A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 169

"Well, here's the thing. James, I just want to know. When is your plan to hold the wedding ceremony? Is it before the New Year or after?" Miranda was very much aware that too many women were after James. They were willing to do everything just to marry him. And the biggest threat to Alina was, of course, Maria.

Therefore, she wanted Alina and James to get married at the soonest time possible. Alina must take the crown as Mrs. Xi.

James replied in a low voice, "I will be too busy before the New Year. I'll talk to Alina about it later."

"Okay." Thinking that she would soon have such an excellent son-in-law, the smile on Miranda's face never disappeared. "James, I have one more thing to ask you."

The next moment, the smile on her face vanished, and her expression slightly changed. Upon seeing it, James already had an idea of what was going on.

As he expected, Miranda said, "That video of the woman on the rooftop ruined the Tang Group's anniversary party and your engagement party. Are you going to let go of it so easily?"

Miranda knew that the person to be blamed was not that woman in the video but Maria. But she deliberately didn't say it out loud, pretending not to know.

James thought for a while before asking, "Auntie, what do you want me to do?"

This time, Miranda was at a loss for words. What did she want him to do?

James didn't wait for her answer. He continued, "Shall we cancel the wedding?"

Miranda was more astounded as she didn't expect him to say such words. She wanted to say something but found herself choked. Obviously, James was protecting Maria. Upon realizing it, she couldn't help but smile awkwardly. "Marriage is not something to trifle with. We can't just cancel it so easily. How about this? Let her apologize to us. Am I asking too much?"

She didn't dare to ask too much for the time being.

"I see," James replied, but he didn't answer her question.

In fact, he felt like Miranda had put him in a dilemma.

Maria was such a proud woman. How could she be willing to apologize to the Tang family?

James' reaction made Miranda feel a little embarrassed. She was dealing with a younger generation, yet she had to show respect to him. "Then Mr. Xi, when do you plan to have Maria apologize to us?"

James put down his empty glass on the table and put his hands into his pockets. "How about having Alina apologize to her first for drugging her years ago? Then she can apologize to you afterward. What do you think, Auntie?"

Miranda's face fell. She couldn't smile anymore. In fact, she became a little anxious. "Mr. Xi, don't forget that Alina is now your fiancee. You make her feel wronged every time you try to protect Maria, but she has never quarreled with you. Now you want her to apologize first? I don't think that's a good idea!"

James' expression remained the same. "It's my fault to make Alina feel wronged. But what does it have to do with Maria?" "She is a mistress."

Those simple words made James unhappy at once. Displeasure was written all over his face. He said, "Maria just gave Alina a dose of her own medicine. But what you've told me made me feel that Alina has indeed been wronged. All right, I know what to do now."

However, the project between HL Group and Tang Group had already started. He had to be responsible for both companies. So what he could do now was find a way to minimize the risk of Tang Group and then stop cooperating with them.

"Mr. Xi, what do you mean by that?" Miranda had a bad feeling.

James glanced at her and answered, "Auntie, I know how much you love Alina. She's your daughter, after all. Since I've done something wrong, I will minimize the harm to her."

Miranda's face turned pale as a sheet. She wondered, 'Does he mean he is going to cancel the wedding?' In an instant, she panicked. "No, it's not what I mean. Mr. Xi, I just think that Maria is not good enough for you. She killed your son, so..."
