The Queen's Back

"Yes, I know. Maxwell, is the matter at your company still not seled?" Mona asked.

She could tell that Maxwell had arrived in a hurry.

"It's nothing urgent, anyway. Let's go and grab your stuff first. I'll head back to the company after I send you home safely." Maxwell said.

He didn't dare to touch Mona's waist.

Every time he saw the injury, he could feel the devil inside him forcing its way out. He wished he could tear those people apart with his own hands.

Mona actually wanted to ask Haley to go with her and let Maxwell do his work first. However, when she looked up and saw Maxwell's cold gaze, she immediately nodded She knew that if Maxwell didn't see her being sent home safely, he wouldn't be in the mood to work.

As soon as the two of them left the hospital, the police chief called and asked Mona when she would have the time to give a statement.

Thinking that they were going to go to Yosneosiland the next day, Maxwell took Mona to the police station to give her statement first.

When Mona was giving her statement, the students' parents approached her, hoping to have Mona retract the case. They didn't want their daughters to have a criminal record.

Mona looked at the students' parents indifferently and sneered, So what if they're students? Aren't they already sixteen? As students, they chose to skip school and couldn't care less about their future.

"Why should I feel sorry for them? If you want me to retract the case, get your daughters to tell me who the mastermind is Otherwise, there's no room for negotiation."

"What mastermind? There's no such thing. Besides, you're alive and kicking. We're willing to give you the compensation Why aren't you willing to retract the case? Are you going to be satisfied only if our child goes to jail?" The parents of the child who hit Mona saw that Mona was fine. They felt that she was making a big fuss.

Mona couldn't believe what she heard. She couldn't fathom how mindless the parents could be. "So, I shouldn't hold your daughters accountable if I'm not seriously injured?

"Is it that I became so badly injured that I'm paralyzed, only can I sue them for assaulting me? If that really happened, no compensation, not even if she gets a lifetime jail sentence, would do justice."

Upon hearing Mona's words, the parents pointed their fingers at Mona angrily. When Maxwell came in, be happened to see the commotion.

He walked to Mona's side and placed his arm on her shoulder. He then looked at the parent with a cold gaze.

"The parents are so uncivilized. No wonder their children are like savages. Do you want to go to jail too so you can be with your daughters? I don't mind you hitting me now."

"H-How dare y-you!"

The parents panicked under Maxwell's gaze as if he would really send them to jail.

Not only was Maxwell good-looking, but he also had a strong aura.

Just standing there doing nothing was enough to make people tremble.

The parents didn't know what to say.

They could only watch as Maxwell helped Mona up and walked toward the entrance of the police station. As Maxwell walked, he said to Mona, Tve spoken to the police. The girl would be punished accordingly." How dare she hit Mona? If the punishment was too light, I, Maxwell Carter, will be the joke of Nathontown! Maxwell thought to himself.

Mona nodded and held Maxwell's hand, interlocking their fingers

She liked the feeling of their fingers overlapping each other.

Her fingers were slender and petite, while Maxwell's palm was strong and wide. He curled his fingers and held her hand firmly.

Maxwell also liked interlocking his fingers with Mona, especially in bed. Mona would softly call him by his name or words of endearment like "honey."

When the parents noticed that Mona and Maxwell were about to leave the police station, they chased after them, but they were stopped by the police.

They could only watch as Mona and Maxwell left the police station hand in hand. In the end, they sat on the ground and admitted their daughters' mistakes to the police.

By the time the two of them returned to The Designscape, Nigel had already posted the complete surveillance footage of the incident on Twitter.

The police station filed the case and posted a tweet on their offical Twitter account, warning the public to be rational and not to assault anyone at whim, or they would be punished accordingly.

Mona was on the trending searches again, but this time, just like before, netizens were divided.

One comment was: [Mona's so narrow-minded. Wasn't it just a few slaps? Was there a need to send the students to jail and ruin their life?]Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

retorted: [You weren't the one who got beaten up. You weren't the powerless one. Who are you to say

Immediately, someone that she was narrow-minded?]

[I'm not Mona. I didn't plagiarize

That comment happened to be seen by Artemis, who was leisurely looking at her phone. She immediately commented: [/ vouch for Mona. She will never plagiarize. I hope everyone can discuss this in a civilized manner.] Artemis, Mona's best friend had already vouched for her online. As Ava's boyfriend, Joseph followed with a comment fif you don't have to bear the consequences after committing a crime, what's the law for then?] Unlike Artemis, who was a female celebrity and could speak up for Mona directly, Joseph aried to sound judicious in case his fans would start imagining some melodrama between him and Mona. Joseph's comment showed support for the police and indirectly supported Mona's actions

After Joseph posted it, he sent a screenshot to Ava and texted. [Ms. Swanson, may I ask you out on a date today?

Ava replied very quickly, Yes.

Joseph looked at Ava's reply and smiled. He had done the right thing by speaking up for Mona

Artemis and Joseph's celebrity effects were very powerful. After they posted their comments, the tweet became a trending topic in just a few minutes. There were plenty of hashtags about it. [Artemis speaks for Monal

Best actor Joseph Vander has spoken]

[Artemis and Mona's sisterhood]

[The law is sacrosanct]

For a moment, Mona gained a lot of favorable impressions online. Most of them came from Artemis and Joseph's fans. Yet, many netizens scolded Artemis. Those people were most probably Molly's fans. Molly looked at her Twitter private messages. Many people asked her if she had hired someone to beat Mona up. Some even asked if she was the one who had plagiarized.

"What's going on? The person who plagiarized was Mona!' Molly was fuming. "What a bunch of trash!"

She was so angry that she threw her phone onto the bed, and her chest heaved up and down.

"What's so good about Mona? The evidence of plagiarism is already so apparent, but there are still two big celebrities speaking up for her. And now someone is asking if I was the one who plagiarized. "Too bad that the official truth is Mona's the plagiarist. Even if the netizens sided with Mona, there's no way she can prove that her designs were her own."
