The Queen's Back

Many people came to the gathering one after another. Mona kept watching the people coming and going, but she did not

see Danielle.

Seeing someone was already going up the stage to speak, Mona still did not see the person she wanted to see.

A faint worry crept into her heart. She had long heard that Danielle had lived in a peaceful, scenic place. She wondered whether Danielle really came to such a bustling place to attend a so-called private gathering.

If she couldn't meet Danielle today, then this trip to Yosnrosilanal with Maxwell would have been in vain. Meanwhile, the online plagiarism scandal was still trending, and it was even starting to impact the company's stock price. She was worried that the plagiarism issue would escalate further, potentially impacting the company's operations, as well as her reputation.

"Don't worry, Mona," Maxwell said, noticing the worry on her face. "If we don't meet the person we're looking for this time, we'll go elsewhere to find her. We'll see her eventually." He held her hand a bit tighterPublished by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Mona nodded slightly. "But I still hope Danielle will show up!"

Just as Mona finished speaking, she saw an old woman being supported inside.

From a distance, the woman captured the attention of those around her. In a dark-colored dress, with gently curled white hair and a jade bracelet on her wrist, her face was lined with wrinkles, but they couldn't hide her noble aura Mona's gaze met Danielle's, and she was surprised to see Danielle smiling at her. Mona stood there in shock for a moment before instinctively smiling back.

As she watched the woman walk toward her, Mona felt a surge of excitement. She tightly grasped Maxwell's hand as if asking him what was happening.

"Emmie, is that you back?" At that moment, Danielle took hold of Mona's other hand.

Mona looked into the old woman's tearful eyes, and she was suddenly at a loss for what was happening.

Upon hearing someone call out "Emmie", Mona instinctively remembered her mother, Emily.

"Grandma, Emmie is no longer here. The person you see before you is still a young girl"

e young girl in front of her looked quite similar to Emily, yet she was not the same person.

Danielle looked at Mona. The young Emily was no longer in this world.

ars now."

"Yes, it's been many years now."

Mona noticed a hint of regret in the old woman's eyes. She said, "Hello, Danielle. I'm Mona Clem, and I really admire your designs. The wedding dress I wore when I got married was designed by you."

Maxwell had purchased the wedding dress at a high price, unaware of who Danielle was. He simply knew that the dress was beautiful and many girls adored it, so it made sense that Mona would likely love it as well.

"Hello, I'm Danielle Reed. Mona, what is your relationship with Emily Clem?" Danielle asked. Both shared the last name Clem, and Mona looked just like Emily did when she was young "Emily Clem is my mom," Mona said honestly, After a moment, he added, "She has passed away Upon hearing this, Danielle's eyes glistened with tears as she looked at Mona with a touch of pity.

"No wonder, you're mother and daughter! It makes sense that you look so much alike. You're both beautiful, Danielle said." know your mom passed away in a car accident. The news even reached Yosneosiland. I had wanted to see her one last time. but my health has declined with age. She said with a touch of regret, holding onto Mona's hand without letting go.

"Danielle, may I ask what your relationship with my mom is?" Mona asked curiously.

She never expected that her mom had known Danielle. In her memory, her mother loved gardening and occasionally designed clothes for her, but she had no idea that Emily had even been to Yosneosiland.

"I'm so excited to see you that I haven't mentioned my relationship with Emmie yet. I'm her teacher. The person next to me is Emily's senior, and also my son, Jesse, Danielle said with a smile.

Ever since she learned that Mona was Emily's daughter, the smile on her lips has never faded.

It turned out that the figure she saw in the mall today was Mona, someone related to Emily.

While speaking. Danielle's brother, Jasper, walked over. Seeing Mona in front of Danielle, he was taken aback. He was surprised that there could be someone who looked so much like Emily in this work. "Danielle, who is this?" Jasper asked.

"She's Emmie's daughter. How do you handle things? Emmie has a daughter, and I didn't even know about it," Danielle said.

"It's all because of my subordinates' incompetence. I just found out that Emmie has a daughter. Jasper was not angry at Danielle's complaint.

After all, in their family, Danielle was the successful one, and she treated him well too.

He knew that Emily had a daughter and a son. It was just that Danielle had been living in seclusion. He didn't want Danielle to worry, so he had never mentioned it.

Over the years, he hadn't thought about Emily's daughter, but unexpectedly, she came looking for Danielle herself

In the early years, Danielle's parents really wanted a son, which was why they gave her a boy's name. But, eventually, they had a son and named him Jasper.

Jasper was adored by everyone from the moment he was born. Later, as Danielle gradually gained fame in the design industry, their parents' last wish was for Danielle to take good care of Jasper. Danielle had continued to fulfill that promise to this day.

"Alright, I've shown up as you wanted. The rest is up to you. I'm taking Mona upstairs to chat, Danielle said as she pulled Mona into the villa.

Mona had been wondering how to strike up a conversation with Danielle, but now she was being pulled forward without al chance to say anything. This was something Mona couldn't have imagined before.

She owed all of this to her mother, the person who had loved her since she was little

With this emotional foundation, Mona felt that talking to Danielle would be much easier.

As Danielle led the way, Mona instinctively grabbed Maxwell's hand and smiled at him, thinking that he shouldn't get lost in this foreign land.

In her heart, her husband was especially important.

"Mona, is the man next to you your husband? He's really handsome! You're married, and I didn't even get to go to your Chapter 223

wedding, Danielle sald, looking at Maxwell with a hint of regret

She had seen Emily in a wedding dress, but to her, Emily's husband, Jeremy, didn't seem like someone she could trust for life.

Mona and this man were extremely good-looking, so their future children would definitely be beautiful as well.

Thinking about this, Danielle felt she could live another ten years to see Mona's children grow up.
