My Supermodel Wife

"No, thank you." Lilia's short answer stunned Sara for a moment.

She really didn't want to discuss anything with Sara. The woman was untrustworthy, and she was almost certain that there was a trap behind their 'talk' tonight. The timing of Sara's appearance in this bathroom was too good. That woman must have been following Lilia from the hall on purpose.​​

Lilia wondered if Sara was actually a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t who enjoyed being humiliated and humiliated by others. Lilia opened the bathroom door a little wider than before. But Sara didn't intend to just let her pass.

"Why are you in such a hurry to come back? Would you like to return to accompany Young Master Jean right away?" Sara asked in a mocking tone. "Then, you are way more foolish than I thought! Just because you were able to attend tonight's event, do you think the Widjaya Family would acknowledge you? Seriously!"

Lilia looked at Sara in surprise. Was that woman's brain completely made of cotton?

With a deep sigh, Lilia turned around and faced Sara. Her gaze was filled with sympathy, as if she was staring at a poor kid who wasn't that smart.

"Looks like there's a problem with Miss Sara's brain. Shouldn't Miss Sara go and see a doctor?" Lilia asked politely.

Finally, she understood why Sara and William were perfect for each other. Sara had a brain problem, while William had a vision problem. The two of them really matched!

Sara frowned at the sarcasm in Lilia's voice. She squinted and spoke through her teeth. "Lilia Pangestu, you don't have to act pretentious in front of me. Do you think you are better than me? You can come here tonight, but you are still nothing for the Widjaya Family!" she said in a harsh voice.

The third grandchild of the Hartanto family was sure that Lilia somehow managed to seduce Jean. If not, how could that ice-hearted man be so gentle and caring towards a woman like her?!

Lilia sighed once again. She didn't care enough to clear up the misunderstanding that woman had. "Let me tell you something, Sara. You are too proud that you cannot see your surroundings. It's no wonder your plan always fails spectacularly."

Sara's face turned bright red. She clenched her hands tightly, as if restraining herself from attacking Lilia. "That is none of your business! Lilia Pangestu, what is it that you can be proud of yourself? Do you think you are worthy of a man like Jean Widjaya?!"

Sara pointed her finger at Lilia with the most disdainful expression ever.

"You are just a cheap artist from the entertainment world! You are the one who should remember who you really are!" Sara mocked her.

"Hmm ... cheap artist, huh?" In contrast to Sara's expectation, Lilia calmly smiled and returned her words in a casual voice, "Isn't your boyfriend the same? I'm amazed you don't mind dating a 'cheap artist'. I want to know what the Hartanto family thinks about this."

Lilia turned around and opened the bathroom door wide. She didn't want to waste her time with that woman.

But Sara suddenly lunged forward right at that moment. The sound of Sara's high heels hitting the floor was loud. Lilia automatically turned her head with a wary expression. She was ready to fight back if Sara dared touch her. But to her surprise, Sara fell to the floor.

In Lilia's eyes, Sara had literally fallen without pretending. She didn't know why Sara was doing this, but she had a hunch that something bad was going to happen. That premonition came true as Sara continued her actions by letting out an ear-piercing scream.

"Ahhh!"

Lilia immediately realized what Sara was trying to do. This bathroom was not far from the hall where everyone was. Sara's high-pitched screams could easily reach the hall, attracting guests to come and see what was happening.

In just a few seconds, there was a clattering sound from the hallway. Lilia lowered her gaze and stared at Sara, who was still sitting at her feet. The woman held her cheek with one hand and put on a pitiful face. It's clear what Sara was trying to do here. She's trying to slander Lilia— again!

"What is this?!"

"What happened?!"

The restaurant staff and members of the Widjaya Family were the first to reach the bathroom. A few steps behind them were the other guests who were curious about the scream.

They were all stunned when they saw the situation in the bathroom. Lilia stood in the middle of the room, while Sara fell down at Lilia's feet. Sara's current appearance indicated that the woman had just been slapped by Lilia.

As soon as James saw Lilia's figure, his expression turned dark. He galloped towards Lilia with a gaze filled with anger. Fighting between women was not uncommon. But if Lilia used violence, that would be too much!

When Sara saw James approaching them, she immediately put on a pitiful face. The woman looked up and looked at Lilia with teary eyes.

"Lilia, William has become my lover! It's his decision, but why are you treating me like this? Even if you slap me, he won't come back to you! Don't you understand that?" Sara asked in a trembling voice.

James's steps stopped when he heard Sara's words. Then he shot Lilia a knife-sharp gaze.

"Lilia Pangestu! What does all this mean?! Who is William?!" James demanded in an angry tone.

"Brother James, I can explain…" Lilia started speaking in a calm tone, but Sara immediately interrupted her.

"Mr. James, please don't blame Lilia! She was only blinded by jealousy for a moment! I know that Lilia didn't mean to hurt me!" Sara's words were like adding oil to the fire.

James's anger flared even more when he heard that. He trotted over to Lilia and gripped her arm tightly.

"Lilia Pangestu, it seems like you are becoming arrogant because you can marry Jean and become part of the Widjaya Family. Then, let me remind you that I'm only allowing this marriage because that's what my brother wants."

James's low voice was filled with hatred and disgust.

"But I will not tolerate any action that tarnishes the name of the Widjaya Family. You think I can't break your marriage and kick you out of the Widjaya Family? No matter what Jean says, I am still the head of this family!"

"Brother James, please listen to me." Lilia returned to trying to explain this situation. "I didn't…"

"Don't bother explaining!" James's grip felt as strong as iron and started hurting Lilia. "Everyone here can already see what's going on!"

Lilia's irritation began to take over her. "Is this how you lead the Widjaya Family?" she replied scathingly.

"…What did you say?" James narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip. The man's gaze said that Lilia should apologize for what she said.

However, Lilia didn't intend to back down. If she didn't defend herself now, James would continue to misunderstand her.

"I asked, is this how Brother James leads the Widjaya Family? By deciding on something without looking for evidence first?" Lilia met James's gaze boldly.

"You…" James couldn't refute Lilia's words.

"What's going on here?" Irene's firm voice broke the ambiguous atmosphere.

Everyone turned their head towards Irene who was walking from the direction of the hall. The middle aged woman was accompanied by Sasha. The guests that filled the hallway immediately stepped aside, opening a path for Irene and Sasha. Behind them, Jean followed with a grim expression.
