The Queen's Back (Mona and Maxwell) novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286 

Mona looked up and met Albert’s aggrieved gaze. She wanted to agree with Maxwell but did not know what to say. 

At this moment, Albert complained, “Mona, can you and Maxwell really not take a few days off? One week is enough. Moreover, didn’t you agree previously? How can you go back on your word?” 

Mona had told him to forgive Barbara, but after Mona’s miscarriage, Maxwell was unwilling to let Barbara enter the ward to see Mona. Mona did not say a word for Barbara. He knew that Mona still had complaints about Barbara. 

This trip abroad was an opportunity for Mona and Barbara to reconcile. He did not want to miss it. 

When Mona heard Albert’s question, her thoughts subconsciously drifted to the moment he was born. Emily held her hand and placed Albert’s tender little hand in hers, saying to her lovingly, “Mona, this is your little brother. You are both my darlings.” 

When she thought about how Albert had died tragically in the rehabilitation center, Mona did not reject him in the end. “Isn’t it still early to Christmas? Let’s talk about it when the time comes. Maxwell and I will try our best to make time. Alright, it’s already so late. Go wash up and sleep. I’ll go home with you tomorrow.” 

Albert knew that Mona still had Barbara in her heart. However, there was “They will definitely reconcile on this trip to Welintern.‘ 

a 

thorn in her heart that she could not pull out. 

“Mona, I’ll remember. You’ve promised me by saying this. Oh my, I’m so tired that I can’t even open my eyes. I’m going back to my room to sleep,” Albert said as he sat up from the sofa. After saying that, he ran upstairs. 

Even if Mona refuted him, he would not be able to hear it. Anyway, in his heart, Mona had already promised him. No matter what, he would make Mona and Maxwell get on the plane to Welintern. 

After Albert left, Mona looked at Maxwell and sighed. “Maxwell, I should have been more ruthless just now. I can only go now.” 

Maxwell rubbed Mona’s head. “It’s fine. Let’s go. Anyway, the two of us have never been to Welintern. We can go on a vacation then. I heard that the snow mountains in Welintern are very beautiful. It will definitely look good when we take photos.” 

Maxwell would always support Mona’s decision unconditionally 

Mona nodded and finished the last two mouthfuls of decaf in the cup. Maxwell took it consciously. After washing it, he returned to his room to rest with Mona. 

Time passed slowly just like that. Mona and Maxwell no longer cared about the Carter family’s matters. 

A week later, they saw in the newspaper that Gordon and Molly had broken off their engagement. Molly was sent to Nathontown Psychiatric Hospital by the Carter family. A few days later, she was transferred to Yosneosiland’s Psychiatrie Hospital, 

When Mona found out, she was very calm. Molly had done something bad, so she had to be punished. Molly had reaped what she sowed. It was just that her poor Sweet Berry did not have the chance to see this world. ‘Sweet Berry, you must be happy in that world.‘ 

Before they went to Welintern, something big happened in Star Within a few days of the release of Star’s winter equipment, sales plummeted. This was very abnormal. 

After having breakfast with Maxwell at home, Mona asked Haley to accompany her to Star’s headquarters. 

When she arrived, Ava was already there. There were also a few employees beside her. After Mona entered, Ava invited her 

to sit down.

“Ava, have you investigated? Why did the sales of the winter equipment drop sharply? Could it be that our designs this time are not pleasing?” Mona asked. 

Ever since she received Ava’s call in the morning, Mona had been worried that her winter outfit design was not good enough and did not conform to the public’s aesthetic standards. That was why sales had been falling. 

After listening to Mona’s words, Elara immediately said, “How could that be? Mona, our winter outfit design this time is especially beautiful. I even bought a few pieces myself.” 

“Mona, Elara is right. Our new products were all finalized through fittings, choosing fabrics, and so on. Moreover, they were modified in the style of the autumn outfit. There’s no reason that most customers don’t like it. Don’t be anxious. Let’s hear what the investigation team has to say later,” Ava said. 

Just as Ava finished speaking, two people entered the conference room with freshly printed documents in their hands. “Ms. Swanson, Mona, we’ve investigated thoroughly. It’s not that there’s a problem with our designs at all, but that our designs have been pirated. There are many shops online that are the same as our winter clothes, and the price is at least twice as low as ours. In that case, customers will naturally buy them from other shops, and our sales will naturally decrease.” 

Mona took the information and opened it. The new winter clothes in the shop were all designed by her. They were exactly the same. Not to mention the style, even the color was the same. Moreover, there was more than one shop. They even displayed Star’s new products. 

After being accused of plagiarism by Molly, she was especially disgusted with plagiarism. It could be said that she had zero tolerance for it. 

These shops were using Star’s name to earn money. If customers bought them and wore them a few times and found that the quality was not up to standard, it would damage Star’s name, 

In the future, when Star was mentioned, everyone would subconsciously think that the quality was not good and they could not buy it.
