A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 202

At the mention of Maria, Mike looked the girl up and down. She looked to be about twenty years old, had fair skin, and dressed rather delicately. It was easy to tell at a glance that she came from a rich family.

"Do you know Maria?"

The girl nodded. "Yes. Why are you being so weird? Is she here or not?"

Mike's adrenaline shot up again. "Maria has been taken away not long ago. She asked me to look for James Xi just before she was dragged out of the shop, but I wasn't able to see him. Can you help me contact Mr. Xi or do anything that might help save Maria?"

"Maria was taken away?! Who the hell would do that? Have you called the police?" Sandra's voice was raised and full of concern.

All she had heard was that Maria often came to the coffee shop to work, but she had never imagined to encounter such a predicament the first time she came here.

"Yes, we already called the police. I don't know that man, but I heard that his name is Ronald Tang."

"Ronald Tang!" Sandra knew the man, of course. That person was filled to the brim with evil and had never done a single good thing in his life. If he had indeed taken Maria, then that would be an extremely big deal.

She quickly took out her phone and dialed a number. "Dad, do you have Mr. Xi’s phone number?" "No, I don't. Why are you asking that sort of thing?" "Maria is in trouble. Do you know how to get in touch with him?"

Hearing that something had happened to Maria, Sandra's father was instantly worried. "What happened? Don't panic just yet. Let me call him for you."

"Okay, hurry up please, Dad."

In the end, her father managed to get hold of Summer's contact numberthrough his own personal connections.

At that moment, Summer was accompanying James in a factory inspection. When she got the news that something had happened to Maria, she put the call on hold and immediately ran to James. "Excuse me, Mr. Xi! " she called in a shrill voice.

The man stopped and turned around.

She leaned over to discreetly report the issue. "Mr. Xi, something happened to Maria. Ronald Tang has kidnapped her."

James' eyes darkened dangerously. "Are you sure?"

"Yes. Sandra Shen called and relayed the incident." Summer was not familiar with Sandra at all, and had probably only met the girl once. But Maria's safety was on the line here, so she chose to believe the latter without hesitation.

'Sandra Shen?' Although he didn't remember who she was, James knew it wasn't the time to think about this. "Investigate their whereabouts. And tell Ethan to bring our men to that location."

"Yes, Mr. Xi."

Summer went back to her phone as she hurried out of the factory. "Don't worry, Miss Shen. We will handle the rest." "Okay, that's good. Thank you so much, Summer!" Sandra was truly reassured.

"You're welcome. That's what I ought to do."

Summer tapped their resources and obtained Ronald's location, then gave the details to Ethan. Ethan, meanwhile, was in the middle of a class. But when he received news that Maria had been taken away, he ran out of the classroom. He rushed over to the location Summer had sent him, bringing a group of combat-skilled men with him.

The factory was in downtown, and it had been abandoned for over a month now. The moment they stepped foot on the property, the strong smell of gasoline assaulted them.

The police arrived shortly after, and when they all stormed inside, Ronald was in the act of landing multiple kicks on Maria.

He and his men were quickly surrounded, and Maria fell to the floor. Ethan happened to witness Ronald kicking her when he busted through the door.

He strode toward Ronald, his pace firm with resolve.

For his part, Ronald was still caught up on the confusion of seeing Ethan in this place. Taking advantage of his disorientation, Ethan landed a solid kick on the other man's chest. Ronald screamed before falling on his back. "Hey, hey! What do you think you're doing?"

Ethan ignored his wails and followed up with a punch to Ronald's face. "How dare you kidnap James' woman? I'll beat you to death!"

The police untied Maria, and she gasped and panted as she wiped the blood on the corner of her mouth.

She took a moment to collect herself, at which point he saw Ethan grabbing Ronald's collar. She rushed over and punched the man in the gut.

At this point, Ronald's face was swollen from Ethan's beating, and he had lost two of his teeth. Added with

Maria's hit, he almost fainted on the spot.
