Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 134

Ted was a man of no skill. He was addicted to have fun and almost went to jail for a girl. It was Yale who helped him out of prison.

Yale did it because she wanted to use Lassie. Sure enough, Lassie didn't let her down.

Ted was jobless at that time. Lassie was worried that he would do something bad again, so she asked Yale to get him a job.

It took Yale a lot of effort to get Ted a job. Ted was not educated, but he was picky. He only wanted an easy and well-paid job.

Yale got him several jobs in a row but he screwed them up himself. Later, Yale had no choice but to let him work for Zoe.

Ted had been at the bottom of the heap. When he heard from his mother that he would work for the mayor, he was so happy.

Although he was just a driver, it was hard for ordinary people to have close contact with the mayor as him. Ted's friends were very envious of him and thought highly of him because of it. Ted felt very proud and began to work hard.

Ted was good at flattering and observing, which made Zoe have a good impression of him.

However, recently Zoe began to dislike Ted. That day, Director Li of the Public Security Bureau came to Zoe for official business, and he inadvertently mentioned Ted.

"Mayor Jane, is Ted Lee your driver?"

"Yes. What's wrong?" Zoe asked. His intuition told him that Ted had done something wrong.

"Before, we caught a lot of wh*res and wh*remasters in a KTV. One of the wh*remasters was called this name."

"What did you say?" Zoe's face changed. Although Ted was only a driver, if this matter was spread out, it would definitely have a bad effect on him.

"A policeman wanted to take him back to the police station that day, but he said that he was your driver. The policeman saw that he was driving your private car, so he let him go. Later, he was caught in another nightclub after a few days. He was taking drugs and his car was still yours. I think I should tell you about this. If this person is really your driver, you should be careful. I advise you to fire him."

Zoe nodded and said, "I see. Thank you for reminding me."

After Director Li left, Zoe frowned. He had to fire Ted.

Zoe was not a procrastinator. He dismissed Ted soon. Lassie immediately called Yale and told her that Zoe might have discovered something. Yale was also very shocked. Did Zoe really find out what Ted did? She thought of what Ted did for her. In addition to watching Zoe's every move, Ted used to throw Coco into the stinking ditch for her. It was almost impossible for Zoe to discover it.

In the evening, Zoe came back with a new driver. Yale asked, "You got a new driver? What about "Don't mention him. I fired him." Zoe told Yale what Director Li said. Yale was relieved. As long as Zoe didn't doubt her, everything would be fine. She called Lassie and let her rest assured.

Lassie was also relieved. She had made a lot of money in the Huo family these years. Since Ted was fired, she wanted him to do business.

Ted knew nothing about business. Lassie suggested him to open a supermarket. Ted went to discuss it with his friend. His friend said that opening a supermarket was too ordinary. They were young men, so they should do something exciting, such as opening a nightclub or a bar.

Ted's eyes lit up when he heard that it could make a lot of money. He was a regular at bars and nightclubs, so he knew how expensive these places were.

He told Lassie about this. Lassie was moved. She asked him how much it would cost to open a bar or a nightclub.

Ted didn't know much about it. He said that it would take about ten million. Lassie was shocked. "Why is it so expensive?"

"If we want to open a fancy nightclub, it'll be more expensive." Ted explained, "I asked my friend. One of his friends opened a medium- grade nightclub with a pure income of more than one million yuan a month. He got his money back in less than a year."

"Really?" Lassie didn't believe it. "Let's talk about it later. I'll ask someone with experience."

Lassie meant Quarmy. "Quarmy is a successful man. I want to know how he thinks about it."

In the evening, when Quarmy came back, Lassie deliberately asked him about this. She said that one of her friends wanted to open a nightclub, but she didn't know whether she could make money or not. Quarmy smiled faintly and said, "It's a lucrative business. Sometimes I will spend one hundred thousand dollars a night in a nightclub."

Lassie's eyes lit up when she heard it. Therefore, she agreed to her son's request.

However, she didn't have so much money. She asked her son to find a suitable nightclub first. Ted immediately went to do it with his friends. Coincidentally, they found a nightclub that was ready to be transferred. The decoration facilities were almost new and the location was very good. The boss said that it would make at least ten million dollars a year if it was well managed. He wanted to go abroad so he decided to transfer it at a low price.

Ted was moved. The boss was so sincere that he showed Ted how popular the nightclub was. Ted stayed in the nightclub for a whole night. When he saw that the nightclub was doing well, he really wanted to buy it.

The transfer fee was 12 million dollars. How could Ted have such a large sum of money? Lassie had worked in the Huo family for nine years. All her savings were no more than 5 million.

It was still far from 12 million dollars. Lassie could not afford so much money, so she persuaded Ted to give up. Ted was willing to listen to her because of the huge interest. He asked Lassie to borrow money from Quarmy. Lassie did not dare do so. Then, Ted let Lassie turn to Yale. He said that she had done so many things for Yale, she deserved to be reward. Besides, she could return the money to Yale in the future.

Lassie had no choice but to talk to Yale about this matter. Yale was furious when she heard that. This old b*tch was really shameless! How dared she try to borrow several million dollars? Could she still afford it? The point was that Yale herself didn't have so much money.

However, Yale did not dare to offend Lassie. After all, she had used Lassie too much before. If she did not help Lassie, Lassie would be dissatisfied. If Lassie told others about her secrets, things would be troublesome.

Yale did not agree to help Lassie, nor did she disagree. She just said that she did not have so much money at the moment, so she had to borrow it from her friends.

Seeing that, Lassie left without suspecting anything. Yale went home angrily and talked with Madrigal about this matter. "This old b*tch is really greedy. She wants to make tens of millions a year? Keep dreaming!"

Madrigal comforted her. "Mom, I've been to this nightclub before. It's doing well! I don't think Lassie is dreaming."

"Really?" Yale rarely went to nightclubs, so she didn't know much about it. Hearing what Madrigal said, she was tempted. She and Uriah owned several shops and they were all doing well. However, the profits of these shops were far less than 10 million. If this nightclub could really make so much money, she could let Uriah take a stake in. In this way, they could make money together without offending Lassie. Moreover, there was no need to worry that Ted would not return the money.

Yale called Vashon immediately. She asked Vashon to let Uriah go to the beauty salon as soon as possible.

Yale told Uriah about the nightclub thing. Uriah was also tempted. Of course, he had heard of this night shop. He didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

However, Uriah didn't have so much money either. The nightclub was too tempting. Uriah and Yale decided to sell out their shops so that they could buy this nightclub.

Uriah went to do it immediately. Yale went to Lassie and told her that she failed to borrow money, but one of her friends planned to open a nightclub. Her friend wanted to cooperate with Ted and reduce of risk.

Lassie discussed it with Ted and Ted agreed. The two sides met and talked about the details of their cooperation. In order to have an equal share in the future, they decided to contribute half each. Uriah got six million after selling his shops, but Ted still needed one million. Finally, he mortgaged his house. After receiving the money, the owner of the nightclub simply transferred the ownership of the nightclub to them.

There were already employees in the nightclub. Ted, Yale, and the others were waiting to get money happily. As expected, the nightclub's business was booming. In the past week, they earned a lot, which made them extremely happy. However, on the eighth day, something suddenly happened.

A group of policemen suddenly appeared in the nightclub with government workers. They said that the nightclub was reported for selling fake wine, so they had to investigate the nightclub according to the law. Soon, the police blocked the nightclub and checked the wine here. They found out that the so-called millions of dollars worth of foreign wine in the warehouse were all fake.

Government workers sanctioned the nightclub for selling counterfeit alcohol and confiscated illegal liquor. Ted and others would be fined according to the law. Because of the large amount of the fake wine, the nightclub's license would be revoked.

This was undoubtedly a great blow for Ted and others. The nightclub was closed, the money was gone, and they were almost charged. If it weren't for Yale, they would have been more miserable.
