! How can you kiss me with your dirty mouth that has kissed countless women!" Quarmy narrowed his eyes. "Monica, why are you pretending to be a chaste and virtuousdy? Rnd had countless girlfriends. Didn''t you kiss him as well?" "Mr. Huo, you''re thinking too highly of yourself, aren''t you? To tell you the truth, in my heart, you''re nothingpared to Rnd!" With that said she left withrge strides. Quarmy looked at her back in a daze. He felt really desperate. In the past, no matter what happened, he had never had this feeling before. But at this moment, he felt so desperate that he even wanted to die. He lit a cigarette, trying to relieve himself. However, it didn''t work. Instead, he felt even more vexed. He felt really frustrated. During the three years, he had never forgotten her. He had always dreamed that they would be reunited, yet she had already drifted further and further away from him. In the three years that she had disappeared, he had thought that there would be such a day, but he had always been unwilling to believe it. He always thought that he would have a chance, but when he heard the lovely little fellow call her mother with his own ears, and saw her love for the little fellow with his own eyes, his heart feels as if it had been poked by something. Heh! Ridiculous! He was anxiously waiting for her toe back, but she had already be a mother. Who was the man? He had been thinking about this question. Leon? He remembered the scene that Leon appeared in the tube- shaped apartment with the child in his arms. When she disappeared years ago, he had thought that she would be with Leon. However, this thought hadn''t been confirmed. It must be that the Gu Family did not agree, and looked down upon Monica''s family background. Deep down, he was secretly happy, because as long as the Gu Family did not agree, she would never be able to marry Leon. But now that he saw the child, he did not dare to think this way. Back then, she left without hesitation for Leon. It was possible for her to have a child for the man she loved. But wasn''t she supposed to be infertile? Since she hadn''t been pregnant for five years, how could she have a child with Leon? Or could it be that she was fertile, but she didn''t want to have a child for him? Many ideas and thoughts were entangled in Quarmy''s mind. He felt like he was about to go crazy. He had been struggling for the whole afternoon. He gritted his teeth and hated her with heart- wrenching pain. He didn''t want to work at all. Originally, he didn''t want to attend this party at all, but he couldn''t refuse. He wanted to leave after showing up for a while. He didn''t expect to see her again. She was so shining that he was attracted to her easily. Looking at Rnd''s care for her, he felt jealous for no reason. Seeing that she went to the garden alone, he followed her. He had a lot of questions to ask her, but what he wanted to know the most was who the man was. But she refused to answer him! This increased his guess. Was that man really Leon? If so, why would she flirt with Rnd? He did not forget that he saw her and Rnd kiss in the car that night. Rnd and Leon were friends. How could Rnd flirt with Leon''s woman? If it was not Leon, who would that man be? Who on earth was worthy of letting her gave birth to and raise a child? There was a fire burning in his heart. Thinking of the fact that she had sex and gave birth to a child with another man, he felt more and more upset. Since she had a child, what else could it be impossible? But why was he so upset? He should not have been so upset, should he? The cigarette flickered between his fingers, reflecting his gloomy face. His heart was like a mess. Monica didn''t return to the hall. Instead, she went to the bathroom to retouch her makeup. Quarmy had kissed her just now, and her current state would make Rnd suspicious. Monica stood in front of the mirror of the bathroom to retouch her makeup. She heard the sound of hurried high heels. Then the door of the bathroom was pushed open, and a fragrant smell drifted in. Without looking back, Monica knew who it was. A cold smile appeared on her lips. Madrigal really cared about Quarmy! But so what? A dog couldn''t change its behavior. Since Quarmy was able to cheat on her when they were together, he could cheat on Madrigal again. No wonder Madrigal was so nervous. Just now, Madrigal was talking with a few familiar madams. After that, she didn''t see Quarmy. She immediately looked for Monica and found that only Rnd was in the hall, so she guessed that Quarmy must have gone to meet Monica. She got angry and immediately went out to look for them. The several restrooms were all pushed open but she found nothing unusual. Finally, she came to the bathroom. Seeing Monica applying lipstick to her lips, Madrigal''s pupils contracted. They had kissed just now! Hatred instantly upied her chest. Monica put away the lipstick and sneered at Madrigal. Then she turned and walked out. "Wait a minute!" Madrigal stopped her. "What''s up, Miss Jane?" Monica sneered. "Sister, I''m sorry about the things that happened in the past. I''m sorry. Please forgive me!" "Forgive you? Do you think I will forgive a mistress who has ruined my family?" "I know you hate me... It was Aunt Sun who came to beg me. She was too pitiful, so..." Madrigal bit her lip and said words intermittently. She inherited Yale''s viciousness, and she knew how to infuriate others. "I didn''t want to do that. I just wanted to help you to get a child. Quarmy and Aunt Sun wanted a child so much, so I agreed. It was my fault that I didn''t think it through. Please forgive me for the loss of my child. We are sisters after all." She kept apologizing, but every word implied that Quarmy had an affair with her and that Monica was sterile. If this had happened in the past, Monica would have been furious. But now, she felt just disgusted. She smiled sarcastically, "You''re indeed Yale''s daughter. So the mistress''s genes can be inherited? It''s really eye-opening." She was saying that Yale used to be Zoe''s mistress. Madrigal said with anger, "My mom and Dad are really in love with each other." "Is that so?" Monica sneered. "So you and Quarmy are also in love? Madrigal, don''t lie to yourself. In fact, you know yourself very well. You are as shameless as your mom. No! I should say that you inherited your mother''s penchant for seducing married men. You two are the most shameless people in the world!" "You can insult me, but you can''t insult my mother. She is still your elder!" Madrigal argued with her. "Monica, I want you to apologize!" "Apologize?" Monica seemed to hear some funny words. "You don''t deserve it." She didn''t want to argue with Madrigal anymore. She opened the door to leave, but Madrigal reached out to pull her. Monica felt so disgusted that she gave her a p. Madrigal did not hide and bore the p. Several clear prints immediately appeared on her white and tender face. A woman came to the bathroom and saw the scene of Monica beating Madrigal clearly. Madrigal was the daughter of the mayor, Quarmy''s girlfriend, while Monica was just an unknown nobody. Did Monica want to die so badly? The woman immediately screamed. Seeing someone appeared, Madrigal began to cover her face and cry. Someone immediately reported this scene to the hall. Quarmy heard the noise in the garden. He threw down the cigarette butt and turned around. In the corridor, he saw a group of people gathering there, and at a nce, he saw Monica, who was surrounded in the middle. His heart tightened and he strode over. When Madrigal saw Quarmy appear, she threw herself into his arms pitifully as if he was her savior. She cried so hard that her heart felt like it was tearing apart. Quarmy supported her body. "What happened?" Madrigal just cried and did not answer. The woman who witnessed Monica beating Madrigal said, "I don''t know what happened either. When I came to the bathroom, I heard thisdy scolding Miss Jane and beating her." "That''s too much. How can you do this?" The people who knew Madrigal immediately began to support her. "Yes, how can you be so uneducated? What kind of an asion is this? How can you hit people casually?" A sneer appeared on the corner of Monica''s mouth as she saw this scene. It turned out that Madrigal did it on purpose. She deliberately angered her and let her hit her so that everyone would scold her for being uneducated. It was indeed a good n. There was no shortage of weathercocks in this world. People immediately stood up for Madrigal. "Miss, you must apologize to Miss Jane!" "Apologize?" Monica sneered. "Why don''t you ask me why I hit her?" "No matter what, it''s wrong." "Mind your own business." Monica retorted. Her arrogance made everyone more and more dissatisfied. "How can you do this? Apologize! Hurry up!" Monica turned a blind eye to everyone''s disdain and looked at Quarmy and Madrigal. "Miss Jane, are you sure you want me to apologize?" Madrigal just cried and said nothing. She and Yale knew Monica very well. They knew that she was extremely self-esteem. She would rather endure all the humiliation and pain than show their pain naked in front of others. Therefore, when Monica found out that Madrigal was pregnant with Quarmy''s child, she left the house without asking anything. She endured Quramy''s cheating and her pain. Yale said that Monica was like her mother who put her pride before life. Such a person would never reveal the truth of the past, so Madrigal deliberately provoked her. Madrigal had two purposes. On the one hand, she deliberately threw herself into Quarmy''s arms to provoke Monica. On the other hand, she wanted everyone to attack Monica together and cause Rnd to have a bad effect on Monica. At this moment, she was halfway there. She just needed to wait for Rnd''s arrival. Madrigal cried while looking for Rnd in the crowd. It was strange, where did this guy go? Quarmy''s heart sank. He always knew Monica''s character. Although she was strong, she was not unreasonable. She must have her reasons to hit Madrigal. "I want to know the reason." If it had been in the past, Monica would have been really angry and swear at Madrigal. In this way, people who did not know the truth would attack her together. But she was no longer the Monica of the past. She was not a fool, and she could see through Madrigal''s n. Since she knew that, how could she let her seed? She didn''t curse at Madrigal. Naturally, she wouldn''t choose to remain silent. Instead, she looked at Quarmy with a smile. "Are you sure you want to know the reason?" Quarmy nodded. "Yes." "Me too." Rnd suddenly came out and stood next to Monica. He reached out to hold her hand. "With me around, don''t worry!" He held her shoulder as if he was protecting his son. "Then fine. I''ll talk about why I hit Miss Jane and let everyone judge." Madrigal didn''t expect that Rnd would choose to protect Monica in public, nor did she expect Monica to say that. She was crying in Quarmy''s arms, but when she heard Monica''s words, her body froze. Monica wouldn''t tell others about her surrogacy, would she? If everyone knew her surrogacy and that Monica was once Mrs. Huo, she would definitely lose face. Even if she married Quarmy, she wouldn''t be able to have a foothold in the upper ss. Monica cleared her throat. "The incident was caused by our discussion. We were talking about mistresses, the hottest topic now..." "Quarmy, I''m a little dizzy." Madrigal didn''t expect Monica to be so different from before. Seeing that, she immediately pretended to faint. Quarmy didn''t expect Monica to bring up this topic either. The truth of the incident back then wasn''t what Monica thought. Madrigal wasn''t a mistress. If Monica were to tell others Madrigal''s surrogacy, what should Madrigal do? He immediately supported Madrigal. "I''ll take you to the hospital!" Quarmy helped Madrigal to leave. Without them, others were not in the mood to watch the show. Everyone left. Rnd held Monica''s waist to leave. When he got to the outside car, heughed and said, "Monica, do you have a violent tendency?" "Mr. Wang, what do you mean?" "You not only hit me but also hit your sister. Your sister is really good at acting. At first, she was very aggressive, but when you were going to tell others that her mother was a mistress, she immediately fainted. Quarmy also cooperated with her wlessly. They are really a couple." Rnd sighed and suddenly remembered something. "Does he know that Madrigal''s mom is a mistress?" "He doesn''t!" "Right. With Jenny''s personality, if she knew that Madrigal was the daughter of a mistress, she would never let her son be with her no matter what." "Why do you say that?" Monica was curious. Jenny had a very high evaluation of Madrigal. "Jenny used to suffer because of it," said Rnd. "Quarmy''s father cheated on her?" "No, it''s Jenny''s father who cheated on her mother. She suffered a lot. Fortunately, Quarmy''s father loved her very much, but it didn''tst long. He passed away young and Jenny put all her attention on her son. Quarmy is everything to her. You can imagine that. Anyway, after Madrigal marries Quarmy, she will suffer." Monica did not speak. She knew how terrible Jenny was a long time ago. Suddenly, she began to expect Jenny''s reaction when she found that her beloved daughter- in-w was a mistress'' daughter. That would be fun. Quarmy helped Madrigal onto the carriage. Madrigal''s eyes were filled with tears. "Quarmy, I''m fine. I was pretending to faint just now. I don''t want to lose face in that kind of situation." Quarmy naturally knew that. In that kind of situation, pretending to be unconscious was her only option. Otherwise, Monica would have revealed everything that had happened back then. "I just wanted to apologize to her and tell her the truth, but she didn''t listen to my exnation. She scolded me and beat me excitedly. Quarmy, I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to get you in trouble." Madrigal said and sobbed in a low voice. "I know." Thinking of what Madrigal had suffered, Quarmy felt a surge of guilt. "Madrigal, I''m sorry!" Madrigal''s heart was originally filled with apprehension because she was afraid that he wouldn''t believe her. When she heard his apology, she heaved a sigh of relief. In the future, she couldn''t afford to provoke Monica anymore. After sending Madrigal home, Quarmy turned the car around and left. Madrigal watched him leave and turned into her home. Yale was waiting for her in the living room. When she saw the clear fingerprints on her face, she was shocked. "What''s going on?" Zoe also came out of the study. Naturally, he also saw the fingerprints and tears on Madrigal''s face. He was also very surprised. "What happened?" "Sister hit me!" Madrigal burst into tears and said. She said that Monica scolded her and her mother for being mistresses. Anyway, it was Monica''s fault. Yale understood what she meant immediately. She reached out her hand to wipe Madrigal''s tears, and she also burst into tears. "It''s all my fault. It''s my fault. My poor child! You''ve been wronged!" Zoe sighed. He knew clearly about Monica''s bad temper. Looking at them crying like tears, he sighed. "How can Moni do this? No matter what, Madrigal is still her sister. It''s too absurd!" It was the first time that Yale had heard Zoe''sint to Monica. She was happy and decided to work harder so that Monica would lose Zoe''s favor. She wiped her tears and continued to cry. "It was my fault. I shouldn''t havee to you. If I hadn''te to you, it wouldn''t have been like this. Moni wouldn''t have left you. My Madrigal... She wouldn''t have been humiliated like this!" Yale cried and said, "This is my retribution, but why should God me it on my daughter? Zoe, Madrigal is not a mistress. You know what happened in the past. We did it for Moni!" Zoe sighed. "I know that you have been wronged. I will find Moni to tell her about this matter. Madrigal is not a mistress, and she should stop hating Madrigal!" As soon as Zoe said this, Yale and Madrigal stopped crying. If Zoe told Monica the truth, how could they continue to act? Back then, Monica had thought that Quarmy had cheated and divorced. If she were to find out that Madrigal and Quarmy had nothing to do with each other, she would definitely forgive Quarmy. In that case, wouldn''t their n be in vain? "Zoe, don''t look for Moni. She won''t believe you." Yale stopped him in a hurry. "Why?" "Madrigal''s surrogacy was to prevent Moni and Quarmy''s marriage from being disturbed by Jenny, but the result was not what we thought. Jenny forced Quarmy to divorce Moni with her life, and Moni hated Madrigal so much. Now that Quarmy and Madrigal are about to get engaged, if youe to her at this time, she will think that you made up this lie deliberately for us. She will hate you more, and I don''t want you and Moni to go back to the previous situation." "Yes, Dad, Mom is right. Sister''s hatred for us has been deeply rooted. Even if you exin it to her at this time, she will not believe you." Madrigal immediately agreed. "But won''t you be misunderstood all the time?" "Anyway, Madrigal has been misunderstood. We have to think of Moni. She has changed her attitude towards you now. You must not defend us at this time, which will only push her further." Yale persuaded. Zoe sighed and was in a dilemma. Indeed, Yale was right. If he exined it to Moni at this time, she must think that he was finding an excuse for Yale and her daughter. She hated him for taking them into the family. If she misunderstood him again because of this matter, she would never forgive him. Seeing that Zoe did not insist, Yale and Madrigal breathed a sigh of relief. Yale helped Madrigal into the bedroom. After closing the door, Yale said with viciousness, "Don''t provoke that b*tch in the future, at least not before you and Quarmy get married." Madrigal nodded. Thinking of Quarmy and Monica''s kiss tonight, she felt ufortable. "Mom, Quarmy still loves her. I''m afraid that we can''t get married." "So you have to keep yourposure. I can wait so many years for you dad, can''t you even wait a few days for Quarmy?" Yale reprimanded. "Remember, don''t provoke that b*tch now. Try your best to please Jenny. As long as she''s satisfied with you, she''ll force Quarmy to marry you." Quarmy drove to the tube- shaped apartment. Because of the demolition, the alley entrance was not as lively as before. Quarmy opened the door and walked into the alley. Soon, he arrived at the familiar building. He looked up at the familiar window, only to find that it was dark inside. He was stunned. Monica hadn''t returned yet? Then what about Xanjer? The number of times he hade here in the past three years was so countless. Xanjer''s life was very regr. He would definitely return home before 8 p.m. This day was an exception. He looked at his watch. It was already ten o''clock in the evening, and the apartment was still dark. Had something happened? Quarmy waited for a while longer downstairs, but he still didn''t see anyonee back. A woman living in the tube- shaped apartment came back. She had seen him much time. Every time he would stand next to a big tree downstairs and look up at that window in a dace. If it weren''t for the fact that he was dressed splendidly, she would have suspected that he was insane. Wasn''t it just a window? Why did he keep looking at it? Quarmy pointed at the window of Monica''s apartment and asked, "Madam, do you know where this family is?" The woman looked at Quarmy in confusion. "Are you a friend or a rtive of this family?" "Well, I''m a distant rtive of them." He replied. "A distant rtive?" The woman showed a doubtful look. After hesitating for a while, she said, "They have moved out." "Moved out? When?" "It has been a few days. This ce is going to be demolished. Everyone is ready to move out." "Do you know where they are going?" "I think he moved in with their inws." The woman replied. "Their inws?" Quarmy was stunned. Was Monica married? This truly shocked him. "You''re a rtive of this family. Don''t you know that girl is married?" The woman looked at Quarmy in confusion. "I..." He didn''t know how to reply. The woman ignored him and turned around to go upstairs, but he stood rooted to the ground in a daze. The price of the demolition of her apartment was quite low. Given her temper, she would have made a scene if she encountered such an unfair thing. However, the current situation was beyond his imagination. Monica moved out directly. Last time, he did something unfair to Summer. He thought that she would continue to cause trouble, but she suddenly disappeared. He spent the following ten days like a year, so he had to let Summer return to her position. She appeared as soon as he gave the order. It seemed that she could see through him. This time, he was even more surprised. In the face of such a low price of demolition, she moved out without any doubts. She remembered the hostility she had toward his mother in the restaurant that day. It was said that people who loved each other would be willing to give in for each other. Monica had never put up with his mother. Since she married him, she had been arguing with his mother. It was no wonder that Jenny did not like her. This also proved that Monica had never loved him. Because she didn''t care about him, so she agreed to divorce him without attachments at all. Even facing such harsh conditions, she still didn''t hesitate. He was still in the past, but she had long been ready to move on. Quarmy suddenly felt that it was really ironic. Chapter 78 Chapter 78 Quarmy didn''t return home until dawn. By the time he returned home, Jenny had already woken up. She knew that he hadn''t returned for an entire night. If it had been in the past, she would have called him. Butst night, Quarmy and Madrigal went out to a party. If he didn''te back, he must be with Madrigal. It was the greatest thing for Jenny. Of course, she would not disturb him. However, when Jenny saw her sone back so early, she changed her mind. She knew very well that her son was not with Madrigal at all. She looked at his dark circles and felt a little distressed. "Did you stay up at thepany again?" Quarmy responded with a hum. Jenny ordered the servant to prepare breakfast while Quarmy began to wash up. After washing up, breakfast was in the dining hall. Quarmy sat down to eat. Jenny had been observing him. Why did she felt that her son seemed to have lost a lot of weight? "Quarmy, don''t work too hard. Pay attention to your body." Quarmy answered her with hum again. Jenny sighed. "Although we lost a city construction project, Zoe willpensate us with the sports meeting project." "Did Zoe tell you that?" Quarmy asked. "It''s Yale. Zoe must have said it to her.1'' Jenny was in a good mood. "The sports meeting project is also great. I think it''s not worse than that one..." Quarmy looked at his mother mockingly. "Don''t you think it''s too early to say that?" Jenny naturally knew what he meant. She was silent for a moment. "Quarmy, I''ve thought about it. The engagement ceremony should be announced to the public. ording to Zoe''s instructions, we can hold it at his house!" "Whatever. Don''t ask me!" Quarmy wiped his mouth and stood up. "I''m going to work!" "Aren''t you going to rest at home?" Jenny asked in surprise. "No, I still have things to do in thepany!" Seeing her son striding away, Jenny stamped her feet. He couldn''t bear working so hard like this! Quarmy entered thepany and ordered Noah, "Find out where Monica is now. Quickly." Noah soon found out where Monica lived. Quarmy looked at the address and kept silent for a while. Then he grabbed his coat and drove to Monica''s new home. He knew that Monica was not there at this time, but he still wanted to do it. Monica''s new home was in the south of the city. The facilities of thismunity were very good. There was a kindergarten here. This was also the reason why she chose to buy a house here. Quarmy parked his car outside themunity and walked into it. Monica lived in block 3, so he went straight to block 3. In the distance, he saw Xanjer sitting downstairs and basking in the sun. Not far away from him, a little boy was ying with a rubber ball. Quarmy subconsciously stopped in his tracks. That was Monica''s child. That child was so cute that he liked him the moment he saw him. How wonderful would it be if he was his child! After ying with the ball for a while, Coco felt bored and ran to Xanjer. "Great-uncle, I want to find mom." "Mom is at work and wille back at night. Be good, Coco." "So boring." Coco sighed like an adult. "Great-uncle, when can I go to kindergarten?" "Mom is working on it, don''t worry," Xanjer replied. Then, Xanjer noticed Quarmy. His face darkened and he left with Coco in his arms. Quarmy didn''t move but stood there firmly. He had heard the conversation between Xanjer and Coco clearly just now. Coco wanted to go to kindergarten. Generally, kids could go to kindergarten at three years old. That was to say, Coco was now more than three years old. He and Monica had divorced for about three years. How could Monica have a three-year-old child? Was Coco his own child? This idea made him excited. He had to find Monica immediately and get to the bottom of the matter! Monica came home from work and was stopped by Quarmy downstairs. He said bluntly, "Monica, tell me honestly, who exactly is the child''s father?" What had toe finally came. Last night, Quarmy had asked her the same question at the banquet. Monica knew that he would not let it go. Luckily, she had alreadye up with a n. She looked at him calmly, "Mr. Huo, you''re funny. Of course, my child''s father is my husband." "Your husband? Me?" "Huo, are you an idiot? Don''t tell me you don''t know the rtionship between husband and ex- husband." "Impossible! How is that possible?" Quarmy didn''t believe it at all. "How can you be married?" "Mr. Huo, you think too highly of yourself. Can''t I marry another man?" Monica sneered. "Monica, don''t try to lie to me. You can''t be married." "Why? Why do you say that, Mr. Huo?" "If you get married, I''ll know it in the first ce." He had kept an eye on the Civil Affairs Bureau''s system. If Monica wanted to get married, she had to register. However, she didn''t. "We''ve only divorced for three years. How can you have a three-year-old child? Is the child mine?" "Yours? Do you deserve it?" Monica sneered. "Don''t you know that we have divorced for three years and nine months?" "Don''t change the subject. Now that the technologies are so developed, I''ll find out whether it''s mine or not." Ever since she left, he had spent every day like a year. How could he not remember how long they had divorced? Ouarmy lost his patience. "Monica, you can keep silent, but I''ll check it out ande to you." "Ouarmy, why do you have to force me?" Monica evilly said, "You don''t have to check it out. I''ll tell you the truth." Quarmy stared nervously at her. "What is the truth?" "It''s true that I''m not married, because when I was about to get married, my child''s father died identally." From the day Coco returned, she knew that Quarmy would ask her about his identity. However, she was not afraid. She would let him believe her. When she left Quarmy, she couldn''t find a job anywhere, so she went to her mother''s grave and cried. Her mother was buried on the mountain in the suburb of Jiang City. She didn''t expect to encounter heavy rain. On the way down the mountain, she slipped and fell. When she fell, she tried her best to protect her baby, but she identally broke her leg. Coincidentally, she was rescued by a kind-hearted person who passed by at that time. The kind- hearted person John was the manager of a financialpany. He was also Monica''s alumni. In fact, John had a crush on Monica when he was in high school. Monica was so beautiful that he felt inferior and dared not tell her how he felt. He put this feeling in the bottom of his heart. Later, John went to college in another city. After graduation, he married a girl from the same ss and had a lovely son. However, his wife died in a car ident two years ago. Monica had been lying in the hospital in the suburbs for three whole months. It was no wonder that Quarmy could not find any news about her. And John had been after Monica during this period. Monica was disheartened, so it was impossible for her to ept him. She told John her own experience and said that she was pregnant, in order to let him give up on her. John did not care. He promised that he would be nice to her and treated her child as his. How could Monica believe his promise? She was ready to leave after recovering, but she had always been a person who did not like to owe others. What should she pay him back for all the medical bills? John''s parents had a supermarket in the countryside. He proposed to let her work in the supermarket. Monica was worried about not being able to find a job, so she agreed. Since Monica went to work in his supermarket, John had run back and forth between thepany and the countryside. Monica''s belly grew bigger day after day. John''s parents were very kind to her. Seeing she was pregnant, they persuaded her to marry John. Monica was a little moved by the kindness of John''s family. She decided to think about it for the sake of the child, but she had not expected that something would happen to John. In order to save several children who fell into the water, he died. His death made his parents extremely sad. They could not stand such a big blow and fell ill. Monica had been taking care of them. She did not leave until they recovered. Although Monica and John did not get married, she had been living in the Ding family, and everyone thought that her child was John''s. After John''s death, she gave birth to this child in the Ding family. John''s parents were very kind. In order not to let Coco be an illegitimate child, they also put Coco''s registered residence in the Ding family. Quarmy stared at Monica for a long time. "Monica, you''d better not lie to me!" "Why should I lie to you?" Monica sneered. "If you don''t believe me, you can check it out." "I will!" He looked at her with aplicated expression and turned around to leave. Monica didn''t turn around until she couldn''t see his figure. She felt sweat on her body. Although she didn''t show it on her face, she was extremely nervous in her heart. It was unfair to John, but she had no other way. Quarmy had alreadye to her to ask for an exnation. She could only use John. At that time, she was really thinking about marrying John. The neighbors all treated her as John''s fiancee. Everyone thought Coco was John''s son. Quarmy would let someone investigate it and he would definitely be told that. He had to believe it. Quarmy immediately asked Noah to investigate everything Monica said. He got the result that Monica and John were about to get married at that time, but John identally died. Hearing that Coco''s household register had been moved out from the Ding family, Quarmy''s heart was filled with mixed emotions. He had never imagined that he would force Monica to marry someone else. He wanted to give her endless love and hold her hands forever. But why did things be like this? He loved her. From the first time he saw her, he fell in love with her desperately. In order to be with her, he did a lot. He knew that her family background was not good, but so what? He just wanted her. He appeared in her life after she and Leon broke up. In order to be with her, he did everything he could. Finally, she saw his existence. In order to stay with her, he tried his best to persuade his mother. The wedding days were sweet at first, but then everything changed. Their divorce had something to do with children. He was the only son in the Huo family, and his mother desperately needed to have a grandchild. At first, he put the me on himself. Later, they were forced by his mother to go to the hospital for an examination. The results of the examination surprised both Monica and him. There was nothing wrong with his body, but Monica couldn''t have a child. His mother was immediately unhappy, and Monica was also listless. That night, his mother made an excuse to scold her, but Monica endured it alone without saying a word. Later, she began to take medicine. He couldn''t remember how many Chinese medicines she had taken. Anyway, he remembered that he could smell medicine every time he came home. At first, his mother was active, and she tried her best to cure Monica. She found some folk prescriptions, and Monica was very cooperative. However, things didn''t change at all after two years. His mother began to lose patience, and her words became more and more unpleasant. One day when he got home, he heard a quarrel. Jenny was so angry that she cried and broke a lot of things. The pressure was too great, and his mother was unreasonable. He knew that she was having a hard time. There was a period of time where she had been asking him all day, "Quarmy, if I can''t give birth in my lifetime, will you not want me?" He hugged her andforted her. "I only want you. It''s enough!" This was true. To him, the children were really not important. The most important person was she! Later, the conflict between Jenny and Monica became sharper and sharper. The quarrels became normal. Every time they quarreled, his mother would cry in front of him. He was in a dilemma. He had tofort his mother first and thenfort her. When another quarrel came, they no longer epted hisfort. His mother asked him to divorce her, and she also told him firmly that she was very tired and no longer wanted to take awful Chinese medicine. She no longer wanted to go through the creepy examination and endure his mother''s criticism. She wanted a divorce! Quarmy''s heart turned cold. He was on the verge of copsing when he heard his beloved woman ask for a divorce. He hugged her and pleaded, "Give me a little more time, I will convince my mother, Moni, please!" She was not moved at all. "I''ve had enough. Quarmy, you can''t live without a child. Your mother won''t allow that. We won''t be happy!" That night, he kept begging her to stay. After all kinds of nice words, she finally stopped talking about divorce. He made up his mind to look for his mother. He said that he wanted to move out with Moni. Jenny was very sad and very disappointed. His attitude was very resolute, and finally, Jennypromised. In the third month after moving out, his mother suddenly came looking for him. She threw a set of photos and a recording pen in front of him. "Look, this is your wife. Look at what she did behind your back!" He looked at the photos of Monica and Leon hugging each other in shock. No! Monica wouldn''t betray him! This must be a mistake! Jenny yed the video and he could clearly hear Monica and Leon''s voices. She wasining to Leon about how his mother had tortured her. She said that she had had enough of this life, and she wanted to divorce. Leon wasforting her. Quarmy did not want to know what happened afterward. That was a thing that every man wasn''t willing to face. He crazily jumped up, tossed the recording pen onto the ground, and then smashed it to pieces. At that moment, his heart was shattered with blood! He was trying to find a way to stay with her forever, while she was already to give up on him. She actually secretly met up with Leon behind his back. Jenny was cursing her viciously, forcing him to divorce her. She couldn''t wait! However, he really could not bear the days without her. It was ridiculous. It was hard to imagine that a sessful man like him would choose to tolerate it after knowing his wife cheated on him. He could tolerate it, but Jenny couldn''t. "Quarmy, what''s so good about Monica? She can''t even give birth to a child. She''s outrageous and unreasonable. She even cheated on you behind your back. The Huo family can''t afford such a woman. If you still treat me as your mother, divorce her immediately!" Jenny pounded the table and shouted at him with gritted teeth. "Mom, it''s all because of you! You made Moni unhappy. It''s not her fault for being sterile. How can you provoke her like this?! If you hadn''t pushed her, she wouldn''t have done this!" For the first time, he was angry with his mother. "Am I wrong? Isn''t her fault for being sterile? You''re the only son of the Huo family, you have to have a child! Since she can''t get pregnant, she should leave. Isn''t she a dog in the manger?" Jenny said angrily. "The point is that she cheated. Why are you still defending that slut? You must divorce her. I''ll go and talk to her personally!" "Mom!" Quarmy stopped Jenny. "I''ll settle this!" "I tell you, I won''t let it go. As long as she''s still your wife, this isn''t over. I want to see how shameless she can be to stay in our house!" "Mom, don''t force me!" After a few days, Jenny came to him again. "I can stop you from divorcing that b*tch, but I have a request." "What''s your request?" "I want a grandson!" "No! I won''t betray her!" He resolutely shook his head. "Silly child, she had an affair with another man behind your back. Why don''t you give up on her?" "Mom, I won''t betray her! No!" "Silly child, do you have to have sex to get a baby? There are so many young women outside who are surrogates..." Jenny stared at him. "Quarmy, as long as you give me a grandson, you can do what you want! I will never force you again!" He looked at his mother''s face and kept silent for a long time. Finally, he uttered the word, "Okay!" But he never dreamed that things would turn out like this. The person Jenny chose turned out to be Madrigal. Jenny didn''t tell him this until Madrigal was pregnant. Quarmy was really shocked. He didn''t know why Madrigal would agree to do this kind of thing. As the mayor''s daughter, it was really incredible for her to do this. Madrigal told him that she loved him. She knew that she could not be with him in this life. When she heard that his mother was looking for a surrogate, she decided to have a child for him. Madrigal also said that she would never disturb their marriage and let him rest assured. The development of the matter had gone beyond Quarmy''s n. He was shocked and med himself. After knowing that Madrigal was pregnant, he waspletely at a loss. Both his mother and Madrigal thought that the child was his. Only he knew that it wasn''t. He got that sperm from the sperm bank. He just wanted his mother to leave them alone. In the whole incident, he felt the sorriest for Madrigal. He knew her much earlier than Monica. He also knew that she had a good impression of him. As the daughter of the mayor, Madrigal was gentle and kind. Jenny always wanted him to marry Madrigal to get Zoe''s help. But he didn''t love Madrigal at all. He treated her as a friend. He didn''t know how his mother persuaded Madrigal to carry a baby for him. How much courage did an unmarried woman need to do this? The reason why Madrigal was willing to do it was that she liked him. If she knew that the child was not his, it would be a great blow to her. Quarmy was in a dilemma. Because Madrigal was pregnant, his mother started to plot something else. She kept nagging that she wanted him to divorce Monica, but he firmly disagreed. Madrigal had to undergo a maternity check-up after she got pregnant. Jenny tricked him into going to the hospital and said that she could not let Madrigal be looked down upon by the doctor. She wanted him to sign the birth check-up sheet. He couldn''t refuse. The anxiety in his heart began to be more and more serious. What would Monica think if she knew that Madrigal was pregnant? He wanted to tell her about it, but he was afraid that she would have other ideas. He began to fear to go home, and he began to escape subconsciously. He didn''t expect that his mother woulde to Monica with Madrigal, and he didn''t expect that Monica would fight with Madrigal. Hearing that his mother went to find Monica with Madrigal, he immediately rushed home, but he did not expect to see such a scene. Madrigal was lying on the ground covered in blood, but Monica kept cursing like a madman. Quarmy felt very guilty. In the whole thing, he only felt sorry for Madrigal. When he saw her lying in a pool of blood and twitching, he took her to the hospital without thinking. The child was not saved. Jenny was so angry that she forced him to divorce. Jenny was his mother who gave birth to and raised him. Monica was the person he vowed to love all his life. He really could not choose. He could not just watch Jenny die or lose Monica. Jenny used a knife against her neck and forced him to find awyer to write a divorce agreement. His heart was very cold. He still had thest glimmer of hope, which was to do something on the divorce agreement. If the conditions on the divorce agreement could not be tolerated, she would not agree to sign it. That night, when he sat in the cold living room, his heart was colder than anyone else''s. His mother was sitting in the car outside. She threatened him with her life. He still hoped that she would make a concession for him. But she directly agreed. After signing the contract, she disappeared quickly. He didn''t realize that she had never loved him until she disappeared. Madrigal''s matter was not his wish, and there was a reason for it. If she had cared about him, she would not have left without asking the reason at all. She signed the contract so fast and she left without hesitation. A few dayster, Xanjer came to him and said, "Mr. Huo, Moni asked me to get the divorce certificate and her ring." Xanjer''s expression was very calm. There wasn''t the slightest hint of resentment or anger on his face. It was as if he was facing someonepletely unrted to him. His words sounded extremely mocking in Quarmy''s ears. Ever since he got married to Monica, Xanjer had always been addressing him as Mr. Huo, as if he knew they would divorce. "Where is she?" He gritted his teeth and said, "Divorce is a matter for two people. Without her presence, there is no way to get a divorce certificate." Xanjer said in a low voice, "I see! Let''s put aside the divorce certificate first. Moni didn''t take away anything, so please give me the ring. That ring cost her 5,000 yuan. Mr. Huo doesn''t care about the money, but we do." Xanjer''s words made Quarmy really upset. He had to give the ring back to Xanjer. Xanjer took the ring and left. Later, he saw the ring appear in the pawn market. When Monica bought it, she spent more than 5,000 yuan. But she sold it at eight hundred yuan on the pawn market. This was Monica, who never procrastinated in her actions. Ever since she sold the ring, Quarmy''s hatred for her had never lessened! He wanted to break her wings and let here back willingly, so Monica couldn''t find a job after divorce. He thought that he would force her toe back, but she suddenly disappeared. He thought that she would go back to find Leon. Didn''t she want to be with Leon? He wouldn''t satisfy her. He went straight to Old Mrs. Gu. Old Mrs. Gu said that she would never allow Monica to be with Leon. Even so, he was still worried and kept an eye on Leon. However, she had never been by Leon''s side. He had never expected that she would stay in the countryside of Jiang City and have a child for another man. If he hadn''t forced her like that, she wouldn''t have chosen to get married, would she? She hadn''t been pregnant for five years, but after she left him, she got pregnant very quickly. This was undoubtedly the biggest irony for Quarmy. He had read many books about pregnancy for her. He knew that it was not easy for a woman to get pregnant due to great pressure. Her pressure shoulde from his mother. Thinking back to the great pressure his mother had ced on her, Quarmy wanted nothing more than to die. He should have brought her out earlier. If he had brought her out earlier, everything would not have been like this. She would definitely have had a lively and adorable child with him. As long as she had a child, his mother would never make things difficult for her. But now, it was too Quarmy didn''t want to go home, so he drove to the bar alone. He leaned on the sofa and drank silently. He could hear his phone ringing, but he didn''t want to pick it up at all. He drank a lot of wine in the bar, and finally, he was sent home by the bar''s designated driver. It was already midnight, and the light in the living room was still on. Because he didn''t go home, nor did he answer the phone. Jenny was worried and kept waiting. Seeing Quarmy holding the door frame and standing at the door, Jenny turned around andined, "Quarmy, why don''t you answer the phone? Madrigal has been waiting here for a few hours." "I didn''t ask her to wait!" Quarmy replied impatiently. "What''s wrong with you? What happened?" Jenny looked at her son. Quarmy walked up to her and sat down in front of her. "Mother, do you really love me?" "Silly child, what are you talking about? Is there any mother who doesn''t love her own son?" Jenny replied. She frowned at the smell of alcohol. "Why did you drink? You have a bad stomach." Quarmy leaned against the sofa and muttered to himself, "If you really love me, why can''t you see how sad I am? Why?" He didn''t believe Jenny couldn''t see how sad he had been during the three years without Monica. Love me, love my dog. He had given way to his mother because of filial piety. Why couldn''t his mother ept Monica for him? This was what he wanted to know most. "Quarmy, you''ve drunk too much!" Jenny didn''t take his questions seriously. Worried that her son would hurt his stomach, she immediately ordered the servant to make a sobering soup. Having been with his mother for so many years, he knew that she was good at changing the subject. Seeing that, Quarmy struggled to get up the stairs. Monica also couldn''t sleep while lying on the bed that night. She hated Quarmy. The more she loved him, the more she hated him. As long as she thought of how he told her that he loved her yet cheated on her, she wouldn''t be able to forgive him. Thinking of the situation when Quarmy and Madrigal were having sex behind her back, she felt as if her heart had been taken away. In addition to the pain of life, there was also iparable humiliation. She couldn''t wait to kill them. She tried her best to cure herself and suffered a lot of humiliation and torture from Jenny, while he had already begun to have his own child outside. Monica felt a chill run down her spine as soon as she thought of how he was pretending tofort her. "I only want you. I don''t want a child!" How disgusting and shameless was he to be so calm to coax her? Thinking of how he was ruthless to her after his scandal was revealed, Monica felt cold. She would never forgive Quarmy. In this life, he would never know that he still had a son! This was his retribution! This was his retribution for cheating! Probably because Coco was not limatized, he had been feeling a little sicktely and had started getting hot again. Monica took him to the hospital on an IV drip. After two days in the hospital, the fever was finally brought under control. Monica carried Coco to leave the hospital. When they were waiting for the elevator, they met Madrigal and Nee. Madrigal got up this morning and found that her throat was ufortable, so she asked Nee to apany her to the hospital. They didn''t expect to meet Monica, so they were shocked. Seeing Monica holding the child, they looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. They were thinking whose kid the child would be. Monica was sterile, so this child definitely wasn''t hers! These were the thoughts of Madrigal and Nee. Looking at Monica''s beautiful face, Madrigal was a little jealous. Monica''s beauty was famous. Many boys in college called her goddess. Monica stole her thunder. She was very unhappy at that time. During these years, she had been pampered while Monica had been a vagabond. Originally, she thought that Monica would look old, but she didn''t expect that her beauty seemed to be rooted in her body, and she was just as beautiful as she used to be. Madrigal was jealous and sneered in her heart. "What''s the use of being beautiful? Can you have a baby?" She felt much morefortable at the thought of it. Nee was also jealous of Monica''s beauty. Moreover, she was still unhappy about the p she had sufferedst time. She snorted at Monica provokingly. Monica turned a blind eye to her dissatisfaction. There was no need for her to care about a dog. The elevator came, and Monica entered the elevator first without looking at them. Nee and Madrigal unnaturally followed her into the elevator. Some people were just cheap. The more you ignored her, the more she wanted your attention. Nee was such a cheap woman. She wanted revenge for what happenedst time. Monica was driven out of the Huo family because she was sterile. It was better to irritate her by that. Nee sneered. "Madrigal, how hard can it be for a woman not to have a baby? She must be jealous when she sees other people''s children." Madrigal was also happy in her heart. Nee was really her best friend. She actually said everything she wanted to say. She didn''t answer but smiled gently. Madrigal''s smile was an encouragement for Nee. Nee became more and more proud. "It doesn''t matter how pretty a woman is if she can''t have kids. She is equivalent to being half-cripple!" As soon as she finished speaking, the little boy in Monica''s hand said in a childish voice, "Mom! I''m Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. hungry!" Nee suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, and so did Madrigal. They looked at each other in surprise. Was the child calling her Mom? Maybe he was adopted! The two of them thought so at the same time. Coco, who was in Monica''s arms, changed his posture and turned his head. Seeing Coco''s face, Nee and Madrigal were both stunned. This child was exactly the same as Monica. Madrigal''s smile disappeared. She stared at Coco in shock, and then looked at Monica. The child really looked after Monica! If she hadn''t been so good at disguising herself, she would have screamed out! Monica gave birth to a baby?! How was that possible? Monica only felt funny when she saw Madrigal''s stunned expression. She looked back at Coco with her eyes full of tenderness and love. "Good boy,ter I''ll take you to eat delicious food!" The air quieted down. Madrigal and Nee were staring at each other, speechless. The elevator was running, and there was only Monica''s gentle voice. Finally, the elevator door rang open, and Monica strode out with Coco in her arms. Madrigal and Nee followed. Looking at Monica''s back, Nee lowered her voice and said, "Madrigal, she, she can''t give birth to a child, can she? Where does that boy from?" "How would I know?" Madrigal''s face was gloomy. "I don''t know if Quarmy knows that she has a child..." "Shut up!" There was a trace of anger on Madrigal''s face. She interrupted Nee harshly. Nee had never seen such a Madrigal before and she was shocked. Madrigal did not care about Nee. "Take a taxi home. I have to leave first!" Nee watched Madrigal drive away. Although she did not know why she was angry, it must have something to do with the child in Monica''s hand. It seemed that something bad was going to happen! Madrigal parked the car at the door and rushed into the house. She didn''t look like ady at all. Yale was watching TV on the sofa in the living room. When the door was pushed open, she frowned at her daughter''s grasp. "Why are you in such a hurry? Where are your manners?" "Mom! Bad news!" Madrigal rushed to her. "Monica... Monica has a child!" "What did you say?" Yale sat up straight all of a sudden. "How is it possible? You must have seen wrongly!" "I didn''t. That child looks very simr to her." Yale couldn''t believe it. "How could it be?" "Mom! What should we do?" Madrigal was anxious. "Didn''t you say that she was sterile? What''s going on with this child? If Quarmy knows that, what shall we do?" "Shut up!" Yale shouted at her daughter, "Why are you making a fuss?" "Mom! I''m scared!" Madrigal bit her lip. She was really scared. At that time, Monica and Quarmy broke up because of children. If Quarmy knew that Monica could get pregnant, everything she had nned would be in vain. "Last time, Monica went to a blind date and said that she had a child. We didn''t believe it, but it seems to be true." "Let me think about it! Let me think about it!" Yale also knew the seriousness of the matter. She stood up and walked around the room twice. "How old is the child?" "Two or three years old!" Madrigal didn''t know the exact age either. "Two or three years old? Is he Quarmy''s son?" Yale''s expression turned grave. This child was very strange! If it was Quarmy''s child, things would go out of control. "I doubt that." Madrigal was uncertain. "If the child is really Quarmy''s, why did she divorce at that time?" "It''s possible. Monica is as stubborn as her mother. They put love before everything and could not ept cheating. This child might really be Quarmy''s." "Then what should we do?" Madrigal was anxious. She was still in shock that Monica had a child. If this child was Quarmy''s, he had no hope to marry him at all. "Let me think about it, let me think about it!" Yale walked a fewps and made a phone call. "Monica has a child. Why?" The other party was silent for a moment. "Yale, you know, Monica, she... she''s not sterile!" "Shut up!" Yale was furious. "What''s the point of saying these things now? Didn''t you tell me that she would be sterile for the rest of her life after taking those medicines? How can you exin it?" "Perhaps she didn''t take all of the medicine, or there might have been an exception..." The other party exined. An exception? Damn it! Yale gritted her teeth and said, "Truth wille to light sooner orter. The Huo family will definitely know about it. If someonees to investigate, do you know what to say?" "Don''t worry! I''ve already had a n!" The other party promised. This made Yale feel slightly relieved, but what should she do now? Seeing Yale''s seriousness, Madrigal became more and more anxious, and she kept muttering, "How could this happen? Mom, what should I do now? What should I do if the child is Quarmy''s?" Yale didn''t have time tofort her. She knew things were getting serious, but now was not the time to panic. She had to find a way. Yale was different from Madrigal. After all, Yale had experienced a lot and she quickly calmed down. What she was most worried about now was not Monica, but who the father of the child was. As long as the child wasn''t Quarmy''s, everything was fine. Chapter 79 Chapter 79 Last time, Quarmy had ruined Rnd''s love confession. Rnd had been angry for many days, but he had always been a person who was very good at adjusting himself. He immediately cheered himself up and was ready to pursue Monica again. Coco''s appearance let Rnd know that to please Monica, he not only had to be gentle but also to gain Coco''s affection. As long as Coco liked him, Monica would definitely love him. Therefore, Rnd began to visit Monica''s new home frequently. Every time he went there, he would bring fun toys and snacks that Coco liked. The children were the easiest to coax, and Coco gradually started to like him. Rnd took the opportunity to ask Coco to be his son. Coco was a little hesitant. "What if you be my dad, what about Uncle Gu? I prefer Uncle Gu to be my dad." Hearing this, Rnd felt that he had been greatly hurt. "You''re so ungrateful. How can you still think of Leon when I''m pleasing you like this?" Of course, he dared not say this out loud, so he said carefully, "Your mom doesn''t Uncle Gu, she likes me. Do you understand?" "Mom really likes you?" Coco asked in disbelief. "Of course. I''m more handsome and smart than Uncle Gu. She will definitely like me!" "You''re not as handsome as Uncle Gu." Coco shook his head. In his heart, Leon was the most handsome man. "But if Mom likes you, I will acknowledge you as my father." Rnd was originally unhappy when he heard that he was not as handsome as Leon, but Coco''s next sentence made him happy. "That''s my boy. Dad will take you to the amusement park tomorrow." "Really?" Coco became happy after hearing that. He asked, "Will Mom go with us?" "Yes. We''re all going as a family." Rnd was very proud. On the weekend, Rnd came here early in the morning. Regardless of Monica''s objection, he offered to take Coco to the amusement park, Coco was really happy, but when he saw Monica''s unhappiness, he immediately stopped smiling and cautiously asked, "Mom, I want to go to the amusement park. Shall we go together?" Looking at his shining and pleading eyes, Monica''s heart softened and she agreed. Coco excitedly requested to y with the roller coaster. "Mom, Mom, I''m going to y with the roller coaster. Can you apany me?" Monica was afraid of heights. She shook her head and said, "Ask Uncle Wang to apany you. I can''t!" A look of disappointment appeared on Coco''s face. Rnd held him in his arms and said, "Mama is scared. Let''s go!" Monica looked at his handsome face and was slightly absent-minded. If it weren''t for his prominent family background, he would have been a nice guy. At noon, Coco was moring to go to a buffet. The two adults naturally agreed. Rnd treated Coco so well that he would do anything for him. Rnd ran into Jenny when he was picking food with Coco. Jenny was surprised to see him with the child. She thought this cute boy looked so familiar. She couldn''t help but reach out and patted his head. "What a cute child!" Rnd said triumphantly, "He''s my son!" "Your son?" Jenny was very surprised. She had never heard of Rnd''s marriage. Why did he suddenly have a son? Thinking of Rnd''s private life, this child must be an illegitimate child. She didn''t say much and politely went back to her seat. After sitting down, she looked towards Rnd and the child, only to see Monica. When she saw Monica, she was stunned and understood why the child looked so familiar. The child looked like Monica. Was he Monica''s child? It was impossible. If Monica had been fertile, she wouldn''t have forced Quarmy to divorce her. While she was thinking, Rnd and Monica sat down not far away from her with Coco. The three began to eat. Coco happily ate the food on the te. Seeing that he was wolfing down the food, Monica gently reminded, "Slow down, don''t choke!" Seeing Monica''s care for Coco, Jenny felt more and more strange. The kid looked so much like her. Was he really her child? No way! The doctor had already said that it was impossible for Monica to get pregnant! Then she suddenly heard the child''s childish voice. "Mom! I want to eat the sweet pepper squid on your te!" "Okay!" Monica indulged Coco fed it into his mouth. Coco ate one piece and smacked his lips. "I want more!" Monica fed him another piece. "You can''t eat anymore. Eat something else!" Coco obediently began to eat something else. Looking at Monica''s motherly eyes, Jenny was shocked. It was really her child! She actually gave birth to a baby! Back then, she had been certain that Monica would not give birth to a child, so she had tried everything to get Monica and Guarmy divorced. In order to get Ouarmy to agree to divorce, she had done a lot. In the end, she even managed to pull off that cheap trick. Of course, she did it because Madrigal reminded her that Monica used to date Leon. Also, she was instigated by Monica''s attending doctor Eva that she could frame Monica to have affairs with Leon. Eva gave her several ideas. The first was to nder Monica. Men could not stand being cheated. As long as Ouarmy saw the photos and recordings, he would definitely divorce. Those photos and recordings were all edited. Jenny thought that her son would divorce Monica because of this, but she did not expect that her son would be willing to put up with it. She had no choice but to ept Eva''s second suggestion: Find someone to conceive for Monica. Although she liked Madrigal, she never thought of using her as a surrogate. After all, Madrigal was the daughter of the mayor. How could she do such a thing? Eva said that it was a good thing. "Don''t you want to be Madrigal''s mother- in-w? As long as you persuade Quarmy to have a baby with another woman, and then send Madrigal to his bed, Monica will definitely divorce after knowing this." So, she went to her son ording to Eva''s suggestion and asked Quarmy to have a baby with another woman. Her son was so stupid that he would never betray his marriage. In the end, Eva advised her to use the method of artificial insemination. She thought that her son would be estranged from Monica after Madrigal got pregnant, but he didn''t. One of the most important reasons for persuading Madrigal to do this was that she swore that she would let Quramy divorce Monica. Therefore, she had to resort to extreme measures. She took Madrigal to find Monica. When they arrived, Eva called her, so Madrigal went into the house first. When she finished the call and went into the house, Madrigal was already lying in a pool of blood. Madrigal''s child was not saved in the end. She was mad. She forced her son to divorce, but he refused. Finally, she had no choice but to threaten him with her life. Recalling the past, Jenny would no longer be able to eat. She walked to Monica while Rnd and Coco were in the bathroom. "Is that child yours?" Monica looked up at Jenny and replied coldly, "Yes!" "Did you give birth to him?" "Yes!" Monica was extremely concise. "How is it possible?" Jenny couldn''t imagine it. She summoned up the courage to ask Monica because she wanted to know if this child was adopted. Didn''t someone say that adopted children would also look like their foster parents? "Why is it impossible?" Monica sneered. "Are you hoping that I can''t have a baby for the rest of my life, Mrs. Huo? Or you feel uneasy after knowing that I''m actually fertile?" Monica''s sarcasm made Jenny blush. She used to curse Monica in such a sarcastic manner. She didn''t expect that Monica would return this to her. She had nothing to say so she left the restaurant. In the elevator, Jenny was really upset. How could Monica give birth to a child? Monica''s irony was not the most important thing. She was most worried about her son now. If Quarmy knew that Monica had a child, this matter would be troublesome. She had to ask Eva what was going on. Jenny drove to the maternal and child health hospital. Jenny went directly to the medical clinic of obstetrics and gynecology. Many people were waiting at the door of Eva''s office. Jenny pushed the door open and went straight in. Eva, who was with a patient, stood up with a smile. "Why do you have time toe today?" "I want to talk to you!" Jenny didn''t look happy. Eva immediately told the patient to go out first. After the patient went out, Eva closed the door. Jenny sat down with a sullen face. "I want to ask you one thing, is Monica really sterile?" Luckily, Yale had already informed Eva, or she would have been caught unprepared by Jenny''s sudden visit. She pulled Jenny to sit down. "What happened?" "Monica has a child. Didn''t you say that she could not give birth to a child?" Jenny asked. "She has a child?" Eva looked surprised. "How is that possible? How can she have a baby if she can''t ovte?" "How would I know? It was you who said that she couldn''t ovte." Jenny stared at Eva. "I believe in your medical skills, so I forced her to divorce Quarmy." "It''s so unexpected! It''s really unexpected! I''ve seen so many sterile women, but I''ve never seen such a situation. I was just telling the truth. You know women can''t have babies if they can''t ovte. After This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. taking so many medicine and examination, she still couldn''t ovte, and you wanted a grandchild so badly, so..." "But why can she ovte now?" "I''m not sure about that. There are many reasons for female infertility. Apart from her own problem, the outside environment can also be a reason. For example, stress can lead to infertility. I once treated a white- cor worker. Her working pressure was really high, which caused her to be sterile for ten years after marriage. Later, she quit her job and got pregnant one year after that. Another patient was infertile because her mother- in-w put too much pressure on her. Later, she moved out with her husband, and then she got pregnant." Eva said with confidence. "So, Monica was infertile because I put too much pressure on her?" Jenny was very angry when she heard this. "That''s not what I meant. Didn''t Monica take so much medicine at that time? Perhaps the medicine she took had some effect. After all, she didn''te to my ce for examinationter, so I don''t know her specific situation." Eva replied. Since Monica and Quarmy moved out, she hadn''te to the hospital for an examination. Eva really didn''t know about her situation. If she hade to the hospital, Eva would definitely have made her unable to ovte. "But you didn''t say that at that time. You said that she couldn''t be cured. I have been friends with you for so many years, and I also believe in your medical skills. You said that so I began to think of another way." Jenny red at Eva. If Eva hadn''t said that absolutely, she wouldn''t have despaired and naturally wouldn''t have treated Monica that way. "My Mrs. Huo, why are you so angry? Monica doesn''t deserve Quarmy. She used to annoy you for being unfilial. Isn''t it good for them to divorce? Look at your future daughter-inw. She looks beautiful and has a good background. The most important thing is that she''s filial to you. Isn''t she better than Monica? Why are you still angry?" Eva said with a smile. "That''s true, but you don''t know how distant Quarmy and I are because of that woman. I only have one son, how can I bear to make him sad?" "We have been friends for so many years. I did everything for you. If it weren''t for our good rtionship, how could I have said these words to you?" Eva looked aggrieved. Jenny thought Eva''s words made sense. She had known Eva for so many years and had always had a good rtionship with her. If she hadn''t told Eva about Monica''s sterility, Eva wouldn''t have taken the initiative to think of a way for her. She sighed when she thought of this. "I''m mainly worried about Quarmy. If he knows that, what will he do?" "Just don''t let him know." "They''re in the same city. It''s impossible for him to not know this." Jenny sighed. "Then you should let him get engaged to Madrigal as soon as possible. Quarmy is a man of love. As long as you let him get engaged, he won''t think about Monica anymore." "This is the only way." After Jenny left, Eva immediately called Yale. "Jenny also knows about that matter. You have to find a way as soon as possible." "So fast!" Yale was shocked. "What did she say?" "She came to question me, but I''ve already fixed it. She''s just worried about the consequences of her son knows about it. You have to think of a way to let them get engaged as soon as possible." "I know, I''m working on this." Yale hung up the phone and ordered Madrigal, "Go visit Jenny with some imported fruit she likes and observe her attitude." Jenny came home and unexpectedly found that Madrigal was chatting with the servant in her own home. Seeing Jenny, Madrigal stood up from the sofa and said, "I''ve been busy these days and have no time to visit you. Today I''m free so I came here without telling you. Aunt Sun, you won''t me me for being rude, will you?" "Madrigal has bought a lot of your favorite fruits." The servant showed the fruits that Madrigal bought to Jenny in a fawning manner. Jenny''s mood was much better because of Madrigal''s arrival. She sat down and said, "There''s no need for you to be so polite." Then she ordered the servant, "Go buy some food that Madrigal likes." The servant agreed and Madrigal stood up thoughtfully. "Let me wash the fruit for you." "No need." Jenny stopped Madrigal and sighed slightly. Madrigal took the opportunity to ask, "You don''t look well. Is there something bothering you?" Jenny nodded and said, "Yes, I met Monica in the restaurant today." "She said terrible things to you?" "No. Madrigal, Monica has a child." "Ah!" Madrigal looked surprised. "Monica has a child? Is that true?" "I asked her. It''s true, and the child looks like her." Jenny thought of Monica''s ridicule towards her and felt a little depressed. Monica had a beautiful son, while her son was still single. When could she have a grandson? Thinking about it, she felt really upset. "Does Quarmy know that?" "I don''t think he knows that now. You know Quarmy well. He loves Monica so much. If he knows that she could have a child, he would definitely quarrel with me!" Then she thought of the future daughter- in-w sitting in front of her andforted her. "Don''t worry. So what if he knows that? Since Monica has a child, she must have been married, and it won''t affect you." Jenny didn''t feel confident when she said thest sentence. Madrigal was silent. She was not worried about Monica, but about whether the child was Quarmy''s. Jenny hadn''t thought about it yet, but it didn''t mean that she wouldn''t think about it all the time. Sooner orter, she would suspect it. Jenny loved children so much, and Monica''s child was a boy. If that child was really Quarmy''s, Jenny would definitely be happy. At that time, for that child''s sake, Jenny would naturally not help her. Without Jenny''s support, it was impossible for her to be with Quarmy. Seeing that Madrigal was silent, Jenny knew that she must be worried. "Don''t worry, I''ll keep an eye on Quarmy. It won''t affect your engagement." Jenny''s words offort had no effect on Madrigal. Madrigal could only calm Jenny first and let her feel guilty for herself so that she would have no time to think about the child''s identity. She sighed deeply. "If I knew that she could have a child, I wouldn''t have been a surrogate. If I hadn''t done that, she wouldn''t have divorced Quarmy. It''s all my fault." Jenny was very satisfied with Madrigal''s kindness. She wanted a daughter-inw who was obedient, filial, and sensible. "This has nothing to do with you. Don''t worry about it. I''m telling you this is just because we are going to be a family soon. You should know what you should know. Quarmy doesn''t know that Monica has a child. Even if he knows, what can he do? I will never let such an arrogant woman be with him again!" Madrigal said with a grateful look, "Aunt Sun, you''re the best! I will be filial to you!" The servant came back from shopping, Jenny stopped the topic and picked up the phone. "I''ll call Quarmy toe back for dinner." The call was quickly put through. Quarmy''s voice rang out faintly. "Mom, what''s the matter?" "Silly child, can''t I call you if there''s nothing?" Jenny asked in a reproachful tone. "I''m busy!" Quarmy replied. "No matter how busy you are, you have to eat. I asked the servant to buy the food you like. Come back for dinner. By the way, Madrigal is also here." When Jenny mentioned Madrigal, Quarmy frowned. "Mom, I''m really busy today. I still have a lot of things to deal with!" Jenny was unhappy. "You haven''t been home for dinner in a long time. Make an exception today and continue to work tomorrow." "No, I have to finish it today. What''s more, it''s urgent!" Quarmy did notpromise at all. "That''s it. I have to go!" Quarmy hung up the phone without hesitation. Jenny''s face darkened. Madrigalforted her obediently, "Quarmy must be very busy at work. Don''t be angry. Let me have dinner with you!" Madrigal''s obedience made Jenny angrier and angrier with her son. "I don''t believe that he will be too busy to even have time for dinner. Madrigal, you just wait at home. I must go to thepany to take him back!" Jenny went out angrily and went to thepany. When she arrived at thepany, she found that Quarmy was not here. She immediately called him, but he directly hung up the phone. She called again, but he shut down the phone. Jenny was really angry. She couldn''t find her son and had nowhere to vent her anger, so she had to go home. When she got home, the aunt had already prepared the meal. Hearing the sound of the car, Madrigal came to open the door with a smile. Seeing Jennye in alone with a sullen face, she was extremely disappointed. Jenny and Madrigal ate unhappily during this meal. Both of them felt ufortable. Jenny was angry with her son''s disobedience, while Madrigal was worried about her situation. Quarmy used to listen to Jenny. Now Jenny failed to bring him back, she knew very well that something had happened. What was going on? Did Quarmy already know that Monica had a child? Quarmy had always been paying close attention to Monica, so he should have known about her child. However, why was he so calm? There was only one exnation. The child wasn''t Quarmy''s. Madrigal''s heart was in a mess, so she didn''t want to stay in the Huo Family. After dinner, she sat with Jenny for a while before saying goodbye. Jenny didn''t have the mood to ask her to stay and asked the servant to send Madrigal out. The servant sent Madrigal to the door and took the initiative to say, "Don''t worry, I''ll inform you if something happens." Madrigal nodded. "Thank you very much!" Chapter 80 Chapter 80 Jenny and Madrigal were not happy, so was Quarmy. Ever since he found out that Monica had a child with another man, his heart had never been at peace. He had always thought that Monica''s blind date was not a big deal. Now it seemed that she really wanted to find a father for her child, so she chose a person like Evan. Thinking that Monica''s life had almost been ruined, he had been filled with self-me and hatred. Her current situation was caused by him, and he must find a way to make it up for her. Because of this idea, he was not in the mood to work for the past few days. After work, he did not go home. Instead, he drove to Monica''s ce and found that Rnd had be a frequent visitor to Monica''s house. Seeing that Rnd swaggered in and out of Monica''s house and apanied Coco to have fun, Quarmy couldn''t help but feel depressed. Even a blind man could feel the eagerness in Rnd''s eyes when he looked at Monica. It was impossible for Monica to not know how Rnd felt for her. She allowed Rnd to freely go in and out of her home, so she must have feelings for Rnd. Quarmy felt both anxious and angry. How could Monica fall in love with someone so easily? The most important thing was that he had let Noah inform Kim. Why hadn''t the Gu family taken action yet? Quarmy felt terrible in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. He just stayed in Monica''s neighborhood everyday, watching Rnd send her home. After they had dinner, he would see them go out to have a walk. They looked happy, while he felt that ten thousand arrows were piercing his heart. He was in so much pain that he wanted to die. However, he could not leave no matter how painful it was. He had to see Rnd leave with his own eyes. Only then could he felt relieved. He knew that his actions were veryughable. He was now her ex-husband who had made mistakes. He should stay out of Monica''s business. Staying here was only hurting himself. He knew everything, but he couldn''t control himself. It was already ten o''clock when he returned home. When he entered, he saw Jenny sitting in the living room with a sullen face. He said tiredly to the servant, "Help me prepare some food. I''ll take a shower ande out to eat." Jenny stopped him when she saw him go upstairs. "Why don''t you answer my phone?" "Didn''t I tell you? I''m busy. I don''t have time to have dinner with you." "I asked your secretary. They said that you had nothing important to do today, but you said that you were very busy and didn''t even have time for dinner. Why did you lie to me?" Jenny''s face darkened. "Don''t you think you care too much?" "You''re my son. I have to care about you." Jenny retorted with conviction. "So I''m your son? I thought I was your pet." Quarmy was in a bad mood and was especially impolite. "Since you want to control me, why don''t you use a chain to lock me in the house? You don''t have to put in so much effort to keep me under your nose all day." Jenny was annoyed, but Quarmy ignored her and went upstairs. Quarmy drove to Monica''s neighborhood in a daze. He was surprised to see Coco ying a ball on the Seeing Coco, he felt warm. He didn''t belong to the kind of person who liked children very much, but when he saw Coco, he felt warm andfortable. That familiar feeling made him very surprised. He thought that because he loved Monica, so he liked her son. Coco didn''t notice that Quarmy was quietly standing to the side and watching him. He was focused on ying with the ball as he counted, "One, two, three..." Suddenly, the ball in his hand rolled to one side. Just then a bald guy came over with his son. The child was older than Coco. He picked the ball up and held it in his hand. Seeing that, Coco said, "Give the ball back to me." "No!" With the bald guy around, the child was very arrogant. The bald guy saw that his child wouldn''t be at a disadvantage, he didn''t stop him. He only focused on ying with his phone. "This is my ball, give it back to me quickly!" Coco was anxious. "I won''t give it to you." Seeing Coco stretch out his hand to grab it, the child gave him a nudge, causing him to fall to the ground. Quarmy hurriedly walked over. Coco didn''t cry like ordinary children after he fell to the ground. Instead, he got up and rushed to the child. The child reached out to push him, and then he fell to the ground again. This time Coco got angry. He climbed up and grabbed the child''s hand and took a bite. After that, the child released the ball and burst into tears. The bald guy immediately stopped ying with his mobile phone. Seeing the teeth marks on the hand of his son, the bald guy suddenly got angry. "Son of a b*tch!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to grab Coco. Unexpectedly, his hand was twisted by someone. Quarmy looked at him coldly. "How can you, an adult, bully a child?" "Let go of me! It hurts so much!" The bald guy shouted because Quarmy exerted quite a bit of strength. Quarmy loosened his grip and the bald guy was pushed out. He staggered a few steps before regaining his footing. "Is this your child? He bit my son!" The bald guy said with deliberate anger. "You weren''t so angry when your son bullied him just now, were you?" Quarmy sneered. "Well... my son just pushed your son, but your son bit my son. What if he''s infected?" The bald guy argued. "You have to take my son to the hospital with a tetanus injection. You pay for this." Hearing that, Quarmy got angry, "Get the hell out of here with your son before I get angry! Otherwise, you''ll have to take responsibility for the consequences!" Seeing the coldness in Quarmy''s eyes, the bald man couldn''t help but shudder. Quarmy didn''t look like someone he could provoke. After thinking for a while, he left resentfully with his son. Quarmy picked up the ball and passed it to Coco. Coco looked at him with some admiration. "Uncle, are you a policeman?" "No, I''m not." "If you''re not a policeman, why is that bad guy so afraid of you?" "Because he has done something wrong, and he felt guilty." "Oh." Coco seemed to be confused. "Uncle, you must be very good at fighting, right? Can you teach me?" "Why do you want to learn that?" "If I''m good at fighting, I can protect Mom and Great-uncle from being bullied!" Quarmy''s heart ached when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xanjer''s voice. "Coco, Coco!" "Great-uncle called for me. I''m leaving! Uncle, you must remember to teach me in the future!" Before leaving, Coco reminded him. In the evening, Monica came back. Coco told her what happened during the day. Monica was scared. "Coco, when you go out to y, you must be with your great-uncle. Don''t bite others. It''s wrong." "He robbed me and hit me. Mom, I didn''t do anything wrong." "I know. But you are all kids. If he likes you ball, let him y with it for a while." "But I only have one ball. If I give him mine, Mom has to buy a new one for me. Mom is very tired. I don''t want to let Mom spend too much." Monica sighed. It was all because she was useless. She let Coco feel the economic pressure at such a young age. She secretly vowed in her heart that she would never mention the problem of money in front of Coco. "I have money. If Coco wants anything, I can buy it for you." "I don''t want anything. Can I go to the amusement park again?" "Okay!" Monica agreed quickly. Rnd was out of town, and Monica was allowed not to go to thepany. Taking this opportunity, she decided to take Coco to the amusement park. Early in the morning, she got up and helped Coco to wash up. Then, she went out with Coco in her arms. Seeing that Monica and Coco got on a taxi, a ck car parked at the gate of themunity followed them immediately. Monica was afraid of heights so she couldn''t take those thrilling rides with Coco. She only took Coco to y on merry- go- rounds and bumper cars. Coco felt bored after a while. "Mom, I want to y with the one Uncle Wang took me tost time." "I''m afraid of heights, and you can''t y with it alone." Monica exined. "Then let''s call Uncle Wang and ask him toe over, shall we?" "No, Uncle Wang has his own business. He can''t y with you all day long." "But he said that he wanted to be my father. He also said that if I agreed, he would take me to the amusement park every day." "He was just joking." "No, Uncle Wang said that he was serious and he would keep his word. He and I made a pinky promise. Mom, call him and ask him toe over." "I said no!" Monica''s face darkened. Coco puckered his small mouth and burst into tears. Monica didn''t know what to do. A slender hand appeared. "Let me apany you to y with it." Monica looked at Quarmy who appeared suddenly in surprise. When she saw him grab Coco''s hand, she reflexively refused. "No need!" Coco looked at Quarmy with happiness. "Uncle, why are you here?" "I''m here to have fun. Since you want to ride a roller coaster, I''ll take you there, okay?" "Okay, okay!" The two of them spoke as if they were close friends. Theypletely ignored Monica. Seeing that Quarmy was about to leave with Coco, Monica was furious. "Quarmy, what are you doing?" "I just want to apany the child on the roller coaster. I don''t mean anything else." "Mom, please. He is a good person, and he won''t hurt me." "How did you know?" "I just know." Coco held Quarmy''s hand. "I''m going to learn martial arts from him so that I can protect you." They ignored Monica''s strong opposition and left holding each other''s hands. Seeing the two get on the roller coaster, Monica dejectedly sat on the chair. Why did Coco have such a strong affection for a stranger? Was it really because they were rted by blood? When Coco and Quarmy came back, it was already noon. The hot sun made people dizzy. Monica took Coco from Quarmy and left. At noon, the drivers outside had probably gone to eat, so they couldn''t see a car for a long time. "Mom, it''s so hot!" Coco twisted her little body uneasily. "Get in the car. I''ll send you back!" Quarmy drove the car to Monica. Monica turned her head and ignored him. "I know you''re unwilling, but it''s hot. Do you want to watch the child suffer from heatstroke?" Quarmy opened the car door and got out. Looking at the sweat on Coco''s forehead and his blushing face, Monica finally agreed. Quarmy didn''t want to let go of such a precious opportunity, so he slowed down and asked, "Coco, are you hungry?" "Let me take you to eat delicious food, okay?" Coco nced at his mom. He had originally wanted to say yes, but it turned out to be no. Quarmy didn''t give up and said, "There are very delicious fruits, ice cream, seafood and pizza..." He actually didn''t know what Coco liked, but he remembered that the first time he saw Coco, he was eating pizza with Monica. Coco swallowed his saliva and looked at Monica eagerly. Monica pretended that she couldn''t see the desire in his eyes. "Baby, let''s go home and eat." Coco nodded. "I''ll listen to Mom. I''ve had fun at the amusement park. I can''t ask more. Children need to save money for parents." Quarmy had originally wanted to bait Coco, but he hadn''t expected Coco to say that. He frowned. "Monica, why are you so stingy?" "Mr. Huo, you don''t have the right to me me!" Monica coldly replied. He had no right toin about how stingy he was. She had saved some money these years, but she had used it to buy a house. Although the sry offered by Rnd was very good, she couldn''t use it all. She had to save money. Coco was growing up and Xanjer''s health wasn''t good. She would need a lot of money in the future. She had no choice. "Uncle will treat you for lunch today. I don''t need your mom to pay for it!" Quarmy drove to a fancy restaurant. "Mom, uncle said that you didn''t have to pay for it." Coco looked at Monica. Hearing his stomach growling, Monica felt distressed and carried him out of the car. "Mom, this restaurant is so beautiful!" Coco looked around curiously. "The food inside must be delicious, right?" "Yes." Monica answered. This was the most expensive restaurant in Jiang City, of course the food here was delicious. Monica sat down with Coco in her arms. Seeing Quarmy sit down with her, she said coldly, "Thank you for sending us here, Mr. Huo. I''ll pay you for the fare. Please don''t follow us, okay?" "I said I''d buy you dinner." "No need!" Monica refused. Quarmy ignored her refusal and shamelessly sat down across from her. "What do you want to eat, Coco?" He asked as he picked up the menu. "I..." Coco nced at his mother and lowered his head. "I''ll eat whatever Mom eats." Quarmy looked at Monica''s unfriendly face and ordered on his own. The dishes were quickly served. Coco was hungry and ate them like a wolf, which broke Monica''s heart. Seeing that Monica was just staring at Coco, Quarmy picked up some food for Monica. "Don''t just look at Coco, you should also eat." "Mom, eat this." Coco used his chubby hands to pick up the food for her. Monica ate it, but she did not eat what Quarmy gave her. Seeing this, Quarmy''s eyes dimmed a little. However, he quickly adjusted his mood and picked up some food for Coco. Coco smiled at him. "Thank you, Uncle." "Quarmy? Why are you here?" A voice suddenly sounded. Monica looked at Jenny, who was standing next to them with a gloomy face. Jenny was eating happily with her friend in this restaurant. Suddenly, her friend reminded her, "Isn''t that Quarmy? Why is there a child?" Jenny''s heart sank when she looked over. Her son actually took Monica to have dinner with that child. It seemed that he had already known that Monica had a child. No wonder he was in such a bad mood these days. It turned out that he already knew about it. Jenny was a little flustered. Since her son knew it, why didn''t he say anything? ording to his character, he should have gone home and had a big fight with her. She was eating while paying attention to the three people. Seeing her son''s ingratiating look and Monica''s indifference, Jenny was so angry that her heart ached. She was ning to leave with her friend who just received an urgent call. But when Jenny arrived at the door, she thought that she couldn''t leave like this, so she returned. "Why are you here?" Quarmy''s voice was very cold. "Don''t you know why?" Jenny asked, "Didn''t you say that you were very busy? Why did youe here for dinner?" "Can''t I even eat?" "Of course you can, but can you also weigh the pros and cons? You can''t leave your fiancee alone." Jenny said with a fake smile and looked at Monica. "Quarmy is about to get engaged to Madrigal. Miss Mo, if you have time, you can attend the engagement banquet." Monica''s expression didn''t change at all. "Madam Huo, I''m so d you''re here. Your son has been following us, and I''m already very annoyed. Since you''re here, take him away! As for the engagement banquet, we don''t seem to be familiar with each other. You''ve invited the wrong person." "You!" Jenny was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She fiercely roared at Monica, "Monica, people This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. should know their own limits. Why are you so shamelessly pestering Quarmy?" "Mom, you are wrong. She didn''t pester me. I''m pestering her." Quarmy interrupted Jenny. "Don''t you feel ashamed to say that? Why do you ignore your fiancee and stay with a shameless woman every day? You embarrassed me!!" "Mom, what is shameless?" Coco asked. "Your mother is a shameless woman!" Jenny interrupted. Quarmy''s expression changed. "Mom!" Monica had been forbearing for the sake of Coco. Hearing Jenny''s words, she finally couldn''t bear it anymore. She grabbed the cup on the table and poured it at Jenny. Jenny had never dreamed that Monica would get mad. She was sshed with water. She always thought herself elegant and noble. When had she been so humiliated in front of outsiders? She was so angry that she trembled. "You dare to ssh on me!" "How dare you spout such nonsense in front of my son! Believe it or not, I''ll beat you up!" Monica was ferocious. She turned to look at Quarmy. "Get the hell out of here!" Quarmy couldn''t stay any longer. He stood up and left. Monica''s voice came from behind him. "Remember to get the check!" Watching Quarmy leave, Jenny red at Monica and chased after him. Monica walked out of the restaurant with Coco in her arms. She was in an extremely bad mood. Coco Monica nodded. "Coco, in the future, stay away from that uncle, or that bad granny wille out." Coco nodded. "I''ll listen to Mom, and stay away from that uncle when I see him in the future." Chapter 81 Chapter 81 Quarmy parked the car at the door, and Jenny''s car also arrived at the door. The mother and son went into the vi with a gloomy face. The servant was shocked when she saw Jenny. "What happened?" Jenny didn''t answer and threw the bag on the sofa. "Let''s talk!" "Okay!" Quarmy sat on the sofa. He looked at Jenny coldly. "What do you want to say?" Looking at his indifferent look, Jenny was angry. "Quarmy, how can you be so cold-blooded? I''m your mother and I was bullied by that woman. Look at how arrogant she is!" "That''s your own fault!" Quarmy sneered. "As a well-educated person, how can you interfere with her dinner in public, and even attack her in front of her child? Monica already showed her mercy!" "How can you talk to me like this?" Jenny shouted angrily, "Your father died early, so I had to manage thepany and took care of you. Is it easy for me to take care of you for so many years?" "Since I was sensible, you''ve been talking about it for thousands of times. Mom, aren''t you tired?" Quarmy asked. "What single mom doesn''t have a hard time? Compared with others, at least you have apany left by Dad. You have enough property, so you won''t be homeless. You have never had to worry about living, but others are not so lucky." Quarmy said it on purpose. Thinking of Monica''s life, he felt very ufortable. If his mother hadn''t been tying him down with filial piety, he and Monica wouldn''t have be strangers. He wouldn''t have med himself like this, and wouldn''t have suffered. They would have had children of their own and a happy life. Thinking of these things, his anger burst out like a volcano. "It''s said that maternal love is selfless and never asked for returns. Why have I never felt this? Since I can remember, you have tied me up with morality. You even threatened me with your life. The other mothers want their sons to be happy, but what about you? You only care about thepany, power and wealth. I always want to ask you, am I really your own son?" "Quarmy, what do you mean? What happened?" Jenny looked at her son as if she didn''t know him. "I just want to ask you, why do you torture me like this?" Quarmy''s eyes were red with blood. "I would This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. rather you throw me away to marry another man than to tie me up with filial piety. I would rather live in the orphanage than live a life that is worse than death!" Quarmy''s words made Jenny''s eyes directly round. How could a son say those to his mother? "You disobedient bastard..." Before she finished her words, Quarmy interrupted her immediately, "Disobedient? If so, how would I allow you to endlessly abuse my beloved woman? How would I drive her out of the house, and let her have nothing to leave? You have been tying me up for decades with filial piety, aren''t you tired?" "How... how can you say that to me?" Jenny trembled with anger. Her son had been listening to her for so many years that she had never checked her words and deeds. She always thought that what she had done was for her son''s good. Now she suddenly heard that, how could she stand it? She finally knew her son was defending Monica. "How dare you get angry at me for that woman? What the hell did she do to make you hate me?" Jenny shouted, "If she hadn''t gone against me, would I have done that to her?" "She went against you? Now you still think so. Do you think I''m blind?" Quarmy was extremely disappointed with his mother. "Since Monica married me, you''d rejected and picked on her. She put up with everything for me, but you''d just made it worse by humiliating her and torturing her. Mom, you''re also a woman. Why can''t you think for her?" "Didn''t I think for her? She couldn''t get pregnant so I took her around to seek medical advice. I''d never given up on her in the five years you''d been married. If it weren''t for her cheating and her vicious methods of pushing Madrigal to lose her baby, would I do this to her?" Quarmy''s heart was filled with anger when he saw his mother''s stubborn look. "With an evil mother-in- How does it feel to see a beautiful child beside her?" Jenny couldn''t say a word at once. "Mom, don''t you have anything to say?" Quarmy looked at his mother sarcastically. "I..." Jenny had nothing else to say. "Do you want to know what kind of life Monica had been through after being driven out by me? I''m telling you, she was forced to marry another man after being driven out by me, a ruthless billionaire. She doesn''t love that man at all, but she had to marry him for livelihood." "I didn''t force her. I just asked you to divorce. I didn''t say that I wouldn''t give her money." Jenny retorted. "Yes, it''s my idea not to give her money, but do you know why I''m so cruel?" Quarmy said fiercely, "I was forced by you! You forced me and Monica to divorce with your life, but I really didn''t want to! I couldn''t let you die, so I asked thewyer to draft such an agreement. I just wanted to force her to refuse the harsh conditions. But she was desperate! She signed it without saying anything. In order to force her back, I tried every means to make her unemployed. Unexpectedly, she never came back!" Quarmy yelled at Jenny, but he didn''t feelfortable. He was depressed and said, "In order to survive, she chose to marry. But when she was about to marry, her husband died. Her son was born without a father. These years, she took her child to run around and suffered a lot. She shouldn''t have suffered these things if she hadn''t married a coward like me. She lived in sufferings because her ex- husband is a cold-blooded and ruthless man. Do you understand?" Jenny naturally did not understand. "Since things have already happened, why don''t you give her some money?" Hearing her indifferent words, Quarmy punched on the tea table in front of her. "Is this a problem of money?!" "So what do you want? She''s married and has a child. What''s done is done. What else can we do except for giving her money?" "I''vee up with a best solution. I want to marry her again and treat her child as my own child!" "Are you crazy?" Jenny jumped up. "I''m not crazy. This is the result of my careful consideration during this period of time." "No! I will never let you do this!" Jenny was anxious. "Quarmy, there are a lot of ways to make it up for her. You don''t have to marry her. You and Madrigal have already set the date of engagement. Everything is ready. If you marry Monica, what about Madrigal?" "You canpensate her with money!" Quarmy replied coldly. Wasn''t this what she just said to him? He immediately said it back to her. Jenny was upset. "Quarmy, Madrigal is an innocent girl. It''s really not easy for her to do all those things for you. You have to think for her." "Who will take Monica into consideration?" Quarmy retorted, "Madrigal''s matter is all because of you, you go to settle it yourself. I am going to take Monica back now. No one can stop me!" "If you do this, I''ll go die!" Jenny threatened. "Mom, don''t you feel sick of saying it every day?" Quarmy looked at Jenny and said, "It''s enough to use the same method once. It''s annoying to use it again and again." "You..." Jenny didn''t expect that his son would say such ruthless words, she was helpless. "I remember you once told me you would have no face to see my father without a grandchild. I don''t have a child now, do I? Mom, you won''t die!" Quarmy sneered. Jenny''s face turned red, but she couldn''t say anything. Quarmy turned around and went upstairs. After a few steps, he turned back and said, "I won''t be at anyone''s disposal this time. I''ll make the decision for my whole life!" Yale apanied Zoe to a party. Madrigal was alone at home, she felt very lonely. She went back to her room after watching TV for a while in the living room and felt bored. She didn''t know why, but she always felt a little uneasy. Was there anything wrong? Just as she was thinking about it, the phone rang. She picked it up and heard a low female voice. "Miss Jane, it''s me." "Aunt Liu?" Hearing the voice of Quarmy''s servant, Madrigal had a bad feeling. "Madam and Mr. Huo just had a big fight." "Why?" "Because of Monica. Mrs Huo knows she has a son..." The servant told her the contents of the quarrel. The more Madrigal listened, the more frightened she became. After the report, the servant hung up the phone in a hurry. Madrigal was in a state of stupefaction. What should she do? What should she do? "Why hasn''t my mothere back yet?" She picked up her mobile phone to call Yale. The phone rang twice and was hung up. Madrigal couldn''t sit still any longer. She hurriedly opened the door and went downstairs, only to hear the sound of a car. She heard that her mother and father came back. Yale came in with Zoe with a smile. Madrigal knew that the party must be very sessful. Madrigal calmed herself and came forward. "Mom, I bought a set of clothes. Would you like to see it?" Yale nodded and said, "You go up first. I''ll make your dad a cup of tea first." "Go ahead. I''ll ask Lancy to make tea." Zoe was in a good mood. "I''ll do it. I''m afraid that you won''t be used to it if Lancy makes it." As Yale said this, she went to make tea for Zoe immediately. Madrigal was so anxious that she didn''t dare to show it out, so she had to go upstairs. A few minutester, Yale entered Madrigal''s room. "Did you hear any bad news?" Madrigal nodded and told Yale what the servant said. "Mom is really smart to leave keep such a woman by Jenny''s side. Otherwise, we won''t know anything now." "That''s why you have to keep your options open. When I asked Lassie to stay, you didn''t agree." "I was afraid that she would cause trouble. She knew what we did to Monica. If she identally exposed herself, what should we do?" Madrigal replied. The medicine that Monica had taken was all made by Lassie. She could do such a vicious thing so she must be a ruthless person. So after the matter was over, she wanted Lassie to get away with money. But Yale disagreed and said that Lassie was still useful. Now it seemed that Yale was right. "How are you going to do things in the future if you''re only halfway there and then kick out the useful person? Before you officially be Mrs. Huo, Lassie can''t leave. What''s more, I took advantage of Lassie because of her son. She has something on me, so she can''t make a big trouble." Yale snorted. "Mom, you''d better think of a way to stop Quarmy''s marriage with Monica. I''m so anxious." "As long as you can make sure that the child is not Quarmy, nothing will happen." Yale was not too worried. "The child is definitely not Quarmy''s. If it was Quarmy''s, Jenny wouldn''t have quarreled with Quarmy. She would have been happy since she wants a grandchild so badly." Madrigal was now only worried that Jenny could not stop Quarmy. "Lassie said that Jenny could no longer threaten Quarmy even with life." "I''ve said that Quarmy was not a fool, and he wouldn''t allow Jenny to control him. Everything will be fine if the child is not his." Yale sneered. "Have youe up with a solution?" "How could Jenny let her son raise another man''s child? She will definitely find a way to stop it." "What can she do? Quarmy doesn''t care about whether she is alive or dead now. How can he listen to her?" "That''s because he knows that Jenny won''t really die. This method can only be used once. Only fools will be threatened again and again." Yale sneered. "If she can''t convince her son, she will definitely The wind blew at night. Monica wrapped her coat tightly and hurried downstairs with rubbish. At a nce, she saw a ck Maybach downstairs. She was shocked. Didn''t Rnd leave? Why did he Quarmy did not expect to see Monica at this time at all. After quarreling with his mother, he was sad in his heart, so he drove around. He found that he had no ce to go. Later, he unconsciously drove the car here. He was very upset. He opened the cigarette case and took out a cigarette. When he was about to light it, he heard a familiar voice. She was calling him Rnd. His breath suddenly stopped, and he was still holding a cigarette box in his hand. He looked at the familiar slim figure running over and stood in front of his car. After she saw clearly that it was him in the car, her smiling face was frozen little by little, and then she turned around without hesitation. He opened the door and got out of the car without thinking. "Moni!" He strode forward and grabbed her hand. Monica tried hard to break free, but he grabbed her tightly. She was anxious. "Quarmy, let me go!" "I have something to say to you." Quarmy grabbed her hand and dragged her into the car and lock the car regardless of her resistance. "I''m not interested in your words." Monica struggled. She reached out to pull the door, naturally, she couldn''t open it. Quarmy held her hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Moni, please sit with me for a while, please!" His voice was full of unspeakable sadness. Monica''s body stiffened and she subconsciously looked at him. Quarmy''s eyes were full of sadness. When she saw the sadness in his eyes, her heart suddenly ached. Her heart, which had been numb for a long time, suddenly ached. She looked away and took her hand out of his hand. She tried to keep calm and asked, "What do you want to say?" Quarmy didn''t say anything but just stared at her. Monica asked again, and then he sighed. "Moni, you have been living a hard life these years, haven''t you?" "I''ve got used to it!" She replied tly. Quarmy looked at her beautiful side face and felt as if a knife were piercing his heart. "Moni, I''m a jerk. I was wrong. I''m sorry..." He said incoherently. Since he knew that she had no choice but to marry another man, he knew that he was wrong. He thought about their past over and over again, and every time he thought about it, he felt he''d rather die. He was a jerk, a scum. How could he do that to the woman he swore to protect for his whole life? Quarmy''s apology made Monica turn her head around. There were some mistakes that could not be made up by an apology. She said lightly, "Did youe here just for saying this?" "Moni, I didn''t mean to hide the pregnancy of Madrigal from you. I wanted to tell you, but I didn''t have the courage. I was afraid that you wouldn''t ept it..." "It doesn''t matter now. It''s all in the past!" Monica interrupted him. Which woman would ept her husband to have a baby with another woman? Quarmy was really ridiculous. After so many years, he actually still wanted to exin. What was the point of exining? Didn''t he know that it was useless? "Mr. Huo, in fact, you don''t need to say these to me. We have divorced. Everything in the past is no longer important. There is no need to exin it or not." "Moni, I know you hate me very much, and I hate myself too." Quarmy''s eyes were full of remorse. "If I knew this would happen, I would not let you go..." "If Mr. Huo just wants to apologize and get my forgiveness, forget about it. I won''t ept your apology. You''d better let me out of the car!" Monica interrupted Quarmy again. "Moni, I don''t just want to apologize. I also want to make it up for you. Please give me a chance!" "How?" Monica sneered. "Let me take care of you and your child. I swear that I will never let you get hurt again!" "You swear?" Monica almostughed out loud. Didn''t he swear to her before? But what did he do? He said that he would give her a warm home. As a result, she had to face his mother''s abuse every day. He said that he only loved her for the rest of his life, and then he slept with the woman she hated the most. Monica''s eyes were full of hatred. "Go back to your girlfriend and tell her your vows. I don''t need a vow, and I won''t believe it anymore!" "Moni!" "It''ste. I have to go to work tomorrow. Mr. Huo, please let me go." Quarmy looked at her determined eyes and finally opened the door. "Moni, I remember every word that I said to you before. I have never forgotten our love! I will never let go of your hand!" Monica did not expect that he would say that, she suddenly felt a little surprised. Her hand holding the door paused for a moment, but she still opened the door. After getting out of the car, she looked at the man in the car and said, "Quarmy, since you left with Madrigal in your arms and asked me to divorce, all my feelings for you have disappeared. Don''t expect that a person who has been hurt by you wille back to your side and ept your so- called Her voice was very light, but it sounded like a thunder in Quarmy''s ears. His face instantly became pale, and his eyes lost light. His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but all his words were stuck in his throat. Looking at his sad and incredible look, Monica''s eyes shed with joy. She turned around and strode away. After the quarrel with Quarmy, Jenny''s heart was burning with sadness. Her son actually wanted to raise a child for someone else and bring back the annoying woman? No way! She would never allow her son to do that, but Quarmy didn''t listen to her at all. During this period of time, he went out early and returnedte. Except for sleeping, he didn''t appear at home at all. Jenny asked his secretary and knew that there was nothing serious in thepany recently. She knew that her son had gone to find that vixen again. In the past, she had been using filial duty to control Quarmy. However, since Quarmy said such ruthless words that day, she knew that the method was no longer useful. Since she could not convince her son, she could onlye to that woman and humiliate her severely. In that way, Monica might leave on her own. Didn''t she have a hard time? She would give her some money. If it was not enough, she would be more ruthless. She didn''t believe that Monica, a woman who had no money or power, could fight with her. When Monica saw Jenny in the morning, she felt that she was really unlucky. Jenny wore a fake smile on her face. "Miss Mo, let''s talk." Monica didn''t want to talk to her at all, but she also knew how patient this seemingly noble woman was. She didn''t want to be pestered, so she went to the nearby tea room with Jenny. Jenny gracefully picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, as if the person who was full of tea that day was not her. "When I went back that day, I heard from Quarmy about what happened to you. As a woman, I have sympathy for everything you have experienced. It''s not easy for you to take the child alone, so I decide to give you a sum of money." Although she tried her best to talk to Monica in a soft tone, Monica could only feel the irony in her words. She couldn''t helpughing. "Since when did you be a phnthropist?" Jenny''s face was a little hot. She controlled herself. "I heard that you had a bad time after your divorced Quarmy..." "There are too many people who have a hard time. Don''t tell me that you are willing to give money to all of them." "Of course not. I want to give you money because you used to be my daughter-inw. I can feel how hard it is for you, a single mother, to take care of your child." "Thanks for your kindness, but I don''t need it. I have the ability to support my son." "Monica, you have to think about the child''s future. With this money, you don''t have to work so hard. You can give the child a prominent future. As a mother, is there anything more important than that?" "You are right. As a mother, there is nothing more important than the future of the child." "So you agreed to ept my money?" Jenny was surprised. "ording to my understanding to you, you should not be such a person who is full of love. We both know each other well. It''s better to be more direct. What''s your purpose?" Jenny''s face was a little hot. "I hope you can leave Jiang City as soon as you get the money. Don''t show up in front of Quarmy for the rest of your life." "Why?" Monica sneered. "Jiang City is my home. Why should I leave?" "Monica, your appearance has a great impact on Quarmy. I don''t want my son to live in guilt all his life." "If he didn''t do bad things, he wouldn''t live in guilt. What''s there to be guilty about?" Monica sneered. Monica''s expression made Jenny feel that it might be impossible for her to leave with money. She was not patient anymore. "What''s is going take for you to let him go?" "Madam Huo, if you have no problem with your brain, you should remember that I have divorced your son a long time ago. I let him go three years ^ ^ n ago. "Monica, don''t pretend to be confused. If you didn''t pester Quarmy, how could he want to be with you? Let me tell you, I will never agree to the re-marriage between you and Quarmy. You''d better give up that idea." "When did you see me pestering your son?" Monica was furious. "It''s your son who shamelessly pestering me! I''m telling you, I''m not interested in your son! Since you have so much time, why don''t you go find your son? Don''t you have a lot of means? You can use your life to threaten him again. It''ll work." Jenny frowned slightly. "Since you are unwilling to admit it, then I will make it clear. If I find out that you are in touch with Quarmy again, I swear that there will be no ce for you in Jiang City. I will do what I said!" After that, Jenny went to Eva angrily. "I''m so angry. This woman is really my nemesis. She has been against me in the past. She is still bothering me even after she divorced." "Drink some water to calm down." Eva poured a ss of water for Jenny. Jenny took the water and took a sip. She was still angry. "She doesn''t want money. She must want to marry Quarmy again. Quarmy is really a fool. How can he want to marry a single mother? I''m really angry." "She did it on purpose. In the past, she didn''t have a child so she had no face toe back. Now, she brought the child back in order to provoke you. This woman is too bad. She knows that Quarmy still loves her. She is trying to let you and Quarmy to turn against each other!" Eva said with a worried look. "Yes, this woman is too bad. I can''t let her plot seed. I have to find a way to get her away." "Is there a way?" "Not yet." Jenny had a headache. Although she said harsh words to Monica, she hadn''t thought of any effective way, so she came to Eva. "Why don''t you help me figure out what to do with her?" "Actually, this is quite simple. She is now in a poor state. It''s easy for you to deal with her! Doesn''t she have a child? We can use her child to deal with her." "Use her child? Is that appropriate?" "Of course. We''re not really going to hurt her child, we''re just threatening her with her child. It''s not easy for her to have a child. I don''t believe she won''t give in then." "Well, I''ll go back and think about it." Jenny couldn''t think of any good idea, so she had to leave. At the same time, Noah reported to Quarmy, "Madam went to see Miss Mo today. She looked very unhappy." "I see." Quarmy shook the pen in his hand. He had expected that his mother woulde to Monica and say unpleasant words. If he wanted to be with Monica, his mother would definitely do something to stop him. However, he was not afraid now. Now the biggest problem was not his mother, but Monica. He had to let Monica trust him again. In addition, he had to make it clear to Madrigal. He never thought about getting engaged to Madrigal. It was all his mother''s decision. Madrigal was gentle and kind, but he had no love for her. He felt guilty for her because of her pregnancy. He once said to Madrigal that he could not forget Monica and would not fall in love with her. He advised Madrigal to give up on him, but she said that was willing to wait. At that time, Monica had disappeared. Jenny started to picking girlfriends for him after knowing that he didn''t want to be with Madrigal. He was very annoyed and finally acquiesced Madrigal to appear beside him. Now since he wanted to take Monica back, he had to let Madrigal give up on him. Since the engagement date had been decided, he couldn''t cancel it casually. Zoe was the mayor, so he had to give him a reasonable exnation. Persuading Madrigal to break up with him was impossible, so he had to find another way. Zoe had only one daughter, so he would definitely not let her suffer. Quarmy came up with an idea. A few dayster, the major media in Jiang City reported the scandal between Quarmy and Mary, a beauty graduated from Jiang University. With the exposure of the scandal, the media began to dig out the story between Quarmy and Mary. Quarmy and Mary had been in a rtionship for a long time. The media found that at the anniversary of Jiang University two years ago, Quarmy and Mary went to the hotel together. Later, Quarmy bought Mary a house at the most exclusive neighborhood in Jiang City. Quarmy stayed there one day for week. The seclusive measures of the neighborhood were very good, so no one knew it before. It wasn''t until Mary''s birthday that they were photographed celebrating at the hotel. If it weren''t for the paparazzi who followed them all the way, they wouldn''t have known that Mary was Quarmy''s secret lover. Once the news was reported, it caused a great stir. All the insiders began to talk about it. Quarmy and Madrigal hadn''t been married in three years. It turned out that Quarmy had a lover. Mary was beautiful and pure, and she was a talented woman. No wonder Quarmy couldn''t give up on her. If Madrigal was not the daughter of the mayor, it was impossible for her to stay with Quarmy. Seeing this news, Monica sneered several times. Sure enough, Quarmy was really addicted to cheating on others. She was looking forward to Madrigal''s reaction. Madrigal was so angry that her eyes turned red when she saw the news. She knew Mary, who used to have dinner with Quarmy. When Madrigal saw Quarmy''s care for her, she was a little jealous. Later, she didn''t realize that there was something abnormal and ignored it. But she didn''t expect that Mary was really Quarmy''s lover. When she thought that Quarmy would rather have a mistress than touch her, she couldn''t stand it. However, she could not go to Quarmy to question him, so she had to hide in the room and cry. Yale did not believe that Quarmy would have a mistress. She opened the door to scold Madrigal. "It''s obvious Quarmy''s idea that the news came out at this time. He is forcing you to choose. He wants us to propose breaking off the engagement." Hearing that, Madrigal also realized that the news was really too coincidental. It seemed that it was really done by Quarmy. After careful consideration, the mother and daughter decided to do nothing and waited for Quarmy to make his move. Jenny was also annoyed when she saw the news that Quarmy had a lover. It seemed that Quarmy was deliberately against her. She didn''t mind that he had a lover, but she knew the news was not true. She was the one who raised Quarmy. Having lived together for so many years, she knew Quarmy well. It was absolutely impossible for him to have a mistress. It seemed that he was paving the way for him and Monica to be together. No, she couldn''t let things go like this. She had to find a way out immediately. Chapter 82 Chapter 82 At noon, Rnd received a call from his friend, who insisted on inviting him to dinner. He asked Monica toe with him. It was in a private club in Jiang City. When Monica and Rnd arrived, they saw Quarmy, who was holding the hand of a beautiful woman. With just a nce, Monica recognized that she was Mary, a beauty graduated from Jiang University. "Mary is really beautiful. Quarmy is really lucky!" Rnd smiled softly. Monica red at him and said, "Why aren''t you after her if you like her? With your romantic character, maybe she will be with you." "Although she''s beautiful, I like you." Rnd looked at Monica with a smile. Monica red at him, and Rnd lowered his voice. "Quarmy is taking her to all kinds of asions without any hesitation now. Is he going to break up with Madrigal?" "How do I know?" Monica said impolitely. "Isn''t he afraid of annoying Zoe? What if Zoe gets mad at him because of this matter?" Monica sneered. "Quarmy doesn''t rely on Zoe to run thepany. What''s there to be afraid of?" "That''s true, but people won''t go against officials. It''s not a good thing for him to annoy Zoe." "Why do you care about him?" Monica was impatient. She really felt ufortable. Looking at Quarmy and Mary, she thought that a few days ago, he came to her for exining. Fortunately, she didn''t choose to believe him, otherwise... Quarmy looked at Monica and Rnd whispering to each other, feeling really ufortable. He held back the difort in his heart and entered the club with Mary first. Rnd led Monica to wander around for a while before entering the private room. The private room was full of his acquaintances. Monica only knew a few of them. Quarmy and Mary sat by the window. When Rnd and Monica came in, Quarmy nced at them with no expression and continued to talk with Mary. Seeing Rnde in with Monica, someone immediately teased him. "Mr. Wang, have you had a new girlfriend?" Rnd stared at him and said, "Dude, be polite. This is your sister-inw!" "Sister-inw?" Rnd''s words attracted everyone''s attention. Quarmy was holding a cup and drinking tea with a smile on his face, but his eyes darkened when he heard that. Rnd was serious? "She is really beautiful. You are so lucky!" Someone praised. "Of course. The woman I like must be good-looking and talented." Rnd was very proud. Monica red at him, who then pulled out the chair for her. "Dear, sit down!" It made Monica get goosebumps all over her body. Everyone burst intoughter. "Mr. Wang is always so considerate and gentle to women." Rnd patted the speaker and said, "Are you embarrassing me deliberately? I''m telling you, from now on, I''ll only be gentle and considerate to one woman." While talking, he looked at Monica, but Monica ignored him. The people next to himughed. "Mr. Wang, even my sister-inw doesn''t believe what you said, let alone others." "Time tells." "I only know that a man can''t change his nature." A man interrupted. Rnd stared at the man and said, "We''ll see." "I''m so scared. Sister-inw, I was just joking. Mr. Wang is gentle and faithful. He''s only good for you. You mustn''t kick him out of bed because of my joke tonight." Hearing this, the audience burst intoughter. Rnd gave the man a punch and said, "Hey, if you don''t speak, no one will treat you as a mute." "Mr. Wang, please spare me! I''m just telling the truth!" Looking at them, Monica couldn''t helpughing. Quarmy looked at her smile and felt upset. He picked up a shrimp for Mary beside him. Seeing his action, Monica sneered in her heart. She also picked up the food for Rnd. Rnd was so excited that his eyebrows were dancing. He immediately ate the food Monica picked up for him and smacked his lips. "Delicious!" Quarmy''s eyes shed a hint of gloom. A person next to Rnd happily suggested, "Since our sister- inw is here, why don''t you have a drink with her?" "Yes, yes." Someone immediately echoed, "Cross-cupped wine! Come on!" The person who proposed immediately filled the sses with wine and ced them in front of Monica and Rnd. Rnd picked up his ss and said, "Dear, since we''re all happy, you''d better not let them down." Quarmy stopped eating and looked at Monica and Rnd coldly. Monica didn''t want to cooperate at first, but when she saw Quarmy''s eyes, she suddenly got angry. It was just a trick on the table. What was she afraid of? So she picked up the ss and drank cross- cupped wine with Rnd. Seeing that, everyone cheered. Immediately, someone raised his ss to Monica. "Nice to meet you, Sister-inw!" Rnd stopped him. "Dude, stop it. Since youe here to propose a toast, you have to toast all the Everyone echoed. Louis did not expect Rnd to say that, so he had to toast to all thedies one by one. When he came to Mary, Quarmy reached out his hand to stop him. "Mary can''t drink. I''ll drink it on her behalf!" "She can''t drink?" Louis was stunned and immediately smiled evilly. "Could it be that she is pregnant?" All the people looked at Mary and Quarmy. "Congrattions, Mr. Huo!" Quarmy did not exin and raised his ss to Louis. Mary smiled gently, but Monica sneered in her heart. If it was true, there would be a good show. Seeing Quarmy drink a ss of wine, Louis filled his cup again. "You can''t drink only one cup on behalf of her. You have to drink three cups in a row!" Quarmy had a bad stomach. Mary looked anxious and said, "He can''t drink. Mr. Liu, don''t make things difficult for him." "No, he can''t break the rules." Louis insisted. Monica sneered as if she was watching a good show. Feeling Monica''s indifference, Quarmy raised his ss to drink it up. Seeing Quarmy''s face hadn''t changed after drinking three sses of wine, Monica sneered. He deserved that. She said with a smile, "Since Mr. Huo is going to be a father, everyone should toast him." As soon as she said that, Quarmy looked at her. She knew that he had a bad stomach. Thinking of the soups that she used to make for him, he felt bitter in his heart and naturally wore a bitter smile on his face. Monica''s proposal was immediately echoed by some people. "Yes, Mr. Huo, it''s a good thing. We have to toast for you!" Rnd smiled and whispered to Monica, "Are you trying to vent your anger on your illegitimate sister?" Monica smiled and picked up a piece of fruit and put it in Rnd''s mouth. Quarmy saw this scene and his heart was bleeding. Without caring about anything else, he picked up the bottle and began to pour the wine. Mary was anxious. "Let him go, everyone. He has a bad stomach, he can''t drink so much wine." "It''s fine. Mr. Huo is happy. It isn''t a big deal." Rnd interrupted. Quarmy looked at Rnd with sarcasm and said nothing. He raised his head and drank a ss of wine. "Mr. Huo, awesome!" Someone immediately filled his ss. Quarmy drank several cups of strong wine and immediately came to Rnd and Monica. Monica smiled very gently. "I''ll pour wine for Mr. Huo!" "Thank you, Miss Mo." Quarmy''s eyes and brows did not move at all. Instead of using the small sses on the table, Monica grabbed a goblet for drinking red wine. Seeing her movements, Mary gasped. Monica filled the goblet with wine, and then filled the ss of herself. "Congrattions, Mr. Huo!" Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Quarmy looked at the goblet in front of him and calmly picked it up. "Thank you, Miss Mo!" He raised his head and drank it. Rnd frowned slightly. At first, he thought Monica was standing up for Madrigal, but then he thought it was wrong. Monica hated Madrigal and Yale to the bone. How could she stand up for them? Monica was not such a person who liked to make trouble. What was wrong with her? Seeing Quarmy finish drinking, Monica smiled, "Rnd, propose a toast to Mr. Huo." Then, she poured wine into the goblet in front of Quarmy Monica didn''t think that she was a cruel person, and this night she didn''t feel that she was cruel at all. When she looked at Quarmy and Mary, she couldn''t help feeling sad in her heart. Mary was pregnant! She remembered that Quarmy came to her a few days ago and said that he wanted to make it up for her. Although she refused him at that time, she remembered every word he said. How could this man be so shameless! He said that he regretted and wanted to make it up for her, but he had a child with his lover? Looking at Quarmy''s care for Mary, her hatred grew. Looking at the goblet in front of Quarmy was filled with wine again by Monica, Mary''s eyes were filled with horror again. "He really has a stomach disease. He can''t drink anymore!" However, Monica ignores her. "Rnd, you''d better drink it first!" Although Rnd vaguely felt that something was wrong, he still drank it and showed Quarmy the bottom of his ss. Quarmy did not say anything but raised his ss to drink the wine. "Mr. Huo, you have a good capacity for liquor!" Next, Quarmy drank a few more with others, and then stopped drinking. After that, Quarmy''s face was still the same as usual. Someone sighed, "It''s said that Mr. Huo can''t drink. I didn''t expect that he''s so good at drinking!" Quarmy smiled faintly and said, "Everyone, excuse me." Looking at his staggering steps, Monica knew that he must have drunk too much and gone to the bathroom to vomit. It was her idea to let him drink, but when she saw him hurrying to the bathroom, she didn''t feel happy. Instead, her heart was in pain. Quarmy left, and others turned their eyes to Rnd and Monica. "The first good thing today is about Mr. Huo, and the second is about you guys. Now it''s your turn." Rnd was happy. "No problem. I''m happy today. I''ll apany you all the way to the end!" As soon as he said that, someone immediately pped his hands in agreement. Rnd was really in a good mood and good at drinking. He started topete with others for drinking. Monica nced at the door. Quarmy had note back yet. While she was thinking, Mary went out. Seeing that, Monica wasughing at herself in her heart. Even if he died of drunkenness, it had nothing to do with her. What was she worried about? Looking at Rnd who was drinking with others one by one, she reached out her hand to stop him. "You can''t drink anymore!" "I''m happy!" Rnd took the opportunity to hold her hand and looked at her with his beautiful eyes full of affection. "Moni, I''m happier than ever!" "Yes, Mr. Wang is happy. Sister-inw, don''t stop him!" "No, drinking like this will hurt his stomach." Monica insisted. Quarmy had hurt his stomach because of drinking. She didn''t want to see Rnd be another Quarmy. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. As expected, you only care about your man. Just now, you were so cruel to Mr. Huo. What a difference!" While speaking, Quarmy and Mary appeared at the door. Looking at Rnd''s hand and Monica''s, Quarmy''s pale face turned even paler. After a while, the banquet was over. Rnd held Monica''s waist and walked out of the hotel. "Moni, I''m very happy tonight." "What''s there to be happy about?" Monica snorted. "Rnd, I did it for you today. I won''t do it again!" "No! Why not? It''s great to be like this every day." Rnd was acting like a spoiled child. Monica smiled and said, "You always push your luck." Rnd was a little drunk. Monica sent him home and received a phone call from Summer on her way home. "Moni, I''m sick and I''m in the hospital. It''s so boring. Can youe and apany me?" "I''ll be right there," Monica asked the taxi driver to turn around and go to the hospital. Summer got bronchitis from a bad cold. When Monica arrived, she was on an I.V. drip and ying with her mobile phone. "Why are you still ying with your phone?" "Aren''t I bored? It''s good that you''re here." Summer put down her phone and began to chat with Monica. Then she mentioned Quarmy. "He can''t change his nature. He actually has a mistress again. I don''t know how Madrigal feels when she sees the news." Monica smiled and said, "There''s something more exciting. Quarmy''s mistress seems to be pregnant." She told Summer what had happened this night. Summerughed. "You nailed it. He must be lying in the hospital after drinking so much wine, right?" "More or less," Monica answered. Summer said that she was hungry. Monica went to buy her a midnight snack, only to see Mary in the hospital''s hall. When Mary saw Monica, she was stunned and then walked over with a smile. "Miss Mo, are you here to visit a patient?" Monica didn''t want to talk to her, so she nodded and left. Mary''s voice came from behind. "Quarmy drank too much and was also injected in the hospital. He is in the advanced ward on the 8th floor." Monica ignored her and strode away. She felt was a little strange when she walked outside. This Mary was really funny. What did it matter to her that Quarmy was hospitalized? She even told her the ward number. Did she think that she came to see Quarmy? Wait, why did she think that she came to see Quarmy? Did she know her rtionship with Quarmy? There were very few people who knew that in Jiang City. Since Quarmy was willing to tell this, she must be very important to him. She felt a little ufortable, so she endured the difort and went out to buy a midnight snack for Summer. After finishing her midnight snack, Summer chatted with her for a while. After that, Coco called her. "Mom, why haven''t youe back yet?" Summer smiled. "I almost forgot that there''s a little boy in your family. Well, I''m fine now. Go back and apany your son. Remember to send breakfast for me tomorrow morning." Monica agreed with a smile. The next morning, Monica went to the hospital with breakfast for Summer. Looking at the treme soup, Summer frowned and said, "I thought you would prepare a feast for me." "When you''re better, you can have a feast. This is good for your bronchitis." "Well, fine. But as you said, when I''m better, you must treat me with a big meal. I drooled when I thought of the spicy chicken you made." "Seriously?" Monica red at her. "When you are better, I''ll make it for you every day." "You can''t go back on your words." When they were talking, Monica''s cell phone rang. "Miss Mo, I am Mary. I have something to say to you." "Miss Tian, I''m not free now." Monica refused. "I saw you in the hospital. I''m also in the hospital." Mary said frankly, "Why don''t Ie to you?" "Don''t do that. Where are you?" "Who is it?" Seeing Monica hanging up the phone, Summer asked curiously. "Quarmy''s mistress." "What is she looking for you for?" "I don''t know. I''lle backter!" Monica went to the cafe that Mary said. Mary was sitting by the window, and her beautiful face was full of exhaustion. Monica walked over and asked, "Miss Tian, what can I do for you?" Mary looked up and there was hostility in her eyes. Monica was surprised. She and Mary had never had a grudge against each other. Why was she so hostile to herself? "Miss Mo, why did you treat Quarmy like this?" Monica''s face suddenly turned cold. "I don''t understand what you are talking about!" "Monica, Quarmy was sorry for you. He shouldn''t have had a child with others, but he didn''t want to do that. He did this for you and the family. Now he has regretted it. Why did you target him?" "Miss Tian, it''s okay for you to defend your lover, but what right do you have to me me?" Monica said without any mercy. "It''s really funny. A mistress came to me me. What right do you have to do that?" "Monica, I know I''m just an outsider. But why did you let Quarmy drink so much wine? You know that he has stomach problems. How can you be so cruel? Do you know that he had a stomach hemorrhage "Miss Tian, you must have made a mistake. He drank because you are pregnant. What does it have to do with me?" Monica''s heart sank, but there was a sneer on her face. "I hate the mistress the most in my life, so as a mistress, you should know your identity. Please stay away from me in the future. After all, we are not familiar with each other." "Monica, how can you do this?!" There was a fire on Mary''s eyes. "I tell you, I''m not a mistress!" "Don''t you know that Quarmy has a girlfriend and he''s going to get engaged soon? You''re carrying his child. If you are not a mistress, who else can you be?" "I''m not pregnant!" Mary exined. "I just have an alcohol allergy and can''t drink. Our rtionship is not what you think..." "Mary!" A voice suddenly sounded. Monica looked at Quarmy who stood there with a pale face. "Aren''t you on an I.V. drip? Why are you here?" Mary stood up immediately and walked to Quarmy with a worried look on her face. Quarmy did not answer but looked at Monica. "If Mary said something that she shouldn''t have said to you, I apologize to you on her behalf." He really doted on Mary. Monica felt a little sad. She sneered and said, "No need. Please take care of your woman, Mr. Huo. Don''t disturb others for no reason." "Okay!" Quarmy''s eyes darkened, but Monica had already got up and walked to the door. Seeing her walking away, Quarmy looked at Mary with a serious face and sharp eyes. "Who let you "I was angry. How could she misunderstand you like this?" Mary exined. Quarmy frowned, but he didn''t speak. He turned around and walked to the hospital. He was in a hurry and staggered. Mary immediately followed him to help him. When they returned to the ward, the doctor was a little anxious. "Where were you going? How could you pull out the needle on your own?" The doctor immediately helped Quarmy to retransfuse. Before he left, he ordered, "Don''t pull out the needle again." After the doctor left, Mary apologized timidly. "I didn''t mean it. She let you drink so much wine to hurt your body. I was so angry that I went to her." Quarmy looked at Mary coldly. "You can go now." "Don''t drive me away. I won''t make my own decision in the future!" Quarmy sneered, "I say, you can go now!" Mary''s eyes were full of tears. "I was wrong. Please forgive me for this time." Quarmy looked at her tearful face and frowned slightly. Finally, he agreed. "Fine. Stay out of my business. Just do what you have to do. Understand?" "Yes!" Mary wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I won''t disturb Monica again. But next time, you can''t drink so much wine because of anger. Your body is the most important. If you are sick, how can you get her back?" Quarmy slightly answered with his eyes closed. Last night, he saw Monica and Rnd flirting with each other in public. Although he had been reminding himself not to be jealous, he couldn''t control himself. The wine was to punish himself, so he drank it one by one. She just stood there and looked at him coldly, showing no intention of stopping him. In the end, he felt as ufortable as if there were a fire burning in his stomach. He couldn''t bear it and went to the bathroom. He vomited in the bathroom with great pain, but the pain in his heart didn''t decrease at all. Later, Mary came out to find him and helped him back. He saw that Monica was on Rnd''s side without caring about himself at all. He forced himself to hold on until the end so that he couldn''t hold on any longer after leaving the restaurant. Monica was really cruel! He never knew that she was such a cruel person! Thinking of how nice she used to be towards himself, his heart started to hurt again. He sighed deeply and said, "This is what I owe her. How painful she used to be, how painful I should be." Mary wiped her tears. "I think she was angry because she misunderstood our rtionship. That''s also why she let you drink so much. Why don''t we make it clear to her?" "No!" Quarmy shook his head. "I have to cancel the engagement with Madrigal first, and then I can go to find her." Jenny, who was about to open up the door of the ward, heard the conversation inside and became worried. She let go of the door handle and turned to the doctor''s office. Last night, Quarmy didn''t go home so Jenny was anxious. It took her a long time to know his whereabouts and she came to the hospital in a hurry. But she didn''t expect to hear the conversation between her son and Mary at the door. It turned out that the rtionship between them was made up. Everything Quarmy did was for that woman. She was very clear in her heart. Since her son liked acting, she would help him. Jenny went to the doctor''s office to inquire about Quarmy''s situation. It was said that his stomach was bleeding because of drinking too much. Based on the conversation she just heard, her hatred for Monica increased a little. It was time to teach her a lesson! Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Monica left the cafe. Her mind was in a mess along the way. Sometimes it was Mary''s question, and sometimes it was Quarmy''s look of defending Mary. Although she didn''t want to be sad, seeing Quarmy defending Mary, she still felt upset. Seeing that she came back with a bad look, Summer put down the mobile phone in her hand. "What happened?" Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Monica told her about Mary''s question. Summer gnashed her teeth in anger. "If I were there, I would have kicked her ass!" "Forget it. Let''s not talk about this anymore. To be angry with someone who doesn''t matter is to punish yourself. What do you want for lunch? I''ll make it for you." "Just go out and buy something, you don''t have to cook." Replied Summer. "No, you are a patient now. You''d better eat something healthier." Summer knew her temper, so she casually ordered several dishes. Monica called Xanjer and told him to buy vegetables first, and she would go home to cook immediately. Xanjer went to buy vegetables with Coco. On the way back, a car rushed over. Xanjer hurriedly avoided it. However, he still hit another car parked on the side of the road. Xanjer and Coco both fell to the ground, and the car on the road also gave out a harsh rm. Coco cried out in pain. Xanjer ignored the pain on his body and hurried to help Coco." Coco, are you hurt?" "My butt hurts, and my head hurts too." Coco replied. A man strode over, ignoring Xanjer and crying Coco. "Did you hit this car?" Xanjer''s heart sank when he saw the logo on the car. The price of this car was at least ten million yuan. What should he do? He said carefully, "I''m really sorry. I didn''t mean it. I hit your car because I was pushed here by another car..." The man said with a gloomy face, "Who saw it? You are really ridiculous. How can you lie? Even if you were forced to do it, you have to take responsibility." "But... Sir..." Xanjer knew very well how expensive the car''s repair price was. How could he afford it? Coco was still crying. Xanjer was trying to coax him. What could he do? When Monica came back, she saw Xanjer standing on the side of the road with Coco in his arms. Coco cried really loudly. She came over immediately. " Coco, don''t cry. Mommy''s here." Seeing Monica, Coco''s crying became much softer. He threw himself into her arms and touched his little ass with his hand. "Mom, I fell down with Great-uncle just now. My ass hurts." "Baby, don''t cry. Mom''s here!" Monica coaxed Coco softly. Coco stopped crying. Monica looked at Xanjer and said, "Uncle, are you okay?" "I''m fine." Xanjer replied. The man on the side was impatient. He said fiercely, "How do you want to deal with it?" Monica turned to look at the man. "What happened?" "Who are you to him?" The man sized Monica up. "He is my uncle." Monica answered. "He just hit my car. Look, what are you going to do?" "Moni." Xanjer looked ashamed. He was very clear about the value of this car. There was no domestic service on this car. Moreover, they couldn''t afford to repair it. "Don''t worry, Uncle. Let me think about it." Although Monica married Quarmy before and had been rich for a few years, she didn''t understand cars. So she pointed at the car and asked, "How much does it cost to repair it?" "Repair it?" The man seemed to have heard something funny. "Miss, there is no domestic service on this car. It can only be repaired at the foreign headquarters." "Then what should we do?" This made Monica realize how serious the matter was. She could finally understand how expensive the car was. "Pay me back!" The man sneered. "But we don''t have money." Monica bit her lip. "That''s all?" The man sneered, "I''m telling you, this is not that simple. ording to thew, if you can''t afford the cost of the transportation ident, you''ll be held criminally responsible. Your house will be mortgaged. If it''s not enough, you will go to jail." Monica''s face changed, and Xanjer felt sad silently. In the past, he often drove such a car to high-end ces, but he didn''t expect that one day he would be down to such a state. "Moni, it''s all my fault. Anyway, we don''t have money. Let me go to jail." "Let me think about it!" Monica rubbed her forehead and started thinking. Even if she sold the house, she would only have hundreds of thousands of yuan and they would be homeless. What''s worse, the money might not be enough for the repair fee. She was in a hurry, but the owner of the car began to be impatient. "If you can''t think of a way, let me call the police!" The man took out the phone and began to call the police. Monica and Xanjer stared at each other. When Coco heard that, he was scared and cried again. "Mom, I don''t want to go to the police station." "Don''t be afraid!" Although Monica said that, she was also very scared. She had never had to go to the police station in her life. What should she do? At this moment, a car stopped beside them. Rnd opened the door and walked down. "What''s going on?" "Uncle Wang, this person wants to call the police to arrest us. I''m scared." Coco saw Rnd as if he had seen a savior. "Don''t be afraid! Uncle Wang is here!" Rnd took Coco from Monica''s hands and patted him on the shoulder tofort him. He looked at Monica and asked, "What happened?" Monica told him about the car ident. Rnd looked at the luxury car and frowned. Then he looked at the man coldly and asked, "What''s your rtionship with William Lee?" "Who is William Lee? I don''t know him." The man answered impatiently. Rnd stared at the man for a while and asked, "Is this your car?" The man didn''t put Rnd in his eyes at all. When he came here, he knew that the people in front of him were poor, so he answered with arrogance, "If it''s not mine, it''s yours?" "What an arrogant fellow! I''ll make you regret it!" After saying this, Rnd took out the phone and called someone. He was talking in French, and Monica couldn''t understand him at all. However, Xanjer, who was standing aside, had been listening carefully. When Rnd hung up the phone, Xanjer also looked relieved. Rnd hung up the phone and immediately made another call. "Mark,e over immediately. I have something to deal with here." After telling Mark his location, he hung up the phone and looked at the man up and down. "You''re bold!" The man was aggressive at first, but he was a little scared by Rnd''s stare. He felt something was wrong and started to panic. But when he thought about what the person who sent him here said, he became bold again. "What do you want to do with this matter?" "Wait and see, someone is bringing money here." Rnd answered. After a while, a police car came over. Several policemen got out of the car. One of them saw Rnd and quickly came over. "Mr. Wang." "I suspect that this guy is a car thief. You can take him back for interrogation." Rnd said carelessly. The man was arrogant at first, but when he heard Rnd''s words, his face suddenly turned pale. A policeman came forward and said, "Pleasee with us." They went to the nearest police station. The police started to interrogate the man. "I didn''t steal the car. This car was borrowed by me." The man exined. "From whom?" Rnd sneered. The man was speechless for a moment. Rnd sneered and said, "This is my friend''s car. He is in France now. I just called him. He said he didn''t lend the car to anyone. So where did you borrow it from?" "I..." The man was dumbfounded. He had never dreamed that it would be like this. "Hurry up and interrogate him. He stole a luxury car worth tens of millions of yuan and made the car like this. Let him go to the prison." "I didn''t steal the car. This car was lent to me by my rtive. If you don''t believe me, you can ask him." The man softened. ording to the clues provided by him, the police notified his rtive . His rtive rushed to the police station and saw Rnd. He took the initiative to greet him. "Mr. Wang, why are you here?" Rnd sneered. So his rtive was his friend''s butler. "Did you lend him this car or did he steal it?" The butler looked upset. "He''s my nephew. He came to Jiang City a few days ago. When he saw the car, he wanted to enjoy it. I didn''t lend him the car. It was he who drove the car out while I was asleep. Mr. Wang, please forgive me this time." "He drove the car out without permission. Isn''t he just a car theft? Did you all hear it clearly?" Rnd asked the police with a sneer. The police nodded and said, "Yes!" "I have no right to forgive you, but William has. As for this car thief, the police will deal with him." Rnd sneered. Ignoring the butler''s request, he took Monica and the others out of the police station. On the way, Monica breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, you''re here. Otherwise, we wouldn''t know what to do today." "Remember to call me when you find yourself in trouble!" Rnd stared at Monica. "You can''t deal with it, why don''t you call me?" Monica smiled embarrassedly. "I was afraid that you were busy." "Your business is the most important thing for me. I''ll take time to deal with it even if I''m busy." Rnd looked meaningfully at Monica. Monica''s face turned hot and she quickly changed the topic. "The butler will be fired, won''t he? He doesn''t know anything about it. It''s pitiful for him to get fired for this matter!" "Stupid woman!" Rnd red at her. "How can you be so stupid? Have you forgotten how that man forced you just now?" "But it has nothing to do with the butler. I just think he is too innocent." "Innocent? Only a fool like you would think so." Rndughed coldly. "I tell you, he is not innocent at all. My friend is French. He''s usually out of the country. His houses and cars in Jiang City have always been taken care of by his butler. The butler didn''t treat himself as an outsider. He actually made a lot of money by renting several luxury cars of my friend. Recently, he went overboard and even used the luxury cars to do other business." "What business?" Monica was confused. "He used luxury cars to ckmail!" Rnd answered, "They specifically pick rich people to do it. They''ve done it several time in the past few months." "How did you know?" Monica was confused. "Because Queen has shares in these cars'' essory factory. It''s just that they''d been ckmailing the rich all the time. Why would theye to you this time?" Rnd was puzzled. "It''s probably a coincidence!" Xanjer replied. "I guess they were looking for rich people. Coincidentally, I appeared." That was the only usible exnation. Rnd nodded and looked at Monica with a smile. "I did you a favor today. Why don''t you buy me dinner?" When he mentioned it, Monica remembered that Summer was still waiting for her. "Crap, I have to send the food to Summer as soon as possible!" Jenny had thought about how to deal with Monica for a long time. She hadn''t considered Eva''s suggestion. She was also a mother so she didn''t want hurt a child. Then, Eva gave her another idea. Quarmy said that Monica got married because of her poor life after divorce, which showed that her situation must be very bad. Eva suggested Jenny to ckmail Monica by a luxury car. It would cost a lot to repair a luxury car, Monica certainly couldn''t afford it. When Monica was in a desperate situation, Jenny could help her solve it and ask her to leave. It would definitely work. Eva was Jenny''s ssmate and she had a good rtionship with Jenny. When Jenny was suffering from his father''s infidelity, Eva had been apanying her. Because of it, Jenny had always trusted her. After Eva came up with the idea of ckmailing Monica, Jenny agreed and asked her to arrange it. Although Eva was only a doctor, she knew all kinds of people in society. She soon found a man and told Jenny that the price was a bit high. Jenny didn''t care about money but she had been hesitating, "Is it really okay to do this?" Because of her hesitation, the matter had been dyed. However, when she saw her son in the hospital, she was very angry. She immediately called Eva and asked her to arrange this matter immediately. Eva agreed and said that she would do it immediately. She also asked Jenny to pay a deposit first. Jenny was very angry and paid the deposit. After paying the deposit, Jenny waited for the good news toe. However, she did not expect that Rnd woulde out and mess things up. The matter did not seed because of Rnd and the ckmailer was sent to prison. Fortunately, Evan and Jenny were safe. Jenny finally let out a sigh of relief. However, she still felt upset. Eva advised her not to be softhearted anymore. If she continued to do this, the consequences would be unimaginable. They had to use Monica''s child to deal with Monica. Jenny hesitated for a long time, but she couldn''t think of any other way, so she agreed. Coco was much taller and his clothes were shorter. Monica took him to the mall this weekend. After buying clothes for Coco, she remembered that her uncle''s clothes were very old. She went to the men''s clothing department again and prepared to buy clothes for Xanjer. She put Coco on the sofa and ordered him to sit there and rest. Then she went to pick clothes for Xanjer. When she turned around, she found Coco disappeared. Monica was shocked. She immediately threw down the clothes and ran out. "Coco! Coco!" She shouted anxiously. Monica still didn''t see Coco. She looked around anxiously. "Did you see my son?" She stopped someone and asked anxiously. The person shook his head, and she continued to look around. She couldn''t find Coco. Her face was full of horror, and her voice was full of crying. "Coco, where are you?" "What happened?" One hand grabbed Monica. Monica turned around and said, "Rnd... my son... my son... He... disappeared!" Monica seemed to have found a savior and tightly grasped Rnd. Her body could not help trembling. "Don''t worry!" Rnd hugged her trembling body andforted her softly. "We''ll find him. Don''t worry! I''ll help you find him!" He took Monica''s hand and ran quickly to the monitoring room of the shopping mall. "Get me the surveince of the men''s clothing department immediately!" Rnd ordered. The people in the monitoring room wanted to refuse, but under Rnd''s dignified gaze, they couldn''t refuse. The surveince was immediately checked. Monica saw a man with sunsses holding a toy to lure Coco. Coco curiously walked over. The man suddenly hugged Coco to cover his mouth and quickly left. Seeing all this, Monica''s face was full of tears. "What should I do? What should I do?" Seeing her tears, for the first time, Rnd felt heartache. "Don''t worry, I''ll find him! I''m here! Don''t worry!" He held Monica and looked at the security guards. "Ask your head toe here immediately!" He took out the phone, "Director Zhang, I''m Rnd. My son was abducted in the mall. Please help me find him immediately!" The man on the other end of the line quickly agreed. Rnd hung up the phone and made a phone call again. "Come here immediately. Coco is missing." This phone call made to Beck. The person in charge of the shopping mall came in a hurry. Seeing Rnd, he was shocked. "Mr. Wang, what happened?" "I lost my son. Inform the security guards and all the staff to look for him immediately! Hurry up." Then, Rnd asked the security guards to continue checking the surveince. It showed that the man entered a dead end with Coco in his arms. After that, he never appeared again. He held Monica and said, "You wait here for a while. I''ll go out and look for Coco!" "I don''t want to wait, I''m going to find my son!" Monica''s legs were shaking all the time, and the fear in her heart emerged. If she could not find Coco, what should she do? Her son! What should she do if her lovely, obedient, and sensible son disappeared? Seeing her look, Rnd sighed and said, "Fine,e with me!" Monica stumbled out of the room with Rnd''s help. The security guards and staff in the shopping mall had been mobilized to look for Coco. Rnd held Monica and walked to the dead end of the monitor under the guidance of a security guard. At the dead end, they found a piece of clothing. He lifted it and saw Coco sleeping soundly. Monica reached out and held Coco tightly in her arms. The feeling of having Coco back made her cry again. Rnd stretched out his hand to hold Monica and Coco in his arms. He gentlyforted her. "It''s fine, it''s fine now!" The shock almost made Monica lose her wits. She had been reluctant to let go of her son. Rnd frowned slightly. Why did the man want to take Coco away and even made him dizzy? "Did you offend anyone?" "No." Monica shook her head. Who could she offend? "How could it be so strange? If he''s a child''s traffickers, there''s no reason for him to throw Coco here." Rnd still couldn''t understand. Looking at Monica''s slightly trembling body, he said, "I''ll send you back first." Monica did not say anything and obediently left with the Rnd. Rnd reached out to take Coco from her hand, but she refused. Rnd sighed. This woman was really freaked out. Thinking of her helpless and pitiful look just now, his heart hurt a little. He didn''t insist. He reached out to help Monica out of the mall and got into the car. Monica hugged Coco who was still sleeping. Thinking of the terrible scene just now, she couldn''t help feeling fearful. She couldn''t imagine what she would do if she couldn''t find her son. She wouldn''t be able to live without Coco! Looking at Monica''s pale face, Rnd reached out and helped her to fasten the seat belt. "I''ll take you to the hospital!" Listening to his maic voice, Monica couldn''t help hugging him. "Rnd..." If it hadn''t been for him, she wouldn''t know what to do. Rnd held her tightly, "Moni, don''t be afraid, it''s all over!" Monica didn''t say anything, but she began to feel calm. When she was in a panic, it was Rnd who warmed her and gave her hope. Rnd drove Coco to the hospital. The doctor said Coco was fine, but Rnd insisted on letting Coco stay in the hospital. Coco had been sleeping. After waiting for a long time, he didn''t wake up. Rnd went to see the doctor again in a hurry. Monica sat quietly at the side and looked at her son. She could not help but lower her head and kiss Coco. Her phone rang. She picked it up and a familiar voice sounded. "Monica, remember this lesson. You won''t be so lucky next time!" "It''s you! You vicious old witch!" Monica gnashed her teeth and shouted. It turned out to be Jenny. She had never thought that it would be Jenny. "Drop dead! You will be punished!" For the first time, Monica swore someone angrily. Hearing her hoarse cursing, Jenny took the microphone away from a little. "Monica, this is just the beginning. If you still pester Quarmy, I will have more ruthless tactics to deal with you. At that time, your son will not only disappear for a while but forever." "How dare you! I''ll kill you!" "Monica, think about it. You are also a mother. You love your son, don''t I love my son? I don''t want my son to have any rtionship with you. Today is just a small lesson, understand?" "I''m going to sue you, you vicious woman!" "Do you have any evidence?" Jenny sneered. "Monica, you don''t have the strength to fight with me." "I don''t believe you can control the whole world with your own hands!" "I can''t, but I can cover the sky on your head." Jenny sneered. "Of course, if you don''t care about your son''s safety, you can go against me!" "Jenny, sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. You''ll get your retribution." "I''m not afraid of retribution. It''s worthwhile to do anything for my son''s happiness!" Jenny didn''t care. "Remember my words and don''t pester Quarmy again! Otherwise..." Jenny hung up the phone. Monica sat by the bed with her mobile phone in her hand. Jenny was not only threatening her but also telling the truth. Jenny could deal with her easily. She was not alone. She had a son, so she couldn''t go against Jenny. The door was pushed open. Rnd appeared at the door. Seeing Monica''s pale face, he thought she was worried about Coco. "Moni! I went to ask the doctor. He said that the drug of knockout powder was very strong. He will wake up after a while. Don''t worry." Monica forced a smile at him. "Thank you!" Rnd walked to Monica and sat down. Looking at her red and swollen eyes, he thought of her helpless look and trembling body just now. His heart beat faster. He had never seen Monica like this before. She had always been strong-minded. He reached out to hold her hand and sincerely asked, "Moni, let me take care of you and Coco, okay?" Monica looked at Rnd in a daze. When she was most helpless and hesitant, he gave herfort and strength. She, who had been helpless for so many years, really felt rxed in his arms. But would he be her harbor? He was handsome, rich, and talented with a good background. He was too good for her. Such a man was so far away for her. She was really afraid he would be another Quarmy. "I just want to give you and the child a home. Moni, try to ept me and love me, okay?" His voice was deep and maic. Monica looked up at Rnd in confusion. When she was almost desperate, he held her in his arms. It was his embrace that warmed her. "Rnd, are you serious? Will you always be good to me?" He nodded. "I will! I swear!" Tears welled up in Monica''s eyes. She reached out and covered Rnd''s mouth. "I don''t need you to swear, I don''t need an oath!" "Okay! I won''t swear. Time tells!" Rnd grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. Holding her soft body, he said to himself in his heart, "Monica, I used to be a yboy because I didn''t find the woman worthy of my love. Now that I''ve found you, I won''t let you go. No matter what will happen in the future, I won''t let go of your hand!" Monica, who was lying in his warm arms, also had mixed feelings. Although Rnd used to have so many girlfriends, she knew that he was a kind person. "Rnd, if you really like me, you must not let me down. From today on, my heart will be yours!" Quarmy sat in the car and stared at the smooth-line car in front of him. Monica in the car smiled like a flower and was talking to Rnd. Her smile stimted his nerves. In the past, he often saw Rnd sending her home, but he had never seen such a smile. What on earth happened? How could she be happy like this? "Moni, your smile is really beautiful. Remember to smile more in the future!" Rnd greedily stared at Monica''s beautiful face. This was the original Monica. What he wanted was such a woman. She was beautiful but not naive. Thinking that he could face such a beautiful smile every day in the future, Rnd was very happy. "That depends on your performance. If I''m not happy, how can I smile?" "I will make you happy." The car stopped downstairs, and Xanjer came out with Coco. "Mom!" Coco threw himself into Monica''s arms for a while and then rushed to Rnd. "Uncle Wang!" "Call me Dad" Rnd red at Coco. Seeing the smile on Monica''s face, Coco called out sweetly, "Dad!" "That''s my son!" Rnd raised Coco over his head. Coco giggled. "A little higher! A little higher!" Xanjer was also very happy. "Dinner is ready. Let''s have dinner first!" During the meal, Xanjer mentioned the kindergarten thing. "The teachers of the kindergarten came here today. They said that Coco was a bit younger and advised him to go to kindergarten next year." "Mom, I want to y with other children in kindergarten." Coco looked at Monica pitifully. Hearing this, Rnd looked at Monica and asked, "Is there an age limit?" "There is an age limit for the kindergarten in themunity. He has to be over three years old." Monica answered. "Why did you choose the kindergarten in themunity? Go to Bilingual kindergarten. The facilities and education there are good." Looking at Monica''s embarrassed look, he understood. "I''ll pay for it!" "I... I can''t use your money." Monica refused. "Hehe, you are so silly and lovely." Rnd stared at Monica. "Do we have to go Dutch after we get married? Let me tell you, from now on, everything I have belongs to you!" Monica''s face turned red all of a sudden. She couldn''t help looking into the eyes of Rnd. It was said that people''s eyes would show their thoughts. Rnd''s eyes looked iparably sincere, and she subconsciously lowered her head. However, her heart could no longer calm down. Coco fell asleep. Rnd hadn''t left yet. Monica put Coco on the bed and covered him with the quilt. A big hand wrapped around her waist and a gentle lips pressed against her neck. Monica''s body suddenly became stiff. Although he had kissed her, it was when he was drunk. They had never kissed when they were sober. Monica realized that except for the kiss of that man, she didn''t seem to befortable with any man''s intimate behavior toward her. She wanted to push Rnd away, but she didn''t put it into action. The man in front of her had the best family background and the most handsome appearance. He was good to her and her son, so she had no reason to refuse him. Because she didn''t refuse, Rnd slowly turned her body. His warm lips touched hers, and she was passively kissed by him... After a while, he let go of her lips and hugged her tightly. "Moni, I don''t want to leave today!" Monica''s face suddenly turned red. She knocked on his head. "I''m telling you. Don''t treat me like your ex-grilfriends!" "Listen to me!" Rnd grabbed her hand and stared at her with his beautiful eyes. "I don''t want to leave you anymore, do you understand? Monica, let''s get married!" "Get married?" "Yes! We can get married immediately. You move to my ce so that I can sleep with you in a justified way!" He smiled softly. "Heh!" Monica red at him. This was not that simple. Rnd''s marriage would not be decided by himself alone. "Let me think about it." She also gave him a chance to think about it. Rnd stretched out his hand on her red lips and said, "You bad woman!" She still did not believe him. He felt a little pain in his heart. How on earth could she believe him? Chapter 84 Chapter 84 It was not until eleven o''clock in the evening that Rnd reluctantly left Monica''s house. Seeing him start the car and leave, the other car under the shade of the tree also left. He couldn''t go on like this! It was too torturous to wait here every day and it couldn''t change anything. Quarmy had been thinking while driving. He has already told the Wang family about it. Why hadn''t they taken any measures yet? Did they really n to let Rnd marry a divorced woman with a child? Thinking about it, he shook his head. Although Rnd had a bad reputation, he had always been favored by Old Mr. Wang, who paid the most attention to the family background. It was impossible for Old Mr. Wang to let Rnd be with Monica. So what was wrong? Quarmy felt really strange. In the old house of the Wang family in America, Old Mr. Wang was lying on a chair in the garden and basking in the sun with his eyes closed. There were two iron balls in his hands. The butler came in a hurry and said, "Old Master, the Eldest Master is here!" "What is he doing here?" Old Mr. Wang snorted. "He said he was here for the Seventh Young Master." The Seventh Young Master was, of course, Rnd. Old Mr. Wang opened his eyes and smiled coldly. "Get him out of here!" As soon as he finished speaking, a man strode over. "Father!" "Didn''t I ask you to get out of here?" Old Mr. Wang was not in a good mood. "Father, don''t be angry. I have something to tell you. It''s about Rnd." The man had simr facial features as Rnd''s, but he looked more refined and mature. "Go ahead!" "Rnd has been a little crazytely. Fie even falls in love with his assistant. Father, you need to get him under control." "What''s there to be surprised about?" Old Mr. Wang snorted. "The most important thing is that this woman is divorced and she has a child." The man reminded. "What''s wrong with a divorced woman? She''s much better than a woman who seduces a married man!" Old Mr. Wang retorted. The man''s face suddenly turned red. "Father!" "I''ve said that I''m not your father. Since you abandoned your wife and son and had a rtionship with that disgusting woman, you''re no longer my son. Rnd also doesn''t want a shameless father like you!" "Father, I know that you''re mad at me, but you have to care about Rnd!" The man continued to persuade Old Mr. Wang with a red face. "I don''t care about Rnd? ve you ever cared about him for so many years? You only care about that b*tch. What do you want your son to do?" Old Mr. Wang sneered. "It''s your fault. Since you have abandoned him, don''t talk nonsense again. You don''t need to care about Rnd. It''s his freedom to be with anyone he likes, as long as she''s not a married woman!" "Father!" "Well, you can leave now!" Old Mr. Wang said with a cold face. Seeing that he didn''t want to leave, Old Mr. Wang became furious and shouted at the butler standing beside him, "What are you doing? Throw him out!" Seeing that Old Mr. Wang was furious, the butler had toe forward. "Sir, you may leave now. Don''t make things difficult for us!" Seeing this, the man had to leave unwillingly. After he left, Old Mr. Wang was still angry. "How dare this disobedient guy scolds Rnd? If he hadn''t done such a shameless thing, could Rnd have be like this? My good grandson has been corrupted by him." "Old Master, calm down!" The butler quicklyforted him. "It''s been so many years, and the Eldest Master knows he''s wrong. Please forgive him!" "Forgive him?" Old Mr. Wang sneered. "I wanted to forgive him, but what did he do? He had been in Jiang City, but he hasn''t stopped Rnd until now. If he really cares about Rnd, why didn''t he stop Rnd earlier?" "The Seventh Young Master hates the Eldest Master so much. He won''t listen to him." The butler exined. "Even so, he has to remind Rnd, instead of leaving him alone?" Old Mr. Wang was angry. "Others have deliberately hidden the news from me. They just want Rnd to marry a woman who has no help so that they can get rid of him. It''s really disappointing!" "Don''t think too much, Old Master. They didn''t tell you because they were afraid that you would worry." "Is that so? Haha!" Old Mr. Wang sneered. "It''s what they don''t tell me that really worries me." "Old Master, you''d better think about how to deal with the Seventh Young Master''s matter first!" "What do I do? Whatever!" Old Mr. Wang rubbed his eyebrows. "The more I try to stop Rnd, the less he''ll listen to me. Just leave him alone. She is just a beautiful divorced woman with a child. I don''t believe that she''s more attractive than those popr stars. Let''s observe for a while before we make a decision." The next day, when Rnd and Monica came back after lunch, they found that there was an uninvited guest in thepany. The man came in a hurry. Seeing his smiling face, Rnd''s face suddenly darkened. "What are you doing here?" "I''m here for you." "For me? Are you out of your mind?" Rnd sneered. Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, Monica made a cup of tea and left. The man''s appearance was simr to Rnd''s. She guessed that he must be an elder of Rnd''s. She was not sure whether he was Rnd''s father. There were only Rnd and his father Jim in the room. Jim looked at his son''s hostile eyes and said helplessly, "Rnd, today is your birthday. In the past, I was never there for your birthday. Today, I want to celebrate your birthday with you." "Hey, are you insane?" Rnd didn''t appreciate it at all. "Just as I said, if you have something to say, just say it. I don''t have the time to talk nonsense with you!" Jim smiled awkwardly and said, "I just came back from the United States. Your grandpa asked me to tell you something." "You''re not dreaming, are you?" Rndughed coldly, "Won''t you kick out of the Wang family? Did grandpa ask you to tell me something? Haha, it''s really funny!" Jim ignored his sarcasm and said, "He asked me to tell you that you couldn''t go too far. A divorced woman with a child is absolutely not allowed to enter our Wang family." Rnd raised his eyebrows and said, "Compared to someone who hooked up with a married woman, I don''t think being with a divorced woman is a big deal." Jim''s face turned red all of a sudden. After a while, he said, "Rnd, you don''t understand. Your mother and I don''t love each other..." "Do you love that married woman?" Rnd interrupted him, "Jim, do you know why I look down on you? If you really don''t like my mom, you can choose to divorce, but you didn''t. You hooked up with a married woman and coaxed my mom at the same time. You are the most disgusting and irresponsible man in the world." "Rnd, I''m sorry!" Jim looked ashamed. "You don''t have to apologize to me. We''ve broken our friendship since you abandoned us." Rnd looked at him sarcastically. "Please don''t show up in front of me again. Whether I fall in love with a divorced woman or marry her is none of your concern." Jim was shocked. "Rnd, are you serious?" "Do you think I''m joking?" Rnd sneered. "Rnd, listen to me. Don''t be impulsive. After all, I''m your father, I did it for you." "Father? Shit!" Rnd''s voice suddenly raised. "A man who only cares about his mistress deserves to be a father?" "I know you hate me, but no matter how much you hate me, you can''t make fun of your marriage!" "You really overestimated yourself. Do you deserve my hatred?" Rnd sneered. "Leave my office immediately and don''t dirty my ce!" "Rnd!" "Are you leaving or not? If not, I''ll ask the security guard to throw you out!" Seeing Rnd''s fierce eyes, Jim was a little timid. He had been less concerned about this son since he was a child. He had never been close to him. Since he had a mistress, his son had been ipatible with him. It seemed that it was really possible for Rnd to throw him out. After thinking for a while, he left reluctantly. After Jim left, Monica pushed open the door. Rnd was sitting on the chair with obvious anger. "Tell the receptionist not to let that person in again!" "What happened?" Monica looked at him worriedly. "Nothing." Rnd calmed down and looked at Monica for a long time before he replied. "He is my father, but I don''t want to be his son." Monica was stunned and was about to speak while Rnd got up and went to light a cigarette in front of the window. His handsome face was covered with restlessness. Every family had their own difficulties. Having been with Rnd for such a long time, Monica had never heard him mention his family. His father''s first appearance, however, was in this tense atmosphere. It was said that the world of the rich wasplicated. For some reason, Monica felt sorry for Rnd. Because of Jim, Rnd was in a bad mood all day long. Monica did not dare to disturb him but returned to her office. When she got off work, Beck carried a beautifully wrapped bag into her office. "Mr. Wang bought it for you. Go try it on." "Why did he buy clothes for me again?" "He has his reasons. You can try it on and let him have a look." Beck did not say anything. He turned around and went out of Monica''s office. Monica opened the exquisite package and found that it was an evening dress. It seemed that Rnd was going to a party tonight. There was a resting room in her office. She locked the door and went into the resting room to change into the evening After that, she entered Rnd''s office. His face was no longer as gloomy as it was at noon. Instead, he was talking to Beck with a smile. When they heard the door open, both of them looked at Monica at the same time, with amazement in their eyes. Rnd looked at her gently and said, "Yes, but you still need a piece of jewelry." As he spoke, he pulled open the drawer and took out a box. There was an exquisite diamond ne inside. He stood up and walked towards Monica. "Put it on and you''ll be perfect." "Be obedient. Put it on!" Before Monica could refuse, he said with a hint of pleading in his tone. "Don''t make me unhappy tonight." Monica''s heart softened. She did not refuse and allowed Rnd to help her put on the ne personally. After that, Rnd took a step back and nodded with satisfaction. "Beautiful! Beautiful!" In Beck''s car, Rnd and Monica sat in the back. Rnd had been closing his eyes to rest. Monica could not help but ask, "What is the event tonight?" "You''ll know when we arrive," Beck replied. "Why is it so mysterious?" Rnd opened his eyes and said, "There''s no party. It''s just that I''m happy and I invited them to dinner." At the same time, the car stopped outside a private club. Many luxury cars gathered at the door. Monica actually found a familiar car among them at a nce. Rnd also invited Quarmy? While thinking, she saw a tall figure. Mary, who was dressed in a pink dress, stood beside him. Her skin was originally white, with the pink dress, she looked even more beautiful. She and Quarmy looked like a perfect couple. Seeing Rnd and Monicaing over hand in hand, Quarmy''s eyes narrowed slightly. Rnd was wearing a ck suit without a tie. His shirt was slightly unbuttoned, revealing a silver chain around his neck. His hand was casually in his pocket. A slender hand passed through his arm. Monica was wearing a long purple dress. Her long skirt was dragged to the ground, and the thin diamonds on the skirt were shining brightly. Her long ck hair was scattered over her shoulders without any decoration. Her eyes were clear and bright, and her long eyebrows were curved. Her long eyshes were slightly trembling. Her white wless skin was faintly pink and her thin lips were as delicate as rose petals. She looked like a fairy who had descended to the human world. Quarmy couldn''t help but be lost in thought. Mary, who was beside him, eximed, "She''s so beautiful!" Monica lowered her eyes. She didn''t want to see them at all, but Mary took the initiative to greet her. "Miss Mo, you are so beautiful!" Her smile was very sincere. Monica smiled faintly. "You are also very beautiful." Rnd and Quarmy greeted each other for a while, and then they entered the club together. A group of people had already arrived, most of whom were familiar faces. When people saw the two couples held Monica''s waist tightly and whispered to her ear, "Dear, you are so beautiful tonight!" Who wouldn''t like to hear praises? Monica smiled shyly. "Really?" "Of course." The gloom on Rnd''s face disappeared. "Look at these guys'' lustful eyes!" He hugged Monica''s waist tightly as he spoke. "Why don''t I go back and change my clothes?" "No, I just want them to be jealous and hate me!" Seeing the shyness and happiness on Monica''s face, Quarmy''s eyes darkened. Rnd booked the club this night. There were a lot of people here. Rnd sat down with Monica. "I''m really happy tonight. I won''t say much. Let''s have fun!" "Mr. Wang, that''s awesome!" Everyone burst intoughter. Dinner was a buffet. The beautiful music rang. People chatted and drank together, or danced with the music. After chatting, Rnd took Monica''s hand to the buffet. He sat at the table casually but looked at Monica. "I know you''re hungry. Eat as much as you want. I''ll apany you." Monica red at him. "Sounds like I can''t live without food." But she was indeed hungry, so she didn''t hesitate to get food. She picked her food and sat next to Rnd to eat. Rnd suddenly felt hungry too. "I want to eat too." "No one is stopping you!" "Can''t you get some food for me?" "No." Monica bowed her head and continued to eat. Rnd was annoyed. He grabbed the te and tableware in her hand and said, "It''s mine now. Go and get yours." Monica gnashed her teeth. "Don''t eat mine. I''ll get food for you!" Quarmy had been watching Monica''s every move. When he saw this scene, he was really angered. So he walked over with Mary. "Would you mind if we sit here?" Rnd smirked. "I don''t mind. Mr. Huo, please!" At this moment, Monica came back with food. Rnd took the food from her hand and said, "It''s all my favorite. Thank you, my dear! Mua!" His sweet words almost made Monica throw the food on him. Quarmy''s eyes darkened. Mary stood up obediently and said, "Quarmy, I''ll get you something to eat." Mary soon came back with food. Monica nced at the food that Mary put in front of Quarmy. It was all his favorite. There was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. Quarmy''s lover really knew him well! Rnd obviously felt Quarmy''s hostility. Why did he have to sit beside him and Monica when there were so many seats in the hall? Mary sat down to eat. After a while, she looked up at Monica with a smile. "Miss Mo''s son is so cute!" Monica smiled faintly. Before she could say anything, Rnd immediately said. "You like children so much, why don''t you have a child for Mr. Huo?" "That''s right. Every man wants a child of his own. Miss Tian, you don''t have to worry about being abandoned anymore after you have a child!" Monica smiled, her eyes are full of sarcasm... Quarmy''s face suddenly darkened. Rnd also looked at Monica in confusion. Why was there something wrong with her tone? In doubt, Louis came over with his femalepanion. "Mr. Wang, today is your birthday. What gift does my sister-inw give you?" "Your birthday?" Monica was stunned and subconsciously looked at Rnd. Today was his birthday, but she did not prepare anything for him. She suddenly felt very guilty. She said that she would ept him, but she did not even know his birthday. She looked at Rnd guiltily and said, "I..." Rnd smiled at her gently and said, "You''re my best birthday gift!" "Oh, that''s so sweet. It seems someone is getting lucky tonight!" Louis smiled evilly, and the people around him were amused tough. "Dude, you are talking nonsense!" Rnd stared at Louis with a smile on his face. However, Louis did not let Monica go. "Sister-inw, is your gift for Mr. Wang yourself?" Monica''s face suddenly turned red. She knew that he was joking, but she was still not used to it. At this moment, many people gathered here. Someone said, "Mr. Wang is good at sex. Sister-inw, enjoy yourself tonight!" Monica felt so awkward. She subconsciously nced in the direction of Quarmy and met his eyes. He looked at Monica with sarcasm and disdain. Monica was angry and red back fiercely. Two dayster, it was the engagement day between him and Madrigal. He actually dared to bring Mary here. He was really disgusting. What right did he have to look at her with sarcasm? She sneered and suddenly stood up. "Rnd, I have a gift for you!" "What''s that?" Not only Rnd but also everyone looked at Monica. Monica smiled and slowly walked to the piano ced in the corner of the hall. She sat down next to the piano. Her slender fingers crossed the piano keys, and the beautiful piano music rang through the hall. When Quarmy heard the familiar song, the mocking smile on his mouth slowly disappeared. She could y the piano? They had been together for five years, but he didn''t know that she could y the piano! This song was popr. There was a beautiful legend in Greek mythology. A long time ago, there was a lonely king called Pygmalion. He carved a beautiful girl, looked at her every day, and eventually fell in love with her. He prayed to the gods, looking forward to the miracle of love. His sincerity and persistence touched the God of Love, Aphrodite, who gave the sculpture life. From then on, the lucky king lived with a beautiful girl happily. Monica yed this song at this time was naturally to express her love for Rnd. Quarmy''s eyes were as dark as ink! Rnd was not surprised that Monica could y the piano. She used to be Zoe''s daughter, so it was normal for her to learn the piano since she was a child. What surprised him was that Monica ys this song to him as a birthday gift. Did she fall in love with him? Rnd couldn''t help but stand up and came to Monica. He bent down and moved his long fingers on the piano key. The two had never cooperated before, but soon they cooperated perfectly! "They are ying the piano together! Oh my god! I didn''t expect that they had such a unique skill! How romantic will it be if they are together?" Louis opened his mouth exaggeratedly. When he saw Quarmy''s cold eyes, he suddenly shut up. As thest note was finished, Monica turned to look at Rnd. Rnd also stared at her affectionately. They looked at each other for a long time. Suddenly, Rnd picked her up and kissed her before she could react. The people around them gasped. Quarmy was sitting in his seat and watching this. When he saw the two people who were hugging each other, he suddenly stood up with a murderous look. It seemed that he was going to rush over. Mary quickly grabbed his hand. He turned around and stared at Mary with red eyes. Mary shook her head and her eyes were full of pleading. Looking at Mary''s pleading eyes, Quarmy finally didn''t go over. Instead, he threw off Mary''s hand and strode out. "Quarmy!" Mary chased after him on high heels. She ran to the door, only to see Quarmy''s car disappear in her sight like an arrow. Quarmy stepped on the elerator and the car sped off. The loud roar even shocked the pedestrians. Only a few secondster, the number on the panel on the dashboard went over the limit. "You are speeding. Please limit your speed!" The speed limit system in the car reminded Quarmy, but he did not notice it at all. He had been thinking about Monica and Rnd ying the piano together. They looked at each other affectionately and kissed each other as if there was no one around. His heart had fallen into an ice hole and he felt cold from the inside to the outside. Anger and despair filled his mind. He thought it was the end of the world! He found that he could not find any reason to live! At the same time, the shing sports car on the monitor screen of the traffic bureau in Jiang City made the traffic police in the monitoring room widen their eyes. "Does this man want to die? Stop him immediately!" After receiving the order, the traffic police went out to stop Quarmy. For a moment, sharp sirens rang out, and countless police cars started to chase after Quarmy. Quarmy''s heart was filled with anger and he had been stepping on the gas pedal desperately. He did not realize that he had be the target of the police until more and more police cars joined in chasing after him. It was not until countless sharp sirens covered the roar of the sports car that he realized something was wrong. He parked the car on the side of the road. The police surrounded him. When they saw that the driver was Quarmy, they could only smile bitterly and let him go without being punished. That should have been the end of this matter, but unexpectedly, because there were too many police cars, some onlookers used their mobile phones to record it and posted it on the Inte. Netizens immediately found out the identity of the driver, and the matter was immediately spread. Quarmy was not ordinary people. Netizens asked for the police to punish him. This matter caused a great sensation. After Zoe heard it, he was very angry and gave strict instructions about how to punish Quarmy. Quarmy was suspected of driving in a dangerous way on the public road. In addition, Zoe ordered to severely punish him. Therefore, he waswfully detained for 15 days and fined and had his driver''s license revoked. A fine and a suspended driver''s license was nothing to Quarmy, but detention was. Because of this, the stock of VSUS took a hit as a result, dropping for three consecutive days. Jenny was so angry that she almost fainted, but Quarmy was very indifferent. He let thepany''s public rtions team issue an apology statement, and then calmly entered the detention house. Monica soon knew about such a big thing. Rnd shook his head while reading the newspaper. "If it weren''t for his future father-inw, Quarmy would just have been fined and lost his license. Now, Zoe ordered Quarmy to be punished severely for the sake of his reputation. Quarmy is really miserable!" "That''s right." Beck continued, "His engagement with the mayor''s daughter was supposed to be held in these two days. Well, because of the detention, the engagement can''t be held as scheduled. Quarmy should be very angry!" "If you didn''t mention it, I would have forgotten that. It''s strange. He is about to get engaged, why did he suddenly go crazy?" Rnd frowned and said, "Does Quarmy not want to be engaged to Madrigal, so he did this deliberately?" "That''s possible. Isn''t he with Mary now? Maybe it''s Quarmy''s idea to avoid the engagement." Beck echoed. "Quarmy is really willing to sacrifice for Mary. He has lost billions of yuan in three days! Awesome! Really awesome!" Rnd sighed. "It seems that he loves his woman more than hispany." Monica felt a burst of sadness when she heard this. When Quarmy kicked her out of the house, he gave her nothing. Now he lost billions of dors for another woman. It could be imagined that Mary was really important to him. Thinking of Quarmy and Mary''s intimacy at the recent parties, she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart. She was now with Rnd, and Quarmy was a thing of the past. No matter what he did, it had N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. nothing to do with her. It was a great blow to Jenny that her son, who had been her pride since he was a child, was admitted into the police station. Because of this, her blood pressure rose and she was sent to the hospital. Lying in the hospital bed, Jenny let out a long sigh. It was not painful for her to lose so much money. What made her most distressed was the reputation of her son. His son''s reputation had beenpletely ruined this time, which made her heartache. If it weren''t for Zoe, Quarmy wouldn''t have been detained at all. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She picked up the phone and called Yale. "What was Mayor Jane thinking? Why didn''t he cover it up to help Quarmy? He even ordered to severely punish Quarmy. Doesn''t he know that Quarmy and Madrigal are about to get engaged? Well, now that Quarmy is in prison, the engagement can only be postponed!" Yale naturally knew that. She was much sadder than Jenny. However, when she heard Jenny''s other choice. With so many people looking at him, he has to take the lead!" "Take the lead to send his son-inw to prison?" Jenny sneered. "What''s in it for you that Quarmy''s in prison?" Yale was really angry but she had to exin in a gentle voice. Finally, Jenny hangs up the phone. Yale sat on the sofa to gasp. "Damn it! It''s your son who caused the trouble, but you asked me to apologize! Son of a b*tch!" When she was gasping, Madrigal''s crying came from upstairs. Listening to her daughter''s crying, Yale had to get up from the sofa and go upstairs. The engagement was postponed, Madrigal was the angriest one. The engagement ceremony she had been dreaming of was messed up by car racing. After she received a few calls from her best friends, she exploded with anger like a volcano. She was so angry that she grabbed the scissors to cut clothes. It was not until Yale pushed the door open and shouted at her that she stopped her crazy behavior. "Mom, why am I so unlucky? Why is God always punishing me?" "Madrigal, calm down!" "How can I calm down? After loving him for so many years, he married another woman. Finally, I was pregnant with his child and he divorced, but my unborn child died. Now he finally agrees to the engagement, there''s an ident again. Why? What did I do wrong?" Madrigal stared at Yale with blood-red eyes. She had loved Quarmy for so many years and her heart had always been on him, but he ignored her and married Monica. In order to get Quarmy, she ttered Jenny and tried every means to prevent Monica from being pregnant. Then, she persuaded Jenny to get Quarmy''s sperm and she managed to get pregnant. She was very happy. However, she had signs of miscarriage during the examination. The doctor said that the child might not be able to survive. Because of this, she and her mother did a lot to frame Monica for killing her child. After Monica was kicked out of the Huo family, she thought that Quarmy would be with her because of guilt and had waited for three years. Now Quarmy finally agreed to get engaged to her, something happened at the crucial moment. The order of severe punishment was said by her father. Now all the responsibilities were put on them. Jenny called and scolded her in the first ce. She felt very ufortable. She could only exin carefully, but she was really mad. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. "It shouldn''t be like this. Why did it be like this?" "What''s the point ofining? Will Quarmy love you?" Yale stared at her daughter. "You are useless. Why don''t you do something about it?. You only know how to cry. What''s wrong with you? I''m the one who''s worse off than you!" Watching her mother get angry, Madrigal didn''t say anything. Yale said ferociously, "Why would the simple car racing ident be magnified like this? Have you ever thought about it?" "Didn''t Dad order to punish him severely?" "Idiot! Is this your father''s fault?" Yale stretched out her hand and poked her daughter''s head. "Why don''t you think about it? With Quarmy''s ability, how could he tolerate such bad news?" "Mom, what do you mean? Do you mean that Quarmy deliberately let the media report it?" "What else could it be? I tell you, it''s easy for his public rtions team to suppress such negative news. Why didn''t he do it?" "Why?" Madrigal was stunned. "He doesn''t want to get engaged to you at all, so he let the news spread and let your father order to punish him. Only in this way can he stay out of this matter and push all the me to us." "But the price is too high, isn''t it?" Madrigal was unwilling to believe that. He lost a few billion yuan and his reputation was damaged. In addition, he was sent to prison. Was it what he wanted? "For Monica, he can do anything." Yale sneered. "The more he is like this, the more I won''t let him go. Let''s see who will be the winner!" Chapter 85 Chapter 85 Quarmy finally came out after 15 days of imprisonment. When he walked out of the detention house, he let out a long breath. In addition to Noah, Madrigal and Jenny were waiting for him outside. Seeing Quarmying out, Jenny came up to him. Noah lit up the brazier on the ground to let Quarmy walk over it. Madrigal took a bottle of water, asking Quarmy to wash his hands. They did it for Quarmy to get rid of the unluckiness. Quarmy did not say much and followed their instructions. He took off his coat and threw it into the car. After getting into the car, Jenny kept nagging that he should go home to take a bath, eat pork trotters, and stay at home for six days. Quarmy did not say a word. That woman''s figure had always been in his mind. What had she been doing in the past half month when he was in the detention house? Although the way to dy the engagement was not good, it was the best way for him. In fact, this method was also temporarily thought of by him. At that time, he was surrounded by so many policemen. He suddenly thought of the engagement ceremony with Madrigal soon, and then an idea came to his mind, so he ordered Noah to do so. He hoped that woman to understand him and break up with Rnd, but was it possible? Quarmy did not stay at home for six days as Jenny had said. After taking a shower at home, he hurriedly excused himself and left home. After he left, Madrigal, who had a smile on her face, felt really upset. Rnd''s sports car was as outstanding as himself. He drove all the way to the downstairs of Monica''s house. Monica had been waiting here for a long time and smiled sweetly at Rnd. Rnd opened the door and said, "Dear, please!" Monica got in the car. "What''s the matter?" "Secret!" Heughed. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. "Could it be another birthday like that day?" "You idiot, will you celebrate your birthday twice a year?" Rnd stared at her. "Well, if you have a lunar birthday and it''s a leap month..." "It''s not a leap month!" Rnd interrupted her. "What the heck is going on?" "You''ll knowter!" Quarmy''s car parked at the corner of the downstairs. When he saw the two leaving happily, he drove after them. Rnd''s car passed through the downtown area and stopped in front of a jewelry store. In Monica''s surprise, he took her hand and entered the jewelry store. "I haven''t slept well these days. I decided to buy a ring to hold you first, so that I won''t be afraid of you running away!" While he was talking, a man came over to let Monica pick a ring. Monica was dazzled by the huge shining diamonds. In the past, there used to be a man who often bought diamonds for her and said that he loved her. But in the end, he took back his love and those diamonds. Her heart ached a little when she thought of the past. "What do you think? Any good?" Rnd was waiting for her answer. "In fact, holding me doesn''t need such a valuable thing." Monica licked her lips. "I know. I just want to give it to you." Rnd replied. "But..." "Don''t hesitate. I know what you''re worried about. Don''t worry, that kind of thing won''t happen again." He took Monica''s hand. "It''s not a sudden whim. I thought it over after careful consideration. Moni, give me a chance to hold you forever!" Monica looked at his sincere face. She knew that he was telling the truth. He was generous to those women in the past, so naturally he would do what Quarmy had done. She did not refuse. Rnd took her hand and put a huge diamond ring on her hand. "It''s beautiful!" "It''s too expensive!" She didn''t know what to say. "It''s nothingpared to the one I want to give you the most." He held her hand. "Remember, from now on, you''re my only woman!" Quarmy sat in the car and looked at the two people who came out of the jewelry shop. A huge diamond ring on the woman''s left hand was shining with dazzling light. Even though the distance was so long, he still felt a piercing pain in his eyes. His hopeful heart sank into the abyss again. He should have thought of it. The piano music was still ringing in his ears. She hated him so much. How could it be changed because of him entering the detention house? He sat in the car in a daze and watched Rnd''s car disappear from his sight. Hey on the steering wheel feebly, as if he had lost all of his energy. Hearing the doorbell ringing, Mary opened the door and smiled surprisingly after seeing Quarmy. "You''re out?" Quarmy sat down speechlessly and stared at Mary''s beautiful face. Mary was a little embarrassed by his gaze. She had known Quarmy for three years. He saved her that night three years ago. She remembered the situation at that time. At that time, she was a graduate student in Jiang University. Her adoptive parents were all ill. The school and the hospital were asking her for money. She had to work several jobs at the same time. One of the jobs was to be a waiter in a high-end restaurant in Jiang City. When she served the dishes that day, she identally spilled the soup on a female guest and was given two ps by her. She also asked her to pay tens of thousands of yuan for her clothes. She pleaded in a pitiful low voice and almost knelt down. Quarmy came out to help her out. Later, he told her not to go to the restaurant again and paid her tuition fee. He even let her live in his house. She thought that he had fallen in love with her. She had always been arrogant and disdained to take advantage of others or be someone else''s lover. However, when Quarmy appeared in her life, her rules were broken. This man was so excellent that he was worthy of her love. She didn''t care even if she would be his lover. However, things did not develop as she expected. In the past three years, he came to her house every week, but he never spent the night here. Every time he came, he would lie on the sofa, watching her busy and smoking quietly. asionally, she would turn around and see his gaze at her. His gaze was so affectionate that her heart was pounding. "He must like me, right?" She thought. But why didn''t he do anything else to her? Why did he always leave quietly? Looking at his handsome face, Mary felt a little distressed. "Did you suffer a lot in there?" Quarmy shook his head. Mary asked, "What do you want to eat?" He looked away from her. "Give me a ss of wine." "You can''t drink." Mary didn''t move. "Let me talk to you. Can you tell me what you''re worried about?" He didn''t say anything, but his eyes were unquestionable. Mary had to turn around and get a bottle of low-proof wine. She opened the bottle and was about to pour the wine into the ss, but he reached out and snatched it from her hand. He raised his head to drink. He was handsome, and the way he drank was so handsome. Looking at him drinking, Mary couldn''t help swallowing. Quarmy was drinking without saying a word. Mary just stood aside and looked at him. She felt anxious. He had a bad stomach and he couldn''t drink. Finally, he put down the bottle and looked at Mary who was standing there in a daze. He smiled and said, "Why are you standing there? Sit down!" That smile made her feel warm. She sat beside him obediently. Quarmy looked at her beautiful face and smiling eyes. He knew very well he helped her not only because she was pitiful, but also because she had eyes simr to that woman''s. For the past three years, every time he wanted to see that the woman, he woulde here. Watching Mary busy in the kitchen, he would think of the short happy days in the past, and then all his unhappiness would disappear. "She no longer loves you. She has already epted another man''s ring. Since that is the case, why don''t you move on? Let it go, forget everything about her, and start a new life!" Quarmy sighed in his heart and waved to Mary who was nervous. "Get closer to me. Are you afraid that I will eat you?" Mary felt her heart beat faster. She got up and sat down beside him. The distance between them was so close that she could smell the wineing out of his mouth. He stared at her for a long time, and suddenly reached out to hold her in his arms. Mary''s heart throbbed and her mind went nk. She saw the handsome face she had been thinking about day and night get closer to her little by little. She had never kissed others before, but she knew what would happen next. She closed her eyes shyly, and the hot breath on her face made her itchy. She was looking forward what would happen next. Quarmy''s lips were slowly approaching her, but he stopped only a few centimeters away from her. He stared nkly at the young and beautiful face in front of him. "I can''t! I can''t do it!" After saying this inexplicable sentence, he let go of Mary and stood up. Mary opened her eyes and saw him disappear quickly. If it weren''t for the bottle in front of her, she really would think what had happened just now was a dream. Quarmy went out of the house and strode to the car downstairs. He rested his head on the steering wheel and scratched his hair. Why couldn''t he do that? Why didn''t he feel for any other women except for her? He had wanted to forget her and restart his life, but he failed again. He couldn''t even ept Mary, who looked a little like her. The car passed through the street with shining neon lights. The pedestrians were smiling, but Quarmy''s heart was depressed. Monica came out of the bathroom and heard her phone singing happily. She picked up the phone. The familiar number made her stunned. Why did he call her sote? After hesitating for a while, she tried her best to answer the phone calmly. "Hello!" Even Quarmy''s breathing was clear. After a while, he said, "Monica, I heard that you were going to marry Rnd?" "So what?" Monica asked simply. Quarmy listened to her indifferent voice and the pain in his heart spread out. He tried to keep himself calm to say what he wanted to say. "As your ex- husband, I just want to remind you that it''s impossible for you and Rnd to be together. Don''t be fooled by the illusion." "Mr. Huo, can you make it clear? What is an illusion?" "The Wang family won''t allow you and Rnd to be together." "You''ve already warned me about this." "Then do you know that Rnd has a fiancee?" Quarmy sneered. "You also know her fiancee. She''s Leon''s cousin, Mandy." His voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in Monica''s ears. She took the phone and forgot to speak. "Are you listening?" After a long time, Quarmy asked. Monica recovered from the shock just now. "Quarmy!" She was angry and she couldn''t hide the shock and trembling in her voice. "Why did you tell me this? Why?" "I just don''t want to see you be kept in the dark. I don''t want you to be fooled." Hearing her trembling voice, his heart ached. "Impossible! Rnd won''t lie to me! He has no reason to lie to me!" Monica shouted at the phone. "It must be you who deliberately made it up to cheat me. You don''t want me to be happy. You are really evil!" "Monica, why wouldn''t Rnd lie to you? Ask yourself, do you know him? Do you know his family?" Quarmy retorted, "He sweet-talked you into wearing his ring. Monica, you are the most stupid woman in the world!" "I know!" Monica felt there were tears in her eyes. She shouted at the phone, "If I were not stupid, I would not have been deceived by you. Quarmy, don''t try to destroy my happiness. Let me tell you, although I don''t know Rnd and his family, he''s sincere. I trust him!" "Sincere? If he is sincere, will he still be with you after knowing it''s impossible for him to marry you? Are you out of your mind?" Quarmy sneered. He could hear her crying voice. She didn''t shed a tear when she left him, but she cried for Rnd. How much love she had for Rnd? The pain in his heart spread, and his words were even more ruthless. "Aren''t you the one who hates the mistress the most? I just want to remind you not to be a mistress!" "Bastard!" Monica cursed angrily. "You are a bastard. You deliberately provoked me. What on earth do you want?" "I say, if you don''t believe me, you can ask him. Do you think it''s necessary for me to lie to you? Am I that bored?" Monica''s heart sank to the bottom as Quarmy hung up the phone. Quarmy was not such a bored person. He would not stimte her with a lie, so it must be true! It was totally possible that Mandy was Rnd''s fiancee because the Gu family and the Wang family were both rich and powerful. She sat weakly on the ground with tears. "Rnd, you said you wouldn''t lie to me. I have decided to let go of the past and start over with you. I have decided to give you my love. How could you give me such a big blow at this time!" Monica couldn''t sleep through the night. At 8 o''clock in the morning, Rnd appeared downstairs on time. She looked at him who stood beside the car and stared at her with a smile, and her heart was in a turmoil. He was noble, handsome and rich, but what about herself? She felt extremely bitter in her heart and got on the car silently. Rnd started the car and asked, "What''s wrong? Are you unhappy today?" "I want to ask you one thing. You have to answer me honestly." "What do you want to ask?" There was a smile on his face. "Do you have a fiancee?" "Who told you that?" Rnd asked. "It''s not important. Just answer me." "That''s true." Rnd sighed, and the smile on his face disappeared little by little. Monica''s heart became cold little by little. "Why did you lie to me? Is it fun?" Looking at her angry eyes, he held her hand and said, "Monica, listen to me. This is not what you think." Monica controlled herself and wanted to see how he would exin. "She''s not my fiancee. My grandpa and her parents have such an intention. You know, the rich and powerful will always have marriage for benefits. This is their wishful thinking, and I won''t listen to them!" "If that''s the case, why didn''t you tell me?" "This is just their idea. I have never admitted it, and I don''t think it will affect our rtionship. I didn''t mean to hide it from you." "But for me, it''s different. Rnd, do you really think about everything between us? I''m a divorced woman with a child, and I don''t have any help behind, but you''re so great. We''re not equal, do you understand?" "Monica, I have thought about everything between us. I love you. I want to marry you. I want to let you happy. Believe me!" "No! You must have never thought that love is a matter between two people, but marriage is not a matter of two families. I used to be too stupid. I thought that love could ovee everything. But after experiencing all this, I know it''s not like this. It''s not as long as you love me and you want to marry me that we can be together, do you understand?" "Monica, I know what you mean. When I said I wanted to marry you, it wasn''t a whim, it was a deliberate decision. I know there''s resistance to being with you, but I have already decided that I will deal with all the obstacles. As long as you love me!" "Rnd, you''d better think about it carefully. All the obstaclese from you, not me. Do you understand?" Monica sighed. Rnd mustn''t have thought what they would face if they were together, just like the past Quarmy. There were even more problems between she and Rnd. Quarmy was right. How could the Wang family ept a divorced woman with a child? "Monica, let''s find a ce to talk." Rnd started the car and soon arrived at his apartment. He invited Monica to sit down, then he poured two cups of tea and sat down. "I have been with you for a long time, and I have told you anything about myself. Today, I want to share with you my story. Let''s talk about my family first." Rnd began to tell his story. "My father and mother were in a business marriage. Just like the normal business marriage, my father has no feelings for my mother. He married her because of the pressure from his family. It wasn''t long after he got married that he started having affairs. It was very ridiculous. He did it not simply for fun, but for the so- called love. For his beloved woman, he abandoned his wife and me, but he never regretted it." Rnd sighed heavily. "Although I have a father, I have never felt his love. My mother has a husband, but she has never been loved by husband. When I was a child, my mother had been crying. Later, when I grew up, she was disheartened and devoted to praying. She even had the intention of leaving this world. Born in such a family, my personality was different from others. Because of the influence of my parents, I did not believe in love at all. Therefore, I became a yboy. If I had not met you, I might have continued to such a life." Monica looked at Rnd and felt a little sad. She lost her mother in her teens, andter she left her dad. She always thought she was the most pitiful one. However,pared with Rnd, she was lucky. At least in her childhood, she felt happy. Rnd might have no father''s love since he was born. No wonder he would be a yboy. "If I hadn''t met you, I would have married like my family told me to. I wouldn''t care about that woman''s appearance or whether she loves me because my marriage is just a mission. But after meeting you, I found that I can''t live like this anymore. I can live a happier life. About the fiancee, I have to tell you clearly that I have no affection for Mandy. I have always regarded her as a friend. The Gu family and the Wang family want us to get married, but I don''t. Even if I hadn''t met you, I wouldn''t have chosen her." Rnd was a little thirsty after saying so much. He picked up his teacup and drank water. "Monica, for you, I won''t ept the so-called marriage, nor will I yield to the so-called family pressure. I can work, and I have the ability to support my own family. Monica, as long as you love me and trust me, we can travel around the world hand in hand. We will definitely be happy." Rnd''s tone was so determined and his eyes were so sincere. Monica''s cold heart slowly began to warm up. She reached out to hold his hand and said, "Rnd, I believe in you!" A bright smile appeared on Rnd''s face. He stared at Monica for a while, then suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. "Monica, as long as you agree, I can marry you at any time." Monicay in his arms, happiness overflowing in her heart. Over the years, she had been running around with Coco. She had suffered a lot. It was not because she was strong, but because she could not find a reliable person. She had been thinking when she could give Coco a father. Now, there was finally a pair of hands holding her tightly. She really didn''t want to give up. "Rnd, I don''t need a vow, but I believe what you said. I hope you won''t let me down. I really can''t afford to be hurt!" In the evening, Ouarmy''s eyes darkened when he saw Monica and Rnd bid farewell downstairs. He had received reliable news that Mandy hade to Jiang City this morning. He knew very well that she came here for Monica. However, this silly woman did not notice and even ignored his warning. She was still being with Rnd. Thinking of the humiliation she might face, he frowned. Monica watched the car of Rnd leave and turned around with a smile, only to meet a pair of dark eyes. Her face suddenly darkened. "Ouarmy? What are you doing here?" "Can''t I be here to watch a show?" Ouarmy sneered. "Monica, you and Rnd really have a deep affection for each other. I just don''t know how many happy days you can have." "What do you mean?" "You don''t have a good memory, do you? Did you forget what I said to you a few days ago? Rnd has a fiancee." "Quarmy, you really make me sick. As a man, you like to sow discord like a woman. I won''t fall for your trap again!" "So you asked the Rnd about it? Did he deny it?" "There''s no such thing in the first ce. Why would he deny it?" Quarmy sneered and said, "Looks like my kindness actually made me the bad guy in your eyes." "Do you any kindness?" Monica sneered. "Well, you have too much prejudice against me. You won''t listen to anything I say right now, but I still want to remind you." Quarmy''s eyes darkened. "You know the Gu family well. Since Old Mrs. Gu was able to break up you and Leon, Mandy has the ability to deal with you, a woman with no backup. Let me tell you, Mandy is already in Jiang City. As her cousin''s ex-girlfriend, I think you should know how powerful she is. Take care of yourself!" After saying this, Quarmy turned around and left. Looking at his back, Monica felt anxious. Did Mandy reallye? In the presidential suite at the Hilton of Jiang City, Mandyfortably sat on the expensive sofa. A young woman was standing behind her and gently massaging her shoulders. The door was gently knocked. The woman stopped massaging and went to open the door. Two men in formal clothes entered the room. "Miss!" Mandy raised her head slightly and asked, "Did you find her?" "Yes!" "It''s toote today. Let''s invite her toe over and talk tomorrow!" The two men nodded and left respectfully. The young woman, who looked like a servant, walked behind Mandy and was about to massage her shoulders. However, Mandy waved her hand and said, "Did you inform Rnd of my arrival?" "Yes." "He''s getting more and more arrogant." Mandy sneered. It had been five or six hours since she arrived in Jiang City, but Rnd refused to show up. It was really annoying. The servant-like woman behind her became nervous after feeling her anger. In front of Old Mrs. Gu and Mr. Leon, Mandy had always been gentle and naughty, which made her likable. They thought that she was innocent and naive. However, she knew that Mandy was not such a person. She was moody and scheming. She was definitely not as simple as she seemed. Monica went downstairs in the morning and unexpectedly saw a car. Then, the car door was opened and two men in suits and tie walked up to her. "Are you Miss Monica?" "Who are you?" Monica asked. "We are Miss Gu''s bodyguards. Miss Gu invites you to have a talk." Mandy''s bodyguards! Quarmy was right. Mandy was here. Anyway, she had to face her. Therefore, Monica got on the car. Everyone in the Gu family was gentle and polite, so were the two bodyguards. They politely took Monica to the cafe of the hotel. Mandy sat by the window and was gently stirring the coffee in front of her with a spoon. When she heard the sound, she slowly looked up and showed a smile to Monica. "Long time no see! Monica!" "Long time no see, Miss Gu!" Monica sat down opposite her and looked at her calmly. The Gu family''s genes were originally very good. In the past, Monica knew that Mandy must be a great beauty when she grew up. In the end, Mandy didn''t let Monica down. Mandy was also observing Monica with a smile on her face. The past eight years didn''t change Monica a lot. She was as beautiful as she used to be. "Monica, you''re getting more and more beautiful!" Mandy sighed softly. Monica smiled faintly, and her tone was full of sarcasm. "You didn''t ask me here to praise me, did you?" "What would you like to drink?" She didn''t care about Monica''s sarcasm. "Miss Gu, please get straight to the point. I''m busy!" "You are still so straightforward. I like it very much! Monica, in fact, I really want to be friends with you, do you understand?" Mandy sighed softly. Monica didn''t say anything but just looked at her quietly. Seeing her indifferent face, Mandy had to be direct. "You should know the rtionship between me and Rnd, right?" "What''s your rtionship with Rnd?" Monica asked. "Don''t pretend to be confused. I don''t believe you''ve never heard of it. We''re about to get engaged!" "You''re not engaged, are you?" Mandy shook her head with a smile, and her voice became more and more gentle. "I know everything about you and Rnd. Rnd likes you. He used to like so many women, and obviously, you''re different. He has fallen in love with you." Mandy''s eyes slowly fell on Monica''s hand. "I know the ring on your hand was sent by Rnd. It shows that he really cares about you. In fact, if he didn''t give you this ring, I wouldn''t havee to you." Monica''s heart sank. Two days after Rnd gave her the ring, Mandy knew it. What did this mean? "I know you yed the piano with him on his birthday. I know that he will pick you up every day. I know very well what you have done..." Mandy smiled, picked up the cup and took an elegant sip of coffee, and then gently put it down. "You don''t have to be surprised. I did let people pay attention to Rnd''s every move, so you can''t hide anything from me." Monica''s heart suddenly turned cold. Mandy had been monitoring Rnd. Did Rnd know it? "Monica, I''m sorry for what happened between you and my brother. But I don''t regret it. I didn''t mean to look down on you. You are a very good person, but you are not suitable for living in a rich and powerful family." Mandy said eloquently, "The Wang family is veryplicated. There are hundreds of people. You can''t even deal with Quarmy''s mother, how can you deal with so many people?" "Miss Gu, you don''t need to care about this." Monica sneered. "Rnd and I grew up together. I knew I would marry him since I was young, so I always regarded him as my man. I have loved him for a whole 15 years. Except for him, I have never loved others. Do you understand?" Mandy''s voice was still very gentle. "I heard about you and Quarmy. I''m sure you know what it''s like to be robbed of a man you love by a mistress. So I beg you to think for me and return Rnd back to me!" Mandy was indeed a sharp-tongued person. She quickly described Monica as a mistress. However, Monica was no longer the woman she used to be. She sneered and said, "Miss Gu, you''re a sharp- tongued person, but don''t you think you''ve found the wrong person? You should tell Rnd about this and see if he''s willing to be with you." Mandy''s face was a little dark. Did Monica pretend to be unaware of what she meant? "Of course I will talk to Rnd. But before that, I think it is necessary to talk to you first. We grew up together. Even though he used to be a yboy, I always believe that he''s mine. I''m not you, I won''t let a mistress take my man away!" "Haha! You''re so arrogant! Miss Gu, I think you''ve made a mistake. You''re different from me." "What''s the difference?" "When Quarmy had an affair, I was her wife, so that woman was a mistress. However, you are even not Rnd''s girlfriend. You''re just a woman who has a crush on him. He is so handsome and rich that a lot of women want to be with him. Do you think I have time to deal with them one by one?" "You!" Mandy hadn''t expect Monica to say that, and her expression suddenly changed. "Monica, after so many years, you actually be good at arguing." "I still can''tpete with you." Monica sneered. "Monica, did you seduce Rnd because you hate me for letting you break up with my brother?" Mandy suddenly asked sharply. "Because you are not reconciled, and you have learned that I like Rnd, so you spared no effort to seduce him. You want to make me sad, is that right?" "You think too highly of yourself!" Monica sneered. "Mandy, I''m telling you, it''s not because you that I left Leon. It''s because I don''t love Leon at all. Otherwise, do you think I would leave him just because of you?" The disdain in Monica''s eyes made Mandy go mad. She could no longer pretend to be gentle and virtuous. "Monica, I warn you, don''t overestimate yourself!" "Miss Gu, what do you want to do? Let servants torture me like what you did?" Monica sneered. "How did you know?" Mandy was stunned. Back then, she had asked the servants of the Gu family to torture Monica. She had always felt that she had done this without anyone noticing. "I guessed it, but I didn''t expect you to admit it!" Monica sneered. "Miss Gu, don''t provoke me. If I go crazy, I will tell Leon what his gentle and virtuous sister has done. Then your good days wille to an end!" "He won''t believe you!" "Do you want to have a try?" Mandy bit her lip. Originally, she hade to Monica with great confidence and wanted to freak her out. However, she never dreamed that Monica had changed so much and herself was freaked out. Monica looked at her scornfully and stood up. "I have to go first. Miss Gu, take your time!" Just as Monica left the cafe, Mandy''s phone rang. She answered, "Grandpa." Old Mr. Wang''s voice came. "How''s it going? Have you settled it?" "It''s a little tricky!" "Juste back if you can''t settle it. Let Grandpa do this." "Grandpa, don''t worry. I will find a way." Before she left, she had already made a promise to Old Mr. Wang. She couldn''t leave Jiang City like this. "I know you have the ability to solve this problem, but you and Rnd have to live together in the future. You can''t annoy him because of this. Let me be the bad guy." After saying that, Old Mr. Wang hung up the phone. He picked up the file in front of him, which was just sent by the butler. His eyes were fixed on the photo. The woman in the photo looked like Monica. He frowned. How could it be such a coincidence? Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Monica went out of the coffee shop and received a phone call from Rnd. "Where are you?" "I went to see Summer." She lied. "Why didn''t you tell me? I made a trip in vain." Rnd''s voice was full ofints. "I''m sorry, I left in a hurry and forgot." She apologized, but Rnd did not care. "I''m going back to the Monica hung up the phone and got on the taxi. It was the peak time of work and there were a lot of cars on the road. She got stuck in traffic. Fortunately, her boss was Rnd, so she wouldn''t be scolded even if she waste. Thinking of Rnd, she had a sweet smile on her face. A familiar voice rang out. "How long is it going to take?" Monica turned to look over and found Eva. Eva used to be her attending physician. She''d been spending a lot of time with Eva to help with the infertility. At that time, she often appeared in Eva''s office. The patients thought she was Eva''s daughter because she looked like Eva. Monica also felt strange about it. She''d known Eva before and was not rted to her. However, Eva looked like her. To be exact, Eva looked like her mother. Because of this, she naturally felt a sense of closeness to Eva. She firmly believed in Eva and had never changed her doctor. Wasn''t Eva working in City A? Why did shee to Jiang City? Eva did not see Monica. She wasining to the man beside her. When Monica saw the man beside her clearly, she was shocked. Wasn''t he Rnd''s father? How could Rnd''s father be with Eva? Was Eva the woman who made Rnd''s father abandon his wife and son? It was possible. Eva was still charming at such an old age. When she was young, she must be a beautiful woman and had the ability to fascinate men. Monica''s closeness to Eva disappeared at this moment. She had never had a good impression of mistresses. When Monica arrived at thepany, Rnd was talking to Beck. Seeing hering in, they stopped talking. Beck got up and left. Rndined, "If you don''te, I''ll go out and look for you." "There was traffic jam on the road." Monica smiled. "Come here, I have something to tell you." Rnd waved his hand and said, "Mandy came to Jiang City yesterday. I guess she''lle to find you. If she wants to see you, you must remember to tell me." "It''s toote. She already came to me." Monica answered. "Didn''t you say that you went to see Summer? How dare you lie to me!" Rnd raised his eyebrows and was about to lose his temper. "I was afraid that you''d worry about me." She reached out to hold his hand, which calmed him down. He held her hand and asked, "What did she say?" "Do you really want to know?" She raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a faint smile. "She told me about your love story and asked me not to interfere with your childhood love." "Moni, I don''t love her at all. You must have a firm stand!" Rnd was a little anxious. "If I believed her, would I still be standing here talking to you?" Monica stared at him. Rnd smiled after thinking about it, but he still reminded her, "Don''t believe what others say. Everyone will lie to you except me. Got it?" Monica nodded. "I see! I am waiting for you to make me happy!" Recalling what she saw on her way, she couldn''t help asking, "Rnd, do you know Eva Xi?" "No." Rnd answered, but then he sneered and said, "I''ve heard of her. My dad abandoned my mom and I for her!" "Is it really her?" Monica was shocked. Quarmy frowned. Monica and Rnd were in love, but Mandy chose to go back without saying anything. It was not Mandy''s style to give up. What worried him the most was the change of Monica. In the past, she broke up with Leon as soon as Old Mrs. Gu showed up. Now, in front of Mandy, she didn''t give in or escape, and even let Mandy leave in disgrace. How could she have such a big change? Didn''t she hate yboys? Why did she have a crush on that yboy Rnd? Why? Quarmy frowned and he was in a mess. He knew clearly that Rnd was already important to her. He felt a sharp pain in his heart. For a moment, he didn''t know what to do. Should he just let her marry Rnd and stay with him forever? No! He couldn''t stand by and watch this happen. He must do something. Just as he was thinking, the door was pushed open. Noah came in and said, "Old Mr. Wang came to Jiang City!" Old Mr. Wang actually came here in person. Quarmy was d and worried. He was d that Old Mr. Wang finally couldn''t stand it anymore. But he was also worried that Old Mr. Wang would deal with Monica. Monica was a straightforward person with strong self-esteem. How could she be a match for Old Mr. Wang? Old Mr. Wang didn''t inform Rnd that he was in Jiang City. He came to an ordinary hotel in a low profile and called Monica that night. His voice was very kind. "I''m Rnd''s grandfather. Miss Mo, I''d like to see you. When are you free?" Monica was very surprised to receive his call. He came as soon as Mandy left. The Wang family really cared about Rnd''s marriage. She replied, "Anytime." "Since that''s the case, let''s meet now." Monica went to the tea room where Old Mr. Wang was. Two bodyguards stood at the door. When they saw Monica, they politely pushed the door open. "Miss Mo, please!" Monica entered the room and saw the old man sitting on the sofa. He looked like he was 60 years old, but she knew that he was over 70 years old. He had facial features simr to Rnd''s, but he didn''t seem as approachable as Rnd was. Instead, he looked indifferent. Hearing the voice, Old Mr. Wang looked up at Monica. He had seen her photo a long time ago, but at this moment, when he saw her in person, he was still surprised. No wonder his grandson would love Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. her. If she had not been divorced and had a bad background, she would have been worthy of his grandson. Monica nodded to him. There was a smile on his face, but there was not a trace of smile in his eyes. "Miss Mo, please sit down!" Monica sat opposite him. The waiter came in with tea and went out. Old Mr. Wang picked up the cup and took a sip. "Miss Mo, are you born and bred in Jiang City?" "Yes." Monica replied. "What''s the rtionship between you and Hannah?" "She''s my mother." Monica subconsciously looked at Old Mr. Wang. How did he know her mother''s name? "Oh! I wonder if Rnd has told you about our family." Old Mr. Wang''s voice was still so kind. "A bit." "Then you must know that he grew up without a father. What do you think of this, Miss Mo?" "I feel sorry for him." Monica did not know what he wanted to say. He must havee to her to separate her from Rnd. But why didn''t he say it directly? He wouldn''t mention other things for no reason. Monica became more careful. "That woman who made Rnd lose his father''s love is also born and bred in Jiang City. What''s weird is that her name is the same as your mother''s. I don''t know if it is a coincidence." Old Mr. Wang said it slowly. Monica was stunned. In her memory, her parents had always been in love, and her mother died when she was about ten years old. How could she possibly have a rtionship with Rnd''s dad? "Maybe it''s a coincidence." "I have a photo of Rnd''s father and that woman. Miss Mo, would you like to have a look?" Old Mr. Wang took out a photo from somewhere and put it on the table. The photo was a little yellow, obviously because it was old. Monica picked it up and took a look at it. Her face suddenly changed. "How is it possible?" The handsome man in the photo looked like Rnd, and she was sure that the woman in his arms was her mother. Seeing her face change greatly, Old Mr. Wang said unhurriedly, "Miss Mo, do you know this woman?" "Could this be a mistake?" Monica was confused. Rnd said that his dad''s mistress was a married woman. How could her mother have an affair with his father? But the photo in her hand was so clear. "No! Impossible! It must be a mistake!" In Monica''s memory, her mother loved her father so much. How could she have an affair with another man? Monica did not believe it. "This is all the truth. Rnd''s father left his wife and son because of your mother. Rnd was still young when he left. No matter what I did, he never changed his mind. Later, your mother died in a car ident, but he still refused to turn back." Old Mr. Wang sighed deeply. "It must be a mistake. It''s impossible for my mother to be a mistress!" Monica murmured to herself. She suddenly remembered that Rnd said his father was with Eva. "The one Rnd''s father likes is a woman who looks like my mother. Her name is Eva Xi. She is a doctor. I saw her and Rnd''s father a few days ago!" "Can''t you even recognize you mother? As for Eva you mentioned, she is indeed the mistress of Rnd''s father. But you know what? Rnd''s father stays with her because she looks like your mother." Monica couldn''t ept it. but the woman in the photo was indeed her mother. She and Rnd''s father were hugging each other intimately. Monica closed her eyes painfully. The person who Rnd hated most was her mother. How could this be? "Miss Mo, now do you see why I object to you being with Rnd ? It is not because you are a single mother, but because you are the daughter of the person whom he hates the most. Because your mother, Rnd has lost his father''s love since young. What will he think if he knows that?" Old Mr. Wang said it slowly, but his words were heart- chapter 86 wrenching. "Think about it carefully. If you think that you can still be with Rnd calmly, I won''t object. But one day, he''ll know the truth..." Monica tried her best not to lose herposure, but the huge impact still made her eyes full of tears. She didn''t want to cry in front of outsiders, so she stood up and nodded goodbye to Old Mr. Wang. Looking at her straight back, he finally had a trace of reluctance in his eyes. "Rnd, I''ve always been afraid of falling in love with you, because I''m afraid of losing myself and being disappointed again. But now, what reason do I have to ept your love calmly? "Sorry, Rnd, I can''t afford your love because I don''t deserve it! I don''t deserve it!" Monica felt unspeakable bitterness and pain. In fact, she couldn''t hold on any longer, but she still walked out with a trace of faith. Only she herself knew how difficult it was to maintain her calm pace. It was raining outside. The heavy rain drenched her and she felt really cold. This situation was very simr to that of three years ago. Three years ago, it was also a rainy night. She left alone from Quarmy''s luxury vi. The rain fell on her thin body. The wet clothes made her fell bone- chilling coldness. However, no matter how cold her body was, it was not as cold as her heart. In the past few years, she had never allowed herself to recall it. She had always thought she would never feel the pain again, but she still experienced it again only three yearster. She was exhausted, and her vision was blurred. She stepped on something. Then, she stumbled and fell into the muddy water. The heart-wrenching pain spread. She struggled to get up, but found that she had no strength at all. A man appeared beside her in the rain fog. He knew that Old Mr. Wang would give her a fatal blow, but he didn''t expect that she would be like this. He was familiar with her every move and expression, but he had never seen her losing her soul and being like a walking dead. Back then, when faced with the unfair divorce agreement, she stayed calm and signed her name, which had left a deep impression in Quarmy''s heart. In his dreams, he would ask himself why she could be so heartless. Was her heart made of iron? Seeing her be a walking dead for Rnd, Quarmy''s heart was broken, and blood was flowing out of it. Their five- year marriage actually couldn''t bepared with her few months of getting along with Rnd. Women were really heartless. Quarmy reached out and picked her up from the ground. "Monica, you asked for humiliation. You can''t me others!" Monica felt a sense of soberness when she heard the familiar voice. She suddenly grabbed Quarmy''s cor. "Quarmy, are you happy to see me like this?" With that said, she could no longer hold back her tears. Quarmy originally wanted to mock her, but when he saw her tears, he swallowed all the unpleasant words. He picked her up and strode to the car next to him. "Quarmy, let me go! I don''t want to take your car!" She struggled in his arms, waving her hands. She tried so hard that he felt the burning pain on his face, but he didn''t let go of her. She was put in the back seat of the car. He fastened her seat belt, locked the door and started the car. She scolded him crazily. He had never seen her being so crazy. His heart hurt, but he still felt a bit happy. Was it possible for her to be with Rnd after such a thing? The car rushed to the hospital. Monica kept cursing on the way. She found herself like a shrew, but she didn''t care because it was the only way to make her feel better. Quarmy pretended not to hear her curse. Finally, the car stopped at the door of the hospital. He strode into the hospital with Monica in his arms. Ignoring the surprised eyes of others, he took her into the doctor''s office. "She just fell down. Please check her out." Monica just grazed and bled a little. The doctor prescribed her some medicine. Quarmy took her out of the hospital. Surprising, there was no sound in the car. Monica leaned on the back of the chair and looked nkly ahead. Quarmy''s heart began to hurt again when he saw her absent-minded look. Finally, the car stopped. Monica opened the door. After a few steps, she looked back at Quarmy and said, "Knowing you is my biggest joke in my life. Quarmy, I beg you not to appear in my life again, okay?" Quarmy hit the steering wheel with his fist. The car turned around perfectly and disappeared in the mist of rain. Monica went downstairs calmly. Rnd stood by the car and looked at her with a smile. She felt bitter when she saw his bright smile. She walked towards him step by step, and she felt her feet were really heavy. It was a short walk, but she walked for a long time. Rnd opened the door, and she got in the car speechlessly. He looked at her with a smile, "Why didn''t you pick up my callst night?" "My phone was out of power." Monica answered. "Really? Do you know how tough I wasst night? I couldn''t fall asleep all of a sudden. I wanted to talk to someone, but I couldn''t get through when I called you, which made me sleepless all night. You have topensate me!" Monica turned her head suddenly and hugged him. She took the initiative to kiss him. Rnd was stunned. It was obvious that she was shocked by her initiative. After a long time, he reacted and began to kiss her back. Finally, the two separated. "If it was not daylight, I''d really do you!" Rnd gasped. Looking at his handsome face, Monica felt a great pain in her heart. She calmed down and slowly said, "Rnd, I''ve thought about it carefully. It''s not appropriate for us to be together, so let''s break up!" "What did you say?" Rnd widened his eyes. He almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. This woman just offered a kiss to him, and she offered to break up with him in an instant. It was said that women were capricious, but this kind of capricious thing was too fu*king incredible. "We''re not suitable for each other. Let''s break up!" Rnd''s expression turned cold all of a sudden. "Monica, are you kidding?" "I''m not. I''ve already thought about it. It''s better to end it now so we won''t suffer in the future." "Then why did you y the piano for me? Monica, I''m telling you, I''m not a pet. You can''t get rid of me!" "Rnd, let me go!" "Let you go? Am I a monster? Am I that scary?" Rnd stared at Monica. "I can''t convince myself to ept a man who used to have countless women. I think you are dirty!" "You!" Rnd gasped heavily. She said that he was dirty! He raised his fist. For a second, Monica thought he would punch her. She closed her eyes subconsciously, only to hear a bang. She opened her eyes and saw that his fist hit the ss. His hand was bleeding. She felt a pain in her heart and subconsciously reached out her hand. Rnd''s eyes shed. But the next second, she suddenly changed her movements. She quickly took off the ring from her finger and handed it to him. "Here''s your ring. From now on, we''re strangers. I''m resigning now." Monica tried her best to make her voice very cold, so that she could finish these words calmly. Only God knew how painful she was when she said it. She knew very well how good Rnd was to her. He helped her when she was in trouble, but she was destined not to be with him. "Monica! Did someone force you to leave me?" Rnd suddenly grabbed her shoulder, and the blood on his hand dripped on her shoulder. "Did Mandy call you again and threaten you?" "No, no one threatened me. I just don''t think we are suitable for each other. I can''t forgive your past!" Rnd''s face was full of pain. This woman thought that he was dirty. He knew very well how many ridiculous things he had done. She was not wrong! He dejectedly let go of her shoulder. Monica gave the ring to him. Without looking at it, he opened the window and threw it out. "Get out of the car!" A cold and ruthless voice sounded. Monica opened the car door. Before she could stand firm, the car sped away. Looking at the car disappearing from her sight, she burst into tears. "Rnd, I''m sorry! It''s me who doesn''t deserve you, it''s my fault! I''m sorry!" This afternoon a little hot. Mandy squinted and sat under the sun umbre in the garden. Just now, she went to the Wang family to visit Old Mr. Wang who just came back from Jiang City. He told her with certainty that there would be no Monica around Rnd. Old Mr. Wang was really awesome. He made Monica obediently leave Rnd. Thinking of Monica''s toughness that day, Mandy felt really happy. "Monica, you lost again!" A maid came in a hurry and shouted from a distance, "Miss! There''s a visitor!" Mandy red at the maid and asked, "Why are you yelling?" "It''s the Seventh Young Master." "Rnd?" Mandy was stunned. Then she saw a tall and straight figure appear in her sight. "Miss Gu, nice to meet you?" Rnd had a rare serious look on his face. "Why are you here?" Mandy reacted and immediately ordered the servants to serve tea. However, Rnd waved his hand and said, "I came here just to say a few words." He stared at Mandy with his dark eyes, which made her feel scared. "What do you want to say?" "First of all, congrattions, Miss Gu. You seeded in persuading Monica to break up with me." Rnd sat down and his eyes were as dark as ink. "Mandy, you''ve really awesome. I really admire you." "I..." Mandy felt wronged. "Do you think that I''ll be with you without Monica?" Rnd raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his tone was full of sarcasm. "Mandy, we''ve known each other for more than 20 years. Do you think I''m a pushover? If I liked you, would you have to wait so many years?" "Why don''t you like me?" "Why should I like you?" Rnd stared at her and said, "Mandy, you can only cheat those who like you. But as a person who doesn''t like you, I know what you did very clearly. To tell you the truth, if it weren''t for my friendship with Leon, I wouldn''t even look at you!" The sun was shining brightly and everything was fine just now. In the blink of an eye, snow and cold wind were everywhere. Rndpletely ignored Mandy''s pale face. He said, "I came here to tell you that I won''t marry you even without Monica!" After saying this, Rnd got up and left. Looking at his back, Mandy unconsciously clenched her hands. "Rnd, I will let you marry me! I will!" After breaking up with Rnd, Monica never went to hispany again. Rnd disappeared in her life. She had to continue her life and her top priority now was to find a job. She began to look for work everywhere. Soon, she found a clerical job in apany. Although the sry was not as high as before, it was enough for her to live. Her work was busy. When she was free, she would think of Rnd. She didn''t know how he was now. He must have hated her so much for being ungrateful. This was also good. With his character, if he hated her, he would not pester her anymore. But why was there so much reluctance and mncholy in the bottom of her heart? "Mom, why doesn''t Uncle Wange and y with me?" Coco didn''t see Rnd these days. He couldn''t help but ask. "Uncle Wang will nevere again." Monica replied. "Why? Is he busy?" "No." Monica did not know how to answer. "Mother, Uncle Wang doesn''t want us anymore, does he?" Monica didn''t say anything, and sadness appeared in her eyes. Coco saw the sadness in her eyes and reached out to hold her tightly. "Mom, don''t be sad. I won''t leave you. I will apany you forever!" "That''s my boy!" Tears glistened in Monica''s eyes as she held Coco tightly. Quarmy parked the car under the shade of the trees and looked up at the familiar window. He had already known that she had left Rnd''spany d to find another job. When he heard it, he felt very rxed for no reason. Without that annoying Rnd, she would not be so far away from him. During this time, he had been ustomed to driving here every night, quietly looking up at the window of the house where she was. It was not until it was dark inside that he turned the car around and went home. The light in the window finally went out. Quarmy put out the cigarette between his fingers, closed the window and was about leave. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise. Shards of ss and masonry hit the car, making crackling sounds. He suddenly looked up and saw a fire in the dark corridor. "Crap! There is an explosion!" His heart suddenly sink. The next second, he opened the door and rushed up. "Help!" Someone was rushing out of the corridor. Quarmy rushed inside but was grabbed by him. "Do you want to die? It''s so dangerous." Quarmy pushed him away without saying a word and hurried upstairs. In the corridor, he kept meeting people running down from above, but he didn''t see Monica and Xanjer. Screams and cries sounded so sharp in the dark night. Quarmy was really frightened. He had never been in such a panic before. He felt like he couldn''t breathe. "Monica! Monica!" He quickly rushed to the floor where Monica lived. Her door was closed. His mind was filled with bad ideas and he kicked the door hard. "Hurry up, it''s on fire, you won''t be able to escape soon!" A man reached out to pull Quarmy, but was pushed away by him. He kicked the door desperately and shouted loudly, "Monica! Monica!" Quarmy''s voice was trembling. He tried his best to kick the door. Misty smoke filled the corridor. He faintly heard the crying of a childing from the room. His heart was tightened again. He used all his strength to kick the poor. The door opened with a bang. The room was dark and there was a cry of a childing from the bedroom. Quarmy rushed into the bedroom. In the pervading smoke, he saw Coco sitting on the bed crying, but he couldn''t see Monica. His heart sank, and he immediately picked up Coco and rushed out of the door. Someone upstairs was running down. He put Coco into a man''s hand, turned around and rushed in again. Taking advantage of the fire outside, he saw Xanjer lying on the floor of the room with blood flowing from his forehead. He dragged Xanjer to the door and asked the people who were escaping from the upstairs desperately to take Xanjer downstairs. He rushed back into the room. "Monica! Moni!" He didn''t get any reply. There were only two rooms. Where would she be if she wasn''t in the rooms? The bathroom door was closed. Was she in the bathroom? He reached out to open the door but the door was locked from the inside. He knew that Monica must be inside. He kicked the door desperately. As the door was kicked open, he saw her lying in the bathtub. He rushed in and carried her, ready to rush out. However, at this moment, the fire had spread and the door had been blocked. The burning fire and the acrid smell of smoke made Quarmy hard to breathe. The outside had been blocked by the fire. It was impossible to escape, so he had to wait for help. He went back to the bathroom and closed the door. He quickly grabbed a towel to wet Monica''s face, and he also covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel. The shrill siren rang, and the fire trucks arrived. With firemen around, the fire outside was quickly suppressed. The bathroom was filled with thick smoke. A fireman opened the door and saved Monica and Quarmy. Quarmy coughed violently. He already felt suffocated. If the fireman hadn''t arrived in time, he didn''t know what would have happened. The gas explosion downstairs was too violent. Many windows and walls were exploded. The balcony of Monica''s house was blown into pieces. The violent explosion caused a big fire. Although the firemen arrived in time, if it were not for Quarmy, the smoke caused by the fire would have suffocated Monica''s family to death. Quarmy was very d that he was downstairs before. Monica was pushed out of the operating room after the first aid. Quarmy followed her closely into the ward. Coco was sent to the hospital by the neighbor. Seeing Monica lying unconscious on the bed, he went forward and shook her hand. "Mom, don''t sleep. I''m scared!" Quarmy went forward and hugged him tofort him. "Mom is very tired. She will be fine after a rest." Hearing that, Coco did not call Monica anymore. Instead, he held her hand and stood in front of her. Quarmy was a bit moved. This child was so young yet so sensible. His eyes were a little wet. He held Coco and Monica''s hand together in his hands. After a long time, Monica finally opened her eyes. "Mom! Mom is awake!" Coco was very surprised. Monica opened her eyes and saw Quarmy. She felt that her head was very painful and she had no strength. "Quarmy... you... why are you here?" "Moni, you''re awake! How do you feel?" Quarmy asked with concern. "I was so frightened before!" "What happened?" Monica found that she was not in her home. What was going on? She tried her best to recall and finally thought of something. She entered the bathroom and was ready to take a bath. Suddenly, she heard a loud noise, and then something flew in from the window and hit her head. Later, she went unconscious. "There was an explosion in the building where you lived." Quarmy exined. "Explosion?" Monica looked shocked. Seeing Coco by her side, she heaved a sigh of relief. She immediately thought of Xanjer. "Where''s my uncle?" "He was injured by a broken brick. He''s in the next ward. Don''t worry, he''s fine." "Quarmy, why are you here?" Monica asked again. "Mom, Uncle saved me." Coco said in a childish voice, "If it weren''t for him, I would have been burned to death. What a big fire." Monica looked at Quarmy in shock. He saved them? How could it be possible? The explosion injured five people in a total. The most serious one was a resident downstairs of Monica. He opened the door and turned on the light after he went home that night. He didn''t expect that the gas leaking would caused the explosion. He was thrown to the corridor by a huge impact and was seriously injured. The huge impact even destroyed the whole balcony upstairs. The next door was also cracked. The bricks and ss fragments were flying all over the sky. Except for Monica and Xanjer, the next door residents were also injured. The police investigated the scene and determined it to be an ident. The houses where the explosion took ce and Monica''s were no longer inhabitable. Because the man who caused the explosion didn''t buy insurance, he had to pay for all the damages alone. He was not the house owner but a poor renter, which meant that the medical pressure and house loss of Monica and others could not be effectivelypensated. Monica lost her house with getting anypensation. She needed to find another ce to live. She had a mortgage to pay and a house to rent. The most terrible thing was that she got fired for failing her probation because she was injured and couldn''t go to work. Monica leaned on the bed in a daze. The wounds on her body had not been healed yet, but she was about to fall into a new predicament. She suddenly felt a sense of despair. Why did God treat her like this? Summer took her hand and said, "Moni, don''t worry. Take care of yourself first. When you''re out of the hospital, you can move in with me. Take your time to find a job. I won''t let you suffer." Monica held Summer''s hand speechlessly. The only right thing she did in her life was probably to make friends with Summer. Summer wanted to ask for leave to take care of her, but she refused. "Summer, go to work. I can still take care of myself." Summer nodded. "I''lle to see you in the evening." She had been busy with a case recently. If this case went through, she would make arge sum of money. Monica was in trouble now. With money, everything would be easy. Chapter 87 Chapter 87 Zoe immediately knew about the explosion. He went to the hospital to visit the wounded in person. As the mayor, he naturally attracted arge number of reporters to follow him. Originally, he did it for the public, and he didn''t expect to see his daughter in the hospital. Seeing her head wrapped with gauze and her face pale, Zoe was very sad. He held Monica''s hand and asked, "Does it hurt? Take good care of yourself and tell me if you need anything. The government will do its best to help you." Seeing that there were reporters taking photos, Monica didn''t push his hand away. "Thank you, Mayor Jane." Zoe gave instructions to the doctors again that they must try their best to treat the injured patients, and then he left the hospital surrounded by a group of officials. On the way back, Zoe called Yale. "Clean up the house. Moni may move back in a few days." Yale was shocked and then she agreed without asking anything. After hanging up the phone, her face darkened. She got up and went into the bedroom. Closing the door, she called someone. "What happened?" "Didn''t you ask me to find a way to drive her out of Jiang City? I arranged an ident to blow up her house." The other party answered triumphantly. "Idiot! You can''t do anything but make trouble for me!" Yale was really angry. This ident would only get herself into trouble. No wonder Zoe ordered her to clean up the house. Without a house to live, Monica would definitely move back. It was not what she wanted! Madrigal came back when Yale was being angry. "Mom, I saw the news that Monica was injured in an explosion, and Dad went to the hospital tofort her. What''s going on?" "Didn''t you already know?!" Yale said with a gloomy face. She told Madrigal what Zoe said. Madrigal was anxious when she heard this. "If Monicaes back, Quarmy will definitely know my rtionship with her. In this way, Quarmy and I will be so over!" When Madrigal was in panic, her phone rang. After seeing the caller was Quarmy, she became more anxious. "Mom, it''s Quarmy. Why did he call me at this time? Did he know something?" "Don''t panic! Why are you scared now? What if you really find yourself in trouble?" Yale shouted at Madrigal. "Go and see what he is going to say. Remember to deal with it smartly. Now your dad is determined to let Monicae back, we should wait and see. I will find a way." When Madrigal entered the cafe, Quarmy had been waiting for a long time. She showed an apologetic look and said, "I''m sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road. I''mte." "It doesn''t matter. I just arrived." Quarmy''s voice was very gentle. Madrigal, who had been with Quarmy for three years, knew that he hated people beingte the most. He didn''t show any unpleasantness, which meant he wanted to do something bad to her. A bad feeling surged in her heart. "What do you want?" Quarmy asked her gently. "Blue Mountains coffee or Cappino?" She only liked Mocha. Every time she met Quarmy, she would order it. But until now, he still didn''t know C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. what she liked. Madrigal was very sad. "Mocha." Quarmy ordered Mocha for her and Blue Mountains Coffee for himself. Seeing that he had the same taste as Monica, Madrigal was really mad. But she still showed concern on her face. "Quarmy, you seem to have lost a lot of weight." "Really?" Quarmy smiled faintly. The waiter brought the coffee, Madrigal picked it up and took a sip. Quarmy didn''t move. When Madrigal put down the cup, he said, "Madrigal, I''m sorry, I can''t get engaged to you." She knew that something bad would happen, but she didn''t expect that he would say that. The reason why she framed Monica was that she wanted him to feel guilty for his whole life. As long as Quarmy felt sorry for her, she would have a chance. However, she didn''t expect that no matter how guilty he was, she couldn''t bepared with Monica in his heart. Madrigal was really sad, so the sadness on her face was real. "Have you made up your mind?" "Yes." Quarmy felt that he was a little cruel. This girl was innocent from the beginning. It was his mother who let her get involved in the rtionship between him and Monica. He always felt sorry for her, so he had tried his best to make up for her with money for the past three years. "I''m sorry, Madrigal, I can''t leave her alone." "I know. I know you love her. I don''t me you." Madrigal took a deep breath and let herself reveal a smile. "Will you marry her again?" "I''ll fight for it. After all, I''m sorry for her." "Then try your best to do it. She is a good person and is worthy of your love. Call me if you need my help." Quarmy didn''t expect Madrigal to be so understanding. He felt even more guilty. "If you need anything, you cane to me. I will never refuse." "I don''t need anything. I just wish you to be happy with Monica." After saying this, Madrigal covered her face and ran out of the cafe. Looking at her staggering figure, Quarmy sat in the cafe for a while and then got up to leave. After Madrigal left the cafe, she went straight home and said to Yale. "Mom, Quarmy broke up with me. He wants to be with Monica." "He actually broke up with you for that b*tch. This man is really heartless!" Yale scolded Quarmy fiercely. Damn it. Monica got lucky because of this ident, but she and her daughter got nothing, which made her feel more upset. "This b*tch is really lucky. She actually survived in such a big explosion!" Madrigal''s face was full of tears. "Mom, I don''t want to break up with Quarmy. You must think of a way for me. If Monica and Quarmy are together, I''ll die." "What are you panicking about? You''re so useless." Yale red at her daughter. "You''ve already admitted defeat before thest moment?" "What else can we do now?" "Let me think about it, let me think about it!" Yale was naturally anxious. She kept walking around in the room. After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a vicious idea formed in her mind. Monica leaned on the hospital bed with anxiety. What should she do? What should she do in the future? While she was thinking, the door of the ward was pushed open and Beck entered. Seeing Beck, Monica was a little surprised. She subconsciously looked behind him but didn''t see Rnd. She didn''t know whether she should be disappointed or relieved. Beck walked up to her and asked, "How do you feel?" "Not bad." "I have already told Mr. Wang about you. He went to the United States and will probablye back tomorrow. He asked me to tell you something." Beck paused for a moment. "You have signed the contract with him. If you don''t go back to work, you have to pay legal responsibilities and a huge penalty. He hopes you to think twice. You''d better go back to work at thepany. In addition, he knows that you''re having a bad time. You can have a vacation before going back to work." "I..." Monica did not know what to say. "Also, your break is an indefinite paid vacation. But after that, you must go back to work immediately, otherwise, he will me you!" Monica controlled hertears. "Is he okay?" "He''s fine. Don''t worry about him. Take care of yourself first. He''ll forget everything that happened in the past!" Beck said and took out a sum of money. "Here''s your vacation pay." "No! I can''t take it!" Monica refused. She was not a fool. How could she not understand what Rnd meant? "Take it. He wanted to give it to you. Don''t waste it!" "I won''t. Please tell Rnd that I will go back to work." Monica didn''t take the money in the end. In the parking lot of the hospital, Rnd sat in the car with an anxious look. When he saw Becking out, he opened the door and asked, "How is it going?" "Since you''re worried about her, why don''t you go visit her yourself?" Beck said on purpose. "I''m paying you for nothing?" Rnd stared at him. He was not a shameless person. He had selfesteem. How could he go visit her after she dumped him? "She''s fine and will be discharged from the hospital in two days. Also, she''ll go back to work after she leaves the hospital." Rnd had a smile on his face after hearing that. "That''s good." "Here you are. She didn''t ept it." Beck handed the money to Rnd. Seeing that, Rnd''s face darkened. "Why?" "I don''t know. She said that if I forced her to take it, she wouldn''t go to work." It was indeed what Monica would do. Rnd was so angry that he cursed her. This woman was fu*king stubborn, but he liked her stubbornness. Rnd''s face turned dark. "What did I say before?" "You said that if I made it, you''d give me double bonus." Beck replied. "Since you failed, your bonus is cut in halt." Beck was really wronged! However, the thought that he had got a bonus after all made him feel that he had not done it for nothing. His resentment disappeared immediately. When he started the car, Rnd suddenly asked casually, "Do you know why Quarmy saved them so coincidentally?" "I don''t know. But it''s all thanks to Quarmy this time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable." "Why don''t you investigate it?" Rnd said slowly, "I always feel that there''s something strange between him and Monica. Do they have an affair?" "Special assistant Mo isn''t that kind of person." Beck denied directly. Of course, Rnd knew it too. But what about Quarmy? He was not a good person. He was actually a yboy. Could it be that he was also interested in Monica? There was definitely such a possibility. He did not know the rtionship between Monica and Madrigal. Maybe he was attracted by Monica''s appearance. Thinking of the way Quarmy looked at Monica before, Rnd frowned. He had to think of a perfect way to prevent Quarmy from taking advantage of Monica. While Rnd was thinking, Beck suddenly said, "By the way, Mr. Wang, Monica has no home to live now." "I know." Rnd was a little impatient after his thoughts were interrupted. He closed his eyes and pondered for a while before saying, "Buy a house and rent it to her. Don''t let her know it." "Mr. Wang, what are you doing here? At this time, you should take the initiative to take care of her to show your tolerance. Only in this way can you win her back." Beck was really puzzled. "What do you know?" Rnd stared at him. Monica was not an ordinary woman. If he had been able to get her with money, would he have been bothered like this? Thinking of those heartless words she said to him that day, he felt a pain in his heart. He was really useless. He still couldn''t move on! The ward became quiet after Beck left. Monica leaned on the bed and felt restless. She had never dreamed that Rnd would still be willing to help her. She had said such cruel words to him that day. Was he not angry at all? Or he had already moved on? The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. After a long time, the door was pushed open. Quarmy came in with Coco in his arms. "Mom, I went to have dinner with Uncle just now. It is very delicious. I have eaten a lot. Uncle also brought you and Great-uncle some food." Coco''s face was flushed because of happiness. Ouarmy put him on the ground and put the bag in his hand on the table next to Monica. He opened the bag and took out the food for Monica. But Monica refused him. "No, thanks, Mr. Huo. There''s a meal for the sick in the hospital." "It''s not as good as the food I brought." Quarmy didn''t care about her attitude. "These are your favorites. Have a try." Monica really wanted to get angry. Coco came up to her and said, "Mom, can I feed you?" Looking at Coco''s smiling face, Monica suppressed her anger and said, "I can eat it myself." "Mom, hurry up. If you eat it, you will be better, and we can go home." Monica looked at her son''s innocent eyes and thought of the predicament she would face after leaving the hospital. She sighed. She looked up and saw Quarmy looking at her. She asked coldly. "Aren''t you busy?" Coco, who was standing aside, said, "Mom, Uncle said that both you and Great-uncle were injured, so he stayed to take care of us." "He has his own business, and I can take care of myself." Monica looked at her son. "Do what you can do by yourself. Don''t bother someone else, understand?" "Uncle is not someone else. He is a good person." "Coco!" Monica raised her voice, and Coco bit his lower lip with grievance. Quarmy immediately picked up the food on the table. "I''ll go to visit uncle next door." "I''ll go with you!" Seeing Coco and Quarmy leave together, Monica sighed heavily. "Why does my son like Quarmy so much? Is it really because they''re rted by blood?" Quarmy went to visit Xnajer, but was also treated coldly. Xanjer was very direct. "Thank you, Mr. Huo, for saving my family. We will remember it and repay you in the future. But now we don''t want to see you!" Quarmy''s face darkened, but he couldn''t find a reason to vent his anger. Coco didn''t understand what they were talking about. "Great-uncle, why did you say that? I am very happy to see him." "Did you forget what Mom said?" Xanjer reminded Coco. "I remember Mom asked me not to talk to strangers." Coco lowered his head. Seeing that he was already a stranger to them, Quarmy''s eyes darkened, but he couldn''t do anything. Quarmy didn''t leave the hospital because of Monica and Xanjer''s coldness. The matter of Quarmy saving Monica''s family was quickly told to Jenny by Eva. Hearing that Quarmy rushed into the fire scene to save Monica regardless of his own safety, Jenny was shocked. Last time, he was sent to the hospital for Monica. Jenny felt that Monica was really a disaster. If things went on like this, she would definitely kill Quarmy. Jenny thought she had to get Monica out of Jiang City as soon as possible! Eva said that Monica had no house or job. It was the best time for her to get rid of her with money. Jenny also felt that it was an opportunity, so she called Monica. "Madam Huo? What''s the matter?" Hearing Jenny''s voice, Monica felt ufortable, and her tone was also very cold. "Well, I just saw the news and knew that something happened to you. I''m very sympathetic to you." Jenny actually called her to show her sympathy. What a surprise! Shouldn''t Jenny by the happiest person after knowing her ident? Monica did not speak and wanted to hear what Jenny would say next. "Monica, I know you''re having a hard time now. You don''t have a house or a job. It must be very hard for you to support your family. I decided to help you." "How can you be so kind?" "Monica, after all, you used to be my daughter-inw. I don''t want to see you like this. I''m not born to be cruel. It''s just we have different opinion. For the sake of both of us being mothers, please give me what I want. If you''re willing to leave Jiang City, I''ll give you a lot of money. With that, you don''t have to work so hard. Your son can get the best education. Please think about it." "Jenny Sun, Jiang City is my home and where I grew up! Why should I leave my hometown? Why don''t you and your sone back to City A? Since you are so worried about your son, why don''t you get out of here with him? Don''t force me again!" Monica yelled at the phone. "I tell you, I will stay in Jiang City no matter what happens. I will never leave!" After that, she hung up the phone, but she was still angry. How could Jenny be so shameless? In the evening, Summer came to visit Monica. Monica told her what Jenny said. Summer was also very angry. Why was this old witch everywhere? "Moni, you should agree to her conditions and take her money. Anyway, you didn''t entangle her son. They owe you, right?" "I know, but I don''t want to have anything to do with them at all." "You''re too stubborn!" Summer sighed. The whole night was silent. The next morning, Monica felt better and was ready to leave the hospital, but the doctor didn''t let her go. Based on what a city leader said, she couldn''t leave the hospital until she was fully recovered. Monica knew this must be Zoe''s idea, so she had to go back to the ward. After a while, the door of the ward was pushed open. Quarmy came in with a thermos bottle. "Do you feel better today?" Monica didn''t say anything but just looked at him coldly. He didn''t mind it and opened the thermos bottle to pour out the soup inside. He took it to Monica and said, "Come on!" "Can you stop appearing in front of me?" Monica did not take the soup. "I can. I''ll leave after you drink it." He handed the soup to her with persistence. She drank it up. "Okay, you can leave now." Quarmy didn''t leave, but slowly packed up. He said, "Don''t worry about the house. I''ve already arranged a house for you. You can move to it after you leave the hospital. As for your job..." "Quarmy, I don''t need your mercy!" Monica interrupted him. She thought of the call from Jenny and felt angrier. "Quarmy, why did youe to Jiang City? Why do you have to force me? You want me to die?" "Monica, I didn''t force you. I just want to help you!" Quarmy looked at her with distress. "Get out!" Monica pointed to the door. Her life had changed since she met this man. If she hadn''t met him, she would have found a stable job after graduation and lived an ordinary and fulfilling life. She would not have experienced so much pain, suffering, and humiliation. "Quarmy, get out of here. I don''t want to see you again in my life!" Quarmy frowned slightly, and his eyes were full of emotions. Finally, he sighed in a low voice and said, "Okay, I''ll go out." She was injured. At this moment, she was vulnerable. No matter how vicious he was, he would not provoke her. Standing at the corner of the corridor, he lit a cigarette. He tried his best to move thepany''s operation center from City A to Jiang City. What was his purpose? Jiang City was her hometown. He believed that she woulde back one day. Now she was back, but everything was out of his control. They were just like strangers. She hated him so much. How could he change all of this? He threw away the cigarette butt and turned around irritably, only to see a man in the corridor. Zoe? Seeing Zoeing in, Monica looked alert. "What are you doing here?" "Moni, my child, you have suffered!" Zoe reached out to hold her hand, but was dodged. He took back his hand dejectedly and said, "Moni, I''m sorry!" "Mayor Jane, what the point of apologizing?" Monica stared at him. One of the people she hated most in the world was Quarmy, and the other was Zoe. "Mayor Jane, you''d better stay away from me. You are now in the prime of your career. If anyone knows that you had an affair with a mistress, you know what will happen." "Moni, I was wrong. I didn''t cheat on your mom. I never thought about betraying her. Yale is your mother''s friend. I was drunk when I was on a business trip, and I met her..." Zoe tore his hair painfully. "I have always felt guilty for your mother. I didn''t expect that Yale would give birth to my child. After your mother passed away, she came to me with her child. At that time, someone was reporting me. I thought that she had been very poor with Madrigal these years. In order to make it up for her, I..." Zoe did not dare to look at his daughter, so he told her what happened before intermittently. Monica looked at him with disdain and said, "Do you mean that you have no feelings with Yale? You married her because you were afraid of being reported?" Zoe blushed. Monica hit the nail on the head. She sneered. "You said you loved your wife, but I didn''t see it at all. Since what happened at that time was beyond your control, why didn''t you exin it to her? Instead, you chose to hide it from her. If you told her all this, she wouldn''t leave with sadness after knowing the truth and had a car ident. If you really loved your wife so much, you wouldn''t have married a mistress! Mayor Jane, in your heart, you always have more power than everything else. Your wife are your daughter are nothingpared to it." "Moni, please forgive me. I''m a coward. I know I''m wrong. I won''t leave you alone. I''ve asked Yale to clean up your room. Please move back immediately and let me take care of you. I won''t let you get hurt again!" "Mayor Jane, you have to think about it. If someone reports you again, what should you do?" "I''ve thought it over. Moni, you don''t have to worry about me. It won''t have any effect." "Since you have already found an excuse for yourself." Monica sneered. No wonder Zoe woulde to her and ask her to move back. It seemed that he had already had a perfect n. He wasn''t afraid of being reported at all. She felt very sad. This was her father, her mother''s beloved man. There was no kinship in his heart. He would always put power in the first ce. "Mayor Jane, I won''t move back, unless you let that b*tch and her daughter move away!" "Moni!" "There''s no need to say anything. I won''t move back. Off you go!" Zoe sighed heavily, got up and left the ward. After that, Quarmy appeared again. Monica didn''t expect that he was still here. She was shocked. "Why are you here again?" "Monica, what''s your rtionship with Zoe?" Quarmy stared at Monica. "Rtionship?" Monica sneered. Since Quarmy didn''t leave, he must have heard something. She didn''t want to hide it anymore. "He''s my dad. Are you satisfied with this answer, Mr. Huo?" "He''s your dad?" Quarmy''s guess was finally confirmed. He should have thought of it earlier. The photo in Zoe''s study was not Monica, but her mother. "How could this be?" "Are you surprised?" Monica sneered. "Zoe cheated on my mom and had an illegitimate daughter. My mom had a car ident after knowing that. Later, Zoe began to live with his mistress and their daughter. That''s it." "Why didn''t you tell me the truth?" "Why should I tell you?" Monica stared at Quarmy with sarcasm. "You mean if I told you that I had such a powerful father, your mother would have treated me differently? I would have helped your career, and you wouldn''t have cheated?" "Monica, have you ever loved me a little bit?" If she had told him her identity, his mother would not have done that to her. Their marriage would not have been stopped and they''d have been happy. But she had been hiding her identity from him. As his dear wife, she had a secret. He felt very sad. How could he still ask her that? If she hadn''t loved him, would she have married him? Would she have endured his mother''s vicious humiliation for five years? Monica really wanted tough. Did he have the right to ask that? Since he betrayed her and let the woman she hated most carry his child, she had been desperate. This man didn''t deserve her love at all! "Quarmy! I have never loved you at all!" Hearing her cold and ruthless words, Quarmy went mad. He raised his fist to her. Looking at his blood- red eyes and ferocious face, she sneered, "What, are you so angry that you want to hit me?" Looking at her fearless eyes, Quarmy punched the head of the bed, turned around and strode out of the ward. Monica turned out to be Zoe''s daughter. That could exin why she hated Yale and Madrigal so much. In this case, why did Madrigal choose to be a surrogate? Didn''t she know how much it hurt Monica? Quarmy called Madrigal while driving. "I have something to ask you." Madrigal hung up the phone and looked at her mother. "Mom, there''s something wrong with Quarmy!" "Don''t panic. Just tell him the truth. Your father will be responsible for it." "But I''m still worried." "Don''t be afraid. Mom is here." Yale sneered. "I won''t let that b*tch take your man. I will let her and Quarmy not only be strangers, but also be enemies!" Hearing that, Madrigal felt relieved and went out to see Quarmy. Quarmy looked really unhappy. "I have something to ask you!" "What''s the matter?" Madrigal''s voice was soft, with a look of pity on her face. She and Yale had already thought about all the possible things and had already had a way to deal with them. When she faced Quarmy, she was not panic at all. "Have you always been unaware of Monica''s rtionship with you?" Quarmy stared at her, his eyes as sharp as lightning, as if he wanted to see through her. "You already know it?" Madrigal looked stunned, and then she immediately lowered her head. "I knew it long ago. Because of my mother, she hates us very much. She has been reluctant to admit our rtionship." Quarmy sneered, "So only my mother and I are kept in the dark? Since you know she is your sister and she hates you, why did you choose to be a surrogate?" "Quarmy, I''m sorry! We lied to you about this. At that time, Moni couldn''t get pregnant for a few years. Dad heard that Aunt Sun treated her badly, he was worried, so..." "So what?" "Dad always felt sorry for her, so did my mother. Hearing that she couldn''t get pregnant and was tortured by Aunt Sun, they were very distressed. Coincidentally, Aunt Sun said that she wanted to find a surrogate, so my mother thought of me. I didn''t want to agree, but my mother said that this was the only chance for us topensate Moni. As long as I could give you two a child, Aunt Sun would not torture her and she could live a happy life with you. I thought Moni was pitiful, so I agreed." "How could you do this?" Quarmy muttered to himself. He never dreamed that Madrigal did it because of Zoe and his wife''s guilt for Monica. Only this could exin why she, the daughter of the mayor, was willing to do this kind of thing. "Quarmy, although I like you, I never thought of hurting Moni!" Madrigal exined pitifully. "I never thought about telling her that I was pregnant with your child. I only wanted to secretly give birth to that child so that Auntie Sun would no longer torture her. You have to believe that I didn''t want to hurt her! If it weren''t for Auntie Sun insisting on taking me to see her, such a thing wouldn''t have happened. I was unwilling toe to Moni with your mom, but you know, I couldn''t stop her." Quarmy didn''t say anything. That day, he received a phone call from Madrigal and asked him to go home quickly. She said that his mother was going to take her to see Monica. He was shocked and hurried back without hesitation. But it was toote. When he pushed the door open, he saw Madrigal lying on the ground and Monica was cursing her. Seeing there was blooding out of her legs, he carried her and rushed to the hospital without thinking. His mother was mad at Monica for killing that child. But Madrigal didn''t have anyints. When she came out of the operating room, she begged him not to me Monica and said it was all her fault. Later, after hearing that his mother forced him to divorce Monica, Madrigal came to him with tears all over her face. She said it was all her fault. She asked him to exin to Monica. She also said that she would go with him to make it clear to Monica. Later, his mother forced him to be with Madrigal. Madrigal had always mentioned Monica in front of him. There was guilty in her words. He finally knew why she would feel sorry for Monica. Madrigal stole a nce at Quarmy''s expression and began to wipe her tears. "Quarmy, I always feel sorry for my sister. I have been feeling uneasy over the years. If it weren''t for me, you two wouldn''t have been like this. It''s all my fault! I was very pleased when you said you wanted to be with her, so I agreed to break up with you. As long as you can be with my sister, I won''t feel guilty anymore." Quarmy did not speak. He could not find a way to vent his anger. If Madrigal was telling the truth, it would be Zoe and Yale''s fault. They sacrificed Madrigal to make up for the mistakes they made. Madrigal was innocent. Madrigal was crying, Quarmy was upset. Everything was too fu*king unexpected! He irritably took out a cigarette. Before he lit it, his phone rang. The nanny said in a panic, "Mr. Huo,
