A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 104

"Yeah, they're here. My father invited a lot of his own friends. They're chatting as we speak."

"All right. Please go ahead. I won't take too much of your time." Putting aside Kent's private life, Maria saw Ethan's figure on him, sunny and energetic.

After all, they were both young men in their early twenty's.

As host of the birthday party, Kent was indeed quite busy. He didn't talk much with Maria and socialized with his other friends.

Maria looked around. Ronald was complaining he was bored, having apparently failed to charm the girl he was flirting with. Alina was still chatting with several people by the swimming pool. Norman and Mr. Jiang were talking, as well.

When no one noticed her, Maria put down the champagne flute and slipped away from the party.

The Jiang family villa was brightly lit. She walked inside and found the bathroom.

After a while, she emerged from the bathroom and hung a right. However, after taking two steps, a man stepped from his post just around the corner and said, "Hello, ma'am, what can I do for you?"

Maria seemed to be startled and hurriedly answered, "Can you help me? Mr. Shen brought me here, but I needed a restroom and now I'm lost."

"It doesn't matter, ma'am. Please follow me." "Okay, thank you!"

Maria followed the bodyguard, looking around. She noticed a high-definition monitor installed overhead.

When they arrived at the entrance to the garden, the bodyguard gestured to her, indicating she should enter the garden. "Here you go, ma'am."

Maria thanked him and made her way to where Norman stood.

As soon as she reached him, a scream came from the swimming pool. "Ahhh!"

Another sound immediately followed the scream. Sploosh! Everyone was curious and looked in that direction. Someone had apparently fallen into the pool.

If Maria was right, that was Alina.

Immediately, the party erupted into chaos. Someone yelled, "Help! Alina Tang fell in the pool!" "Alina Tang? James Xi's fiancee-to-be?" The onlookers exchanged glances with each other, discussing it in hushed voices. Mrs. Jiang trotted over to the pool area and gave an order to the people shrouded in darkness. "Save her!"

Several bodyguards rushed out from the

shadows and jumped in one after another to save Alina.

The pool was long and deep. When the bodyguards rescued Alina, she was already unconscious.

Knowing who she was, Mrs. Jiang was more than a little flustered. Ronald waded through the crowd and shouted in panic, "Alina! Alina! What's wrong with you? Alina?"

Many guests were startled and had no clue what to do.

Someone said, "Ms. Tang is unconscious. You should check for a pulse to see if she needs CPR." It was not only a pleasant female voice, but also the voice of reason.

The bodyguards were rooted to the spot. They didn't dare lay a finger on her.

Ronald kicked one of the bodyguards. "Didn't you hear what she said? Help my sister!"

The bodyguard was cowed by him and quickly bent down to save Alina. He listened for a pulse, and then put his mouth over hers, pinching her nose first, while he blew air into her lungs. It wasn't long before she coughed, expelling all the water she swallowed.

The woman who advised everyone on Alina's condition took out her phone gracefully and covertly snapped a few pics. Then she left the crowd quietly to appreciate her handiwork.

Norman came out of nowhere and found her. "You just never stop, do you?"

"Of course. After all, I haven't given up on James yet." Maria sent the photos she had taken to James through the WeChat app and added some text. "Look! Check out what your woman did at the party tonight! She's not as faithful as she says."

With a smile, Norman asked, "Did you find anything on your self-guided tour of the villa?"
