A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 107

Quickly, Maria hid under the quilt, leaving only her eyes exposed. Then she told him, "Mr. Xi, I'll never forget how kind you are. Please don't hand me over!"

As he heard that, James turned around and cast a cold glance at her.

Maria had no choice but to put on a bright smile in return. After all, she needed his help.

When James opened the door, he looked at the man outside indifferently without saying a word.

Sure enough, that was Colby's assistant. The man couldn't help feeling intimidated by James' imposing manner as he plucked up the courage to say, "Good evening, Mr. Xi. I'm sorry to disturb you this late."

"What's the matter?" James asked impatiently.

"Here is the thing..." The assistant peeped into the room but didn't find anything out of the ordinary. "Someone broke into Mr. Zheng's room earlier."

"What does this have to do with me?" James was getting more and more impatient.

The assistant broke out in a cold sweat, completely nervous in James' presence. "Well, I just want to give you a friendly warning, Mr. Xi. Please watch out."

"If you suspect anyone, you should contact the hotel or call the police. I don't think I need to teach you how to do this, right?" James' face darkened. He was already in a bad mood because of Maria.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Xi!" Still, the assistant made no mention to leave. Instead, he asked nervously again, "Mr. Xi..."

"James, hurry up!" A flirtatious voice rang out from inside the bedroom, interrupting the assistant's words.

The woman's voice didn't sound familiar to the stunned assistant. No wonder James seemed so dissatisfied with him. It turned out that he had interrupted his romantic evening. As he realized that, the assistant bowed to James immediately. "I'm sorry, Mr. Xi. I do apologize. Good night, sir!

His last words had barely fallen from his lips when he heard a loud "bang." James had ruthlessly slammed the door in his face.

The assistant touched the tip of his nose, which seemed intact. But for a moment there, he thought he would die under James' gaze.

In the bedroom, Maria had to cover her mouth so she wouldn't vomit.

That sweet voice she just made really sickened her.

James went back to the bedroom and looked coldly at the woman lying in the bed. "Will you leave now, or do I have to ask someone to throw you out?"

"Why are you so mean? I've warmed up the bed for you already. Don't you want to lie down next to me?" Supporting her head with one hand, she crooked a finger at him.

Maria had a plan in mind. If she could persuade James to spend the night with her, she wouldn't have to be afraid of Colby's assistant coming back for her later.

James' eyes darkened with desire as she flirted with him. In no time, he was on top of her, pressing his body against hers and holding her waist tightly. Then he grunted, "I'll teach you a lesson tonight!"

In that way, he would guarantee that she would behave herself for a few days.

Maria had a hunch that what she had hoped for was really going to happen. But as she recalled their last time together in the villa, she couldn't help telling him, "Please, be gentle..."

"So are you afraid now? Well, it's too late for that!" He would give her a hard time and punish her until she begged for mercy like she did the last time.

Maria opened her mouth to speak, but her words were choked by James' lips.

In the end, Maria was right. Colby's assistant really came back ten minutes later. He stood quietly at the door of James' suite, trying to overhear what was going on inside.

At that moment, James was still in a fit of anger, so he was a little violent with Maria. Her cries were loud enough for the man outside to hear them.

With no other choice, the assistant went back to another suite on the same floor, which was not far from James'.

Lowering his head, he reported honestly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng. She escaped."

"Escaped?" Colby's face went dark as he heard the assistant's words. The next moment, he thumped the document in his hand on the table and ordered, "Check the surveillance video. Tell the hotel manager that something important that belongs to me is missing."

However, the assistant had already asked someone to check the surveillance cameras after they found the intruder. "Whoever we're dealing with is very cautious. I requested the hotel manager earlier to check the surveillance video of the presidential suite floor. But the system of the whole floor was damaged."

Colby remained silent after hearing his response. He needed to think. The assistant wiped the sweat off his forehead and added, "I've checked the surveillance video of the first floor too, but no one suspicious left during this period."

Colby looked him in the eye. "So the intruder is still in the building?"
