The Queen's Back

Chapter 164

Mona nodded gently in Maxwell's arms. She hated Barbara. In her previous life, Barbara had pushed her down the building. causing her life to end in vain. How could she not hate her?

Although she had been reborn, how could she not remember the fear, weightlessness, and pain from the moment she fell

In this life, even if she did not want to harm someone as Barband did to her in her previous life, she also did not want to let others have an easy time.

"Mona, hating someone will make you unhappy. So, can you slowly release the hatred in your heart?" Maxwell asked.

When he was young, Gordon bullied him. He hated Gordon so much that he wished he could kill him when he grew up or had suicidal thoughts. However, Mona's appearance filled him with hope again.

When Gordon bullied him as a child, he got his revenge as he grew up and even snatched the position of the general manager of Carter Group, which Gordon had longed for. So now, in his heart, Gordon was just a weightless stranger.

"Maxwell, unless Barbara receives her due punishment, it is hard for me to let go, Mona said softly. What she meant was not about this life but what Barbara had done to her in her previous life.

Mona sighed in Maxwell's arms and said, "Maxwell, let me tell you a story. Perhaps you will understand why I hate Barbara so much after you listen to it."

"Alright." Maxwell was curious to hear Mona's explanation. From what he knew, she was not a petty person. Moreover she had already expressed love for him, so he wanted to trust her.

Mona understood that the idea of rebirth was mysterious. She hesitated to tell Maxwell the truth, fearing he might think she needed psychiatric help. Instead, she decided to frame it as a dream. "In my opinion, what happened in my dream was real. Let's start with the engagement ceremony."

Mona spoke softly, sharing the events of her previous life with Maxwell as if they were a dream. She recounted how she became engaged to Teddy and transformed into the excellent wife and mother he and his family desired-cooking, cleaning, and caring for Teddy's mother.

During this time, Teddy was colluding with Barbara, eyeing the Clem family's company. Later, when the wedding was planned, Mona unexpectedly discovered Teddy kissing Barbara She announced on the spot that she would not marry him and vowed to expose their conspiracy.
