The Queen's Back (Mona and Maxwell) novel Chapter 183

Upon hearing Maxwell's words, Mona looked up at Maxwell's face. She noticed his smiling lips and sparkly eyes.

Mona saw his handsome face almost every day. But she felt he had become increasingly handsome every time she looked at it. She couldn't get tired of it. Maxwell's face appeared as if carved by Greek Gods.

"I've seen your face many times and have memorized it," Mona said with a smile.

As they chatted, the elevator arrived at the ground floor. Maxwell had never let go of Mona's hand. When they arrived at the state's prison, Mona asked, "Maxwell, do you want to go in with me or wait here?"

"I'll go in with you," Maxwell said as he unbuckled his seatbelt and reached out to help Mona unbuckle. He walked into the police station with Mona leaning on his shoulder.

After greeting the police, they went to the reception room to wait. Mona and Maxwell talked about the fun things she had encountered in the company that day while waiting.

Strangely, Barbara didn't come to the company. But Mona guessed it had something to do with Beatrice's recent arrest. Having not seen Barbara, the dynamics in Mona's workplace become stress-free. When Mona spoke, even Maxwell could hear the change in her tone. He could not help but ask, "Why are you in such a good mood today?"

Mona nodded. "Of course. I haven't seen Barbara for the entire day. I don't have to maintain that fake sisterhood with her. My day has been stress-free."

Recently, Bernard was filled with gratitude and indebtedness to Barbara. She had been a good granddaughter and played to stay on his good side by being obedient. However, Mona planned to reveal her true colors.

"You've been hustling a lot. What if I transfer you to a branch company as their new design director? You match the qualifications and will have fewer chances to see her. How about that?" Maxwell looked at Mona's fair face and reached out to touch it.

"I'd be pleased, but wouldn't that be an abuse of power? Also, what if Barbara disagrees?" Mona asked. If possible, she would love to stop seeing Barbara every day. She was tired of faking her attitude before her.

"Like I said, you match the qualifications. Besides, it's a promotion for you. As long as Grandpa agrees and feels it's good, Barbara's opinion doesn't matter," Maxwell explained.

Mona nodded and soon saw the police walking over with Jeremy. Seeing Mona, Jeremy sat down impatiently and picked up the phone beside her, wanting to know the words in Emily's memo.

Jeremy kept his promise, and so was Mona. Mona didn't expect that along with Beatrice's arrest, Jeremy submitted a CCTV recording of them compromising Emily's brakes. The evidence was conclusive, and the police sentenced Beatrice to 30 years in prison.

For Beatrice, thirty years was not a short time. But for Mona, it was a deserving punishment. At least she could avenge Emily and let her soul rest.

Mona kept her promise and took out Emily's phone. She opened the memo. Jeremy's eyes were fixed on it for a long time. He recognized the phone to be Emily's.
