The Queen's Back

Chapter 134

Maxwell looked at Luke. He did not want something to happen to Bernard just like that, or Mona would be very sad, and his heart would ache. He also respected Bernard very much. Bernard was his elder.

On the other side, after Mona told Jane and Albert about Bernard, the two of them agreed without hesitation.

After all, Bernard was lying on the hospital bed now. He woke up less and less. The entire family was worried sick, especially Jane. She looked like she had aged a few years.

That night, Mona and the others took Bernard on a private plane to Horieta, including Jeremy.

Ever since Mona found out that Bernard was pois. 2

she started to avoid Jeremy and did not let him get close to Bernard. She was afraid that Bernard's condition would worsen, but Bernard was still unconscious. She had to be wary and could not let Bernard be hurt again. When the plane arrived in Horieta, it was already late at night. Everyone rushed to the hospital and settled Bernard down. They stayed in the ward for a few hours.

At dawn, Luke did another checkup on Bernard. The team studied it together and came to the conclusion that Bernard was really poisoned. This poison would slowly spread from his blood to his internal organs and eventually kill him. When Jane received the news, she almost fainted. Fortunately, Mona was by her side supporting her.

"Is there a cure for this poison?" Jane asked worriedly. Bernard ate at home three times a day. It was almost the same as what she ate. 'How could Bernard be poisoned while I am not? Could it be that this poison was not eaten?'

"Not yet, but our team is already working on it. Recently, the patient will fall into a coma, like a vegetable. Please be mentally prepared," Luke said. This poison was far more troublesome than he had imagined.

"Then I'll leave it to you!" This was said by Mona. Jane had already fallen into Mona's arms and was crying sadly.

Seeing her grandmother like this, Mona had to pull herself together.

Days of treatment passed just like that. Bernard had completely fainted. However, his face looked a little better. This was a good sign.

For the past few days, Jane found that Jeremy had been answering phone calls. Only then did she remember that it was time to go to work. There were a lot of people in the company waiting to do as he instructed. Thinking that she was in the hospital and there were also nurses, and Jeremy had nothing to do here, Jane let Jeremy go home first."

Jeremy hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing. He returned to Nathontown the next day.

After Jeremy left, Mona vaguely felt that something was wrong. If it was really Jeremy who drugged Grandpa, what's his motive?' After thinking for a moment, she knew that Jeremy's goal was the Clem Group.

However, in this situation, Bernard was lying on the hospital bed, and Jane was crying all day. Mona could not tell them

about this.

Moreover, this was her guess. There was no evidence, so she didn't want them to worry for nothing.

At night, Mona and Maxwell returned to their hotel. Mona hesitated for a moment before telling Maxwell what she was thinking.

"Mona, you're saying that Jeremy poisoned Grandpa so that he could obtain the Clem Group?" Maxwell asked.

After getting married to Mona, he felt that the Clem family's relationship was just like their family's. It was a little complicated, but now it seemed that it was even more complicated than he had imagined. 08.22

Mona nodded. "Yes. Although most of the Clem Group's shares are in Grandpa's hands now, Grandpa is in a coma. As long as Jeremy wants to, he can completely join forces with the other directors to empty my grandfather's position as the chairman and become the chairman himself."

Perhaps in her previous life, Mona was still with Teddy at this time. Barbara thought that she could get shares from Mona, so she did not hurt Bernard.

In this life, Mona had separated from Teddy a long time ago, and Barbara and her mother were chased out of the Clem family. They had no choice but to think of this method.

"Then what do you want to do, Mona? Are you going back home now?" Maxwell asked. He had the shares that Mona had given her, but it was not much. Those directors would not agree to let him be the chairman. Moreover, he had never thought of becoming the chairman of the Clem Group.

"No, with my grandparents' situation, I can't go back yet. You go back. You have the shares I gave you. You can take actions in the Clem Group. Get Nigel to keep an eye on them. Also, get someone to keep an eye on the other shareholders. As long as Jeremy wants to be the chairman, he will hold a shareholders' meeting. You can tell me then," Mona said.

She did not trust many people around her, and she had just entered the Clem Group not long ago. She did not know much about the management of the Clem Group, so she could only place her hopes on Maxwell.

Maxwell held Mona's hand tightly and placed it in his palm. He said reluctantly, "Mona, if I go back, I'll have to part with you."

It wasn't easy for him to be with Mona. He hadn't had a good time yet, and they were about to be separated. He was very reluctant.

"Yes, we'll be separated for a while. I'll go back after Grandpa's condition stabilizes. Besides, you have to manage the Carter Group and can't keep accompanying me overseas. I don't know when Albert will return to the army. What if he suddenly leaves? I can't leave Grandpa and Grandma here." Mona leaned her head on Maxwell's shoulder.

Before the wedding, she had been separated from Maxwell for a few days, and she was not used to it. Now they needed to be separated for so many days, and she was very reluctant. However, there was nothing she could do about it.

Maxwell placed his large hand on Mona's head and ran his fingers through her hair. He lowered his head and gently planted å kiss on Mona's forehead, saying in a low voice, "Alright, I'll go back. I'll come and see you as soon as I have time."

He knew that Mona wanted the Clem Group. 'Since she wants it, what reason do I have not to keep it for her?*

"Okay, then when are you leaving? I don't think I can bear to part with you," Mona whispered.

At the thought that she was about to be separated from Maxwell, she felt a faint sense of loss.

"You just can't bear to part with me. I'll go back in two days." Maxwell lifted Mona onto his lap and let her sit on his lap.

The

ment she was lifted up, Mona subconsciously hugged Maxwell's neck and buried her head in his neck. "Okay, I... I admit that I just can't bear to part with you. I hope Grandpa's illness will be

soon! That way, we can live together

again." Mona's breath sprayed on Maxwell's neck, bringing about a numbing feeling. Maxwell lowered his head and kissed Mona's face.
