The Queen's Back

After Mona and Maxwell returned to the Clem Family's residence, Maxwell heard from Polly that Bernard and Jane had gone to Barbara's place. The reason was that Barbara could not accept her mother had killed Emily. At one point, she did not go out of her home. She cried all day and did not eat or drink. Barbara's housekeeper brought the news to Bernard. She said that she was worried a young girl like her would take things too hard and commit suicide. Upon receiving the news, Bernard and Jane hurriedly rushed to Barbara's residence.

However, what was more shocking for Bernard and Beatrice was that Beatrice was the culprit of their daughter's killing. Last night, when Bernard and Jane heard from the police that Beatrice was complicit in Emily's murder, they hung up silently. They were unwilling to accept this fact for a long time.

After all, their daughter had a good relationship with Beatrice. They were so close that Jane would sometimes be jealous of Beatrice. Emily told Beatrice almost everything. Emily would bring Beatrice wherever she went. They were as close as sisters. Even everyone at Nathontown knew about their friendship.

But then, hearing Barbara might commit suicide at home, Bernard didn't waste a second and rushed over. No matter what, she was innocent.

After Mona finished listening to Polly, she pulled Maxwell outside. She guessed Barbara was used to win the sympathy of her grandparents by causing a scene such as this. This time, by making them think she might commit suicide.

Since Barbara often gave Bernard medicine, Bernard and Jane's attitude towards her changed drastically. Barbara would visit their house for meals and even stay if it was late. But since Beatrice's imprisonment, Barbara has lived alone. Mona had reason to suspect that Barbara's purpose for acting pitiful was to move back to the Clem Family and obtain the pity and love of her grandparents.

However, if that were Barbara's reason, it would seem odd. After all, her mother, Beatrice, was Emily's murderer. This would be awkward when she moved into Bernard's house.

'But why is she acting so sad, self-reproaching, and guilty? Perhaps she didn't know anything about what her mother had done.' Mona wondered. It was not easy to chase Barbara out of the Clem Family's house. Mona did not want Barbara to return and live with her grandparents. Even worse, she might try to kill her again.

When Bernard suggested that Barbara should stay in the Clem Family's house, Mona knew that Bernard must have tried the medicine Barbara gave. At first, Bernard thought the medicine would not be good for his health. However, Mona miscalculated. Bernard's body had been recuperating well and felt much better.

Maxwell looked at Mona's increasingly serious expression and tightened his grip on Mona's hand. He comforted her, "Mona, don't be anxious. Everything will be fine."

Mona calmed down and said, "I'm just anxious. I don't want
