My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Mariana hugged the old lady and added, “Don’t worry, Grandma. I am not easy to bully.”

“Besides, I already know what kind of people they are as I have seen how they treated Kyle. Their behavior at Liliana and Jonathan’s house was a tell-tale.”

“So, please rest assured that I will handle myself and protect Kyle to the best of my abilities. We already have a Villa where we will stay. Liam selected each maid and worker after extensive background checks and research.”

“We will be fine. And I won’t allow anyone to take advantage of me. These are some things I need to learn anyway as I will take over my father’s role.”

Madam Preston nodded in approval.

That was exactly what she wanted. A pushover would have ended up ruining the family.

They talked to everyone and introduced everyone to everyone.

Kyle left Madam Preston, Liam, and Mariana after a short introduction and went to Liliana.

Jonathan held him up and talked to him a bit. After drinking some juice, Kyle went to Mariana’s parents and stayed with them for the entirety of the banquet.

Mariana’s mother couldn’t be happier.

Kyle was always friendly with them, but it seemed he had acknowledged them as his grandparents very quickly.

Andrew looked at James and Liam and shook his head. The kids were doing what they wanted.

He could create a fuss, but his meddling would only cause them mental pressure. It wouldn’t change their mind or solve the issue.

He kept quiet and introduced Kyle to his friends.

The Preston family tried to talk to Mariana’s parents to establish a business relationship, but he quickly denied them.

Andrew rejected them politely, “Please, talk to my assistant and schedule a meeting. It is my daughter’s wedding banquet. It’s highly inappropriate to talk about business in this setting.”

But Julie and Jessi were adamant about getting a recent project from them.

They continued to babble and talk.

James was keeping an eye on Mariana and his parents. He had promised Mariana that he would take care of her. He meant to keep his promise.

He was done being incompetent and not taking responsibility.

He would do what a son-in-law should do and when the time came, he would sweep in and propose. It might take a few years, but he was adamant about waiting. It would give him time to prove his grit.

It was his fault that they were in such a predicament. And he was hell-bent on proving he was worthy of Mariana.

He went to her parents and said, “Miss Jessi, you are barking up the wrong tree.”

Jessi was stunned. Before she could retort, James added, “I am Mariana Jacobsen’s assistant. I am overseeing all new partnerships. Please don’t bother President Jacobsen at his daughter’s important event. He has already delegated those tasks to his juniors.”

“As a junior yourself, I am sure you wouldn’t want President Jacobsen to come out of his partial retirement for you, do you?”

Jessi and Julie could not retort to James’s questions.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

If anything, they felt a chill down their spine.

If they continued to ask Andrew about a partnership, it would be in poor taste. It would project them as money grubbers trying to climb the social ladder.

They mumbled a quick apology and said something about the misunderstanding before they departed.

James snorted at them and turned to Mariana’s parents.

“Uncle, don’t worry about them. I assure you I will take care of everyone trying to take advantage of Jacobsen Textiles.”

Mariana’s mother wasn’t happy with James.

She retorted, “You don’t need to bother. It’s not your job.”

James lowered his head and said, “I am sorry, Aunty. I am doing this of my volition. As Mariana’s assistant, it will become my job when she takes over Uncle’s position. I am trying to accelerate the process so you and Uncle can retire and be at peace. I have my selfish motives here. Please don’t deny me this opportunity.”

Before his wife could speak, Andrew stopped her.

“Alright, do what you will. I will leave it to Mer’s discretion. You kids would decide for yourselves. There’s no need for us old people to meddle. The floor belongs to you youngsters now.”

James mumbled a – thank you – and walked away.

Andrew whispered to Merideth to calm her.
