The Queen's Back

Barbara walked to teddy and squatted. She looked at him at eye level and called softly, "Teddy"

Only then did Teddy shift his gaze from the phone to Barbara. He spat out, "What secrets does Maxwell have? Speak"

Barbara subconsciously glanced at the content of Teddy's phone screen. It was Elene's WhatsApp interface. Barbara felt slightly upset and thought. Didn't Elene accompany Teddy just for a few months? Why is Teddy thinking about her even after she died?' Barbara seemed to be burning with anger

"Say something! If you don't, get out!" Teddy was a little impatient when he saw Barbara had not spoken for a long time. He hated Barbara as much as he pitied her in the past.

"I'll tell you!" Barbara felt embarrassed by Teddy's harsh words. She thought, 'It was all Elene's fault for not letting me feel happy even after she died.

"The original amnesiac, Maxwell Carter, was a fake, surgically disguised by a scheming impostor. However, the real Maxwell- has returned. His relationship with Mona is still good. Teddy, you and Mona have no chance now. You've been drinking for so long. It's time for you to sober up. Elene was gone. Your appearance will only make the hearts of those who care about you ache, such as me!"

Barbara's hand reached out to touch Teddy's cheek as she said. She didn't know why their relationship had come to that. Teddy used to be so protective of her.

Teddy slapped Barbara directly before her slender fingers could touch Teddy's cheek.

In the dark room, the heavy curtains were slightly blown up by the wind. Neither of them spoke. The slap was loud. Teddy roared at Barbara with red eyes, "She's not dead. Elene is not dead. The police haven't found her body yet!"

His words were meant for Barbara and himself. It had been several days and nights, and there was no news of Elene. It was as if Elene had disappeared from the world.

'She didn't die? They couldn't find her corpse, Barbara mocked Teddy in her heart for deceiving himself. "There are so many wild beasts on the mountain. Perhaps Elene's corpse had been eaten by them. She died without a complete corpse!'

Of course, Barbara would not say that in front of Teddy. "Teddy, you're hurting me!"

Barbara's voice sounded extremely aggrieved!

However, Teddy no longer felt anything. His heart was filled with Elene, who was dead because of his choice. Those scenes seemed to coincide with Mona being pushed down from the top floor in his dream. The scenes played in his mind. Moreover, Mona had become Elene in his dream.

He did not want Elene to die and wanted to save her, but he could only save one. He could only choose one. He did not know how to choose because he subconsciously felt he owed Mona. He could only choose that way!

"Get out!" Teddy pointed at the door and shouted at Barbara.

Barbara met Teddy's red eyes. Teddy spoke sternly. Barbara was so frightened that her heart trembled. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and slowly walked forward.

"Teddy, you have to pull yourself together!" said Barbara.

Then she walked out without waiting for Teddy's reply.

After she saw the servant who saw her off went in. Barbara used her alternate account to text Hannah, Teddy's mother.

[Your son doesn't eat or drink at home because of a woman's death!]

After sending it, Barbara drove back to pack her things. She handed Teddy to Hannah. She hoped he would become the high-spirited Teddy again after the Christmas season and not the way he was now. Just looking at him made her angry!

On the Clem family's side, Mona was dragged by Maxwell to take an afternoon nap. Mona felt refreshed when she woke up. Maxwell was already awake but did not get up. He pinched Mon's face and rubbed her head, enjoying himself. "What time is it?" asked Mona, grabbing Maxwell's mischievous band.

"It's after two. Do you want to get up?"

Mona nodded. "Yes. Pull me up!"

"Good!"

Then Maxwell held Mona's waist and half-carried her up.

Mona wrapped her arms around Maxwell's neck. Absence makes their heart grow fonder. Mona could not get close enough to Maxwell.

When Mona and Maxwell went downstairs, Bernard and Jane were already drinking coffee. Mona and Maxwell greeted them. Jane said, "Mona, you're finally awake. I want you to help me take a look at that dress! Hurry up and go upstairs with me to take a look!" Then she pulled Mona away from Maxwell. Mona squeezed Maxwell's fingers before letting go.

After Jane and Mona left, Maxwell sat beside Bernard and asked, "Bernard, what do you want to say to me by sending Mona away?"

Bernard put down his cup leisurely and said, "That's right. I have something to tell you. I don't want Mona to hear it." Parents were always worried about their children.

"Go ahead, I'm listening!"

"What happened between Mona and that fake you was not what she wanted. She thought that person was you. I hope to make it clear to you. Don't pamper her now but feel uncomfortable when you think of it days later. Then you'll see everything's wrong with Mona, and it will hurt her feelings. If that time comes, Jane and I will not let you off," said Bernard, looking into Maxwell's eyes.

Bernard's eyes were filled with the strength of not admitting defeat.

Jane and Bernard had not rested well the entire afternoon. They remembered what Barbara said at the dining table. They had not thought about it before, but after thinking about it, Bernard and Jane felt they should talk it out with Maxwell and not let Mona be sad in the future. Maxwell thought Bernard was going to tell him about the company. He didn't expect it to be this. Mona had told him about

1. it.

"Bernard, nothing happened between Mona and that fake Maxwell. They slept in separate rooms," said Maxwell.

Then, he looked at Bernard's shocked gaze and said, "Bernard, please rest assured. I won't blame Mona even if something happens between her and that fake Maxwell. I won't despise her. Instead, I'll love her more and treat her well. I'll erase the unhappiness in her heart. If this is the result, I can only say I'm useless and not strong enough to protect her. I should reflect on this."

"You despise? MonaMona is wonderful. Hmph!"

He promised again.

"That's right. Alright. Jane and I are relieved nothing happened. Sigh, that fake Maxwell messed up the company. I'll have to trouble you in the future. I only have Mona and Albert. Mona isn't interested in the company, and Albert hasn't grown up yet. Take good care of Mona. The company will rely on you in the future!"
