The Queen's Back

Chapter 116

Maxwell met Mona's puzzled eyes and nodded sternly. "I think your singing is not bad. I'm happy to be your audience."

After listening to what Maxwell said, Mona's heart thumped non-stop. She smiled shyly at him.

'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? Even if I sang out of tune, Maxwell would like it. Mona was touched as she thought.

Since it was Nathontown's design competition the day before, Clem Group gave the employees of the Design Department two days off. After waking up, Mona woke up and lay on the bed for a while before getting up. Meanwhile, Maxwell had left for Carter Group. After she cleaned up, Mona ate the breakfast cooked by Maxwell with a warm heart. Then, she heard the doorbell ring.

After Mona opened the door, she saw Martin standing at the door. Then, Martin moved to the side, and Richard appeared. Mona subconsciously greeted Richard.

Richard nodded and went into the living room. Martin followed behind him. Mona closed the door and followed him in. As soon as she walked in, Mona saw Richard sitting on the main seat of the sofa with the attitude of a superior. Mona smiled and asked, "Richard, would you like some coffee?" Richard nodded. "Yes, please."

When Mona went to make the coffee, Richard looked at her back and thought about what to say later.

It was not until Lydia was arrested by the police that Richard found out Lydia had kidnapped Mona. Richard was furious. But he had watched Lydia grow up and couldn't bear to see her go to jail. So, he shamelessly came to talk to Mona. After making the coffee, Mona placed the cup in front of Richard and sat on the sofa beside him.

For a moment, the three of them did not speak. The living room was quiet.

After a long time, Richard sipped the coffee and said, "Mona, I came here today to ask you for a favor."

to apologize to you? Or you can ask for anything," Richard said subconsciously. He knew there was no point in apologizing after this. However, other than saying so, he did not know how to resolve Mona's hatred toward Lydia. Mona took a deep breath and said, "Richard, I've said so much just now. What I mean is that I won't forgive Lydia. If she did something wrong, she has to be punished. Otherwise, what's the use of the law? So we're done talking here. If you
