After lunch, Maxwell looked at Barbara, who was eagerly putting food onto Jane and Bernard's plates.

He suddenly blurted. "I heard that you got first place in the Noren Design Competition, Barbara. As you brother-in-law, it's reful of me to not anything to give you as a gift.

Maxwell paused and said, "Why don't you work as the design manager at one of our branches? Take it as a promotion. What do you think, Bernard? I think with Barbara's ability, she's completely qualified for this position." With such an arrangement, Mona didn't have to fake sisterly love with Barbara at the company every day.

"Superb! This is a wonderful suggestion. I wanted to reward Barbara, and now Maxwell has come up with this great idea for me. This is good!" Bernard agreed with Maxwell's proposal fully,

"But Grandpa, I- Barbara spoke anxiously.

She didn't want to be a design manager at a branch. She wanted to be in the same department as Mona and be better than Mona in every aspect.

Before Barbara could finish, she was interrupted by Bernard. "Well, Barbara, Maxwell's suggestion is perfect. You can start on Monday. Anyway, the branch office is closer to where you live. Ill be more convenient for you too." "But Grandpa, I-

"Barbara, the promotion has been happily decided, but don't get too excited. After saying that, Bernard stood up, pulled Jane by the hand, and walked out with a smile.

At the dining table, Maxwell rubbed his thumb on the back of Mona's hand, hinting that he wanted a reward for doing her a

favor.

Mona smiled and pulled Maxwell into the room.

Barbara's transfer and promotion were good news for Mona.

Barbara was left sitting alorie at the dining table, looking at the leftover food on the table.

She thumped the table. She wasn't stupid. She knew that Maxwell and Mona didn't want to see her in the company, so they moved her out of the company in the name of promotion. 'Mona, you were the one who let me down first. Don't blame me for embarrassing you even more. Narrowing her eyes viciously, Barbara got her phone and contacted Molly. [Mona plagiarized. If she doesn't admit it and apologize, she'll be condemned by the public.]

Barbara's plan was completely unknown to Mona and Maxwell. As soon as the two lovebirds got to the room, Mona pulled Maxwell onto the white sofa and snuggled in his arms. "Honey, I just did you a favor. Give me a kiss," Maxwell said.

"Okay." As soon as Mona finished speaking, she raised her head and her soft lips landed a kiss on Maxwell's chin.

Then, she looked at Maxwell with her bright eyes and asked, "Will this do?"

"Yes, this is a really good reward." Maxwell then paused for a moment and said, "Honey, I've booked a flight to Yosneosiland tomorrow morning. Let's talk to Danielle and clear things up. Later in the afternoon, consolidate some of your design concepts and your color testing processes. Once Danielle believes you, the public opinion online will naturally change

"What if Danielle doesn't believe me? Moreover, Molly said that she was Danielle's apprentice. Between me and Molly, she

would trust her more."

That was what Mona was worried about. She could only blame Herself for not having any evidence. She didn't know how. Molly copied her design

"Mona, whether she believes it or not, let's give it a try. We won't regret it since we've already tried our best." Maxwell's thumb stroked Mona's cheek again and again.

"Yes, you're right. Let's go to Yosneosiland, Mona said.

As Maxwell would be going to Yosneosiland in the afternoon with Mona to look for Danielle, he went to the company first and made work arrangements for the staff for the next few days

Meanwhile, Mona, accompanied by Haley, went to The Designscape to find the records of her gown design process. She would bring them to Yosneosiland tomorrow.

Mona knew that even if she posted the entire process of her color testing online, netizens, who didn't know the truth, would continue to defame her, saying something like she had gone to great lengths to conceal her crime. So, she thought it'd be better not to post them. After Haley drove Mona to The Designscape, Mona turned around and said to Haley, "Haley, just wait for me here. Save the hassle of turning around. It's quite troublesome. I'm just going in to get something real quick."

Haley looked at the building in front of her. There was no one around, and it was highly unlikely that someone would come out of nowhere to hurt Mona. She nodded at Mona. T'll wait for you here then.

After getting out of the car, Mona walked straight to The Designscape, with a black mask on and holding a bag in her hand At this hour, there was no one around. It was exceptionally quiet!

However, just as Mona was about to reach the entrance, a few girls wearing masks suddenly appeared from the bushes beside the entrance. Without a word, the girls raised their bags and threw them at Mona.

Mona was caught off guard. She didn't expect these demure-looking girls to be so reckless. They had the guts to hit someone in broad daylight Mona was no match for them. When the bags hit her, she subconsciously squatted down and hugged her head with both hands. "Bitch, how dare you plagiarize? We're going to teach you a lesson now!"

These people cursed as they hit Mona.

"If you don't have the talent, accept defeat. How could you plagiarize and embarrass Nathontown?"

"You're also the heiress of the Clem family. Your two old folks at home must've spoiled your too much. Today, we shall teach you a lesson!"

"If you still want your dignity, apologize to Molly publicly and quit the design industry. Otherwise, we'll beat you up every time we see you in the future."

Mona frowned slightly and thought, What's wrong with these people? They are crazy. I've already said that I didn't plagiarize. What is there for me to apologize?"

The girls smashed Mona with their bags, but they were still not appeased. That was when they started kicking.

Wed, Nov

Someone kicked Mona in the side of her waist and Mona immediately curled and twitched in pain. She was about to burst

into tears.

Regardless of who hit her, she picked up her phone and bag and threw those items at them. Then, she picked up beside her and aimed it at them. "Try hitting me again if you dare," she said angrily. the brick

It was either the few of them were cursing too loudly or Mona's wail attracted Haley's attention. Haley, who was sitting in the car, got out and walked over to the entrance.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

She saw Mona pointing a brick at the girls, her hair was in a mess, her eyes were filled with tears, and her entire body was shaking like a leat. Haley immediately dashed over.

She grabbed Mona's arm which was grabbing the brick. "Mona, are you

alright?"

If she had known earlier, she would have gone in with her. That way, Mona wouldn't have been injured.

When Mona heard Haley's voice, the fear in her heart dissipated a little. She said to Haley, "Call the police! All of you who hit me will be charged."
