The Queen's Back

Maxwell reached out and hugged Mona, who was crying in his arins. He wiped the tears from the corners of Mona's eyes bit by bit like he was caring for a child. He got very close to her and held her trembling shoulders. He could see that she cared for him despite her frailness.

"Mona, my love for you is innate. Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today. I'll give you all my love for the rest of my life" Maxwell spoke again, but his voice was extremely hoarse.

Mona cried so much that she almost crumbled at his passionate confession. She had always thought that Maxwell liked her since high school. She didn't expect Maxwell to see her as his hope to live. She regretted not knowing Maxwell well enough in high school.

Maxwell slowly pressed his face closer to Mona. The tears on her slightly curled eyelashes wet his eyes.

Mona reached out to hold Maxwell's handsome face and kissed him with her red lips. It was an affectionate kiss.

"Maxwell, I'll love you for the rest of my life. I'll give you the love that you deserve. I want to be your wife in this life, the next life, and the life after."

That morning, Mona and Maxwell boarded a flight to Nathontown.

In the first-class cabin, the passengers around were talking quietly. One of the passengers mentioned the Noretin Design Competition, and it naturally came to the topic of Mona's plagiarism.

That passenger even said that Bernard Clem had two granddaughters, where one of them won the championship, and the other plagiarized, which was really unfortunate for the Clem family.

Mona's smile instantly vanished. Maxwell held her hand and let her lean into his embrace. His hand softly tugged Mona's ear and whispered, "Mona, close your eyes and have a good sleep. We'll be home soon." Mona tilted her head and leaned on Maxwell's shoulder. She nodded and closed her eyes.

She didn't want to listen to what others had to say about the incident.

Mona was really sleepy. Last night, her thoughts were filled with the plagiarism incident, and she couldn't shake it off. It was extremely draining

She fell asleep with her head on Maxwell's shoulder.

Halfway through, she woke up in a daze and saw that Maxwell was also sleeping soundly. Mona stared at his handsome face, and that calmed her beating heart. Her hand that was holding Maxwell tightened a little before she slowly closed her eyes again. With Maxwell by my side, there is nothing I can't get through,' she thought.

The plane landed smoothly at the airport of Nathontown, Maxwell woke Mona up. Looking at her puppy eyes, he dipped his head and kissed Mona on the lips.

At first, Mona was still in a blur. After Maxwell pecked her on the lips, she was completely awake.

She became wide-awake as if someone just poked her in the eyes

"W-What are you doing? There are so many people here," Monasked softly. She was feeling sheepish after the kiss

After the kiss, she picked up the black mask by her side and put on, revealing a pair of puppy eyes that were gleaming like

stars.

"Give me a kiss." Maxwell quietly put on his mask, which was similar to Mona's.

Although neither of them was from the entertainment industry the Noretin Design Competition had just ended and the event was still the talk of the town.

Mona and Maxwell had very distinctive facial features, making them easily recognizable. It was inevitable that they would be recognized by the people at the airport. However, the plagiarism incident was far more viral than what Mona and Maxwell had imagined.

It also gave Mona a taste of what Artemis's daily life was like.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

The plane safely stopped at the airport of Nathontown. Maxwell held Mona's hand and walked out. Nigel and Haley followed behind them together with their luggage. Almost right after the four of them walked out of the airport, someone shouted, "Mona!"

Mona turned her head and met the gazes of many unfamiliar faces. Then, the crowd swarmed toward her..

"Mona is back. Everyone, come. Look at the disgrace of Nathontown, she has returned."

"You copycat! You're not welcomed here at Nathontown."

That's right. How dare you plagiarize the designs of Danielle Dalton's apprentice! I can't believe you can be so unscrupulous for fame and fortune."

Mona, apologize publicly!"

mors were like a gust, forcing its

The noise of the crowd rang in Mona's ears. She wanted to ignore their words, but the rumors way into her ears. No matter how she tried to block them, it didn't work.

Some of the reporters, who were waiting at the airport for other celebrities, saw the situation and immediately pushed their microphone to Mona.

"Ms. Clem, can you tell us the process of your plagiarism in detail?"

Maxwell was holding Mona's hand. Her fingers were pale and her voice was hoarse. A few cameras were directly aimed at Mona's face.

Haley and Nigel tried to block in front of Mona and Maxwell, but they were against too many onlookers. It was hard to block the flashlights.

Haley couldn't hit anyone then. Otherwise, Mona would be accused of hitting reporters.

"No, I didn't plagiarize." Mona took a deep breath and tried her best to remain calm.

"You said that you didn't plagiarize. Then why is your design the same as Miss Sinner's? Do you have any explanation for this?

Maxwell didn't want Mona to be surrounded by so many people. He said coldly, "Move aside."

The reporters ignored Maxwell's words and still pointed their microphones at Mona's face.

Maxwell pulled Mona back, but the reporters wouldn't give up. They squeeze toward Mona resolutely

"Ms. Clem, can you tell us why you copied Miss Sinner's design?

"Ms. Clem, you chose to plagiarize Miss Sinner's designs. Did you really like her designs?"

"Ms. Clem, do you feel guilty about stealing Molly's design?"

One by one, accusations and questions about plagiarism reached Mona's ears. Mona replied in despair, "I didn't plagiarize. I didn't plagiarize. I designed it myself" "Ms. Clem, you said you didn't plagiarize. Do you have any evidence?"

"No, I don't."

"If that's the case, then you've plagiarized. Ms. Clem, why don't you take this opportunity to apologize to Miss Sinner?"

"I said I didn't plagiarize."

After asking over and over again, Mona was on the verge of breaking down.

"Nigel, Haley, stop them." Maxwell pushed the people around him away with his strong arm after he said that.

He wrapped his arm around Mona's shoulder and squeezed their way out of the crowd.

Under the guard of Haley and Nigel, Mona got into the car with Maxwell's arm around her shoulder. She was stupefied.

Sitting in the shotgun seat, Mona was in a daze. Tve already said that I didn't plagiarize. Why do they keep accusing me of plagiarizing?" she thought to herself.

I don't understand what that person meant by I've plagiarized if I can't provide evidence to support the otherwise
