The Queen's Back (Mona and Maxwell) novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248 

Mona thought, ‘Richard was lying. It was obvious that he wanted to continue using Maxwell. 

As soon as she said this, Richard’s expression immediately changed. He treated Mona as his family member, but she did not even have the most basic respect for him. 

“Mona, what are you talking about? His surname is Carter, he’s the Carter family people!” Richard said. 

Mona said, “Yes, his surname is Carter, but it’s just a name. Since you decided to bring Maxwell back to the Carter family, you should treat him well and not leave him alone, making him feel lonely since he was young. 

“When there was no need, you sent him overseas. When there was a need, you brought him back to the Carter Group. Now that the Carter Group could develop steadily, you want to kick him away. 

“Maxwell is a human, flesh and blood, with feelings, not a robot. Since you’ve decided to hand the Carter Group over to Gordon, Maxwell has nothing to do with the Carter family anymore, stop talking about kinship! 

“Maxwell helped the Carter Group handle official business for such a long time for nothing. It could be considered as repaying your kindness in raising him. If there’s nothing else, please help yourself. I’m tired. I will go back to my room to 

rest.” 

After saying that, Mona stepped on the white carpet and returned to her room. 

If it was possible, she didn’t even want to see Richard. 

If other elders came to visit her, she could reject them using the excuse that she was pregnant and not feeling well, but not Richard. He was Maxwell’s grandfather. She couldn’t bear to see Maxwell suffer in his family and couldn’t help but say it. 

Richard looked at the coffee that was steaming. He felt embarrassed and left. 

He wanted Maxwell to return to the Carter family. On one hand, he did not want others to recognize the Carter family as a joke. He did not want the Carter family’s people to work outside. On the other hand, he was selfish. He was afraid that something would happen to the company in Gordon’s hands again. When the time came, he would still need Maxwell to deal with it. 

Now that his thoughts had been voiced out in person, Richard was too embarrassed to meet Mona again. 

Time passed day by day. By the time Mona was four months pregnant, her belly was gradually showing. Every night when she was about to fall asleep, she would hear Maxwell quietly muttering something to her belly. 

During this period, with the bad memory of the wooden board falling last time, she did not dare to go out. She was afraid that something would happen again and the baby would be hurt. She slept at home until she woke up naturally every day. Then, she would read the fashion magazine that Maxwell had gotten someone to send to create inspiration and start drawing designs. 

On Monday morning, Mona officially established their clothing store. They accepted Artemis’s suggestion and started a live broadcast online to promote the clothing store and make it famous. 

The brand Mona founded was called Star. 

Because of the endorsement of the superstar Artemis, it had just been established and had already attracted the attention of 

many netizens. 

As one of the founders, Mona had to attend the opening ceremony of Star. 

However, Mona was already four months pregnant. One could easily tell that she was pregnant when she wore a tight gown.

Early in the morning, Maxwell watched nervously as Mona changed her clothes and put on makeup. Even when she put down her lipstick and turned to look at him, Maxwell was still worried. 

“Do you have to go?” Maxwell asked, unwilling to give up. 

Usually, Maxwell would be at case if Mona drew designs and would not hurt herself. However, Star’s opening ceremony today was a live broadcast and they had invited so many people. Maxwell was really worried that something unexpected would happen. 

Mona nodded seriously and said, “Yes. Today is Star’s opening ceremony. As the founder, I definitely have to attend.”

Mona knew that Maxwell was worried about her body and that the baby may be in danger. However, this was a clothing store that she had opened. The clothes inside were all designed by her. She wanted to see Star’s opening with her own eyes. 

Moreover, with Maxwell by her side and the bodyguards, Mona believed that there would not be any accidents. 

Ever since the last accident, she had not gone out much. She spent all her time in the villa or going to the Clem family to accompany her grandparents. She wanted to go out too. 

Mona sat beside Maxwell and held his hand. “Don’t worry, I will protect myself and our baby. I’ll just show up and watch them. Ava will handle everything. Hubby, don’t worry. If I don’t go out, I’ll be bored to death. Don’t worry!” Mona said. 

Maxwell met Mona’s serious eyes and nodded. “Alright,” he said.
