My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Chapter 29 – See the whole picture



Mariana was not reconciled, “You were the one who stopped us from retaliating.”

Henry shook his head, “You still don’t see the whole picture.”

Mer huffed at him.

Jenn asked, “I did not understand either. What happened when you were 16?”

Lil heaved a sigh, “She could not beat me in exams. So, she decided to get the first place by making sure that I will be incapacitated and unable to write exams. She is laughable. Truly!”

She sighed at the wasted potential and added, “The fact is she can’t touch me. She might not know it, but we know she can’t. Mer is the heir of Jacobsen. Vivian will toe the line with Mer. Even if she does not, Mer is flanked by a bodyguard all the time.”

She turned to Jennifer and said, “You, my lovely Jenn, do not have that luxury. You have a younger sister who is still in college, a grandmother in a hospital which the Stones have a few shares of, parents who are working in small companies, and a bunch of other relatives, childhood friends. Can you guarantee their safety?”

Jenn and Mer exchanged glances. Neither had thought of that.

Jonathan, on the other hand, was stunned. He knew Vivian was not so simple, but he had not known she was so vicious.

Once again he wondered who Liliana was. It was the second time she had said that she could not be touched. And it was clearly not some empty bragging.

Moreover, her knowledge of everything was indeed scary.

Mer finally muttered, “I did not think all that.”

Jenn nodded, “I can’t believe I did not think of my own family.”

Lil gave a weary smile that did not reach her eyes. “It would be exhausting to live if you think about all this nonsense. That’s why I don’t want to entangle you in my mess.”

Henry chuckled, “I think they got it now. See the silence.”NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Mer scoffed at him, “As if you thought of all that.”

Henry nodded, “I had the common sense to know that Jenn does not belong on our battlefield. As close as we are, she is not equipped to deal with the consequences. And she is a person with her own life, dreams, family, her own stubbornness, pride, and dignity. She is not a pet we can guard.”

Jenn rolled her eyes, “Yeah, not offensive at all.”

Henry gave her a look.

“I know what you mean. I am not dumb enough to think I belong in the upper class. In the beginning, I used to be embarrassed when you guys were so inclusive. It was hard to believe you all were so down to earth despite being loaded.” Jenn sighed dramatically and said, “I should go find some friends with whom I can discuss my pitiable salary and retirement plans.”

They all chuckled at that.

Jenn looked at Mer and said, “Perhaps Mer can accompany me after she bankrupts her company with her short-sightedness.”

Mer frowned, “Don’t jinx it!”

They all chatted and had their snacks until it was finally time to make an appearance at the Welcome bash.
