A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 183

As soon as he walked in, James didn't ignore the bloodstains on the floor. He then looked at the woman who was sitting still. Her hair was wet, and some parts of her chiffon shirt were blotted with some kind of red liquid.

He strode over to her and grabbed the cigarette from her lips. Seeing that the ashtray was on the floor, he plunged the cigarette but into an empty wine glass.

It was only then that he noticed that her right cheek was red and swollen. A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.

He quickly picked her up, carried her in his arms, and walked towards the door.

"Wait a minute. Where are we going?" Maria asked.

"To the hospital."

"No need. I'm fine," she said in a light tone.

James stopped and looked at her. "What happened?" Maria's body was reeking of alcohol, but her mouth wasn't. If he was not mistaken, someone had deliberately poured liquor on her hair and clothes.

Maria tightly wrapped her arms around his neck and did not answer. She just stared at him with eyes filled with passionate love.

James waited for her answer. But after a long time and she still remained silent, he slightly frowned.

Maria leaned forward and kissed his thin lips.

'James, it's so good to see you at this moment,' she thought to herself.

James didn't expect what she did, and he froze.

But after a few seconds, he avoided her kiss and said in a deep voice, "We need to settle this first."

"Put me down." Maria felt like she had gained some weight recently. She was afraid that he would laugh at her.

As soon as James put her down, she wrapped her arms around his waist and put on a pitiful look. "Jonathan's wife caught us cheating on her. She slapped me in the face and poured wine on me."

James was rendered speechless. It was his first time to see a mistress who felt so wronged after being caught by the wife cheating with her husband.

'Wait! She was caught by Jonathan's wife cheating with him?' James' eyes darkened. "Don't talk nonsense."

"I am telling the truth. She came here and hit me..."

"What were you doing with Jonathan?" he interrupted. He wanted to know the whole story.

Maria's red lips pouted as she played with James' tie casually. She looked up at him and asked, "Do you care?"

"Maria Song!" James called out her name in a voice full of warning.

"All right. All right. I just lied to him and got twenty million dollars from him. He wanted to sleep with me, but he didn't make it."

"Are you running short of money?"

"No, I'm not."

"Then why do you have to lie to him for twenty million dollars?" If he remembered it right, he had just transferred more than five million dollars to her account not long ago.

"Can I not tell you the reason?" Maria asked in a low voice.

James' eyes emitted coldness. With a stern, he asked, "What do you think?"

Maria stood straight and said, "Let's not talk about it anymore. Don't worry. I won't spend the money because it doesn't belong to me. Relax, okay? I can't even handle you. Do I still need to look for other men? Besides, I don't like Jonathan. I will never sleep with him."

'She can't handle me?' These words made James remember those nights that she was begging him. He swallowed hard, thinking that she was praising him in a different way.

The next moment, he snapped coldly, "Your combat effectiveness has greatly declined. If you have time, you should practice more. You let a woman slap you in the face and pour wine on you? Maria Song, if you continue being such a loser, don't tell others in the future that you know me. And don't ever call me again."

Maria was so angry. Why was he still giving her a blow in this situation? She retorted discontentedly, "She was only able to do it because I wasn't paying attention to her."

How dare he call her a loser? She was so furious.

"I'm just trying to teach you a lesson. If you are not willing to accept it, then resolve the rest by yourself."

"Oh, don't do that, James." When James was about to leave, Maria hurriedly caught up with him. She still needed his help on something else.
