A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 119

Ever since Maria married into the Xi family, Judy had never liked her and had been against her in every way.

After Arthur's accident six years ago, Judy had put a lot of effort behind the scenes. Finally, she had driven Maria out of the Xi family and even of H City.

If Maria wanted to be a part of the Xi family again, Sebastian and Judy would be her greatest stumbling blocks. Alina understood what Clayton meant, so she said, "Dad, I have a tanzanite bracelet that James has taken away from Maria. I'll give it to Aunt Judy as a gift.

"Well, it's up to you," Clayton replied. He didn't want to worry about such a trifle.

Alina and Clayton ended their phone conversation with different thoughts in their minds.

In Miracle Cafe, Maria was watching the news about the Qin Group's bankruptcy.

It was said that all the real estate properties under Mr. Qin's name were sealed up and were ready to be auctioned. That included the villa where the Qin family members were currently staying.

Although it was James who destroyed the Qin Group, she still felt that she had achieved her goal. After all, she had been wanting to witness the downfall of the Qin family. Actually, her initial plan was to start with YL Group. But since Stella took the initiative to provoke her, she decided to deal with Qin Group first. Maria looked away from the computer screen and looked out of the window.

HM Group, YL Group, Tang Group, and even the Song Group. None of them could escape her revenge. It was just a matter of time.

The ringing of her phone on the table brought her back to her senses. She picked it up and glanced at the screen. It was an unknown number, but still, she answered it. "Hello?"

"Maria, it's me,"

said a familiar female voice on the other end of the line.

Maria smiled sardonically. "Oh, Ms. Song. How are you?"

Carolina ignored the derision in Maria's voice. She continued, "I have something important to tell you. Something happened to Grandpa yesterday."

A feeling of nervousness surged up in Maria's heart upon hearing that it had something to do with Gordon. But she calmed herself down and said, "Go on."

"He had a myocardial infarction. But don't worry. He's much better now. He just needs to stay in the hospital to fully recover."

"Which hospital?" Maria blurted out.

Carolina couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she noticed the anxiety in Maria's voice. "He's in the Municipal People's Hospital."

"I see," Maria said flatly.

"Right now, there are so many things to deal with in the Song Group, so Dad and I are quite busy. We can't make time for Grandpa. I am calling you now because I have a request from you. Can you visit Grandpa more often when you're free?" Carolina loved and hated Maria at the same time.

"I'm afraid I can't do that because I am just an outsider," Maria refused. "Besides, there are so many people in the Song family. Any one of them can take care of him."

She knew that Chandler cared so much about his reputation. For his fame and dignity, he wouldn't do anything unfilial. So she was sure that he would often go to the hospital to accompany Gordon.

Carolina heaved a sigh. "I won't hide it from you anymore. Grandpa doesn't want to see any of us now. He was calling your name even when he was comatose. I heard it myself."

Maria didn't say a word. Her hands slightly trembled. When the image of her grey-haired grandfather flashed in her head, she finally agreed, "Okay, I will find time to see him."

"Thank you, Maria. Let's get together sometime." Since Maria wasn't James' wife anymore, Carolina hoped that their relationship as sisters would become better soon.

"It's all right, Ms. Song. You are a busy person. I'm afraid that I am too humble to be with you. Well, bye now." Maria then hung up.

Carolina was rendered speechless, staring at her phone in a daze.

When she finally came back to her senses, she heaved a deep sigh and deleted the call history. She didn't want anyone to know that she called Maria.

Maria didn't waste any more time. She decided to visit Gordon in the afternoon. She didn't know what James was thinking this time to get even with her.

After what she had done to him, she wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to kill her. Hence, she decided to see her grandfather before anything could happen to her.

Maria took a taxi to the Municipal People's Hospital.

As soon as the taxi pulled over at the entrance of the hospital and she got out, two cars halted behind her and two men got out.
