My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Jonathan on the other hand met with James.

“When did you come back?” He asked his bosom-friend.

“Yesterday. You were too busy being the trending topic,” James mocked.

“How is work over there?” Jonathan asked, ignoring his comment.

“It’s settled. But I need to send someone reliable to keep an eye on things.” James answered with a frown.

“Need any help?” Jonathan offered.

“No need. At least not yet,” James declined. “Your date looks familiar.”

Jonathan frowned, “What do you mean?”

James rolled his eyes, “Just that, literally.”

Jonathan looked at Liliana in the distance as he sighed, “It’s her. The girl I met at the beach when I was 13.”

James was shocked, “But wasn’t that Lydia?”

Jonathan shook his head.

James understood. “She is really something. Their entire family worked to make the perfect lie.”

Jonathan looked down at his wine glass thoughtfully without saying anything.

James realized something was off and blurted, “She is married with kids.”

Jonathan took a deep breath and gulped down his wine.

“Henry knows her. She is separated from her husband, not sure.” Jonathan answered.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“The girl that was Henry’s date. Do you know her?” James changed the topic.

“Andrew Jacobsen’s daughter and heir. Lil’s best friend.” He replied curtly.

“Lil’s best friend! Really?” James cocked his head and asked, “Are you going to play gatekeeper?”

Jonathan remarked sarcastically, “Do I even have the right?”

James laughed at his friend’s misfortune.

“Don’t think too much. Let’s go with the flow. Things might resolve by themselves.” James consoled him.

They looked at the stage and saw Lil and Mer chatting happily while Henry and Jenn were dancing.

Jennifer was obviously not trained and kept on stepping on his foot, and it looked like he was scolding her as her eyes were wet.

Jonathan looked at them for a while and realized it was a part of Liliana’s scheme. She wanted to present a pitiful Jenn so she would not get targeted by others. And even if someone was hostile towards her, they would come unprepared, giving Jenn a little edge.

He marveled at her foresight. She really looked at things full circle.

He looked back at them and saw that the few women she had mentioned while berating Vivian had approached them and they seemed to be talking animatedly. Cooperation perhaps?

He recalled she had said she cooperated with him out of her generosity and she seemed to mean it.

Smith Group was valued at a few hundred billions and he was one of the richest people in P city, how could she say she was being generous to him. Shouldn’t that be his line?

She caught him staring at her and winked at him.

That caught him off guard as he was embarrassed and nearly spilled his drink. He saw her trying to hide her smile.

There was something vaguely familiar with her and not just as the little girl he had met on the beach.
