A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 341

"The cafe is in the off-season; I want to throw an event to attract more customers," Maria said.

"Okay," James agreed.

Maria got up and knelt on the bed, slipping her arms around his neck as she straddled him. "Do you have any good ideas?"

"Let me think about it." James had never gotten involved in the business of the cafe before.

"How about you ask the planning elites of your company to come up with an event plan for me?"

Hearing this, James looked at her with a faint smile. With one arm, he grabbed her waist and pulled her closer. "Will you give them a bonus?"

"Sure, no problem!" she promised, patting her chest. She didn't intend on having a free lunch either.

"How about I come up with an event plan?" James suggested.

A flicker of surprise crossed Maria's eyes. "Are you serious?"

"Of course...not!" He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

Maria was speechless. How could this man joke around like a kid?

Before she could react, she found herself being pressed down onto the bed. Leaning over her, James untied the belt of her night robe and whispered, "Beg me."

"Beg you... for what?"

"Beg me to come up with an event plan for you."

Maria couldn't believe the nerve of this man. Sinking her nails into his back, she raised her eyebrow and asked, "Can I refuse?"

"No, you can't." James liked seeing her cry and beg while she was lying under him.

In the best coquettish tone she could muster, Maria fulfilled his demand by saying, "Honey, help me, please! Can you really bear to see such a huge gap between us?"

James' eyes pierced into hers, as if he was thoroughly enjoying every single moment of her act. He replied indifferently, "I'm already used to it. The gap between us is one that can never be reduced. Even if you have a whole lifetime, you won't be able to achieve the amount of wealth and power I have now." There was indeed an enormous difference between the amount of power each of them held, but the frankness of his statement was overwhelming. Feeling like a knife had stabbed her heart, Maria pulled a long face. "So basically, you're looking down on me."

James was a little stunned to hear that. He wondered which part of the things he had just said had given her that idea.

"So you agree?" Maria pressed, seeing that he didn't say anything to rebuke her. Her mood was sinking lower and lower.

James leaned forward and kissed her ear. "There is a way for me to prove that I don't look down on you." In fact, it was the most effective way.

"What?"

"Remarry me," he said.

For a moment, Maria was stunned. It was the first time in a long time that she had heard these two words from him.

She didn't know how to react, so she just smiled and said, "Fine, I believe you now."

Since he was willing to go so far to prove that he didn't look down on her, she believed him.

Seeing her calm reaction, James couldn't help but be a little upset. Did she not want to get remarried?

Well, no matter. He knew that he could make her willingly agree to it sooner or later.

'If he just added a few more words like "I'm serious" or "I really want to remarry you," I would believe what he said. But he didn't.'

Then, realizing what she was hoping for, she couldn't help but laugh at herself. 'Maria, you're only with him because you want to use him. It doesn't matter whether you get remarried or not. Why are you thinking so much about it?'

"Mia," James called out gently.

She didn't even understand why he was complaining about such a trivial thing. She was a woman who was attracted to men. It wasn't a big deal if she appreciated good-looking men. Besides, if he saw a beautiful young woman, wouldn't he ogle at her? If he said no, Maria wouldn't believe him.

"Like what? What other things do you want to do?" James asked lightly, but there was a hint of danger in his voice.

Maria yawned and said helplessly, "Look at me. What would I want to do? I can't even handle you every night. How can I handle those younger men?"

"Maria." James suddenly turned to her and placed his hand on her waist. "I feel like you're dissatisfied with my performance." There was a sour taste in his mouth. What did she mean by "younger"?

"It's good that you know it. That's why I'm asking you to restrain yourself," Maria said, tiredly opening her eyes and stroking his cheek with her hand. "Be a good boy."

James raised his hand and grabbed hers, stopping her hand in mid-air. "Do you think I'm too old?" he asked.

Desperate to go to sleep in peace, Maria had no choice but to give in. "How could I? Mr. Xi, you're only in your early thirties. Besides, you look way younger than that. You're full of youthful vigor.

I'm so jealous of you." He was not satisfied with her answer. "Maria..."

"James, you're being annoying! Can I go to sleep now?" Maria interrupted sharply, finally losing her temper.

James pressed his lips together in displeasure. Why was she angry with him?

Maria tugged the quilt over her head and burrowed herself under it. "From now on, for every word you say to me, you have to give me one hundred thousand dollars! Wait, no, make that a million!"

"I have to give you one million for every word I say? Maria, why don't you just marry me instead? In that way, you will get half of my property. Think about it," James said. 'How could she threaten me like this?' he thought bitterly.

Maria murmured to herself, counting the number of words he had said. When she was done, she stuck her head out of the quilt. "Mr. Xi, you said thirty-three words just now, so you have to give me thirty-three million dollars. Don't forget to transfer the money to me tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I will give you thirty-three million dollars. But whenever you are free, you should consider my suggestion," James said, tapping her nose affectionately.

"Eighteen words, which means another eighteen million dollars!" This was a really cool game! She had effortlessly earned fifty-one million dollars in the blink of an eye.
