My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Vivian looked at Liliana as if she had been 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 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 on verge of bankruptcy at the age of 16 and it now has expanded to three cities and she has gotten a Doctorate on the side all the while dating her high school sweetheart for 11 years.

Mrs. Henley started her own company at the age of 18 with the savings from her part-time jobs and scholarships and is now successful enough to sponsor 50 underprivileged children while her son volunteers four hours every weekend in the city orphanage.”

She continued as Vivian’s face paled. Vivian has not expected such a response, “Last I checked there was no rule in Smith Group which forbids them from having a partnership with married people or with people with kids or married women or women with kids or married women with kids. Why then have you signaled me thus, Miss Stone?”

The gossip mongers who had started tattling just as Vivian pointed at Liliana were dumbstruck.

Liliana was not affected at all. She retorted calmly proving the point – a clean hand needs no washing.

Vivian was seething inside as she exclaimed, “Don’t act all high and mighty! Do you deny that you met Jonathan in Maple city?”

Liliana smiled coldly, “Oh! How could I forget it? After all, no mother would forget a woman who pinched her little girl’s arm, accidentally pushed me down the escalator, deliberately fell on others so they wouldn’t be able to hold my daughter as she was about to fall down the escalator. You should count your blessings that I have not sued you yet.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Vivian exclaimed, “So, you agree that you trapped Jonathan to sign the contract with you using the incident.”

Liliana clicked her tongue, “How ignorant! Smith Group has been trying to collaborate with me for two years already. I did not trap him, I signed a contract with him out of my generosity. But of course, how would you know anything about that?”

Liliana taunted Vivian at the end.

Vivian was unable to take it anymore and exclaimed, “You bitch. How dare you? You are just an unloved daughter of…”

Liliana cut her off and sneered, “You are right. I am just an unloved motherless daughter and yet here I am. You have two loving parents and yet here you are. If you don’t have any arguments to make Miss Stone, please clear the way. It’s time for the opening dance.”

Jonathan coldly stopped Vivian from rebuking, “Miss Stone, don’t make me call security. And don’t ever try to feign a relationship with me ever again.”
