Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 112

Zoe had been in trouble recently. The boss of TD Group, Terry, fled with a lot of money.

When Terry was making great achievements in Jiang City, Zoe was very close to him. Zoe had once been a shareholder of TD Group. Only he and Terry knew about this.

Because TD Group had been doing so well, in order to get more benefits, Zoe lent Terry public funds to open a branch office. At first, Terry agreed to pay him back in one month, but Zoe didn't expect that Terry's company had already declined. The so-called branch office was a lie. After getting Zoe's money, Terry immediately fled abroad.

This was a total of one billion dollars. How could Zoe possibly have the money to make up for it? Therefore, he had been anxious during this period of time.

Coincidentally, his superiors heard of it and talked to him about this matter. In the past few years, Zoe had a good relationship with his superiors. They asked him to find a way to raise one billion as soon as possible. If he could make it, the matter would be over.

Since Zoe cooperated with Terry, he had only made a few million in all. Where could he get one billion?

Quarmy was the only one who could help Zoe. However, one billion was a lot. Zoe was not sure that whether Quarmy would help him or not. Quarmy had no interest in Madrigal. Zoe was sure that Quarmy would not help him for Madrigal's sake. He thought of Monica. Quarmy had always been obsessed with her.

When Zoe came back, it happened that Madrigal was smearing Monica. Zoe took the opportunity to pretend to be sick. Quarmy's explanation on TV made Zoe feel hopeful. Quarmy would rather let his mother take the blame for Monica. It could be imagined how infatuated he was with Monica.

Therefore, Zoe didn't oppose Quarmy's proposal to break off the engagement with Madrigal. That day, when Quarmy and Monica were at the Jane family, he wanted to ask for Quarmy's help, but he felt too embarrassed to say it. Now, he couldn't delay it anymore, so he made an appointment with Quarmy.

"I've been in trouble recently. I wonder if you could help me."

Quarmy had already known about Terry's matter. He guessed that Zoe's trouble should have something to do with Terry. "Go ahead."

Zoe told him about Terry's escape with the money. He was embarrassed to say that he cooperated with Terry to make money. He just said that he had a good relationship with Terry. He didn't expect that Terry would be such a person.

Quarmy looked thoughtful. A billion was a lot, but it was not a big deal to him. However, should he tell it to Monica?

Seeing that Quarmy did not speak, Zoe thought that he would not agree to this matter. He began to panic. "I won't ask for your money for nothing. I'll make you an IOU. I have some ancient paintings. I will mortgage them to you."

Then Zoe opened his box and showed it to Quarmy. "These are ancient paintings left by my family. They were valued over 100 million a decade ago.

Quarmy was stunned. The Jane family didn't seem to be a literary family. How could Zoe have such valuable ancient paintings? He picked up one of the paintings casually.

"They're not fakes. Don't worry." Zoe thought he didn't believe it and immediately explained. "They have been in my hands for more than 20 years. If this matter hadn't happened, I wouldn't have mortgaged them."

It was rare to see Zoe in such a panic. It seemed that he was really in trouble. Quarmy smiled slightly. "I know. I'll give you the money later."

Zoe was not sure if Quarmy's words were true. He was really anxious now. Although these paintings were important to him, they were nothing compared to his future. Besides, he would give them to Monica after he died, so it was fine that he gave them to Quarmy now. "You'd better take them back. I'll make you an IOU."

"No need." Quarmy refused. He helped Zoe because of Monica. If Zoe was not Monica's father, he would not care about him at all. Since he decided to help Zoe, he naturally wouldn't want his paintings or IOU.

"Don't tell Moni about this. If she knows it, I will be really embarrassed." Zoe insisted on making him an IOU. "Moni has been stubborn since she was a child. I don't want her to misunderstand me again." Zoe was really shameless. Quarmy was speechless. "Forget it. I'll take it as your dowry for Moni, but I won't accept your IOU. Give me your account and I'll ask someone to transfer the money to you."

Hearing that, Zoe breathed a sigh of relief. Then he gave his account to Quarmy. Then, he enthusiastically mentioned the marriage between Quarmy and Monica. "When are you and Moni going to get your marriage certificate?"

"Any time. As long as she agrees."

"You'd better hurry up." Zoe, who had solved the problem, resumed his usual calm. "Why don't you take Moni home for dinner at night? I'll talk to her."

However, Quarmy was not grateful for Zoe's offer. It was obvious that Monica disliked Zoe. If Quarmy asked Zoe to help at this time, it would be counterproductive. "No, I'll tell her myself."

After chatting with Zoe for a while, Quarmy returned to his company. He ordered someone to transfer the money to Zoe. Hearing that, Noah couldn't help reminding him, "Mr. Huo, don't you tell Miss Mo about this?"

"Moni hates this kind of thing the most. If I tell her, she will hate Zoe more. Let's talk about it later."

While they were talking, someone knocked on the door. Mary came in. "Mr. Huo, I have something to tell you."

Hearing that, Noah intended to leave, but Quarmy stopped him. "Noah is not an outsider. If you have something to say, just say it."

"Well, I received an admission notice from a foreign university. I want to go abroad to continue my studies, so..." Mary was a little nervous. It was Eva who paid an intermediary to handle all the formalities for her going abroad. Mary was afraid that Quarmy would suspect her.

"Do you want to resign and go abroad to study?" Quarmy understood. "This is a good thing. I support you. If you need me, I will try my best to help you."

"Thank you, Mr. Huo. I don't need anything."

Although Quarmy was surprised, he did not stop her. He readily agreed to Mary's resignation and asked the financial manager to pay Mary a few months' salary more.

When he returned to XS Garden in the evening, Monica was on a phone call with Coco. Coco said that he missed her and asked when she would go to see him. Monica answered that she would come to him in a few days.

Seeing Quarmy, Monica hurriedly hung up the phone. Quarmy came forward and pulled her to sit on the sofa. "Moni, your dad came to me today."

"Why?" Monica asked. Her intuition told her that there was nothing good going on.

"He gave me these." Quarmy showed one of the paintings to Monica.

Monica just glanced at it. She didn't know how to appreciate paintings, but she guessed that these should be the ancient paintings mentioned by Zoe. "Why did he give them to you?"

"He said it was the dowry for you." Quarmy didn't want the dowry, but Zoe insisted on giving him an IOU, so he simply asked him to take the paintings as dowry. Anyway, it would be Monica's. Monica was surprised. One of the purposes of her return was for these paintings. Zoe had rejected her many times before, but now he was so generous. It was really strange. Quarmy reached out to hold her hand while she was thinking. "Moni, let's get married!"

"What?" Monica asked. Although Quarmy had mentioned it several times, it was the first time he mentioned it seriously. She was a little surprised.

"Let's get married." Quarmy looked at her eyes with deep affection. "Moni, I've been thinking about it for a long time. I didn't dare to propose to you before, because I knew that I had deeply hurt you. But I really want to take care of you and your child. Moni, promise me!"

"Quarmy, marriage is not just a matter of two people, do you understand?"

"I understand. I will persuade my mother. Don't worry, she won't disturb you again." Quarmy promised.

"It's more than that. I have a child..."

"Don't worry. I like Coco very much. I'll treat him like my own child."

Monica was silent. Coco was originally Quarmy's child. She was not worried that Quarmy wouldn't treat Coco well. The point was whether Quarmy was worth her trust.

Thinking of Mary coming to argue with her, Monica felt annoyed. In the past, she knew clearly that Madrigal liked Quarmy, but she didn't care too much about it. Therefore, she suffered a lot. She was really tired. Now, Quarmy was not the same young man he used to be. He was a successful president. There were a lot of women who coveted him. Monica didn't want to let herself suffer again.

Moreover, Quarmy had a troublesome mother. These were the problems that lie ahead of her and Quarmy. However, Quarmy was Coco's biological father. Giving Coco a complete family had always been her dream. Monica was really in a dilemma. Seeing that Quarmy was still waiting for her answer, she had to say, "You'd better think about this matter again!"

"I've already thought it through very clearly. Moni, promise me!" Quarmy begged. "I won't let you down again!"

Monica did not believe his promise at all, but Summer was right. If she could get pregnant successfully, she would have two children. She could not be single all her life. She had to find a father for her children and Quarmy was undoubtedly her best choice. Maybe she could have a try. After a moment of silence, she nodded. Quarmy was very happy and rotated in the room with her in his arms, just like what he did when the first time she agreed to marry him. Thinking of the past, Monica was a bit sad. She hoped that everything would go great.

Since getting engaged to Roland, Mandy came to visit Gracie every day. At first, Gracie was very kind to her, but later, she gradually changed her attitude.

Gracie was not as close to Mandy as she used to be. Mandy didn't think that she had done something wrong. But why Gracie suddenly changed her attitude?

One day, Mandy brought gifts to Gracie again. Grade sighed and said, "Mandy, don't come here to accompany me again."

"Aunt, do you hate me?"
