The Queen's Back

Barbara thought, 'Instead of crying in front of Teddy and making him hate me, it's better to take what he has given me and walk away. We can talk about the future later. Anyway, we've been together for so long. It's hard to separate neatly! After thinking it through, Barbara reluctantly looked at Teddy, opened the door, and walked out. However, Teddy did not notice that glance from Barbara. His mind was filled with Mona. He couldn't get Mona out of his mind, no matter what.

After Barbara left, Teddy looked at the distant night sky. After thinking for a moment, he sent a message to Mona with his spare phone. [Mona, I seriously broke up with Barbara. I want to woo you again. This time, I mean it.] On the other side, after Barbara exited the car, she felt she was in a predicament. Everything was not going her way. She thought the only person she could use was Gordon, who looked sloppy but was quite ambitious. Barbara was afraid that she would fall into his trap. When she wanted to contact Gordon, she received a message on WhatsApp. It was from Gordon. Barbara immediately turned on her phone to read it. Gordon: [1 bribe bribed that jud you.]

but it's too late to say it now because he's useless. Now you know that I do want to work with

It was like this. A few days before the Nathontown modeling competition began, Gordon wanted Barbara to win the first prize and bribed a judge. However, he still failed. When he saw the result, he was also angry.

Barbara looked at the moon in the sky and replied to Gordon. [Got it. I've believed you since I agreed to work with you. But since we're working together, you should discuss it with me before you do anything.] Barbara didn't like her partner doing things indiscriminately.

Gordon elegantly took a sip of wine and replied: [Okay.]

Mona read the unfamiliar message. It was obvious that it was from Teddy. At that moment, Maxwell was sitting beside her. He could read the content at a glance. Nigel was driving in front. "Mona, blacklist it!" Maxwell said in anger. Even if the message sender had no name, Maxwell knew who it was and thought, 'This Teddy is a real pain in the ass. It has been so long since he and Mona were over, but he still has the cheek to send Mona such a message. Does he think I, Mona's husband, am just for show? 'It seems the suppression of Powers Group is too light to teach Teddy a lesson. He still has the time and guts to disturb

Mona'

"Yes, sure, I'll block it. Even if you don't say it, I'll block it." Mona had already taken action as she spoke and blocked the number.

Maxwell was still worried. Teddy had sent this message to aim at Mona. Maxwell reminded Mona, "From now on, block all the messages he sends you. Don't ever believe what he says. He's lying to you."

Mona seemed to know Maxwell was feeling uncomfortable. She nodded in agreement and said immediately, "I know. I know. My heart is all about Maxwell now. What the hell is Teddy? Everything he says is a lie."

Upon hearing that, Maxwell hugged Mona in his arms with satisfaction. He held Mona's hand with his. "It's not easy for Mona to be with me. I won't let her go. Maxwell thought.

When Nigel h

I heard their conversation in the front, he complained in his heart, not expecting Maxwell to speak like a jealous man, and quickly drove the car to the gathering place. The gathering was for Mona's design of work to have won first place in Nathontown's design competition. Mona could participate in the contest between cities next year. With that thought in mind, Nigel stepped hard on the accelerator and soon arrived at the bar.

Maxwell

Maxv I opened the door for Mona like a gentleman and held her hand to let her out of the car. Nigel watched from the side, thinking they must have fallen in love through their arranged marriage. "Nigel, how about joining us?" Maxwell led Mona to take two steps forward. Only then did Mona realize that Nigel was still stunned in the distance. "Mona said it. Let's go together," Maxwell said calmly.

Nigel nodded and followed the two of them. 'I'm just an assistant. Usually, I will sit in the car and wait for Mr. Carter to finish his dinner or other gatherings. I've never been invited to join them before.' Nigel thought and looked at Mona gratefully.

Fortunately, Maxwell did not like gatherings. During gatherings, he would always ask Nigel to go home first. So, Nigel had rarely waited outside.

The

three of them walked to the top floor. Mona found the private room number given by Artemis and knocked twice.

The person who opened the door was Elara. When she saw Mona, she was so excited that she almost pounced on Mona. However, when she saw two people behind Mona, especially Maxwell, who was a little terrifying, Elara retracted her outstretched arm and muttered, "Mona, come on in."

Elara was extremely excited that Mona's design had won first place.

"Okay." After Mona entered, she realized everyone was already in the private room. when When she

saw

Ava blocking Bud in the corner with a glass of wine and looking like she wanted to drink with him, Mona felt sorry for Bud.

When Mona sat beside Ava, Ava finally noticed her. Ava placed her wine glass in Bud's hand and threw herself into Mona's arms. "Mona, you're finally here. You're amazing. You won first place. You are indeed my best friend." As Ava spoke, Bud looked at Maxwell with a pleading gaze. It seemed to be saying, "Help me, help me. I don't want to sit here anymore."

Maxwell ignored Bud's gaze and sat beside Mona. He looked at Ava in Mona's arms and frowned slightly.

"Of course. I'm Ava's best friend. I can't embarrass her." Mona patted Ava's back gently.

Seeing everyone was there, Artemis raised her wine glass and said, "Alright, since everyone is here, we can party and celebrate our success. Cheers!" Everyone joined in. "Cheers, cheers..."Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Ava finally got up from Mona's arms. Maxwell's furrowed brows finally relaxed, and he pulled Mona to his side. Noticing Maxwell's actions, Mona could not help but find it funny. She thought, 'Maxwell is so easy to get jealous!' The party was about singing and drinking. Since Mona was the key to winning the design competition, everyone unanimously invited her to sing first. Mona had no choice but to stand in the front and say honestly, "Guys, seriously, I'm a terrible singer. Are you sure you want me to sing?"
