The Queen's Back

"Everybody in the entire ball is looking for that woman now. Things won't go wrong, right?"

"Mike, what could possibly happen? We're just doing what we're paid to do. Maybe that woman's already having a good time."

"Ricky is right. We're just doing what we're paid to do. If anything really happens, Mr. Ward will take responsibility. This job has already been completed. We'll just wait to get money from Mr. Ward tomorrow."

"Jacky, Ricky is right. I'm short-sighted. It's that woman's fortune to have a man like Mr. Conrad taking a liking to her."

"Mike, that's well said. Let's go. I'll bring you guys to enjoy yourselves."

After the three men left, Barbara came out from behind the tree. Her lips curled into a wicked smile.

She thought, 'I was just worried about how to win the Design Competition in Noretin. Well, the method just fell to my lap. Mr. Conrad? I wonder which greasy middle-aged man has taken a fancy to Mona. It seems that being beautiful and charming isn't necessarily a good thing. See, that's the consequence.'

Barbara believed as long as Mona's reputation was damaged, the judges and audience would naturally have a bad impression of her designs, especially the audience. In that case, Mona would not be a threat anymore.

Then, she took out her spare phone, found the numbers of a few reporters in Noretin, and started texting them one by one.

"[Tonight's headline. A prostitution deal has appeared on the second floor of a certain hotel. The woman involved is the first-place winner of Nathontown Design Competition! She's married. Hurry up, or you'll miss out on the headline!]"

Barbara thought, 'Now, I just have to wait and enjoy the show. Today, the universe is really on my side.'

There was still a long night ahead.

At this moment, Mona, who was in the room, felt that her strength had recovered a little. She got up with difficulty and walked toward the door of the room. Sure enough, the situation was just as Brendan had said. The door was locked from the outside, and Brendan's phone beside her feet had no signal.

As for the windows, just to be on the safe side, all of them were fitted with security bars.

Mona opened the windows. The cold wind from outside blew in. She forced herself to calm down.
