At this moment, James also figured out why Ethan wore such an expression when he left just now. With a guilty conscience, Ethan was afraid of being found out.
Maria glared at him. "What are you hiding from me?" she asked.
"I don't know which one you are talking about." He didn't hide anything from her, but there were indeed a lot of things that he didn't want her to know for the time being.
Maria sneered. "It seems that you hide a lot of things from me!"
James grabbed the remote control and locked the screen.
Maria stood up and strode out.
"Maria!"
"Don't talk to me!" Her voice was full of anger. She opened the door of the projection hall and slammed it again.
James was speechless 'How dare she...'
When he was left alone in the projection hall, James didn't hurry to catch up with Maria. Instead, he called Ethan first. "What did you say to her?” he asked.
On the other side of the line, Ethan sounded somewhat afraid. "James, don't be angry with me. I know I was wrong. I'll come to you and apologize to you another day." "Tell me!" James was a little annoyed.
"I thought Maria knew you had broken off the engagement with Alina, but it turned out that she didn't... And when she learnt it, she got even angrier..." Ethan hunched his shoulders. He didn't know what was going on in Maria's mind. In his opinion, even if she was not happy, she shouldn't have been angry.
On the other hand, James already got the information he required. It turned out that Maria had known what had happened between him and Alina.
After hanging up the phone, he stood up from the sofa.
When he strode out of the villa quickly, Maria had already started the car. He stood in front of her car without hesitation.
"Squeak-" Maria slammed on the brake.
Looking at the man in front of the car who didn't move at all, Maria gritted her teeth and put the car into reverse, intending to bypass him.
But James followed her. Wherever she turned around, he would stand in her way.
In the end, Maria was so angry that she lost her cool. She turned off the engine, opened the door beside the driver's seat and shouted hysterically, "James, what's wrong with you? Don't stand in front of my car even if you want to die!"
After that, she stood still, gasping for breath.
James came to her and held her in his arms regardless of her resistance. "Maria."
"I'm not Maria! Maria is dead!" She tried her best but still failed to get rid of his grasp, which made her more irritable.
James kissed her hair and coaxed her patiently, "Then who am I holding?" "You are holding a ghost! Let go of me!"
"Calm down. Let's talk."
"I don't want to talk to you. Now I don't want to see you at all!"
With his head lowered, the two of them put their foreheads against each other and could hear each other's breaths. He said in a low voice, "I can explain."
"No need. You can do whatever you want." As she said, Maria's eyes suddenly turned red.
The reason why he didn't tell her that he had broken off the engagement must be because he wanted her to think that she was being a mistress, which would make her feel uneasy.
As long as she wasn't with him openly, she wouldn't publicize their relationship, and she would never have the chance to marry him lawfully. In this way, he could secretly find another woman to replace Alina.
"Don't you want evidence? I'll get it for you!" He pecked her on her lips and then held her hand.
Maria tried to get rid of him, but failed. She had no choice but to be dragged forward by him. "I don't want the evidence anymore. You don't need to give it to me. James, let me go!"
"No!" He refused without looking back.
"You bastard!" Maria choked with anger.
It was all his fault. He made her pregnant secretly and give birth to a son for him. She didn't even have the right to die.
