Mona took out her phone and turned on her camera. She took a few photos of the two chubby snowmen, selected two of her favorite photos, and then posted them on Twitter.
The caption was: [The Mrs. Carter in Mr. Carter’s eyes!]
Soon, she received likes and blessings from netizens, who were all shippers of her and Maxwell.
Ever since she and Maxwell had a lot of shippers online, she often recorded her life with Maxwell on Twitter. She thought that when she grew old, this would be her and Maxwell’s memories.
When Mona was having brunch, she saw the WhatsApp message that Ava had sent her.
The livestream last night was very successful. This morning, many customers came to Star. It was just like the time when the brand was first established. The salespeople were so busy that they did not have time to rest, but all of them had smiles on their faces.
Mona was very happy that the livestream had such an effect. At this rate, there would not be many winter clothes stored in the warehouse. Mona told Ava that things would get better and better.
It was just as Mona had said. A week later, they won the lawsuit and upheld their patent rights. All the fake goods were taken off the shelves online, and those merchants had to apologize to Star and pay a large sum of compensation.
This compensation could make up for most of the losses that Star had suffered previously. Just as Mona had said, Star was getting better and better.
Moreover, this lawsuit caused quite a stir in Nathontown. It also indirectly promoted Star. Those who often watched the news knew about Star.
Mona was very satisfied with this result. In the next few days, she focused her energy on the down jacket she had prepared for Maxwell.
After Mona waited for a few days, the factory finished making the down jacket that she had customized. After Mona received the news, she went to the factory with Haley on the same day. She wanted to give Maxwell a little surprise when he returned tonight.
Nathontown’s sky was foggy. The sun was hidden behind the thick clouds, and sunlight could no longer be seen.
Haley was very careful when driving. Because of the fog, her vision was not very clear.
“Haley, just take your time to drive. There’s no hurry.” Mona looked at the misty sky in the distance.
“Mona, don’t worry. I know what to do.” Haley gripped the steering wheel tightly.
The two of them finally arrived at the entrance of the factory safely. Before Mona could enter, she heard her phone ring.
As soon as she picked up the call, Ava’s anxious voice came from the receiver. “Mona, where are you? Something bad has happened. The person in charge of the fake goods is about to jump off the building. He’s already on the top floor of Star. No one is allowed to approach him. He’s clamoring to see you.”
When Mona heard Ava’s words, she became more nervous. “Don’t panic. I’ll be right there.”
After saying that, Mona and Haley hurriedly rushed to Star. She had arrived at the entrance, but she did not even have time to get the down jacket.
Along the way, Mona was quite worried. If this person’s death was related to Star, then Star would have to bear the crime. This would not be a simple problem.

“Mona, don’t panic. Since Ava said that he wants to see you, nothing will happen to him before he sees you, comforted Haley as she drove.
Mona understood what Haley said, but she was just worried and afraid since this was about a living human life.

In her previous life, Mona had fallen to her death from the top floor of the hotel. She knew the feeling of being torn apart and her body shattered. In her opinion, life was the most precious. Without life, there was nothing.
“Yes, I know. Drive slowly.” Mona clenched her fists tightly.
The journey was smooth. Haley brought Mona to the bottom of Star’s building safely.
There were already many people standing downstairs. When they looked up, they could see the person holding the railing and swaying. He looked like someone who had fallen into the sea and could only hold the swaying boat.
Someone said, “Why is he jumping off a building all of a sudden?”
Another one said, “He said that the compensation awarded by the court was too much. He can’t afford it.”
Someone said, “If he can’t afford it now, he should pay for it little by little until he pays off. Why can’t he cherish his life?”
Someone else said, “He’s quite pitiful. The two children in his family are still in school. The tuition fees cost a lot. I think there’s really nothing he can do.”
Someone said, “I hope the police can save him later. After all, it’s a human life. If he dies, what will happen to his family?”
As soon as Mona arrived, she heard their conversation.
Ava was already waiting downstairs. As soon as she saw Mona, she pulled her in.
Ava said, “Mona, the police have already gone up, but he won’t let the police get close to him. He said that he wants to see you. If he’s so persistent, we won’t take the compensation. Talk to him nicely. Don’t let him really jump.”
“Ava, don’t worry. I’ll go up and hear what he has to say.” Mona comforted Ava, but she did not agree with Ava.
She knew very well that if Star set a precedent by letting this man off, the other people who owed Star money would imitate this person and stand on the top floor. They would claim that they’d jump from the top floor if they had to compensate. Mona couldn’t just allow them not to pay. If she did, Star would lose its business and might as well close down.
However, Mona didn’t tell Ava what she thought. She said that she wanted to see him first.
Accompanied by Haley and the police, Mona went up to the top floor of Star and saw the person standing at the side. It seemed that if someone gently pushed him, he would fall from the top of the building. The rooftop was more than 70 floors high. If he fell from there, he would die if nothing unexpected happened.
Mona saw clearly that there was fear in this man’s eyes.
The man, whose name was Fred Wilson, held the iron railing tightly with one hand and pointed at the person beside Mona with the other, saying, “You, all of you, step back. I’ll talk to Mona Clem.”
Mona could tell that his voice was trembling.
“Okay. Fred, don’t be agitated. Don’t move. We’ll retreat now,” the police officer said as he pulled Haley back.
Haley looked at Mona worriedly. She really wanted to go over and pull Fred down. However, she was quite far away from him. By the time she went over, Fred would have already jumped off the roof.

On the way up, the police had already told Mona that no matter what Fred said, Mona would do her best to agree to it. They would deal with the rest after they saved Fred. Mona agreed.
The police and Haley had already retreated according to Fred’s request. Now, Mona was the closest to him, but there was still a distance of about five feet between them.
The fog in the sky had not dissipated yet. Mona looked at Fred in front of her who was holding onto the iron railing. She felt as if she was looking at herself in her previous life when she was pressed against the wall by Barbara and felt like she was about to fall. However, at that time, she had a strong desire to survive, but Fred in front of her had a small desire to live.
