The Queen's Back

Chapter 214

Maxwell raised his hand and helped Mona smoothen her messy hair. His eyes met Mona's aggrieved eyes..

At that moment, Maxwell wanted to call Nigel to teach those ignorant reporters a lesson. "What a bunch of idiots, he thought.

"Mona, it's alright now," Maxwell comforted her. It seemed that the plan to go to Yosncosiland to look for Danielle couldn't be delayed any longer.

Maxwell's doting call of Mona's name made her feel more aggrieved. She pounced into Maxwell's arms and asked, "I already said that I didn't plagiarize. Why? Why did those people turn a deaf ear to that? Every question they asked was about me plagiarizing Maxwell gently cupped Mona's check and looked into her eyes. Ele said softly, "That's because they're stupid. What's there to say to stupid people?"

"Maxwell, but I feel terrible when they say that about me. It's suffocating. Mona pointed at her chest and said pitifully.

Maxwell put his palm directly onto Mona's chest, and the heat spread from his palm to Mona's heart.

"Mona, I'm going to prove your innocence online. Trust me," he assured her.

Mona nodded heavily and fell into Maxwell's arms again, feeling the sense of security Maxwell gave her.

On the way home, Maxwell asked Nigel to send a lawyer's letter in the names of Clem Group and Carter Group to the group of unprofessional reporters.

However, he was a step too late. The group of reporters had already posted the photos online, and there were even posts by random netizens.

Moreover, the titles were eye-catching and attracted attention online again.

When the two of them returned to the Clem residence, Jane and Bernard had already been waiting in the living room for a long time.

When Jane saw Mona and Maxwell, she went straight to Mona and held the latter's hand dearly. Maxwell took a step back. "Grandma, I didn't plagiarize. I designed that gown myself," Mona said in a hoarse voice.

"I know, I know. You have been wronged, Mona," Jane said as she stroked Mona's hair.

She watched Mona grow up, so she knew Mona inside out. Her granddaughter's talent in design had been there since she was young, and they had been nurturing her in this aspect. Mona had only taken a break from it for a short period of time. She couldn't have plagiarized.
