Mr. Villain's Lovely Wife

Chapter 98

“I was starting to think the Johnson family might actually prosper once their heiress takes over the company,” Liam said, letting Izzy rest her head on his arm. They were seated in the back of a car he had rented for their little escapade. “Turns out the woman’s got something in her head after all.”

“Hey, don’t say that,” Izzy replied, her tone light. Today had been one of the most enjoyable days she’d had in a long time. “Pamella’s always been the mean girl type.

“Right… of course…”

Liam chuckled softly. To her surprise, he suddenly leaned in and kissed her forehead. “Then my wife should keep doing exactly what she’s doing.”

Izzy gave him a tight–lipped smile before resting her head on his arm again. She resumed chatting, her words flowing effortlessly as the car carried them to their next destination.
