Every Breath You Take

Chapter 101

Madrigal began to follow Quarmy secretly. After putting on a disguise, she hired a car to wait

downstairs at Quarmy's company. Quarmy went to the company and then went out to meet customers.

During this period, Noah had been with him.

After work, Quarmy and Noah left the company respectively. Madrigal followed Quarmy's car from a

distance. He drove the car into the parking lot of the supermarket. Madrigal did not dare to follow him,

so she just waited outside.

Half an hour later, Quarmy went out of the supermarket. She immediately followed him. His destination

was XS Garden.

A rich lady Madrigal knew lived here, so she had been here before. It was a place for the rich, but

Quarmy had never brought her to his villa. After getting engaged to Quarmy, she had been looking

forward to living here after marrying him.

Madrigal's car was not allowed to enter because it was too cheap. The security guard stopped her and

asked her who invited her here. Madrigal had no choice but to park the car outside.

After waiting outside for about an hour, she saw a familiar person. It was Monica.

Monica walked into XS Garden with her bag. When Madrigal saw the security guards greeting Monica,

her eyes widened. As Quarmy's fiancee, she was not allowed to enter, while Monica, the little b*tch,

went in in a justified way. She hated Monica so much that she really wanted to get off the car and rush

into the villa to make a scene.

However, she couldn't really do so. She was a lady. She couldn't do such a shameless thing!

She took a deep breath and finally reduced the hatred and anger in her heart. Now she finally

understood why Monica had moved out of the Jane family.

Monica opened the door and entered the villa. Quarmy came out of the kitchen. He was wearing a

cartoon apron, which made him look a bit weird. When he saw Monica, he said with a smile, "I've

cooked the rice and washed the ingredients. All you have to do is cook."

He looked as if he had done something extraordinary. Monica looked up and down at him and said

slowly, "I'm sorry, I forgot how to cook because I hadn't done it for many years!"

"You don't know how to cook?" Quarmy almost suspected that there was something wrong with his

ears. "You have amnesia?"

Monica did not answer. She sat on the sofa. "Mr. Huo, is it written in the contract that I have to cook?"

Quarmy was stunned. "No."

"Then why do I have to cook?"

"You used to be good at cooking, didn't you? I thought you liked it."

She was good at cooking? She liked cooking? That was really funny. Was she a natural cook? Monica

twitched her mouth. "In the past, I had no job, so I had to do it. Now I have to go to work to make

money. I don't have time to cook. Besides, I'm not interested in cooking at all!"

Quarmy's body instinctively stiffened. Then he waved his hand and said helplessly, "Well, then I'll do it."

Monica sneered. When Quarmy turned around, she added, "Mr. Huo, are you insane?" She had never

seen him cook before. Was he out of his mind?

Quarmy turned around and looked at her. "What do you mean?"

"I'd like to remind you that I'm not Madrigal, but Monica. You don't have to please me!"

Quarmy's face suddenly changed. He stopped to glare at her with his angry eyes. After a while, he

threw his apron on the ground and strode away.

Monica smiled and did not care about it at all. That was what she wanted.

After he left, she opened her bag and took out the ovulation strip to have a test. Two purple red lines

appeared, but the color was light. It seemed that she was ovulating in a few days.

Madrigal drove home angrily and told Yale what she had seen. "Mom, what should we do now?"

Yale sneered. "Since she wants to to die so badly, I'll satisfy her."

"What are you going to do?"

"Didn't she scold me as a mistress? I want her to know how it feels to be a mistress!" Hatred flashed in

Yale's eyes.

Monica was awakened by the alarm clock in the morning. When she opened her eyes, she saw

Quarmy sleeping next to her. He came back last night? It was really unexpected. She quietly got up.

Quarmy also woke up. "I'll take you to work. You don't have to take the bus!"

Monica ignored him and rushed into the bathroom. When she was brushing her teeth, Quarmy came in

slowly with her phone in his hand. "Your manager's call!"

Monica took it. The manager said that she didn't have to go to the company. She could go directly to

VSUS because they had to sign a contract with VSUS.

Quarmy smiled and said, "I'll take you there." As soon as he finished speaking, Monica glared at him

fiercely. "Quarmy, did you tell others about our relationship?"

"No." Quarmy answered innocently. He was afraid that she would not believe him, so he added, "I don't

like to gossip."

In the end, she took Quarmy's car. Quarmy said it was still early, so he took her to have breakfast.

When they arrived at VSUS, it was 9: 30 in the morning, and Monica's manager had not come yet.

She sat in the reception room for a while before the manager came. The business went smoothly and

Quarmy treated them again. At noon, the manager said that he still had plans, so he left Monica to

accompany Quarmy for lunch.

Monica knew that things were not that simple. She proposed to leave with the manager, but the

manager refused her. He said that this was a part of her work. Monica was a little depressed, but

Quarmy was very happy. He kept picking up food for her.

After lunch, Quarmy proposed to send her back to her company. Monica couldn't bear it anymore. "Mr.

Huo, aren't you busy?"

Quarmy knew that she was really angry, so he gave up.

They returned to XS Garden in the evening. Quarmy didn't ask her to cook again. Instead, he took her

to the Sichuan restaurant that they had been to before. Monica enjoyed the food here very much.

After returning to the villa, Quarmy went to work in the study. Monica went to the bathroom for a test

and found that the color was still the same as in the morning. It meant that she was going to have sex

with Quarmy in the next few days, but she always felt uncomfortable in her heart.

For her son, she had to do it! If he wanted to have sex with her, she would not refuse! Monica made up

her mind.

However, Quarmy was busy dealing with the business in the study. In the end, Monica went to sleep.

Anyway, she was not ovulating yet, so there was no need for her to seduce him.

The next day, when she arrived at the company, she suddenly found that the atmosphere in the office

seemed to be different from usual. She thought that she had thought too much. Later, she went to the

tea room and unexpectedly heard some gossip. "No wonder I thought she looked familiar. She has

been on a blind date before. She was very popular at that time. Later, she left hand in hand with an

unknown man. I thought she would marry him, but..."

"Only you would think so. I don't believe in those programs. They are all lies made up by TV stations to

get ratings."

"Isn't she a single mother? Why do so many rich guys like her? What do Mr. Wang and Mr. Huo like

about her?"

"She's pretty! Don't you think so?"

"So what? She's just a mistress. Shame on her."

Monica couldn't put up with it any longer and rushed in with a cup in her hand. The gossipers inside

didn't expect that she would be here. They were so embarrassed that they immediately left.

Monica felt uncomfortable. Why did these people gossip about her? What on earth happened?

While she was thinking, her phone rang. It was from Summer. "Moni, bad news. Someone has exposed

what happened between you and Quarmy. Everyone is cursing you as a mistress and your blind date is

mentioned again. Public opinion is against you, you'd better be mentally prepared."

Monica was stunned. After a long time, she ran back to the office. Seeing her, others immediately

stopped talking. She turned on her computer and saw overwhelming information.

She saw a photo of her eating together with Quarmy, a photo of them siting in a car, and a photo of her

entering XS Garden. The report said that Quarmy had a new lover, and that the new lover was

suspected to be Monica, the single mother who used to be on a blind date program.

She read the report in a hurry. It said that she was not a single mother, she was just using this identity

to deceive the public. She had always been a mistress who tried to step into a wealthy family. She used

to hook up with Roland, but the Wang family tore them apart. Now she was shamelessly living with

Quarmy, who had a fiancee.

The comments below were full of curses. Monica's hands were shaking. She controlled herself and

walked into the manager's office. She tried her best to calm herself down and asked for a leave. She

had to find a quiet place to think about how to deal with this matter.

Unexpectedly, when she walked out of the company, she met a group of reporters. They raised the

cameras to her and asked her all kinds of questions. Some strong women rushed to curse her. "Damn

it. I used to feel sorry for her because I thought she was a single mother. It turns out that she's a

mistress!"

"Don't let her go! We should tell everyone how shameless she is!"

"B*tch, shameless b*tch! Beat her to death!" Several women cursed Monica, as if they hated her to the

extreme. The reporters kept taking photos, making Monica unable to open her eyes.

Those women kept attacking her with dirty words. One of them actually rushed to her. She looked as if

Monica had ruined her family.

Monica instinctively stepped back. One woman grabbed her hair. Monica had never fought with others

before. Her scalp was hurt, so she subconsciously tried to block the attack. She accidentally hit the

woman who was holding her hair in the eye. Eyes were sensitive and Monica used a lot of strength.

The woman screamed and let go of her. The other women cursed and surrounded Monica. Fortunately,

the manager rushed over with security guards to stop them. Then, Monica staggered out.

Quarmy immediately called Monica when he saw the report, but her phone was turned off. He

immediately called her manager and asked him to look for her. Hearing that, the manager went out in a

hurry. When he saw people bullying Monica, he immediately asked the security guards to save her.

Quarmy hung up the phone and drove to Monica's company in a hurry. When he arrived, Monica had

already disappeared. Those women and reporters had not yet left. He asked the security guards to

send them to the police station, then he immediately drove to find Monica.

He first called the Jane family and asked if Monica was at home. Lancy said no. He then drove back to

XS Garden, but he still didn't see her. The security guard at the door also said that he didn't see

Monica. He had to go to Xanjer's place. When he arrived, he saw Roland's car.

They went upstairs together and knocked on the door. Seeing them, Xanjer was a little shocked and

asked what had happened.

Of course, they would not tell Xanjer about this. They just told him to call them when Monica was back.

Roland called Summer, but Summer didn't see Monica either. There were only a few places where

Monica might go. Quarmy and Roland looked at each other, without knowing what to do. They decided

to look for her separately. If one of them had heard from her, he would tell the other.

Quarmy drove aimlessly on the street to. He had checked all the places where Monica might appear.

He even went to the tube-shaped apartment, but he still didn't find her.

He really didn't know where to go. He called the Jane family almost every ten minutes and asked Lancy

if Monica had come back.

Lancy's answer was always no. However, his frequent calls made her nervous. Zoe was not at home.

Lancy asked Qaurmy if she should tell Zoe about Monica's disappearance.

Quarmy said no. If Zoe knew this, he would be very angry. At the same time, Yale and her daughter

was laughing happily in the room. "B*tch, you deserve it!"

They wished Monica to commit suicide out of shame. In this way, everything would be fine.

Monica couldn't be found anywhere. Quarmy could only drive around. It was getting dark. He drove

very slowly, and he had been looking outside of the window. He only hoped that Monica would

suddenly appear.

However, no matter where he was, he could not see her. It was as if she had disappeared.

Finally, when Quarmy was almost been all over the city, Roland called him and asked if he had went to

Monica's mother's grave.

Quarmy reacted in an instant. Right, he had searched everywhere, except for that place. He

immediately turned around and went to Monica's mother's grave.

He parked the car at the foot of the mountain and hurried to the mountain. The road was not smooth

and it was at night, so Quarmy fell several times. Both his legs and palms got hurt. Finally, he reached

the top of the mountain.

It was too dark that nothing could be seen. Quarmy shouted, "Monica... Moni... Monica..."

There was no response. He walked and shouted. Then, he felt that there was something under his feet.

He looked down and found that it was a shoe. After picking it up, he was sure that it was Monica's

shoe. She was indeed here. He was delighted and groped for Hannah's grave.

Finally, he saw a person on the ground not far away. He thought he was mistaken, so he went forward

in a hurry. Finally, he saw that it was indeed a person. She was curling up in front of a small

tombstone...

"Moni!" He cried out in distress and quickly reached out his hands to hold her in his arms. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Monica's body was hot. Quarmy called her several times without getting a reply. He had to hold her

down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, he met Roland. "How is she?" Roland hurriedly asked.

At the same time, he reached out to take Monica from Quarmy.

"Hurry up and drive to the hospital!" Naturally, Quarmy would not hand Monica over to Roland. He just

ordered him to drive.

Roland did not argue with him. He immediately went to drive. Quarmy sat in the back seat with Monica

in his arms. "Hurry up! She seems to have a fever."

Roland had no time to argue with Quarmy. The most important thing was to send Monica to the

hospital.

Monica was still in a coma, and her whole body was boiling hot. She was wearing only one shoe, and

the foot without a shoe was injured.

Quarmy felt a sharp pain in his heart. It was all his fault. He was a jerk!

Roland and Quarmy quickly sent Monica to the hospital. The doctor immediately gave Monica first aid.

After that, Monica was sent to the ward. The doctor told them that she would be fine. Hearing that,

Roland and Quarmy looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

After Monica rushed out of the company, she got on a bus. When the bus arrived at the destination,

she got off the bus and got on another one. She just kept taking buses until she was the only

passenger.

The night fell, and the scenery outside the window became dark. When she heard "Nan Mountain

Station", she suddenly stood up.

The bus driver opened the door, and she slowly got out of the car. The night wind made her feel cold.

She trembled and finally realized what had happened.

She finally understood why she got off the car. Her mother was on the mountain. She was looking for

her mother. Everyone in the world would laugh at her and despise her, except her mother.

Monica stumbled up the mountain. The road was not smooth and it was at night, but she was not

afraid. There was only one thought in her mind. When she found her mother, her mother would comfort

her and take care of her. Unknowingly, she lost one of her shoes. Finally, she came to Hannah's grave.

She sat in front of Hannah's tombstone, quietly staring at Hannah's photo. She smiled so beautiful, so

gentle, and so kind.

She reached out to touch Hannah's face and leaned against the tombstone. It was as if she had

returned to her mother's embrace. She finally had a feeling of peace. Slowly, she felt tired and fell

asleep.

Yale and Madrigal had been happily reading the comments on the Internet. Every ten minutes, Lancy

would pick up the phone. As time passed slowly, Quarmy finally stopped calling Lancy. They looked at

each other and knew that he had found that little b*tch.

"Mom, what should we do now?" Madrigal asked.

"We can't pretend that we don't know about such a big thing. Call Quarmy and ask how Monica is."

Madrigal called Quarmy, but no one answered. She didn't give up and called him several more times,

but the result was still the same.

"Mom, he didn't answer my phone. Does he suspect me?" With that said, her phone rang. It was from

Nee.

"Madrigal, bad news. Something terrible happened! Those women... those women... the police

station..." Nee was so nervous that she couldn't speak coherently. "The people who went to attack

Monica were taken to the police station!"

"What did you say?" Madrigal was shocked. "Didn't I ask them to leave after they made some trouble?

How did they get caught?"

"They planned to leave, but they were stopped by the security guards... Later, all of them were taken to

the police station. They are all my relatives. What if they tell the police that I asked them to do it?"

"You really let me down!" Madrigal was angry. "Didn't I ask you to hire some strangers? Why are they

your relatives? Damn it!"

Nee regretted it, too. She asked her relatives to do it because they would be well-paid. She thought

that they could escape easily, but she was wrong.

Hearing that, Yale grabbed the phone from Madrigal. "If so, you have to take all the responsibility by

yourself!"

"What?" Nee opened her mouth wide. When Madrigal asked her to do it, she did not say that she would

bear the consequences. Instead, she kept saying that nothing would happen. How did it come to this??

"Will I go to jail?"

"No! You didn't do anything wrong. They are indeed living together." Yale comforted her. "You should

say that you accidentally found their affair. You felt very angry, so you did it for Madrigal. You will be fine

with us around. Do you understand?"

"I... But what if Quarmy doesn't believe me?" Nee was anxious. If she had known this, she wouldn't

have promised Madrigal.

"He has to believe you. Don't worry, you'll be fine. Besides, I will reward you." Yale said in a louder

tone, "Isn't your brother graduating soon? I'll arrange a good job for him and your boyfriend. I will treat

you well, understand?"

After thinking for a moment, Nee agreed. She couldn't lose Madrigal. Now that things had come to this

point, she'd better do as Yale said. Moreover, she knew how cruel Madrigal was. If she annoyed her,

she would suffer a lot.

After persuading Nee, Yale ordered Madrigal, "Continue to call Quarmy and tell him this matter

immediately. Put all the blame on Nee."

Monica was still in a coma. Roland and Quarmy stayed in the ward silently. After a while, Roland's

phone rang. It was from Beck. "Mr. Wang, I found out who did it."

"Who is it?"

"It's Nee, Madrigal's good friend! She asked the paparazzi to follow Miss Mo and write a report to

smear her." Beck paused for a moment. "As for the women who went to Miss Mo's company, they were

Nee's relatives. Nee said that she did it for Madrigal."

"I doubt that!" Roland sneered. "We have to find out who's behind this."

After hanging up the phone, Roland looked at Quarmy with a sneer. "Mr. Huo, do you feel that the

whole thing is very strange? I don't believe that it has nothing to do with your fiancee!"

Quarmy's face changed. He knew Madrigal and Nee were friends. Why did Nee target Monica? Before

he could call Madrigal, his phone rang. Madrigal's urgent voice sounded. "Quarmy, have you found my

sister?"

"Hmm!" Quarmy snorted.

"Quarmy, I called you many times, but you didn't answer. I'm very worried, I..." Madrigal's voice

sounded anxious and pitiful.

"What are you worried about?" Quarmy asked coldly.

"Quarmy..." Madrigal paused for a moment and said in a trembling voice, "Quarmy, I want to tell you

one thing. Nee's responsible for this whole thing!"

"Nee? Why?"

"She... she hates Monica because Monica slapped her in the mall. When she saw you and Monica

having dinner... she... she informed the paparazzi. Then, she asked her relatives to make trouble. She

wanted to teach Monica a lesson." Madrigal answered intermittently.

Quarmy sneered. "Really?"

"Quarmy, I'm not lying. But it's still my fault. I've already cut off my relationship with Nee!"

"So what? Can you pretend that nothing has happened?" Quarmy asked. Madrigal bit her lip. Indeed,

what she did was useless because this matter had a great impact on Monica.

"I... I'll find a way!"

Quarmy hung up the phone impatiently. This was not the time to blame someone, but to minimize the

impact of the whole thing. He went outside and called Noah. "How is it going?"

"Mr. Huo, the negative news can't be suppressed. It has spread out." Noah smiled bitterly. "Someone

abroad hired a lot of people to smear Miss Mo!"

"Bastard!" It was the first time Quarmy had cursed. "No matter what, you have to suppress this matter."

Noah agreed, but Quarmy was still anxious. How could this matter become like this? Someone abroad

hired a lot of people to smear Monica. It couldn't be Nee. Also, since Madrigal had called him, she

would not do such a stupid thing. Who the hell did it?

When he returned to the ward, he saw the Roland sitting beside Monica's bed. He only felt very

annoyed. Roland actually asked him to leave. "Mr. Huo, you can go back. I'll be here."

"Why should I go back?" Quarmy was unhappy.

"Everything happened because of you. You still want to stand here and anger Monica?" Roland looked

at Quarmy coldly. "Monica's reputation has been ruined because of you. Do you think it's suitable for

you to stay here? Or do you want to stay here to see how embarrassing she is?"

Quarmy's face was gloomy, and there was coldness in his dark eyes. He gnashed his teeth and said,

"Roland, I feel bad too! I'm not as shameless as you said!"

"You still have the nerve to defend yourself. Aren't you shameless? You're the most shameless man

I've ever seen. I've seen a lot of cheating men, but you are the first one who cheated on your wife with

the woman she hated most. Son of a b*tch!" Roland was not polite at all. "If you are not shameless,

why did you hook up with the daughter of her father's mistress? I wonder if you are still a man. How

could you force her to be your lover after you're engaged!"

"Roland, the truth is not what you saw. Let me tell you, I didn't do anything wrong!"

"Is that so?" Roland stared at Quarmy. "Let me ask you, how are you going to explain this to Monica?"

"How?" Quarmy glared at Roland. "Now isn't the time to explain. I need to deal with the negative news

first."

"You are fu*king funny. This matter has been spread. How are you going to deal with it? Can you

guarantee that no one will gossip about her again?"

"I'm thinking of a way!"

While they were quarreling, Summer came in. She has the same bad temper as Roland. She pointed at

Quarmy and said, "Hey, get out! We don't want to see you here!"

Roland, was extremely happy after hearing that. "Get out, we don't want to see you here!"

Quarmy was driven out in disgrace. He stood angrily in the corridor. Noah came over and said, "Mr.

Huo, let's go back and find a way!"

Quarmy went out of the hospital with Noah unwillingly.

Yale sneered while reading the comments on the Internet. "Now Monica's reputation has been ruined,

Quarmy must be mad at you. At present, you have to please him. You should call him immediately and

tell him that you want to clarify the matter for Monica."

"How?"

"Tell Quarmy that you want to tell everyone that Monica is your sister."

"Mom, Dad will definitely not agree to this."

"I know, but it doesn't matter. Just say it to Quarmy and see how he will answer."

"Mom, are you sure? If Quarmy agrees, what should we do?"

"What's wrong with that? If Quarmy agrees, everyone will know Monica is his sister-in-law. He will

never be able to stay with Monica again, or others will gossip about him forever." Yale sneered. "He

knows it very well."

"What if he doesn't agree?"

"Call him first. If he doesn't agree, I will find a way to deal with him."

Quarmy was anxiously rubbing his eyebrows in the car. The phone rang. Noah looked at the screen

and handed the phone to him. "It's Miss Jane."

Quarmy answered impatiently, "What's the matter?"

"Quarmy, I want to talk to you." Madrigal naturally noticed his impatience. "I'm really angry at their

scolding of my sister. I can't let them continue to bully her. We have to find a way."

"Do you have any good ideas?" Quarmy asked.

"I thought about it just now. Now everyone is attacking Monica because they misunderstood your

relationship with her. Why don't we eliminate the misunderstanding?"

"How?"

"Tell everyone that Monica is my elder sister. It's normal for her to have dinner with you... Also, she

went to XS Garden because she wanted to visit me. In this way, they will no longer misunderstand her."

"No!" Quarmy refused. Madrigal's way could be helpful, but it would bring more problems.

First of all, no one knew that Monica was Zoe's daughter. Such an abrupt announcement would

definitely have an impact on Zoe. It is said that Zoe went to the province not for a meeting but for an

investigation. If his opponents knew Monica's identity and made a big fuss, Zoe's career would

definitely be affected.

Secondly, if others knew Monica was his sister-in-law, it would be hard to him to be with her. They

would definitely scold Monica as a mistress who stole her sister's fiance. In this way, Monica would be

unable to live in peace. This method was terrible.

"Why not? I think this is the best way." Madrigal asked innocently.

"Have you ever thought that Mayor Jane would not agree to make Monica's identity public?"

"I... But this is all because of me. I can't think of any other way." She certainly knew that Zoe would not

agree.

"Forget it, I'll think of another way to deal with this matter." Quarmy hung up the phone.

Madrigal turned to look at Yale. "Mom, he refused."

"This shows that he still wants to be with that little b*tch. It's fine. This time I will teach them a lesson."

Yale sneered. "I have to find a way to get rid of that little b*tch!"

After thinking for a while, Quarmy said to Noah, "Let out the news that Monica is my ex-wife!"

"Mr. Huo, are you sure?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"Have you forgotten the blind date program? If I tell others that you are her ex-husband, your

reputation, and your mother's reputation..." Noah reminded him that Monica's ex- husband and ex-

mother- in- law were scums in others' eyes. Their reputation would be ruined.

"I don't care. I know Moni well. She has a strong selfesteem. I can't let her bear such a humiliation. The

most important thing is that I forced her to be my lover." Quarmy rubbed his eyebrows. "I deserve to be

scolded, so does my mother. We should take the responsibility."

"I'm afraid that Madam Huo won't think so. Can she accept it? She has a prejudice against Miss Mo all

the time, you..."

Noah meant that if Jenny was scolded, she would hate Monica more. It'd be more impossible for her to

treat Monica well. However, Quarmy couldn't care that much. "That's much better than letting Moni

being scolded alone.Just do as I say."

Noah went to do it immediately. Quarmy lit a cigarette. When the news was released, it would definitely

cause a big stir. He and his mother would certainly be scolded by the public. He only hoped that this

matter would be settled. He did it just to relieve Monica's anger. He and his mother were sorry for her.

Besides, this matter must have something to do with Madrigal. He chose to let her go because he

wanted to break up with her. From now on, he no longer owed her.
