The Queen's Back (Mona and Maxwell) novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89 

As Mona walked toward Maxwell, it seemed they had some kind of connection. He looked up, and their eyes met in the air, both of them smiling. 

After Mona and Edison sat down, Edison placed the contract and a pen in front of them. Maxwell looked at the share transfer contract and then at Mona 

Mona sensed Maxwell was a bit angry, so she took his hand and said, “Just like you said, you’ve entrusted your property to me, so of course, I’m transferring the shares to you. We agreed on this when we got engaged, and you can’t go back on it, or I 

won’t feel at ease.” 

Maxwell met Mona’s trusting gaze and replied frankly. “I didn’t marry you for your shares. I just simply like you.” 

“Okay, I understand, but I want to give them to you for safekeeping. After all, you’re my husband, Mona replied. 

After she said that last sentence, she noticed Maxwell’s eyes flicker, his eyes seemed to widen involuntarily, and he stared at her without blinking. 

After a long pause, Maxwell quietly asked, “What did you just call me?” 

Mona felt suddenly shy at his question. She had 

dit spontaneously, but now that Maxwell was asking so directly, she struggled to respond. “Didn’t you just hear? Stop asking and sign the contract. We can talk more at home.” 

Edison, sitting across from them, touched his nose, feeling as if he had been forced to watch to watch them flaunt their affection. 

Maxwell felt a surge of joy at that moment. It meant he hadn’t misheard. Mona had really called him ‘husband. 

When Mona handed him the pen to sign, he vaguely scribbled his name and then looked at her with a silly smile. 

After everything was settled and Edison left, Maxwell suddenly realized that he had just unwittingly accepted the shares 

from Mona. 

But seeing Mona’s happy expression made him feel like he had done a good deed. 

He thought, ‘Well, it’s fine. If the shares are in my hands, they’re still our joint property as a couple 

As the days passed, Mona felt that her relationship with Maxwell was getting better and better. She was enjoying her time in the Design Department, preparing her entry for the design competition, and recently, Barbara hadn’t been bothering her, which gave her a breather. 

A few days ago, she told Maxwell about her mother’s unexpected death and asked him to help investigate. The moment she brought it up, Maxwell understood her intentions and nodded. When she mentioned that Jeremy and Beatrice were highly suspicious, he asked Nigel to look into it discreetly. 

After Mona came back to life, she considered telling her grandparents that Jeremy and Beatrice had conspired to kill her mother, but after thinking it through, she abandoned the idea. Since they could commit such a cruel act, Mona feared they might retaliate if she revealed it, endangering her grandparents, 

But Maxwell was different. Jeremy and Beatrice would never suspect that he would send someone to investigate Emily’s death. After spending so many days with him, along with her experiences from her previous life, she knew Maxwell was not as simple as he appeared. She felt secure entrusting him with the investigation 

With Elara’s help, Mona had already sketched out her design and was ready to start production the following day.

Chapter 89 

That day, she got off work early and decided to visit the Carter Group to surprise Maxwell, so he wouldn’t have to come to the Clem Group to pick her up. 

After exiting the Clem Group, Mona hailed a cab to the Carter Group. 

Not long after Mona left, Barbara received a text from Gordon. I know you haven’t found a suitable model yet. Let me introduce 

you to someone–Lydia Reed. Consider it my sincere intention to collaborate with you.] 

The message included the meeting address. 

Barbara knew Lydia well. She was the heiress of the Reed family, who had become increasingly successful in business before moving away from Nathontown to Yosneosiland. Lydia had participated in numerous fashion shows and won many awards, and it was rumored that she studied abroad at the same school as Maxwell. 

Compared to Artemis, Lydia was even more impressive. 

If she were willing to wear Mona’s designs for the Nathontown Design Competition, it would significantly increase Barbara’s chances of winning. 

Honestly, Barbara had wanted to contact Lydia for a long time, but since Lydia lived abroad, she rarely participated in such events and didn’t even have her contact number. 

Now that the opportunity had arisen, Barbara drove to the designated place without a second thought.
