A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Chapter 66 He Doesn't Love You

James' office quieted down again. It was only then that the cold aura he emanated somehow dissipated.

Ronald's last sentence lingered in his mind. Was it really true that Maria had another man in her life before they got married? When he attended the party with Alina back then, people said the same thing about Maria.

Now, James couldn't help wondering who that man could be.

But there was only one thing he was sure of. Maria was still a virgin when she married him.

On their first night, he knew that she wasn't just acting. She was really shy and nervous. Then the next morning, he saw some bloodstains on the bed sheet. Judy had even sent a maid to clean up their room that day.

All of a sudden, James felt like his head was in a mess, particularly when Maria's charm and beauty flashed in his mind.

He was so annoyed that he stood up and kicked the chair away. He then walked to the fridge, took out a bottle of cold water, and drank a big gulp. The bottle was almost half empty. Somehow, he felt that the fire that kindled inside his body was extinguished a little.

Perhaps he had been too busy with work these past years that he had forgotten about his sex life. That was why he was easily affected every time Maria deliberately teased him.

Recently, the fire in his body seemed to have become more sensitive that it easily rekindled. If Maria would think of sneaking into his bed one day, he must be very cautious. He had to restrain himself to the extreme.

As soon as Ronald left James' office, he called Alina. "Alina, what the fuck is James doing? He doesn't even want to help his future wife and brother-in-law. He doesn't care that we're in trouble. Are you still going to marry him? You'd better leave him. He doesn't love you at all."

The last sentence just casually came out of Ronald's mouth, but it severely irritated Alina.

She had always known this fact, but she just didn't dare to admit it.

"Ronald Tang, you're such a lunatic! Whether James loves me or not is none of your business, you loser!"

"Why don't you just accept the fact that he doesn't love you? He doesn't even want to help you with such a little thing." Ronald was quite angry now, so he deliberately went against Alina. After all, if it weren't for her suggestion, he wouldn't have come here so early in the morning just to be angered by James.

Alina had just woken up when Ronald called. She couldn't help scratching her disarray hair and said, "You must have said something that you shouldn't have said. When I told him that I'd sue Maria, he was very supportive." She thought that Ronald was really a troublemaker and a loser.

"Really? You are the best, then. So go and ask your James for help. Don't bother me to beg your own boyfriend again. I don't want to be involved in this matter anymore. If you really have no other way, I will withdraw the lawsuit. I'm the plaintiff, anyway. I don't want Tang Group to be destroyed because of Maria Song." The truth was, Ronald felt threatened. If Maria exposed his videos to the public, Clayton would surely beat him. And most importantly, he wouldn't be able to continue living a playboy life. The gain was not worth the loss.

When he felt that he had finally vented his anger, Ronald hung up without giving Alina a chance to retort.

Looking at his phone, he shook his head and muttered in a low voice, "You are already thirty, and yet, you are still stupid. A great man knows when to yield and when to not. Do you have to wait for Maria Song to expose the evidence? You are the lunatic, not me."

Alina tossed her phone away, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling blankly. The more she thought about it, the more furious she became. She felt like her heart would explode because of the anger.

But she had to remind herself not to act rashly. Maria was not the same stupid woman before. She had to give it careful thought.

Hence, when Joshua called her to ask about the lawsuit, she said, "Please wait for a few days. We just need to fix some problems first."

She decided that she had to calm down and try a different approach. If it was true that Maria had solid evidence against her and Ronald, the Tang family would be in big trouble.

The next morning, a man stopped Maria on her way out of the hotel. "Excuse, Ms. Song. Ms. Tang wants to invite you for a cup of coffee."

Maria recognized the man at once. He was Alina's assistant.

Without saying anything, she got into the car of Alina's assistant.

She was supposed to go to Miracle Cafe today. And she didn't expect that Alina would also want to meet her at the same place. It was good for her, as she was able to save the taxi fare.

Inside the coffee shop, Alina was sitting in a corner. She was wearing sunglasses while reading the magazine in her hands. She looked like a well-bred lady from an eminent family.

Maria walked over and sat opposite Alina. She flipped her long hair backward and casually asked, "Alina, what can you say about the coffee here in Miracle Cafe?"

Alina glance at her, picked up the cup of coffee, and smelled it. "Well, this coffee shop is in the central business district and even across HL Group. Of course, it must really have something. " What she meant was that the owner of the coffee shop must be capable, and the coffee tasted good.

"Well, that flat white you've ordered is actually the specialty of this coffee shop. Indeed, you have good taste." Alina and Maria were both aware that they were just beating around the bush, talking about coffee instead of business.

But since Maria was not in a hurry, she didn't mind at all. She would wait until Alina was ready to tell her the purpose of this meeting.

Actually, the reason why Alina chose Miracle Cafe as their meeting place was that she was hoping to meet James by chance. She was not interested in the coffee at all. No wonder she didn't look so comfortable. Finally, she looked at Maria and said, "I'll get to the point. I already know that you are threatening my younger brother. I want to see your so-called evidence."

"Hmm...l've already expected this to happen. I know that once you find out, you will come to me. Don't worry. I have you on my WeChat contact list. I'll send you the screenshots later." Since she had guessed the reason why Alina wanted to see her, Maria had prepared the evidence on her way.

Seeing the confidence in Maria, anger surged up in Alina's heart. She growled through clenched teeth, "Maria Song, I just want to ask you, are you still a human? How dare you use your own son to win James' sympathy? Do you even deserve to be called a mother? You don't want others to talk about your dead child. But you yourself are using him as an excuse. What kind of mother are you?"

Maria was still doing the screenshots when she heard Alina mention her child. The smile on her face faded away at once. She raised her head and looked daggers at Alina. "Is that what James told you?" Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Alina enjoyed seeing the sudden change in Maria's expression. However, she had to conceal her emotion. She only guessed it, but it seemed that she was right. Maria was able to escape from James because of their dead child. She knew that James' heart could easily soften when it had something to do with his child.

Alina nodded without hesitation to answer Maria's question. "Well, he is also James' child. He feels sad every time you mention your child in front of him."

"You are not in the position to judge whether I deserve to be a mother or not. You are just an outsider, so you have no right to interfere. Arthur is my and James' child. Well, I've changed my mind. I won't exchange conditions with you anymore. If you want to sue me, go ahead. But I'll let the whole world know how filthy the Tang family is. Don't blame me for not warning you in advance. I don't mind staying in jail for a few days if it will mean the downfall of Tang Group. I'm even more than happy to do it."

Maria didn't care about Alina's threat at all. She wasn't afraid of going to jail anymore. After all, she had been jailed before. Since this was what Alina and the Tang family wanted, she would go with the flow. Anyway, she had nothing else to lose but only her life.

She didn't mind if James was not willing to help her. But she couldn't accept the fact that he had told Alina that she used her late son to win his sympathy. Although it was true, he shouldn't have let other people know about it. No one had the right to judge what she did.

Without waiting for Alina to say something, Maria stood up to leave. But before she walked away, she was so angry that she left Alina another bomb. "By the way, James told me not to take pills. But I was in a good mood, so I still took them. So if I were you, I'd behave myself. If I get annoyed, I

won't take pills anymore. If I get pregnant with James' child before you do, how can you win against me?"

Alina had pretended to be pregnant with James' child, so Maria just wanted to give her a dose of her own medicine. Maria could also be so scheming at times.
