A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 103

"We almost lost the Ezyhealth project to Fosun. We got it back, thanks to you. By the way, how much do you know about Fosun?"

Maria thought for a while and answered, "The first time I ever heard about them was at that dinner party Mr. Xi threw. You brought up Fosun and Ezyhealth. Before that, I hadn't heard a thing about either of them."

"Oh! I wonder if Mr. Xi might know more." Colby picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish for her. "Come on, Maria, check this out. It's leopard coral grouper. The chef's special."

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng! I'm not sure if James knows about that company. How about I ask him next time I see him?"

Maria took a bite of the fish and sipped on the soup.

"Seen him recently?" Colby asked her again.

Maria could tell that Colby was extremely interested in that. It was like he really wanted to use her against James.

She nodded, looking a little depressed. "Yeah. But you know him pretty well. He's super arrogant and proud. He doesn't care about me at all. Just like last night, when I met him in the Leopard Club, he had a woman on each arm. He ignored me."

Colby smiled. "Maria, you need to try harder!"

"Granted. But James is a smart guy. He's always has his guard up around me. I have to be very careful." Maria lowered her voice on purpose, showing how disappointed she was.

"Yes, you have to be careful. Mr. Xi was able to take the reins of HL Group in short order. He's built that company up too. He's not dumb."

"I agree."

After a moment of silence, Maria realized she was full and started on the fruit.

She asked casually, "Mr. Zheng, can I ask you a question. Where is Mrs. Zheng? Why isn't she here? Come to think of it, I haven't seen her at any dinner party I've been at."

Colby wiped his mouth, put down the tissue, and answered, "She's been in the US tending to our kid. She hasn't come back yet."

"Well, what if she finds out about us when she comes back?" Maria asked hesitantly. Worry was written all over her face.

Colby smiled unfathomably. "What about us?" They weren't having sex. He only gave her some money, and his wife wouldn't check his account. Maria was stunned for a moment and then smiled. "Oh, right! I got it, Mr. Zheng."

"But if you're interested, I've got a villa in the south of the city. You can move in there, and you won't need that shabby hotel." After she moved into his villa, he could do whatever he wanted to her.

Right now, he didn't give a damn about whether his wife would find out.

"I'd love to, Mr. Zheng. James made me the same offer a few days ago, but I turned him down. If I moved into your villa, it wouldn't take long before he found out. James and I probably wouldn't be hanging out again," Maria said. How could she not know what Colby had in mind? So she gave him a flawless answer.

Although the villa was not a property in Colby's name, it was in his assistant's name. As long as James asked someone to check it out, he would know what was going on. Colby didn't insist. He opened his briefcase, took out something, and handed it to the woman. "Okay, I'll leave the key with you. Ball's in your court now."

Maria took the key, acting overjoyed. "Thank you, Mr. Zheng. That's so kind of you!"
