Chapter 153

encaking of this, Elara was furious. A few days ago, she saw a pot on Twitter, on which many people said that Maxwell and Mona were connected by marriage. Elara had passionately defended their relationship, refuting such claims, but she found herself in a heated

debate with the naysayers. Despite her efforts she realized that her voice was a drop in the ocean.

Elara went to work with Mona every day. She still remembered when Mona went missing, Maxwell's back looked so sad and lonely. Elara had also borne witness to the tender moment on their wedding day when Maxwell and Mona looked at each other with love. Mona revealed a faint smile. That's for sure. I'll definitely be Maxwell's wife until the end of my my life"

When she said this, Mona was especially confident. When she and Maxwell registered their marriage, she did not think of getting a divorce. She also knew that Maxwell would not want to divorce her. It could be seen from the fact that Mixwell had placed all of his assets under her care for safekeeping.

At night, the Design Department organized a celebration to welcome Mona back and to honor their achievements at the Design Competition of Nathontown.

Therefore, Mona was undoubtedly the guest of honor at this gathering, and her presence was not just expected but essential After all, social engagements are an integral part of one's life

Maxwell would have to eat dinner alone. Initially, Mona had considered inviting him to join the gathering, but she hesitated. She wondered if her colleagues would feel constrained and unable to fully enjoy themselves with the company's leader at the belm

If Maxwell came with her, her colleagues would have to toast to Mr. Carter all the time. Also, Barbara would participate in the gathering. She was also the main character as she too has earned enough attention with her second-place finish in the Design Competition of Nathontown

Leander had booked the gathering at a restaurant near the company. They could walk there.

Mona did not ask Maxwell to send her there. Instead, she asked Maxwell to go home first.

In the end, she received crying emojis from Maxwell. Mona felt that Maxwell was a little pitiful, and seemed to be a poor abandoned husband. She immediately felt that she was a little bad and quickly comforted Maxwell [What are you crying for? You'll see me tonight.] She added a hug emoji.

Maxwell [But time is shorter. I don't care. You have to compensate me

Mona looked at the message from Maxwell and could imagine Maxwell's wronged expression.

Muna: Tell me, how should I compensate you?]

Maxwell: [Can you take the initiative tonight?]

As an adult, Mona naturally understood what Maxwell meant. Her face flushed when Elara called her to set off.

Mona replied: [You hooligan.) Then she left.

Maxwell looked at the message and wondered, 'Am I a hooligan? It seems that I did not work hard enough to satisfy my wife Maxwell. I'll show you how powerful I am tonight] Mona didn't see this message. When she and Elara arrived at the door of the restaurant, they said Leander's name and were led to the private room on the second floor. Mona liked the restaurant's decor, which exuded an air of ancient style.

In the corridor, Moña accidentally saw a person. It was Gordon, walking in front of her. She wondered, 'Why is Gordon here! Why do I see him everywhere I go? 90%

Fortunately, they came to the private room that Leander had reserved after taking a few steps. They walked straight in, and Mona was spared from meeting Gordon in person.

When they entered, most people from the Design Department had already been there, including Leander.

Upon her arrival, Mona was greeted by her colleagues who promptly escorted her to a seat adjacent to Leander. There was a general consensus that, as the main character of the evening. Mona deserved the seat of honor beside him.

The table setting reflected the importance of the occasion, with Barbara already occupying the seat to Leander's left. Mona was guided to the seat on his right. Elara took the seat beside her

Not long after Mona sat down, the rest people of the Design Department arrived one after another.

Just like that, Mona didn't see the last WhatsApp message that Maxwell sent her.

"Alright, since everyone is here, let me say a few words. It's the new year. We have to complete our work seriously and improve our design ability. Also, there's the current big matter of the Design Department. As everyone knows, Mona and Barbara will be representing Nathontown in the next competition. The venue of the competition has yet to be decided. When there's concrete news, I'll definitely inform you immediately. Everyone, try your best to cooperate with their work. That's all. Now, everyone, feel free to enjoy yourself, Leander said. After saying that, deafening applause sounded for a long time.

After the gathering began, Mona quietly ate the food in front of her. Someone came to toast Mona, but they were all tactfully rejected by Elara beside her.

When everyone saw that Mona did not drink, they felt that it was nothing and turned to flatter Barbara.

Mona was finally free. She took out her cell phone and took a look. When she saw Maxwell's WhatsApp message, she didn't understand what she meant at first. When she saw what she had sent, she realized what Maxwell was talking about. She immediately blushed and told Elara beside her before going out for some fresh air.

The air in the corridor outside was much fresher. Mona walked towards the restroom and saw a girl walking into the private room in front from afar.

Mona felt that this person's back view was especially familiar. She quickly took out her phone and took a photo. The moment she pressed the shutter, the person turned slightly, revealing her profile as she entered the private room.

Mona stood in the corridor, her eyes intently fixed on the photo she had just taken. She enlarged the image to get a clearer was Bud's girlfriend, Chelly Sterling. The features of the person in the view. A moment later, Mona realized that this perso photo matched perfectly with the face she had seen in the image Ava had shown her earlier.

She stared at the figure in the photo in a daze. This was the same silhouette she had caught a glimpse of upon her return to the country. The familiarity she had felt back then made her have an initial thought that it was a celebrity. After all, she heard something about cosmetic surgery.

Just as Mona was concentrating, the door of the private room that Chelly entered suddenly opened. Mona was so frightened that she hurriedly opened the private room behind her and walked in. Fortunately, the private room was empty. Otherwise, she would be in an awkward position

Mona looked out of the peephole and could see the exact situation at the door of the private room. She clearly saw Gordon coming out of that private room. The woman beside him was Chelly. Mona could not remain calm. What does Bud's girlfriend have to do with Cordon? Moreover, they seem to be very close.

After Gordon and Chelly left, Mona quietly opened the door and walked out to double-check. She verified that it was indeed Chelly she had seen-both in the photo and in the embrace of Cordon.

Mona quickly confided in Maxwell about her discovery. She recounted how she uncovered the connection between Bud's girlfriend and Gordon. She asked Maxwell to think of a way to reinind Bud not to be deceived.
