A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 345

The cake was packed in a matte black box, and before the staff tied a ribbon on it, Maria stuffed a VIP card into the slit of the packaging. Finally, Ethan pulled on some white gloves and carefully placed the cake in the back seat of the Harkim. Then, when he was satisfied it would be safe, he got into the driver's seat and started the car.

Two cars filled with photographers and their big cameras followed him. After all, it was their assignment to cover the whole process from when the cake was sold to its delivery.

However, on the way to the specified address, Ethan received a call from Maria. "Ask the photographers behind you to stop following. The winner of the cake doesn't want to be on camera. You can complete the delivery yourself."

"How can someone be so low-key?" Ethan wondered aloud.

"I don't know. I've never heard of her name before, and neither has James." But one thing was clear: the person living in that mansion was either rich or powerful-or both.

"Okay.” After dismissing the photographers that were tailing him, Ethan went straight to the destination.

When he arrived, he rang the doorbell. Shortly after, a crisply-dressed maid came to the door. "Is there a Ms. Wang here?" he asked politely.

"Are you the one delivering the cake?" the maid asked straightforwardly.

"Yes."

"Just give it to me."

Without so much of a shrug, Ethan bounded over to the car to pick up the cake. ''I'll help you bring it inside, " he offered. After all, the whole thing cost five million dollars. It was the least he could do.

But to his surprise, the maid refused. "No, thanks. I got it."

"Alright then." Ethan carefully handed the cake over to the maid. "Be careful. It's a little expensive." A single bite was worth tens of thousands!

"Okay, thank you!" The maid quickly shut the door on him, leaving Ethan alone on the doorstep.

Ethan took a step back and looked at the mansion in admiration. This buyer was really low-key!

Later that afternoon, James sent away the masters while Maria kept herself busy. Finally, James grew impatient waiting for her and had more than a dozen people clean the coffee shop for her. Only then was he able to drag her away from work.

However, Maria had promised to invite Sandra to dinner. When Sandra realized James would be joining them, she turned pink with embarrassment. "Let's have dinner some other time. I don't know Mr. Xi too well, so I'm a little shy."

"Oh, don't be!" Maria said reassuringly, trying to coax her into having dinner with them. "You won't have to worry about a thing since Ethan is there too."

"It's okay, don't worry about me! We can go shopping together sometime."

"Well, alright."

After sending Sandra away, Maria arranged for Mike to take all the employees out for a midnight snack before finally settling into the passenger seat of James' car.

In the back seat of the car, Ethan was playing on his phone. "I'm so tired," Maria wailed.

James glanced at her and said, "We'll go home and rest right after dinner."

"Okay."

Maria looked back at the young man who was fixated on his phone from the rearview mirror. "Ethan, did you see the buyer?"

"No," he said with a shrug.

"Whoever the buyer is, she's really mysterious. I only saw the maid." Well, it was all indeed very mysterious.

"What is the name of the place again?" James asked.

"Golden International. And it's also owned by HL Group," Maria answered.

'Golden International?' It suddenly dawned on James who this mystery buyer might be. He had heard that she lived there, and she was more than capable of paying the five million.

But James didn't think she would do such a thing.

Maria glanced at him curiously. "Do you know who the buyer is?"

"I'm not sure." His brows creased as his mind raced.

"Who?" Maria persisted.

James kept silent.

Maria pouted in frustration. "Why aren't you saying anything? Is it a man or a woman?"
