A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Chapter 303 A Trap

Maria went straight toward the front passenger seat and got in his car.

Maria was confused when she saw that James was staring at her unblinkingly, but she didn't say anything since he was having a phone call.

In the end, James said on the phone, "That's all." Then he hung up the phone.

He asked in a flat tone, "Why did you dye your hair?"

Maria blinked and smoothed her long hair. "Don't I look good?"

She had taken Peggy's advice and dyed her hair in smoky gray. Yes, her long hair was smoky gray now.

"Dye it back to black."

"No way!" She had spent three hours to dye her hair. She could not waste her time and energy in this way.

With a long face, James repeated, "Dye it back to black.

"Give me a reason."

"No reason." The reason was simply that he didn't like it.

Maria snorted, "Go with me!"

"Okay."

In this way, they reached an agreement easily. Both were decisive.

The two of them had dinner together first. James had planned to take her to the concert after dinner. However, he didn't want to see her gray hair at all. He changed his plan without hesitation and took her directly to a hair salon.

Upon seeing James, three hairdressers hastily came to offer high-level service.

James sat on the sofa and pointed at the woman's long hair. "Change the color back."

"Mr. Xi, do you mean black?"

"Yes."

"Okay, no problem."

Maria stood still. She checked the time and said, "James, it's eight o'clock. The salon is going to close soon. I want to do some hair care too, but the time is not enough. How about tomorrow?"

Before James could say anything, the manager of the hair salon said immediately, "It doesn't matter, ma'am. We usually get off work at twelve o'clock. But since you and Mr. Xi are here, we can serve the two of you for an indefinite period of time."

Maria was rendered speechless. The manager meant that they would not get off work until she was done.

Since he said so, Maria sat down in front of the mirror and said, "Remember to do a hair care and maintenance after dying my hair."

"Okay!"

James waited for a few hours. Maria sat on the chair and played with her mobile phone, while James was working on his mobile phone. The two were respectively busy with their own business.

Five hours passed before it was done.

Maria yawned and held the man's arm. "I'm so sleepy.

Let's go!"

After walking out of the hair salon, James asked before getting on the car, "Do you want to have midnight snack?"

Maria shook her head. "No. I'm so sleepy. I have to take a shower and wash my face when I go back. Let's have midnight snack another day!"

"Okay."

Without asking for her opinion, James took her directly to the villa in the East District.

After taking a shower, Maria happened to meet the man who came into the bedroom. When she was about to say something, James spoke first. "I'm going out."

"It's so late. Where are you going?" she asked casually.

Taking a look at her, James didn't plan to hide anything from her. "Alina is drunk and can't get free. I'm going to pick her up."

Maria's heart sank suddenly and her face changed slightly. "Didn't you break off the engagement? Why did she still call you when she was drunk? And the point is, why do you have to go there once she calls you?"

James explained patiently, "I introduced her to Mr. Lin in the first place. He took her to a bar tonight."

Mr. Lin wanted to do something to Alina. Fortunately, James had already asked his men to stop him. However, Mr. Lin seemed to have been drunk too, and his men couldn't stop him. So James had to go there in person.

Maria sneered, "First of all, are you sure it's not her trap?"

The man frowned slightly. "Maria, I already made it clear to her when I broke off the engagement with her. She wouldn't do anything to target you anymore, and you don't have to make trouble for her either."

He knew she was a strong woman who wouldn't be willing to suffer any loss.

"Wow, you are protecting her so well."

How could he not understand her irony? "You don't want me to go?" If she really didn't want him to go, he wouldn't.

"Just go ahead. How could you not go? After all, she is a weak woman. I don't want you to blame me if anything happens to her," Maria said indifferently.

"I'll be back soon." He would come back as soon as he finished dealing with Mr. Lin.

"Bye!" Maria yawned and walked to the bed.

After he James, the bedroom returned to silence.

Lying on the bed, the woman stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open. She had just had a sweet day until Alina called James.

It had to be said that Alina was really good at playing the trick of retreating for the sake of advancing. Well done!

The two of them had already broken off their engagement, but James could still treat Alina well openly. Did it mean that Maria, who was going to be his girlfriend, was too kind-hearted and easy- going?

Thinking of this, she got up from the bed, hurriedly changed her clothes and strode out of the villa.

She picked up a car key and drove to the downtown. On the way, she called someone. "Find out where Alina is now."

Half an hour later, Maria arrived at a bar. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

It was almost three o’clock in the morning. There was no one on the street, but the bar was still bustling with people.

Maria went directly to the second floor. She stopped in her tracks beside a private room, where several bodyguards stood at the door. Seeing her, they looked at each other and immediately greeted her, "Ms. Song."

Despite the greeting, they didn't have the intention to get out of the way.

While she listened to the sounds inside, Maria's face darkened. "Get out of the way!"

"Ms. Song... Mr. Xi said that no one is allowed to go in," a bodyguard said awkwardly.

Maria cast a cold glance at him and said, "Do you think I'm someone insignificant to him?"

"No, no, no." Cold sweat began to break out on the bodyguard's forehead. They had been working for James for a long time, so they roughly knew their relationship.

The bodyguards obviously hesitated for a moment, and Maria's eyes flashed with anger. "Are you sure you won't get out of the way? You want me to break in? If I get hurt, do you think James will let

you go? Or do you think you can take the responsibility?"

The bodyguards were all rendered speechless. They finally moved aside and opened the door of the private room for her.

The sound insulation effect of the door was very good. So Maria didn't hear the screams until she entered the private room.

There were several bodyguards standing inside. A man in a black vest and a white shirt was beating up a man wearing glasses.

There was a woman lying on the sofa. It must be Alina. She kept moving around, perhaps because she was drunk or something else.

How could James fight for Alina?

This fact made Maria very uncomfortable.

She stood not far away and quietly looked at the man, who was full of rage, beating the other man without mercy.

Maria thought that if she called out to stop James but he pretended not to hear her, she would feel very embarrassed.

"James." She couldn't help doing it at last.

Her voice was neither loud nor low, which could be heard in the private room without music.

The man's reaction made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Hearing her voice, James stopped what he was doing and shifted his eyes to her direction. He gasped slightly and looked at the expressionless woman. It seemed that he hadn't realized what

was going on yet.

Crossing her arms over her chest, Maria looked at the man coldly. "Why did you have to come to her rescue? Don't you have a woman? Or are you reluctant to leave your ex? Or have all the other men in the world died? Otherwise, how could you, a man who has a girlfriend, do it in person?"

And, were the bodyguards beside him all dead? How could they just watch James fight without doing anything?
