The Queen's Back

"I'm sorry, I don't think the two of us are familiar with each other. We don't have anything to talk about," Mona rejected. She had nothing to say to the girl in front of her.

When Mona wanted to leave, Elene grabbed her arm and begged, "Mrs. Carter, please."

It was as if as long as Mona refused, she would immediately kneel.

Mona met her large eyes and hesitated for a moment. She looked at the people around her and nodded.

Mona thought that the girl came to her to know about her relationship with Teddy or to warn her to stay away from Teddy.

However, Mona no longer cared about Teddy. Naturally, she could tell the girl what she had on her mind.

Just like that, Mona briefly told Ava and Haley about it before going to the cafe next door with Elene.

When Mona arrived, Elene, Teddy's girlfriend, was already there. She kindly invited Mona to take a seat. The two of them looked very similar and were very beautiful, especially their eyes, which were bright and clear.

Even the waiter who served the coffee could not help but say, "You two sisters look so alike, and you're both very beautiful." Mona felt that it was not important to be misunderstood by irrelevant people. She only nodded indifferently at the waiter. After the waiter left, Mona looked at the girl in front of him who looked 70% like her and said gloomily, "What do you want to say? Speak!"

Elene said, "I... I know I'm your substitute, but you're already married. Can you stop contacting Teddy in the future? I'm begging you. Please."

Mona looked at Elene with tears in her eyes. She did not know how Teddy got his girlfriend. Mona felt that not only did the girl look like her, but their voices were also alike. Especially when Elene mentioned Teddy, Mona felt that Elene's voice was extremely similar to hers previously.

However, Mona did not know that Elene had practiced how to sound like Mona for a long time.

Mona said, "I've never wanted anything to do with Teddy. His business has nothing to do with me.""

Mona thought that she had already made things clear to Elene. She picked up her bag and wanted to walk out.

Before she could take two steps, her arm was grabbed by Elene, who looked like her. She said in an aggrieved manner, "Mrs. Carter, even if you give me money, I won't leave Teddy."

After saying that, she fell backward and happened to fall on the table. The coffee fell on her wrist and she looked a little disheveled.

For a moment, Mona did not know what kind of show she was putting on and wondered if it was a scam. It was only when she turned around and saw Teddy rushing over that she understood that Elene was putting on a show to display her affection toward Teddy. After Teddy came over, he looked at Mona lovingly before helping Elene up. "Elene, what happened?"

When Teddy finally arrived, Elene looked at him with aggrieved eyes and said, "It's all my fault. I made Mrs. Carter sad."

Mona did not want to put on a boring show with these two people. She did not even say anything and walked toward the

door.

When Teddy saw that Mona was leaving, he ignored Elene and chased Mona to the outside of the cafe. "Mona, it was Elene's

fault just now. I apologize to you on her behalf."

"Alright." After Mona finished speaking, she walked toward Ava and Haley. She did not take this matter to heart at all because she did not care. However, Teddy's reaction broke Elene's heart.

At night, Mona sat on the sofa and watched television. Maxwell placed Mona's legs on his lap and began to massage them.

Mona's legs were slender. The skin on her legs looked tender under the light.

Maxwell massaged them skillfully. Every movement was neither heavy nor light. He did it just right that it relieved Mona's fatigue and made her feel comfortable. Mona brought a washed strawberry to Maxwell's mouth.

Maxwell skillfully opened his mouth and ate the strawberry. He even kissed Mona's finger. It was a little itchy. She quickly retracted her finger and gave Maxwell a warning look.

The television drama in front of them was still playing. The couple's life was simple and warm.

At this moment, Mona's phone rang. Mona patted Maxwell's shoulder, indicating for Maxwell to pass her the phone.

After Maxwell handed the phone to Mona, his eyes never left the phone screen.

Mona was already used to it. She ignored him and unlocked the phone in front of him. Then, she clicked open WhatsApp.

It showed a livestream account that Lily had sent her.

Lily: [Mona, I'm live-streaming tonight. You're welcome to check out my live stream!]

Mona replied without hesitation: [Okay!]

"Who is Lily?" Maxwell asked. He did not know that Mona knew a streamer.

Mona said, "She was a customer who came to my shop today. She bought Star's fake goods online and gave that shop a negative review. After I friended her on WhatsApp, I found out that she was a streamer." While Mona explained to Maxwell, she had already clicked on the link.

There were actually more than 10,000 viewers. Mona looked at Lily who was putting on eyeliner on the screen and felt that she was really multi-talented.

"Maxwell, university students nowadays are all so amazing. They can earn quite a lot while going to school," Mona sighed. Unlike back then, she always asked her family for money.

After saying that, she removed her legs from Maxwell's lap and sat cross-legged beside him. She leaned her head on Maxwell's shoulder and changed her posture. This made it easier for Maxwell to watch Lily's livestream. Maxwell said, "Technology is developing very quickly now. Opportunities are everywhere. When we were in university, the world wasn't so developed as good as it is now, so studying hard is the right way."

Although he said that to Mona, Maxwell had started his own business when he was in university. If he hadn't promised Richard to return to Carter Group after graduation, his company would still be able to make it in Nathontown. "Alright, you've successfully comforted me." As Mona spoke, her eyes were still focused on Lily's livestream.

Lily was especially angry when she talked about the down jacket with her followers. She was so angry that she threw away the eyeliner in her hand. Then, she said, "Speaking of the down jacket, I'm so angry. Do you know that Star is endorsed by

my idol Artemis Rain?"

Many people replied to her in the comments. They knew about Star and had bought its clothes before. The quality was alright, and the clothes were a bit expensive. The clothes sold online were much cheaper.

At this point, Mona knew why Lily sent her this livestream link. Lily wanted to expose the shop online which sold fake goods.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Lily said, "Wait a minute. I saw someone saying that they were much cheaper online. Back then, I tried to be penny-wise and bought a down jacket online, but what happened? Guys, wait for me. I'll go get it for you to see."

"This customer of yours really knows how to arouse people's interest. If she directly exposed the online shop for selling fake goods, the netizens would probably not care about it. Now that she's sharing her own experience, that kind of anger is very memorable," Maxwell said as he pinched Mona's earlobe.
