Every Breath You Take

Chapter 134

Ted was a man of no skill. He was addicted to have fun and almost went to jail for a girl. It was Yale

who helped him out of prison.

Yale did it because she wanted to use Lassie. Sure enough, Lassie didn't let her down.

Ted was jobless at that time. Lassie was worried that he would do something bad again, so she asked Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Yale to get him a job.

It took Yale a lot of effort to get Ted a job. Ted was not educated, but he was picky. He only wanted an

easy and well-paid job.

Yale got him several jobs in a row but he screwed them up himself. Later, Yale had no choice but to let

him work for Zoe.

Ted had been at the bottom of the heap. When he heard from his mother that he would work for the

mayor, he was so happy.

Although he was just a driver, it was hard for ordinary people to have close contact with the mayor as

him. Ted's friends were very envious of him and thought highly of him because of it. Ted felt very proud

and began to work hard.

Ted was good at flattering and observing, which made Zoe have a good impression of him.

However, recently Zoe began to dislike Ted. That day, Director Li of the Public Security Bureau came to

Zoe for official business, and he inadvertently mentioned Ted.

"Mayor Jane, is Ted Lee your driver?"

"Yes. What's wrong?" Zoe asked. His intuition told him that Ted had done something wrong.

"Before, we caught a lot of wh*res and wh*remasters in a KTV. One of the wh*remasters was called

this name."

"What did you say?" Zoe's face changed. Although Ted was only a driver, if this matter was spread out,

it would definitely have a bad effect on him.

"A policeman wanted to take him back to the police station that day, but he said that he was your driver.

The policeman saw that he was driving your private car, so he let him go. Later, he was caught in

another nightclub after a few days. He was taking drugs and his car was still yours. I think I should tell

you about this. If this person is really your driver, you should be careful. I advise you to fire him."

Zoe nodded and said, "I see. Thank you for reminding me."

After Director Li left, Zoe frowned. He had to fire Ted.

Zoe was not a procrastinator. He dismissed Ted soon. Lassie immediately called Yale and told her that

Zoe might have discovered something. Yale was also very shocked. Did Zoe really find out what Ted

did? She thought of what Ted did for her. In addition to watching Zoe's every move, Ted used to throw

Coco into the stinking ditch for her. It was almost impossible for Zoe to discover it.

In the evening, Zoe came back with a new driver. Yale asked, "You got a new driver? What about

"Don't mention him. I fired him." Zoe told Yale what Director Li said. Yale was relieved. As long as Zoe

didn't doubt her, everything would be fine. She called Lassie and let her rest assured.

Lassie was also relieved. She had made a lot of money in the Huo family these years. Since Ted was

fired, she wanted him to do business.

Ted knew nothing about business. Lassie suggested him to open a supermarket. Ted went to discuss it

with his friend. His friend said that opening a supermarket was too ordinary. They were young men, so

they should do something exciting, such as opening a nightclub or a bar.

Ted's eyes lit up when he heard that it could make a lot of money. He was a regular at bars and

nightclubs, so he knew how expensive these places were.

He told Lassie about this. Lassie was moved. She asked him how much it would cost to open a bar or a

nightclub.

Ted didn't know much about it. He said that it would take about ten million. Lassie was shocked. "Why

is it so expensive?"

"If we want to open a fancy nightclub, it'll be more expensive." Ted explained, "I asked my friend. One

of his friends opened a medium- grade nightclub with a pure income of more than one million yuan a

month. He got his money back in less than a year."

"Really?" Lassie didn't believe it. "Let's talk about it later. I'll ask someone with experience."

Lassie meant Quarmy. "Quarmy is a successful man. I want to know how he thinks about it."

In the evening, when Quarmy came back, Lassie deliberately asked him about this. She said that one

of her friends wanted to open a nightclub, but she didn't know whether she could make money or not.

Quarmy smiled faintly and said, "It's a lucrative business. Sometimes I will spend one hundred

thousand dollars a night in a nightclub."

Lassie's eyes lit up when she heard it. Therefore, she agreed to her son's request.

However, she didn't have so much money. She asked her son to find a suitable nightclub first. Ted

immediately went to do it with his friends. Coincidentally, they found a nightclub that was ready to be

transferred. The decoration facilities were almost new and the location was very good. The boss said

that it would make at least ten million dollars a year if it was well managed. He wanted to go abroad so

he decided to transfer it at a low price.

Ted was moved. The boss was so sincere that he showed Ted how popular the nightclub was. Ted

stayed in the nightclub for a whole night. When he saw that the nightclub was doing well, he really

wanted to buy it.

The transfer fee was 12 million dollars. How could Ted have such a large sum of money? Lassie had

worked in the Huo family for nine years. All her savings were no more than 5 million.

It was still far from 12 million dollars. Lassie could not afford so much money, so she persuaded Ted to

give up. Ted was willing to listen to her because of the huge interest. He asked Lassie to borrow money

from Quarmy. Lassie did not dare do so. Then, Ted let Lassie turn to Yale. He said that she had done

so many things for Yale, she deserved to be reward. Besides, she could return the money to Yale in the

future.

Lassie had no choice but to talk to Yale about this matter. Yale was furious when she heard that. This

old b*tch was really shameless! How dared she try to borrow several million dollars? Could she still

afford it? The point was that Yale herself didn't have so much money.

However, Yale did not dare to offend Lassie. After all, she had used Lassie too much before. If she did

not help Lassie, Lassie would be dissatisfied. If Lassie told others about her secrets, things would be

troublesome.

Yale did not agree to help Lassie, nor did she disagree. She just said that she did not have so much

money at the moment, so she had to borrow it from her friends.

Seeing that, Lassie left without suspecting anything. Yale went home angrily and talked with Madrigal

about this matter. "This old b*tch is really greedy. She wants to make tens of millions a year? Keep

dreaming!"

Madrigal comforted her. "Mom, I've been to this nightclub before. It's doing well! I don't think Lassie is

dreaming."

"Really?" Yale rarely went to nightclubs, so she didn't know much about it. Hearing what Madrigal said,

she was tempted. She and Uriah owned several shops and they were all doing well. However, the

profits of these shops were far less than 10 million. If this nightclub could really make so much money,

she could let Uriah take a stake in. In this way, they could make money together without offending

Lassie. Moreover, there was no need to worry that Ted would not return the money.

Yale called Vashon immediately. She asked Vashon to let Uriah go to the beauty salon as soon as

possible.

Yale told Uriah about the nightclub thing. Uriah was also tempted. Of course, he had heard of this night

shop. He didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

However, Uriah didn't have so much money either. The nightclub was too tempting. Uriah and Yale

decided to sell out their shops so that they could buy this nightclub.

Uriah went to do it immediately. Yale went to Lassie and told her that she failed to borrow money, but

one of her friends planned to open a nightclub. Her friend wanted to cooperate with Ted and reduce of

risk.

Lassie discussed it with Ted and Ted agreed. The two sides met and talked about the details of their

cooperation. In order to have an equal share in the future, they decided to contribute half each. Uriah

got six million after selling his shops, but Ted still needed one million. Finally, he mortgaged his house.

After receiving the money, the owner of the nightclub simply transferred the ownership of the nightclub

to them.

There were already employees in the nightclub. Ted, Yale, and the others were waiting to get money

happily. As expected, the nightclub's business was booming. In the past week, they earned a lot, which

made them extremely happy. However, on the eighth day, something suddenly happened.

A group of policemen suddenly appeared in the nightclub with government workers. They said that the

nightclub was reported for selling fake wine, so they had to investigate the nightclub according to the

law. Soon, the police blocked the nightclub and checked the wine here. They found out that the so-

called millions of dollars worth of foreign wine in the warehouse were all fake.

Government workers sanctioned the nightclub for selling counterfeit alcohol and confiscated illegal

liquor. Ted and others would be fined according to the law. Because of the large amount of the fake

wine, the nightclub's license would be revoked.

This was undoubtedly a great blow for Ted and others. The nightclub was closed, the money was gone,

and they were almost charged. If it weren't for Yale, they would have been more miserable.

Ted lost all his money. Uriah and Yale were better than him, but they also lost their shops. Fortunately,

they still owned a beauty salon.

Lassie fiercely scolded her son, but it couldn't change anything. The money she lost would never come

back.

The mother and son were really upset. Ted didn't even have a place to live now, so he had to rent a

house.

Quarmy narrowed his eyes and leaned on the sofa in a fancy private room. Things went great. He

could imagine how upset Lassie and Yale were now.

They lost almost everything because of the so-called profitable nightclub. They mus be regretful now,

right? However, it was just the beginning. In the future, he would slowly let them live in sufferings.

In the beginning, Quarmy only wanted to set Lassie and her son up. He let Director Li advise Zoe to fire

Ted. After that, Ted started to hang out with former friends again. He trusted his friends so he told them

that he was ready to do business. Quarmy let Ted's friends encourage him to open a nightclub. Ted

didn't have so much money, so he would definitely turn to Lassie and Yale. However, Yale didn't have

so much money, and she wouldn't lend such a large sum to Lassie.

That nightclub had always been doing well. Yale was greedy and selfish, she would not miss such a

good opportunity. As long as they got into his trap, he would let them suffer.

Of course, it was partly because of Monica that Quarmy could think of such a way to deal with Yale. A

couple days ago, Monica called him and told him that Yale had an affair. He was surprised that Yale's

accomplice was also her lover.

Quarmy's men found that Uriah owned several shops. These shops had something to do with the

government, so they had been doing well. Quarmy guessed that it must be because of Yale.

Yale was really sinister. On one hand, she was the mayor's wife. On the other hand, she was having an

affair. Since that was the case, it was really easy for Quarmy to deal with Yale.

The only thing Quarmy needed to do was to set a trap for them. People were all greedy. In the face of

temptation, they would forget everything. Yale and Lassie really suffered a big loss.

Quarmy was really lucky this time. If Director Li hadn't offered to transfer a nightclub to him, he wouldn't

have thought of such a good idea.

While Quarmy was thinking, the door was pushed open. A middle-aged man came in. "Thank you, Mr.

Huo!"

Quarmy raised the corners of his lips and said, "Director Li, you're too polite. It's just a piece of cake."

"That really means a lot to me." Director Li was very grateful to Quarmy. The real boss of that nightclub

was Director Li. Because Director Li was an official, the legal owner had always been someone else.

Thanks to Director Li, the nightclub had been doing well and made a lot of money. Last month, Director

Li suddenly heard that the Department of Discipline Inspection was investigating the property of

officials.

Director Li was worried that this matter would be exposed. When he was anxious, something bad

happened. A batch of wine worth millions of dollars was replaced as fake wine.

Director Li was not too worried about the fake wine because he had earned a lot of money. It was just

that he had to find a way to transfer the nightclub. He had a good relationship with Quarmy, so he

asked if Quarmy wanted to buy it. When Quarmy heard about it, he came up with an idea. He not only

helped Director Li sell the nightclub, but also let someone else take over the fake wine.

Before they transferred the nightclub to Ted, the wine in the warehouse was not fake. After selling this

nightclub to Ted, the wine was replaced as fake wine again.

While Ted and the others were immersed in the happiness of making money, Quarmy asked someone

to report the nightclub, which sent them from heaven to hell.

Director Li did not lose a penny so he was very grateful to Quarmy. He said, "If you need my help in the

future, just come to me."

Quarmy smiled lightly and said, "Thank you very much. I will!"

He really wanted Director Li to do him a favor. He had heard that Ted's biological father would be

released after a few months. Quarmy didn't want to wait so long because he needed his help.

Therefore, he asked Director Li to get that man out of prison.

Director Li agreed and let Quarmy wait for the good news.

After that, Quarmy drove to the hospital. His mother was still in a coma. He stood outside the ward and

looked at his mother through the glass. He really felt upset.

One of the carers reported, "Dr. Xi came to visit Madam today."

Quarmy didn't say anything. It seemed that Eva still didn't give up! Yale set Monica and Jenny up for

her daughter Madrigal. Lassie helped her because she was bribed. But why did Eva do this to Jenny?

Quarmy could not understand Eva's motive at all. Over the years, Jenny had always treated Eva as her

best friend. She would almost share everything with Eva, and Eva had no reason hate her at all.

Eva was a doctor, so she didn't lack money, nor did she need Yale's help. Why would she be willing to

be Yale's accomplice? He had to investigate Eva and deal with this heartless woman.

Quarmy had investigated Eva for Mary before. He just wanted to know if Eva was Mary's mother at that

time. Mary denied it and then some unexpected things happened, so the investigation stopped.

Quarmy started to investigate Eva again and soon found out that Eva was Kate. Xanjer was Kate's

half-brother, Kate was Hannah's half-sister, so Monica was Eva's niece.

According to common sense, Eva only had one sister, so she should have a good relationship with her

sister. However, Monica never knew that she had such an aunt.

Therefore, Hannah must have never mentioned Eva to Monica. Why?

Eva must know Monica's identity, but she still chose to help Yale and Madrigal. It was obvious that Eva

hated Monica.

However, Monica didn't even know Eva's identity. It should be said that Eva hated Monica because she

hated Hannah. Eva and Hannah were half- sisters. Why did they hate each other?

Before, Quarmy believed Mary and thought that she had nothing to do with Eva. Now he was

absolutely sure that Mary was Eva's daughter. Otherwise, Mary would not help Eva to set him up.

He hadn't heard from Mary since she went abroad. Before, Quarmy suspected that she did not go

abroad, but now he found out that Mary did go abroad. It was just that she was nowhere to be found.

What was going on? Could she be invisible?? Or something happened to her?

After investigation, the truth was quickly revealed. Hannah and Eva turned against each other for a

man. This man was Jim, the father of Roland.

Quarmy didn't know the relationship between Eva, Hannah and Jim. Since Hannah was dead and Eva

was living with Jim, he was sure that Eva was the winner.

Since that was the case, why did she hate Hannah so much and even start to hate Monica after

Hannah died?

Quarmy thought of Mary again. Eva got pregnant before she got married. Who was Mary's biological

father? Was it Jim? No, if Mary was Jim's child, Eva wouldn't have given birth to her in the Cat's Alley.

Eva didn't like any other man except Jim. She was beautiful, so there were a lot of men who liked her.

Even when she was in the cat's alley, she had attracted the attention of many gangsters. The one who

loved her most was Yale's cousin. The relationship between Eva and Yale started from the Cat's Alley.

Eva was beautiful, so Yale's cousin fell in love with her. When Eva was in the Cat's Alley, Yale's cousin

often went to Yale's house for Eva. Some people said that Yale's cousin had an abnormal relationship

with Eva. One time, when Yale's cousin was drunk, he said that he had slept with Eva.

However, some people said that they had nothing to do with each other at all. Yale's cousin deliberately

said so because he was mocked by others. He was a gangster who didn't look handsome, while Eva

was a well educated beauty. Therefore, it was hard for people to believe that Eva would love Yale's

cousin.

The truth was that Yale's cousin did like Eva. According to Quarmy's investigation, Yale's cousin

pestered Eva when she was in the Cat's Alley, but Eva was indifferent to him. Later, when Eva was

pregnant and lived in the cat's alley, Yale's cousin had been taking care of her. But later, he was sent to

prison because of crimes.

Did Eva help Yale because Yale used to take her in? Quarmy frowned. Why didn't Eva ask for

Francisco's help at that time?

The real Xanjer was already dead. The present Xanjer was Francisco. Why did Francisco pretend to be

Xanjer? Was there any unknown secret behind it? Quarmy was really confused.

"No, I have to talk to Xanjer!"
