The Queen's Back

Maxwell knew that Barbara had slept with Teddy, and he also understood that the reason Mona initially agreed to marry him was to get back at the two of them. So when Mona said Barlara was unhappy, he found it understandable that she felt pleased. However, now that Mona had already expressed her feelings for him, he didn't want her to get mixed up with those people anymore, especially Teddy, "Maxwell, you don't need to give me money. I have enough of my own," Mona said, noticing his gesture. When they got married, she had mentioned transferring her shares in the Clem Group to him.

At first, when she offered, Maxwell said it didn't matter where the shares went once they were married. With everything that had happened recently, she hadn't thought of it until now, and she felt awkward about accepting his bank card.

"I know you have enough money, but this is just a small token from me. Besides, isn't it customary for a married couple to combine their finances? This is a salary card, and I have a few others at home. I'll bring them to you later, but don't forget to me some pocket money each month, Maxwell said as he slipped the bank card into Mona's bag.

"Alright, if we're married, I'll hold onto this card for you. You can keep the others. It'll be easier for you to spend when you're out," Mona replied with a smile. She was satisfied that Maxwell wis willing to entrust her with his salary card. She wasn't unreasonable. As long as Maxwell wasn't fooling around, it didn't matter whose hands the family finances were in.

Moreover, she completely trusted Maxwell and had no doubts about him.

In her previous life, after she passed away, she had always awakened beside Maxwell and had never seen another woman around him

In this life, she had tried to seduce Maxwell, and although he hadn't responded, she could feel his breath quicken when he kissed her. So she still didn't know how he truly felt.

However, she had come to terms with it. If he was capable, they would have a child. If not, they could adopt a child. Given the advancements in medical technology, perhaps there was even a chance of a cure.

Regardless, as long as Maxwell's heart belonged to her, that was enough.

"Alright then, let's plan our wedding this year. I want everyone to know we're married," Maxwell said, a little nervously.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

He was worried that Mona only had a slight affection for him and that it might not reach the point of wanting to have a wedding and children together.

Mona readily agreed to the wedding plans. In fact, she had intended to have a wedding ceremony from the moment they got their marriage license. Her grandmother had suggested it, especially since a marriage between their families was a significant event in Nathontown. Moreover, she wanted Maxwell to genuinely love her. Now that her goal had been achieved, she nodded enthusiastically.

Perhaps because she had accepted Maxwell's bank card, that night she made a mental note to contact a lawyer the next day to transfer her shares in the Clem Group to him.

The next day, as she went to the office, she kept thinking about this. In the afternoon, she asked Maxwell to wait for her at the coffee shop next to the Clem Group, telling him she had a surprise for him and contacted the lawyer they usually worked with

When Mona arrived at the coffee shop, Edison Davidson hadn't yet arrived. After waiting a bit at the entrance, Mona saw Edison approaching hurriedly. Upon spotting her, he immediately urged, "Ms. Clem, are you really going to transfer your shares in the Clem Group to someone else? This was left to you by your mother. Do your grandparents know? Do they

agree?"

Edison fired off questions as he hadn't even parked his car properly. When he received Mona's call, his first thought was that she had been deceived. The shares in the Clem Group were incredibly valuable. Even one percent in Nathontown meant wealth, and Mona held ten percent. That would put her in a very comfortable position.

Mona understood that Edison had watched her grow up and was entrusted with many matters of the Clem family, so she appreciated his concern.

"Edison, don't worry. I'm an adult and not naive. I fully understand the value of my shares in the Clem Group. My mother told me that once the shares were in my hands, they were mine to manage freely. Besides, the person I'm transferring them to is my husband," she said with a smile, particularly brightening at the mention of her husband.

This was the first time she had called Maxwell that in front of someone else. She hadn't even said it to him yet.

Surprisingly, it felt very natural, without any awkwardness.

"Wait, your husband? Are you married? But Teddy. No, weren't you engaged to the president of the Carter family? Who did you marry then!" Edison asked, shocked. At that moment, he didn't even know Mona had gotten married, let alone to whom

"My husband is Maxwell. I've already registered our marriage, and we're planning to have a wedding this year. You must come to our wedding," Mona said cheerfully as she began to walk into the coffee shop.

She had been off work for a while and was worried that Maxwell might be waiting too long inside.

Just as she was about to open the door, Edison pulled her back urgently, saying, "Ms. Clem, you just registered your marriage with Mr. Carter. How can you transfer your shares to him? Have you considered that Mr. Carter might have married you for your shares? If that's the case, you'd be betraying your mother."

"Edison, you have to trust my judgment and Maxwell's attitude toward me. He's never brought up my shares, and he even willingly gave me his bank card and other things. I'm grown up now and won't regret my decisions. Even my grandparents support me. Besides, he has plenty of assets himself. Even if he used this money to buy my shares. I'd be making a profit," Mona explained

After hearing this, Edison felt significantly relieved. Their finances were essentially a couple's affair, so he didn't need to worry so much.

He followed Mona into the coffee shop.

Once inside, she spotted Maxwell sitting by the window. He looked handsome, and she could always notice him. immediately in a crawd
