A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 153

In Maria's car, after teaching her a lesson, James straightened himself up and got out of the vehicle without hesitation. He looked as calm as if they had been talking about the weather the whole time they were in the car.

Maria, on the other hand, was left in the back seat with a messed up hair and a torn dress.

'Damn you, James! You son of a bitch! You've almost killed me!' Maria cursed inwardly.

Just as Maria finally gathered the strength to get up, she received a text message from James. "If you dare to take pills, I'll kill you myself."

Raising her hand with difficulty, she texted back, "You don't want me to take the pills? Do you plan to dig out the baby after I get pregnant?"

"Yes."

Maria tossed the phone away, leaning tiredly against the seat. In terms of ruthlessness, she had to admit defeat. There was no way she could beat James in that.

By the end of the night, Summer was the one to come to Maria's rescue, bringing her some clothes despite the heavy rain.

The incident that took place at the anniversary of Tang Group's foundation that night was spread all over the Internet, but soon the videos got blocked.

Then not even Tang Group's employees were allowed to talk about the matter. The event had turned into a complete taboo topic in the whole H City.

After returning home, Maria didn't take pills, but not because she wanted to get pregnant. In fact, she knew that her period was about to come, eliminating the risks of an unwanted pregnancy.

As she lay down in the bed, she didn't think she would be able to have a nice quality rest anytime soon, which proved to be correct.

Early the next morning, John came to Maria in person and helped her move into Fairview Villa.

Then, in the next few days, James showed up every night at the villa to have sex with her. After that, he would leave in midnight.

Maria wasn't even allowed to go to her own coffee shop. After three days, she couldn't stand it and protested, "I'm your best friend's girlfriend. You can't do this to me."

"Break up with him!"

"No!"

James' eyes darkened as they bore into hers. The following moment, he reminded her, "I don't care whose girlfriend you used to be. From now on, you're my woman, and no one else's!"

"Huh! James, don't you have any principles? Or would you rather throw them away in order to take revenge on me?"

The man looked at her calmly. "Thanks to you, I have lost all my dignity already. Why should I care about any principles?"

"Why are you making things difficult to me alone? Why don't you give Lawrence a hard time instead?"

"Don't worry. He will go on a blind date tomorrow."

"What? What did you say? A blind date?" Maria was shocked at James' words. She wondered why Lawrence hadn't told her anything about that.

As soon as James left, Maria called Lawrence. Since she couldn't drink alcohol during her period, the two of them decided to meet in a restaurant.

"Why are you going on a blind date?" Maria couldn't help but ask Lawrence the question the moment she saw him.

With a helpless smile, Lawrence handed her the menu and answered, "My grandma is eager to have a great-grandson."

"I heard the news through James. Do you think he knows we're faking a relationship?"

"I suppose so." Lawrence was slightly uneasy. In fact, he wanted to pack and run as far as possible. He knew James was coming for him next.

Maria was a little flustered as she pointed to a set on the menu and told the waiter, "I'll have this one. Thanks. " Then she turned to Lawrence again. "And what should I do now?"

Lawrence didn't bother to read the menu. He just ordered the same as Maria before answering her, "I didn't think you would be afraid of him." In his opinion, she was quite fearless.

He had heard about the incident at the anniversary of Tang Group's foundation and had to congratulate Maria for her courage.

James cared too much about his dignity and reputation. Never had he been so humiliated in public like this. It would be strange if he did let go of Maria after that.
