The Queen's Back (Mona and Maxwell) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 

At that moment. Jeremy’s face stiffened. He looked at Mona with hatred. He grew up in a welfare home. He studied hard and got into university. He got to know Emily and was attracted to her at first glance. However, he knew Emily didn’t like him and that he wasn’t worthy of her. Hence, Jeremy improved himself for Emily. 

After graduation, Jeremy entered Glem Group. By chance, Emily discovered he had a deep crush on her. At that time, Emily was heartbroken and pregnant. She urgently needed to find a father for her child. So, the two of them agreed to get married, and he became part of the Clem Family. 

At first, Jeremy thought living with Emily was a dream come true. However, Emily cried every day and was depressed for a long time. He patiently coaxed her until Mona was born. Only then did she feel better and start to focus her attention on Mona. However, her relationship with Jeremy remained distant, 

Jeremy couldn’t stand Emily’s constant cold treatment. He then got together with Beatrice and had Barbara, 

Times passed. With Mona’s company, Emily slowly walked out of her sadness. After many months of drinking her troubles away, she developed a deep connection with Mona, and their relationship gradually improved. 

One day, Emily bumped into Jeremy and Beatrice together by accident. Seeing he had found the love of his life, Emily proposed an agreement to end their marriage. However, Jeremy was reluctant. It wasn’t easy for him to rise from poverty. and he had been used to living the life of a rich person. He didn’t want to return to the slum. 

After discussing with Beatrice, Jeremy was determined he could not lose his identity as the Clem family’s son–in-law, 50, he went all out and sabotaged Emily’s car. 

Later on, Jeremy decided to lay low in front of his in–laws by treating them better. He always thought that by the end of his struggle, Bernard would hand him the Clem Group. 

But then, one night, he overheard Bernard and Jane’s conversation. Bernard wished to hand the company over to Maxwell. He also said that Jeremy’s ability to manage the company was lacking, Hearing this, Jeremy was frustrated. He had worked for the Clem Family for so long and couldn’t afford to leave empty–handed. 

Jeremy was unwilling to give up, so he drugged Bernard. His plan was about to succeed, but Mona exposed him. Everythire he did had gone down the drain because of her, and he couldn’t accept this defeat. The more he thought about it, the m he hated Mona. After all, Jeremy had raised her, but she decided to become an ingrate. 

Ultimately, Jeremy was sent to jail. He did not know if he would be given the death penalty or life imprisonment. He had been respected for most of his life, and to have it all taken from him was humiliating. Before he died, he wanted to drag Mona with him. Moreover, this was also Barbara’s wish. So long as Mona was out of the picture, his life wouldn’t be so bad. 

Mona was shocked by Jeremy’s murderous gaze. When Jeremy saw that Mona had woken up, he said, “You were the person your mother liked the most when she was alive. Do you think she will forgive me for what I did if I bring you to her right 

now 

“Jeremy, you must be dreaming. My mother will only hate you more and will never forgive your Mona said while enduring her exhaustion. 

“I don’t care if you hate me. I’m only afraid that Emily will ignore and continue to bare me. At least she won’t forget me. 1 haven’t told you that I was the one who compromised her brakes, right? I didn’t want to, but she wanted to divorce me. You have no idea how much I love her. Not even death can do us part!” Jeremy said crazily. 

Jeremy pressed his knife against Mona’s neck, and Mona could feel his knife embedded in her neck. The surrounding onlookers were mortified. As it turned out, the car accident was planned, and the person responsible for it was the knife- wielding person before them 

Maxwell was helped out of the car by his bodyguards. When he looked up, he saw Jeremy had placed a knife on Mona’s neck. His gaze was locked on Jeremy, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Ignoring the wound on his forehead, Maxwell ran to Jeremy and shouted, “Let go of her, or I’ll make you wish you were dead!”

Chapter 174 

“My life is already a fare worse than death. I’m ready to die when planned to do this!” 

Jeremy glanced at Maxwell who launched toward him. He was on the verge of death, yet still thinking about Mona. It was like his love for Emily, but the difference was that Mona had eyes for Maxwell, while Emily had nothing on him. Besides, if Emily had any feelings for him, she would have been furious when she discovered Jeremy was having an affair. However, her emotions were always calm, and she proposed for a divorce without a second thought. 

Maxwell had met a person as desperate as Jeremy before. That person had lost all hope and wanted to drag the person he hated most with him. He would not give up no matter how hard Maxwell tried to convince him. 

At that moment, the police and ambulance arrived at the same time. The police immediately pointed their guns at Jeremy and said. “If you let the hostage go, we can lighten your sentence. Otherwise, we’ll shoot.” 

Jeremy laughed loudly, ‘Go ahead, go ahead! A second before the bullet passes through my body, my knife will go through her neck, and the two of us will finally meet Emily” 

Mona felt blood oozing out of her neck. She could also see Maxwell’s worried gaze. She knew she had to think of a way to save herself. 

Mona realized that Emily played an important part in Jeremy’s life. So, she endured the pain in her neck while saying, “Before I die. I have something to tell you,” 

Mona didn’t want to die yet. She had not fully avenged her mother and fulfilled her design dream. Most importantly, Maxwell. If she died, she didn’t know what would happen to Maxwell and her grandparents.
