The Queen's Back

the same time, Mona felt deeply touched. It showed how much Maxwell cared for her when he paid attention to all her. feelings. Maxwell pulled Mona closer into his embrace, his deep voice rumbling, "If I had known, I wouldn't have held back last night."NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Feeling the changes in Maxwell's body, Mona shivered and placed her hand against his chest, saying, "No, it's early in the morning. I need to go to work. Let's take it slow.

Seeing the look on Maxwell's face, Mona felt that he was ready to make a move, and she felt a surge of panic. She quickly freed herself from his embrace and rushed to the bathroom to freshen up and change. Watching Mona dart into the bathroom, Maxwell couldn't help but chuckle. He thought, 'It seems that she's willing to accept me now. All I need is the right moment'

both got ready, they had breakfast as usual. While sitting at the table, Mona recalled Gordon saying that Lydia was Maxwell's ex-girlfriend. witnessing Maxwell's refusal to even touch Lydia last night, she felt there was no need to ask about it anymore. Mona was certain that Maxwell only had eyes for her, so she wouldn't care about Cordon's words. As the morning light filtered in, Lydia began to wake up, embraced by strong arms, and her lips involuntarily curled into a smile.

As she thought about the wild

Her plan with Stephanie had

Lydia thought, 'Once they divorced, I'll be be Mrs. Carter

With that thought,

struck her. The person she had been intimate with last night wasn't Maxwell but Gordon. How could this happen? Where did it go wrong?' Lydia thought.

She had entered Maxwell's room, slept in his bed, and even seen him in her hazy memories. How has he suddenly turned into Gordon?' Lydia thought. Lydia couldn't

n't believe it. She slapped Gordon across the face, waking him from his sleep.

Their eyes met in-surprise, Gordon's lascivious gaze roamed over Lydia's chest, and she quickly grabbed the blanket to wrap herself up, angrily demanding, "Why are you here? Where's Maxwell?" Gordon, unfazed by the slap, smirked slightly and began to gather his clothes off the floor. "Don't guess. The person you slept with last night was me. Maxwell was taken away by Mona long ago."

He chuckled and added, "Even if Mona hadn't taken him, Maxwell wouldn't have touched you. He locked himself in the bathroom last night. If Mona hadn't come, he would have probably stayed in there all night. You wouldn't have gotten what you wanted anyway." Lydia glared at Gordon, fuming, "Who asked you to come? I'll sue you for this and put you behind bars!"

Lydia's voice echoed loudly, but thankfully most of the family was out. Those who worked had gone to their jobs, and those who shopped were out and about, so no one noticed their commotion

Gordon was not afraid at all. He casually replied, "Suit yourself. I'm not scared. After everyone left last night, I kindly came in to check on you, and you were the one who embraced me and tugged at my clothes. If anyone's going to jail, it'll be you. not me

"Don't talk nonsense! I would never hug you or tug at your clothes!" Lydia snapped back

Lydia thought that it was ridiculous that she would initiate anything with him. He had slept with too many women, and Lydia found him disgusting.

Men like him were the last people she wanted to be around.

While they spoke, Gordon had finished dressing and looked at Lydia on the bed, his gaze lingering on her. With a suggestive smile, he said, "Lydia, I have a good habit of documenting life's moments, like last night."

He glanced at the phone on the table and smiled at

This guy was clueless and had no real authority. All he ever did was pursue women. Relying on him for help could result in all sorts of trouble.

"Sure, I'll help you. As long as you can take down the Carter Group, Maxwell will no longer be the president Will Mona still want to be with him then? At that point, when you offer him comfort, his heart will still belong to you. You can then take him abroad to settle down. Wouldn't that be a win-win for both of us?" Gordon said. Lydia pondered Gordon's words

Alright, I'll collaborate with you, but you have to delete the photos out its wont ne said. If she put Maxwell in a tight spot and then offered a helping hand, he would definitely be grateful and in the end, his heart would still belong to her.

As long as those photos were in Gordon's hands, she would be at his mercy, and he could use them to make her do things she didn't want to do once she was with Maxwell.

She couldn't leave any threats behind.

Gordon smiled. "It's a deal." Once he acquired the Carter Group, he wouldn't have to worry about not getting Mona.

No woman he set his sights on ever escaped him, just like Lydia. She had already fallen into his bed.
