Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 107

After seeing Monica's jade pendant, Mary firmly believed that her mother must be related to Monica. Quarmy had the same idea as her, so he started to investigate Hannah.

Quarmy spent a lot of effort to find out Hannah's background. Her mother remarried, so she and Xanjer were raised by their relatives. Later, they were adopted by a kind-hearted person and lived in the Cat's Alley. Quarmy and Mary went to the cat's alley to investigate.

Hannah and Xanjer were adopted by the Andrew's servant. Although they lived in the Cat's Alley, they did not have much contact with the people around them.

People only remembered that Hannah was admitted to the university and married an official. Later, she took her brother and her adopted father away. As for where she went, there were different opinions. Some said that she bought a house in Jiang City, and some said that she went to another city.

Quarmy guessed that Hannah didn't take her brother and adopted father away at that time, but settled them in the tube-shaped apartment. That was why Xanjer had stayed there before.

However, there was a clue that Hannah once lived in the Cat's Alley for a period of time more than 20 years ago. It was in winter. She wore thick clothes and looked plump. Her only friend was Flower. Flower was Yale's nickname. The person who provided clues regarded Eva as Hannah, because they looked like each other.

At that time, Hannah had already married Zoe, hadn't she? Why did she return to the Cat's Alley? Was she pregnant so she looked plump? Quarmy felt it incredible. 20 years ago, Monica was several years old. Why did Hannah leave her family and live in the Cat's Alley for such a long time?

The most important thing was that at that time, Yale was pregnant with Madrigal, and Mary was about the same age as Madrigal. Was Hannah going back to the Cat's Alley to give birth?

However, Hannah and Yale had a very good relationship. Since they were pregnant at the same time, how could she not know about Yale's child?

Yale's child was Zoe's, which was why Hannah had an accident later. In this case, how could Hannah have such a good relationship with Yale? There was something strange in this matter. Was it not Hannah who returned to the Cat's Alley? But who would that person be?

Quarmy and Mary's investigation in the Cat's Alley made no substantial progress, but Noah had found out something important. Hannah's mother had a daughter named Kate after marrying Andrew. Later, Andrew and Hannah's mother both passed away, and Kate and her brother Francisco were missing.

Noah put the photo of Eva and Francisco in front of Quarmy. "Why does Francisco look exactly like Xanjer? And Kate. Don't you think she looks like Dr. Xi?" Quarmy was shocked when he saw the photo. Although the photo was old, he could see the people on it clearly. Francisco looked exactly the same as Xanjer, while Kate looked very similar to Eva.

"What the hell is going on?" Quarmy couldn't figure it out. He couldn't understand the connection between Xanjer and Francisco, but he had a wild guess. The person who lived in the Cat's Alley and made friends with Yale was not Hannah, but Kate. If he was right, Kate might be Mary's mother.

While Quarmy and Noah were discussing, Zewail came in. When he saw the photo in front of Quarmy, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Isn't this Dave? Did you find him?"

Quarmy was stunned. "What did you say?" Naturally, he had heard of Dave. That was also why he was so shocked.

Zewail picked up the photo. Then, he said with confidence, "This is the genius designer Dave! When I went to France to study, I met him once."

"Isn't Dave French?"

"I thought he was French, but he is actually Chinese. His identity has always been kept a secret. It's rare to see his photos in the media. I only saw him once at a party. He only stayed there for a few minutes. Everyone was very polite to him. Later, I heard from others that he was Dave."

"Do you know his Chinese name?"

"No." Zewail shook his head.

After Zewail left, Quarmy said to Noah, "When you were investigating Francisco, did you find out that he used to study in France?"

Noah nodded. "Yes. I haven't had time to report yet."

Quarmy rubbed his eyebrows. This was too strange. Xanjer was Francisco? Then where was the real Xanjer? Was Francisco Dave? Flow could that be? Xanjer had always been obedient and honest in Quarmy's impression. Flow could he have anything to do with that genius designer?

Quarmy thought for a moment and asked Noah to bring him a French interpreter. Fie asked the French interpreter to call Xanjer in French. The call was soon connected. The interpreter asked Xanjer in French, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Liu?"

Xanjer answered in French, "No, you have the wrong number!"

The interpreter hung up the phone after saying sorry in French. Quarmy and Noah clearly heard Xanjer's answer. Quarmy waved his hand and signaled for the interpreter to go out.

Xanjer dropped out of junior high school and stayed at home. Therefore, the present Xanjer was a fake. Why did Francisco pretend to be Xanjer?

Did Monica know about this?

Quarmy thought for a while and called Mary to come in. Now he was sure that Xanjer was Francisco. But he was not sure if Eva and Kate were the same person. In this case, it was better to let Mary make an appointment with Eva and ask her about the jade pendant personally.

Monica had an appointment with Summer for lunch. In the restaurant, they actually met Mary. Seeing Monica, Mary took the initiative to greet her. Monica was also very polite to her. After that, Mary entered a private room.

When Mary opened the door, Monica took a look inside and saw Eva, who used to be her doctor.

Why would Eva meet Mary? Was Mary sterile?

Mary closed the door and sat opposite Eva. Eva's face was very gloomy. "Miss, what can I do for you?"

Mary looked at Eva and bit her lip. The woman in front of her looked somewhat similar to herself. Mary hoped that Eva was her mother.

When Eva saw Mary, she felt disgusted. Jenny had said that she wanted Mary to have children for Quarmy, and Mary had a very close relationship with Quarmy, which made Eva subconsciously hate Mary. That was why Eva was so impolite.

"I..." Mary took out a jade pendant from her pocket and put it on the table. "Do you know this jade pendant?"

Eva's face changed. She picked it up and looked at it carefully. "Why do you have this?"
