The Queen's Back

Chapter 338 After Gordon left, Mona didn't return to her room. Instead, she had Haley bring her a spare key to the bedroom, quickly unlocking the door while holding a basin of cold water. Mona had never been the type to be bullied, especially now that she was sure he was an imposter.

There was nothing to be upset about; Mona just wanted to find out where Maxwell was and whether he was suffering. Upon entering. Mona found the two in the room still sound asleep, the woman's head resting on his chest, her cheeks flushed from the night's activities. Without hesitation, Mona poured the basin of cold water over them. 'How dare you pushyesterday? You had snerve! If she weren't just pretending to be pitiful in front ofwould ensure she wouldn't get another chance to play the victim, either!' she thought. The basin of cold water Mona had just filled from the tap drenched them both, startling them awake. They quickly opened their eyes but instinctively shut them again as they turned their faces away to dodge the water.

However, it was useless; the downpour was far heavier than the rain from the previous night. Mona looked down at the two of them, her gaze piercing; her eyes gleaming with a subtle joy and a sense of revenge; she thought, 'How bold of you to pretend to be Maxwell!' "Mona Clem, are you out of your mind? Get out!" The imposter's voice was icy cold; he hated being disturbed during his sleep more than anything. Mona knew well the consequences of waking the imposter like this. She stared at him and calmly asked, "Are you enjoying this identity as Maxwell Carter?" However, when those words reached him, tseemed to stand still momentarily. Panic set in as he thought, 'Does Mona Clem know something? No, she shouldn't!' He had seen Maxwell lying unconscious in the ward, and they looked exactly alike, with no differences at all. "Y-You must be joking!" The imposter forced himself to stay calm, but the stutter betrayed his current state of mind.

Mona smiled. The warm sunlight from outside hit her face just right, shining brightly into his eyes. "Joking? Really? But I saw another Maxwell Carter. So tell me, are you the real one or an imposter?" Her voice was sweet, but her words caused him and the beauty to frown.

"Are you still here? Do you wantto have my bodyguards to throw you out?" Mona said coldly to the woman on the bed. This room had been tarnished, and she had no longer desired to stay here.

The woman jolted at her words, quickly scrambling to leave without a returned glance. She had thought she had struck it rich by getting close to Maxwell, enjoying his generosity and the money he had given her these past few days, only to realize he was an imposter. At this moment, the room contained only them and Haley, who blocked the door to prevent him from leaving. Haley was astonished; it turned out that the one who had caused Mona so much pain these past few days was an imposter.

Mona walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and said, "You have five minutes to get yourself together." After speaking, she gazed at the trees, the path, and the villa, wondering where Maxwell was.

She had already WhatsApped Nigel to inquire about the villa community and see if there were any new residents. She was worried about Maxwell's safety. She didn't know who had secretly replaced Maxwell, but Gordon's actions over the past few days made Mona suspect that he was the mastermind behind it all.

She thought, "How could someone be so wicked?' Nothing less than the lowest depths of despair could satisfy her anger.

The imposter, lying on the bed, momentarily stunned, contemplated Mona's earlier words. He couldn't discern their truth, but glancing at Haley blocking the door, an instinctual feeling arose within him-Mona was likely telling the truth.

Without another thought, he quickly got out of bed and freshened up. When he emerged again, he found Mona sitting on the sofa, her expression distant and lost in thought.

1/2 18:07 Tue, Chapter 338 "Where is Maxwell Carter Mona asked directly, her voice steady but laced with urgency. It was the answer she wanted more than anything.

"Mona Clem, what are you talking about? You toldthat I am Maxwell Carter!" He pretended to be calm, but his fidgeting hands betrayed his fear. He hadn't fully settled into the identity of Maxwell, nor had he completed the tasks assigned to him. He needed Mona to despise Maxwell completely.

Mona, observing him, caught onto his little gestures and chuckled. "If I weren't sure you weren't Maxwell Carter, I wouldn't have clooking for you. It is your last chance. If you don't speak up, I won't hold back. Haley!" "I'm here, Mona!" Haley responded as she approached the door. A group of bodyguards trailed behind her, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.

At that moment, Nigel quickly squeezed in, exclaiming, "Mrs. Carter, I've got the fingerprint report! Here, take a look." He handed the report to Mona, avoiding her gaze, eager to pass it on. Mona's hands trembled as she accepted it.

The imposter before her trembled at mentioning the fingerprint report, realizing that Mona had suspected him for quite stime. With tears in her eyes, she looked at the report in her hands and couldn't help but smile, thinking, "I knew it This person is an imposter; he isn't my husband. It's true!' Mona threw the report at him and declared, "Take a look for yourself-are you Maxwell Carter?" Of course, he knew he wasn't Maxwell; he was just someone who resembled him. Many had undergone aesthetic surgery to look like Maxwell; he was the most successful replica.

That was how he ended up replacing Maxwell when he returned from Welintern. "It seems Mr. Carter has suspectedfor quite stime. I'm not Mr. Carter, and I do not know where he is. I'm just following orders," he admitted.

"Following orders, from whom? Monam Gordon Carter, perhaps?" Mona asked coldly. She didn't doubt what N.

he had said; after all, she knew that Gordon would not reveal to him where Maxwell was being held.

"I don't know; I've never met him," he said. Mona looked at him and m realized she couldn't extract any useful information. She had Haley lock him in the room and stationed guards at the door to prevent him from sneaking out. . Then, she went to the living room with Nigel. "Mrs. Carter, I'm sorry," Nigel said apologetically. "The information we brought back from Welintern was false; my subordinates failed to verify it." "It's not a big deal; what matters is that we know now. Our top priority is to find Maxwell," Mona replied.
