Sweet Wife in Hidden Marriage

Chapter 35 I Will Teach You Well

Lillian, who was selecting reading materials, paused, and her look was sad. She was holding a book of Grimm's fairy tales, in which Cinderella, Snow White, Lettuce Girl, and the Frog Prince all had a tortuous and poignant love story. Of course, they all had a happy ending.

The premise was that they all had the right to pursue love and be liked. But Lillian didn't have it.

She put down Grimm's fairy tale in her hand and picked up The Little Prince. She would tell this story.

Two days later, when Lillian returned to Oxdrift, it happened to see Sebastian simply packing up his luggage and going out.

She thought he was going on a business trip again. He told her that Joanna had just been discharged from the hospital and needed someone to take care of her, so he would not return to Oxdrift during this period of time.

Lillian immediately understood that he would live with Joanna.

When Sebastian disappeared behind the elevator door, she silently closed the door, changed her shoes, walked into the living room and lay down on the sofa. It felt good to live alone in a big house.

Lillian’s negative reports had never stopped, and she appeared in entertainment reports from time to time. While people spurned her, the ratings of the show did not drop but rose.

It was like a TV series that provoked all sorts of complaints, but when it was air time, the ratings were still very high. The producers had profited a lot from the scolding. They were not afraid of complaining, but afraid that no one would complain.

At the same time, Lillian’s program on the radio station had been suspended for a while. The radio station wanted to sue her for failing to comply with the contract and receiving the TV station's

programs. It asked her to either terminate the contract for compensation, or quit the TV station's program to compensate for the liquidated damages, and wholeheartedly do DJ for the radio station.

Neither result was what Lillian wanted. When she was an unknown newcomer, she would occasionally take part in shows outside to make extra money. At that time, the station did not hold her accountable. But now she was famous, it actually held her accountable.

Besides, she had read the contract carefully, and there was no clear stipulation that she could not take over outside programs. In fact, the radio station wanted to completely restrain her and not allow her to make profit for others.

Stephen supported her in the lawsuit and the termination of the contract. After all, the salary of the radio station was not high for her. As for finding a lawyer and the required fees, he would help her.

Lillian was worried that once the contract was terminated, she would not belong to any company. After finishing the TV program, she would lose her job.

After Joanna was discharged from the hospital, she rested peacefully in the villa named Blossom that Sebastian gave her. Apart from work, Sebastian spent all the time with Joanna in Blossom Villa.

Joanna was lying on the sofa with an iPad on her lap. She tapped the screen to browse the web with one hand, and used a toothpick in the other to fork a piece of sweet fruit, taking a bite from time to time.

On the balcony, Sebastian was talking on the phone.

In the kitchen was Auntie, who was newly hired to take care of Joanna's diet and daily life. She walked out of the kitchen in an apron and asked Joanna, "Madam, do you want to drink chicken soup or fish soup tonight?"

On the day she was hired, Joanna told Auntie to call her 'Madam' and call Sebastian 'Mr'. Auntie thought they were newlyweds, and felt that there was nothing wrong.

Sebastian was there at the time, and he did not object. So Joanna was full of joy.

Joanna could only eat light food during this time. Now she could drink some chicken soup, and of course she chose it.

Sebastian hung up the phone, walked in and said, "Bring her fish soup."

Joanna looked up at him and pouted dissatisfaction, "Sebastian, I want to drink chicken soup."

"You drank it yesterday, and today you should drink fish soup." His tone was irrefutable. He cast a look at Auntie, and she walked back to the kitchen with comprehension.

Joanna was dissatisfied on the surface, but she was happy in her heart. She enjoyed Sebastian's control over her. If he belonged to her completely, how perfect would he be? Thinking of this, the pupils under her long eyelashes suddenly shrank.

"What are you looking at?" Sebastian sat down beside her, forked a piece of fruit in the fruit bowl with a toothpick and put it in his mouth.

"Sebastian, the news of the past two days has been reporting that Lillian is going to go to court."

Sebastian's preparation to fork a piece of fruit stopped suddenly, as if he had no appetite. He put down his toothpick and frowned slightly.

"Why do you care about this news?"

Joanna sighed, "I'm stuck here and bored. Even if I don't care, I can see these reports whenever I browse the Internet."

She paused and said, "Sebastian, if Lillian really goes to court, will she terminate the contract or quit Archibald's show?"

"I'm not her. How would I know?" Sebastian picked up the newspaper and read it, replying lukewarm.

Joanna sat closer, leaned against him and said, "Sebastian, would you like to help Lillian with this lawsuit?" Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Sebastian looked at her suspiciously,"Are you willing to let me help her?" Last time he just wanted to announce Lillian's identity, and she swallowed sleeping pills. Now why was she willing to let him help Lillian?

"I just think that if Lillian terminates the contract, Archibald will definitely sign a contract with her. After all, she is from the Palmer family. Now that she has a reputation, she should join your company and stand on the united front with you. Moreover, there are first-line artists in the field of film, television and song in your company, which just misses her, the trump card in the host industry. Lillian is very suitable, isn't she?"

Sebastian frowned, and he also thought of this. If Lillian was signed by Archibald, they would have more opportunities to be together. He felt bored at the thought of this.

He didn't blatantly help because of his scruples about Joanna's reaction. In the past two days, he had arranged for the secretary to contact the lawyer. Regardless of the outcome of the lawsuit, he did not hope that Lillian and Archibald would reach a cooperative relationship.

The secretary found out that Archibald had contacted a gold medal lawyer in the legal world, and he was also preparing for Lillian's lawsuit.

This game was not just for Lillian, but also a secret fight between him and Archibald. Since Joanna didn't object, he didn't need to do it in private.

"There is really a lack of good moderators in the company." Sebastian followed Joanna's meaning.

"Then sign Lillian. Between you and Archibald, I don't think she has the right to choose an outsider." Joanna continued to agitate.

"I will ask the secretary to contact the lawyer." Sebastian ended the discussion on this topic.

Joanna took his arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and smiled satisfied. She stared at the front and suddenly became calm.

'Lillian, don't rely on Archibald to promote you. As long as you join Sebastian's company, you won't have a say. As a senior, I will teach you well!'

Joanna's eyes grew deeper and deeper, and she smiled evilly.
