Eva felt distressed after seeing Madrigal's injury. After all, she thought that Madrigal was her daughter. In fact, Yale had seen through her scheme and changed their children at that time. Eva did not know that Madrigal was not her daughter. Her real daughter was Mary, who was almost killed because of her.
Eva was a vicious woman. She could kill her sister Hannah for her own interests, not to mention Monica, who took the initiative to attack Madrigal. She went out of the hospital and gnashed her teeth with hatred. She was thinking how to deal with Monica.
After thinking for a long time, she decided to come to Jenny. Jenny had been looking forward to a grandson for a long time, and she didn't have a good impression of Monica. If she heard that Monica hurt Madrigal like this, she would certainly hate Monica more.
With Jenny around, Monica could never marry Quarmy.
Thinking of this, Eva came to Jenny. She first asked about Jenny's physical condition and then told her about Monica's fight with Madrigal. She exaggerated Madrigal's injury and described it in a horrifying way. "Monica is too vicious. Madrigal's face was beaten swollen. If the driver hadn't immediately sent her to the hospital, she would have miscarried!" Jenny was shocked. "Are my grandsons all right?"
"The doctor said that Madrigal should get more rest."
Hearing this, Jenny was very worried. Madrigal was pregnant with twins. If something happened to the twins, Jenny would be very distressed. Jenny shouted angrily, "How could Monica be so vicious? Madrigal is her sister. Why couldn't she let her sister go?"
"How will a vicious woman care about kinship?" Eva said with hatred. "If she was kind, she would at least sympathize with Madrigal. Madrigal is pregnant with two babies now. You know how difficult it is. She is both vicious and jealous. She is afraid that Madrigal's children will affect Coco's importance to Quarmy."
Jenny cursed angrily, "Monica is too cruel. No, I have to tell Quarmy about this."
Jenny immediately called Quarmy and told him how miserable Madrigal was. Quarmy sneered. "She's lucky that didn't lose her baby. Next time, if she provokes Moni again, I'll let her miscarry."
Jenny was so angry that she cursed her son for being cold-blooded and heartless. Quarmy ignored her and hung up the phone.
Usually, being pregnant with twins was a big deal. Eva thought that Quarmy's attitude toward Madrigal would change a little for the twins, but she was wrong.
Quarmy's ruthlessness disappointed Eva. It reminded her of Jim. She knew clearly Jim's attitude towards Gracie. She had expected that Jenny could force Quarmy to marry Madrigal. Seeing that Jenny was also unable to control Quarmy, Eva faintly realized that it was not a wise choice for Madrigal to be pregnant this time. Jenny was getting old, and Quarmy would be in charge of the Huo family. If Quarmy didn't like Madrigal, what should Madrigal do?
However, things had already become like this. Madrigal's babies must be kept, otherwise, she would be really miserable. Eva had to comfort herself. At least, Madrigal could get some money after giving birth to Quarmy's babies. Quarmy was so rich that he would definitely treat his babies well.
Eva didn't know that Quarmy had given all his property to Monica and her two children. Although Jenny knew it, she would certainly not tell Eva about this. After chatting with Jenny for a while, Eva left angrily.
Eva didn't feet better at all after talking with Jenny. On the contrary, she was even sadder. Things were not under her control now. She had to find a way to prevent Monica from living in Jiang City.
Of course, she had no way to control Monica. Fortunately, Xanjer was with Monica. Eva decided to go to Xanjer and threaten him again. She would let him persuade Monica to leave Jiang City.
After Eva left, Quarmy came back. His car and Eva's car passed each other. In the matter of Madrigal's pregnancy, Eva was a complete accomplice. When Quarmy saw Eva coming to his home again, he felt extremely disgusted.
Eva must have said something to Jenny. That was why Jenny knew about Madrigal's injury. Why was Eva trying so hard to help Madrigal?
Quarmy stopped the car and strode into the house. Jenny heard the sound of opening the door and turned back. "You are back?"
Quarmy walked over and asked bluntly, "What did Eva say to you?"
"She's worried about my health, so she came to visit me and chat with me..."
"She's worried about your health? Why is she so kind?" Quarmy sneered. "I think she has other purposes."
"She's my best friend, so it's normal for her to care about me."
"You don't need to lie. Eva should be the one who told you that Madrigal was beaten, right?" Quarmy sneered. "What bad ideas did she give you besides talking nonsense?"
"Nonsense? Wasn't she talking about the truth? Didn't Monica hit Madrigal?" Jenny was also angry.
"It's true that Madrigal was beaten, but it's her own fault!" Quarmy sneered. "She shamelessly set me up and went to provoke Moni. She deserves it!"
"Son, Madrigal is pregnant with twins. You should at least forgive her for children's sake. Fortunately, Madrigal was sent to the hospital in time, otherwise, my two grandsons..." Jenny dared not imagine.
"I hope her to miscarry. A vicious woman like her doesn't deserve to have a child." Quarmy rarely cursed others. It seemed that he hated Madrigal to the extreme.
"How can you be so ruthless?" Jenny was even angrier. "You like Monica, so you can't see her viciousness. She even hit her half- sister. How vicious she is! I can't let my grandson be with her, otherwise he will be affected."
"Monica is vicious? Mom, is Monica really that bad? If so, how would she tolerate you, a bad mother-in-law, to bully her? How would she be cleaned out of the house? How would she let a mistress and an illegitimate daughter live in her house? Mom, think about it yourself. The fact is right in front of you. Can't you tell good from evil?"
"How dare you say that?" Jenny was so angry that she grabbed the teacup in front of her and threw it on the ground.
Quarmy looked at her coldly. "I'm not scolding you. I just want you to see the truth clearly. You'd better calm down and think about it. Maybe you have been deceived."
"Don't I have eyes? There's no need for you to remind me!" Jenny shouted at her son.
"I hope so, but I have to remind you one more thing. Don't hold too much hope for Madrigal's babies. The greater the hope is, the greater the disappointment will be!" Quarmy reminded.
"What do you mean? Do you want to kill her babies?" Jenny straightened her neck and shouted, "You unfilial man, if you dare to do so, I won't forgive you!"
Quarmy frowned. "Mom, I won't do anything to her babies. But I'm afraid that she would regret having the babies."
Hearing that, Jenny was very happy. She forgave Quarmy for being impolite just now.
Although Monica said that she didn't need bodyguards, Summer and Roland were still worried about her safety. They really hated Madrigal, who was good at acting. Jenny was deceived by Madrigal so she had been on Madrigal's side Without Jenny's support, Madrigal would be helpless. Therefore, Roland came up with a plan.
It seemed that he had to let Jenny know what kind of person Madrigal was. As long as Jenny disliked Madrigal, Madrigal would have no backer.
Madrigal had been recovering in the hospital during this period of time. Roland had purposely bribed a nurse to deliberately anger Madrigal and make Madrigal lose her temper.
Madrigal was gentle, kind, and considerate in front of Jenny, but she wouldn't continue to act in front of outsiders. Besides, she was not in a good mood, so she would vent her anger as much as she could on the nurse.
Therefore, a video of Madrigal scolding the nurse with dirty language was sent to Jenny. Seeing that, Jenny had been stunned for a long time.
Was this woman Madrigal, who used to be gentle and well-behaved in front of her? Although Jenny herself often lost her temper, she rarely swore. However, Madrigal was completely different. Madrigal had learned a lot of dirty words in the Cat's Alley. Although Yale had sent Madrigal to learn ladylike manners, it couldn't change Madrigal's nature. In fact, Madrigal was still a rude girl with low self-esteem. Madrigal would only show her gentleness and kindness to those from upper class. As for those who were inferior to her, she naturally would not be polite.
For Madrigal, the nurse was nobody. How dared the nurse to provoke her? Madrigal was so angry that she completely showed her shrewish side. Madrigal's viciousness and rudeness really shocked Jenny.
Jenny was not a fool. She suddenly realized that Madrigal might be acting all the time. She was not a gentle and kind woman at all.
Realizing this, Jenny began to feel uncomfortable. However, Madrigal was pregnant with her grandsons. No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she had to endure it.
Eva made up her mind to come to Xanjer for Madrigal. Xanjer was now living in Roland's villa, and she did not have his phone number, so it was not easy for her to meet him. Eva had waited outside Roland's villa for several days, and finally met him when he came out for shopping. "Brother, I want to talk to you."
"Didn't I say that we were already strangers?" When Xanjer saw Eva, he knew what he had been worried about finally happened. Eva was not a trustworthy person at all.
"We are related by blood. Brother, how can we be strangers?" Eva said with a smile.
Xanjer looked at her disgustedly. "What's the matter?"
"Let's find a quiet place first." Eva pointed to the tea room next to her and said, "Let's talk there."
Xanjer knew that he couldn't get rid of Eva, so she went into the tea room without saying a word.
"Brother, what kind of tea do you want?"
Xanjer sneered. "Be direct. I'm busy."
Eva didn't care about his impatience. She ordered tea for Xanjer. "Brother, I came here for Monica. Can you take Monica away?"
"Did she offend you?"
"No, but I'm worried about her safety." Eva pretended to be kind. "You know Yale well. Now Monica is in the way of her daughter's happiness. I'm worried that she will do something to Monica."
"How can you be so kind?" Xanjer naturally knew that Eva must have her purposes.
"I'm telling the truth. Anyway, Moni is my niece. I can't bear to see her in danger. Brother, just take Moni and her child away."
"I'd love to, but I can't. I have planned to move abroad with Moni, but Jenny sued Moni for intentional injury. If it weren't for Jenny, Moni would not have been restricted to go out of the country now." Xanjer sighed. "Now we can only go out after a year."
Eva was surprised. If she had known that, she would have stopped Jenny from suing Monica. Now it was too late to regret it. She tried to think of another way. "Brother, have you ever thought of taking Moni to live in another city? I mean, she should avoid meeting Yale."
"Are you so vicious that you can't even wait for a year?" Xanjer stared at Eva. "I know what you mean. I think you're the one who wants to deal with Moni, right? If it weren't for you, how would Jenny have hated Moni so much? To tell you the truth, I want to take Moni away just because I don't want to see you again. Don't be insatiable, or I won't let you go!"
Xanjer had always been gentle and kind. He had never been so fierce. Eva was shocked and did not dare to force him again.
After talking with Xanjer, Eva went home. On the way back, she received a phone call from Yale. "Good news. Quarmy doesn't intend to get rid of Madrigal's babies."
"Really?" Although Eva was very happy to hear it, she still didn't believe it. "Are you sure?"
"Yes. Jenny called Madrigal and let her not worry about this." Yale couldn't hide her complacency. "Maybe Quarmy has changed his mind. After all, Madrigal is pregnant with twins. Twins are what many people dream of."
Eva couldn't figure out why Quarmy suddenly changed his mind. However, it was a good thing to her. Madrigal didn't have to be afraid anymore, but Monica was always a trouble.
Summer was not busy this day so she went home in advance. Not far from the villa, she suddenly saw Xanjer walking into a tea room with Eva. She was shocked. Why was Xanjer with Eva?
Summer was a straightforward person. When she returned home, she told Monica about this matter. Monica didn't believe it and said that she must be mistaken. Therefore, Summer she took Monica to the tea room. After a while, they saw Eva and Xanjer coming out.
Monica had to believe it now. What did Eva and Xanjer want to do?
Yale and didn't dare to offend Monica, but she didn't want to let Summer go. She had to avenge Madrigal.
Yale knew that if she took the initiative to beat Summer, she would cause unnecessary trouble, so she had to let things happen naturally.
Yale went to the beauty salon. When Vashon saw her, she immediately called Uriah. Uriah was also very excited when he saw Yale. He came up to hug and kiss her. "Why haven't you come to see me for such a long time? I miss you so much."
Yale pushed him away and said, "I have something important."
"What's the matter?" Uriah did not intend to let go of her.
"You d*mn fool, stop it." Yale was angry and pushed Uriah away. "Your daughter was bullied. Can't you be more serious?"
"Who bullied Madrigal?" Uriah looked angry, but he didn't take it seriously. He was clear that Madrigal was not his daughter. But since Yale wanted to act, he would act with her.
"Zoe's biological daughter, of course!" Yale was not in a good mood. She told Uriah what happened.
Uriah frowned and said, "This matter is quite tricky."
"What? You know so many people. Isn't it a piece of cake to deal with a woman?"
"Well, it's not the right time to do it. If others know our relationship, what should we do?" Uriah shook his head.
"I know what you are worried about." Yale stretched out her hand to poke Uriah's head. "Will I hurt you? Don't worry, I've thought of a way. You just need to do as I say."
"What do you mean?" Uriah said with a look of disbelief.
"I have heard that Summer was irritable but had a sense of justice. She likes to stand out when she encounters injustice. You let several people put on an act in front of her. I'm sure she won't stay out of it. We can take the opportunity to teach her a lesson. She slapped Madrigal on the face, so you can accidentally give her a minor disfigurement. At most, you will bear some civil liability." Yale told Uriah her plan.
Uriah nodded repeatedly. "That's great. I will do it right away."
After Yale left, Vashon came in. "Brother, what did she ask you to do?"
"They said that Yale was a mistress, while Madrigal was sinister and vicious. I suspect that someone deliberately spread such a rumor..."
"Even a fool would know that." Roland interrupted him.
"No, I haven't finished my words yet. I think it's Quarmy who did it."
"Really? Then there will be a good show soon." Roland laughed. "Since Quarmy decided to deal with Madrigal, I will help him. Hurry up and let Madam Li, who dislikes Yale, come to Jenny."
"I've already let someone do it. I believe that Madam Li will soon tell Jenny how disgusting Yale and Madrigal are."
"Good job. Doesn't Jenny like Madrigal? I'll let her feel disgusted!" Roland was so happy that he laughed.
Quarmy went to see Coco again. Coco's attitude towards him had not changed much, which made him really depressed. He went home dejectedly after visiting Coco.
He pushed open the door and saw that his mother was angrily sitting on the sofa. He ignored her and went straight upstairs. Jenny felt even more unhappier when she saw Quarmy's dejected look.
This day, Jenny's friend Madam Li came to see her. At first, Jenny was very happy. But when they talked about Yale and Madrigal, Jenny became unhappy.
Madam Li heard that Yale gave birth to Madrigal before she got married. "Didn't Quarmy break off the engagement with Madrigal? Is it because of this?"
Jenny had always thought that she was the only one who knew about Yale's scandal. Since Madam Li had known about it, many noble women in upper class would soon know about it, because Madam Li liked to gossip. Jenny felt unhappy but she still chose to defend Yale. She asked, "How do you know that?"
"Stop hiding. This matter has been spread."
"What? Who told you that?" Jenny was surprised. She was injured so she hadn't gone out recently. After hearing what Madam Li said, she felt anxious. Did everyone know about this matter?
"My daughter told me that." Madam Li replied, "All her friends know about it. Now Madrigal doesn't dare to go out because of this matter."
Jenny knew that Madrigal didn't go out because of pregnancy. However, who spread the news that Yale was a mistress? "Do you know who spread the news?"
"I don't know, but you must have known it earlier. We have such a good friendship, but you actually hid it from me." Madam Li didn't like Yale, so she gloated. "I have always disliked Yale. So what if she's the mayor's wife? Isn't she a mistress? Fortunately, Quarmy broke the engagement with her daughter. Otherwise, you will be in a bad mood if you have to face the daughter of a mistress everyday."
Jenny smiled bitterly. It was not because of Yale that Quarmy broke off his engagement with Madrigal. But since this matter had spread, it was not a wise thing to let Madrigal marry Quarmy. Jenny had a headache. She had already promised Eva. Could she break her promise?
Madam Li didn't know Jenny's worries, so she continued to tell Jenny what she heard. "By the way, do you know what Yale was before she married Mayor Jane?"
"I don't know."
"She used to live in the Cat's Alley, which is the dirtiest and poorest place in Jiang City." Madam Li said, "It is said that she was called Flower at that time. Doesn't it sound like a wh*re's name?" Madam Li thought it was funny.
Jenny, of course, had heard of the Cat's Alley. She had never dreamed that the mayor's wife, who looked noble and elegant, would come from that place. In addition, Yale had such an indecent title.
Although Yale's family background was not good, she was indeed capable, otherwise she wouldn't have become the mayor's. Of course, no matter what, she was still a mistress. Seeing Madam Li's gloating look, Jenny felt a little uncomfortable, so she said, "Yale is beautiful, no wonder she is called Flower."
However, Madam Li didn't think so. "So what if she is beautiful? There are many more beautiful women than her. If everyone becomes a mistress, the world will be in chaos."
"Maybe she had her own reasons to do so." It was the first time for Jenny to speak for a mistress, and her face was a little hot.
"Reasons? No matter what, she shouldn't have been a mistress. Jenny, why are you so strange today? Don't you hate mistresses the most? Why do you defend her?" Madam Li was very dissatisfied with Jenny's attitude.
"I didn't defend her. I just think that she may not be a bad person." Jenny clarified immediately.
"Let me tell you, this woman is not an ordinary mistress. She is much more disgusting than ordinary mistresses. I heard that she and Zoe's ex-wife were best friends. You can imagine how scheming she is. The most important thing is that she is never a clean woman. I heard that she had a relationship with many gangsters in the Cat's Alley. How dirty is she?"
"Are you serious?" Jenny's face suddenly changed. Her father also cheated on her mother with her mother's good friend, so she was very disgusted with mistresses. Although she hated Yale for being a mistress, she tried to put up with Yale because she wanted to deal with Monica. Now this matter was exposed by Madam Li, she couldn't pretend to be unaware of this.
"Of course. It's said that Mayor Jane's ex-wife was very kind to Yale. She even asked Mayor Jane to visit Yale when he was on a business trip. Unexpectedly, this shameless woman seduced her best friend's husband and gave birth to a daughter. This thing was unbearable to anyone. Mayor Jane's ex-wife had a car accident and left because of this. Yale and her daughter took the opportunity to move into the Jane family and forced Mayor Jane's another daughter to leave. Later on, the Jane family went to another city, so no one knew that Yale was actually a mistress."
Jenny felt really upset. Monica's experience was very similar to hers.
At that time, her father had an affair with a mistress and forced her to live alone. Fortunately, her husband loved her very much and her mother-in-law treated her well. She had a sweet life after marrying Quarmy's father. If her husband had not died of illness, her life would have been very happy. However, Monica was different. Jenny felt that Monica was really poor. Her mother- in- law separated her from her husband. The most important thing was that her mother- in- law was ready to let the woman she hated most marry her husband. No wonder Monica would hate her so much.
Jenny was not a wicked person, so she felt guilty when she thought of it.
Madam Li mentioned Madrigal again, "Yale's daughter is also disgusting. She is not as simple and kind as she looks. She is more vicious than her mother. Because of this, those young ladies all dislike her. She has to make friends with a poor woman named Nee. In fact, Nee is just her servant. By the way, do you remember that you and Quarmy were scolded last time?"
How could Jenny not remember? Wasn't this thing done by Monica? What did Madrigal have to do with it?
Madam Li continued, "Wasn't Quarmy with his ex-wife at that time? Madrigal felt angry, so she asked the paparazzi to follow them and deliberately smear them. She also let Nee hire people to make trouble in Quarmy's ex-wife's company and scolded his ex-wife as a mistress. Later, after the matter was found out, she asked Nee to take the blame for her."
"Really?" Jenny couldn't believe it at all.
"Yes. Let me tell you in detail. I heard that she was the one who exposed the past of Quarmy and his ex-wife. Her purpose was to make you hate Quarmy's ex-wife. In the end, it was Quarmy who made such an interview on TV that quieted the matter down..."
"Who on earth told you these things?" Jenny couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted her. "Nee! In order to please Madrigal, Nee had done a lot of things before. Guess what? Madrigal didn't show any mercy to her at all. She promised to give Nee some money and a good job, but she broke her promise. Nee was so angry that she told others the truth."
"I don't trust her. Maybe she just wants to revenge."
"Only those with weaknesses are susceptible to evil influences. If Madrigal is really innocent, others won't be able to smear her." Madam Li added, "Let me tell you, Madrigal is not as gentle as you think. She is simply a shrew. I saw her swearing a nurse in the hospital that day. Tsk, tsk..."
Jenny had also seen the video of Madrigal swearing a nurse. Her heart sank. She finally believed that Madrigal was not innocent.
Thinking that she used to treat Madrigal so well, Jenny felt uncomfortable.
Since Madam Li left, Jenny had been unhappy. Why was she so stubborn before? Thinking of what she had done to Monica, Jenny really felt that she had gone too far.
