A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 246

Although James was sitting opposite them, he did not seem to heartheir conversation. As usual, he discussed the new project with the officials.

Two hours later, the dinner party came to an end.

Men in crisp suits and leather shoes walked out of the restaurant one after another. At this moment, one of Colby's assistants trotted over and whispered in his ear, "Mr. Zheng, something happened to Maria."

With a frown, Colby asked the assistant, "What happened?"

"She got almost raped in prison. Then she was forced to sign the confession in advance."

Colby nodded, his gaze drifting off in contemplation. "I see."

Truth be told, he had no plans on taking action at all.

The doors of James' and Norman's cars closed at. They both roared away at the same time.

Just when Norman's car was about to stop at the Shen Group, James' car, which was closely following behind, accelerated and overtook the other. It stopped in front of Norman's car with a loud screech.

Norman's driver slammed the brakes. Norman, who was sitting in the back seat, was unhappy about it. "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Shen, it's Mr. Xi's car." 'James?' An inexplicable smile appeared on Norman's face.

Ten minutes had passed, yet nobody got out.

After a while, Norman opened the door, got out of his car and leaned against the door. Without taking another step away from the car, he lit up a cigarette and puffed it leisurely.

On the other hand, James did not make a move.

Once Norman finished his cigarette, he stubbed the cigarette butt and walked over to James' car.

The car window rolled down, revealing James' expressionless face.

As usual, Norman's smile was gentle. "Mr. Xi, what do you mean?"

James opened the door and got out. The two men now stood face to face to each other.

It had been six months since they last faced each other like this. Today, it happened again because of a woman.

"Tell me. What's your plan?" asked James flatly.

Norman could have saved Maria, but he did not.

With a chuckle, Norman replied, "What should I do then? Maria was willing to take the blame herself. What does it have to do with me? She was not taking the blame for me. Mr. Xi, I think you'd better go to Mr. Zheng instead."

James put his hands in his pockets and reminded Norman in a cold voice, "You bailed her out last time, remember?"

"Yes, and? Do I have to get her out again?"

James' jaw tightened. "Norman, you took her out, trained her, and planted her by my side. Your motive has been exposed. Does being pretentious amuse you?"

The smile in Norman's eyes faded away. "Let me correct you. It was not my idea to let her sleep with you. After all, I also want to marry her."

"Marry her?" James scoffed, and his lips curled into a sarcastic smile. "Norman Shen, how could you let the woman you want to marry sleep with another man?"

Surprisingly, Norman did not feel even an ounce of humiliation. "Mr. Xi, what exactly do you want to achieve by blocking my way?"

"I'm not going to fall into your trap. I'm going to rescue her this time since she has slept with me countless times. Also, if you dare to use her again, I won't show mercy to you just because you're Norman Shen."

Norman frowned and said in a pathetic voice, "Maria is so pitiful, isn't she? She's become a plaything for men."

"If she's indeed just a plaything, she's my plaything only!"

"I don't think so. You divorced her, didn't you? After I took her out of the prison, she stayed in my villa," Norman said with a smile.

James' anger that he had long bottled up shattered in an instant. He swung his fist at Norman.

Of course, Normal would not allow himself to lose. He dodged James' fist and fought back.

The two men brawled in the dark.

After quite some time, their drivers pulled away their bosses, whose faces were now black and blue.

Unfortunately, the drivers got involved in Norman and James’ fight as well. As a result, their faces, like their bosses', were beaten and bruised.

Two days later, Maria was quietly taken out of the detention room. Summer was waiting for her outside. Seeing Maria get out of the room, Summer grabbed her hand and whispered, "Maria, are you okay?"
