The Queen's Back (Mona and Maxwell) novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141
Mona held Jane’s hand tightly and said, “Grandma, Grandpa is unconscious now. In the Clem Group, you have the biggest voice. Tomorrow afternoon, Jeremy will hold the shareholders’ meeting. If you can be present, we will definitely win.”
“Can… Can I?” Jane asked softly.
She had been protected by Bernard her whole life and rarely been to the company. Now that she was left alone and had to stand out, she could not help but ask herself, ‘Can I?’
“Grandma, you can do it. Everyone in the company knows who you are. You represent Grandpa, and your words carry as much as his do,” Mona encouraged.
“Well… alright. I’ll hand the company over to you first?” Jane asked. She was too old to manage the company while Albert was still so young and serving, also unable to do anything helpful.
“Grandma, leave it to Maxwell. He can manage it. I’m capable. After we got married, I gave my shares to him,” Mona said.
“Oh, I see. That’s true. You’re a couple now. So it makes no difference whether it’s you or Maxwell,” Jane muttered.
Just like that, the two of them settled on this matter and booked the flight back the next morning.
Now, Bernard’s situation had basically stabilized. Sometimes, Albert and Haley would come and stay to watch him. There were also caregivers, which made the two of them feel more at ease.
The next morning, when Albert and Haley found out that Mona and Jane were going back home, they expressed shock and asked for the reason.
Mona thought for a moment and told Albert about Jeremy’s plan. After all, Albert was not a kid anymore. He had his own judgment while Jeremy was still his father, so he had the right to know.
“Is that true? He’s too bold,” Albert said in disbelief.
In Albert’s heart, Jeremy was always a timid person. He did not even dare to decide on the company’s matters alone. Now, he actually dared to join forces with other directors to seize the company.
Then, he added, “Mona, you have to win. You can’t let him really snatch away Grandpa’s life’s work. By the way, I still have some shares. When the time comes, I’ll stand on your side.”
Although Jeremy was Albert’s biological father, it had always been Bernard who educated and raised him. So Albert had always felt that he was a part of the Clem family. And this was why he expressed his stance without hesitation.
“Alright, that’s my boy. Stay here and take good care of Grandpa Grandma and I will be back soon,” Mona said.
The plane left a white scar in the sky as it took off from Horieta to Nathontown. It landed at noon and Maxwell was already waiting at the airport.
Ever since he found out that Mona was coming back, he spent a sleepless night in excitement. There were still two hours before the plane landed at Nathontown, but he had already finished the company’s matters and was waiting at the airport.
Mona supported Jane as they got off the plane and saw the man standing in the crowd, who was wearing a silver suit and a black tie with a large bouquet of roses in his hand. He stood upright with a faint smile on his lips. The light shone on him, like a halo. Their gazes met, and their eyes were filled with longing for the past few days.
Mona ran into Maxwell’s arms and wrapped her arms around his waist. She leaned her head against his chest and listened to his racing heartbeat.
Meanwhile, Nigel, who was supporting Jane, immediately took her away wisely, leaving more space for this couple.

Chapter 141
“Maxwell, I miss you so much,” Mona said bluntly. It had been quite a few days since she last saw Maxwell. No words sufficed to describe how she missed him.
Maxwell held the flowers in one hand and stroked Mona’s hair with the other. His heart was blooming. “Mona, I miss you very much too.”
If not for Jeremy’s plan, Maxwell would have decided to fly straight to Horieta to see her. He just missed Mona too much. The kind of longing that went deep into his bones.
The two of them did not hug at the airport for long because they were interrupted by Nigel’s loud voice. “Mr. Carter, bad news. The shareholders’ meeting started in advance. It has already begun.”
Hearing this, Mona and Maxwell hurriedly let go of each other and quickly walked towards the car.
If they did not make it in time for Jeremy’s meeting, it would be difficult to take back the company once it really fell into Jeremy’s hands.
Nigel had just received the message at the last minute. Jeremy was definitely afraid of uncertainties that a long delay might cause trouble.
They skipped lunch and directly drove to the Clem Group. Along the way, they drove as fast as they could.
“Mona, calm down. Even if Jeremy swallows the Clem Group, I will make him spit it out,” Maxwell said confidently. He tolerated no one who dared to snatch something that belonged to Mona.
“Yes, but I still want to catch up,” Mona said bluntly.
Jane was anxious. After all, this was Bernard’s life’s work. She did not want it to be taken away by others, especially Jeremy, an ingrate.
Nigel sped up when they were talking. The car stopped safely at the entrance of the Clem Group soon.
Jane asked Mona and Maxwell to run in first, afraid that the meeting would end. Nigel supported her behind them and walked slowly.
Maxwell held Mona’s hand and walked towards the elevator. Unfortunately, when the two of them arrived, the elevator had just left. Mona stamped her feet in frustration. Maxwell had no way but to pull her into the CEO’s private elevator.
No matter how crowded the elevator was, the employees did not dare to take this one. The two of them smoothly and pressed the button for the highest floor.

into the elevator
When the employees saw that Mona was taking the private elevator, no one dared to say anything. They just remained silent with envy. After all, she was the granddaughter of this company’s president.
At times like this, waiting was usually very stressful. This was what Mona was feeling right now. Just a few seconds to a minute was so long like an eon.
Ding! The elevator stopped at the top floor. The door had just opened a crack when Mona couldn’t wait anymore and ran out directly. It was a race against time.
