Every Breath You Take

As the saying goes, a quiet conscience sleeps in thunder. Although Eva was not worried that Zoe would find out something, she was still not at ease.

She got off work at night and went home. When she opened the door, she saw a room of lights, but she couldn't see Jim. She knew that Jim must be carving in his bedroom. When would he stop doing it?! Eva sighed and threw the bag on the sofa and sat down.

There was a black-and-white photo of Hannah Mo hanging on the wall in front of her. In the photo, Hannah had a beautiful and dazzling smile. Eva felt more and more upset.

It seemed that she was the winner in the fight against Hannah, but only she and Jim knew it was not true. Although Jim was living with her, they were not lovers but roommates. In all these years, he had never slept with her.

She had tried to seduce Jim, but she failed. Eva felt that she was very cheap. She knew that Jim only loved Hannah, but she didn't want to leave him.

She was not unwronged or unresentful. Every time she felt that she couldn't hold on, she would give vent to Hannah's photo in the living room. "Hannah, did you see that? Your beloved man is living with me. Your husband is with your best friend, and your daughter's man is now her sister's. Let me tell you, this is retribution. I will treat your daughter as what you did to me. I will let your daughter experience what I've suffered. Hannah Mo, you wait and see how I will let your daughter suffer step by step!"

After she repeated it for more than ten times, she would feel better and have the ability to hold on.

This day was no different. Eva sneered at Hannah's photo. "Hannah, your daughter and the son of your beloved man are in love. But don't worry, I won't let her be with him. I will let your beloved man tear them apart. We'll see!"

After saying that, Eva felt better. She got up and knocked on Jim's door, but there was no response. She pushed the door open and saw Jim sitting on the ground and carving.

The wood carving had already taken shape, and it could be seen that it was a woman. Since Hannah died, Jim had done nothing but carve wood. Every woodcarving was Hannah, laughing or angry, standing or sitting. He would carve out everything he could imagine about her appearance. In the house where they lived, there was a whole room for wood carvings.

Eva suppressed the angry in her heart and stood by Jim's side. "Jim, I want to talk to you."

"I'm busy. Let's talk tomorrow!" Jim didn't even give her a look.

"It's about Roland!" Hearing that, Jim stopped. It could be seen that his son was important to him. "What's the matter?"

"I heard that Roland was with that divorced woman again. You'd better go and persuade him!" She was the one who told him that Roland falls in love with Monica last time. She said that Monica was a cheap divorced woman. Jim was so angry that he flew abroad to ask for Old Mr. Wang's help.

"What did you say?" As expected, Jim's expression changed when he heard it. He put down the wooden carving in and stood up. "I'll call Old Mr. Wang."

Seeing that Jim went to make a phone call, Eva sneered. "Jim, if you know that your son likes Hannah's daughter, will you still stop him?"

After Jim's call, Old Mr. Wang immediately flew to Jiang City. The first thing he did after arriving here was to let his bodyguards invite Monica and Xanjer for dinner.

Old Mr. Wang was really angry. Last time, after Monica left, he felt guilty. But he didn't expect that she would play tricks and be with Roland again. Since she wanted to go against him, she couldn't blame him for being heartless. He had already thought of a way to deal with Monica.

Monica was brought to the hotel before Xanjer was. When she saw Old Mr. Wang's gloomy face, she immediately understood his purpose. She wanted to explain that she had nothing to do with Roland. At the same time, Xanjer arrived here.

"Uncle, why are you here?" Monica stood up and stopped Xanjer. "Uncle, it has nothing to do with you. You may go back now. I will explain it clearly to Old Mr. Wang."

"I invited him here." Old Mr. Wang picked up his teacup leisurely without giving Xanjer a look. "Miss Mo looks like you didn't take what I said to you last time seriously. So I want to talk about it again with Mr. Mo."

"Fine! I'd love to!" Xanjer came forward and said, "How are you, Old Mr. Wang?"

Old Mr. Wang, who was drinking, suddenly looked up when he heard Xanjer's words. When he saw Xanjer's appearance clearly, he was so surprised that the cup in his hand suddenly tilted, and the tea ran over his clothes.

Monica was very surprised by Old Mr. Wang's gaffe. Xanjer stepped forward and took the cup from Old Mr. Wang's hand and put it on the table. He turned to Monica and said, "Moni, you go out first. I want to talk to him!"

"No, I want to stay with you!" Monica was unwilling to leave. Old Mr. Wang was a scheming man who had been in the business for decades, while Xanjer was just a simple- minded ordinary person. How could he be Old Mr. Wang's opponent?

The most important thing was that she was the one who caused this. She had to deal with it.

Xanjer smiled faintly and picked up a tissue to wipe the tea off Old Mr. Wang's body. "Don't worry, I'm not that cowardly."

Old Mr. Wang also came to his senses, and he immediately returned to normal. His voice was completely different from before, which was less domineering and sounded much softer. He said, "Miss Mo, you go back first. I have something to say to your uncle."

Seeing that Monica did not leave, he raised his voice and ordered the bodyguards. "Send Miss Mo back!" At the same time, Roland rushed over. "Grandpa, what are you doing? It has nothing to do with them." "Roland, you came just in time. Take Miss Mo to dinner. I want to talk to Mr. Mo."

"But..."

"Don't worry. I won't eat him."

"Yeah. You can rest assured and go to eat." Xanjer added.

Roland took Monica away and left. The door was closed. Old Mr. Wang stared at Xanjer. He was really surprised. He had never dreamed that Xanjer was that guy. "What's going on? How did you become Xanjer?"

"It's a long story." Xanjer sat down, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea. He moved with the utmost grace, without the fainthearted look of his former self. "Not long after I returned to Jiang City, the real Xanjer died of illness. At that time, everyone was looking for me. I was really annoyed, so I lived as Xanjer."

"No wonder I was unable to find you before." Old Mr. Wang sighed deeply. "Why did you do that? Is that woman worth it?"

"Of course!" Xanjer replied, "Life is short. I will only do what I want."

"Sigh! Being an ordinary person is really what you, a genius designer, want?" Old Mr. Wang shook his head regretfully, completely forgetting why he had asked Xanjer to come here.

Xanjer smiled slightly. "Old Mr. Wang, let's get down to business." "You are not real Xanjer. What's the point of me talking to you?"

"For Moni, I am her uncle, and I am used to be Xanjer. You can say whatever you want."

"Can I?" Old Mr. Wang sighed. "Your appearance really surprised me. I forgot what I was going to do tonight."

"Well, in that case, I'll go first. Old Mr. Wang, we are acquaintances, so let's get straight to the point. I hope you won't tear Moni and Roland apart."

Old Mr. Wang gave a wry smile. "Francisco, you and I are old friends. Naturally, I will not refuse your request. Flowever, Monica is Flannah's daughter. If Roland knows that..."

"Flow will he know? There are only a few people who know about this matter. If we don't tell him, he will never know the truth."

"But paper can't cover the fire. Can this matter be hidden forever?" Old Mr. Wang thought it wouldn't work.

"I know what you mean, but it's not easy for a playboy to find a woman he likes. Old Mr. Wang, do you want him to be sad? To be honest, based on what I've experienced, I think love can surpass everything. Jim and I are examples. We'd all die for an impossible woman. Do you want to see Roland become like us?" Xanjer continued, "What's more, Roland probably doesn't know that Jim abandoned him for Hannah. After all, Eva is the one who lives with Jim now."

"I..." Old Mr. Wang naturally did not want his grandson to become the second Jim, but when he thought that Roland, who had a promising future, would be with a single mother, he felt depressed. However, Roland was not a pushover. If he pissed him off, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I know your worries. I didn't ask you to support them. I only hope you won't tear them apart. If Moni and Roland are destined to be together, you can't stop them. If not, it's only a matter of time before they split up. Do you understand?"

Old Mr. Wang knew what Xanjer meant. He was silent for a while and finally nodded. "Fine. Let nature take its course!"

"Thank you very much, Old Mr. Wang!" Xanjer clasped his fist in thanks.

Although Roland and Monica went to have dinner, they were not in the mood to eat. They had been paying attention to the movements in the private room. Finally, they saw the door open. Xanjer and Old Mr. Wang came out one after another.

Both of them looked calm. Roland and Monica went to greet them. Xanjer said first, "Moni, send me back!" Then he turned his head, saying goodbye to Old Mr. Wang and Roland politely.

Monica helped Xanjer out of the hotel. After getting in the car, she looked at Xanjer worriedly. "Uncle, did Old Mr. Wang embarrass you? I'm sorry!"

"No, Old Mr. Wang is a very polite elder," Xanjer answered.

Monica did not believe it. "Uncle, I will make it clear to him later. It's my fault. I'll let him not disturb you in the future."

"Moni, we have made it clear. When he heard what you had been through, he took pity on you and admired you. He said that he will no longer oppose you being with Roland. So if you like Roland, you can rest assured. No one will stop you!"

Monica was a little surprised. She did not believe that her uncle could convince Old Mr. Wang. But now even if Old Mr. Wang did not stop her, she was not in the mood to start a relationship, because her son was still in danger. "Uncle, I won't like anyone. I only care about the safety of Coco now. Other things are not important."

"Don't worry! Coco will be fine." Xanjer comforted her. "I think Roland is a good man. You can try to be with him."

Monica naturally knew that. However, if Roland knew that her mother was his most hated woman, would he still like her? "Uncle, I have something to ask you. Did Mom have a relationship with Roland's father?"

"How did you know that?" Xanjer looked at Monica in shock.

"Roland's father abandoned his wife and son for my mom?"

"You can't say that." Xanjer's reply made Monica's heart sink. Roland couldn't ever forgive his father. How could he forgive her? Did she really deserve Roland's love?

On the other side, Roland helped his grandpa get in the car. "Grandpa, I'm telling you this with all seriousness. I took the initiative to pursue her. I've thought about it carefully. You know my character. I won't give up. I hope that you will not disturb Xanjer and Monica again."

Old Mr. Wang sighed in his heart. If Roland knew that Monica was the child of the woman he hated the most, would he still say that?

Suddenly, he felt sorry for his grandson. He finally had a crush on a woman, but she was the daughter of his most hated woman. If he knew that, how sad would he be? Forget it, let nature took its course! He thought to himself. "Roland, I'll stay out of it. I only hope that you can focus on your work and don't let me down!"

This meant that he would not stop him from dating Monica. Roland could not believe it. "Grandpa, are you having a fever?"

"Boy, how can you curse me?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Roland's face was full of joy. "Grandpa, don't worry. I never dare to be careless about my work. I'll prove myself!"

Quarmy was secretly happy to hear Old Mr. Wang's arrival. He would definitely tear Roland and Monica apart. Quarmy believed that Roland was gonna suffer.

But things didn't work out the way he thought it would. After staying in Jiang City for a few days, Old Mr. Wang left without doing anything.

Quarmy was quite surprised. Old Mr. Wang's leave meant that he acquiesced in the relationship between Roland and Monica.

There would be no resistance between Monica and Roland. Quarmy was really upset. He had been engaged to Madrigal and had no right to care about who Monica was with, but he couldn't forget Monica. He was sure that he didn't want her to be with another man.

Roland seemed to know that Old Mr. Wang's arrival was related to Quarmy, so he started to go against him. He sneered at him face to face and secretly played tricks on him. He even used the beauty trap. Quarmy was completely immune to the beauties, so Roland's trick didn't work. Even so, Quarmy was annoyed.

It was beyond his expectation that Roland would get back to him. Of course, he would never know that what Roland did had nothing to do with revenge. He just wanted to get his sperm for Monica.

It bothered Roland that Quarmy didn't fall for it. Didn't Quarmy like cheating? How could he refuse many beauties?

It seemed that he had to attain his end by hook or by crook. But how? When Roland was thinking, Monica gave him an invitation to the 10th-anniversary party of Han's Group Group. When he saw it was in Shangri-La Hotel, he frowned and immediately came up with an idea.

Han's Group was also a well-known company in Jiang City. The party would definitely be very grand, and Quarmy must have been invited. Roland believed that he would definitely attend this party. The Shangri-La Hotel belonged to the Gu family. As long as Leon agreed, he could do anything he wanted here. This time, he wanted to teach Quarmy a lesson.

Quarmy was indeed invited. Though he didn't want to attend this party, he had no other choice. Roland would be there too. When he thought that Roland would go with Monica, he felt unhappy. The secretary did not know that he was upset and asked him in a soft voice, "Mr. Huo, do you want me to inform Miss Jane?"

Quarmy didn't want to show up with Madrigal at all, but he had to do so. After all, they were an unmarried couple. He sighed heavily. "Yes!"

At seven o'clock in the evening, Roland took Monica's hand into the banquet hall. Monica was wearing an off-shoulder knee-length gown. Her long hair was tied behind her head. Her slender and fair legs attracted the attention of countless people.

Seeing Roland holding Monica's waist, Quarmy's face darkened. Roland looked for Quarmy with his eyes as soon as he entered the hall. When he saw Quarmy and Madrigal, he showed an evil smile and whispered in Monica's ear in a low voice. "Tonight, I have prepared the best gift for Quarmy. I hope he will be satisfied."

"What do you want to do?" Monica was very curious.

"Don't you think tonight is a perfect opportunity?" Roland winked at Monica.

"Tonight?" Monica immediately understood what Roland was going to do. She lowered her voice and said, "But his fiancee is here."

"Don't worry, I got this!" Roland walked towards Quarmy with Monica. He and Quarmy greeted each other politely as if they were friends.

Madrigal was wearing a chest-length, floor-length dress. She was tall and slim, and the dress outlined her sensuality to the extreme. Roland looked at Madrigal with evil eyes and said with a faint smile, "Mr. Huo and Miss Jane are getting married?"

Roland did it on purpose. Quarmy subconsciously looked at Monica, the whole face was full of happiness. He was a little annoyed, so he nodded his head.

"Don't forget to invite us." Roland naturally saw Quarmy's unhappiness and added.

"Of course, Mr. Wang," Madrigal said with a smile.

At this time, some people who knew Roland came over. Roland stopped this topic and warmly chatted with them. The third son of the Han family, Josiah, also came with a female star. Josiah had a good relationship with Roland. He also heard what they said before. He interrupted, "Mr. Huo and Miss Jane are getting married. Roland, hurry up. Propose to Miss Mo as soon as possible."

"I will." Roland held Monica's waist tightly and looked at Quarmy provocatively. Although Quarmy had a slight smile on his face, he couldn't wait to cut Roland's damn hand.

A waiter came over. Roland reached out and took two glasses of wine for Monica and himself. Quarmy also took two glasses and handed one to Madrigal. At this time, the waiter suddenly lost his balance and the wine in the tray was sprinkled on Quarmy and Madrigal.

Madrigal's hair was completely wet, and her snow-white dress was dyed red, which looked shocking. Quarmy was slightly better, but his suit was stained with wine. He looked unhappy, but he didn't lose his temper in front of so many people.

Hearing the sound, Roland turned around and looked at all this gloatingly. Josiah's face changed. He glared at the waiter and said, "Are you crazy? How could you cause trouble at this time?"

The manager came over in a hurry and apologized to Quarmy. "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo!"

Roland said slowly, "So what if you're sorry? Look at what Miss Jane looks like now."

Being stared at by so many people, Madrigal felt so embarrassed. Naturally, she didn't want to stay here at all. She looked at Quarmy. "Quarmy..." She wanted him to send her home. Josiah was also very angry, but it couldn't change anything. Quarmy was an important guest, so he couldn't just leave like this. Josiah looked at Roland. "Dude, do you have a spare suit in the car?"

Everyone knew that Roland always had a spare suit in his car. The key point was that he was about the same size as Quarmy. Roland smiled. "Yes, I just bought a new one a few days ago. If Mr. Huo doesn't mind, I can give it to him!" Then he looked at Madrigal meaningfully. "I also have a dress in my car. Miss Jane, if you don't mind, I'll give it to you! But I don't know if it fits you well."

The spare dress in Roland's car must have been prepared for his girlfriends. Madrigal wouldn't accept it because she felt noble in her status. "Thank you, Mr. Wang. I'd better go back and change clothes." Josiah repeatedly apologized and asked the driver to send Madrigal home. Since Josiah offered to give Quarmy a new, Quarmy wouldn't make things difficult for him. But Quarmy felt that this waiter's behavior was a little strange. Looking at the grin on Roland's face, it was possible that Roland had deliberately ordered him to do so. He wanted to see what on earth Roland wanted to do, so he went to a room to change into Roland's suit.

The banquet continued. Quarmy returned after changing clothes. Josiah came to toast and apologize again. Quarmy naturally couldn't refuse, so he drank a glass of wine.

Later, he refused others' wine on the grounds that he had a weak stomach. Most of the people who attended the banquet knew it, so they stopped toasting him. However, Roland did not care about this. He smiled and walked to Quarmy with a glass of wine in his hand. "What a happy day. I propose a toast to Mr. Huo."

Quarmy did not take the glass in his hand. Instead, he looked at him coldly. "I wonder what you are happy about?"

"Let me tell you." Roland directly sat down beside Quarmy. "I'm glad that you and Miss Jane are getting married!"

"You and I are just normal friends. I don't understand why you are so happy." Quarmy retorted.

"Well, of course, I'm happy." Roland was still smiling. "After you and Miss Jane get married, we'll be relatives. Shouldn't I be happy?"

"Are you drunk?" Quarmy naturally knew what Roland meant. He was extremely unhappy. "As far as I know, you have nothing to do with the Jane family. Why should we be relatives?"

"Isn't it obvious? Although Miss Jane's mom is a mistress, she is Mayor Jane's daughter. Although Moni doesn't admit it, they are half-sisters. You are Miss Jane's boyfriend and I am Moni's boyfriend, so you should call me brother-in-law."

"Roland, shut up!" Quarmy glared at him.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Monica came over. "Why are you yelling?"

"I congratulated him and Miss Jane, but he is unhappy."

"You must have said some unpleasant words." Monica took the wine glass from Roland's hand. "Mr. Huo, please forgive Roland. You and Miss Jane are going to get married, but I haven't congratulated you yet Let me toast your wedding."

Monica handed the wine to Quarmy, but he did not take it. He just stared at Monica. Monica looked at him with a beautiful smile. "I wish you a happy marriage and a lot of children!"

Quarmy raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He reached out and took the wine glass from Monica's hand. "Thank you so much, Miss Mo!" Then he raised his head and drank it up. Seeing that, Monica and Roland look at each other with joy. Quarmy waved his hand and a waiter came over with wine. Quarmy took a glass of wine from the waiter's hand and handed it to Roland. "Mr. Wang, I shouldn't have yelled at you just now. Let me drink a toast to you!" "Never mind!" Roland took the wine glass and clinked it with Quarmy. Then he drank up the wine and showed the empty glass to Quarmy. Quarmy didn't say much and drank up his wine.

"Thank you, Mr. Huo. Let's go over there!" Roland put down his glass and held Monica's waist to leave. Quarmy watched them leave with no expression on his face. After a while, he suddenly felt dizzy and fell on the sofa. At this time, a waiter came over. "Sir, what's wrong?"

A familiar voice sounded. "Mr. Huo must have drunk too much. Please send him upstairs to rest. This is the room card!"

Someone helped Quarmy up to a guest room. Roland winked at Monica, indicating that he succeeds. Monica showed a grateful smile to him. "Thank you, that means a lot! You have drunk a lot. Do you want to have a rest?"

"Don't worry, I can drink more!" Roland suddenly covered his stomach and said painfully, "I'll go to the bathroom!"

After Roland went into the bathroom for a long time, he covered his stomach and came out. "How are you?" Monica asked with concern.

"I... I have diarrhea!" Roland looked at Monica awkwardly.

"Is it serious?" Monica reached out to hold him.

"Yes!" After that, he let go of Monica's hand and ran into the bathroom.

A few minutes later, he came out with his hands on his stomach. As soon as he walked to Monica, he rushed into the bathroom again. Seeing that, Monica became anxious. She immediately called Beck and asked him to send Roland to the hospital.

How could Roland be willing to leave? He wanted to wait for a good show, but he was already exhausted. Beck worried about his health and forced him to go to the hospital. When they left, Beck handed Monica a room card. "This is the key card from the room next to his. You can wait for someone to inform you there. If you need anything, please call me."

Monica took the room card and went upstairs. When Quarmy went to change clothes, Roland had told her that there was knockout powder in the wine she gave to Quarmy. After Quarmy fainted, someone would send him into the guest room. In the guest room, there was a beautiful woman waiting for him. That woman would inform them after she had sex with Quarmy. At that time, they could go to the room and

get Quarmy's sperm.

But Roland and Beck went to the hospital. Monica was very nervous. She didn't know what happened in the next room, but since Quarmy already fainted, she thought that he wouldn't be able to escape. Monica waited in the room for a long time, but no one came to inform her. She was very clear about how strong Quarmy was, so she waited for another half an hour patiently. When she couldn't wait any longer she got up and went out.

Quarmy's room was right next door. Monica quietly walked over and put her ears close to the door, but she didn't hear any abnormal sound. Did that beauty pass out from exhaustion? In the past, she usually passed out while having sex with Quarmy. Therefore, she was sure that beauty fainted.

She could not wait any longer. Although the survival time of sperm was long, in order to be safe, she still needed to send it to the hospital as soon as possible. Then, she gently knocked on the door twice. As she knocked on the door, the door opened. Someone quickly covered her mouth before she could see clearly what was going on inside. She immediately lost consciousness when she smelled a faint

fragrance.
