Chapter 709:
“Alright p>
Once Maggie had left, Yelena lifted the bag and carefully opened it, eager to see what Maggie had given her.
“Oh, how lovely! These are incredibly beautiful! Are they for cats or dogs p>
Tessa, standing beside Yelena, was taken aback. She had never before encountered pet clothes of such delicate craftsmanship.
Yelena was equally surprised. The quality of the fabric and stitching made it evident that these were no ordinary pet clothes found in regular stores.
It appeared that these were custom-made.
Previously, Yelena had snapped a photo of Aus and posted it online. Upon seeing the post, Maggie reached out to Yelena, asking whether Aus was male or female. Yelena confirmed that Aus was male. Maggie fell silent after their brief conversation. It surprised Yelena to discover that Maggie had actually prepared clothes for Aus.
The clothes were very attractive. Yelena could easily envision how cute Aus would appear wearing them.
Yelena messaged Maggie to express her thanks and then headed back to work.
From a distance, Monica observed all the interactions between Maggie and Yelena.
A storm cloud seemed to have settled over Monica’s expression.
When did that woman, Yelena, become so close to Maggie?
This was the first instance where Monica felt a sense of crisis.
Before this, Maggie had set Austin up on blind dates with numerous women, none of whom he liked. This led Monica to believe that she stood the best chance.

However, seeing Maggie’s fondness for Yelena and Austin’s affectionate treatment of her, how could Monica handle that calmly?
Seizing an opportunity, Monica approached Maggie with feigned surprise. “Mrs. Barton, what a surprise to see you here p>
At that moment, Maggie, somewhat bored, was actually pleased to see Monica. “What a pleasant surprise!” she responded.
“Indeed, it is quite the coincidence,” Monica said.
After a brief pause, Monica continued, “Mrs. Barton, there’s this dessert shop just around the corner known for its exceptional tiramisu. It’s infused with a rich coffee flavor, and the cheese is pleasantly sweet without being overpowering. It’s really quite delicious. Care to give it a try p>
Maggie had a sweet tooth. Upon hearing Monica’s suggestion, she was eager not to miss out and quickly accepted. “Sure, let’s go try some.” A smile spread across Monica’s face.
Expecting Maggie to agree, she had already arranged a “surprise” close by.
When Monica and Maggie reached the vicinity of the dessert shop, Monica discreetly made a gesture behind her back. It was subtle enough that others, including Maggie, noticed nothing unusual. A rundown van came out of nowhere and headed toward Maggie.
“Look out!” Reacting swiftly, Monica shoved Maggie to the side. Unaware and unprepared, Maggie stumbled and fell to the ground.
Maggie was still shaken, her heart having nearly burst from her chest moments earlier. The van, seemingly out of control, had been charging directly toward her, leaving her nearly paralyzed with fright.
Fortunately, Monica had managed to push Maggie to safety.
But what about Monica?
As the van collided with a nearby flowerbed, crumpling from the impact, Maggie turned her gaze toward Monica.
