My Wife is a Sassy Queen

As usual, Liliana was unfazed by everyone’s reactions.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

She calmly explained.

“If you were a fan of my work, you would have called me Mrs. Liliana, not Mrs. Smith. I have never introduced myself as Mrs. Smith.”

Jonathan made a face at that but did not interrupt.

“Moreover, your choice of words was peculiar – ‘aspire to be a famous designer someday and hopefully establish a brand’. At L&L Designs all of us, including myself, aspire to produce notable works and develop our skills further. Recognition for our work and establishing the company have always been secondary. Our goals do not align, and you would not have been a cultural fit.”

“You proposed a toast to me. Toasting to someone else at the start of the banquet is considered bad etiquette and disrespect to the host. While I am sure that it was unintentional on your part, it does not change the fact that your focus on this party was to get your leg inside L&L Designs.

Otherwise, you would have waited until after the cake cutting.

Besides, with the clear animosity between Lydia Aprice and me, anyone sane would not have approached me as her friend. Which means you two are not friends and you used her to get a chance meeting with me, while she used you to provoke me.”

“Lastly, you should not have asked me to review your gown at a banquet. If you had run into me in the hallway, or even in the washroom, whether deliberately or accidentally, in a more secluded setting, it would have made sense. Asking with such fanfare is a clear indication that you were trying to use me to springboard your career.”

Alice looked at Liliana in shock.

Everything she had said was true.

Lester was displeased. That was exactly why he had always hated Liliana. She was too much like Leon.

The guests were speechless. They looked at her in fear and awe.

She was too good. She was the definition of brilliant.

Mariana merely smiled and rolled her eyes before exiting the banquet. The show was already over.

James gaped at Liliana and then followed Mariana.

Jonathan felt proud. He finally understood what his grandmother had meant when she had used the phrase, “Leon with woman’s instincts.”

His wife was too brilliant, he must up his game. That was the only way to match her and protect her.

Alice felt tears trickle down her face. This time there was no animosity or anger in her eyes. Just despair.

The waitress also looked at Liliana and stood frozen. She had volunteered to get the top in the end. But she was too embarrassed to ask. Even the tips of her ears had turned red in shame.

Liliana looked at the waitress, fixed the top which was slightly torn by the bouncer, and placed it in her hands.

“Whoever designed your headband has good skills. Ask him or her to go to the P city library and find the librarian Miss Henley. She can provide the required materials to study for the entrance exam of Apex University. It has the best fashion design course, scholarship, and placement options.”

The waitress’s eyes welled up. “Thank you, thank you so much!”

Liliana nodded and said, “There is nothing wrong with grabbing an available opportunity. As long as you don’t step on others to do so. Go on now!”

The guests were even more stunned.

Liliana had proven her prowess and debunked every negative rumor about her, again.

She seemed to have a flair for it.

Alice apologized, “I am sorry.”

Liliana nodded, “That’s alright. You have good taste, Miss Alice. The moment you design something because you want to from the bottom of your heart and not because you want something out of it, you will become a good designer.”

Alice bowed and left as she said, “Thank you! I will try.”

As Liliana and Jonathan made their way to the exit, Lydia tried to slander them again.

“Did you plan all these, bitch?”

Jonathan snapped, “Hope your tongue if you don’t want to lose it. Did you think she founded L&L designs and brought it to its current glory all on her own without talent or brains? Did you really think you were anything in front of her?”

Lydia paled, but Jonathan was not done, “She does not bother with you because you are not worth it. She was only trying to show her respect to Mr. Aprice, otherwise, I would have had you thrown to the wolves for your insolence.”

With that, Jonatan held Liliana by the waist and left.

The rest of the guests left one after the other as well. The show was already over.
