My Wife is a Sassy Queen

James stopped the live video and took a deep breath.

He was not satisfied with just that. He wanted to toss Alice in jail for at least a few years.

For that, he needed more evidence against her. He must disclose that she had drugged Mariana before. It was his secret weapon. He would only take it out later in court to catch them off guard.

He reluctantly called Liam and asked for his opinion.

Liam was already keeping an eye on his actions.

Liam told him to send the waiter to him. He would interrogate him as possessing a banned drug was a bigger crime than spiking a drink.

James followed Liam’s advice. Liam was the expert, after all.

Liam then asked him to keep an eye on Alice.

Since Alice had hit a dead-end, she was likely to take drastic action. If caught red-handed, she would be doomed.

Following Liam’s advice, James thought hard and kept watch on Mariana’s ward.

He sent one of his subordinates to follow Alice discreetly.

James kept himself updated on everything Alice was doing. When he heard from his subordinate that she had gone to a black market before heading to the hospital, he knew she was up to something sinister.

Two days ago, he would not have believed Alice could be so conscienceless.

James made the arrangements for Alice to be allowed in.

He begged Mariana for her cooperation. Mariana was more than happy to help send that bitch to prison.

They had the nurse adjust the IV line. It would appear connected to her arm without injecting anything into her bloodstream.

Then he turned his phone to airplane mode, turned on the video recorder, and hid it behind the lunchbox.

After the preparation was complete, James asked Mariana to act weaker than she was.

Alice, expectedly, fell right into their trap.

James left with the cops to give his statement and hand over other proofs. He also made sure to share a copy of it with his lawyer and keep a copy for himself.

Mariana vacantly watched as James worked precisely and accurately. It was a side of him that she had never seen before.

It also made her realize that he was only playing with her before. If he wanted to take revenge, he would have found a dozen ways to do so.

Her jumbled emotions got even more tangled.

On the other hand, old lady Preston was eyeing everything closely.

On that eventful day, she had been too excited. Liam was paying attention to a girl. It had never happened before.

When he confessed to dating her, she had grabbed that straw. She wanted a granddaughter-in-law and did not want to miss the only chance.

At the same time, if the kids were acting, she did not want to force them.

Feelings can not be forced or faked.

She was old enough to know that.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

That boy, James, was clearly in love with the girl. He seemed childish in his ways of going about it, but there was no denying the look in his eyes.

She had waited for confirmation from Liam, but nothing came. Even Kyle was tight-lipped about everything.

Sometimes, she worried about Kyle. Kyle was unnaturally cold and detached. Sometimes she felt that he was shrouded. Only he would decide who to let into his world.

Perhaps because of his upbringing, or perhaps his mother was like that. She would never know.

But Kyle was too mature for his age. He could read people well.

She wanted to go to the hospital to visit the girl, but Liam had stopped her. She then used Kyle as an excuse saying Kyle wanted to see the girl.

But Kyle saw through her at once.

He innocently declined, citing his lessons and that he would see her on the weekends anyway.

He proposed staying at Liliana’s place when she stayed there after discharge to better take care of her.

Old Madam Preston was speechless.
