The Queen's Back

Chapter 345

At noon, Nigel sent over lunch boxes, and Mona joined Maxwell in the office to eat. The afternoon flew by, and by the end of the day, Maxwell had grasped the current situation of the Clem Group. During his absence, the imposter had given orders that resulted in the loss of several significant contracts. Maxwell instructed his team to reconnect with those clients to explore any chances of recovery. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that the imposter had primarily ruined his efforts. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

As the sun set, Maxwell held Mona's hand as they walked along the path toward the Clem family home. After a long time, Mona felt the warmth of his grip agáin and looked up at Maxwell, her eyes shining with uncontainable joy.

"Mona, do you think Mr. and Mrs. Clem will blame me for not taking good care of you?" Maxwell asked, worried. The imposter had caused Mona a lot of anxiety in his name, and he was furious to learn that the imposter had said hurtful things during her kidnapping. He felt that having Nigel ruin the imposter's appearance was too lenient.

Mona shook her head and said, "Grandpa and Grandma already know what happened; they won't blame you. Maxwell, they care about you just like I do."

The pain she experienced during those days was all related to Maxwell, but she didn't blame him at all. Instead, all she felt for him was heartache and longing. As she reflected on it, the heartache from her dreams lingered.

"That's good!" Maxwell said. Others might not blame him, but he blamed himself for making Mona sad. He felt powerless for not being able to protect her.

As the two walked in the warm glow of the setting sun, they entered the Clem family home, where everyone was waiting at the door. Jane looked at Mona and Maxwell, whose hands were tightly intertwined. A smile had returned to Mona's lips, bringing a sense of joy and relief to Jane's heart.

"It's good that everything is alright. Come in quickly; Polly has prepared dinner, and you both look thinner these days," Jane said, subtly observing Maxwell. She couldn't help but marvel at how identical he appeared, even down to the number of eyelashes. The aesthetic surgery was remarkably impressive, achieving such an uncanny resemblance.
