Every Breath You Take

Chapter 129

Eva was really upset when she left the Huo Family. Although she knew that Jenny was fickle, she

never thought that Jenny would break her promise to herself.

It was a great blow to Eva. If Madrigal hadn't been pregnant or there hadn't been something wrong with

her body, they could have found another way. However, they had no other choice now.

Madrigal's babies must be kept and accepted by Quarmy. However, Eva was also very clear about

Jenny's personality. Her love and hatred were all unconditional.

That was why Eva had been putting Monica down and complimenting Madrigal. Her words had made

Jenny disgusted with Monica before.

Eva didn't expect that someone would use the same trick to deal with Madrigal. What should she do

now? © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She had to discuss with Yale and figure out a way to deal with it as soon as possible.

Yale was also having a hard time these days. After Evan was sent to the police station by Quarmy, the

police interrogated Evan and made a special confession.

Because Zoe had specifically given instructions for the kidnapping, the policeman specifically reported

this matter to Zoe. Zoe went to the police station in person. After reading the interrogation report, his

face changed.

The man who ordered Evan to kidnap Monica turned out to be Nine, the local ruffian in the Cat's Alley.

Nine and Monica did not know each other. Why did Nine want to deal with Monica.

Nine was definitely not the real mastermind behind the scenes. But who could it be?

Monica was kind and hardly made trouble. Zoe was sure that Monica would not offend others. Who on

earth wanted to get rid of her?

Hearing that it was Quarmy who sent Evan here, Zoe came to Quarmy and asked him what he thought

about this matter. Quarmy smiled faintly and said, "Evan said that it was Nine who ordered him to do

this. Let's talk about it after the police catch Nine."

"Do you think the mastermind behind this is Nine?" Zoe asked.

"Otherwise?" Quarmy smiled politely, but there was no smile in his eyes. Why did Zoe ask that? Did he

really want to find out the person behind the scene?

Quarmy used to respect Zoe, but recently he despised Zoe very much. Zoe slept with his wife's best

friend, married a mistress, and left his own daughter outside for so many years. Was he still a human?

He didn't believe that Zoe was sincerely doing Monica's good. For Zoe, his career was more important

than anything else. If he knew that Yale did it, he might not help Monica. Instead, he would find a way

to suppress this matter for his reputation. Quarmy was not going to let Yale get the punishment she

deserved.

"I don't think this matter is that simple. Nine is just a gangster. He doesn't know Moni. How could he

think of kidnapping her?" Zoe told his worries to Quarmy. "I suspect that someone else ordered Nine to

do so."

"Who do you suspect?" Quarmy asked.

"I..." Zoe suspected Yale. Yale was from the Cat's Alley, so she naturally knew Nine. However, he had

no proof and Yale was his wife. His wife set his daughter up? How embarrassing it was!

Zoe suddenly realized that if this matter was related to Yale, he would also be affected. His reputation

would be ruined, and he would have no hope of promotion.

Zoe swallowed back what he wanted to say. This matter could not be known to the public. He had to

slowly investigate it. If it was really done by Yale, he had a thousand ways to deal with her.

Seeing Zoe hesitating, Quarmy sneered in his heart. "I knew it. Fortunately, I didn't trust him."

Zoe felt strange. Did Quarmy really have no suspects? He had to find out the truth and get rid of the

threat as soon as possible.

Zoe started to suspect Yale. When he came back, he looked at Yale with a meaningful look.

Although Zoe did not say anything else, for Yale, who had been observing him all the time, the

meaningful look was a sign of danger. Yale then went to ask his driver Ted. Ted followed Zoe every day,

so he naturally knew his schedule well. He immediately told Yale that Zoe went to the police station.

When Yale heard that Evan had been caught, she was frightened. It seemed that Evan had confessed

something that made Zoe suspect her.

Yale was really freaked out. However, when she designed to set Monica up, she did not directly contact

Evan. Instead, she did it through Nine. As long as the police did not catch Nine, she would be safe.

Yale was glad that Nine had immigrated, or she would have been in trouble now. Although Zoe

suspected her, he had no proof. As long as she insisted that she was innocent, Zoe had no way to deal

with her.

However, she still had to find a way to save herself. She couldn't let Zoe keep suspecting her.

Yale thought of Eva and was ready to discuss it with her.

Just as she was about to call Eva, Eva called her and said that she had something very important to

discuss with her, asking her to come out immediately.

Hearing Eva's abnormal voice, Yale thought that something bad must have happened. She started to

panic. Did Jenny say something to Eva?

Yale immediately came to the appointed place. When she entered the private room, she saw that Eva

looked very unhappy.

Eva was also a scheming person. She never easily showed her thoughts. Seeing her expression,

Yale's heart sank. She put her own affairs aside and asked, "You look unhappy. What happened?"

"I just came out of the Huo family. Jenny has made it clear that she won't accept Madrigal!" Eva sighed.

"No way. This old woman has no credit at all?"

"Credit? What's that?" Eva asked with a sneer, "To Jenny, her preferences are more important than her

credit."

"What should we do?"

"How do I know what to do?" Eva answered with anger. When she thought that everything was caused

by Yale, she was full of anger. She really wanted to slap Yale's face a few times, but she she didn't

dare to do it. She knew very well that it was not the time for her to argue with Yale because her

daughter depended on Yale.

Feeling her gaffe, Eva picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to ease her dissatisfaction with Yale

and temporarily suppressed her anger.

Yale naturally knew why Eva was so angry. She herself was also angry, but she was not in the mood to

argue with Eva. At this critical moment, she had to rely on Eva, this evil woman, for the sake of her

daughter. After comforting herself in her heart, she tried to say as if nothing had happened, "Isn't Jenny

your best friend? Why don't you persuade her?"

"If I could persuade her, how would I be here? A b*stard exposed what you did before. Jenny hates

mistresses the most. When she heard that you and Hannah were friends, she became angrier. She

said very clearly that she would not let a mistress's daughter be her daughter-in-law. She also doubted

that Madrigal had been deceiving her." Eva sighed. "The most terrible thing is that she began to dislike

me for defending Madrigal. Therefore, I don't dare to speak for Madrigal again."

"Isn't Jenny fond of children? You can use it. I don't believe that she doesn't like Madrigal's babies. She

has to accept Madrigal for the sake of her babies, right?"

"Forget it. Jenny said that she already had two grandsons. She would only want Monica's children."

Eva told everything to Yale. "Jenny now likes Monica and hates Madrigal. Monica also has Quarmy's

support, while Madrigal is helpless. I think that it is impossible for Madrigal to marry Quarmy."

"This old woman is really hateful. D*mn it, why didn't she say it earlier? What should we do?" Yale was

so angry that she cursed.

"Yes. If Madrigal was not pregnant, we would still have a way out. Now, what should we do?" Eva also

had a headache.

"Let's get some money from Quarmy. He has so much money, and he used to be generous to Madrigal.

Madrigal is pregnant with twins, he will definitely treat Madrigal well. Moreover, the twins will have the

right to inherit his property. If we can get some shares of VSUS, we won't suffer losses."

"Stop dreaming. Jenny said that she wouldn't give a penny to Madrigal. She would give everything to

Monica's children. She said that she could raise Madrigal's children, but if Madrigal wanted to raise the

children herself, she wouldn't pay for it."

"How vicious!" Yale was furious when she heard that. "Didn't she crazily want a grandson and ask

Madrigal to be a surrogate? Otherwise, how would Madrigal get pregnant before getting married?

Because of her, Madrigal has been a surrogate twice and her body is seriously affected. How can

Jenny not be responsible for it? Is there any justice? No, I have to talk to her." Yale was going to stand

up.

Eva hurriedly reached out to stop her. "Calm down. What's the use of talking to her? It'll only make

things worse."

Yale gritted her teeth and said, "But I can't put up with it."

"For Madrigal, you have to put up with it. Now that things have become like this, anger can't change

anything. We have to find a way to deal with it." Eva persuaded Yale. In her impression, Yale had

always been calm. How did she suddenly lose her composure? Eva was really afraid that Yale would

lose her mind and argue with Jenny. Now Jenny had already hated Yale. If Yale went to her again, she

would definitely be annoyed. At that time, it would be really impossible for Madrigal to marry Quarmy.

"How should we deal with it? Jenny is no longer on our side."

"There must be a way." Eva comforted, "Cool down. We've experienced so much. Can everything we're

facing now be worse than what we met before?"

Yale nodded, picked up her cup and took a sip of tea. She had indeed lost her composure just now

because Madrigal's matter and Evan's appearance made her anxious. Eva was right. Anger couldn't

change anything. She had to think of a way to deal with it.

At that time, she had nothing, but she still became the mayor's wife. She was no longer the poor

woman she used to be. She didn't believe that she couldn't find a way to solve this problem.

Seeing Yale calmed down, Eva was relieved and asked tentatively, "You are not an impatient person.

What's wrong with you?"

Yale sighed. "Evan was caught."

"What?! When did this happen?" Eva was shocked. She knew who Evan was. If what Yale did was

exposed, Zoe would eat Yale alive. No wonder Yale would lose her composure. "Zoe knows that?"

"Yes, he went to the police station. When he came back, he looked strange. I felt that something was

wrong, so I asked his driver. The driver said that Evan gave the name of Nine. Zoe must have

suspected me, so I came to discuss it with you."

"D*amn it!" Eva was also panicked. Monica didn't know Nine so Zoe would definitely suspect Yale. Zoe

was cunning and scheming. If he began to investigate, he would definitely know the truth. "How much

does Evan know?"

"He only knows that it's Nine who ordered him to do so. At present, although Zoe suspects me, he

doesn't have any evidence. After all, Nine has immigrated." Yale explained.

"Thank God. But you still have to be careful. We must find a way to distract Zoe so that he won't have

time to investigate this matter."

"That's what I mean. The only thing that can distract Zoe are his career and Monica. We can't affect his

career, but we can deal with Monica..."

Eva nodded. "Yes. Now there are so many people around Monica, we have to think of a perfect way."

The private room was quiet for the time being. The two began to think. After a while, Eva suddenly

said, "I got one."

"Tell me."

"We can turn Jenny against Monica and let them hate each other."

"This is a little difficult. I heard from Lassie that Jenny had apologized to Monica personally. Monica is

not a ruthless woman, so I think she will forgive Jenny." Yale felt that it was not a good idea.

Eva didn't think so. "I don't think Monica will believe Jenny. Instead, she will suspect that Jenny has

other purposes. As long as Monica doesn't trust Jenny, we can get what we want."

"But what about Quarmy? He won't let us do it." Yale still thought it was impossible.

"Don't worry, I will set all of them up this time..." Eva lowered her voice and began to tell Yale her plan.

"Great, you are really awesome." After knowing Eva's plan, Yale was very excited. "We can not only

stop Quarmy from trusting Monica, but also get rid of Jenny and give Madrigal a chance. It's really a

perfect plan."

However, Eva was not complacent at all. "We need Lassie's help. You have to let her get prepared.

Don't let her ruin our plan."

"Don't worry, I will." Xanjer was surprised at Jenny's attitude. Jenny used to be arrogant and bossy.

How could she suddenly lower her head and apologize to Monica? Jenny's leg was broken by Monica.

At that time, Jenny hated Monica so much that she wanted to send Monica to jail. How could she have

such a big change? It was really incredible.

After Jenny left, Xanjer and Monica discussed it. Xanjer felt that Jenny must have other purposes, so

he let Monica be wary of her.

Monica had the same idea. She didn't intend to believe Jenny. When they were talking, Quarmy came

in a hurry and asked, "Moni, did my mother apologize to you just now?"

Monica nodded. "Yes, Uncle and I are talking about this matter. Why did your mother suddenly

change?"

"She finally knows the true colors of Madrigal and Yale, so she is very regretful. She said that she

would no longer oppose us being together." Quarmy told Monica, "Moni, since she said so, for the sake

of the child, let's get married."

Monica knew that Quarmy was serious, but she didn't dare to promise him. She was a mother, and she

couldn't bear to be tortured. As she was about to speak, Xanjer said, "Quarmy, your mother is fickle.

We can't believe what she said. Moni has suffered too much. Let's talk about this matter after Coco

recovers."

"Moni!" Quarmy looked at Monica said with pleading. Monica smiled faintly. "Quarmy, Uncle is right.

Coco is sick now. Let's talk about it later."

Quarmy went home dejectedly. Seeing that, Jenny knew that he must have been rejected by Monica.

She comforted her son. "It's all my fault for disappointing Monica. Don't worry. From now on, I will take

the initiative to care about her and Coco. She is not a ruthless woman. I believe that she will be

moved."

Quarmy said, "Mom, you should be more concerned about Monica in the future. If she is not polite to

you, you should also stand it for the sake of your grandson."

"Okay, I will." Jenny promised.

Lassie had been secretly paying attention to the conversation between Quarmy and Jenny. She

immediately told Yale what they said. Yale was very happy that Monica refused to forgive Jenny. She

had to admit that Eva was smarter. It was a great thing for them. It seemed that they had to take the

opportunity to deal with Monica. Therefore, she told Lassie her plan.

During this period of time, Lassie had been scolded by Jenny many times. Seeing that Jenny was

preparing to alienate herself, Lassie hated Jenny to the core and naturally agreed with Yale's plan.

In order to find the perfect time to execute the plan, Yale asked Lassie to keep an eye on Jenny and

Monica,

Although Evan was arrested, Quarmy knew that it would take a long time for the police to catch Evan.

The police were really inefficient, and kidnapping was not a big criminal case. There were too many

such cases for Interpol.

Quarmy thought that he had to find another way to catch Nine. He thought of Roland. The Wang family

was powerful abroad. It would definitely be helpful than the police.

While he was thinking about it, Noah came in and said that Roland's men were also following Yale. It

seemed that Roland was also suspecting Yale.

Noah wanted Quarmy to be friends with Roland. There was no conflict between Quarmy and Roland. It

was because of Monica that their relationship became like this.

Since both of them were doing good for Monica, they should make peace with each other.

Quarmy and Roland were both proud and arrogant. It was impossible to let either of them take the

initiative to apologize. However, the situation was different this time. Quarmy was willing to do

everything for Monica, so he took the initiative to call Roland for dinner.

Of course, Roland did not refuse Quarmy's invitation. He knew that Quarmy did it for Monica. Quarmy

had proposed to Monica and Jenny had also changed her mind, but Monica did not say anything.

Roland guessed that Quarmy must want him to persuade Monica.

When Roland arrived, Quarmy had been waiting for him for a long time. Seeing Roland, he personally

poured tea for Roland. Roland picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Mr. Huo, what can I do for you?"

"Let's enjoy the dinner first." Then, the waiter came in to serve dishes, which were all Roland's

favorites. Roland squinted his eyes and said, "I guess you want me to do something." "For Mr. Wang,

it's just a piece of cake." Quarmy smiled and poured wine for Roland in person. "Mr. Wang, please!"

Roland did not raise his glass. "Quarmy, let me tell you in advance that I will not help you to persuade

Monica. I would rather let Monica and Leon be together."

Quarmy was not angry. "Mr. Wang, you misunderstood. To tell you the truth, I've never expected

someone else to help me persuade Monica. I'm not here for this."

Hearing that, Roland picked up his glass. They drank their wine up in one gulp. Quarmy was so polite

that he took the initiative to pick up food for Roland, "Mr. Wang, try this. It's fresh."

Roland tasted the fish. It was really delicious. Quarmy did go to a lot of trouble to please him. He put

down his chopsticks and said, "Mr. Huo, what can I do for you?"

"I want you to investigate someone."

"This person is abroad?" Roland immediately understood what he meant. If this person was not

abroad, Quarmy wouldn't need his help.

"Yes."

"Okay. Give me his information, and I'll let my grandpa help you." Roland was very straightforward.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang!"Roland's answer made Quarmy overjoyed. He immediately took out the

information of Nine and handed it to Roland. "His nickname is Nine. This is his information."

"Why do you want to investigate him?" Roland took the document and put it aside. "Do you still

remember Evan, the man who kidnapped Moni before? He asked Evan to do so." Quarmy told Roland

everything.

Roland shook his head. "This person doesn't know Monica. How would he think of kidnapping Monica?

I'm sure that Nine is not behind this."

Quarmy nodded. "Yes, so I'm going to catch Nine and find out the mastermind behind the scenes!"

"Alright, leave this to me. One more question. Mr. Huo, who do you think is behind this?"

Quarmy said, "I suspect Madrigal and Yale."

"I have the same idea. Why don't you tell Mayor Jane about this?"

"To tell you the truth, Zoe once came to me and asked if I had a suspect. I didn't tell him."

"Why not? If you tell him, he will help you to investigate Yale."

"Well, I don't trust him."

"Why?"

"You must have known about the relationship between Yale and Monica's mother. Zoe betrayed his

wife, married his mistress and threw his own daughter to Xanjer for so many years. Do you think he will

really care about his daughter?" Quarmy asked.

"Well, it makes sense. Zoe is indeed unreliable. You should investigate this matter yourself."

"I'm afraid that Zoe will choose to cover up Yale for his reputation. In this way, we will have no way to

deal with Yale. I have no proof now, so I have to find Nine first. When I have proof, even if Zoe wants to

cover up Yale, he will not be able to do so." Quarmy was telling the truth.

Roland nodded. "In fact, I've been investigating Yale, but I haven't made any progress."

"Why did you investigate Yale?" Quarmy was puzzled.

"I suspect that Yale caused the death of Monica's mother. It's just that I have no evidence." Roland told

Quarmy what his mother told him.

Quarmy's face became serious. "If what your mother said is true, the death of Monica's mom is

definitely not an accident. This matter must be investigated carefully."

Roland immediately asked his grandpa to investigate Nine and catch him.

Old Mr. Wang agreed and immediately ordered his men to find Nine. This matter was a bit tricky.

Therefore, Roland also called Leon and asked him to investigate Nine.

Jenny sincerely wanted to make up for Monica. Now that Monica was pregnant, she felt that she should

do something. So she bought many children's clothes, toys, and maternity stuff for Monica.

Monica was still polite to Jenny. Seeing so many gifts and Jenny's kind face, Coco was not so afraid of

Jenny. He stayed by Monica's side and watched Monica and Jenny chatting.

The more Jenny looked at Coco, the more she liked him. Because of illness, Coco was not as fat as

those healthy children. He was thin and his face was pale. Jenny felt very sad. It was all her fault. If she

had not treated Monica like that, Monica would not have suffered so much, and her grandson might not

have been sick.

She really wanted to hug her grandson and kiss him, but she was afraid that she would scare him like

last time. She tried to give Coco the toys she bought. Coco hesitated and looked at Monica. Monica

nodded and Coco reached out to take the toys.

Seeing that, Jenny was very happy, so she tried to touch Coco's little hand. Coco did not refuse, and

Jenny was even happier.

Monica looked very thin. Jenny knew that she was worried about Coco's body, so she comforted

Monica and let her take care of herself. As long as her unborn child was healthy, Coco would be cured.

After talking for a while, Jenny left. On the way back, Jenny was still worried about Monica. Monica was

so thin and weak. Would it affect her baby? No, she had to find a way to make Monica fatter. She

decided to buy something nutritious for Monica.

After returning home, Jenny specifically checked the recipes and found that pregnant women in Japan

and Hong Kong would eat bird's nest. It could not only make mothers strong, but also make children

stronger and healthier.

The bird's nest was nourishing. Jenny's eyes lit up and she decided to send bird's nest to Monica.

Jenny had eaten a lot of bird's nest for the past few years, so there were plenty of bird's nest in her

house. She asked Lassie to send it to Monica the Yale asked Lassie to keep an eye on Jenny. Lassie

naturally would not disobey her. She even carefully checked the gifts Jenny bought for Monica and

Coco. Yale praised her for being careful. Seeing that Jenny was going to send Monica bird's nest, she

immediately called Yale.

Yale came up with a plan. She said something to Lassie, who then nodded repeatedly.

At dinner in the evening, Lassie took the initiative to tell Jenny that she was best at making bird's nest.

She wanted to make bird's nest soup for Monica so that Monica might be moved.

Jenny felt that what she said made sense. She really wanted to show her sincerity to Monica. She

decided to make bird's nest soup herself.

Jenny had rarely cooked. Would Monica be moved by her sincerity? If she was moved and agreed to

marry Quarmy, it would be great.

After Jenny left, Monica had mixed feelings. Jenny bought so many gifts, which showed how sincere

she was. In addition, Monica was a little touched by Jenny's attitude towards Coco.

Xanjer also said that Jenny was totally different from before. When they were talking, Monica's phone

rang. It was from Madrigal. "Sister, how are you doing?"

Monica frowned. "What's the matter, Miss Jane?" "Did you receive gifts today?" Madrigal asked.

"How did you know?"

"Because I have also received it. I wonder if Aunt Sun treats us equally." Madrigal added, " Aunt Sun

bought me maternity stuff." Monica was stunned. Wasn't it the same as what she got? Madrigal was

very proud. "You have Coco so Aunt Sun bought more toys for you. She told me not to be jealous. How

can I be jealous? We are sisters."

"Shameless!" Monica was furious.

"Sister, why are you losing your temper?" Madrigal said with a smile, "Aunt Sun said that she would

send me bird's nest soup tomorrow. She wanted me to nourish myself and my babies. She said that

you would also have one. Why is she so kind to us? Does she want both of us to be her daughters-

inlaw?"

"Shut up!"

"Sister, don't be angry. Let me finish my words. We are sisters. Although you doesn't like me, I don't

have any prejudice against you. I'd better make it clear to you. Sister, stop dreaming about marrying

Quarmy. Aunt Sun has always liked me. She won't accept you. You'd better be mentally prepared and

don't be fascinated by the illusion, or you will regret it."

"You think too much, Miss Jane. But I have to remind you one thing. You know very well that how you

got pregnant. You did such a shameless thing, aren't you afraid that something would happen to you

babies?"

"Monica, I'm reminding you to be wary of Jenny. How can you curse my babies?" Madrigal's voice also

changed. "Monica, believe it or not, you shouldn't accept Jenny's bird's nest, or you will suffer!"

Madrigal hung up the phone. Although Monica was very clear about Madrigal's character, she was still

stimulated. Didn't Jenny say that she didn't like Madrigal? How did Madrigal know what Jenny bought

for her? Did Jenny really buy the same gifts for her and Madrigal?

This was really possible. Jenny did not know that Madrigal's babies were not Quarmy's. With her love

for children, it was very likely that she would buy gifts for her and Madrigal at the same time.

If this was the case, then her change could be explained. She might want to rob Coco and her unborn

child.

Although it was just a guess, Monica began to feel unhappy.

Early in the morning, Jenny began to make bird's nest soup for Monica. Lassie proposed to help her,

but was refused. This was a matter of sincerity. Jenny wanted Monica to know how sincere she was.

Actually, Jenny was good at cooking. Although she was born from a rich family, she was not one of

those incompetent ladies. When Quarmy's father was alive, she often made bird's nest soup for him.

She cleaned the bird's nest by herself and put it in the water. Then she cleaned the debris in the bird's

nest and put it in the water again. Later she put the bird's nest into a stew cup with sugar and water. In

the end, she put the stew cup into a steamed pot.

Jenny had been sitting by the side. Finally, the bird's nest soup was ready. Jenny packed it up and

prepared to send it to Monica. At this time, Eva suddenly came to the Huo family. Seeing Eva, Jenny

had to return to her house. Lassie reminded her that the soup would be less nutritious if it got cold.

Jenny looked at Eva and hesitated, because she couldn't leave Eva alone. Lassie volunteered to help

her send the bird's nest soup to Monica.

Jenny thought for a moment and agreed. Therefore, Lassie left with the soup.

Monica and Xanjer were playing with Coco in the living room. When the doorbell rang, Monica got up to

open the door. She saw Lassie standing at the door with a thermal lunchbox and looking at her with a

smile.

"What are you doing here?" Monica was on her guard. When she was Quarmy's wife, Lassie had

helped Jenny bully her many times, so she had never had a good impression of Lassie.

Lassie didn't seem to care about Monica's attitude at all. She put the lunchbox in front of Monica and

said with a smile, "Madam asked me to send you bird's nest soup."

"The bird's nest?" Monica stared at the lunchbox incredulously. Madrigal had just reminded her last

night that Jenny was going to send it to her. What did Jenny want to do?

Lassie nodded. "Yes, Madam said that it was hard for you, a pregnant woman, to take care of Coco.

The bird's nest soup is highly nutritious and most suitable for pregnant women. The most important

thing is that Madam made it herself. I haven't seen her cooking. She hurt her leg but she still did it for

you. It's really moving!"

Monica tried to make herself smile. "It's a big gift. I'm afraid I can't afford it."

"Well, don't say that. Coco and your unborn baby are her grandchildren. You're going to marry Mr. Huo,

so you and Madam are going to be family again." Lassie's eyes fell on the thermal lunchbox and she

said eagerly, "Try it!"

Monica thought of Madrigal's warning. "You shouldn't accept Jenny's bird's nest, or you will suffer!"

She smiled faintly. "I just ate something, and now I'm not hungry at all. I'll enjoy it later."

"If it gets cold, it won't taste good. You'd better enjoy it now. Madam has showed her sincerity, you have

to appreciate it." Lassie tried to persuade Monica.

"Fine. Go back and tell her that I've eaten it."

"Well..." Lassie frowned. "Miss Mo, you know Madam's temper. She hates lying people the most. If I lie

to her, she will definitely not let me go. You'd better eat it now, even if it's just a bite."

Lassie's words made Monica even more alert. Why did Lassie want her to eat it so badly? Was there

really something wrong with the bird's nest?
