My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Liliana ignored everyone and tilted her head to look at the police officers who had just entered the venue. Vincent was whispering something to them.

She guessed he was probably informing them that Aprices were not on the guest list.

“Right on time!” She said softly.

Lydia had come to her senses in the meantime and rushed to her to topple her to the ground.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Just as Lydia was about to reach her, Liliana sidestepped in the nick of time.

Jonathan held Liliana close as Lydia fell to the ground.

The crowd burst into peals of laughter.

Lydia was not reconciled and cried, “Daddy!”

Lester Aprice had wanted to keep a low profile. But he could not leave his daughter in the dumps. He had doted on her for so many years that giving her the best of everything and helping her out had become quite an instinct.

“How dare you hurt my daughter?” He roared at Liliana, “You insolent brat! Kneel and apologize to Lydia now!”

Liliana felt absolutely nothing. This was exactly how they had parted terms seven years ago and now they were back at the same junction and he still chose Lydia over her.

Nothing new, nothing unexpected.

But this time, she felt relieved.

All the affection she had for her biological father had long died when they had treated her worse than a slave after her mother passed away.

She had been worried that her heart would still ache on seeing him treat her like that while valuing his step-daughter so preciously.

But she was completely unaffected now. She even found their situation funny.

He was her biological father and the love of her beloved mother’s life. It seemed she no longer had to give him any concessions.

She could now fight back with a clear conscience.

“Mr. Aprice we seem to have a different understanding of what we call hurting others. The way I see it, getting out of the way when someone clearly intends to harm me is just good old common sense.” Liliana said indifferently.

The crowd burst into laughter once again. Even Jonathan had to bite the inside of his mouth to hide his smile.

Lester was stunned and nearly dropped Lydia who he was helping get up from the floor.

In his memory, Liliana had always been gentle and submissive. She would look at him with clear eyes filled with affection and some other hidden emotions.

Never in a thousand years had he expected her to call him ‘Mr. Aprice’, and talk to him with so much indifference.

He wondered how she had changed so much in a few years. But no matter what, he had raised her for so many years. She was obligated to submit to him.

He steadied Lydia on her feet and turned to Liliana to give her a piece of his mind.
