The Queen's Back

Chapter 64

Seeing the look in Matthew's eyes, Teddy immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Mom, if you're willing to give me a chance, I promise I'll treat you well and make it up to you." His tone was so sincere that it made Mona want to gag. She almost wished she could tear the facade off his face.

Listening to Teddy and Matthew play off each other, Maxwell felt a surge of worry. He genuinely feared that Mona might be deceived by Teddy's false sincerity and leave him.

Mona sensed Maxwell's shift in demeanor and feared her words might have upset him. She worried that he might grip her hand so tightly it would break, feeling his strength steadily increase.

"Is there anything else you need? If not, you can leave," Bernard said blandly. "Bernard, what about the cooperation?" Matthew couldn't help but ask. He didn't believe the Clem family wouldn't be tempted by such a favorable proposal. Dad, , I think this cooperation proposal is quite good. Shouldn't we

really think we'd agree to a good proposal just like that? You're being naive, Bernard said, looking at Jeremy. It seemed clear that the Clem Group still couldn't be entrusted to Jeremy, who lacked any resolve. The real question was who the company should
