My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Lester finally managed to get hold of Liliana and Leonardo in the buffet.

“Leonardo, I have something to discuss with you,” Lester authoritatively added.

Liliana told her assistant to escort them to a private room for an audience.

Reluctant and angered, Lester, Rose, and Lydia still followed Alice. They wanted to talk to Leonardo, and this was the only way.

It was Liliana’s turf, and she had made it clear that she was unapproachable.

“How dare she treat us like this? That bloody servant!” Lydia roared.

As soon as they were on their own, Lydia began to rant.

The anger they had suppressed the entire evening and reluctance to admit what they had seen spilled forward.

“What was that bitch saying about Leonardo being her sibling?” Rose asked.

Lester took a deep breath and replied with gritted teeth. “They don’t know the truth.”

“This works in our favor. Leonardo can ask for his inheritance.” Lester added.

Rose wasn’t reconciled with the events that evening. “Did you know about this mansion?”

Lester was annoyed by her questioning.

“What does it have to do with you? It’s not yours.” He snapped.

Rose could tell that Lester was unaware of it.

‘Just how rich was Anne?’ Rose wondered once again.

Their greed knew no bounds.

Even after two decades of Anne’s death, they were worried if they had managed to con her. Realizing they might not have succeeded was not something they could calmly accept.

They sat there arguing and staying quiet for a long time.

As time went by, they were even more miffed as Liliana had made them wait that long.

On the other hand, Liliana, Leonardo, and Jonathan sent all the guests away with parting gifts.

Lastly, only Liliana, Jonathan, Leonardo, Mariana, and James remained in the venue.

Liliana had already sent Jake back to his rooms to rest. He was getting on age, and she was worried about his health. He didn’t need to flit around people who were of no consequence to him.

Their assistant also left. The catering staff was cleaning up, and another group was cleaning everything.

Liliana yawned loudly and stretched her limbs.

“I must be getting old now. It was tiring.” She said with a yawn.

Jonathan rubbed her head, and she looped her arms around his neck. She rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes.

“We still have to deal with our biological father,” Leonardo said, interrupting her.

Liliana’s good mood was gone.

She snarled, “Let him wait.”

“He has taken his privilege for granted long enough. It’s time he learns what it means to be a pauper in front of royalty.”

James asked, “Do you want me to go?”

Mariana added, “I am not leaving.”

Liliana shook her head, “Up to you!”

She gestured to the high table and walked up there with Jonathan, “Let’s sit over there.”From NôvelDrama.Org.

The rest of them followed.

Finally, she asked the butler to bring the parting gift she had prepared for Lester.

Then, she asked him to bring the Aprices forward.

The time had come for the face-off between them.

Lester, Rose, and Lydia had never received such bad treatment in their entire life.

They were locked in the private room for three hours.

And by that bitch Liliana, no less.

Lester felt his entire life was crumbling down.

He had worked so hard, schemed so much.

Yet, when he closed his eyes, he could see Leon’s smug face, eyes looking at him in disdain.

He hated that when he was alive.

He could not wait to tear Liliana apart. Only then will he feel better.

Lydia was not faring any better.

She could not reconcile with the fact that Liliana had so much. Leonardo had treated her like a Goddess, while he had not even mentioned them.

Jonathan Smith had acted like her assistant the entire evening.

How did their gardener become ex-force? And her grand-uncle?

She hated everything, but she was clueless about what to do.

Rose, however, had calmed down.

As much as she hated it, she had to admit that goody-two-shoes Anne was indeed someone more powerful than she had imagined.

Since even Lester was unaware of so many things, Anne must have planned things in advance and given her power and property to Liliana.

She wondered if her life would have been any different if she had treated Liliana well. But that ship had sailed, and there was no point dwelling on it.

Her main concern was Leonardo.

It would be difficult to tell him about his parentage.

They could kiss all their plans goodbye.

But Leonardo was so successful by himself. As long as he accepted his parentage, they would live on money for the rest of their lives.

It should be simple. There were paternity tests to prove it.
