The Queen's Back

At the police station, faced with the

again. Please spare me this time."

interrogation, Molly kept crying. "Officer, I confess my mistake. I won't do it

Molly knew she had failed this time. She didn't dare to bite back at Mona because she was afraid the police would find out about her scheme. By then, it wouldn't be a simple sex deal.

She just wanted to get the hell out of there. The police station was the place that would give her nightmares.

"Officer, when can I leave? I want to go home." Molly was crying her eyes out. Her entire face was covered in tears. What a heartbreaking scene.

Maybe people were born with sympathy for crying creatures, but when the police officer saw Molly's expression, he even handed her a tissue.

Molly wiped her tears and added, "I want to go home."

Next door, Gordon and his friend sat on the chairs with dumbfounded expressions. They were speechless and couldn't believe they had been caught by the police.

If they didn't admit the sex deal, they would be accused of rape. Facing the police's questioning, they could only confess helplessly.

The scandal of Molly and Gordon had affected the stock price of Carter Group. In an instant, the Carter family people knew. Richard was so angry that he threw the walking stick to the ground. His body was trembling as he cursed! Richard thought furiously, 'This rascal has barely kept himself in line. I've just been relieved for days before this scandal blew me away!'

Gordon was his grandson and the CEO of Carter Group. Richard would not ignore him and let him go to prison. Richard immediately asked his men to find out who had called the police.

After over five hours of flight, Maxwell finally landed in Nathontown.

As soon as he landed, Maxwell was eager to give Mona a surprise. He instructed Nigel to drive to the villa.

Maxwell did not tell Mona that he was coming back tonight because he wanted to surprise her.

After getting into the car, he turned on his phone, which had been off for more than five hours. As soon as he turned it on, Donald called.

Maxwell subconsciously frowned, and the surrounding aura turned colder. The phone rang in his ear. Maxwell picked it up impatiently.

As soon as the call went through, Donald's question came from the other end.

Donald snapped, "Maxwell, tell me, why are you so vicious and petty? If I had known you would be like this, I would have killed you when you came to the Carter family. Tell me, did you want to kill Gordon and ruin the Carter family? Huh? Say something!" It was not the first time Maxwell had heard such harsh words. He had even heard worse than that.

However, this time, Maxwell was confused. He had been thinking about expanding Clem Group's business recently and had no time to deal with Gordon, let alone target Carter Group.

Maxwell raised his hand and frowned, then said, "Are you done cursing? If you're done, I'll hang up."

"Hold on, you little bastard. I know the person who reported Gordon for the sex deal is your wife's best friend. Don't tell me you don't know it. Bastard, you're unpresentable..." Before Donald could finish speaking, Maxwell did not want to hear his insults anymore.

Donald kept calling him a bastard. Donald probably forgot Maxwell had half of his blood on him. What a terrible father! Maxwell could only say that he had gotten used to it over the years. When Maxwell first returned to the Carter family, it wasn't that he didn't long for fatherly love or treat Donald well. However, all Maxwell got in return was endless beating and scolding. After hanging up the phone, Maxwell thought of what Donald had said about Gordon having a sex deal and Mona's best friend calling. He then searched for the news online.

As expected, rumors about Gordon and Molly were everywhere. It seemed it had affected Carter Group's cooperation. No wonder Donald was so furious.

Maxwell's well-defined hands intertwined, and he felt a little frustrated. Mona did not tell him about this immediately.

The conversation between Maxwell and Mona was still at the lunch they shared at noon. After that, there was nothing else. The fact that public opinion could go viral like this on the Internet meant it had been a long time since the scandal happened, but Mona still did not tell him anything.

Maxwell immediately wanted to call Mona to clarify, but he thought Mona should be waiting for him at home at this time, so he put down his phone and closed his eyes to rest.

The Bentley drove quickly on the smooth road. The sound of leaves rustling could be heard. The moon hung high in the sky, making it look a little lonely.

When Maxwell arrived home, Mona was not home yet. The servants at home had returned to their rooms to rest.

The huge villa seemed a little bleak at that moment. Maxwell changed into a pair of slippers and did not turn on the lights. He sat on the sofa in the living room and waited for Mona to return.

It was already past 11 pm. Maxwell just sat there. It was not until almost midnight that Maxwell heard someone walking in. The first thing Mona did when she walked into the house was to turn on the lights and change her shoes.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Maxwell sitting on the sofa. His brows were tightly furrowed and his face was filled with fatigue.

In an instant, there was another person in the house. Mona was shocked. Then, she realized it was Maxwell.

She smiled in surprise and ran over to sit beside Maxwell. She wrapped her arms around his neck and said coquettishly, "Honey, didn't you say you would be back tomorrow? I was going to pick you up!"

Maxwell had something on his mind, but after being hugged by Mona, most of the anger in his heart had dissipated. His hand pinched Mona's smooth face hard. "I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't seem to surprise you. Instead, I scared you." Mona's cheek was pinched by Maxwell. It hurt a bit. She turned her head and still had a smile on her lips. "No, I'm surprised." She was not used to it when Maxwell wasn't by her side.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Is that so? Then tell me why you're home so late today," Maxwell asked as he let go of Mona's face.

Her originally pretty and smooth face was dyed with a faint pink color, making her look lovable.

Mona had yet to figure out how to tell Maxwell what she had done. That was not something Mona would be proud of. Her mouth moved unconsciously, but she didn't know where to start

"What is it, Mrs. Carter? Are you hiding something from me?" When Maxwell saw Mona's expression, he knew she had done something "good."

Mona nodded. She knew the prerequisite for two people in love was honesty. Before she did this, she wanted to tell Maxwell, but she was afraid Maxwell would not agree. But she did want to fight back and avenge her child. That was why she thought of telling Maxwell after she carried out her plan successfully.
