My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Chapter 261 Crumbled



In the CEO’s office in the Aprice Group!

Lester had thought that the shock he had received in the evening was too much. But Liliana had dealt him another blow which he came to know only the next day.

He sat on his chair – he loved and had fought for many years for that position. But that morning, he felt nothing but gloom.

He stared wide-eyed at the resignation letters from over three dozen employees, veterans all. And letters – no, not a letter – declarations of relinquishing shares from five shareholders, all of whom had been in the Aprice Group since Leon’s time.

His assistant had briefed him that they had received equal shares of L&L designs for leaving behind the Aprice Group’s shares for him.

It felt like a massive slap in the face and a huge charity.

Suddenly, Lester laughed.

His laughter was full of darkness – it held anger, despair, defeat, and rage.

Oh! How he hated Leon and his disdainful eyes!

And Anne, the so-called gentle and pure Anne, had hidden many things up her sleeve. She was haunting him from down under.

He should have strangled her when she was alive.

He thought of Liliana, who looked so much like Anne and even more like Leon. Her eyes and her wit always reminded him of Leon.

Her patience and ruthlessness were on another level altogether.

He should have killed her in the cradle. He should have never let Leon raise and groom her.

Lastly, he thought of Leonardo! His pride, his ace, his hidden trump card.

He felt a shudder down his spine when he thought of Leonardo.

He had already asked his butler to access the DNA between Rose and Leonardo.

But deep down, Lester knew it was futile.

So what if he analyzed the DNA? So what if Leonardo turned out to be Rose’s son?

He had made his stance clear. He was firmly on Liliana’s side.

He laughed and laughed as he thought back on his life.

How had he failed so much?

Anne had been dead for two decades and had come to haunt him.

She had played her cards well. Instead of dealing with Lester directly, she stayed in the corner and honed her daughter as a weapon. In turn, Liliana raised Leonardo as her dagger.

Together, his biological children dealt him the fatal blow.

Lester choked on his laughter and passed out. His health had been deteriorating for months.

His assistant sensed something was wrong and came to his rescue.

In the hospital, his assistant saw Rose.

Rose was reading the DNA test report in her hands. She was frozen. Lester’s assistant shook her many times before she came to her senses.

She looked lifeless and dull.

The doctors gave Lester many antibodies to heal his damaged organs. But he was on limited time.

Rose went home on some pretext and met the butler. She asked him about her child’s grave, and she went there.

But only she knew that the grave only had ashes of burnt grass.

She knelt in front of the grave and cried.

Romeo found her there and brought her to his hotel.

Lydia received all the news, and she felt lost. She didn’t know whom to console – her father, mother, or herself.

How did Liliana defeat them all in one day?Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Lester got discharged after three days.

He had thought long and hard about what had happened. He had no choice but to admit defeat.

There was no point denying the truth.

His biological children disdained him. Lydia had always been an airhead.

His health was deteriorating.

Thankfully, he had the foresight to square away some of his assets.

He promptly divorced Rose and kicked her out of the house along with Lydia.

Rose was immersed in her grief about her child and didn’t realize when the blow came.

It shook her awake. But Lester threw the divorce certificates at her, and she had no choice but to leave.

Everything Leonardo had signed before seemed to be a farce. She had nothing left.

Lydia cried and screamed, but Lester was resolute.

Lydia had no choice but to accept the harsh truth – Lester was not her father. It was the most brutal blow since she had genuinely loved Lester.

To her, Lester had always been a superman.

Within three days, the Aprice family crumbled and fell with no chance to get back up.
