The Queen's Back (Mona and Maxwell) novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127. 

“You used the wrong method. No girl would fall for someone who bullied her every day.” Mona looked into the distance and said. 

If Maxwell had used another method to attract her attention in ligh school, she didn’t know if she would have fallen for him. 

At that time, everyone around was talking about Teddy, who was handsome and from a rich family. He was the school hunk. 

Unknowingly, Mona seemed to have been affected. Perhaps all along, her feelings for Teddy were not love. She was just following suit to be attracted to Teddy. 

After Mona’s mother passed away, Teddy became her support. That was why she had been trying to please Teddy. 

At night, the Carter Group was attending a ball for the rich people of Horieta. Maxwell happened to be there, so he brought Mona to have fun. 

The sky gradually darkened as the black Lamborghini slowly stopped in front of a private villa. 

Maxwell opened the door and helped Mona out of the car. As soon as the two of them arrived at the entrance of the villa and handed the invitation letter to the guard at the door, they were welcomed in. 

Even though Mona thought that her family was rich, she was still shocked by how luxurious it was. 

The chandelier illuminated the place as if it was daytime. The floor beneath her feet was not the floor, but diamonds. At a casual glance, there were all kinds of antique paintings. 

No wonder so many people were guarding the door. If anyone wanted to steal one, it would be priceless. 

After the two of them walked inside, someone came over and chatted with Maxwell. Every time they talked about Mona, they could hear Maxwell say happily, “My wife, Mona Clem.” 

Mona was not interested in such a conversation. She only maintained a smile on her lips. 

Suddenly, her eyes swept across a man on the sofa in the distance. His legs were casually crossed, forming a beautiful arc. He

Looking up, it was his handsome face with thin lips and thick eyebrows. His looks were comparable to Maxwell’s. 

However, the two of them had different auras. That person looked aloof. No, he was cold. He was so cold that no one was around him. However, Maxwell was different. His aura was cold, but not unapproachable. 

Perhaps it was because Mona was looking at him too passionately, and she was simply sizing him up, that person looked toward Mona. 

He raised his glass to Mona from several feet away, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. 

Mona did not want to cause unnecessary trouble, so she pretended not to see it. She quickly retracted her gaze and casually took a sip of the “juice” in her hand. 

A moment later, the people who were talking to Maxwell left one after another. A guard said to Maxwell, “Sir, this is from the gentleman on the sofa beside you.” 

Maxwell took the business card from that person. On it was written Brendan Conrad, a member of the Conrad family. Maxwell thought to himself, ‘Is it the Conrad family in Noretin?” 

Since the person had handed over his business card first, Maxwell decided to go over. When Maxwell wanted to ask Mona to

with him, he saw Mona–sitting on the sofa, cating and drinking ‘drinks. It was very satisfying. So, he thought he should go by himself. 

Maxwell walked to Brendan and sat down casually. He placed the business card on the table beside him. 

Brendan placed the wine he had just prepared in front of Maxwell. “Mr. Carter, do me a favor and give it a try, okay?” 

“Thank you.” Maxwell picked up the wine glass and took a sip casually. “Mr. Conrad, good wine. This wine is quite vintage.” 

“Yes, it’s been a few years. It’s rare to see you bring a date to the Ball, Mr. Carter. I wonder if I’ll have the honor of getting to know her,” Brendan said as he casually looked at Mona, who was eating. No one knew what he was thinking. 

“Of course, my wife, Mona Clem. I’ll introduce you to her later.” Maxwell also looked at Mona with burning love in his eyes. 

Maxwell didn’t like Brendan’s way of getting to know him, especially since Brendan also wanted to get to know Mona. He didn’t know what Brendan was thinking. 

“Mona Clem? Your wife’s surname is Clem?” Brendan asked, his tone containing some emotions rarely. 

“Yeah, my wife’s surname is Clem. Is there a problem?” Maxwell asked, thinking Brendan seemed too concerned about 

Mona’s surname.

Brendan raised his neck and took a sip of wine. “There’s nothing wrong. I’m just a little curious and wondered if it’s the Clem family from Nathontown.” 

“Mr Conrad, are you curious about the Clem family from Nathontown?” Maxwell asked. His eyes swept across Brendan’s face, wanting to see some expressions on his face.
