My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Terry did not show Vivian any mercy, “Why would you do this to yourself? You had everything – you had a loving family and rich parents who fulfilled all your wants, you were smart and intelligent – someone capable of being a brand, being someone important on your own, you were alumni of the best high school in P city, and one of the best Universities in the world.”

Terry finally hit the nail on the head, “Was it so awful that Liliana was slightly more intelligent than you, she was slightly luckier than you in love, she had a better background than you?

And if you were constantly comparing why did you not compare that she was practically an orphan after her mother passed away?

Why did you not compare that she was living with an abusive stepmother and stepsister who were leeching off her inheritance while making her work as their servant?

Why did you not compare that she had more responsibilities on her young shoulders that even now are greater than that of Jonathan Smith, the supposed richest man in P city?

Why did you not compare that she has a 300 years old legacy to maintain that will forever ensure that she can never prioritize herself?”

Vivian had tears in her eyes as she suppressed her sobs in her palm.

“Stop! Please stop!” Vivian cried.

Terry was sick of her attitude and continued, “No, Vivian! She was never wrong. She worked hard and gave the benefits and rewards from her efforts to others who were less fortunate than her.”

“What did you do? You tried to rape, and yes, as disgusting as it sounds, you did try to rape her husband. And for what? Petty high school grudge?”

“She did not even retaliate for that. Despite always having proof against you. You tried to hurt her daughter – an innocent 6-year-old. And she still did not do anything. Her retaliations were more like small pranks before. She only really retaliated when you tried to harm Mr. Jacobsen and her old gardener.”

“Vivian, look at yourself in the mirror and see whether those acts were worthy of you. You were the heiress of Stone Group, well-educated, well-established, and accomplished. Do those cheap and dirty methods really resonate with you? Did you really let your jealousy and ego eat away everything good and noble about you?”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“No! Please! No!” Vivian threw the plates, unable to hear him.

But Terry merely added, “Fine! But I will say this one last time, Vivian, go and see if the girl that was my classmate and friend abroad is still there lurking beneath the hideous person you have now become. Go and see if the real Vivian, who was kind and compassionate, is still there somewhere.”

With that Terry left her alone to cry and vent.

He paid the bill, paid for the damages in the private room, arranged a ride for her, and left.

Terry brought a bottle of whiskey and food and locked himself in his apartment, drinking away his lingering feelings for Vivian Stone.

He had known Vivian when they were in college abroad. She was a year younger than him but they were in the same class.

She used to be a nice person who was kind and helpful to everyone. Not a push-over by any means, but fun and easy-going.

She was well-liked by everyone.

When he came back, he could hardly believe it was the same person.

Terry shook his head.

No, he would no longer think of Vivian Stone.

She was not the person he had fallen for.

His plan was simple. He would drink away all his feelings and never think of her again.

He picked up his phone and sent her a small text.

“Goodbye, Vivian. It was my honor to meet you abroad. I hope you find your past self again. Have a good life!”

Terry did not wait for her reply and directly blocked her.

There was no point keeping that route open.

Unbeknownst to Terry, a week after that, Vivian sent a letter to Liliana apologizing for her past behaviors.

Vivian had thought long and hard about her future. Before meeting Terry, she was still holding onto resentment and looking into ways to get back at Liliana.

But, eventually, Terry’s words had haunted her. Deep down, she had always known Terry had liked her. And he had fancied her for who she was, and not the heir of Stone Group.

That was the reason why she was so affected by Terry’s words. When he had not confessed that he liked her, it was easier for her to deceive herself and look down on him. But after he had said so much, she could no longer deceive herself.

Using whatever money she had left, she uprooted her family and went abroad to start over.

They did not have much having lost everything – their company, her clothing line, their overseas business. But, Vivian had always been smart and had made backup plans within backup plans.

Hence, even after paying the hefty penalty after losing the lawsuit, they had enough to make do for half a year if they lived frugally.

Vivian would, in a decade, go on to re-establish her boutique and create a name for herself.

Thanks to Terry’s intervention, she had decided to start over and take a new leaf.

She or her parents never stepped into P city again.

Perhaps that was the difference between a truly smart person and a fool. She had enough sense to see the truth and stop herself from complete decay.

Unlike the Aprices who were truly lost.
