The Queen's Back

Chapter 58 Elara saw Mona walking out and was immediately afraid she didift know what was happening. Elara hurriedly said, "Mona, Vespera cut the dress we worked so hard onl Elara's tone was filled with anger as she glared at Vespera, unable to believe Vespera would actually destroy their dress.

Mona comfortingly patted Elara on the shoulder and looked at Vespera, asking, "What's the reason?" Vespera met Mona's gaze, feeling a bit scared but managing to appear calm. "There's no reason. I'm willing to accept whatever punishment you choose." Before deciding to do this, she had mentally prepared herself for any consequences.

"It's not about punishment. I just want to know why. What's going on?" Elara shouted the last part.

Vespera had always been the one who treated her the best in the company. In Elara's eyes, Vespera was like her sister. So when it cto helping Mona design the dress, Vespera was the first person who cto Elara's mind. But she couldn't understand why Vespera would ruin the dress they had all worked on together.

There's no reason, I just don't like Mona. Why does she get such an opportunity when she is a green hand? I've worked hard for years without any chance. It's unfair! Is it just because she's the heiress of the Clem family? Since I can't have this opportunity, then nobody should have it." Vespéra looked resentfully at the dress, but there was a hint of regret in her eyes.

After hearing Vespera's words, Elara felt like she didn't know Vespera at all. "Vespera, you've gone too far." "Wasn't the fire incident last talso related to you?" Mona asked, crossing her arms.

Her tone was calm, but the cold light in her eyes and her oppressive aura made Vespera shiver involuntarily. She nodded. Since she had destroyed the dress, there was no going back now. Her task was done.

As soon as Vespera nodded, Mona slapped her on the other cheek. Mona's strength was comparable to Elara's, and in an instant. Vespera had handprints on both cheeks.

"This is what you owe Elara and me," Mona said coldly, looking ar Vespera.

If this had happened before, Elara would have felt heartbroken seeing Vespera treated like this. But now, watching the scene, she felt more anger and wanted to go up and slap Vespera again Without wasting more ton Vespera, Mona directly called the police to handle the situation.

As Vespera was taken away, Mona whispered in her ear, "If you reveal who's been manipulating you, your punishment will be much lighter." Of course, she knew the mastermind wasn't Vespera. If Vespera was willing to be a scapegoat, that was her choice.

Vespera looked at Mona in surprise, as if everything was under her control, including the ruined dress.

But upon further reflection, Vespera realized that if she hadn't fallen asleep in the break room, Mona would have cout to stop her from ruining the dress Vespera didn't say anything as the police led her away, giving Mona one last glance.

After Mona returned inside, she found Elara trying to fix the dress, but it was already cut into several pieces by Vespera. It couldn't be restored. 08:20 Wed, Oct 23 GT.

Chapter 58 76% Looking at Elara, Mona hesitated but then steeled herself, saying "Elara, stop. It's beyond repair. Just go hand get sTest Elara looked up, meeting Mona's gaze, tears welling in her eyes. They had prepared for so long for this dress, only to end up with nothing. "Mona, is there really no way?" Elara asked, refusing to give up.

Mona paused before saying, "Don't worry. We'll face whatever comes our way. It'll be fine. Just go hfor now With a sigh, Elara seemed to accept the reality. "Okay, Mona, don't be sad. Let's treat this as a lesson. We'll definitely succeed next time." broke her heart.

Mona nodded, looking around to make sure no one was watching. Then she leaned closer to Elara and whispered, "Don't be upset. Get a good night's sleep. There will be a surprise tomorrow." Elara looked up and met Mona's gaze, wondering if Mona had splans. Mona nodded in confirmation.

For sreason, after Elara saw Mona nod, the sadness that had just enveloped her faded, replaced by a sense of anticipation.

After Elara left, Maxwell arrived to pick up Mona. Seeing the dress on the floor, he didn't seem too surprised. Instead, he took her hand and silently led her out of The Designscape Barbara was, of course, aware of the situation. Sitting on her sofa, she smiled as she read the messages on her phone. Want to compete with me, you are still too inexperienced, Barbara thought.

Vespera's intentional act of sabotage had already constituted a criminal offense. Although the police hadn't issued an official statement yet, Vespera's actions had gained sattention on social media. [It's shocking! This person's jealousy is off the charts!] And it was Mona who gave her the opportunity. Otherwise, Vespera wouldn't even have had the chance to work on the dress. How ungrateful she is!]

[Mona has had her fair share of bad luck. Her design draft was swapped.

Otherwise, Artemis might have m chosen her design outright. After all the effort she put in to get this opportunity, it's all slipping away now. It's heartbroken that her efforts are in vain.] [Agreed! Mona has really had a string of bad luck. She should pray for sblessings!]

I really hope Artemis can wear the dress designed by Mona. But Yong.

But now it seems like there's no chance.

Artemis will definitely choose Barbara's dress instead.]

Mona casually glanced through the comments, noticing that the situation had garnered quite a bit of attention since it involved the star, Artemis. "Still not asleep?" Maxwell asked, seeing Mona playing on her phone in bed. He climbed in beside her.

Mona set her phone down and smiled at him. "I'm going to sleep now." As soon as she spoke, she placed her phone on the bedside table, and Maxwell turned off the light, leaving only a dim glow in the room.

Mona could hear Maxwell's gentle breathing and quietly said, "Maxwell, thank you for everything this time." "No need to thank me, It's what I should do, Maxwell said.
