The Queen's Back

Time passed day by day. Luke's team still had not worked out an antidote. They had only stabilized Bernard's condition and ensured no danger for the time being. But Bernard was still lying there like a vegetable. At that time, Albert was tortured by Haley every day, but he was also enjoying it. Jane's condition was much better.

Mona either stayed in the room working on design drafts or had a video call with Maxwell. That night, she finished the drawing and lay in bed as usual, waiting for Maxwell's call. However, after a long time, nothing came. She thought that Maxwell must be too busy. After all, he had to deal with the Carter Group's business and find someone to monitor Jeremy.

It was not until Mona was about to fall asleep that the vibration of the phone in her hand woke her up. She suddenly opened her eyes. When she saw that it was Maxwell, she quickly picked it up.

As soon as the video call connected, Maxwell hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Mona. I've made you wait for too long. I was too busy today. I wanted to send you a voice message, but I have something serious to tell you."

The moment Mona saw Maxwell's face, her sleepiness was dispelled. "It doesn't matter. Hurry up and tell me what it is." As she spoke, she held the phone further away for a good angle.

On the other end, Maxwell hesitated for a moment and said honestly, "It's like this. I got someone to secretly follow Jeremy and found out that he has been buying the shares of minority shareholders for the past few days. He also secretly visited some major shareholders and even gave them gifts. The shareholders' meeting is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. He should be taking action soon."

Mona nodded and said, "I guessed it. But he's quite fast."

"Yes, it's very fast. Moreover, many shareholders have agreed. After all, Grandpa is lying in the hospital and can't handle anything," Maxwell sighed.

"You're right, Maxwell. I have something to discuss with you." Mona twiddled her fingers.

"What?" Maxwell vaguely guessed it. She wanted him to be the president of the Clem Group.

"Maxwell, I want to hand over the Clem Group to you. You know that I'm not interested in managing the company. I just want to be a designer. As for Albert, you know that he's still young and serving in the army. So our family doesn't have a successor now, and I can't give this good thing to Jeremy. So, I'll leave it to you, okay?" Mona said.

Her grandfather was still lying on the hospital bed. She could not watch her family's assets be occupied, so she might as well hand the company over to Maxwell first. When her grandfather woke up, she would let him make a decision. Anyway, Maxwell wouldn't hold onto the Člem Group.

Mona saw Maxwell's hesitation. After all, he still had the Carter Group to deal with. Then she continued her cute tone. "Maxwell, hubby, please."

Maxwell could not stand Mona's sweet voice and expression. If he was beside her, he would directly press her into his arms. However, they were only on a video.

"Alright, stop it. I promise you," Maxwell compromised.

"Hubby, you're so nice. Let me give you a kiss." Mona smiled and planted a big kiss on the camera.

After the two of them hung up, Mona thought for a moment and knocked on Jane's door. At this time, Jane had just finished wiping Bernard's body. Now the caregiver was watching and she was ready to sleep. Now that a few days had passed, Jane's mood had stabilized a lot and she was no longer as pessimistic as before.

Mona decided to tell Jane about Jeremy's attempt to snatch the Clem Group.

As soon as she knocked on the door, Jane immediately opened it and warmly invited Mona in. "Mona, what's wrong? It's so

late."

Mona sat on the sofa and said to Jane, "Grandma, I have something to tell you. It's related to Jeremy."This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"Oh, he's quite good. The company is so busy, but he's still concerned with your grandfather and me," Jane said.

Although Jeremy was not overseas, his heart was still there and he called them every day.

Mona knew that Jeremy was no longer her biological father, so she did not even call him father. But Jane wouldn't force her. She just wanted to see this girl happy.

Jane's attitude made Mona hesitate whether to tell her or not. However, if she put herself in Jane's shoes, she would rather know than live soberly with pain if the person she had always trusted was lying to her.

Thinking about this, Mona showed Jane the photo that Maxwell had just sent to her phone and said, "Grandma, take a look at this. I got someone to take this photo in Nathontown."

Mona did not put it bluntly that she had asked Maxwell to take this photo, afraid that Jane would misunderstand that Maxwell was coveting the Clem Group.

The photo showed Jeremy giving a gift to a shareholder of the Clem Group. The two of them seemed to be discussing something while Jeremy had a flattering smile on his face.

"This..." Jane was puzzled. 'Why would Jeremy give someone such a gift? Jewelry, so expensive one.

"Grandma, this might not be clear enough. Let's watch a video!" After Mona finished speaking, she played a video.

It was taken from the side so the faces couldn't be seen clearly, but after seeing that photo, Jane could tell that the person in the video was no one else but Jeremy, as well as the shareholder of the company. Jeremy bowed. "Please accept it."

That shareholder took the box. "Mr. Simon, you're quite sincere.

Jeremy asked tentatively with a fawning smile, "Then the shareholders' meeting..."

That shareholder laughed and nodded. "Mr. Simon, you've always been in charge of this company. Now that something has happened to Mr. Clem, it's naturally best if you can take the lead. I'll definitely stand on your side." "Then, wish us a pleasant cooperation!" Jeremy's smile expanded.

The video was quite short, but Jane had realized what Jeremy meant. He wanted to control the Clem Group while Bernard was hospitalized. He had been respectful to the two of them and treated them just like his parents for so many years. It seemed that he was just targeting their assets.

Now that Jeremy had probably premeditated everything, he might also be the one who had poisoned Bernard. Thinking of this, Jane's hands shook and she didn't dare to continue her speculation. Instantly, she lost all feelings for Jeremy. All the left was hatred.

If that was the case, Bernard would probably not be lying in the hospital due to the crisis in the company. Now Jane clenched her fists and trembled with regret.

"Mona, Jeremy wants to occupy the Clem Group? Your grandfather is still lying here. What should we do?" Jane asked anxiously.

The Clem Group was the painstaking effort of generations. She wouldn't let Jeremy's goal succeed.
