My Wife is a Sassy Queen

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. Hence, it’s not yours. My grandfather gave you a few shares and made you CEO, but he left everything else to me. Ergo, I am the actual owner of it.”

“But since I don’t want it. I am just giving it to you. Didn’t you always want it?”

“The Aprice Mansion was my mother’s wedding gift. It was always hers, and she passed it down to me. Since the three of you have been living there for years, I was too lazy to throw you out.”

“Aren’t you on a lucky streak? You have got a mansion and a company for free.”

Lydia was stunned.

Rose was stunned.

Lester, of course, knew, but he had already changed the will and transferred them to him.

‘How could she still be the owner?’

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Lester grumbled, “It belongs to me.”

Liliana laughed, “You mean you had forged my grandfather’s and mother’s will and taken over my property? How could you be so naive?”

Lester thought he was talking to Leon and not Liliana.

It made him realize, once again, why he hated this daughter of his.

“Don’t speak nonsense! Do you have any proof?”

Leonardo could not take it anymore.

“Mr. Aprice, I never knew you to be delusional. After tonight, do you still believe you are capable of taking anything from the Petrova’s? Do you even know how powerful the Petrovas are?”

Lester could not believe his ears. Mr. Aprice?

Rose finally spoke, “Leonardo, he is your father. You should not talk to him like that.”

Leonardo laughed, “Who do presume you are to educate me? Oh, wait, the mistress!”

Rose cried, “I am your mother.”

Leonardo laughed even louder.

Lester jumped in, “I am your father. How could you talk to me like that?”

Leonardo chimed in, “I am aware of that, biological father. The same way I know you fed my mother abortifacients to get rid of me.”

Lester trembled.

A small part of him had always lamented killing his unborn child.

Lester shook his head and clarified.

Things had already come to this.

Only the truth would work in their favor.

“You are not Anne’s son. You are my son with Rose. I never wronged you.”

Rose vigorously nodded.

Liliana rolled her eyes.

Leonardo cocked his head and asked rhetorically.

“Ah! You mean I am not the child you wanted to get rid of in my mother’s womb? But instead, I am the child you have been trying to use as a chess piece from the moment I was born.”

“I am your ace to steal my sister’s property. Did I get this right?”

Rose trembled, “Who told you all these lies?”

Leonardo sneered, “If I am your son, why was I named Leonardo Petrova? None of you are Petrovas. And you have the call to call it a lie.”

Rose pleaded, “Leonardo, listen to me.”

Liliana yawned and added, “That’s enough. You have already lost.”

The words – you lost – rang in their heads.

Liliana gestured to the butler, and he passed some documents to Rose.

Rose stumbled and fell on seeing what was inside.
