A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 284

Alina's heart stung. Ever since the incident at Augustine's birthday, she had been a laughingstock in the upper class of H City. Many people gossiped about her and worse, mocked her to her face. Others just looked at her strangely, alienating her completely.

Alina glared at Sandra. "Even if James refuses to marry me, he won't marry you, nor will he marry some woman who pretends to be pure and clean!"

The so-called "pure and clean" woman was admiring a brooch. "Excuse me, Ms. Tang. I heard there's a new restaurant along the H River Road. How about I invite you and Ms. Lan out for dinner together?"

Maria smiled sweetly. After the fight between Judy and Ruth last time, Judy had completely cut all ties with Alina.

She had even blocked Alina's number on her phone.

Upon hearing this thinly veiled jeer, Alina gritted her teeth but kept silent. The friend who was shopping with her saw Alina's face reddening from anger and came to defend her. "Just who the hell do you think you are? Don't you know that Alina is the future Mrs. Xi? How dare you talk to her like that?"

Sandra tittered. "Miss Zheng, get your head out of a book sometime, will you? This is the Maria Song."

"Oh, so she is Maria Song?" The name seemed to ring a bell. "Isn't she Mr. Xi's mistress?"

Alina nodded to her friend and warned her in a low voice, "Don't provoke her. She's crazy."

'Mistress?' With a smile plastered on her face, Maria stood up and put the brooch away.

Sandra, on the other hand, was young and spirited. She sprinted towards the two women and jabbed her finger at them. "What the hell are you talking about? You believe whatever Alina Tang says, don't you? Alina Tang is the mistress, not Maria Song, got it?"

"Alina and Mr. Xi are engaged. Obviously, Maria Song's the outsider." Joslyn Zheng pouted.

Maria pulled Sandra, who was about to get into a catfight with the two women, to the side, standing in front of her.

She smiled, "Miss Zheng, right?"

The girl looked young, but dressed maturely. The way she dressed made her look like she was in her early thirties.

Joslyn looked down on Maria. "I was wondering how you could be a member of SOE. It turns out you've been riding on Mr. Xi's money to get here!"

Alina, on the other hand, knew that Maria was not to be trifled with. She urgently tugged at the hemline of her friend's blouse and whispered, "Don't mess with her, you don't know what she can do to you."

"I might not have been in H City for a while, but no one's allowed to treat me like this!" Joslyn shook off Alina's hand and faced Maria head on.

The smile on Maria's face widened.

"You think you can bully Alina just because you're sleeping with Mr. Xi, huh?"

"What else did Alina say to you?" Maria looked at her own hand idly and found that her nails were too long. She decided to have a manicure later.

"None of your business!" Joslyn's attitude was like that of a spoiled child. "If I were Alina, I would've beaten you up to a pulp already."

Pak!

Before Joslyn finished speaking, she heard a loud ringing noise in her ears and her cheek stung.

Bewildered, she covered her burning cheek and looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief. "How dare you hit me?"

"Oh. I dare!" Maria smiled and inspected her hand as though nothing happened. "Didn't Alina Tang tell you that I never show mercy when I beat people?"

Joslyn was speechless. Indeed, while Alina had been trying to warn her, she hadn't gotten to that part yet.

"Didn't you want to beat me up to a pulp? Come on over here and prove it." Maria crooked her finger at her.

Joslyn's eyes widened in disbelief. How dare this woman insult her like this? She angrily pulled out her phone and shouted, "I'm calling my father! He'll definitely kill you!"
