The Queen's Back

After entering the room next door, Mona heaved a sigh of relief, thinking, 'The entire room is pitch dark. Fortunately, there's no one in this room. Otherwise, that would've been awkward.' She rested for a while. Once her body was not so weak anymore, she went out of the room, wanting to get the spare gown in the car to change into. The clothes she was wearing were unpresentable. Perhaps everyone was attracted by the prostitution trade in the room next door. There was no a single person in the long corridor. Just like that, Mona easily arrived at the floor where the ball was held and left the hotel.

As soon as Mona walked out, she saw Maxwell getting out of the car in a hurry. Haley and Nigel were also with him.

Their eyes met. Mona could clearly see the worry in Maxwell's eyes.

"Mona," Maxwell called out as he unbuttoned his suit jacket and strode toward Mona.

Nigel cleverly turned his gaze away, afraid that he would see something he shouldn't. If that happened, he would be in trouble.

Then, both of them spoke at the stime.

"Maxwell, how cyou are here?" Mona asked.

"Mona, are you hurt?" Maxwell asked.

Maxwell draped his suit jacket over Mona's shoulders, gently caressed her flushed cheeks with his big palm, and pulled her into his embrace.

He thought, 'Thank goodness Mona's okay. I don't know what I would've done otherwise.' Mona shook her head in Maxwell's arms and brought her focus back to his question earlier. "I'm fine. How cyou are here in Noretin?" She thought, 'And he got here so fast.' Maxwell said, "Haley toldyou were missing. I was very worried that something had happened to you." It was more than just worry. His heart felt like it was about to leap out of his chest.

A moment later, Maxwell asked again, "What exactly happened?" Mona told Maxwell about how she was knocked out in the restroom and sent to Brendan's bed.

By the end of what she said, Maxwell's expression was extremely displeased. He hugged Mona in his arms even tighter and said through gritted teeth, "What happened after that?" "After that, Brendan was worried that he would do something to me, so he went to the bathroom to take a cold shower. I heard someone opening the door at the doorway, so I climbed over from the balcony of the room to the balcony of another room. When I cout, I saw you." Mona briefly recounted what had just happened to Maxwell.

She made it sound easy, but just the fact that she had been drugged made it extremely difficult for her to climb over the balcony. Besides, she was extremely afraid of heights. To Mona, this action of climbing over the balcony was incredibly difficult.

After Maxwell heard her recounting the incident, he hugged Mona even tighter in his arms, as if he wanted to becone with her. "Mona, I will definitely make your kidnapper pay the price." "That's for sure. This person is too bold, thinking up something and just doing it, even having the guts to sendto someone else's bed." Mona spoke angrily. It wasn't until now that she smelled the unique scent of Maxwell and felt his warmth that she felt her legs were no longer weak and that she completely calmed down.

"Mona, you don't have to worry about this," Maxwell said. "How are you feeling?" This question was what Maxwell was most concerned about now.

"That sensation isn't so strong now. It's probably because too much thas passed and the drug effects have worn off." Speaking of this, Mona remembered that Brendan was still in the room. She thought, 'So many people have come. Barbara is also there. It seems that the arrival of so many reporters is all her doing. 'Since Brendan's subordinate intended to sendto his bed to please him, why would he call the reporters over? 'Looks like it must be Barbara's doing. She wants to seemake a fool of myself.' "It's good that you're fine." Upon hearing Mona's words, Maxwell felt relieved.

After that, Mona changed into a spare gown from the car and walked with Maxwell toward Brendan's room.

She thought, 'Since I am the female lead in this incident, how could I not show up and just watch them perform the show by themselves?' ***** In Brendan's room at this moment, not only did Barbara search on the balcony, but she also searched the cabinets in the room. There was not even a living thing, let alone Mona.

'At this point, could Mona really just vanish into thin air?' she thought, not believing in such nonsense.

Jenson rushed over with his subordinates, Just as he arrived at the doorway of Brendan's room, he heard the soft discussion inside and shouted inwardly that a big problem was brewing. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

When he entered the room, he was so anxious that he almost lost his footing and fell in.

Sure enough, he saw a large group of people packed into Brendan's room as soon as he entered. He even saw Brendan in the bathroom, delirious and being watched like a monkey. Even without looking at Brendan's expression, he could sense that his face was filled with anger.

He thought, 'It's over. Not just over, but completely finished. Mr. Conrad has lost so much face. Let's not even talk about pleasing him. I might not even be able to keep my life.' Jenson instructed the people beside him, "What are you all looking at? Who allowed you to cin? Smash the cameras in their hands and take hold of everyone. We'll wait for Mr. Conrad to deal with them." Now, he could only try his best to minimize the damage to Brendan. If he waited for Brendan's people to arrive, he would not even have the chance to do anything for him. When the reporters heard that not only were their cameras to be smashed, but they were also to be arrested, they immediately made a racket. Seven ran straight for the exit.

However, Jenson's subordinates were not to be trifled with. They immediately smashed all the cameras in the reporters' hands and took hold of them.

"Don't get things wrong. We're here to look for someone. Now that we've confirmed that the person is not here, we leave immediately." It was Leander who spoke up first, fearing that Jenson would capture them as well.

QUMS Jenson looked at Leander warily, thinking that regardless of the reason, he should capture them first and wait for Brendan to be clear-headed before making a decision. Just as he was about to speak, Mona and Maxwell showed up at the doorway.

The appearance of Mona startled everyone in the room. Among them, Jenson was the most surprised, He had personally witnessed his subordinates send Mona to the bed in this room, yet now she was coming in from outside. He thought, 'Could it be that she can walk through walls?' Upon seeing Mona, it was Leander who spoke first. He asked, "Mona, how cyou are..."

Mona said, "Mr. Ford, sorry to worry you. It's all my fault. The gown got жем wet. I went outside to change my gown and forgot to Xe Haley, which caused this misunderstanding. I'm really sorry," Leander smiled. "It's good that you're fine. Next time, just let us know if anything happens. Everyone was very worried about you." X Despite saying that, he thought, 'You've really made a big mistake. Even Mr. Carter has rushed over.'
