A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 102

James looked Maria in the eye and replied calmly, "This is my car, so I am in control of it."

"Oh yeah? I can see that you are so proud of it." Maria went furious. "Sooner or later, all the cars you own will be mine. And all your properties, too, including HL Group. Well...at least half of it.

James wanted to shake his head in disbelief. Indeed, Maria's dream was big. He wondered if she had the chance to make it come true in her lifetime.

James sneered and took a drag on his cigarette. He then exhaled the smoke on her face and said, "I'm actually not proud of it. And you know what? Sometimes it's also good to have such a big dream."

If she could take away all of his cars and properties, then he would admit defeat.

But he couldn't possibly let it happen. In fact, he wanted to make her realize that even getting close to the door of his villa was impossible.

'James Xi, you're a son of bitch!' Maria cursed inwardly. She then raised her right hand and waved in front of him. "Mr. Xi, don't I have a beautiful hand? How about having my handprint on your face?" she asked in a coquettish tone.

'Come on, not again!' James sneered disdainfully. As the memory of that night in Fairview Villa flashed back in his mind, coldness filled his eyes. "Have you forgotten the price you paid for the slap you gave me last time? Or do you want me to..."

James deliberately didn't finish his sentence. But Maria was clever enough to understand what he meant.

She blushed and withdrew her gaze away from him. She rolled down the window and ordered differently, "Drive."

"Get out of my car," James ordered back. Maria wanted him to send her to meet another man? She must be dreaming.

"I said drive," Maria said firmly. They were in the middle of nowhere. She could hardly see cars passing by. If she got out of James' car, it would be difficult for her to hail a taxi in this place.

James unfastened his seat belt and was about to get out of the car.

Maria immediately understood that he would force her to get out, so she couldn't help blaming herself, 'Didn't you plan to use soft tactics on him? Why are you being tough on him again?'

With this realization, the expression on her face changed dramatically. "James..."

James just ignored her and was about to open the car door.

But Maria grabbed his hand and said, "I'm really in a hurry. I need to see Colby now. He's my boss, so if I'm late, my salary will be deducted."

James glanced at her and said coldly, "Take your hands off me."

"All right. But don't leave me alone here, okay?" Maria turned into a gentle woman.

"Why don't you call Colby and ask him to pick you up? I'm sure he can send as many cars as you want," James sneered. He would not waste his time sending her to another man.

She could make as many excuses as she wanted, but he would never give in.

Maria was so furious that she balled up her fists, ready to smash James' head. But she had to restrain herself. She took a few deep breaths to calm down. Before she could totally lose her temper, she sorted out her emotions and put on a pitiful look. She looked at him and pleaded, "Please, James. This job is more important to me than my life. When you shut me out of H City, it was Colby who..."

"Maria Song, you are the owner of Miracle Cafe," James interrupted.

What he meant was a person like Maria, who could afford to build a coffee shop in the central business district, would never be short of money. She was definitely just putting on an act.

Maria wanted to see how heartless James was, so she made sure that her eyes were filled with sadness. She then squeezed out some tears and said, "I applied for a loan and joined a partnership to build Miracle Cafe. So right now, I have a debt of almost one hundred million dollars. For me to pay it, I need to please all the business tycoons in the city, including you."

"Enough!" James snapped. Looking at her face stained with tears, he felt a sharp pain in his head. Her acting skills were really commendable. He pulled his arm from her grip and said impatiently, "Don't do it again."

"Okay," she quickly answered. She wiped her tears, leaned over, and kissed him on the face. "James, you are the nicest person in the world!"

James took a wet tissue and wiped his face at once. "Don't kiss me again. Your mouth has kissed other men. It's so dirty."

Bang! A loud thud echoed in the car when Maria pounded the dashboard with her fist.

James stopped wiping his face and looked at her darkened expression vigilantly. He was certain that she was prone to violence.

Maria retorted, "You think I'm dirty? Why didn't you think so when you forced me to moan that night in Fairview Villa? Do you tend to have memory loss when you have sex?" What he said really made her furious. Besides, when did he see her kissing other men?
