With no internet and the laptop soon running out of battery, Mona had no choice but to give up and draft the design by hand.

When Aunt May saw this, she came up with a plan. When Mona went to the washroom, Aunt May took the opportunity to hide the design along with the pen.

“Aunt May, where’s my draft?” Mona, dressed in a cotton nightgown that revealed her two fair and slender legs, wandered around the room looking for her drawing.

“Maybe it grew wings and flew away.” Aunt May pretended as if nothing had happened. She took out the cake, cut it into slices, and served a slice on a plate before handing it to Mona. “Would you like some cake?”

“Yes, please.” Mona was tired of looking and sat on the bed with her legs crossed.

She thought of eating some cake and putting aside her work for the time being.

“How did you know I wanted strawberry cake?” Mona’s mouth felt sweet with the cream. She hated taking medicine when sick since the bitterness made her unable to taste anything else. At

    Mona was flooded with mixed feelings after hearing Aunt May’s words. She felt bad for Thaddeus. However, Mona was also in a dilemma because her mother was involved. She was not in a fair position to judge the matter. “Wait, Madam. Are you saying your mother is that woman?” Aunt May realized the shocking connection after she combed through the details. That would mean her master married his enemy’s daughter! The relationship made Aunt May aware that things were not as simple as they looked, and her expression swiftly turned serious. Mona’s heart sank when she saw Aunt May’s reaction. She had no allies in the family and had to find someone she could rely upon. Otherwise, no one would care about her even if she died in the corner. So she took the risk by telling Aunt May about her mother. She wanted Aunt May to know because Aunt May had worked for the Fontaines for many years and had a reputation amongst the other servants. She could also learn more about her mother from

    After Aunt May left, Mona opened her eyes and sat up to see a brand new key on the table. She had come up with the outrageous thought of copying the key to open the mysterious study room. With that thought in mind, she went to the study room. When she poked the key into the hole, it went in without resistance. With a turn of the key, the door unlocked. She opened it and entered. Her first impression of the study room was that it was clean. There was not a speck of dust within range. Other than a study desk and some book racks, there was nothing else in the room. Nothing felt out of place. However, since the room was locked, it must hold a secret somewhere. She sat down at the desk and opened up the first drawer. A document folder entered her sight. She put her hand on it and felt there was something inside. She unwound the string, and a laminated piece of paper fell out. It was a death certificate. As Mona went through the details, her heart raced, and her blood

    Aunt May got no answer from Mona in the room. When Thaddeus called from France to tell her he could not reach Mona, Aunt May came to the room to look for her. She was afraid something had happened to Mona, so without a second thought, she opened the door. The moment she stepped inside, she noticed the locked study room was open. Before she could figure out how the door opened, she was shocked to find an unconscious Mona on the floor. “Madam! What happened? Madam?! Wake up!” Mona had fallen on her head earlier, causing a bruise on her forehead. It hurt, but not as much as her heart when she saw the death certificate. She grabbed the edge of the desk and slowly helped herself up. She clenched her teeth in pain and said to Aunt May, “Aunt May, a hand, please.” Aunt May helped Mona out of the study room and returned to bed. She then went over to the study room door to figure out how it opened. “Oh, my? Where did this key come from? Is it the one you asked me to make a co

    For a moment, Mona was rendered speechless. The question reminded her of the scene she shared with Victor last night. She found Thaddeus' question unreasonable. While she had met Victor last night, it was a brief meeting. How did it reach Thaddeus, who was another continent away? Mona said, “We just had a chat.” “What kind of chat requires you to go out in the middle of the night?” Thaddeus sounded frosty. “You haven’t answered my question. Did Victor give you a thumb drive?” Mona was annoyed by the man’s tone. “No. You’re the one being unreasonable here.” “Then how did you explain the information leak in my company?” Mona frowned. What did she have to do with his company’s information leak? “You used the study room’s computer last night, and the backup data leaked from there. How are you going to explain that?” Thaddeus sounded flat but pressuring. It felt like he was in front of Mona and condescendingly judging her. “I just did some emails, nothing else. You m

    Then, she strode back into the mansion, went to the room, and grabbed Thaddeus' car keys. Since the driver dared not drive her, she would take Thaddeus' car out herself. Aunt May did not dare stop her anymore. She threatened Mona she would inform Thaddeus, but even that did not slow Mona down. Mona strode to the garage that housed a dozen expensive cars and walked to the most low-profile car he had in his collection—a Bentley. She opened the door, got into the driver’s seat, and started the car. The car slowly drove out of the garage, then out of the mansion. Aunt May watched as the car drove off and disappeared from her sight. She sighed helplessly before she called Thaddeus using the landline. Meanwhile, in France, Thaddeus stood up in the messy meeting room. He loosened his tie and sighed heavily. His sexy Adam’s apple moved as he gulped. “Meeting postponed. We’ll continue tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock.” Thaddeus tossed the documents on the table before he grabbe

    Marcus scratched his head awkwardly, looking conflicted. He trusted Mona. Based on their limited interaction, Mona did not seem like a person who would leak the company’s important data to an outsider. However, viewing it from a general perspective, every piece of evidence pointed at Mona and every suspect and allegation had solid foundations. It was difficult to trust her just because she looked trustworthy. In addition to the evidence, Susan was part of a hacker group, and hacking was easy for her. On top of that, she met with Victor. It was difficult for others not to suspect her of teaming up with Victor to sabotage the company. Even if Mona was innocent, she used the computer and the problematic thumb drive, so the damage was done. “Sir, what about the board? What should we tell them?” The board back at Worchester was furious because of the data leak. If Thaddeus did not calm them down, Mona would have been arrested by the police. Thaddeus stood by the window and g

    The workers were afraid that Chad might frighten Mona, so they helped him up and got someone to send him away. Mona watched from the side. It was depressing as if a rock was crushing her chest. The psychiatric hospital locked up the patients like prisoners. There was no such thing as freedom, and even the air they breathed was filthy. Knowing that her father might have to spend his entire life here crushed her. “Mrs. Fontaine, are you alright?” Mona recollected her thoughts and looked at the worker. She forced a smile and nodded. “I’m okay.” “Let’s go up then.” The worker brought Mona to the elevator and went straight to the highest floor of the hospital. Unlike the other floors which held many patients in a single ward section, the highest floor was specifically for Oliver. The worker told Mona to wait at the parlor. A while later, the worker brought a man in patient’s garb in. “Mrs. Fontaine, this is Oliver Mayers.” Mona looked at the man at the entrance. He

    The moment ‘Dad’ escaped from Mona’s mouth, Oliver trembled more and more. “Why are you crying? No one is beating you. Tsk. You were laughing a moment ago, and now you’re crying? Have you really lost your mind?” Oliver broke down in tears. He lost control of his emotions and sobbed in silence. One of the workers was annoyed and punched Oliver in the stomach. “Stop acting funny!” “Hey!” Mona strode over immediately and pushed the worker away. She bellowed, “Is this how you treat the patient? He’s having a breakdown and you’re punching him? It’s fine if you don’t want to take care of him but resorting to violence?!” “Mrs. Fontaine, you have no idea what he has done. He deserves a lot worse than a punch.” Mona looked at Oliver’s back. The man refused to turn around as if he dared not look her in the eyes. The worker got nervous and continued, “Mrs. Fontaine, you have no idea how terrible his man was when he was younger. He abused his wife, abandoned her, and cheated on her m

    The couple was tired after a time of bonding, and they lay on the wicker chair, closing their eyes before slipping into dreamland. Sometime later, Thaddeus felt a chill and opened his eyes. His T-shirt was wet, and Bobby and Millie were spraying water at him with water guns. The youngest child was nearby too in her stroller. She suckled on a pacifier and watched the bustle. “Where’s your mommy?” Thaddeus shuffled his hair and looked around, searching for Mona. “Freeze, Daddy. We have held Mommy captive. Surrender yourself to us.” Acting like the boss, Millie pointed her massive water gun at her daddy. Thaddeus had indulged his eldest daughter so much that the girl would only have things her way. Nevertheless, Thaddeus played along since it was only a game. He knew his children well. Millie took after Mona and was shrewd. Still, Millie would be on her best behavior when in public. “Hurry up and surrender, Daddy. Put your hands up, and we will release Mommy.” Millie poked

    It was a cooling breeze for the Summer as flowers bloomed in the garden of Fontaine Residence. Mona rested on a wicker chair under the wine arbor, holding in hand the latest issue of the weekly design magazine, with her face on the cover. In the photo, she held a trophy up on the stage of a design competition, standing out amidst the radiant background. Since the birth of her youngest, Mona took a month off for rest before picking up her passion again and returning to the world of design. Recently, she won first place in an international design competition and found fame. Mona was happy with her life and enjoyed the rich and peaceful state of things. She had time to herself for once during the weekend, so she found a quiet spot to enjoy time alone while the kids had a nap. The sunlight shone over Mona through the leaves, basking her in warmth. She let out a yawn and closed her eyes for a nap. Thaddeus walked out of the house and saw the woman enjoying the moment of bliss. The t

    “Mommy, did the baby kick you today?” Millie wobbled her way over and placed her hand on Mona’s belly. She could feel the baby stirring inside her mommy’s stomach. Millie was pleasantly surprised. “The baby kicked me! Mommy, is the baby swimming inside your belly?” “Yeah. The baby is kicking.” Mona affectionately caressed her belly. The fetus had been kicking and rolling a lot more lately, so she could not get much sleep. The tall and strong man drew near and looked tenderly at Mona. His husky voice lingered in Mona’s ear. “Weren’t you craving strawberries? I placed an order, and the fruit is being airlifted here as we speak. It’ll arrive tonight.” “Yay.” Mona was gleeful. Since the beginning of her pregnancy, she had become quite fussy and craved the strangest food. She wanted caviar from Japan, cookies from France, and strawberries from the highlands. Anything she asked for would be transported fresh to the house the next day.The man had taken good care of her during her en

    “No. I won’t let myself go.” The man huffed heavily after finishing his sit-ups. Then, he rolled out of bed and got changed in the walk-in closet. Mona stared at the man’s well-toned back, gasping at his body upkeep. People would probably have a hard time believing he was a father of three. With that in mind, Mona became aware of a potential threat. She got up and drew close to the man. “You’re responsible for taking care of the baby once the child is born.” Thaddeus straightened his tie. “Alright. I can do that. I want to be present in the baby’s life and your pregnancy. You should rest at home once your belly gets bigger. I’ll handle Bobby and Millie’s school run, okay?” The man pinched Mona’s face dotingly. “Now you’re talking. Are you heading out?” Mona got up on her tiptoes to brush off the dust from his shoulders. “Yeah. I need to sort out a lot of paperwork.” “I wrote down notes of the meeting I attended on your behalf a few days ago.” Mona walked out to retrieve a

    Thaddeus was in the hospital for a week before he was discharged. The election day for the successor of the Fontaine Group was two weeks later, but Thaddeus had not made a full recovery in his legs. He remained in a wheelchair and persisted in his daily physiotherapy. Mona had a room freed up in Fontaine Residence for Thaddeus’ rehabilitation. A specialized doctor would come around the house every day to help Thaddeus with his recovery. Thaddeus was a strong man to fight through the pain in his physiotherapy sessions. That day, Mona watched as the workers hung a decorative painting on the wall in the hallway. She ordered paintings of her preference and had them shipped from abroad. Mona instructed the workers to put it up, not paying attention to the wobbly painting that had been hung behind her. The painting was about to hit her from the back. Thaddeus was exiting the rehabilitation room when he caught sight of the danger. Getting up from his wheelchair, Thaddeus took large stri

    The few pictures of Mona and Victor at the height of a tussle gave the impression that they were having an intimate moment. Thaddeus went through the photos with a look of disdain. “So you stood there and pretended to take pictures of me to show me these? You set my wife up with another man to tell me she was cheating on me?” It was not hard to guess the game the paparazzi were playing, but who was he trying to fool? The man was dumbstruck, as it never occurred to him that Thaddeus could see through him. It had taken the three of them to come up with the idea. However, it had not taken much for Thaddeus to foil their plan. Mona let out a relieved smile. She thought that Thaddeus would be furious at the look of the pictures and had prepared herself to give a long explanation. She was surprised that Thaddeus quickly saw through the attempt to drive them apart. Their relationship was solid, and no one could come between them. Mona thought to herself with glee when she took

    Mona stood in front of Thaddeus, blocking his face as she confronted the paparazzi who took their picture. “Hand over the camera!” “There’s nothing in the camera. Besides, it’s my personal property. Why should I give it to you?” “You clearly took a picture of my husband. You have some nerve to say there’s nothing.” Mona grabbed the man by the wrist and lifted her foot to kick. Thaddeus grabbed her wrist to stop her. “You’re pregnant. Think about the child.” Thaddeus pulled Mona back, leaving himself exposed to the paparazzi. “Why do you want to photograph me? Do you want to see me in a wheelchair? Take a picture then.” Thaddeus pulled a straight face. His nonchalant gaze spoke of intimidation. Dumbstruck, the paparazzi looked at Thaddeus’ legs and smiled dryly. “What happened to your legs, Mr. Fontaine?” Thaddeus did not answer. However, his dark eyes flicked chillingly as he looked murderously at the paparazzi. Even in a wheelchair, Thaddeus did not have to say anythi

    With the help of the two caretakers, Thaddeus sat in the wheelchair. He had overcome his emotions and pulled himself together. His mind was clear as he sorted out what he should do next. Thaddeus called the assistant into the room and laid out the following plan. “I won’t attend any media interviews before the election, but I won’t disappear from the public eye either. I don’t want to give the press something to talk about. My wife will represent me. Going forward, whatever she says or does will be considered my own. She has the authority to attend all corporate conferences, big or small.” Mona dropped her jaw in shock. She was to attend company meetings and speak on his behalf. It was trying to make the impossible happen. On second thought, Thaddeus must have his reasons to do so. She had the confidence to do a good job anyway. The assistant took note of everything Thaddeus said. The Fontaine Group was about to choose its next leader, and with Thaddeus still in recovery, the

    “It’s okay. That’s normal after surgery. The doctor gave me a heads-up. Since it’s a brain operation, you might have damage to the motor nerve. With the help of physiotherapy, you’ll be back to running in no time.” Mona consoled Thaddeus. Thaddeus lifted his hands and gave Mona a gentle push. “Leave.” Mona froze. She looked at the man who was fine a second ago, not knowing what to do. “Can you leave? I need some time alone,” Fixing his gaze on Mona, Thaddeus spoke callously. “Okay. I’ll be right outside if you need me.” It dawned on Mona why the man was persistent in driving her away. He did not want her to see him at his worst. In a way, he was trying to protect his pride and dignity as a man. However, they were a married couple. Mona would never turn her back on him. Mona could understand the man’s vulnerability and his feelings at the moment. Hence, she said nothing and quietly left the ward to give Thaddeus the time and space to sort his emotions.
