My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Lester froze at Leonardo’s question. He had not expected him to ask about her.

But then again, he thought of Liliana as his biological sister. He could not forget her that easily. Lester could not help but get angry at Liliana.

Rose did not know how to explain everything to Leonardo.

But she knew she had to nip his feelings in the bud.

“Alas, I was hoping you would not notice. Liliana, god bless her, she got married. She did not tell us anything and gave us some money to sever the relationship. We did not know what she was trying to do, but she threw a tantrum. We had to listen to her.”

Rose faked a sniffle and added.

“Later, we found that she had painted herself as a victim and married into the Smiths. She simply did not want to associate herself with us. She even used the Smith family’s power to humiliate us at numerous events. We have tried to mend things with her and gave in at each turn, but she despises us.”

Rose started to weep sorrowfully at this point.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Lester finally saw her acting prowess and was impressed.

He mentally slapped himself for being deceived by her all these years ago.

Suddenly, he thought of Anne. She was never fake.

But he shook himself in time. Anne’s mere presence made him feel small.

Leonardo was shocked at the revelation.

He mumbled, “I can’t believe she would be like that.”

Lester nodded, “yeah, as a father, I feel like a failure that my kid turned out that way.”

He shook his gloomy feelings and added, “Anyway, as I was saying. I am not young anymore. I want to teach you the ropes and leave everything to you. When do you think you can join?”

Leonardo frowned and said, “I have to find a house first. I am still jet-lagged. Let’s see next Monday?”

Lester was not happy at his flippant attitude but nodded all the same.

He needed Leonardo to take over Leon’s assets.

He had been managing most of them as Liliana’s guardian, but it was a ticking time bomb.

She could come and claim it at any time.

Thankfully, he had altered the will and destroyed the original.

Everything will go to Leonardo. And he will transfer it to himself after that.

Leonardo took a large sum of money from Lester to buy a Villa and hire some maids and butlers.

Finally, he settled in the new villa but did not tell anyone where he was staying.

He shook off the spies sent by Lester and Rose effortlessly.

The butler and the maids were hand selected by his secretary and had been with him for years.

He had flown them back with him on a work visa, and all of them were adamant turn into permanent residents and eventual citizens.

Those people were the ones Leonardo had met over the years at different junctions, and they had mutually helped each other.

After a quick dinner, Leonardo settled in his study and sent a message – Ready to go, joining on Monday!

He continued to look at the text and wondered when he would be able to talk to that one person face to face.

It had been many years, and he was dying to meet that person. It was their vocation and a reminder.

His thoughts went to Lester and Rose, and his face clouded with anger and disgust.

Leonardo had seen many shameless people over the years, but none had come close to the level of shamelessness Lester and Rose depicted.

Lydia was an airhead. At most, she was a nuisance.

Leonardo took a deep breath and shook his head to ward off his thoughts.

He took a quick rinse, settled in bed, checked the phone one last time for a reply, curled his lips downward in disappointment, put aside his phone, and went to sleep.

Three minutes later, he was fast asleep.
