The Queen's Back

Chapter 226



Isn't this obvious? Whenever Mr. Carter has free time, he always goes to be with Mona. So, in the quiet of the night, how could he miss this chance?] Mona watched as Elara's message came through

She didn't know what these three were talking about. It's late at night, and they're being so noisy. The worst part was that she couldn't refute any of it. She silently sent a message. (I'm back!]

Ava: [Wow, it's so rare. Did Maxwell release you?]

Elara: [Mona, is Mr. Carter next to you right now?]

If Maxwell saw her message gossiping about his private life, he might get upset and fire her.

After finally getting promoted to a full-time position as a designer, Mona hadn't even considered quitting.

[He isn't here and didn't see your message, so don't worry!]

Elara felt relieved when she saw Mona's message.

Then she remembered the important matter, which was also the reason everyone in the group had been tagging Mona

[Mona, check Twitter! Danielle confirmed the plagiarism issue!]Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Okay, I'll check it now.]

Mona said this as she clicked on the link. She thought the private gathering would end much later, so she didn't expect Danielle to post until tomorrow and hadn't been paying attention to her phone. [Quick, go check!]

The last time Danielle posted on her Twitter account was years ago when she announced her retirement from the design industry

After several years, Danielle resurfaced on Twitter, and within an hour, she was trending at the top of the hot search list. (It's been a long time since I last logged into this account, and I feel a bit excited.]

[Today, I'm here to address the plagiarism issue surrounding the Noretin Design Competition. After reviewing Mona's original designs based on my years of experience, I can confidently say she did not plagiarize. Additionally, I haven't taken on any new apprentices recently. Below are some records of the color choices from Mona's designs. Feel free to take a look!

After that, she tagged Mona and posted a few photos. They were casual shots she'd taken of Mona's design notes and sketches before she left.

After reading it, Mona replied: [Thank you for your trust, Danielle. In the future, I will learn from you and work hard to design more outstanding works. I hope I won't let you down!]

Danielle's post on Twitter made it clear. Mona didn't plagiarize, and the real plagiarist was Molly.

Though Danielle didn't directly call out Molly for plagiarism, he remark, "I haven't taken on any new apprentices recently," made it clear. Molly's claim of being Danielle's last disciple was alie. Now, being publicly denied by Danielle was a blatant slap in the face for her.

Although Danielle had not been active in the public eye for many years, her status in the industry was unshakable. Instantly, the public fully sided with Mona.

II

Someone as talented as her wouldn't plagiarize! To all the haters out there, did you see this? Danielle herself spoke

up for Mona.]

II had my doubts the moment Molly claimed to be Danielle's last disciple. Danielle hasn't taken on students in years, so how could one just appear out of nowhere? Turns out it was all a liel [Danielle has already spoken. Isn't it obvious who plagiarized? Molly, come out and give an explanation

[Now that the situation is clear. The Noretin Design Competition has already concluded, and the first-place winner has been announced. What a loss for Mona!]

[Yeah, if it weren't for Molly, who not only plagiarized Mona's designs but also accused her of plagiarism, Mona could have likely placed in the Noretin Design Competition]

[Danielle stamped Molly's plagiarized work with her personal seal, indicating that the designs were approved by her. That's why it had been easy for Molly to place in the Noretin Design Competition. It's really unfair for Mona.]

For a moment, Twitter was filled with netizens discussing plagiarism. Many people even went to Molly's Twitter to scold her and ask her to admit plagiarism and publicly apologize to Mona

After casually scrolling through Twitter, Mona logged out and set her phone aside.

After seeing the comments on Twitter, she felt completely relaxed.

After Maxwell tidied up the bathroom and returned, he saw Mona giggling foolishly on the bed. He turned off the main light in the room, leaving only the warm bedside lamp on. He lifted the blanket and held Mona in his arms. "Why are you so happy!"

Mona nodded and said cheerfully, "Just now, Danielle posted on Twitter to clarify the plagiarism issue for me. Maxwell, this won't affect the company's stock price anymore, and no one will blame me now."

Although Maxwell had never mentioned in front of her that the plagiarism issue had affected the shares of both companies and some partnerships, Mona could tell from how busy he had been in the past couple of days and the stock market's fluctuations. She was Maxwell's wife, and whatever bad thing happened to her would also affect Maxwell and the company.

Maxwell tucked the corner of the blanket behind Mona and gently brushed aside the loose strands of hair from her forehead with his long fingers. His tone, influenced by her cheerful demeanor, was also quite joyful as he said, "It's wonderful. You deserve to be loved by everyone."

"Maxwell, I'm not as great as you say. I have many flaws."

Every day, with Maxwell praising her like this, Mona felt as it she were about to float away.

"No, Mona, you are perfect in my eyes," Maxwell said honestly.

From the moment Mona was in his heart, she had been a perfect existence.

"How can there be a perfect person? You're just saying that randomly," said Mona

"Then tell me what flaws you think you have, and I'll see if they right."

Mona frowned slightly and said, "For example, I hold grudges indirectly and can be a bit narrow-minded" This

time, Molly had framed her for plagiarism. She would remember this and take revenge in the future. "It's human nature."

I'm also selfish and petty. Maxwell, in your heart and mind, there's only room for me."

"That's what I wish for!"

"And I have a strong ambition for my career and won't just be a housewife at home.

П

This was the conclusion she had drawn from living her life. One must have their own career. If she stayed at home for too long, it would only lead to becoming detached from society over time.

"This is an advantage. It means that you're motivated. I might even rely on you to support me in the future!"

I can't think of anything else. Do you think all my flaws in your eyes just become strengths?" Mona asked.

She really couldn't recall many of her shortcomings at once.

"Yes, I've said it before. You're perfect in my eyes," Maxwell emphasized once again.
