All Chapters of My wife is a sassy Queen: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Terry escorted Vivian inside, who was still grumbling about those lowly people. For the first time since their acquaintance, Terry felt like he was seeing the real Vivian. He had been over the moon when she had called back to confirm she would be his date. She had declined him when he asked. Perhaps she was waiting for a better offer. She had been unapologetic when he said he would have to cancel his date. Now, he realized she only used him for his invite. No wonder she had not been bothered that she was messing up his plans. For her, they were simply people unworthy of her concern. He vowed to distance himself from her in the future. It ought to be easy since he was always the one who had been vying for her attention. After all the guests had arrived, a waiter came to inform Jonathan. The stars of the show began to tidy themselves. Henry and Mariana made quite a stir. They were both quite catchy. Only a few people in the upper class recognized Mariana as she had left for Map

Vivian looked at Liliana as if she was wronged and pleaded aloud. “You already have kids. Leave Jonathan alone.” Liliana laughed out loud. “Miss Stone, you are greatly mistaken. Married women with kids can have a business of their own. It’s not a choice between kids and careers. We don’t live in the 18th century after all." She spun Vivian’s words in a much different route that she was too stunned to react. She paused for effect as she added. "Just like all the admirable ladies out here - I can see Mrs. Cadewell, who had been managing her husband’s company rather admirably.” “Miss Jessica, who got married last month, had taken the helm of her father’s company which was on the verge of bankruptcy when she was only 16. It has expanded to three cities now. She also managed to get a Doctorate on the side. All those times, she was dating her high school sweetheart, now husband, for 11 years.” “Mrs. Henley started her own company at 18 with the savings from her part-time jobs and sc

Jonathan listened thoughtfully and agreed that it was most likely the case. He could see it was within Vivian's character, even though he had never paid attention to her. Liliana looked at him for a while and asked, “What’s your story?” Jonathan looked at her in surprise, “My story?” Liliana smiled, “Everyone has a story.” Jonathan thought for a while and answered, “I don’t have any story.” She looked him in the eyes and asked, “I can see the sadness and longing in your eyes. What makes you sad?” He tried to maintain his composure and not blurt out, “You!” As she spun back to his arms, he answered, “I was stupid and blind and got fooled by others. I missed what was most precious to me.” She asked, “Is that why you channeled all your energy into work?” He nodded, “There isn’t anything else to do.” She pitied him. In so many ways, he was still the 13-year-old brooding boy who seemed too sad. Too lonely! She looked away to contain her emotions, but he caught her overwhelming

The collaboration of L&L Designs and Smith Group, their press conference, and the welcome bash caused quite a stir. The buzz lasted a week. The internet was on fire. The P City’s upper class could feel the tremors of change. The societies were eager to get their hands on the products of L&L Designs. Social media was divided and kept things trending. Vivian’s lies were exposed, and she was hiding in her house, trying to think of various torturous ways to get back at Liliana. The Jacobsen had a quiet party at their home as Mariana and Liliana both had returned to P City for good. They adored the twins and were happy to get acquainted with Henry, Jenn, and others. The Aprice family was thrown into disarray. They had thought Liliana was dead. Not only was she alive, but she had also firmly established herself as the founder of L&L Design and cooperated with Smith Group without anyone knowing. Lydia Aprice got wind of it abroad and flew back right away. She had only been acting like

After Jonathan and Liam finished talking, Liliana introduced the little guy. “This is Kyle Preston, my Godson. Kyle is three days younger than Jo and Li. I met Kyle’s mom when we were both in the hospital. We both had a complicated pregnancy and had the same doctor. She was a great woman. I am quite indebted to her.” Jonathan offered a handshake to Kyle just like he had done with Liam, rather than treating him like a child. He was adept at reading people and could tell Kyle was intelligent and far more mature for his age. Expectedly, his action created a good impression on Kyle. “It’s nice to meet you, Little soldier,” Jonathan said. Kyle held his hands on his smaller ones with what was his best attempt at a firm handshake. “The pleasure is mine, Mr. Smith. Hope we have an amicable relationship as your contributions to the city’s economy are outstanding.” Kyle said, which stunned Jonathan. “The pleasure is all mine. I will ensure I don’t break any laws. It is bad for business
