The Queen's Back

Chapter 172

Chapter 172

The first thing Mona did was open WhatsApp, where she found Emily's chat history with Jeremy. She casually scrolled through their messages.

It seemed that Emily had a habit of clearing her messages. There were only three days' worth of chat history with Jeremy and they had not even spoken on one of the days.

On the first day, Emily brought up divorce and told Jereiny to leave the Clem family, Jeremy kept apologizing, insisting that his situation with Beatrice was just a mistake.

Emily gave Jeremy a day to think it over. Either they would get divorced, or she would tell Bernard about his affair. If it came to that. Jeremy would not just lose his chance at any share of the family's assets. He would probably have a hard time even finding a decent job in Nathontown.

The last day was also the day Emily passed away in a car accident. Their conversation was brief. Jeremy and Emily had agreed to meet at a cafe to sign the divorce papers. It was on her way there that her brakes failed, leading to the accident.

Going through the messages and photos, Mona only came across evidence of Jeremy's affair. There was nothing more. Beatrice's name did not even appear in Emily's WhatsApp contacts.

There were also some other things recorded in the notes app.

This evidence only proves that Jeremy was having an affair, and Emily wanted a divorce which Jeremy opposed. Considering how Emily's brakes failed on the way to sign the divorce papers, it was reasonable to suspect that Jeremy may have tampered with them in advance.

But all of this was just Mona's speculation. There was no actual evidence.

"After all this time, there's still no useful evidence. All it shows is that my mom knew about Jeremy's affair before she died," Mona sighed and said helplessly.

It had been so many years since the accident. It was almost impossible to uncover any
