A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 343

It was very extravagant pendant.

Now that electronic locks were used almost everywhere, and only a passcode was needed to open a door, a key chain wasn't particularly useful. However, it could still be used for carrying car keys, or hung on a bag.

Summer nodded. "Mr. Xi, don't worry. Maria will like whatever gift you give her!"

James's eyes lit up with a smile. "Go and give it to her.

"Yes, sir."

Summer immediately rushed to the DS Group. As soon as she entered the lobby, the receptionist at the front desk asked politely, "Hi, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Ms. Song. I'm Summer Jing, the secretary of Mr. Xi from HL Group. He asked me to bring her a gift," Summer replied with a smile.

'So this is the special assistant of Mr. Xi! And she has even brought a gift for Ms. Song.' Quickly recovering from her shock, the receptionist said, "Welcome, Ms. Jing. I'll take you to see Ms. Song right now. This way, please!"

"Okay, thank you."

Summer followed the receptionist to the floor where Maria's office was located. Upon seeing her enter the floor, Peggy immediately greeted her. "Hi, Summer." "Hi, Peggy. Is Maria here?" Summer asked.

"Yeah, come on, I'll take you to her office. What's the

matter?"

As they walked, Summer showed Peggy the paper bag in her hand and said, "Mr. Xi has ordered me to personally bring a gift to Maria."

Excitement flickered in Peggy's eyes as she looked at the bag in Summer's hand. "Ah, Mr. Xi is so kind to Maria! I envy her!"

"Who doesn't?" Summer smiled.

Maria was sitting in her office and staring at her phone absent-mindedly, lost in her thoughts about Bob.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door before the door swung open, and Peggy walked in, followed by Summer. "Hi, Maria," Summer greeted.

"Summer? Why are you here?" Maria stood up and walked towards her curiously.

Summer waved the paper bag in front of Maria and grinned. "Mr. Xi asked me to bring this to you."

Maria asked Peggy to make a cup of tea for their guest before taking the paper bag. "What's this?" she asked Summer.

"You'll know when you see it!"

Maria took out the exquisite-looking brocade box and opened it. The pendant on the key chain dazzled, reflecting the lights in the office. "A key chain?" Why had James suddenly gifted her a key chain?

Summer nodded. "A partner of HL Group gave this amethyst to Mr. Xi some time ago. Look, the shade of purple has a hint of wine red in it, which makes it look attractive. As soon as the partner left that day, Mr. Xi asked me to get the best jewelry designer in our company to make this pendant for you."

Maria couldn't keep the burst of joy she felt from seeping into her eyes, but she pretended to be unimpressed and deliberately said, "Why did he give me this? I don't really use keys." "Don't worry, I've already thought about that for you. You can use it for hanging your car keys, or you can hang it on your bag. It's such an expensive and precious object, though. If I were you, I would keep it safe in my jewelry collection!"

Maria chuckled. "Well, I think I'll put my car keys on it." That way, she could carry James' gift with her all the time.

"Sure."

Peggy returned with a cup of tea and handed it to Summer. The three women chatted and giggled about James for a while, and then Peggy saw Summer off.

Once she was alone in her office, Maria fidgeted with the key chain in one hand and typed a message on her phone with the other. "Mr. Xi, you gave me fifty-one million dollars in the morning, and an expensive gift now. Do you want me to repay your kindness with my body?"

"No, just give me a son," came the quick reply. It was obvious that there was more to his words than met the eye.

Maria stared blankly at the word "son" for a while, feeling slightly uneasy. Did he already know about Bob's real identity? Or was he just speaking casually, and she was the one reading too much into it?

Either way, she couldn't give herself away, so she just replied, "No hurry. We already made an agreement, remember? You have to wait for a year."

Looking at her text, James smiled. Instead of bickering with her, he just replied, "Okay."

Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry. He was sure that he would find Bob soon. And when he did, he wanted to see the look on Maria's face.
