"Oh I wouldn't dare to trouble you." Maxwell said in reply to Gordon's offer of hospitality. It was precisely because of Gordon that Maxwell felt uneasy about leaving Mona in the living room with him. He also couldn't stand the way Gordon was ogling Mona with his ** eyes. Mona reassured Maxwell and said, "Don't worry, I can take care of myself. I'll head to the kitchen and see if I can help out with anything." Maxwell then reluctantly released Mona's hand and got up to go to the study.

As soon as Maxwell left, Donald also excused himself. Mona then disregarded Gordon and headed into the kitchen area.

The Carter family had plenty of kitchen staff who obviously didn't need any help, but Mona didn't want to stay in the same room as Gordon and feel obliged to exchange niceties. It wouldn't seem nice to return directly to her room either, so she had opted to go to the kitchen. Mona helped to prep some of the ingredients, chopping up vegetables and whatnot at a relaxing pace.

It didn't take Gordon long to show up in the kitchen as well, on the grounds that he was hungry.

He saw Mona cutting up tomatoes and when she sampled a piece, he said in a euphemistic way, "Wow, Mona, that tomato looks really tasty in your mouth."

Mona sneered and said, "If you want, there are plenty more tomatoes in the refrigerator." She didn't want Gordon to eat the tomatoes that she'd prepared.

"Oh, the ones in the fridge won't taste the same as those in your hands." Gordon replied as he made his way over to her and picked up a tomato next to her hand. Then he whispered to her, "It's been a while since you and Maxwell got your marriage license, you can't still be a virgin, right?" Mona flashed Gordon an angry look. She was getting real tired of this annoying man.

He let out an amused chuckle. "Oh no, are you upset? Don't worry, if you need, I can help you out and f*****k you real nice." He dragged out the last couple of words to emphasize his point.

Mona wasn't one to take things lying down. If not for the fact that she was in the Carter family home and wanted to leave a good impression on Maxwell's family, she would have slapped Gordon square across the face. Instead, Mona smiled contemptuously at him and said, "I'm afraid you're thinking too much. Besides, even if was still a virgin, I wouldn't dare to enlist your help.'

She blinked her eyes slowly and deliberately then. Her long eyelashes fluttered downwards as she lowered her eyelids and continued, "After all, I'm afraid you might have some kind of sexually transmitted disease." Gordon had been admiring Mona's side profile and came to the sudden realization that she was more beautiful and alluring than

Maxwell's mood, and she wasn't even sure if his grandparents knew about

the best mood either. When he had been placed in charge of the Carter Group, Richard had agreed to kick Donald and Gordon out of the company. The both of them did nothing except squander the company's yearly dividends, so it was only right to leave Richard's name as the sole owner. But earlier in the study, Richard had told him he'd changed

Richard had shut him down. He didn't want to p***off the old man, so he had no choice but to agree. Maxwell would just have to find another reason to kick Gordon out again when the time came. Mona replied, "I'm fine, I just don't have a good
