The Queen's Back

Chapter 94

As Mona was about to step out of the room, Stephanie grabbed her arm and said, "Mona, no need to go out. I have a new nightgown here. Maxwell should still be talking with his grandfather; just send him a message to tell him you are with me Mona thought about it and agreed, so she took out her phone and sent a message to Maxwell. Then, she headed to the bathroom with the nightgown Stephanie handed her. She was extremely tired today.

Stephanie watched Mona's a's slender figure and smiled knowingly.

While Mona

Was

s getting dressed after her shower, she thought she heard a noise, probably coming from downstairs. Wondering if something had happened, she hurriedly finished getting dressed.. As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, she saw Stephanie half-reclining on the bed, waving to her, "Grandma, did you hear that noise just now? It seemed to come from downstairs." She hadn't heard it clearly while in the bathroom, but Stephanie being outside, might have heard it better.

Stephanie shook her "What noise?

Nothing. Come over and sleep. I'm already tired."

She yawned, her eyes drowsily fixed on Mona

Even though Mona thought she had heard something, she couldn't pinpoint which room it came from, so it wouldn't be good to head down without knowing.

Mona reminded herself that Maxwell was still talking with Richard. As long as the noise wasn't coming from him, it didn't concern her. Smiling, she walked towards the bed.

Just as

as she sat down, she heard the sound of something crashing downstairs. This time it was much clearer, and it seemed to come from Maxwell's room. Without hesitation, she told Stephanie and headed downstairs.

She felt a nagging sense of unease because she hadn't seen Maxwell since she returned from the garden. It had been Stephanie who mentioned that Maxwell was with Richard in the study, and she wasn't sure if that was the truth.

Mona thought, What could they possibly be discussing for two hours? The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. And what about Stephanie? In the past, she has never been particularly close to me, so her unusual warmth tonight is truly puzzling: Mona thought. Mona
