My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Mariana woke up late in the afternoon to see Liliana’s scowling face.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

The latter scolded her for ten minutes before asking how she felt.

After Liliana and the others left, James still stayed back.

Mariana did not want to talk to him because he was just too unreasonable.

However, James mistook that for her anger and silent treatment.

James apologized and took really good care of her despite her refusal. The maid just watched them fight from the sides.

Later in the evening, Mariana went to Liliana’s house. She would stay there for the night before returning to her parent’s house.

While Mariana was in the hospital, the Aprices had finally made peace.

Rose, through tears and manipulation, managed to convince Lester that she was framed by Liliana who wanted to separate them.

She assured Lester that she was waiting for Lester in the hotel and she was given some drugs which made her see that fat guy as Lester.

After several weeks of fights, silent treatment, verbal diarrhea, and insults, they finally reconciled.

Lester did not believe Rose completely, but given the situation, he chose to save his pride. It was a better narrative that his wife was targeted and framed by an ungrateful bitch rather than him being cuckolded.

Besides, other than Rose and Lydia, there was no one else in the house. His son was still abroad, partying, whoring, and car racing.

Lester had a few moments of doubt where he wondered if life would have been different if he had not treated Liliana that badly. At least, she would have managed the company well which neither Lydia nor his wayward son seemed capable of.

But, the same thought would stop him in his tracks. Liliana was too much like her mother. She would have overshadowed him eventually.

He did not want to be an incapable father, just like he had always been overwhelmed by Anne.

When Lydia came up with a plan to sabotage Liliana, he agreed readily.

Lydia had always thought that Liliana cared about her father, so what better way to piss her off than to show that Lester only cared about her.

Showing off to Liliana that Lester only cared about Lydia and not his biological daughter was the best revenge for her.

Or so they imagined.

Lester transferred 10% shares of Aprice Group to Lydia, the rest he had kept for himself and his only son, who would ultimately receive all his assets.

Coincidently, Lester’s birthday was around the corner, so they organized a large party and invited many bigwigs.

Despite being the CEO of Aprice Group, Lester was not one of the key players in the business. Especially older generations like Jonathan’s Grandmother knew how he came about his fortune.

As such he was always looked down upon.

Noone really important had planned to attend the party. But the news spread that Jonathan and Liliana would be making an appearance.

To watch the drama, many people RSVP’d.

Lydia was waiting for just this.

Their plan was very simple: catch Liliana off-guard by transferring a large chunk of Aprice Group to Lydia, rile her up by showing off affection that she was never the recipient of, and sow discord between Jonathan and Liliana while letting everyone know that Lydia and Jonathan had an unusual relationship.

Lester did not want to mess with the Smiths, but every time he was reminded that Liliana had humiliated him by making him a cuckold publicly, he would lose all reason.

If Liliana were to be dumped by Jonathan publicly, he would be relieved.

Thinking of this, he gave Lydia free rein to do whatever she wanted.

Blinded by his pride, he did not pause to reason how Lydia was so crafty.

As usual, in front of Lester, Rose was timid and advised caution at each turn. Behind his back, she was leading the entire thing with Lydia in the front.

Finally, the day arrived and everyone made their way to the banquet hall with different agenda.

Lester had spent a lot of money on the party.

The Aprices were not reconciled with their previous defeat and humiliation. Hence, they had spent a lot of resources and money to get back at Liliana.

None of them had realized that there was no gain for them. All their plans included just making Liliana feel bad. They did not have anything in mind to make Liliana lose or to get any benefits.
