The Vicious Wife

A tycoon

"Roseanne, I think it's time that you show them their rightful place. I mean, look at you now. Why are you even afraid of seeing those scum? If you want I will cancel my filming and accompany you to South Korea! Let's face-slap that family with money! Hmph!"

Roseanne let out a chuckle at the sight of her best friend's over dramatic gestures. "Lisa, you really should stop directing films and start a career in acting instead. I think it would suit you better."

Lalisa Manoban pursed her lips before rolling her eyes at her friend. "You are trying to change the subject here! I will accompany you to see them next week! Let's see if they will dare underestimate you once they see who you are now."

Seeing Roseanne turn silent at her words, Lisa did not continue to voice out her opinion anymore. She poured another glass of red ginseng tea and gave it to Roseanne. "Alright, have some ginseng tea... Rosie, you really should stop drinking like this ah." She let out a sigh. "Here, my grandmother specially cooked this and asked me to give this to you. This will help with your hangover."

Roseanne continued to drink the tea silently and ate the rice cakes that Lisa gave her. She looked at the time and grabbed her phone from the bedside table next to her.

"I called your secretary before I came today," she heard Lisa mutter. "You're lucky I decided to visit you today. Or else no one would take care of your drunk ass again."

"Thank you, Lisa," Roseanne softly said before smiling at her.

"Alright, stop giving me that smile of yours. I will go make some porridge for breakfast."

Roseanne watched as her friend walked out of her room before the smile on her face disappeared. She furrowed her brows while clutching her head. Lalisa was right. She really should not have drank that much last night.

She let out a long sigh. Her face slowly turned pensive. Seven years ago, her grandmother Ye was also helpless. She was not able to help her. In the end, she ended up hating her for what happened.

However, years later, Roseanne realized how dumb she was for hating the only person who loved her in the Li family. She felt deeply embarrassed for what she did. She had not even considered calling her to apologize in the past.

Now, she could only regret everything and wish that her grandmother could forgive her.

She then thought about the events that transpired seven years ago.

As the young miss of the prominent Li family, Roseanne's life was not what everyone expected it to be. Her stepmother, Tang Ling, never allowed Roseanne to develop her skills and talents. Since Lily was born with a weak constitution, she forbade her to attend events under the pretense of being caring towards her. Everyone applauded her stepmother for her kindness.

Of course, even Roseanne was fooled and thought that her stepmother truly cared for her. That was until she met the boy whom she was supposed to marry, Kang Daniel. He was the young master of the Kang Household, another prominent family in the country.

The Old Masters of the Kang and Li families were once comrades. Because of this, they promised to have their eldest grandson and granddaughter marry. And that was Kang Daniel and Roseanne Lilian. At first, her stepmother, Tang Ling, raged when she found out about this arrangement. She wanted her daughter, Li Jihyo, to marry Kang Daniel, not the foreigner, Roseanne. However, with Roseanne's grandmother's support, Tang Ling was helpless and was forced to accept the engagement.

Roseanne thought that everything was fine, that fate had favored her for giving her such an outstanding future husband. Who would have thought that it was just her wishful thinking?

Together, Tang Ling, Li Jihyo, and Kang Daniel thought of a scheme that would even render her grandmother useless. They thought of a way to embarrass her and make her the laughingstock of the whole country.

Roseanne let out another sigh, refusing to think of the things that happened on her supposed wedding day anymore. She then went to the bathroom and took a quick shower before going to her kitchen to eat whatever her best friend had cooked.

"Come, come... give my new porridge recipe a taste. I learned how to cook it when I was in Thailand last weekend. Hahaha. Roseanne, I met this businessman who looks really smart. I want to introduce him to you...I feel like you two will like each other..." Lisa continued her endless chatter. She started telling Roseanne everything about her trip abroad.

Roseanne nodded her head as she silently listened to her friend. She was already used to Lisa's chattering.

"I was thinking of visiting South Korea, Gangnam next week for a film that I am working on. The company is looking for an Asian actress that we could use. Do you want to come with me so we could settle the Will and you could move on with your life?" Lisa asked, concern written all over her face. She knew how the Li family still affected her best friend, and this was the only way that she could think of helping her.

"Alright," Roseanne answered while resisting the urge to tell her friend that she had long moved on. Although she didn't want to see anyone from the Li family, she wanted to see her grandmother for one last time.

"Really?" Lisa asked, excited. "Like, are you sure?"

"Why not? I am not afraid of them. Plus, I need to take care of the business we just acquired."

"You mean the Arison's?" Lisa laughed. "I always knew you had a hidden agenda for agreeing to marry that ass. Hahaha..."

Roseanne only shrugged at her words. Liam Arison wanted to marry her because of the Anne family's influence. He thought that by marrying the heiress of the Anne family he would be able to save their subsidiaries abroad. He thought that he could hide his illicit relationship with his younger cousin and childhood lover.

Did he think that Roseanne Anne Lilian could become a tycoon at this age if she were dumb?
