The Queen's Back

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. 10:29 Sun, Nov 10

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.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

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.

He also knew that Mona had been bored to death at home for the past few months. It was good to go out for a breather.

Of course, Mona was happy. She just wanted to take a look at Star's opening ceremony and relax outside.

These days, she spent most of her time at home drawing design drafts, then sleeping and eating. She felt like she was about to become a pet raised at home.

Mona put on a red gown with a loose skirt. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to notice her pregnant belly. The shoes were chosen according to Maxwell's requirements. She wore a pair of leather shoes without heels.

Star was located in the most prosperous Pleasantview Plaza in Nathontown. Its location was also very good. Beside the elevator on the second floor, guests would often be able to see the word "Star" the moment they stepped out of the elevator. It was very eye-catching.

The opening ceremony officially began at ten o'clock in the morning. Because the Image Representative was Artemis, there were many customers early in the morning, and reporters were holding cameras.

When Mona and Maxwell arrived, the entrance was already surrounded by customers. Fortunately, Star had a back door. Otherwise, Mona and the others would not know how to enter.

After entering, Mona saw Ava and the others busy cleaning the shop. There was also a sign for the opening promotional event so that customers could see it as soon as they entered.

The design of the Star was mainly golden yellow. There were photos of Artemi's outfits on the coffee table in front of the sofa for guests to rest. Coupled with the warm light, it exuded a glorious aura.

Star mainly sold middle-to-high-end clothes, which were more suitable for young people. Most of them were designed by Mona, and some were made by Elara.

After Mona entered, Ava hurriedly greeted her. Mona casually looked at the clothes in the shop and touched them. They were all produced according to her request. She silently praised them in her heart. "Mona, you look good today. Is the baby obedient recently?" Ava said with a smile. Her gaze fell on Mona's belly. It had been almost four months. Although Mo
