The Queen's Back

Jane paused, then cried out, "Just like Mona said, Emmie's car was regularly maintained. How could the brakes suddenly fail? It must have been Jeremy.

"To avoid divorcing Emmie and to get his hands on the Clem Group, he did something so evil. How is someone like that still alive? Why hasn't he gone to hell where he belongs?

"My poor Emmie, my sweet Emmic, gone just like that. She never got to truly enjoy life!"

As Jane spoke, tears streamed down her face. Seeing Emily's phone unleashed the deep sorrow Jane had suppressed for a long time.

Even Bernard, the tough businessman he was to the world, could not help but wipe his eyes. Emily had suffered far too much in her life.

It was Jeremy who caused Emily so much pain. As her father, Bernard could not stand by without avenging her.

Not only did Jeremy nearly kill Bernard, but he also cost Emily's life. Even if he was not the one who tampered with the brakes, he had asked her to meet. If not for that, Emily would not have gone out so late at night. If she had not, everything would have been different. Bernard handed Jane a tissue and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. He comforted, "Once you're done crying, let's try not to dwell on it and live happily. If Emmie were still here, she would not want to see you this way, And as for Jeremy, I swear he'll pay for what he did to Emmic

"He will. Nathontown is completely locked down now. There's no way Jeremy can escape. He'll pay for everything he's done. Mona said resolutely.

"Yes, Mona is right. Jeremy won't be able to escape," Maxwell added.

In addition to the police search, Maxwell also had his men out looking for Jeremy, hidden in every corner of Nathontown.

Just as Maxwell finished speaking, his phone vibrated. It was a message from Nigel [Someone spotted Jeremy at the Nathontown bus terminal]

Attached was a photo showing Jeremy in a black leather jacket and a baseball cap, with only his eyes visible. But on closer inspection, his features were still recognizable.

Maxwell replied: [Keep tracking his every move. I'll inform the police.)

Jeremy's currently near the bus station. I've notified the police Maxwell informed everyone.

"We have to catch him and make sure he gets the punishment he deserves, Bernard said, seething with anger.

After that, they just sat in the living room, anxiously waiting for the news.

During this time, Mona suddenly recalled that Ava had mentioned she would be returning today at 11 in the morning and asked Mona to pick her up at the airport last night.

Mona realized she had nearly forgotten about such an important thing. If she actually did, Ava would probably kill her when she got back.

As the thought hit her, she quickly stood up and said to Jane and Bernard, "Ava's coming back today, I need to pick her up from the airport."

As soon as Mona stood up, Maxwell quickly followed. "Mona, I'll go with you," he said.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

It was better to stay cautious, If they happened to cross paths with Jeremy, who was evading the police, he might be desperate enough to do anything. 95%1

At the same time. Maxwell's men were waiting at the Clem family residence gate to escort him and Mona to ensure their safety along the way.

In a situation like this, they couldn't afford to be the least bit careless. It was better to be safe than sorry.

But that was just how life worked. The harder one tried to prevent something, the more likely it would happen.

Their vehicle was cruised smoothly down the paved road, Mona was in a fairly good mood. At last, the person who harmed her mother and grandfather was going to be put behind bars.

They approached an intersection and stopped at a red light.

With his hands on the steering wheel, Maxwell thought to himself that after this intersection, they would almost be at the

airport

Before long, the lights turned green. Maxwell Carter pulled himself out of his thoughts and focused on driving

They were at a four-way intersection. The light turned green on Maxwell's side, which meant that it was a red light for the vehicles coming from his left and right. Technically, any vehicles from those directions would not be allowed to cross. Then, out of nowhere, a van suddenly shot through the red light from the left. Almost as if it had a mind of its own, it headed straight for Maxwell's car. Maxwell Carter was the first car in the leftmost lane. Almost instinctively, he turned the wheel in the opposite direction, trying to escape the impact. But it was too late. The van kept coming straight at him.

In the passenger seat, Mona's eyes widened in shock as she saw the van speeding toward them. Instinctively, she shielded Maxwell beside her.

Once again, in that moment of danger, it became clear that Maxwell's life was more important to Mona than her own. With a loud bang, the van crashed hard into their car, as if it were on a reckless mission.

In an instant, the world spun around her. Mona's body was thrown about, and the impact nearly made her sick. Gradually. she began to lose all sense of feeling.

Just a second before the collision, Maxwell's hand moved on instinct, protecting Mona's head.

Due to the severe accident, traffic was heavy in both directions.

Maxwell's men were in the car right behind them. As soon as they saw that it was Maxwell's car in the accident, they immediately got out. Some called the police, others called for an ambulance, all rushing to help.

Their job was to keep Maxwell and Mona safe. But they ended up in a car accident. If Maxwell or Mona lost their lives, they would not have the heart to collect their paycheck this month.

Inside the car, Mona sensed something thick, warm, and sticky running down from her head. She felt completely limp, unable to move a muscle.

With great effort, she managed to open her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Maxwell's handsome but unconscious face. I overlapped with the memory of his face from the past, as he stood by her grave. Straining, she forced her mouth open and called out, "Maxwell..."

Having escaped death narrowly, Mona feared it more than ever, But what terrified her the most was the thought of Maxwell

Sa

dying.

Amid the loud noises around her, Mona vaguely saw Jeremy's face through the car window, drawing closer and closer.

Noticing that Mona Clem was still conscious inside the car, Jeremy joined the crowd in helping to open her door, pushing his way to the front as if he were just a concerned bystander.

Everyone around was focused on the car accident, so no one recognized Jeremy. Despite being a wanted fugitive recently identified by the police, he had disguised himself just enough to go unnoticed.

After helping Mona out of the car, Jeremy immediately pulled a sharp knife from his pocket and pressed it to her throat. The icy touch of the blade against her neck jolted Mona into brier clarity. She forced her eyes open, seeing Jeremy holding the knife to her throat.
