The Queen's Back

Chapter 44 74% "Oh I wouldn't dare to trouble you." Maxwell said in reply to Gordon's offer of hospitality. It was precisely because of Gordon that Maxwell felt uneasy about leaving Mona in the living room with him. He also couldn't stand the way Gordon was ogling Mona with his ** eyes. Mona reassured Maxwell and said, "Don't worry, I can take care of myself. I'll head to the kitchen and see if I can help out with anything." Maxwell then reluctantly released Mona's hand and got up to go to the study.

As soon as Maxwell left, Donald also excused himself. Mona then disregarded Gordon and headed into the kitchen area.

The Carter family had plenty of kitchen staff who obviously didn't need any help, but Mona didn't want to stay in the sroom as Gordon and feel obliged to exchange niceties. It wouldn't seem nice to return directly to her room either, so she had opted to go to the kitchen. Mona helped to prep sof the ingredients, chopping up vegetables and whatnot at a relaxing pace.

It didn't take Gordon long to show up in the kitchen as well, on the grounds that he was hungry.

He saw Mona cutting up tomatoes and when she sampled a piece, he said in a euphemistic way, "Wow, Mona, that tomato looks really tasty in your mouth." Mona sneered and said, "If you want, there are plenty more tomatoes in the refrigerator." She didn't want Gordon to eat the tomatoes that she'd prepared.

"Oh, the ones in the fridge won't taste the sas those in your hands." Gordon replied as he made his way over to her and picked up a tomato next to her hand. Then he whispered to her, "It's been a while since you and Maxwell got your marriage license, you can't still be a virgin, right?" Mona flashed Gordon an angry look. She was getting real tired of this annoying man.

He let out an amused chuckle. "Oh no, are you upset? Don't worry, if you need, I can help you out and f*****K you real nice." He dragged out the last couple of words to emphasize his point.

Mona wasn't one to take things lying down. If not for the fact that she was in the Carter family hand wanted to leave a good impression on Maxwell's family, she would have slapped Gordon square across the face. Instead, Mona smiled contemptuously at him and said, "I'm afraid you're thinking too much. Besides, even if was still a virgin, I wouldn't dare to enlist your help.' She blinked her eyes slowly and deliberately then. Her long eyelashes fluttered downwards as she lowered her eyelids and continued, "After all, I'm afraid you might have skind of sexually transmitted disease." Gordon had been admiring Mona's side profile and cto the sudden realization that she was more beautiful and alluring than Gold any of his exes, but the words she said were full of disdain for him.

Mona stopped paying attention to Gordon after she said her piece, and quickly finished cutting up her tomatoes before leaving the kitchen. Gordon trailed after her.

He caught up with her and started complaining. "Con, Mona, you're my sister-in-law, how could you think I have skind of STD?" Mona snapped back coldly, "Since you're callingyour sister-in-law, don't overstep your boundaries." Tue, Oct 08.16 Chapter 44 She pulled out her phone then and played a recording of their earlier conversation, including Gordon's lewd offer.

14% +5 +3 The blood drained from Gordon's face then and Mona said, "If you continue to talk shit like this, I wouldn't mind sharing this recording with Richard." It was a blatant threat.

"Ugh, I didn't realize you were recording." Gordon replied and left for the second floor, grumbling to himself. Mona let out a soft sigh after that. She was terrified of getting harassed by slimy types like Gordon.

After dinner, Maxwell and Mona went up to the second floor together, hand in hand.

Gordon was still seated on his dining chair, watching the both of them leave. He was determined to have his way with that seductive young woman one day.

After the couple returned to their room, Mona let out the breath she'd been holding. She had been afraid that Gordon might run his mouth off during dinner and ruin Maxwell's mood, and she wasn't even sure if his grandparents knew about Maxwell's impotence. "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable here? We I leave first thing in in the morning." Maxwell said. He wasn't in t in the best mood either. When he had been placed in charge of the Carter Group, Richard had agreed to kick Donald and Gordon out of the company. The both of them did nothing except squander the company's yearly dividends, so it was only right to leave Richard's nas the sole owner. But earlier in the study, Richard had told him he'd changed his mind and wanted to let Gordon back in.

Maxwell had tried to protest, but Richard had shut him down. He didn't want to p***off the old man, so he had no choice but to agree. Maxwell would just have to find another reason to kick Gordon out again when the tcame. Mona replied, "I'm fine, I just don't have a good opinion of your brother. I can't stand him." In fact, the Carters seemed distant from each other, even Richard and Stephanie. It was in stark contrast to her own family. Even if each person in the/ Clem had their differences, they still had a a strong bond.

"You're not wrong. Gordon is not a good guy, so stay away from him as much as possible." Maxwell looked Mona in the eyes and said seriously. Maxwell didn't have an ounce of affection for his brother. When he was brought to the Carter home, Gordon had refused to stop calling him a ba***rd child and even locked him up in the storage room. No one had cto help him no matter how much he screamed. It wasn't until the third day that Richard let him out.

He had his fair share of bullies at school too. Maxwell often found his homework and assignments torn up frequent target of practical jokes. and was and the Maxwell eventually learned that staying passive only brought out the worst in Gordon, so he learned to fight back. When he got bullied, he'd find a way to return the favor tenfold.

That made Gordon start to feel a little afraid of any retaliation he might get, and the bullying becless frequent.

Mona nodded in understanding. Her curiosity about his impotence got the better of her, and she opened her mouth to ask, "Maxwell... Are you really..."

She'd immediately regretted her decision to ask so she let her voice trail off. They had just made sprogress in their relationship, and she didn't want to undo that or make things awkward. It wasn't worth it just to satisfy her curiosity. 08:17 Tue, Oct 22 "Am I what?" Maxwell asked.

Chapter 44 Mona shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I'm going to take a shower." 3 Mona quickly collected herself and scampered off. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stop herself from asking if she stayed any longer.

After her shower, Mona looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her velvet om lips, set against her white teeth, and her big doe eyes and slim waist. The bright red straps of her lingerie made her skin look even fairer than usual. against her white teeth, and

She thought she looked pretty good, and her body was in great shape too. But even though they'd been married for a while, Maxwell had never N expressed himself in that way towards her. Mona decided to test Maxwell out. Even though she knew that he wasn't able to perform in bed, she couldn't really accept it until she'd proven it to herself.

After she finished her skincare routine, she adjusted the straps of her lingerie, pulling it down slightly to show off her s**y collarbone and her ample bosom.
