My wife is a sassy Queen のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 251 - チャプター 260

Liliana looked at the crowd that had stood up in honor of the Petrova lineage and slightly bowed back courteously.“Please be seated, everyone. I am already very honored by your presence.” She said matter of factly.“We invited everyone over to celebrate the return of my brother. P city is our home, and historically it has been the place where for generations, we Petrova’s have toiled our blood and sweat.”“From the protectors of P city to the primary drivers of its economy, knowledge, and independence, as a family, we have always been closely integrated here.”“My Grandfather named me his heir when I was five. In an unprecedented move, he passed over my mother - his only child, the apple of his eye.”“I was too young to know what it meant. I only remember bits and pieces of it.”“One thing, however, I have always remembered. Even though I did not understand it fully as a child, it struck a chord and always stayed with me.”“He told me that in P city, the word ‘Petrova’ means power, p

Lester tried several times to get close to either Liliana or Leonardo. But each time, his efforts were thwarted by others.Rose was not faring any better. She could tell the people were coming her way deliberately, but she had no proof.Lydia was increasingly angry, but Rose kept a lid on her temper. They could not afford to make themselves look uncultured in such a company.On the other hand, Liliana and Jonathan flitted around the venue introducing Leonardo to everyone.They stopped close to two women, and Liliana continued the introductions.“Brother, meet Mrs. Cadewell. Her management of Cadewell Textile is very commendable. You should learn from her.”“And this is Miss Jessica. She got married half a year ago. But she is still maintaining her husband’s anonymity. I envy you.” She joked and added, “That’s an impossible feat for someone as successful. Try to emulate that.”“Lovely ladies, this is Leonardo. He is still young. Please guide him.”Leonardo greeted them both and said af

The butler escorted Lester, Rose, and Lydia to the hall.Liliana, Leonardo, and Jonathan were seated on the high platform. Mariana and James were behind them.The butler gestured to Lester and the others to sit below the platform in general seats.Lester was fuming.Before he could speak, the butler handed him a parcel.“Mr. Aprice, please accept your parting gift. Our mistress has prepared it personally. I hope you will like it.”Lester had no choice but to open it.The evening had been proof that he had to play according to Liliana’s tunes. He begrudgingly opened the parcel, and his jaw nearly dropped.“What’s the meaning of this?” He snarled.But everyone could see his voice had equal fear and anger. Liliana blinked her eyes and played innocent.“Why? I am giving you what you have always wanted.”“This was mine, to begin with.” Lester snapped.Liliana cocked her head. “Is it now?”“As far as I can recall, Apriice Group was formerly the Petrova factory. Are you a Petrova?”“No. Hen

Mariana laughed and did a happy dance. She had wanted to see this for twenty years.Leonardo picked her up and spun her around. He kissed her on the lips.“Mer bear, are you happy?”“Leo, you brat, I will hit you if you kiss me again.”“I told you I will have my revenge. Why did you kiss me so much when I was young?”“You were a baby. You are not a baby anymore. Don’t you dare kiss me again! And put me down.”“But I promised to pick you up when we meet again.”“Leo, you brat. Why do you remember everything from thirteen years ago?”“You shouldn’t have teased me when I was a child, Mer bear.”“When did I tease you?”“You used to pick me up and kiss me all the time.”“That was me expressing my love.”“Think of this as me expressing my love.”Before Mariana could react, he spun her around until she became dizzy.“Did you practice this, little brat?”“Yeah! I knew you would be heavy. I had to practice.”Leo teased and stole a kiss before running off.“Lil, send him abroad again.”Leonardo

The next day! Petrova Mansion!Liliana woke up close to noon with an aching body. She was alone in bed. When she came to her senses, she could hear the water running in the bathroom.She drank some water and tried to find a robe to wear. She got out of bed and hobbled to the wardrobe to get a robe.Too tired, she lay back in bed, staring at the ceiling. She thought of their party and smiled.Her family was complete now. She did not have to hide any longer.Then she thought about how she had taken the initiative and how they had gone at it relentlessly.“Oh! Dear! God! I am so ashamed.”She blurted out loud.Jonathan came out of the bathroom just in time to hear those words. He burst out laughing.Liliana threw a pillow at him, but it fell close to the bed. Jonathan picked up the pillow and leaned toward her.He kissed her on the forehead, “Good morning, wife!”“Is it still morning?” She asked.“It’s close to noon.”He looked at her intensely. Liliana did not know what to say or do nex
