The Queen's Back (Mona and Maxwell)
The Queen’s 111

Maxwell looked at Mona who was focused and put his arm around Mona's shoulder to ease her nervousness.

As the audience voted, Mona watched her ranking soar and gradually heaved a sigh of relief.

When all the audience had finished voting, the 30% result was out. Mona was especially excited when she saw her name was in the lead.

Her design was liked by 49% of the

There were a total of five judges. The first four gave Mona a high score of over nine points. When it came to the last judge, he gave a low score of six points. Mona's heart sank dramatically. Her mood was indescribable. Maxwell looked at Mona's dejected expression and felt disappointed.

Just like that, the final score was calculated. The scores of Mona and Barbara were the same. The main reason was that the judge's low score of six points pulled down Mona's total score.

The low score not only made Mona and Maxwell depressed, but it also made the audience unanimously disagree. After all, the design of the dress was good, and Artemis performed well. Grading six was indeed too low. "Mona..." Artemis patted Mona's shoulder comfortingly.

After the audience voted, Mona thought she would get the first place. In the end, one judge gave her a low score and made

Mona smiled at Artemis. "It's fine. We've tried our best to salvage the situation. The results we've achieved are already good enough."

Although Mona wanted to outcompete Barbara, the die was cast. She could only say her design couldn't please everyone. That judge was the one who did not like it.

I looked at Mona's disappointed eyes. He gently stroked her hair with his big hand and looked at the stage, thinking about something.

Barbara looked at the results of the design competition on the big screen with confidence in her eyes. 'So what if Mona salvaged the situation? She would still get the first place with me together.' Speaking of which, Lydia's performance was not perfect, either. She saw Lydia's smile on the stage was stiff. She was not as good as Artemis at all.

Barbara thought, 'Even so, my design of work got the same scores as Mona's, which means my design is still better than Mona's.'

The host stood on the stage. Just as he was about to announce that the first place was won by Mona and Barbara, Maxwell walked straight to the stage and stood beside the host, saying something. The host paused and looked at the person beside him, who seemed to have an innate dignity that frightened him unconsciously.

Just as the host was about to ask Maxwell what was going on, Maxwell opened his mouth. His cold voice came from the stage. "I have objections to the first place in this competition. I want to know the reason why the judge gave Mona a 6.3." 09:20 Sat, Oct 26 09.20 Chapter 111

Maxwell paused for a moment and swept his cold gaze across the judge. "Everyone likes the dress designed by Mona, especially the red rose. The other judges are the same. Only you gave Mona a low score. I just want to know the reason." When Maxwell said that, the audience also started discussing sofly. 87%1

"What the guy says on stage makes sense. I also think Mona's design is better than Barbara's. It has the feeling of enthusiasm in summer."

I second that. Moreover, this guy is hot. He's my type. What do you think his relationship with Mona is?"

"He's standing up for her. I guess he's Mona's boyfriend. Mona looks so young. He can't be her husband, can he?"

However, they look a perfect match."

"He's her fiancé, but it seems the two of them are connected by arranged marriage something going on between these two. I have to keep an eye on them."

“Jeez, based sed on my many years of experience watching idol dramas,

there must be

"When the scores were released, I felt the judge was deliberately giving Mona a low mark. Now is a good time to hear the results." Barbara's

gaze swept across Mona in the front row and Maxwell on the stage. Her heart was filled with jealousy and dissatisfaction. Barbara thought, 'I was so close. I was so close to getting the first place with Mona. It's all Maxwell's fault. It's a waste of time.

Barbara was also indignant. Mona had been Teddy's girlfriend for so many years and was about to get engaged. After getting married, Mona had a husband who treasured her. Barbara couldn't be more jealous.

Mona looked at Maxwell on the stage. She She did I not expect Max Maxwell to to step out

question that judge. She was touched.

The judge questioned by Maxwell held the microphone in his hand and defended, "This is just my point of view. Firstly, I don't like the rose on the dress. Roses have many colors, and the rose on the dress is only red. Secondly, the embroidery of the rose on the collar of the dress is a little messy, indicating the designer is not good at embroidery. So, I gave it 6.3." "Really? Then why did you have a transfer record of ten million dollars on your bank card just now?" Maxwell asked coldly. If he hadn't felt something was wrong and asked Nigel to investigate it, Maxwell wouldn't have known that this judge had I received a a large transfer from someone. It was

obvious that someone e did not want Mona to get first place and had deliberately bribed the judge.

The audience below was discussing in low voices, wondering if what Maxwell said was true. It was ten million dollars, not a small sum.

Maxwell looked at the judge's terrified gaze and continued, "Also, who said we can't draw only one red rose? Your point of view is too lamb.

"If I'm not wrong, you're still wearing your glasses, which means your vision isn't good. Besides, how could you see so clearly from below the stage? You could even see the embroidery on the collar."

When Maxwell said that, the audience subconsciously nodded along with him. "That's right. Even with normal eyesight, one can not see so clearly. Moreover, this person is near-sighted. He was making things up.'

The young judge's face turned red from Maxwell's rebuttal. He said, "I'm a judge. I already said that it was my own opinion, so I gave Mona a 6.3. Don't spout nonsense here without evidence. Otherwise, I'll sue you for damaging my reputation."
