Every Breath You Take

Chapter 100

Although Summer was a director, she used to be a paparazzi. When she saw it, she almost instinctively

took out her mobile phone to take pictures.

Only then did Monica react. "What are you doing?"

"What am I doing? This old b*tch actually hooks up with another man. If I show it to Mayor Jane, what

will happen?" Summer smiled proudly. "At that time, the old b*tch and her daughter will definitely be

kicked out of the house. They will never bully you!"

Monica was amused by her words. "The photo is so vague. We don't even know whether she is that old

b*tch or not. Besides, it's just a photo. Even if it's her, she can deny it. It's not going to work!"

The car in front of them began to move. Summer thought Monica was right. First of all, she couldn't be

completely sure that it was Yale. Besides, Yale was so scheming that she wouldn't be defeated by just

a photo. But today's discovery was a good sign. If this woman was really Yale, then her relationship

with that man was definitely not simple. "Moni, call the Jane family and ask if Yale is at home. If not,

you can absolutely be sure that the woman just now is her."

Summer's words made sense. Monica immediately called the Jane family. It was Lancy who answered

the phone. Monica first asked if Zoe was at home, Lancy said no. "What about Yale and her daughter?"

Lancy's answer was still the same. Madrigal went out with her friends, and Yale went out at noon.

Lancy thought Yale was getting another facial.

Monica couldn't believe that Yale had been getting a facial for so long. She carefully asked Lancy how

often Yale did it.

Lancy said that Yale only did it when Zoe was not at home. It would always take a long time. After

hanging up the phone, Summer smiled evilly. "It seems that this matter is not that simple. Why don't we

keep an eye on her and see what's going on?"

"How?" Monica asked.

"We can hire a private detective."

"Forget it, I have no time to care about her. Let's talk about it later."

When Monica returned to XS Garden, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Seeing Monica

stumbling into the living room with Summer's help, Quarmy was so angry that his heart was burning

with fire. This woman went too far.

She went out for dinner without telling him and even came back drunk. He suppressed his anger and

took her from Summer. When Summer handed Monica to Quarmy, she secretly pinched her wrist and

reminded her to take care of herself.

When Summer left, Quarmy carried Monica, who was reeking of alcohol, up the stairs. Monica was

thin, so it was easy for him to pick her up. It was not too far from the living room downstairs to the

bedroom on the second floor. Quarmy's face was gloomy.

Monica heard him gasping. She knew that he must be extremely angry. She was a little nervous, so

she opened her "drunken" eyes and stole a glance at him. When she saw his eyes, she immediately

closed her eyes and muttered, "My head hurts. Put me down! I want to sleep!"

Quarmy ignored her and held her to open the door of the bedroom. He put her on the bed to help her

take off her coat. When Monica touched the soft bed, she was relaxed both physically and mentally.

She thought she could avoid having sex with him this night. She was only a few days away from

ovulation. As long as she could get pregnant during ovulation, she would immediately leave him.

She was in a good mood. Quarmy picked up her clothes and was about to put them aside. Suddenly,

he found that the smell of wine on the clothes was strong. He was stunned. Then, he put the clothes

under his nose to smell it. His face suddenly changed.

He stared at Monica, who was lying on the bed, for a few seconds. Suddenly, he picked her up and

took her into the bathroom. Monica's heart sank. "What does he want to do?"

While she was thinking, Quarmy opened the water, took off her clothes quickly, and then began to

bathe her. Monica was really angry. Damn Quarmy. She had no scruffiness except for a hint of alcohol.

Was he crazy? Why was he bathing her?

However, she had to continue acting. Fortunately, the bathroom was full of fog, so she didn't need to

act too well. After a long time, Quarmy finally got her out of the shower. Then he dried her body and

took her back to the bed.

Lying on the bed, Monica breathed a sigh of relief. "I can finally sleep." She thought. However, she was

wrong again. Quarmy also went to bed and held her in his arms. Monica felt really uncomfortable.

While she was complaining in her heart, Quarmy said to her, "Stop acting. I know you are not drunk!"

Monica did not move, but she was really confused. How did he know that she was not drunk? Was he

testing her? "You can't pretend to be drunk by pouring some wine on your clothes. Monica, the smell of

alcohol on your body has been washed away by me."

No wonder he insisted on helping her take a bath. Monica was so angry that she wanted to scold him.

Forget it, she'd better pretend to be asleep. What could he do?

Seeing that, Quarmy reached out to tickle her. Monica was ticklish. Finally, she couldn't help but open

her eyes.

"What are you doing? Why don't you let me sleep?"

"How dare you pretend to be drunk? Monica, good for you!" Quarmy looked at her with ridicule.

"What are you saying?" Monica stared at Quarmy and said confidently, "My head hurts because of

drinking. I want to sleep, okay?"

"It's just an excuse. That's not how I remember you when you were drunk." Quarmy said slowly.

"There's nothing unchanging in this world." Monica sneered.

"No matter how much you change, you can't change your character and temper, can you?"

" I doubt that. It's a materialistic society. Even vows will turn into lies. What else can't it change?"

"Monica! My vows have never changed!"

"Stop, Mr. Huo! It's not the time to talk about this now." Monica glared at Quarmy. "Do what you want to

do as soon as possible. It's late. I have to go to work tomorrow!"

Quarmy was angry. "Monica, am I such a person in your eyes? Isn't easy for me to have sex with other

women?"

"Then what do you want to do?" Monica looked impatient.

"Don't you know what I want to do? Monica, we have been husband and wife for five years. I don't

believe that you don't know me at all."

She used to think that she knew him very well, but later she found that she was wrong. "Mr. Huo, I think

you should be very clear about our relationship. I don't expect to get anything from you. Naturally, I

have no time to guess what you are thinking. Be direct."

"Monica, I want to start over with you again!"

"It is no use crying over spilt milk." Monica sneered. "What's more, what right does a man with a

fiancee have to say this to other single women?"

"I... Monica, I have a reason. Please let me explain..."

Quarmy was so disgusting. Yesterday, he was still affectionately persuading Madrigal to take medicine

for her health. Today, he actually said that he was forced to do so. Monica hated him so much.

"Mr. Huo, I'm not interested in your explanation. I'm not a fool. If you really mean it, you should be

single first. Otherwise, forget it!"

"Moni, are you really willing to start over with me?" Quarmy was very happy. "Don't worry, I won't let

you wait for too long!"

"It's too late. I'm very tired! I have to go to work tomorrow. Let's talk about it later!" Monica turned

around and wrapped her head with a quilt. She did not promise him. He got her wrong, but she didn't

care. She was sure that Quarmy would not give up on Madrigal.

Quarmy thought that he had seen the hope. As long as he could cure Madrigal, he would not owe her

anything. He had already done a lot. In order not to let Madrigal feel burdened, he asked Noah to make

an appointment with a famous doctor of Chinese medicine. He excused himself to recuperate her and

took her to see the doctor.

The doctor said that Madrigal was a little weak and she would be better after taking medicine. This was

their code word. If Madrigal's disease was not serious, the doctor would answer it in this way. If it was

serious, it would be another answer. The doctor later gave Madrigal a lot of Chinese medicine. In order

to prevent Madrigal from suspecting, he also gave some medicine to Quarmy.

After that, Quarmy called the doctor. The doctor said that Madrigal was just a little weak. After taking

his medicine, she could go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.

Quarmy decided to take Madrigal to the hospital when she was done taking medicine. As long as she

was fine, he would no longer have to feel guilty. Monica was surprised that Quamry actually allowed

her to sleep. She felt relieved and then fell asleep.

At the same time, Madrigal was having a lot in her mind.

One thing was about Quarmy. He treated her well recently and even started to care about her health.

He said that she was too thin, so he took her to see a famous doctor who was said to be very good at

keeping fit.

Quarmy also called her every day to remind her to take medicine. That medicine was actually very

bitter, but since Quarmy cared about her body so much, she had to force herself to drink it three times

a day on time. She would still call Quarmy to complain about the bitterness.

Quarmy was not impatient at all. Every time she called him, he would gently persuade her to take

medicine for her health. He said that he was also taking it.

This matter made the relationship between Madrigal and Quarmy become much better. Madrigal even

faintly expected that Quarmy would suddenly propose to her.

It was said that good things would come in pairs. Since Quarmy started to treat her well, Monica, that

jinx, had also moved away from the Jane family. Without Monica's sarcasm, her life was getting better

again. But this night, she got angry again at a party.

The rich lady who had been competing with her said coldly that she saw Quarmy in the hospital last

night. He was accompanied by a very beautiful woman.

Madrigal pretended to be calm, but she began to guess who that woman was. There were not many

women around Quarmy. Was it Mary?

Because of this, she was no longer in the mood to stay at the party, so she left early. On the way home,

she called Lassie and asked her where Quarmy was. As a result, Lassie reported that Quarmy hadn't

been home in two days.

Madrigal's heart sank. How could he not go home for two days? Something must have happened.

While Madrigal was thinking, she suddenly saw Yale with sunglasses and a hat. She was getting out of

a man's car.

Didn't Mom say that she was going to get a facial? Why was she with a man?

She immediately called Yale and asked her where she was. Yale said that she was in a beauty salon. If

she answered that she was with a friend, Madrigal would not suspect her. But her answer made

Madrigal worried.

"Will my mother cheat on my father?" She was shocked by her thought. No, her mother must be just a

friend of that man. But why was she wearing sunglasses and a hat when she was with a friend?

Not long after Madrigal returned home, Yale came back. Yale asked her why she came back so early.

Madrigal looked at her clothes and was extremely surprised. It was not the same one she just saw her

in on the road. Why did her mother change her clothes? She became more worried.

She returned to her room quietly and lay on the bed. Her heart was in a mess. What happened this

night made her upset.

She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. No, she had to figure out what Quarmy was doing

recently. In addition, she had to figure out the relationship between her mother and that man.

Xanjer didn't know that Monica was working at a new company. One day, Monica came to see him.

Xanjer thought that he hadn't seen Roland for a long time, so he asked her casually, "Why haven't I

seen Roland recently?"

Monica was silent for a moment. Then, she answered, "Uncle, Roland is engaged! I'm no longer his

employee."

"When did this happen?" Xanjer was surprised.

"It's been a few days."

"This bastard! He's the same as his father!" Xanjer was really angry. He had thought that Roland

deserved Monica's love, but he was wrong. It was just like what happened between Jim and Hannah.

Hannah was waiting for Jim, but Jim married Gracie without giving Hannah an explanation.

"Don't blame him! It's my fault!" Monica smiled bitterly and told Xanjer what had happened.

Xanjer sighed deeply. "Moni, things aren't like this. Your mother didn't do anything wrong. Roland is too

extreme in character... Forget it, it's fate..." Xanjer sighed.

"Uncle, both Roland and my mother are innocent. The hateful one is Jim. Since he has married, he

should have been responsible for his family. How could he abandon his wife and son?" Monica was

angry when she thought of Jim showing up at her mother's grave with roses. "He still went to mourn my

mom. It's disgusting!"

Xanjer sighed. "Relationships are complicated. Jim may have his own reasons!"

"No matter what, he can't be so shameless!" Monica was angry. "Is he still a human?"

Looking at Monica's angry face, Xanjer thought of Eva's words. What would happen if she told Monica

that he was not Xanjer? His heart sank.

After engagement, Roland returned to Jiang City. This time, Beck obviously felt that Roland had

changed a lot. He was no longer a playboy. Instead, he became calm and quiet.

Beck shook his head. No wonder someone said that only after experiencing unforgettable love could

people become mature. Roland must have given his heart to Monica.

Not long after Roland entered the company, Xanjer suddenly appeared. Beck took him to Roland's

office and then closed the door.

Roland stood up and poured tea for Xanjer. Xanjer did not take it."l didn't know you were engaged until

now. Congratulations!"

"I'm sorry!" Roland lowered his head.

"Sorry? You've disappointed me! I always thought that you would be different from your father, but I

was wrong!" Xanjer was very angry.

"It's all my fault. I wanted to make her happy, but I couldn't convince myself that nothing had

happened!" After knowing everything, he thought a lot. He couldn't forget Monica. Even if she was the

daughter of his most hated woman, he was sure that he couldn't forget her. But now the point was not

whether he would accept Monica, but whether Monica could accept him if she knew the truth. He didn't

want her to be sad, so he chose to give up on her.

"Roland! Do you know what love is? How can you blame your father's fault on another innocent

woman?"

Roland remained silent. He understood Xanjer's anger but he didn't want to defend himself, because it

was useless.

Seeing that, Xanjer became even angrier. "Roland, you will regret it! Let me tell you, you hate the

wrong person. Monica's mother is innocent. You are not qualified to hate her. It's all your father's fault.

He is a man without responsibility. If you want to hate, you can only hate him! He's a bastard!"

"I know!" Roland was very calm. "I don't hate Monica's mother."

"Then why are you engaged to another woman?" Xanjer stared at Roland. He was really disappointed.

"Roland, you're a jerk! Just like your father!"

"I know I'm a jerk, but what would you do if you were me? Do you want me to keep it a secret forever?

If Monica knows that my mother caused her mother's death, how should I face her? Isn't she going to

be in pain forever?" Roland told Xanjer what he was worried about.

"Hannah's death has nothing to do with your mother!" Xanjer denied it. Hannah's death was caused by

Zoe's cheating. It was just an accident.

"I asked Jim. He said that Monica's mother had a car accident after she went out to meet my mom. He

said that it was caused by my mother. Both my mom and my grandpa didn't deny it."

"No! They must have made a mistake!" Xanjer shook her head. He remembered clearly that Hannah

had called him before the accident and said that she was very regretful to marry Zoe.

He asked her what had happened. Hannah answered with a sob, "Zoe has a mistress and an

illegitimate daughter." Xanjer asked her who the mistress was, but she refused to tell him. She just kept

crying.

In Xanjer's impression, Hannah was very strong. Her tears made him very worried. After knowing

where she was, he immediately took a taxi and rushed over. When he arrived, he didn't see her. Later,

in the hospital, he saw her, who was dying. She told him to take care of her daughter and bring her

ashes back to Jiang City.

Later, Xanjer knew that Zoe's mistress was Hannah's best friend Yale. No wonder Hannah would be so

painful.

Judging from Hannah's call and the time of the car accident, he could tell that she did not have the time

to meet Roland's mother. He was sure that her death had nothing to do with her.

Roland was shocked. He always felt that this matter was not so simple. Since Hannah's death had

nothing to do with his mother, why didn't his mother deny it?

After Xanjer left, he couldn't sit still and decided to go back to ask his mother.

Grade had recovered. She committed suicide not because she wanted to threaten Roland, but because

she really wanted to die. Her husband didn't like her, and her only son fall in love with the daughter of

her rival. He even misunderstood her. All of these made her very sad and desperate, so she chose to

commit suicide.

Unexpectedly, it caused Roland and Mandy's engagement. After Roland went back to Jiang City,

Mandy came to visit Grade every day. The more Grade looked at Mandy, the more she liked her. As a

gentle, kind and beautiful lady, Mandy was more suitable for Roland than Hannah's daughter.

Of course, it never occurred to Gracie that her son would come back to ask about Hannah's death

again. Finally, she told him the truth.

She did want to ask Hannah out, but Hannah refused her resolutely. "I'm married and I will never do

anything to hurt my family. Please don't call me again!"

Gracie didn't believe it, so she asked someone to follow Hannah, trying to force her to meet her.

The person who followed Hannah said that Hannah had entered a tea room in City A. Hearing that,

Gracie rushed over. When she arrived, Hannah was meeting someone in a room.

She had been waiting in the hall. After about half an hour, she saw Hannah stumbling out of the room.

At that time, her face was full of tears, and her expression looked very sad. She stood up and followed

her. Hannah ran out of the tea room and went to the telephone pavilion to make a phone call. She cried

as she called.

Later, Hannah walked out of the telephone pavilion and went to the street. She was wiping her tears as

she walked. When she stumbled to the middle of the road, a big truck suddenly came to her. Gracie

saw her get hit by a car with her own eyes. She was still a little scared when she recalled it. The truck

immediately ran away, while Hannah was lying on the ground. The ground was covered with blood.

She saw her struggling in a pool of blood, but she didn't come to save her. If she had been willing to

send Hannah to the hospital, Hannah might not have died. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

But at that time, she chose not to do anything. She thought that her unhappiness was caused by

Hannah. If Hannah died, maybe Jim would come back and her son would not lose his father at such a

young age.

Between Hannah's life and her happiness, she chose the latter. Later, every time when she was free,

Hannah's appearance would appear in her mind. She was covered in blood, struggling in agony.

Hannah's death didn't change Jim's mind. On the contrary, he was more distant from her. Someone told

him that Gracie had made an appointment with Hannah, so he blamed Hannah's death on her.

Since Hannah died, Jim had never returned home. Gracie felt that this was retribution. She chose not

to save Hannah, so God punished her and let her live in sufferings. Therefore, she became a Buddhist.

Jim was right. She was indeed repenting for her indifference and selfishness at that time.

It never occurred to Roland that the truth was like this. "Since you didn't do it, why didn't you explain it

to Jim? He's always misunderstanding you."

"What's the point of explaining? Jim hates me so much that he won't believe my explanation. Besides, I

did show up at the scene of Hannah's accident. Although I didn't kill her, I didn't save her. That's the

truth!"

"Jim doesn't believe you, but I do. Why didn't you explain to me? Why did you admit that you killed

Hannah before?"

"You are my son, but you came to question me for someone else. Is the one who gave birth to you in

your eyes no better than an outsider?" Gracie asked.

"But you shouldn't have lied. Do you know that I have made a terrible decision because of your words?

I have given up on my beloved woman! Mom, can you bear to see your son live a life without love like

you?" Roland was in great pain.

"What are you saying?" Gracie was angry. "Mandy is such a good person. Why don't you like her?"

"Aren't you a good person? Why doesn't Jim like you?" Roland asked.

"I... That's because he's crazy!"

"I'm also crazy!" said Roland with a wry smile. "Mom! To tell you the truth, I only love Monica. I'm

engaged to Mandy because you like her and I thought I couldn't be with your beloved woman. In order

to make you happy, I chose her! Mom, you've had a hard time yourself. Why do you want others to be

as miserable as you?"

"Son, I did it for you! Mandy is a perfect woman. I really like her, so I want her to be your wife."

"Mom, if you want me to be happy, you'd better convince Mandy not to marry me."

"Son, what do you mean?" Gracie was stunned.

"What do I mean? I have already made an appointment with Mandy. If she still wants to marry me after

three years, I will marry her. But you have to tell her clearly that your current life will be her future!" With

that said, he left with big strides.

Gracie was shocked! She was very clear about what she had been through these years. It was hard to

imagine that a young and beautiful woman like Mandy would also face such a life. "Jim, you are a

complete bastard. You've never cared about your son, but your son is as infatuated as you!"

Roland left his mother's yard angrily and went back to his room. In a bad mood, he did not go to see his

grandpa. Instead, he went straight to the airport and was ready to return to Jiang City. On the way, he

suddenly remembered something. His mother said that Hannah was meeting someone in the tea room.

In the end, she ran out and had a car accident. Just now, he was so angry that he forgot to ask his

mother who Hannah was meeting at that time.

He felt confused, so he went back to the Wang family again. Gracie was angry after she heard that he

went straight to the airport. When she saw him again, she was freaked out. "Why are you back again?"

"Mom, do you know who met Hannah in the tea room?"

Grade didn't expect her son to come back because of Hannah. Her face darkened and she refused to

answer him.

"Mom, just tell me!" Roland begged.

"I don't know!"

"Really?"

Seeing her son's face change, Grade softened her tone. "At that time, the door of the private room

opened and I glanced inside. It was a very beautiful woman who met Hannah."

"A very beautiful woman?" Roland thought of what Xanjer said. Hannah's death was not because of his

mother, but because of Zoe's affair. So the person who met Hannah was Yale? He called Beck. "Take a

picture of Mayor Jane's wife and send it to me immediately."

Beck immediately found Yale's photo and sent it to Roland. Roland showed it to Grade, but Gracie was

not sure." Maybe it's her, but I'm not sure!"

Although Gracie was not sure, Roland had already guessed the whole story. Yale must have

deliberately told Hannah about Zoe's cheating. It was unacceptable for anyone, so when Hannah knew

it, she ran out sadly and was killed by a car.

The real cause of this incident was Yale. Only she and her daughter benefited from it. After Hannah

died, she became Zoe's legal wife and Madrigal became a daughter of the mayor. However, poor

Monica lost her mother and father overnight. But it was not all. Yale's daughter went to seduce

Monica's husband, which made Monica lose everything. Monica had suffered a lot, but God did not

sympathize with her. Her son was now seriously ill. If it weren't for Yale and her daughter, Monica's life

wouldn't have become like this.

There was coldness in Roland's eyes. Yale and her daughter took everything from Monica, so he would

not let them go! He would definitely make them give everything back to Monica!
