The Queen's Back

Chapter 326 58% A few days ago, Mona had no inspiration for drawing and wanted Maxwell to accompany her to revisit Nathontown High School. However, after a vague suspicion arose in her heart, she decided to wait for the news Nigel would bring from Welintern before making a decision.

Jane patted Mona's hand and said, "Alright, I know Maxwell lost his memory and you're distressed. However, you must believe that this hardship is only temporary. Maybe he'll regain his memory very soon." Mona nodded. "Grandma is right. I'll accompany you and Grandpa to go Christmas shopping later." Mona only told Nigel about her suspicion; she did not tell others, including her grandparents and best friends. The fewer people knew about this, the better. If Maxwell was fake, there must be someone behind him. She did not want to act rashly and alert the enemy. Furthermore, Maxwell looked exactly the sas before. Only Mona knew the mole on his right shoulder was different, but it could be a newly grown mole. She was also worried that her grandparents would not believe her or worry after she told them. Therefore, she might as well wait for evidence before she told them.

"Great, you're such a good girl," said Bernard, who liked his granddaughter from the bottom of his heart.

The Clem family personally did the Christmas shopping every year, and never delegated to the servants. They valued the festive spirit and only felt like celebrating Christmas by doing it themselves.

"Of course, I love Grandpa and Grandma the most." Mona leaned her head on Jane's shoulder. Only then could she feel a moment of peace. She had many doubts in her heart, making her feel uneasy.

After Mona and Haley took their lunch at the Clem family residence, they rested in their rooms for a while before they went shopping at a nearby marketplace.

Haley drove, Mona sat in the passenger seat, while Bernard and Jane sat at the back. The entire journey was filled with laughter.

They chere to shop every year; this was the largest marketplace in Nathontown. There were many imported things here, and ordinary families rarely shopped here.

Mona was very familiar with everything sold here. She took Jane straight to the fruit section. Whether it was seasonal or off-season fruits, the variety here was dazzling. Mona bought plenty for each, with servants following behind to carry them.

There were many servants in the Clem family. Many people also visited the Clem family during Christmas. Therefore, they bought plenty of beverages, cookies, candies, chocolates, etc. Bernard just followed behind Mona and Jane to pay for their purchases. After buying the fruits, Mona and the others went to the fresh produce section to purchase Turkey, ham, roasts, and meat. When they reached home, they would marinate them so that they could be readily served when the guests cto visit them during the Christmas celebrations.

Behind them were the snack and the flower sections. In the end, Mona and the others bought a lot of things. Even Haley's and Mona's hands were full.

"Haley, helpwith the things. I'm going to the toilet in front; I'll be back soon." The sky was gradually getting dark. Before leaving, Mona suddenly felt like going to the toilet. She placed the things in her hands by Haley's feet and asked Haley to help keep an eye on them. It was rather crowded, and she worried people might take away her things. "Mona, wait a moment. I'll go with you." As she spoke, Haley handed the things at her hands to the servant behind her. She could not slack off on Mona's safety. No matter what, Mona's safety cfirst; this was her responsibility. 15:51 Fri, Dec 6 Chapter 326 Mona looked at Haley's determined gaze and nodded. Life was unpredictable; she felt more at ease having a bodyguard by her side.

After Mona and Haley left, Bernard suggested waiting for them in the car. Their faces were full of smiles; another year had gone by.

The wind in the winter was blowing and it was a little cold. The people coming and going walked out of the market. Under Haley's protection, Mona went to the toilet at the side.

When they reached the door, Haley wanted to follow her in. Seeing a long queue in the toilet, Mona asked Haley to wait at the door. From Haley's angle, she could see the scene inside and nodded.

Perhaps Mona was lucky. When she went over, there was a spot available. After smiling at Haley, she walked in. When Mona closed the toilet partition door and turned around, only to see two people crammed in the small corner, and they looked unfriendly. To make things worse, there was a missing door, leading directly into the neighboring partition. Just as she was about to call out for help, one of the people beside her swiftly struck her neck with force.

Before Mona could utter a sound, her body went limp and she fainted. The person beside her caught her and prevented her from falling.

"Be careful. She has a bodyguard outside," one of the people said.

The person holding Mona nodded. "Don't worry. I'll go out from the partition at the side and leave her in the washroom." "Alright, you go first. I'll stall for time." ***** Haley's eyes were fixed on the door through which Mona had entered. It was still closed. Naturally, she did not notice that the door next to it opened. Mona had been placed in a large blue bucket with a lid on it. At first glance, one would only think that it was filled with trash. One would not expect someone to be inside, being pushed toward the door.

The cart was getting closer to Haley. Haley was so focused on the partition Mona had entered that she did not notice the woman pushing the cart beside her.

The two brushed past each other.

Mona was successfully moved but. When they arived at the parking lot, En.

they got into a black van. "Done?" the driver asked.

"Done. She's in the bucket. Let's go." As soon as he finished speaking, the black van drove away and left the garage.

** Haley, in the toilet, saw that Mona had remained inside for almost five minutes and had yet to cout. She walked over done?" and knocked on the door twice. "Mona, are you The person inside pinched his nose and imitated the voice. He said softly, "No, I have stomach upset." "Alright, I'll wait for you at the side." After saying that, Haley returned to her previous position.

For sreason Haley felt Mona's voice sound strange, but she could not tell what it was. Mona was still in the toilet, and she was waiting at her original spot.

After the person inside heard Haley's footsteps, he went out from the m adjacent partition. After brushing past Haley, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled into a smile. He was smug and overflowing with joy. By this time, the van had already left. Mona had already been smuggled out. They had succeeded.
