A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Chapter 304 Burning The Bridge After Crossing It

James let go of the man in his grasp. The man fell to the ground. James walked towards Maria. "Why are you here?" he asked.

"Of course I'm here to watch a show about how Mr. Xi revenge his ex-fiancee." This show was really wonderful. The actors and actress were good at acting, and the scene setting made her feel very uncomfortable.

James explained, "He drugged Alina..."

"So what? Does it have anything to do with you?" Maria could not understand.

”1 told you earlier that I introduced Mr. Lin to Alina. I'm the middleman."

Maria looked at him with irony in her eyes. "I didn't know that the very busy Mr. Xi would still have the energy to be a matchmaker!"

The man's eyes darkened slightly. He held her in his arms and said, "I'll explain to you when we go back." He had an agreement with Alina.

Maria shook off the man's long arms, turned around and walked out of the private room.

James didn't think she would leave alone, so he first ordered the bodyguards behind him, "Throw him out and escort Alina back to the Tang family."

"Yes, Mr. Xi!"

However, when James got out of the bar, he didn't see Maria.

Standing by the side of the car, he called her several times, but no one answered.

He frowned tightly and got on the car, heading to the Golden Mansion.

However, he didn't find her there.

Where could Maria go at such a late hour?

Maria didn't drive anywhere but to a residential community.

She parked the car in the parking lot and entered the elevator, which finally stopped at the nineteenth floor.

She rang the doorbell for a long time, but got no response. She had no choice but to take out her phone and made a call. The phone was quickly picked up. "It's me. Open the door!"

The door was soon opened from inside. Peggy yawned and said helplessly, "I thought it was a ghost. I didn't know it was you!"

Maria walked straight into her living room and said, "I need to stay over the night here. Do you mind?"

"Stay over the night?" Only then did Peggy notice that Maria's long hair, which had been dyed into smoky gray in the day, had turned to black again. She closed the door and followed Maria into the living room. "What happened... to you and your hair?"

Maria sat down on her sofa. "Can we talk about it tomorrow? I'm so sleepy."

"Oh, okay. There is no bedclothes in the guest room. If you don't mind, just sleep with me!" It was a rented apartment. Peggy bought the bedclothes and other things after she rented the house. Since she didn't have relatives or friends, she didn't buy too many things when she moved in.

When Maria lay beside Peggy, she suddenly lost his sleep. She tossed and turned for more than half an hour, but she was still totally awake.

She turned over and looked at Peggy, whose eyes were closed. "How about I leave James to you?"

Peggy suddenly opened her eyes and looked excited. "If you want to talk about this, I won't be sleepy anymore!"

Maria was speechless.

"Think about it. Mr. Xi is such a handsome man. Everyone is interested in him! Didn't you say that you would leave him to me? Then I will take him. I will sleep with him every day and I will show off our love in front of you every day..."

"Go to sleep!" Maria was depressed.

"Please don't go back on your word, Maria. Mr. Xi has such a good figure. He must be able to stay for a long time, right? Since you don't appreciate him, just give him to me! " In the eyes of Peggy, Maria was making a fuss about nothing, so she had to remind her how lucky she was to be with James.

Maria simply glared at her. "Can you think about something normal?"

"Well, to be honest, don't you fantasize about something about sex?"

Maria was rendered speechless

Peggy tittered. "Tell me, did you have a fight with Mr. Xi?"

"No, I didn't fight with him. But I could still be pissed off by him."

"All right, all right. How can two people not fight when they are together every day? Besides, you and Mr. Xi are both strong-minded people. It's a miracle that you two can be together. When a dispute happens, both of you have to gives in more or less..."

In the darkness, Maria's phone rang again. She thought it was James again who called her, so she intended to turn it off.

However, she found that it was from Kent.

Why did Kent call her at midnight? Confused, Maria slid the answer key. "Kent?"

"Maria, it's done." It was indeed Kent's voice.

However, what he said confused Maria. "What do you mean?" she asked. As far as she could remember, she had not asked Kent to do anything!

"Alina is here with me. Didn't you ask me to sleep with her? I slept with her as you said. You have to protect me from the aftermath..."

Suddenly, Alina's voice came from the other end of the line. "Maria, you bitch! How could you do this to me?"

On the other hand, Maria felt like she had fallen into an ice cave. She seemed to understand why Kent had gone to work in her cafe.

After hanging up the phone, Maria got up from the bed and put on her clothes in a hurry.

Peggy also put on her clothes, though she had no idea what was going on. "Maria, what happened?"

"Something bad happened to Alina."

"It doesn't matter if she is in trouble. Why are you anxious?" Peggy thought that it wasn't a big deal.

Maria looked at her and said seriously, "It's not as simple as we think." She had to go and have a look.

Peggy just followed her. After putting on her clothes, she went out of the house with Maria without even putting on her wig.

The address Kent gave Maria was a hotel. When Maria arrived, she found that James was already at the door.

But he didn't go in. Instead, he seemed to be waiting for her.

Seeing her coming, he said, "They said you asked someone to send Alina back."

Maria didn't reply. She rang the doorbell. It was Kent who opened the door. He wore nothing but a pair of trousers.

Seeing her, Kent said, "Hi, Maria. It's done."

"Clap!" Maria raised her hand and slapped Kent on his face.

The slap made everyone quiet.

Kent's face was slapped aside. He licked his lips and looked into Maria's eyes. "Are you going to burn the bridge after crossing it?"

James kicked away Kent, who was standing at the door, and took two steps inside. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Clothes were scattered everywhere on the floor of the room. A woman curled up on the big bed, buried her face in the pillow and sobbed.

Everyone could tell what had just happened at the sight of such a scene.

James turned around and looked at Kent coldly. "Now you can explain."

Kent looked at Maria calmly. "Maria, didn't you say that after I slept with Alina, you would give me ten million dollars and help me leave H City? And you said that if Mr. Xi knew about it, you would protect me. What should I do now? I will listen to whatever you say."

James shifted his deep eyes to the expressionless woman, remaining silent.

There was a moment of silence in the room. Then Peggy scolded at Kent, "Damn it! Who the hell are you, you bastard?! How could you slander Maria? She was with me just now!"

Kent took a look at Peggy and said, "I work for Maria."

Maria sneered, "Since you said that I asked you to rape Alina, now tell me, when did I ask you to do that? And how did I do that?"

"When we were at the door of the bar earlier. You said that Alina was inside and she was drugged. Otherwise, how could I know it?"

Maria was rendered speechless. When she came out of the bar, she did meet Kent at the door.

But they just greeted each other and said nothing else. Then she drove away.
