The Queen's Back

Maxwell saw Mona's message on WhatsApp in the office and quickly replied. [After eating barbecue food, you should eat. some fruit. This is good for your health.]

Mona looked at Maxwell's WhatsApp message and could imagine his expression when he sent it. He must be sitting upright and serious.

Mona: [Got it. I'll take a photo when I do that. Don't get so caught up at work that you skip lunch. Don't forget to send me a photo of what you eat for lunch.] Maxwell: [Yes, honey!]

Mona looked at the word "honey" Maxwell sent and smiled unconsciously.

"Mona, stop staring into your phone when you're walking. We're almost at the barbecue food restaurant. Let's go in," Ava said.

As soon as she reached the door, she smelled the intense fragrance of barbecue food. Her stomach was already protesting. "Got it. Let's hurry up and eat. I just ate a little in the morning. I'm hungry." As Mona spoke, she subconsciously quickened her pace. Under the waiter's guidance, the three girls found a seat by the window and sat down. After ordering, Haley stared at the waiters coming and going, waiting for her food to be served. She felt that she was about to drool.

Mona was still thinking about the online shop. She clicked on the shopping app and searched for Star. The first shop that appeared was not an official shop, but it sold fake Star goods. Even the posters of the models were similar to those of Mona's shop. Mona clicked on it. It was clearly the same down jacket, but the price was only half of Star's. Mona supposed anyone who didn't know Star well naturally wouldn't be willing to buy a down jacket in Star's brick-and-mortar stores or its flagship shop online. Instead, they would be willing to buy it from the store that sold fake goods.

Mona clicked on the comments. The latest comment was from a user named Lily. Mona had already guessed who it was. It was the customer, Lily Wood.

Lily said that she had bought a down jacket from this shop and a down jacket from Star's shop. The two looked almost identical, but the texture was different. The quality of the one from this store was not good either. She said that the clothes in this shop were fake goods and the quality was not passable. She hoped that the customers who liked the brand Star would buy its clothes from Star's brick-and-mortar stores or its official flagship shop online.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

A comparison of the details of the two down jackets was attached.

However, Mona saw that the customer service of this shop personnel claimed that their shop was a branch of Star and that this customer's evaluation was a false accusation.

The more Mona read, the angrier she became. She immediately retorted, [If you're a branch of Star, why didn't I know? Do you have a patent for the clothes? I'm sure Star's legal department has already contacted you. If you know what's good for you, quickly take down the clothes and apologize to Star.]

After sending it, she seemed to be still angry. She placed her phone on the table angrily and did not want to look at it

anymore.

At this moment, Ava looked at the couple who came in and nudged Mona's arm, indicating for her to look at the door. and saw Teddy. The main point was that there was a girl beside him holding his arm. Mona followed Ava's gaze Chapter 288 ¥:67%0

Mona looked at this girl's face and subconsciously touched her own face. The face of that girl was at least 70% similar to Mona's, especially her eyes. They both had large eyes. However, Mona found that the girl's eyes did not look confident and looked a little submissive.

When she looked at the girl, the girl was also looking at Mona with shock in her eyes. Soon, Teddy followed the girl's gaze, and Mona looked away.

Ever since Teddy stopped in front of Mona when she was about to be stabbed, and Mona went to the hospital to see him, she had no contact with him anymore.

Mona had already gotten over what had happened in her past life and in this life. In her heart, she had already completely treated Teddy as a stranger.

Teddy did not expect to meet Mona in the barbecue food restaurant. He looked at the girl beside him and then at Mona. He said to the girl beside him, "Go and order first. I'll come to you in a while."

The girl beside Teddy looked at Mona. Thinking about herself in the mirror, she knew what was going on. She nodded obediently at Teddy and was led to a table at the side by the waiter. Before she left, she glanced at Mona.

After Teddy saw the girl leave, he hesitated for a moment and walked toward Mona.

"Mona, it's been a while. I didn't expect you to come here for some barbecue food too. Order whatever you want. Just put it on my tab when you're finished." Teddy looked at Mona and smiled.

He knew that it was impossible for him and Mona to be lovers anymore, but he still wanted to be friends with Mona. They were together during their four years in university, three years in high school, and three years in junior high. Mona had already accompanied him through many years of his life. Teddy did not want to be strangers with her for the rest of his life.

"That's not necessary. We'll just pay for our bills respectively. Your girlfriend is still waiting for you. Hurry up and go over!" Mona urged. She did not want to interact too much with Teddy.

"Mona, she..." Before Teddy could finish, Mona interrupted him. He wanted to explain, but he did not know where to start. Teddy's girlfriend looked 70% like her. Mona didn't want to know what that meant.

Mona said, "You don't have to tell me that. Our dishes have been served. We'll eat first."

After the waiter placed the dishes on the table, Mona looked at the baking tray and placed the lamb chops on it.

Teddy looked at Mona. He felt like saying something, but in the end, he did not say it out loud and left the table. After he left, Ava lowered her voice and said, "Did you see that just now? The girl beside Teddy looks like you." Mona nodded and said, "I see her. Don't mind him. Let's eat barbecue food. Didn't you say that you were already hungry?" As she spoke, Mona picked up grilled lamb chops for Ava and Haley.

"Alright, we'll leave him alone. However, I still want to say that he didn't cherish you when you treated him well in the past. Now that you're married, he's got a girlfriend who looks so much like you. Why is he pretending to be affectionate? That's disgusting," Ava complained as she ate.

When Mona and Teddy ere in unive she was incredibly nice to him, but in the end, Teddy got together with Barbara

and broke Mona's heart.

Mona said, "Alright now, don't mind him. Just let him pretend to be affectionate. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. I just want to stay great together with Maxwell. Let's eat barbecue food!" 15.54

Ava snorted softly before starting to enjoy the barbecue food.

Teddy's appearance did not disturb Mona's appetite. In the end, she felt that her belly was bulging.

When Mona went to pay the bill, she happened to meet Teddy's girlfriend. It was unknown if it was fate or if that girl did it on purpose.

Mona ignored her. After paying, she was about to go back when she heard someone call out to her from behind and say, "Mrs. Carter, I need to tell you something."

"I'm sorry, I don't think the two of us are familiar with each other. We don't have anything to talk about," Mona rejected. She had nothing to say to the girl in front of her. When Mona wanted to leave, Elene grabbed her arm and
