Chapter 55 – Husband against wife
Rose sneered seeing that Liliana was staying in one of the Smith family villas.
No wonder Lydia was losing her head. She had been coveting Jonathan for ages, and now Liliana showed up out of nowhere and started to live in Jonathan’s villa with her two bastard children.
Rose wondered if either Jonathan or Liliana remembered that they were married.
From the looks of it, it did not seem to be the case.
The wheels in her head started turning and she knew the first thing to do was break Jonathan and Liliana apart.
Jonathan’s distaste of his forced marriage was well known.
She would send Lydia to instigate Jonathan for a divorce all the while pointing out that Liliana had given birth to someone else’s children.
If Jonathan had developed feelings for Liliana without knowing she was his wife, the news of being cuckolded would turn the husband against his wife for sure.
Rose had used the same trick with Lester and Anne.
She could do the same with Anne’s daughter as well. With that thought, an evil glint appeared in her eyes.
The next two months went by peacefully.
Having suffered humiliation during the inauguration, Vivian and the Aprices kept a low profile.
L&L Design was booked for the next six months and they had to stop bookings for the time being as they were too full.
Keeping quality in mind, Liliana had refused to hire sub-par designers and insisted on taking limited orders rather than having too many orders which would result in sub-par hiring of employees and low-quality results.
The public could hardly complain, so they only lined up and started placing orders for half a year later.
To keep up with the fashion trends, they only had to book slots and when the time came, they would discuss the design ideas and make alterations before designing anything.
Jonathan, not unexpectedly, did not renew the contracts with people who were quick to accuse him without any evidence.
He especially filtered out people who had said something nasty about Liliana.
While he did not terminate contracts right away, any keen observer could see the trend.
Jonathan was unfazed and he simply said that he did not want to work with people who lack judgment and play fence.
After things dialed down a bit, Lydia tried to make an appointment with Jonathan but was denied entry in the Smith Group.
She wanted to teach the receptionist a lesson, but Rose’s words came back to life and she restrained herself.
In order to create a good impression on the Smiths, she needed to curb her anger and always be pretentiously sweet and gentle.
However, she couldn’t hide the disdain or the vileness in her eyes.
All the staff of Smith Group, even the receptionist and the security guards were specially recruited. They could easily tell what kind of person she was.
They did not give her an inch despite their smiles and polite response.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
