Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 90

"It's Moni! Moni's conning back!" Lancy, who stood in a remote corner and coldly watched the engagement ceremony, shouted loudly and ran to Monica after seeing her.

"Moni, you're finally back. I thought I wouldn't see you again!" Lancy's voice choked.

Monica also ran to Lancy excitedly. She stretched out her arms and hugged Lancy. Lancy had worked as a nanny in the Jane family since Monica was a child. She had always been very good to Monica.

Yale and Jenny also came over. When Jenny saw Monica, her first thought was that she was here to cause trouble. She stood in front of Monica aggressively and said, "What are you doing here?"

Monica let go of Lancy and squinted at Jenny. "Madam, who are you in this family?"

"I..." Jenny's face turned red, and the contempt on Monica's face stimulated her nerves. "This is my daughter-in-law's home."

"Well, then it's not your home. What qualifications do you have to ask me?" Monica retorted rudely. She turned to look at Yale and said with a fake smile. "Am I right, Madam Jane?"

Yale smiled awkwardly. She knew that things would not go so smoothly. Monica must have done it on purpose. Fortunately, the ceremony had ended. "Moni, let's go in and talk!" "Why? Just drive her out!" Jenny was used to being domineering. Monica didn't have money or power, so Jenny was not afraid of offending her at all.

Monica sneered. "When does this family become an outsider's? Is there going to be another change? Madam Jane, you have to keep an eye on Mayor Jane. He is very charming man. Don't let others seduce him!"

Jenny knew what Monica meant. How could she say that? It was really impolite. Jenny gasped and was about to retort, but Monica looked at Yale and asked, "Madam Jane, have you cleaned up my room?"

Yale tried to put a smile on her face. "Your room has always been kept."

"It can't be the smallest dark and moist room, can it?"

"No, it's the largest one with sunshine."

"That's good." Monica turned back to tell Lancy with satisfaction. "Lancy, please take the luggage in Mayor Jane's hands upstairs. Thank you very much!"

It was not until then that Jenny noticed that Zoe stood aside with the luggage and looked at them. "What's going on?"

Zoe's eyes were cold and his face was gloomy. He didn't miss what Jenny had done to Monica. In front of so many people, Jenny was treating Monica like this. It could be imagined how arrogant she would be if there was no one.

How much had his daughter suffered?! He ignored Jenny's question and didn't give the luggage to Lancy. Then, he went into the house.

Quarmy and Madrigal also came over. Quarmy looked at Monica with a complicated expression. What did she want to do? He remembered what she said that night. "If you don't get engaged to Madrigal, I... I will consider be with you!"

He did not believe her words and thought that she was doing this for revenge, so he hung up the phone. Later, she called him again but he refused to answer the phone. In the end, he turned off the phone directly.

The moment he saw Monica, he thought that she was here to mess things up. However, when he saw her smiling and clapping her hands, he knew that he was wrong. Monica looked at Quarmy and Madrigal with a mocking smile. "Congratulations, Miss Jane! I hope you have a child soon!"

Madrigal opened her mouth but did not say anything. Quarmy sneered and said, "Thank you, Miss Mo."

"You're welcome! That's what I should do!" Monica smiled. "Take your time, I'll take a look at my room and have some rest!"

Seeing that she entered the house casually, the four people were all unhappy. Yale and Madrigal still had smiles on their faces, but their hearts were in a mess. They did not believe that Monica would do nothing to them.

Jenny was the most ignorant one among them. When she saw Monica's arrogance, she was so angry that she asked Yale in defiance of protocol, "Madam Jane, what's going on?" "Let's talk about it later. Let's go to the hotel and entertain our guests first!" Yale forced a smile. Although there were not many people here, she could not talk about this matter in front of them.

The point was that this matter was very disgraceful for her. After Hannah's death, Zoe came to City A to take office, and she naturally followed him. No one knew that Zoe had a dead ex-wife. She had been always claiming to be his only one all these years. If anyone knew that she used to be a mistress, what should she do?

This engagement banquet was not in the best of atmospheres. Although Zoe attended it, he didn't look as happy as he did in the morning, and his attitude toward Jenny became a little cold.

After the banquet ended and the guests left, Jenny mentioned Monica again. Zoe replied faintly, "Moni is the daughter of my ex-wife."

Jenny's face suddenly turned pale. If it weren't for Quarmy's help, she would have fallen over. "How could it be possible?" Wasn't Monica a poor girl? How did she become Zoe's daughter?

It was impossible that Zoe didn't know about Monica and Quarmy's marriage in City A. Yale and Madrigal knew very well that she clean Monica out of the house. In this case, why Zoe agreed to the engagement of his second daughter and her son?

"Why not?" Zoe looked at Jenny with a hint of impatience. "I'll go back first. Moni hasn't had dinner yet."

Zoe strode out. Yale told Jenny to sit down. Jenny finally recovered. She looked at Yale and asked, "What's going on?"

Yale sighed. "It's a long story. Moni was born by Zoe's ex- wife, Hannah Mo. Because of a misunderstanding, Hannah left with Moni. Later, an accident happened and Hannah died. Her brother Xanjer blamed Zoe on her death. Then, he took Moni away and changed her surname. We'd been looking for her before, and we just found her recently."

Yale was good at lying. Hannah's death was originally caused by her affair with Zoe, but she blamed it on a car accident. Monica left the family because of the mistress and the illegitimate daughter, but she said she was taken away by Xanjer.

Of course, Yale dared to say so because she knew that Zoe would not deny it. Hannah was dead. For his reputation, he would never admit that he used to cheat on his ex-wife.

Quarmy felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. He got up and went out to smoke. Seeing him leave, Yale winked at Madrigal, who immediately followed him.

Quarmy stood outside and lit a cigarette irritably. He felt very uncomfortable after hearing what his mom and Yale said. One was snobbish, and the other was a lair. Thinking of Monica's mocking eyes, he was even more flustered.

Madrigal walked to his side and stood still. "Auntie Sun didn't know that I was surrogacy for my sister, because my mother didn't want anyone to know it. We lied. Don't blame my mother..."

Madrigal defended Yale. "My mother... was indeed disgraceful at that time, but I had no choice. After all, she gave birth to me and raised me up. I couldn't hate her in any case."

Quarmy could understand Madrigal. He also had some opinions about Jenny, but she was still his mother. He couldn't go against her or abandon her.

"Quarmy, if you're unwilling, you can cancel our engagement now. I won't blame you."

Quarmy looked back at her pitiful look and forced a smile. "Don't talk nonsense."

Jenny was not a fool. She did not believe Yale's words. What kind of misunderstanding would make Hannah and Monica leave? Madrigal and Monica were the same age. Yale should be a mistress, right?

And she didn't believe that Zoe and Yale didn't know about what happened between Monica and Quarmy. Since they knew that she abused Monica, why were they still willing to let Madrigal marry Quarmy? Thy must have done it for the Huo Family's money.

At first, she was very shocked and worried that Madrigal and Quarmy's marriage would be canceled. But then she changed her mind. She felt a little flustered. How could she pick out the daughter of a mistress for her son? But when she remembered Monica's conflicts with her, she thought she still preferred Madrigal. Madrigal was gentle, kind, and reasonable. She would not go against her like Monica.

Then, she laughed dryly and said, "I see. What about Quarmy and Madrigal?" "Actually, Zoe and I are also in a dilemma. Zoe once told Monica about this. He was worried that she would have a problem with it, but she turned to be very reasonable. She didn't object to the marriage between Quarmy and Madrigal. In addition, Quarmy and Madrigal are in love with each other, so Zoe and I won't disagree."

Yale was too talkative. After saying much, she used Monica's permission to express her idea. Jenny laughed and said, "Yes. Since Quarmy and Madrigal love each other, how can we, as parents, stop them?"

Yale nodded. "There is no need for them to feel guilty for Monica. Let bygones be bygones!"

"Yes! Let's move on!" Jenny naturally echoed.

"By the way, since you knew about Monica's identity, I have nothing to hide. There is another thing I have to tell you." Yale was a good judge of character. Since Monica came back in a justified way, she would naturally meet Quarmy more. In order to prevent them from being together, she had to be on guard.

"What is it?"

"It wasn't Zoe who refused to help you get the city construction project last time. Monica asked him to give that project to others. Zoe felt guilty for her, so he agreed."

"I see." Jenny seemed to be enlightened, and her hatred for Monica increased a little. If it weren't for her, VSUS wouldn't have lost a large sum of money.

"But don't worry. Zoe has already compensated her. There won't be such a thing in the future." Yale hinted at Jenny.

Jenny nodded. She naturally understood Yale's meaning. Now that things had come to this, she had to let it go. She stood up and said, "It's too late. I'll ask Quarmy to send you back!"

Although Jenny said so, it was Noah who was driving. Madrigal and Yale were sitting in the back seat, while Quarmy was sitting in the passenger seat. The atmosphere was depressing, and they didn't say a word on the way.

Noah glanced at Quarmy with a strange look. Why did he feel that Mr. Quarmy Huo was in a bad mood? What on earth happened?

When they arrived at the Jane family, Quarmy did not get off the car. Madrigal did not stick to him as usual, but waved goodbye to him.

Seeing that Quarmy's car went away, she took a deep breath and said, "Mom, do you think Jenny will believe your words?"

"She has to!" Yale snorted. She had been trying to put on a happy face, and the muscles in her face were stiff. Thinking that it was all Monica's fault, she cursed her in a low voice, "Damn little b*tch, why did you come back? What a jinx!"

"Yeah, I was so nervous today. I thought she would cause trouble, but she didn't do anything."

"By the way, what did Quarmy say?"

"He trusted me. We're good now."

"That's right. Quarmy's always thought that you are innocent. Now he feels sorry for you because of your health. I don't think he would doubt you, but you still have to be careful." Yale reminded her daughter, "Quarmy is good, but he is too filial. If Monica was willing to coax Jenny, how would she be cleaned out? You must remember that no matter what happens, don't provoke Jenny. You must coax her well. As long as she is happy, Quarmy will be yours."

Madrigal nodded. Thinking that Jenny used to force Quarmy to divorce Monica with her life, she told herself that she must try her best to satisfy Jenny.

The mother and daughter stood at the door for a while, and then entered the house. Monica was eating in the dining room. Lancy and Zoe, who sat aside, were looking at her.

After taking a shower and a nap, Monica looked refreshed. She was not as lethargic as she was at noon. The dinner was made by Lancy. She ate it with happiness. "I haven't eaten noodles made by you for a long time, and it's still so delicious!"

Lancy looked at Monica lovingly. "I'll cook whatever you want every day in the future!"

"Thank you, Lancy!" Monica smiled sweetly and continued to eat noodles.

Hearing the noise, Zoe turned around. Seeing Yale and Madrigal, he asked calmly, "You're back?"

Yale walked over with a smile on her face. "Zoe, how can you let Moni eat noodles?"

"Moni said that she didn't want to trouble Lancy." Zoe answered.

"Tomorrow, I'll cook to welcome Moni."

Monica quickly finished the noodles in the bowl, put down the chopsticks and stood up. "I'm full. I'll go upstairs first! Lancy, thank you!"

She completely ignored Yale. Yale was not angry, and she was still smiling. Zoe was very satisfied with her performance. Seeing Monica went upstairs, he asked Yale to go to the study with him. He closed the door and asked, "What did Jenny say?"

"Nothing, she was just surprised. I only said that when Moni was a child, she was taken away by Xanjer. We'd been looking for her before, and we just found her recently."

Zoe nodded. "Whether she believes it or not, that's it. She's really ruthless. Seeing how arrogant she was to Moni, I'm really worried that Madrigal will suffer..."

"No, she didn't know that Moni was your daughter at that time. Madrigal is different. Jenny has to treat her well for your sake."

Zoe nodded. When he thought that Moni was back, he was very happy. "Remember to treat Moni well. She's a kind girl. If you treat her well, she will slowly accept you."

"I know. Don't worry, I will treat her as my daughter."

Zoe's voice softened a little. "Thank you!"

Quarmy returned home. Jenny had been waiting in the living room for a long time. "Quarmy, why did you come back so late?"

Quarmy walked over to her and sat down. "Mom, why don't you rest?"

"I'm waiting for you, aren't I? How can I rest well after such a big thing happened? I want to discuss it with you."

"What's there to discuss?" Quarmy asked.

"Aren't you surprised?" Jenny was very dissatisfied with her son's indifference. "I've experienced so many things, but it still shocked me. Monica and Madrigal are sisters, but why don't they look anything like each other?"

"Siblings can look nothing alike, let alone half-sisters." Quarmy answered faintly.

"Xanjer is so cruel. No matter how much he hates Zoe, he shouldn't have taken Monica away! If Monica had been living with Zoe..."

"Yes, if you knew Monica was Zoe's daughter at that time, you would certainly not do that to her. Am I right?" Quarmy's voice was very calm, but the irony in his tone was very obvious.

Jenny smiled awkwardly. "You can't say that. I asked you to divorce her because she was sterile. It has nothing to do with her identity."

"In that kind of environment, it's normal that she became sterile." Quarmy sneered.

"Let's not talk about this first. You have to be careful. Since Monica came back to the Jane Family, it is inevitable that she will do something bad to us." Jenny reminded him.

"Mom, are you worried that she will take revenge on you?" He sneered. "It's too late."

"Quarmy, everything I did is for your own good! You have to guard against Monica. I always feel that she will definitely retaliate against us!" Jenny knew that her son was unhappy, so was her. She saw Monica's hostility and Zoe's love for Monica very clearly. Otherwise, Zoe wouldn't have been so cold to her after Monica appeared.

Didn't Yale say that it was Monica who stole the city construction project? If Monica continued to play tricks in the future, the sports meeting project might also be someone else's.
