Every Breath You Take

Chapter 81

Quarmy parked the car at the door, and Jenny's car also arrived at the door.

The mother and son went into the villa with a gloomy face. The servant was shocked when she saw

Jenny. "What happened?"

Jenny didn't answer and threw the bag on the sofa. "Let's talk!"

"Okay!" Quarmy sat on the sofa. He looked at Jenny coldly. "What do you want to say?"

Looking at his indifferent look, Jenny was angry. "Quarmy, how can you be so cold-blooded? I'm your

mother and I was bullied by that woman. Look at how arrogant she is!"

"That's your own fault!" Quarmy sneered. "As a well-educated person, how can you interfere with her

dinner in public, and even attack her in front of her child? Monica already showed her mercy!"

"How can you talk to me like this?" Jenny shouted angrily, "Your father died early, so I had to manage

the company and took care of you. Is it easy for me to take care of you for so many years?"

"Since I was sensible, you've been talking about it for thousands of times. Mom, aren't you tired?"

Quarmy asked. "What single mom doesn't have a hard time? Compared with others, at least you have

a company left by Dad. You have enough property, so you won't be homeless. You have never had to

worry about living, but others are not so lucky." Quarmy said it on purpose. Thinking of Monica's life, he

felt very uncomfortable. If his mother hadn't been tying him down with filial piety, he and Monica

wouldn't have become strangers.

He wouldn't have blamed himself like this, and wouldn't have suffered. They would have had children of

their own and a happy life.

Thinking of these things, his anger burst out like a volcano. "It's said that maternal love is selfless and

never asked for returns. Why have I never felt this? Since I can remember, you have tied me up with

morality. You even threatened me with your life. The other mothers want their sons to be happy, but

what about you? You only care about the company, power and wealth. I always want to ask you, am I

really your own son?"

"Quarmy, what do you mean? What happened?" Jenny looked at her son as if she didn't know him.

"I just want to ask you, why do you torture me like this?" Quarmy's eyes were red with blood. "I would

rather you throw me away to marry another man than to tie me up with filial piety. I would rather live in

the orphanage than live a life that is worse than death!"

Quarmy's words made Jenny's eyes directly round. How could a son say those to his mother? "You

disobedient bastard..."

Before she finished her words, Quarmy interrupted her immediately, "Disobedient? If so, how would I

allow you to endlessly abuse my beloved woman? How would I drive her out of the house, and let her

have nothing to leave? You have been tying me up for decades with filial piety, aren't you tired?"

"How... how can you say that to me?" Jenny trembled with anger. Her son had been listening to her for

so many years that she had never checked her words and deeds. She always thought that what she

had done was for her son's good. Now she suddenly heard that, how could she stand it?

She finally knew her son was defending Monica. "How dare you get angry at me for that woman? What

the hell did she do to make you hate me?" Jenny shouted, "If she hadn't gone against me, would I have

done that to her?"

"She went against you? Now you still think so. Do you think I'm blind?" Quarmy was extremely

disappointed with his mother. "Since Monica married me, you'd rejected and picked on her. She put up

with everything for me, but you'd just made it worse by humiliating her and torturing her. Mom, you're

also a woman. Why can't you think for her?"

"Didn't I think for her? She couldn't get pregnant so I took her around to seek medical advice. I'd never

given up on her in the five years you'd been married. If it weren't for her cheating and her vicious

methods of pushing Madrigal to lose her baby, would I do this to her?"

Quarmy's heart was filled with anger when he saw his mother's stubborn look. "With an evil mother-in-

law like you around, no wonder she couldn't have a baby! Didn't you always say Monica was sterile?

How does it feel to see a beautiful child beside her?"

Jenny couldn't say a word at once.

"Mom, don't you have anything to say?" Quarmy looked at his mother sarcastically. "I..." Jenny had

nothing else to say.

"Do you want to know what kind of life Monica had been through after being driven out by me? I'm

telling you, she was forced to marry another man after being driven out by me, a ruthless billionaire.

She doesn't love that man at all, but she had to marry him for livelihood."

"I didn't force her. I just asked you to divorce. I didn't say that I wouldn't give her money." Jenny

retorted.

"Yes, it's my idea not to give her money, but do you know why I'm so cruel?" Quarmy said fiercely, "I

was forced by you! You forced me and Monica to divorce with your life, but I really didn't want to! I

couldn't let you die, so I asked the lawyer to draft such an agreement. I just wanted to force her to

refuse the harsh conditions. But she was desperate! She signed it without saying anything. In order to

force her back, I tried every means to make her unemployed. Unexpectedly, she never came back!"

Quarmy yelled at Jenny, but he didn't feel comfortable. He was depressed and said, "In order to

survive, she chose to marry. But when she was about to marry, her husband died. Her son was born

without a father. These years, she took her child to run around and suffered a lot. She shouldn't have

suffered these things if she hadn't married a coward like me. She lived in sufferings because her ex-

husband is a cold-blooded and ruthless man. Do you understand?"

Jenny naturally did not understand. "Since things have already happened, why don't you give her some

money?" Hearing her indifferent words, Quarmy punched on the tea table in front of her. "Is this a

problem of money?!"

"So what do you want? She's married and has a child. What's done is done. What else can we do

except for giving her money?"

"I've come up with a best solution. I want to marry her again and treat her child as my own child!"

"Are you crazy?" Jenny jumped up.

"I'm not crazy. This is the result of my careful consideration during this period of time."

"No! I will never let you do this!" Jenny was anxious. "Quarmy, there are a lot of ways to make it up for

her. You don't have to marry her. You and Madrigal have already set the date of engagement.

Everything is ready. If you marry Monica, what about Madrigal?"

"You can compensate her with money!" Quarmy replied coldly.

Wasn't this what she just said to him? He immediately said it back to her. Jenny was upset. "Quarmy,

Madrigal is an innocent girl. It's really not easy for her to do all those things for you. You have to think

for her."

"Who will take Monica into consideration?" Quarmy retorted, "Madrigal's matter is all because of you,

you go to settle it yourself. I am going to take Monica back now. No one can stop me!"

"If you do this, I'll go die!" Jenny threatened.

"Mom, don't you feel sick of saying it every day?" Quarmy looked at Jenny and said, "It's enough to use

the same method once. It's annoying to use it again and again."

"You..." Jenny didn't expect that his son would say such ruthless words, she was helpless.

"I remember you once told me you would have no face to see my father without a grandchild. I don't

have a child now, do I? Mom, you won't die!" Quarmy sneered.

Jenny's face turned red, but she couldn't say anything. Quarmy turned around and went upstairs. After

a few steps, he turned back and said, "I won't be at anyone's disposal this time. I'll make the decision

for my whole life!"

Yale accompanied Zoe to a party. Madrigal was alone at home, she felt very lonely. She went back to

her room after watching TV for a while in the living room and felt bored.

She didn't know why, but she always felt a little uneasy. Was there anything wrong?

Just as she was thinking about it, the phone rang. She picked it up and heard a low female voice. "Miss

Jane, it's me."

"Aunt Liu?" Hearing the voice of Quarmy's servant, Madrigal had a bad feeling.

"Madam and Mr. Huo just had a big fight."

"Why?"

"Because of Monica. Mrs Huo knows she has a son..." The servant told her the contents of the quarrel.

The more Madrigal listened, the more frightened she became.

After the report, the servant hung up the phone in a hurry. Madrigal was in a state of stupefaction. What

should she do? What should she do?

"Why hasn't my mother come back yet?" She picked up her mobile phone to call Yale. The phone rang

twice and was hung up. Madrigal couldn't sit still any longer. She hurriedly opened the door and went

downstairs, only to hear the sound of a car. She heard that her mother and father came back.

Yale came in with Zoe with a smile. Madrigal knew that the party must be very successful.

Madrigal calmed herself and came forward. "Mom, I bought a set of clothes. Would you like to see it?"

Yale nodded and said, "You go up first. I'll make your dad a cup of tea first."

"Go ahead. I'll ask Lancy to make tea." Zoe was in a good mood.

"I'll do it. I'm afraid that you won't be used to it if Lancy makes it." As Yale said this, she went to make

tea for Zoe immediately. Madrigal was so anxious that she didn't dare to show it out, so she had to go

upstairs.

A few minutes later, Yale entered Madrigal's room. "Did you hear any bad news?"

Madrigal nodded and told Yale what the servant said. "Mom is really smart to leave keep such a

woman by Jenny's side. Otherwise, we won't know anything now."

"That's why you have to keep your options open. When I asked Lassie to stay, you didn't agree."

"I was afraid that she would cause trouble. She knew what we did to Monica. If she accidentally

exposed herself, what should we do?" Madrigal replied. The medicine that Monica had taken was all

made by Lassie. She could do such a vicious thing so she must be a ruthless person. So after the C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

matter was over, she wanted Lassie to get away with money. But Yale disagreed and said that Lassie

was still useful. Now it seemed that Yale was right.

"How are you going to do things in the future if you're only halfway there and then kick out the useful

person? Before you officially become Mrs. Huo, Lassie can't leave. What's more, I took advantage of

Lassie because of her son. She has something on me, so she can't make a big trouble." Yale snorted.

"Mom, you'd better think of a way to stop Quarmy's marriage with Monica. I'm so anxious."

"As long as you can make sure that the child is not Quarmy, nothing will happen." Yale was not too

worried.

"The child is definitely not Quarmy's. If it was Quarmy's, Jenny wouldn't have quarreled with Quarmy.

She would have been happy since she wants a grandchild so badly." Madrigal was now only worried

that Jenny could not stop Quarmy. "Lassie said that Jenny could no longer threaten Quarmy even with

life."

"I've said that Quarmy was not a fool, and he wouldn't allow Jenny to control him. Everything will be

fine if the child is not his." Yale sneered.

"Have you come up with a solution?"

"How could Jenny let her son raise another man's child? She will definitely find a way to stop it."

"What can she do? Quarmy doesn't care about whether she is alive or dead now. How can he listen to

her?"

"That's because he knows that Jenny won't really die. This method can only be used once. Only fools

will be threatened again and again." Yale sneered. "If she can't convince her son, she will definitely

come to Monica. At that time, we can help her."

The wind blew at night. Monica wrapped her coat tightly and hurried downstairs with rubbish. At a

glance, she saw a black Maybach downstairs. She was shocked. Didn't Roland leave? Why did he

come back? She subconsciously walked to the side of the car and said, "Roland!"

Quarmy did not expect to see Monica at this time at all. After quarreling with his mother, he was sad in

his heart, so he drove around. He found that he had no place to go. Later, he unconsciously drove the

car here.

He was very upset. He opened the cigarette case and took out a cigarette. When he was about to light

it, he heard a familiar voice. She was calling him Roland.

His breath suddenly stopped, and he was still holding a cigarette box in his hand.

He looked at the familiar slim figure running over and stood in front of his car. After she saw clearly that

it was him in the car, her smiling face was frozen little by little, and then she turned around without

hesitation.

He opened the door and got out of the car without thinking.

"Moni!" He strode forward and grabbed her hand.

Monica tried hard to break free, but he grabbed her tightly. She was anxious. "Quarmy, let me go!"

"I have something to say to you." Quarmy grabbed her hand and dragged her into the car and lock the

car regardless of her resistance.

"I'm not interested in your words." Monica struggled. She reached out to pull the door, naturally, she

couldn't open it. Quarmy held her hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Moni, please sit with me for a

while, please!"

His voice was full of unspeakable sadness. Monica's body stiffened and she subconsciously looked at

him. Quarmy's eyes were full of sadness. When she saw the sadness in his eyes, her heart suddenly

ached.

Her heart, which had been numb for a long time, suddenly ached. She looked away and took her hand

out of his hand. She tried to keep calm and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Quarmy didn't say anything but just stared at her. Monica asked again, and then he sighed. "Moni, you

have been living a hard life these years, haven't you?"

"I've got used to it!" She replied flatly.

Quarmy looked at her beautiful side face and felt as if a knife were piercing his heart. "Moni, I'm a jerk. I

was wrong. I'm sorry..." He said incoherently.

Since he knew that she had no choice but to marry another man, he knew that he was wrong. He

thought about their past over and over again, and every time he thought about it, he felt he'd rather die.

He was a jerk, a scum. How could he do that to the woman he swore to protect for his whole life?

Quarmy's apology made Monica turn her head around. There were some mistakes that could not be

made up by an apology. She said lightly, "Did you come here just for saying this?"

"Moni, I didn't mean to hide the pregnancy of Madrigal from you. I wanted to tell you, but I didn't have

the courage. I was afraid that you wouldn't accept it..."

"It doesn't matter now. It's all in the past!" Monica interrupted him. Which woman would accept her

husband to have a baby with another woman? Quarmy was really ridiculous. After so many years, he

actually still wanted to explain. What was the point of explaining? Didn't he know that it was useless?

"Mr. Huo, in fact, you don't need to say these to me. We have divorced. Everything in the past is no

longer important. There is no need to explain it or not."

"Moni, I know you hate me very much, and I hate myself too." Quarmy's eyes were full of remorse. "If I

knew this would happen, I would not let you go..."

"If Mr. Huo just wants to apologize and get my forgiveness, forget about it. I won't accept your apology.

You'd better let me out of the car!" Monica interrupted Quarmy again.

"Moni, I don't just want to apologize. I also want to make it up for you. Please give me a chance!"

"How?" Monica sneered. "Let me take care of you and your child. I swear that I will never let you get

hurt again!"

"You swear?" Monica almost laughed out loud. Didn't he swear to her before? But what did he do? He

said that he would give her a warm home. As a result, she had to face his mother's abuse every day.

He said that he only loved her for the rest of his life, and then he slept with the woman she hated the

most. Monica's eyes were full of hatred.

"Go back to your girlfriend and tell her your vows. I don't need a vow, and I won't believe it anymore!"

"Moni!"

"It's late. I have to go to work tomorrow. Mr. Huo, please let me go."

Quarmy looked at her determined eyes and finally opened the door. "Moni, I remember every word that

I said to you before. I have never forgotten our love! I will never let go of your hand!" Monica did not

expect that he would say that, she suddenly felt a little surprised. Her hand holding the door paused for

a moment, but she still opened the door.

After getting out of the car, she looked at the man in the car and said, "Quarmy, since you left with

Madrigal in your arms and asked me to divorce, all my feelings for you have disappeared. Don't expect

that a person who has been hurt by you will come back to your side and accept your so- called

compensation. I'm not that cheap!"

Her voice was very light, but it sounded like a thunder in Quarmy's ears. His face instantly became

pale, and his eyes lost light. His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but all his words were

stuck in his throat.

Looking at his sad and incredible look, Monica's eyes flashed with joy. She turned around and strode

away.

After the quarrel with Quarmy, Jenny's heart was burning with sadness. Her son actually wanted to

raise a child for someone else and bring back the annoying woman? No way!

She would never allow her son to do that, but Quarmy didn't listen to her at all. During this period of

time, he went out early and returned late. Except for sleeping, he didn't appear at home at all.

Jenny asked his secretary and knew that there was nothing serious in the company recently. She knew

that her son had gone to find that vixen again.

In the past, she had been using filial duty to control Quarmy. However, since Quarmy said such

ruthless words that day, she knew that the method was no longer useful. Since she could not convince

her son, she could only come to that woman and humiliate her severely. In that way, Monica might

leave on her own.

Didn't she have a hard time? She would give her some money. If it was not enough, she would be more

ruthless. She didn't believe that Monica, a woman who had no money or power, could fight with her.

When Monica saw Jenny in the morning, she felt that she was really unlucky. Jenny wore a fake smile

on her face. "Miss Mo, let's talk."

Monica didn't want to talk to her at all, but she also knew how patient this seemingly noble woman was.

She didn't want to be pestered, so she went to the nearby tea room with Jenny.

Jenny gracefully picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, as if the person who was full of tea that day

was not her. "When I went back that day, I heard from Quarmy about what happened to you. As a

woman, I have sympathy for everything you have experienced. It's not easy for you to take the child

alone, so I decide to give you a sum of money."

Although she tried her best to talk to Monica in a soft tone, Monica could only feel the irony in her

words. She couldn't help laughing. "Since when did you become a philanthropist?"

Jenny's face was a little hot. She controlled herself. "I heard that you had a bad time after your divorced

Quarmy..."

"There are too many people who have a hard time. Don't tell me that you are willing to give money to

all of them."

"Of course not. I want to give you money because you used to be my daughter-in-law. I can feel how

hard it is for you, a single mother, to take care of your child."

"Thanks for your kindness, but I don't need it. I have the ability to support my son."

"Monica, you have to think about the child's future. With this money, you don't have to work so hard.

You can give the child a prominent future. As a mother, is there anything more important than that?"

"You are right. As a mother, there is nothing more important than the future of the child." "So you

agreed to accept my money?" Jenny was surprised.

"According to my understanding to you, you should not be such a person who is full of love. We both

know each other well. It's better to be more direct. What's your purpose?"

Jenny's face was a little hot. "I hope you can leave Jiang City as soon as you get the money. Don't

show up in front of Quarmy for the rest of your life."

"Why?" Monica sneered. "Jiang City is my home. Why should I leave?"

"Monica, your appearance has a great impact on Quarmy. I don't want my son to live in guilt all his life."

"If he didn't do bad things, he wouldn't live in guilt. What's there to be guilty about?" Monica sneered.

Monica's expression made Jenny feel that it might be impossible for her to leave with money. She was

not patient anymore. "What's is going take for you to let him go?"

"Madam Huo, if you have no problem with your brain, you should remember that I have divorced your

son a long time ago. I let him go three years

^ ^ n

ago.

"Monica, don't pretend to be confused. If you didn't pester Quarmy, how could he want to be with you?

Let me tell you, I will never agree to the re-marriage between you and Quarmy. You'd better give up

that idea."

"When did you see me pestering your son?" Monica was furious. "It's your son who shamelessly

pestering me! I'm telling you, I'm not interested in your son! Since you have so much time, why don't

you go find your son? Don't you have a lot of means? You can use your life to threaten him again. It'll

work."

Jenny frowned slightly. "Since you are unwilling to admit it, then I will make it clear. If I find out that you

are in touch with Quarmy again, I swear that there will be no place for you in Jiang City. I will do what I

said!"

After that, Jenny went to Eva angrily. "I'm so angry. This woman is really my nemesis. She has been

against me in the past. She is still bothering me even after she divorced."

"Drink some water to calm down." Eva poured a glass of water for Jenny.

Jenny took the water and took a sip. She was still angry. "She doesn't want money. She must want to

marry Quarmy again. Quarmy is really a fool. How can he want to marry a single mother? I'm really

angry."

"She did it on purpose. In the past, she didn't have a child so she had no face to come back. Now, she

brought the child back in order to provoke you. This woman is too bad. She knows that Quarmy still

loves her. She is trying to let you and Quarmy to turn against each other!" Eva said with a worried look.

"Yes, this woman is too bad. I can't let her plot succeed. I have to find a way to get her away."

"Is there a way?"

"Not yet." Jenny had a headache. Although she said harsh words to Monica, she hadn't thought of any

effective way, so she came to Eva. "Why don't you help me figure out what to do with her?"

"Actually, this is quite simple. She is now in a poor state. It's easy for you to deal with her! Doesn't she

have a child? We can use her child to deal with her."

"Use her child? Is that appropriate?"

"Of course. We're not really going to hurt her child, we're just threatening her with her child. It's not

easy for her to have a child. I don't believe she won't give in then."

"Well, I'll go back and think about it." Jenny couldn't think of any good idea, so she had to leave.

At the same time, Noah reported to Quarmy, "Madam went to see Miss Mo today. She looked very

unhappy."

"I see." Quarmy shook the pen in his hand. He had expected that his mother would come to Monica

and say unpleasant words. If he wanted to be with Monica, his mother would definitely do something to

stop him. However, he was not afraid now.

Now the biggest problem was not his mother, but Monica. He had to let Monica trust him again. In

addition, he had to make it clear to Madrigal.

He never thought about getting engaged to Madrigal. It was all his mother's decision.

Madrigal was gentle and kind, but he had no love for her. He felt guilty for her because of her

pregnancy. He once said to Madrigal that he could not forget Monica and would not fall in love with her.

He advised Madrigal to give up on him, but she said that was willing to wait.

At that time, Monica had disappeared. Jenny started to picking girlfriends for him after knowing that he

didn't want to be with Madrigal. He was very annoyed and finally acquiesced Madrigal to appear beside

him.

Now since he wanted to take Monica back, he had to let Madrigal give up on him. Since the

engagement date had been decided, he couldn't cancel it casually. Zoe was the mayor, so he had to

give him a reasonable explanation.

Persuading Madrigal to break up with him was impossible, so he had to find another way. Zoe had only

one daughter, so he would definitely not let her suffer. Quarmy came up with an idea.

A few days later, the major media in Jiang City reported the scandal between Quarmy and Mary, a

beauty graduated from Jiang University. With the exposure of the scandal, the media began to dig out

the story between Quarmy and Mary.

Quarmy and Mary had been in a relationship for a long time. The media found that at the anniversary of

Jiang University two years ago, Quarmy and Mary went to the hotel together.

Later, Quarmy bought Mary a house at the most exclusive neighborhood in Jiang City. Quarmy stayed

there one day for week. The seclusive measures of the neighborhood were very good, so no one knew

it before.

It wasn't until Mary's birthday that they were photographed celebrating at the hotel. If it weren't for the

paparazzi who followed them all the way, they wouldn't have known that Mary was Quarmy's secret

lover. Once the news was reported, it caused a great stir. All the insiders began to talk about it. Quarmy

and Madrigal hadn't been married in three years. It turned out that Quarmy had a lover.

Mary was beautiful and pure, and she was a talented woman. No wonder Quarmy couldn't give up on

her. If Madrigal was not the daughter of the mayor, it was impossible for her to stay with Quarmy.

Seeing this news, Monica sneered several times. Sure enough, Quarmy was really addicted to

cheating on others. She was looking forward to Madrigal's reaction.

Madrigal was so angry that her eyes turned red when she saw the news. She knew Mary, who used to

have dinner with Quarmy. When Madrigal saw Quarmy's care for her, she was a little jealous. Later,

she didn't realize that there was something abnormal and ignored it. But she didn't expect that Mary

was really Quarmy's lover. When she thought that Quarmy would rather have a mistress than touch

her, she couldn't stand it.

However, she could not go to Quarmy to question him, so she had to hide in the room and cry. Yale did

not believe that Quarmy would have a mistress. She opened the door to scold Madrigal. "It's obvious

Quarmy's idea that the news came out at this time. He is forcing you to choose. He wants us to

propose breaking off the engagement."

Hearing that, Madrigal also realized that the news was really too coincidental. It seemed that it was

really done by Quarmy.

After careful consideration, the mother and daughter decided to do nothing and waited for Quarmy to

make his move.

Jenny was also annoyed when she saw the news that Quarmy had a lover. It seemed that Quarmy was

deliberately against her. She didn't mind that he had a lover, but she knew the news was not true.

She was the one who raised Quarmy. Having lived together for so many years, she knew Quarmy well.

It was absolutely impossible for him to have a mistress. It seemed that he was paving the way for him

and Monica to be together. No, she couldn't let things go like this. She had to find a way out

immediately.
