My Wife is a Sassy Queen

“Petrovas announce their heir publicly without actually specifying what it entails. It’s been a tradition since they were Kings. Leon announced your wife as his heir at her 5th birthday party.” Emma Miller-Smith informed a clueless Jonathan.

Jonathan’s suspicion deepened. ‘They want what belongs to me.’ Those were Liliana’s words. No wonder she was furious.

“I guess Lester and his mistress are too dumb to understand that all the Petrova property and resources belonged to your wife since she was 5. She could have claimed it all, including everything the Aprices are currently enjoying, on her 18th birthday. Even if Lester’s son is Anne’s, he does not get anything unless your wife wants to share.” Emma’s voice was filled with contempt for Lester.

Jonathan ignored her tone. He was only concerned about Liliana.

“If that’s the case why has no one ever heard of her?” He was curious about her anonymity.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Emma smiled, “Because she had more Leon in her than Anne.”

It was the first time Jonathan had seen his grandmother admire someone like that.

She continued, “She was protected since she turned 5 and became heir. Not that she wasn’t protected before. Any rich idiot can have bodyguards. Petrovas are protected by a family who have been their bodyguards for generations.” “The heir gets a shadow who never lets the heir out of sight unless commanded.”

She thought for a while and added, “The fact that she stayed back with Aprices and endured abuse, even worked as their servant for seven years and has not claimed her inheritance yet means she has something more important to do. Besides, even without the Petrova property she would be a force to be reckoned with. She was Leon reborn with women’s instincts.”

Jonathan was now confused, “You knew her.”

Emma nodded, “We all used to see her in birthdays and celebrations. Even at 5, she could debate with Leon and hold the fort longer than most adults. She also had a knack for business.” “After her mother passed away, she disappeared in oblivion. But I kept a lookout for her since she was betrothed to you. She had completed high-school at 16 and had been the city Valedictorian every single time. She disappeared after 16.”

She paused and added, “I don’t know how Lester called her back for marriage. I was prepared to use her mother’s name and last wish to bend her but surprisingly she agreed. A month after that she faked her death and disappeared.”

Obviously, Jonathan knew why she agreed, he asked, “How can you be so sure she faked her death?”

Emma raised her brow, “Because the Aprices all saw her die in front of their eyes. They even tried to marry off the mistress’s daughter to you. I refused, of course. As for how I know it’s fake. It’s common sense. She probably just wanted them off her trail. Also, she sent back the man I had sent to follow her in a sac with threats.”
