A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 152

James didn't turn around immediately. He calmly took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it to his mouth, and lit it with a match. The assistant took the matchstick James had extinguished. He would throw it later if he got a chance to see a trash can.

Then, James turned around and stared at Maria, who was still leaning against the car door. His eyes were full of malice.

'Gosh, I'm doomed!'

Maria thought to herself. Her first reaction was to run away, but she wasn't able to move. James took a few drags on his cigarette and stubbed it out. He then threw it to his assistant and strode back to her right away.

Soon, she was captured by him.

James grabbed her wrist with one hand and opened the rear door of her car with the other. He then squeezed her into it rudely despite her screams and struggles. After getting in, he closed the door and pressed his body against hers.

"Get out!" he shouted at her driver.

The driver was scared out of his wits upon hearing James' thundering voice, so he got out of the car immediately, leaving James and Maria alone in that narrow space in the back seat.

Now that only the two of them were left in the car, James instantly ripped Maria's dress off with his big hand.

Maria's facial expression drastically changed upon realizing what he was doing. She wondered if he was going to have sex with her in the car.

She quickly grabbed his hand and pleaded in a trembling voice, "James, I'm your best friend's girlfriend. And you are also engaged to Alina."

Maria still hoped that it was not too late for her to admit that what she did was wrong. She knew that she shouldn't have provoked him.

James retorted with a straight face, "Even if you are pregnant with Lawrence's child right now, I still won't let you go!" What was more, he still suspected that Lawrence and Maria were just putting on an act in front of him.

At this moment, the phone in his pocket began to vibrate.

Maria heaved a deep breath and reminded him in a soft voice, "Your phone. Answer it first."

However, James just took out his phone and pressed the power button. He turned it off without even checking who the caller was.

Maria knew that she didn't have any way out this time.

It was raining cats and dogs outside, but it didn't affect them having sex inside the car.

In the hotel, the founding anniversary party of Tang Group had to end early. In the lounge, not only the members of the Xi family and Tang family were there but also the members of the Song family, including Carolina and Daniela.

Alina sat on the chair and sobbed quietly with her head down. She didn't say anything.

Carolina was frowning while Daniela just watched the scene with a gloating expression in her eyes.

Since James hadn't come back yet, Sebastian went out to call him. Without Sebastian's presence in the lounge, Judy had to comfort Alina on his behalf. "Alina, I will ask James to give you a proper explanation of what happened tonight."

"This must be Maria Song's trick!" Miranda chimed in with a trace of hatred in her voice.

She carefully thought of the photos shown on the screen just now, and she was convinced that the woman in James' arms was Maria.

She didn't know that woman in the video, but since she knew that Maria was in the photos, she knew for sure that the video was also Maria's scheme.

Maria's name was mentioned again.

And everyone's facial expression changed upon hearing it.

When Elaine saw the look in Judy's eyes, she quickly explained to save the Song family's face. "Mrs. Xi, Maria is no longer a member of the Song family. We cut ties with her for a long time now. So I have no objection on whatever you want to do with her."

"I can't. I'm so busy recently. I have a lot of endorsements and a few trips. I don't have any free time." Daniela believed that she was now at the peak of her career. She was very busy every day. Her grandfather could wait for her visit anytime, but the job opportunities wouldn't wait for her. She must grab them.

Carolina sighed inwardly and looked at the hotel. Seeing Miranda and Alina at the lobby waiting for Clayton, she sincerely said, "If possible, we should help Maria more in the future." For her, the Song family really owed Maria so much. Maria was their youngest sister. They should have supported and protected her.

Daniela gave her a strange look. "Carolina, are you insane? Maria has just ruined our cousin's engagement. You still want me to be nice to her? Are you nuts?"

"But hasn't Alina also destroyed Maria and Mr. Xi's marriage before?" Carolina asked. There was always karma. Sometimes it just needed time. Alina had cried so sadly today, but Carolina didn't feel sorry for her at all.

She was more worried about Maria's safety. James was a proud man and had never made a fool of himself in public. He wouldn't let Maria go this time so easily, would he?

When the driver drove the car over, Carolina asked before getting into the car, "Where are you going next?"

"I have an appointment with Mr. Jin. You go first," Daniela answered while waving at Carolina. Mr. Jin was a big shot. She couldn't wait to meet him.

Carolina was about to get in the car, but she stopped. She turned around and asked with a frown, "Mr. Jin of TF Group?" "Yep," Daniela answered.

"He is not a good man. Don't meet him alone. Take someone with you," Carolina reminded her kindly.

"Carolina, what do you mean? Are you envious of my success? This is such a good opportunity for me. How can I bring someone else? Go home now. Just leave me alone here." Daniela hated Carolina's nagging, so she pushed Carolina into the car, urging her to leave immediately.

But Carolina didn't move. She looked at Daniela expressionlessly and asked, "Don't you feel it's weird that you've become famous overnight?" In the past, Daniela was just an ordinary vlogger and not even that popular. But now, she didn't only break through, but she also rapidly approached the entertainment business.

"I'm not the only person who became famous overnight. What's so strange about it?" Daniela sneered. She never thought that her sudden rise to fame was a big deal. There were too many people in the entertainment industry who had become instantly famous.

Carolina knew Daniela very well. Since Daniela didn't worry about it herself, she decided not to insist any more. She believed that she had already done her part by reminding Daniela. If she talked too much, Daniela would be pissed off. Hence, she shut up and got into her car.

When Daniela saw that Carolina got in the car and was about to leave, she sneered inwardly, 'Carolina, are you getting jealous of me now?'
