The Queen's Back

Chapter 223

Many people came to the gathering one after another. Mona kept watching the people coming and going, but she did not

see Danielle.

Seeing someone was already going up the stage to speak, Mona still did not see the person she wanted to see.

A faint worry crept into her heart. She had long heard that Danielle had lived in a peaceful, scenic place. She wondered whether Danielle really came to such a bustling place to attend a so-called private gathering.

If she couldn't meet Danielle today, then this trip to Yosnrosilanal with Maxwell would have been in vain. Meanwhile, the online plagiarism scandal was still trending, and it was even starting to impact the company's stock price. She was worried that the plagiarism issue would escalate further, potentially impacting the company's operations, as well as her reputation.

"Don't worry, Mona," Maxwell said, noticing the worry on her face. "If we don't meet the person we're looking for this time, we'll go elsewhere to find her. We'll see her eventually." He held her hand a bit tighter

Mona nodded slightly. "But I still hope Danielle will show up!"

Just as Mona finished speaking, she saw an old woman being supported inside.

From a distance, the woman captured the attention of those around her. In a dark-colored dress, with gently curled white hair and a jade bracelet on her wrist, her face was lined with wrinkles, but they couldn't hide her noble aura Mona's gaze met Danielle's, and she was surprised to see Danielle smiling at her. Mona stood there in shock for a moment before instinctively smiling back.

As she watched the woman walk toward her, Mona felt a surge of excitement. She tightly grasped Maxwell's hand as if asking him what was happening.

"Emmie, is that you back?" At that moment, Danielle took hold of Mona's other hand.

Mona looked into the old woman's tearful eyes, and she was suddenly at a loss for what was happening.

Upon hearing someone call out "Emmie", Mona instinctively remembered her mother, Emily.
