A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 135

Maria ignored her, took the basin from the secretary and stared coldly at the woman struggling in front of her.

"Where are the guards? Call someone! Why are all you just standing there?" Daniela kept screaming.

Maria raised the basin and poured the ink on Daniela's head. Everyone gasped.

The ink Maria poured started at the top of Daniela's scalp and gathered in her hair, before cascading down her face in black rivulets.

The conference room descended into chaos.

Daniela's long lavender dress was drenched in black ink, and her face and hair were similarly soaked.

This was in sharp contrast with how she was just moments ago. She shone like a star when she first arrived, now she resembled a black, starless void.

Maria returned the basin to the secretary, walked back to her seat, and fished her wallet from her purse. She took a wad of cash from the wallet and handed it to the secretary. "Sorry for the mess. This should cover it. If you need to replace the rug, let me know."

The secretary who watched the farce was still in a daze. She took the money from Maria without thinking about it. "Okay. Sure. Ms. Song."

After this, Maria left Qi Group with her stuff, as proud as she was when she first came to work there.

She proudly continued walking, ignoring the gazes her tank top attracted.

Maria got back to the car and allowed her rage to wash over her and finally dissipate. She threw her ink-stained coat aside and stared out the window, lost in thought.

Daniela insisted on annoying her the same way Stella did. She had planned to get even with all of them anyway, so she started with Daniela.

Maria pulled out her cell phone, unlocked the screen, and scrolled till she found Daniela's latest vlog. Then she sent it to someone.

After everything was set up, she was in a better mood.

She called Colby first to report what she knew about Qi Group. When Colby heard she finalized the negotiations and signed the contract, he praised her warmly. "I'll ask the financial department to give you a bonus at the end of this year.”

"Really? Thank you, Mr. Zheng! I didn't expect this would go that well, either! I would love it if you keep me in mind for future projects, Mr. Zheng. I'll do my best on anything you throw my way." Maria's voice was full of surprise and expectation.

"Sure. Got any ideas?" Colby asked.

His question gave her some hope her plan might work.

This gave her a great idea. With a hint of loss in her voice, she asked, "Mr. Zheng, you know I cut ties with the Song family, right? It's no great secret. Everyone in the city knows."

Colby nodded and said, "Yes, I just found a few days ago."

"I have an elder sister, Daniela Song. She's a professional tourist and has tons of followers on social media. We got in a fight. I'm so embarrassed. You know I have a short fuse, right?" She paused for effect and bowed her head in respect. This was going better than she thought. "Mr. Zheng, could you make sure she's okay if you run into her? For me?"

They were, after all, still sisters. Colby didn't think it odd at all. He'd been expecting her to ask a favor like this.

Colby nodded, "Don't worry. If I can help her, I will."

Maria was overjoyed. "Thank you, Mr. Zheng. If you need me, please let me know!"

"Okay."

After the call, the smile on Maria's face totally disappeared. She lit a cigarette and took a couple puffs.

She rubbed her temples and went back to work afterwards.

That afternoon, Daniela's latest vlog went viral. It was the top trending video, and all the comments on it were flattering.

"What a beautiful girl!"

"Every time I see her, she gets even hotter!"
