My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Chapter 225 Retaliation



Alice Moss was getting agitated.

She had tried to post something about Mariana on the internet, anonymously or using paid trolls. But none worked.

She also tried to get around the problem by posting something about the Jacobsens or Smiths. But nothing worked.

It was as if someone was carefully monitoring her activities and stopping her.

Her frustration turned to shock and disbelief when she got a notification about James’s new post.

James had sued her for assault.

Alice laughed out loud. It was probably a joke.

But her laughter died out when she received a call from her father.

They had received a lawyer’s letter from James.

James also posted the clip that showed her kissing James, followed by him pushing her away. She had sent that misleading picture to Mariana.

At that time, James violently pushed her away and threatened to sue her if she tried to kiss him again.

The clip had clear audio that showed as much.

An expert verification result verifying that the clip had not been tampered with was in a follow-up post.

The second follow-up post included a lengthier clip that had events before and after the shorter clip. It painted a clearer picture for suspicious folks.

It showed their chance encounter and him trying to avoid her before their argument. She had kissed him suddenly without permission. After threatening her, James rinsed his mouth and brushed until his lips swelled.

​​

The clip made it clear that Alice had forced herself on James.

The other clip was from Liliana’s birthday that showed James looking elsewhere with a complicated expression when Alice suddenly kissed him and quickly detached herself before he could react.

James had made it public that he was suing Alice Moss for assault and defamation.

Alice could not believe that James would go so far.

She then re-posted it and added their previous pictures when they were dating.

James was waiting for that moment.

He could not point out what had happened between them previously without provocation from her side.

Alice had pointed out their past relationship, called it a lover’s spat, and hinted at an ‘other woman’ being the 3rd party causing the dispute.

Alice’s nonsense gave him a reasonable excuse to air her dirty laundry in the pretense of clearing his name. James was determined to tear off her hypocritical mask.

Alice was smart enough to know James meant business when he had posted those videos.

Hence, she had rushed to the Millers. She wept by Mrs. Miller’s feat and wailed until the older woman trusted her.

She had included her pictures with James with his mother’s approval. She had egged her and made it look like it was her idea.

Thus any backlash from it would become Mrs. Miller’s headache. She was going to guilt-trip her into helping her.

As expected, soon after Alice’s post, Mrs. Miller commented on it and tagged James scolding him for airing their dirty laundry in public. All couples fight. She told him not to bully her daughter-in-law.

It gave everyone a new perspective on their family.

The wealthy families were known for their internal conflicts and interests. Miller family’s squabble proved the point.

James laughed mirthlessly on seeing his mother’s post.

He called Jonathan and asked him out. Jonathan had been watching their drama. He had planned to call James after work, so he agreed to meet him in their usual spot.

When Jonathan arrived at their private reserved box, he found an already wasted James.

He was drinking as if he was on a mission to kill himself.

Jonathan asked him to slow down.

James laughed sarcastically.

“I should have slowed down when I was annoying Mariana. I should have slowed down when I started falling for her. I should have slowed down when I bedded her.”

James cried. James and Jonathan had been friends since they were in kindergarten. He did not need to hide in front of him.

“Instead, I slowed down when the time came to take responsibility. I slowed down when Mer got hurt. I slowed down when she was in trouble. When she needed someone, I caused trouble while some other man helped.”

He added bitterly.

“What’s the use of slowing down now?”

Jonathan did not ask him to slow down after that. James was in too much pain. He needed an outlet to come to terms with it.

He changed the drinks to ones with lower alcohol content and made him eat some food and non-alcoholic beverages for hydration.

Jonathan knew James would not want to go back to Millers. So, he brought James back home with him.

James had passed out, and he was mumbling in his sleep. He kept repeating Mer over and over again.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
