My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Time flew by, and soon it was close to Liliana’s 29th birthday.

Jonathan had prepared a surprise for her and had asked the kids to keep quiet about it.

Nathaniel had nodded his head in appreciation when Jonathan cornered the three kids to talk about their mother’s birthday.

Jonathan could only shake his head. Li was still observing him. Although he had accepted him wholeheartedly, he was still keeping an eye out.

Jonathan felt bad for his son, but he did not mind. Being vigilant was never a bad thing.

Liliana had, as usual, forgotten about her birthday. She had been curious about what the kids were cooking with Jonathan, but she did not pry. It was good to see them bonding.

Jonathan had shared his plans with Mariana, who had made a few changes, and was on board with the overall idea.

These few months had brought Mariana and Jonathan unexpectedly closer.

Mariana had, as suggested by Jonathan, had reached out to the person in charge of their collaboration with Smith Group, and had prepared a very bold and lucrative proposal.

Unable to take the decision, the person in charge had been compelled to bring it up in the Smith Group’s weekly managerial meeting and to Jonathan.

It had expectedly elevated Mariana’s reputation. She was Andrew Jacobsen’s daughter and heir of Jacobsen Textiles, but she had behaved as a newbie. Not that she lacked her inborn and cultivated nobility, but she had not used her status or her connections.

Jonathan had treated her as a newbie and grilled her, which had stunned the manager, and as the news spread, the entire Smith group and Jacobsen Textiles.

However, along with that news and a few gossips, the news that Mariana had bagged the deal had also spread around.

Everyone was keen to see how she fared.

At the same time, there was one person who was looking at Mariana hoping she would fail.

James had told his family that he was dating Mariana which had surprised his family, but they had all been happy.

Being in the same business circle, they knew the Jacobsens. Mariana had a good reputation and good connections.

She had everything they could have wanted in a political marriage, so it was great news that James was dating her.

But this news had not sat well with James’s ex-girlfriend, Alice.

Alice had tried to worm her way back to James, but James had refused her vehemently and had not bothered to give her face in public either.

Unfortunately for Mariana, through no fault of her own, she had become Alice’s target.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Alice had tried to sabotage one of the Shippings of Jacobsen Textiles, but she had not expected their security to have another backup and even their backups had backup.

It had cost her quite a lot of favors and a huge amount of money to keep herself out of it. But it had alerted the Jacobsens and made any further schemes that much more difficult and costly.

Finally, her chance came when she saw Mariana having a celebration party with her colleagues.

She bribed a waiter to mix recreational drugs in fresh lime juice ordered by Mariana.

Unsure of what had happened, Mariana chugged down her lime juice to keep herself from getting drunk on cocktails.

But after some time, she started to feel hot. She had never taken drugs before, but the sensations she was feeling did not leave much room for doubt.

She immediately called Liam as she knew he was quite free those days.

Liam rushed back to her, but he was not close by, so it took some time.

On the other hand, James completed his meeting and rushed to their celebration unaware of what was going on.
