James didn't turn around immediately. He calmly took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it to his mouth, and lit it with a match. The assistant took the matchstick James had extinguished. He would throw it later if he got a chance to see a trash can.
Then, James turned around and stared at Maria, who was still leaning against the car door. His eyes were full of malice.
'Gosh, I'm doomed!'
Maria thought to herself. Her first reaction was to run away, but she wasn't able to move. James took a few drags on his cigarette and stubbed it out. He then threw it to his assistant and strode back to her right away.
Soon, she was captured by him.
James grabbed her wrist with one hand and opened the rear door of her car with the other. He then squeezed her into it rudely despite her screams and struggles. After getting in, he closed the door and pressed his body against hers.
"Get out!" he shouted at her driver.
The driver was scared out of his wits upon hearing James' thundering voice, so he got out of the car immediately, leaving James and Maria alone in that narrow space in the back seat.
Now that only the two of them were left in the car, James instantly ripped Maria's dress off with his big hand.
Maria's facial expression drastically changed upon realizing what he was doing. She wondered if he was going to have sex with her in the car.
She quickly grabbed his hand and pleaded in a trembling voice, "James, I'm your best friend's girlfriend. And you are also engaged to Alina."
Maria still hoped that it was not too late for her to admit that what she did was wrong. She knew that she shouldn't have provoked him.
James retorted with a straight face, "Even if you are pregnant with Lawrence's child right now, I still won't let you go!" What was more, he still suspected that Lawrence and Maria were just putting on an act in front of him.
At this moment, the phone in his pocket began to vibrate.
Maria heaved a deep breath and reminded him in a soft voice, "Your phone. Answer it first."
However, James just took out his phone and pressed the power button. He turned it off without even checking who the caller was.
Maria knew that she didn't have any way out this time.
It was raining cats and dogs outside, but it didn't affect them having sex inside the car.
In the hotel, the founding anniversary party of Tang Group had to end early. In the lounge, not only the members of the Xi family and Tang family were there but also the members of the Song family, including Carolina and Daniela.
Alina sat on the chair and sobbed quietly with her head down. She didn't say anything.
Carolina was frowning while Daniela just watched the scene with a gloating expression in her eyes.
Since James hadn't come back yet, Sebastian went out to call him. Without Sebastian's presence in the lounge, Judy had to comfort Alina on his behalf. "Alina, I will ask James to give you a proper explanation of what happened tonight."
"This must be Maria Song's trick!" Miranda chimed in with a trace of hatred in her voice.
She carefully thought of the photos shown on the screen just now, and she was convinced that the woman in James' arms was Maria.
She didn't know that woman in the video, but since she knew that Maria was in the photos, she knew for sure that the video was also Maria's scheme.
Maria's name was mentioned again.
And everyone's facial expression changed upon hearing it.
When Elaine saw the look in Judy's eyes, she quickly explained to save the Song family's face. "Mrs. Xi, Maria is no longer a member of the Song family. We cut ties with her for a long time now. So I have no objection on whatever you want to do with her."
