Every Breath You Take

Mary had been worried these days. In the end, she didn't tell Quarmy that Eva was indeed her mother.

Hearing that Eva was not her mother, Quarmy comforted her not to be anxious. He would help her find her mother in the future.

Mary was very uneasy about lying to Quarmy. She was not a wicked person, so she felt really bad.

Eva came to see her, saying that she wanted to compensate her. Eva was rich, so she offered to send Mary to study abroad. It was the dream of many people to study abroad. Mary was also a little moved. Seeing that, Eva said that she would go to apply for the process of studying abroad immediately. She asked Mary to resign immediately, which made Mary felt a bit reluctant.

She had a crush on Quarmy, not only because Quarmy had helped her, but also because he was charming enough to become women's dream lover.

However, Quarmy didn't like her at all. He only loved Monica. Mary agreed to study abroad partly because she wanted to forget Quarmy.

Unrequited love was too painful. Mary felt that she could no longer stay by Quarmy's side. Studying abroad was a good choice. Eva did not allow Mary to make public their relationship, so Mary had to leave Quarmy's company first. After that, she could go to study abroad. Mary was going to talk to Quarmy about her resignation, only to find that Quarmy's face was full of scratch marks. She knew who did it. Only Monica could be so presumptuous.

Why did Monica have to scratch his face? Wouldn't it embarrass him? Although this was a matter between Quarmy and Monica, Mary could not help but dislike Monica.

Monica was too cruel! Quarmy had done so much for her. He even destroyed his own reputation. What else did she want?

Mary didn't resign, but went back to her office. She felt upset the whole day. After she returned home at night, Eva came to her with fruit.

Eva asked if she had resigned. Mary said no. When she saw the scars on Quarmy's face, she didn't know how to say it.

Eva looked thoughtful. "Mary, do you like Quarmy, and you don't want to leave him, right?"

"I don't like him." Mary denied immediately.

"Mom knows what you are thinking. Quarmy is so excellent. It's understandable that you like him." Eva sighed. "It's just that Quarmy won't like other women except Monica. You'd better forget him, so as not to be as pitiful as Madrigal."

"Isn't Madrigal the other woman? What's so pitiful about her?" Mary retorted.

"The other woman is not Madrigal but Monica. I know this better than you." Eva told Mary that Madrigal and Monica were sisters. She said that Madrigal and Quarmy were childhood sweethearts while Monica was the other woman. In order to seduce Quarmy, Monica broke up with her boyfriend Leon and had sex with Quarmy, forcing Quarmy to marry her.

"She is not sterile, but she refused to carry Quarmy's child on the pretext of infertility. She only loved Leon, and she wanted to get back together with him. She secretly went to meet Leon when she was Quarmy's wife. Jenny was very angry when she knew it. Jenny forced Quamry to divorce Monica not only because Monica was sterile, but because she had an affair with Leon."

"She actually cheated on Quarmy?" Mary opened her mouth in surprise. She couldn't imagine that Quarmy, who was so excellent, had been betrayed.

"She is also very vicious. Let me tell you another secret. In the past, Monica quarreled with Jenny every day because of infertility. For the good of the family, Monica forced Zoe to let Madrigal be the surrogate. Yale and Madrigal had always thought that they owed Monica, so they agreed. However, Monica was too cruel. When Madrigal was pregnant for three months, she pushed Madrigal to the ground, causing Madrigal to miscarry. Jenny couldn't bear it and let Quarmy divorce her."

"So that's why they divorced?" Though Eva was lying, Mary believed her. Mary didn't like Monica at first, after hearing this, she hated Monica more. "I didn't expect Monica to be such a person."

"Yes, the Huo Family is rich and powerful. When they got divorced, Quarmy wanted to give her money but she was so sinister that she left without a penny. Because of it, Quarmy has always felt guilty for her." Eva continued to talk nonsense. "After divorcing Quarmy, she wanted to be with Leon. However, the Gu family dislikes her. Old Mrs. Gu doesn't allow her grandson to marry a divorced woman."

"Is her child Leon's?"

"I think so. She was going to marry Leon after divorcing Quarmy, but Old Mrs. Gu stopped her. She had been Leon's mistress for more than three years and given birth to a child. When she knew that Madrigal and Quarmy were about to get engaged, she came back to destroy their engagement." Eva was really good at lying.

"Monica is very stubborn. She thinks that Madrigal's mother robbed her mother's husband and that Madrigal stole her father's love, so she wants to take revenge on Madrigal. Jenny knows it, so she doesn't like Monica. But Quarmy is kind and cheated by Monica. He has always believed her."

Monica did appear when Quarmy and Madrigal were about to get engaged. Mary was even more convinced. "If that's the case, why didn't you expose her?"

"She is good at lying. She not only lied to Quarmy, but also made him believe that she had had a hard time after leaving him. Take what happened last time for example. Monica and Roland conspired to frame Madrigal, saying that Madrigal wanted to slander Monica. I know Madrigal well. She is gentle and kind, so she would not do this kind of thing. Monica did this to destroy Madrigal's reputation. Because of Monica, many people began to scold Madrigal."

"Yes, I also feel strange about this matter. Didn't they say that Miss Jane asked someone to smear Monica? Why did people suddenly start to attack Miss Jane?

"It's all because of Monica. In order to ruin Madrigal's reputation, she could do anything. Quarmy had no choice, so he talked about this matter on TV, trying to protect Madrigal. It's a pity that Quarmy and Madrigal broke up. If Monica loved Quarmy, I wouldn't say anything. But Monica did everything just for revenge. Quarmy is so softhearted that he wanted to make up for Monica. But Monica refused his compensation. She just wants Quarmy to feel guilty and break up with Madrigal. Quamry actually believed in such a vicious woman! Poor Madrigal!"

Mary remembered that last time, Quarmy was sent to the hospital because of Monica. Monica knew that Quamry had a bad stomach, but she still asked him to drink more. If Monica really loved Quarmy,she would not have been so cruel. "Monica went too far!"

"Yes, last Friday is Jenny's birthday. Jenny invited Madrigal to dinner. Monica went crazy again. She was afraid that Quarmy would be with Madrigal again, so she kept calling Quarmy. Quarmy was supposed to accompany his mother at home that night, but she asked Quarmy's assistant to take him away. Jenny's birthday was ruined by her. Jenny was so angry that he burst into tears."

"No wonder there were scars on Quarmy's face." Mary said.

"Yes, she is no different from a shrew. When she was Quarmy's wife, she often quarreled with Jenny. She often made a mess of the family." Eva didn't know that there were scars on Quarmy's face. When she heard what Mary said, she immediately added.

"This woman is so hateful!" Mary was really angry. "We can't let her cheat Quarmy like this. We must find a way to deal with her!"

After Eva left, Mary thought a lot. Before hearing what Eva said, she didn't hate Monica. But now she thought that she had to talk to Monica.

Mary made an appointment with Monica. Monica didn't like Mary. Although Quarmy said that he had nothing to do with Mary, Monica didn't think so. As a young woman, why did Mary have to be someone's lover? Even if Mary's relationship with Quarmy was not true, Monica still felt uncomfortable.

Since Mary was educated, her relationship with Quarmy could only prove that she was a bad woman. Both of them did not have a good impression of each other, so the result of this meeting could be imagined.

"What can I do for you, Miss Tian?" Monica went straight to the point.

"I'd like to talk to you about Quarmy."

The word "Quarmy" made Monica uncomfortable. "Quarmy? Did I hear it wrong?"

"No. I want to ask you, do you love him or not?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Monica retorted. She knew that Mary liked Quarmy. She felt disgusted because Mary reminded her of Madrigal. With these women around, she would never have anything to do with Quarmy. "Of course. If you really love Quarmy, I hope you two can be happy. On the contrary, I hope you don't pester Quarmy anymore. Quarmy has had a hard time these years. I hope you can let him go."

Monica was annoyed by her words. She looked coldly at Mary. "Aren't you going too far? Who are you? What qualifications do you have to say this to me?"

"I... I'm his friend..."

"Friend?" Monica sneered. "There are different types of friends, including normal friends, life-and-death friends, and friends who are not in proper relationship. I wonder what kind of friends you and Quarmy are?"

Monica indicated that Mary was not in proper relationship with Quarmy. Mary's face suddenly turned red. "Monica, don't go too far!"

"Did I go too far? I don't think so." Monica spread her hands.

"Let me tell you, there's nothing between me and Quarmy. It's not your turn to blame us!"

"I don't care. I am not interested in blaming others. If you don't want to be humiliated, please don't come to me for Quarmy. I feel sick. As far as I know, you are not Quarmy's friend. Please don't flatter yourself. "You... Who do you think you are? If you didn't force Quarmy to be with you and cheat him, I wouldn't have come to you." Mary retorted.

"What?" Monica was amused. "I don't mind if you want to be with Quamry and cheat him. The premise is that you are able to do so." "Don't you feel ashamed? Monica, I am very clear about what you did. I advise you to leave Quarmy immediately. Otherwise, I will expose you."

"Expose me? I wonder what did you know about me." Monica sneered with coldness in her eyes.

"Don't you know what you've done? You took your sister's boyfriend, caused her to miscarry, and even ruined her reputation..." Mary scolded Monica without hesitation. "You're the most hypocritical and ruthless woman I've ever seen. One day, I'll expose you and make you feel ashamed."

"Heh!" Monica couldn't help laughing. Mary was defending Madrigal? She wondered how much Madrigal paid Mary. "Are you angry because I am with Quarmy or you feel sorry for Madrigal?"

Mary was speechless. She originally wanted to talk to Monica, but the two of them were actually quarreling. Monica's eyes were full of undisguised contempt and disdain. "In fact, you don't need to be so angry with me. You are so young and beautiful. You can work hard to seduce Quarmy!"

"I'm not as shameless as you! How can you still be proud of yourself? If you liked Quarmy, I wouldn't say anything. However, you stay with him just for revenge. Your character is distorted and you don't want anyone to be happy!" Mary was so angry that she scolded Monica without scruple, "If I am a mistress, what about you? Are you nobler than me? Aren't you a mistress, too?"

What? What nonsense was Mary talking? Was a mistress defending another mistress now? "I have never said that I am a noble person. Please don't pretend to be noble in front of me. I have seen many disgusting people, but I haven't seen a mistress defending another mistress. Mary, you really impressed me. But so what? You'd better try your best to seduce Quarmy, instead of coming to me and humiliating yourself!"

"You!" Mary was so angry that she trembled. Monica was really vicious. "Don't think that you can do anything just because Quarmy loves you. Monica, God knows everything. You will be punished."

"Well said. God knows everything! Mary, listen! You're not the most important woman to Quarmy. Even if Quarmy spoils you, you don't have the right to scold me. I'll forgive you this time. Next time, if you dare to come to me, don't blame me for beating you up!"

Monica was too arrogant! Monica had left for a while, but Mary was still trembling. Why was Monica so shameless? Why?!

Monica was also angry. How dared Mary come to scold her? Only fools would believe that Quarmy had nothing to do with Mary.

Before she divorced Quarmy, Madrigal came to the Huo Family every day, which made her really annoyed. Mary wanted to make the same mistake Madrigal did? What the hell?

Fortunately, she did not intend to be with Quarmy, otherwise, she would suffer again.

Quarmy came back in the evening. He seemed to be in a good mood. After dinner, they went out for a walk. Once again, he mentioned Coco. He said that he had contacted an expert. In order to take care of Coco, he wanted Coco to return home.

Withe Madrigal and Mary around, Monica would never believe Quarmy's words. Looking at his affectionate look, Monica felt a little sick, so she continued to refuse.

Seeing that, Quarmy proposed to visit Coco with her. Monica did not refuse. She said that they could do it after a few days. In ten days, she could know if she was pregnant.

Mary met Eva at night and told her what happened this day angrily. Eva was a little surprised. She slandered Monica because she wanted Mary to hate Monica. In this way, Mary would help her to deal with Monica. But she did not expect that Mary would go to Monica. Fortunately, they quarreled. If they had a good talk, Eva might have lost all her previous efforts.

Seeing Mary's angry look, Eva knew that it was a chance for her. She comforted Mary. "Don't be angry. Now that we know she is such a person, we won't be fooled."

"She's so arrogant. Why doesn't Jenny think of a way to make her leave Quarmy?" Mary was still angry.

"Jenny failed! She has thought of many ways, but Quarmy never listened to her. Jenny and Quarmy are now against each other. What a pity."

"Are we going to let Monica go?"

"Quarmy believes her and listens to her. We have no way to deal with her."

"Yes, that's why she is so arrogant. How could Quarmy, such a smart person, be deceived by her?" "Isn't Quarmy kind? Monica used his kindness. Quarmy is already in his thirties. Today, Jenny even called to complain that she would never have a grandson in her life."

Mary naturally had a deep understanding of Quarmy's kindness. After listening to Eva's words, she felt that Jenny was so pitiful. "Poor Jenny!"

"You tell me! My heart ached for her tears. I fell really sorry for Jenny. Since I have such a good relationship with her, I have to help her. So I didn't refuse her request."

"What's her request?"

"She asked me for your help."

"Mom, didn't you say that we couldn't tell her about our relationship?"

"I didn't tell her our relationship. Don't you often stay with Quarmy? She wants you to have a child for Quarmy. If you agree, she will compensate you." Eva wanted to know if Mary liked Quarmy.

"No!" Mary shook her head. She had a crush on Quarmy, but Quarmy had no feelings for her at all. They were just normal friends. How could she have a child for him? "Mom, to tell you the truth, Quarmy doesn't like me at all. Although everyone is saying that I have a relationship with him, it's not true. Quarmy just regards me as an ordinary friend, so it will not work."

"Is that so?" Eva pondered for a moment. "To be honest, do you like Quarmy?"

"I... Of course I like him." Mary was a little shy.

"Since you like him, why don't you have a baby for him? Mom can help you if you want.1' Eva continued to ask.

"Mom, this is not the point. Although I like Quarmy, I won't do such an immoral thing for him!" Mary was very determined.

Eva held her hand. "You are indeed my dear daughter. I knew you wouldn't let me down, so I refused Jenny's proposal and advised her to ask for Madrigal's help. After all, Madrigal did it before, and she loves Quarmy. She is the most suitable one."

"Didn't you say that Quarmy refused to have sex with Madrigal?"

"Jenny means that as long as Madrigal is pregnant with Quamry's child, he will definitely give up on Monica. But it's not easy! Monica doesn't give Quarmy any chance to meet Madrigal!" Eva sighed. "That's why I need your help."

"What can I do for you?" Mary was a little confused.

"Quarmy is defenseless against you. Mom wants you to ask Quarmy out. Then, you can get him drunk and let him stay with Madrigal."

"This..." Mary hesitated. Quarmy was

indeed defenseless against her, but should she really do so? Would Quarmy forgive her?

"I know that this will be really hard for you, but only you can make it." Eva noticed Mary's hesitation. "To tell you the truth, we really don't want to go against Quarmy's will and let him have sex with Madrigal. We just want to let him mistakenly think that he has slept with Madrigal."

"I'm confused. In this way, how can Madrigal get pregnant?" "Didn't Madrigal use Quarmy's sperm to make herself a surrogate before? We still have Quarmy's sperm. After misleading Quarmy, Jenny will use his sperm to let Madrigal get pregnant again. As long as Madrigal is pregnant, Quarmy will leave Monica."

Mary was still hesitating. Eva persuaded her, "This is a good thing for Quarmy. He is now fooled by Monica, so he doesn't even know what he is doing. Think about it carefully, do you want Monica to keep controlling Quarmy?"

"Are you worried that Quarmy will blame you? Don't worry, I will let you go abroad to study soon. After three or five years, when you come back, Quarmy and Madrigal will have married. He will thank you for everything you did."

Mary hesitated for a while and finally nodded. "I'll try to ask him out, but I'm not sure if I can succeed."

"As long as you follow my instructions, you'll definitely succeed!"

Xanjer felt uneasy these days. After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that he had done a very stupid thing. He should not have compromised with Eva for a moment of peace.

He knew clearly what kind of person Eva was. She would never keep her word. Instead of waiting for Eva to come to him again, he'd better figure out a way to deal with it. After thinking for a while, he came to Roland.

Xanjer's visit surprised Roland. He invited Xanjer to sit down and served tea for him. Xanjer took the tea and took a sip. "I came here today to ask you for a favor." "I'll try my best to help you." Roland said straightforwardly.

"This is very easy for you. I would like to ask you to help me and Moni settle abroad."

"Is Monica willing to leave?"

"Please help me with the immigration formalities first. She will leave with me. After all, her purpose of coming back is just to save Coco."

"Well, I'll ask someone to do it right away." Roland agreed.

It made Xanjer very happy. He opened his bag, took out a few drawings, and placed them in front of Roland. "I won't let you help me in vain. This is a reward."

"What are these?" Roland picked up the drawings and looked at Xanjer in surprise. The drawings of the stadium? Where did Xanjer get them?

"I'm Dave. These are the drawings of the stadium." Xanjer said.

"Are you Dave?" Roland came to his senses after a moment of shock. No wonder he thought Xanjer was strange.

"I gave you the design of the deputy stadium, and I gave the design of the main stadium to Eva. I think she will give it to Quarmy soon."

"Do you want VSUS and Queen to cooperate with each other in this project?" Roland asked.

"No! Although the sports meeting will be more perfect with the cooperation of you two, to be honest, I never thought of letting Quarmy's company get the project. I designed it only for Moni. I originally planned

to give all these drawings to you, but something unexpectedly happened.1' Xanjer told him about Eva's threat, and explained his relationship with Hannah.

"I am not the real Xanjer. The real Xanjer died of an accident not long after I returned to Jiang City. At that time, my parents died, and I was devastated by bankruptcy. In order to prevent others from finding me, Hannah let me live in the tube- shaped apartment she bought for Xanjer. Only Zoe, Hannah, and Eva knew who I am. At that time, I just wanted to avoid the secular troubles, and I didn't expect it to be my

weakness."

"Eva is your sister? I really didn't expect that. Although you are not the real Xanjer, you are still Monica's uncle. You haven't done anything wrong. Why are you afraid of Eva's threat?" "Back then, I lived in seclusion in Jiang City not only because I was devastated, but also because I was heartbroken." Francisco sighed. "I love Hannah as deeply as your father, but my love for her is not allowed. Eva threatened me that if I didn't help her, she would tell others my feelings for Hannah. I didn't want Hannah to be criticized after her death, nor did I want Moni to know the truth." "You and Hannah are not related by blood, and you haven't shown your feelings. I think Monica will understand you." Roland thought for a moment and comforted him.

"She won't. I'm old now and I just want a peaceful life. After thinking for a long time, I still believe that Eva is not reliable. I don't want to be disturbed by her again, so I choose to leave here. That's good for everyone."

"Well, since you have made up your mind, leave everything to me. I will inform you soon."
