A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 349

Photographed was a pregnant woman at an intersection, waiting for the light to turn green. It seemed her bangs annoyed her, because she was reaching up to tie her hair.

As she did so, her whole face came into view of the camera.

James' eyes lit up. He was so sure that, although Maria had a big belly in the photo, it couldn't have been taken when she was pregnant with Arthur. At the time, Maria was quite young and dressed very low-key.

But this photograph showed her wearing a mature yet fashionable outfit.

A dark green windbreaker draped over her shoulders, framing a loose black dress underneath. On her feet, she wore a pair of flat shoes. The delicateness of the dress's fabric accentuated her round belly.

Gary gulped nervously. "This photo is from Mr. Cooper's assistant."

Cooper?

James fished out his phone from his pocket and dialed Cooper's number. Gary took the hint and quietly left the office.

On the other end of the line, Cooper had just stepped out of the shower when his phone started ringing. Glancing at the caller ID, he swiped to answer. "Hey, bro."

"Are you sleeping?" "Not yet, I just got home." It didn't take long before Cooper realized the purpose of James' call.

Sure enough, James didn't beat around the bush. "Maria was in America for a while. Did you know about that? Were you taking care of her then?"

"She did come to America," Cooper confirmed cryptically. But he didn't offer any more information.

Through gritted teeth, James hissed, "You truly are such a good brother. Even now you take her side!"

"You'll thank me."

Thank him? James wanted to beat him up.

Even if Cooper didn't say anything, James got the answer he wanted and hung up the phone. Distressed, he ran his fingers through his hair.

What was he going to do with Maria?

Meanwhile, Maria had just arrived at her office.

To her surprise, Summer's husband, Jamir Yuan, was waiting for her there.

At first, Maria didn't know him; she just saw him as a shabbily dressed man in front of her company's building. Summer had never gotten around to introducing him to her.

As soon as she got out of the car, the man stopped her.

She looked him up and down skeptically. The man was wearing a denim coat over a T-shirt and a pair of sneakers.

"Who are you?" she demanded.

"You must be Maria, right? I'm Summer's husband. I want to talk to you." 'Summer's husband?' Maria studied the man once more. He was good-looking and tall enough, but there was a certain rage in his eyes. It seemed he was here to make trouble.

Seeing this, Maria felt something explode within her. However, she held back her anger and forced a sweet smile. "Come with me."

She led Jamir Yuan to the reception area and the two sat opposite each other. The secretary, noticing her boss had brought a guest, immediately prepared a glass of tea for him.

But when she was about to serve it, Maria said, "No, thanks. We're not going to waste some tea on this jerk."

Jamir seemed taken aback. But his surprise quickly turned to rage.

When the secretary was gone, he hissed, "Ms. Song, I advise you not to meddle in my affairs."

"Is that why you came here?" As she spoke, Maria typed rapidly on her phone. "Are you feeling better?" she texted Summer.

"Because of you, Perry was fired by HL Group. Now, she has nothing to do but cry at home every day. Plus, she's pregnant. Don't you know how much this all will affect her health?"

Maria placed the phone on the coffee table and locked eyes with Jamir menacingly. "She's pregnant?" she asked softly.
