The Queen's Back

Chapter 124

Mona bent over and raised her head. She was waiting for Stephanie to respond to her greeting. Her posture made it hard to keep on.

After a long time, Mona still did not hear Stephanie's voice. She knew Stephanie was deliberately making things difficult for her and pretending not to hear her.

Mona said loudly, "Stephanic, how are you doing?"

Mona's voice was loud enough that even the servants far away could hear her. If Stephanie did not say anything, it was obvious that she was deliberately making things difficult for Mona.

Stephanie hummed softly and turned to look at Mona. For some reason, she threw her coffee cup to the ground and said sternly, "Why? Why are you so loud? Are you yelling at me the first day after you marry into the Carter family?"

Hearing Stephanie's words, Mona silently rolled her eyes in her heart and thought to herself, 'If she didn't want me to speak so loud, why hasn't she responded in the first place? So pretentious!"

The burning cup hit the floor, and the coffee splashed on Mona, splashing on her ankle. At first, it was relatively hot, but later, the coffee turned cold. Even Mona's pants were a little wet and stuck to her skin. She found it uncomfortable to wear it. Seeing that, Maxwell wanted to stop it, but Richard gave him a look, indicating for him to stand still.

Since Mona had married into the Carter family, everyone in Nathontown knew about it. In the Carter family, she had to follow some rules, just like meeting the elders like today.

Helpless, Mona asked the servant beside her to serve Stephanie another cup of coffee.

She respectfully handed the cup to Stephanie and said loudly, "Stephanie, here's your coffee."

Stephanie took the coffee cup from Mona's hand. Seeing her frown, Mona said, "Stephanie, I've just tested the temperature of the coffee. It's neither hot nor cold. It's just right."
