My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Terry greeted everyone and thanked Liliana for the opportunity to give back to society.

He explained the Green Field orphanage project in detail.

The Green Friend orphanage was one of its kind for several reasons.

The building was built on wasteland-turned-fertile land before the authorities declared it liveable for children.

It used only clean and green energy and products.

Terry explained how everything went with the energy plant the Smith Group was planning that created electricity and gas from waste.

Each minute that passed by made Lester feel smaller.

He was shrinking, and his hatred for Liliana intensified.

He could not believe how she had lured Leonardo away from under his nose.

Rose was still in limbo, unable to figure out what was happening.

Lydia was dying of jealousy.

People around them kept chattering about Liliana, and she couldn’t take it any longer.

‘Why was that bitch so lucky?’

‘Why does everyone praise her?’

Jonathan kept a low profile and escorted Liliana everywhere. They were seated at the front when Terry was presenting everything.

Leonardo and Jake were also at the same table.

Jonathan kept feeding Liliana some fruits as she drank wine.

Liliana was too happy that day.

Her family was complete. Her hibernation was over.

She could openly own her identity from then on.

Perhaps because she was intensely happy, she kept drinking.

Jonathan took it upon himself to feed her while she drank.

The socialites cast jealous glances at them, but there was nothing they could do.

They could not match Liliana in family background, success, intelligence, or even beauty.

Not to mention Jonathan had made it very clear that they were childhood sweethearts.

Lydia, however, could not take it lying down.

She decided to ruin the party by exposing Liliana’s identity as their maid.

She called the butler and asked him to send Liliana’s old photos.

But she got a call back saying everything related to Liliana had vanished.

Lydia tried to cut off the power supply to make a scene. But she was stopped by security guards.

She tried to get to Liliana. But she was stopped again.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

She tried to be loud and embarrass her. But she was threatened by the guards.

Frustrated, Lydia drank and threw the glass on the floor with a noise. But the trained staff came and cleaned up so quickly that she did not even get to catch them.

It was as if they had prepared for all the temper tantrums.

Terry explained the project, and people could not help but praise him for his foresight and ambitious project.

He humbly gave all the credit to Liliana, who shook her head.

“I only said, how about…,” Liliana announced, “Everything else was Terry’s idea. Own it, Terry!”

“Also, the reason we brought it up here is – Green Field orphanage is my welcome home present for my little brother.”

Liliana’s words left everyone flabbergasted. Managing an orphanage was not a joke.

How could it be a gift?

The netizens were also in heated debate.

‘She just dumped a huge responsibility on him.’

‘It’s not even a company. It’s non-profit. Only work and no gain.’

‘Gee! The rich operate on a different wavelength than us.’

Leonardo, however, took it in stride.

“Thank you, sister.”

He looked at Terry and asked, “Do I get brother Terry as well?”

Everyone was amused at his words.

Liliana only shook her head.

“Terry is not a thing. I can’t decide for him. Ask him yourself.”

Leonardo only smiled as a plan formed in his head.

He needed people, trustworthy ones.

Finally, the official announcements ended.

The buffet started, and the drinks got poured more frequently.

The unofficial plan of the banquets is always relationship building and networking.

No one wanted to lose such a chance to build a relationship with Petrovas.

The Aprices, however, were miserable.

Mariana was having fun watching Lydia squirm.

James’s parents were also present and weren’t feeling all that great either.

They had burned bridges with Liliana by treating Mariana the way they did.

James had not even returned home yet.

James, on the other hand, kept an eye on Mariana.

When the dance started, he asked her straight away, and she accepted with a smile.

Their relationship had reached a weird point.

They were neither dating nor friends.

James had turned himself into Mariana’s assistant and nanny.

He had been taking care of Mariana since she got discharged and continued even when she started office.

Everyone could see the drastic change in their relationship, but none commented.

This time James was adamant about winning her over with his sincerity. He never once crossed the boundary.
