A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 178

Maria had already known that Jonathan's men were watching her in the coffee shop. But she didn't mind it that much. She just worked busily as usual.

When she was on break, she opened Weibo and logged in to her dummy account-"Someone James Longs For.

She then uploaded two photos and captioned, "I ran into James Xi. He is really handsome!" She also tagged the location of her coffee shop before finally pressing the post button.

Afterward, Maria asked some people to follow up, share her post on major social platforms, and bought a hot search with the keywords "come across James Xi."

James had always been mysterious. Since he took over the position as CEO of HL Group, he had only accepted an interview from a financial magazine once. There were also no photos of him attending any events.

Shortly, the pictures of him drinking coffee on Weibo caused a sensation on the Internet.

And since Maria bought a hot search, the keywords "come across James Xi" and other relevant tags ranked first on Weibo topics pretty soon. It was followed by the words "explosive news."

Netizens were all screaming in the comment section. Almost all of them were impressed by James' handsome face.

James had no idea what was going on online until Lorenzo told him. Obviously, the photos were secretly taken from the bar counter of Miracle Cafe. It was not hard to guess who had taken those photos.

He was about to tell Lorenzo to deal with it when he received a message from the perpetrator. "Mr. Xi, would you like to come for a cup of coffee? It's for free!"

He sneered and replied, "I'm busy."

"It's okay. You can always bring your clients here anytime. I've reserved a private room only for you."

James snorted. Did she intend to use him to advertise her cafe? "You have ten minutes to delete the post," he replied.

"Oh, no! We are friends, aren't we? I'll remove it, but let's wait a little longer, okay? Muah!"

Standing next to James, Lorenzo noticed that James had not said anything for a long time, so he asked tentatively, "Mr. Xi, shall I let someone deal with it?"

"No need. Someone will handle it later," James replied with a straight face.

"Okay, Mr. Xi."

In just a matter of two days, the coffee shop was full of people. They came not only to buy drinks but also to try their luck to come across James.

Of course, most of them were women ranging from thirteen years old to eighty.

Needless to say, Miracle Cafe gained in popularity as more and more people saw the post. Everyone in the coffee shop was busy. They felt like they had returned to the days when James ordered coffee for his employees in HL Group.

Maria's operation had also attracted the attention of many TV stations. They even began to make appointments with her to discuss cooperation and renting her coffee shop to shoot their variety shows.

However, Maria refused for the time being. She wanted to stabilize the customer base first before she started to develop another business.

Alina was having some facial treatment in a beauty salon when she saw the hot search topic while browsing Weibo.

She had been to Miracle Cafe several times, so she knew that James' photos were taken there.

But since he warned her last time, she had never gone back to that coffee shop.

Soon, she saw many live streamers currently taking their videos in Miracle Cafe. They were all saying that the business of the coffee shop was doing really good. Although they didn't see James, they were still under the illusion that they might come across him. After all, his company was just right across the coffee shop.

By chance, Alina heard one live streamer introduced Maria, who was busy at the bar counter. "One special thing about this coffee shop is that it has a very beautiful manager. I'll change the camera to focus on her so everyone can see. I heard that her surname is Song. She is so beautiful, isn't she?"

Looking at Maria, who was smiling sweetly in front of the camera, Alina clenched her teeth. Why could Maria take advantage of James to rise to fame while she, who was his fiancee, was still unknown?

She took off the facial mask on her face and ordered the cosmetician, "Apply the skincare products on me now. I'm leaving."
