The Queen's Back

Chapter 343 Maxwell was terrified of the chaos the imposter could cause and the way he might slowly break Mona's heart. He feared that she would be hurt, sad, and unhappy. Above all, he dreaded the thought of Mona not loving him anymore, leaving him alone.

He was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at night, drifting off to Mona's promise each evening. She had said, "Maxwell, I will love you for the rest of my life. The love you lack, I will give you I will continue to love you even after I die, and I will always be your wife." Maxwell had barely fallen asleep before memories of the videos, where the imposter spoke to Mona, crept back into his mind, causing him to stir awake.

But tonight was different; Mona was nestled in his arms. After such a long time, he could finally enjoy a restful sleep. Though the night was brief, it was filled with tranquility..

Perhaps both of them had something on their minds, but just as dawn broke, Mona was awake. She felt relief seeing Maxwell's arm wrapped around her, recalling that they had rescued him the day before. She looked up, her gaze met Maxwell's, and she lazily greeted him, "Good morning, Maxwell!* "Good morning! Why did you wake up so early today?" Maxwell asked, gently running his fingers through Mona's hair.

"Because I wanted to see you as soon as possible, but I couldn't sleep anymore," Mona said with a playful smile, snuggling closer to Maxwell.

With Maxwell by her side, Mona felt truly blessed. Waking up to see him first thing in the morning made her believe her excellent mood would last all day. Upon hearing her words, a smile lingered on Maxwell's lips, and he wished they could stay together like this forever and ever.

After they finished getting ready, Mona expected that she and Maxwell had woken up early enough. However, as soon as they went downstairs, she was taken aback. Quite a few people were sitting on the sofa, and Albert, in particular, was craning his neck to look in her direction.

"I told you my sister would wake up early today; I'm always right about this," Albert said with a grin to Haley.

Haley thought Mona would sleep in today, and she was all set to go for a run. It seemed Haley had misjudged. If Mona knew what Haley was thinking, Mona would say she wanted to sleep in, too, but she couldn't help it; Mona missed Maxwell too much, and before she knew it, she was awake.

Thinking about how Maxwell hadn't been to the company for many days, she realized he would need to return. She didn't want to be halone, so she figured she might as well get up and go with him.

"What shall we do about that imposter upstairs?" Albert asked curiously as soon as he sat down.

"Disfigure him and send him to Gordon Carter!" Maxwell said casually, taking a sip of the coffee the servant had just brought in. His tone was unhurried.

Maxwell wasn't an easy person to deal with in the first place. Spending twith Mona made him more compassionate and kind, but that didn't mean he would let others take advantage of him.

Especially since that imposter looked exactly like him, hatred simmered in his heart. He would not allow someone with his face to deceive others similarly.

"Okay, what my brother-in-law says makes sense," Albert replied Mona also agreed, thinking that only one face belonged to Maxwell. The imposter in the room looked almost identical to him, even more so than twins. Nobody would suspect a thing if he went out pretending to be Maxwell while he swindled others. Chapter 343- Nigel quickly received Maxwell's orders and hurried with his men to take the imposter away. Before Nigel left, Maxwell coldly said, "Tell Gordon Carter that I, Maxwell Carter, will remember this." "Understood, Mr. Carter!" After saying that, Nigel quickly left the villa.

Albert was curious about what had happened, so he kept asking Mona questions. She patiently answered each one, sharing the details of the ordeal.

Since Richard passed away, Gordon returned to the Carter family home. As he leisurely ate breakfast, he plotted ways to manipulate the imposter into doing his bidding. His schemes included gradually undermining the Clem Group and subjecting Mona to domestic abuse, hoping to instill fear in her He also envisioned keeping multiple lovers, ideally flaunting them in front of Mona to torment her further. As he contemplated his plans, a smirk crept onto his lips, revealing a shadow of malice. He turned his thoughts to Mona, reminding himself that he had all the tin the world.

Throughout his life, he had always obtained anything he desired, whether possessions or people. As he revealed his thoughts, Nigel barged in with the imposter, whose face was disfigured, contorting in pain.

Upon entering, Nigel forcefully shoved the imposter forward, causing him to collapse at Gordon's feet, the blood staining Gordon's trousers. The imposter had never seen the mastermind behind him; they had only communicated through phone calls.

Even though he didn't know what the mastermind looked like, he now understood that Gordon was the mastermind. As he recalled the knife in Nigel's hand, he felt a chill of terror. The brutal slashes across his face made him feel as if he were on the brink of death, filling him with dread towards Nigel.

He thought he was close to death, but now he felt a glimmer of hope for survival.

"Y-You have to help me! I did everything you asked and altered my appearance to resemble Mr. Carter.

Now that everything has gone wrong, you can't abandon me!" Gripping Gordon's thigh tightly, he clung to him like a lifeline, desperation written, all over his face. Gordon looked down at the bloodied face of the imposter, and everything becclear. Maxwell had returned, and the imposter was being dealt with, having undergone a brutal transformation. Disgust filled Gordon; he had no use for such a worthless failure. Gordon kicked the man to the ground, and the imposter trembled in pain, his teeth chattering. "You can't do this to me! You promised you'd givea lot of money after this!" Gordon ignored his pleas and turned to Nigel, struggling to contain his anger. "Nigel, what does this mean?" Nigel spoke flatly, "Mr. Gordon, don't you know what this means? Mr. Carter has made it clear that he remembers this incident." He left the room after glancing at the injured imposter on the ground.

In Nigel's view, Maxwell's handling of the imposter was entirely merciful; after all, this man had impersonated him. He wondered why Maxwell even spared his life. However, it was Maxwell's orders, and Nigel could only follow them.

After Nigel and the others left, Gordon looked at the person on the floor, gripping the fork tightly enough that the veins on his hand stood out. "Maxwell Carter, well done. You managed to escape; it seems l'ye underestimated your strength."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Gordon forcefully overturned the dining table, startling Donard, who had just cdownstairs. The two locked eyes and Gordon glanced at the person on the floor, saying, "Just a small issue; I'll handle it right away."

After that, several people quickly cover to carry away the imposter, covering his mouth to m prevent him from saying anything he shouldn't. Meanwhile, another servant arrived to clean up the bloodstains on the floor. Once everything was restored to its original state, Gordon helped Donald sit at the dining table.
