A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 354

"Mrs. Zheng has no idea that Sean is our man. He has successfully joined the foundation," said Gary.

"Well, tell him to investigate Mrs. Zheng's fraudulent donations. It would benefit us greatly if he manages to find some evidence," James instructed.

"Understood, sir."

James ended the call and was about to put away his phone when Maria's hand shot out to stop him.

He looked down at her, his eyes clouded with confusion.

Maria took his phone and pressed a button. The screen lit up, revealing the photo on the screen.

In the photo, she was holding the Starry Roses in her arms and smiling smugly.

She didn't expect James to use her selfie as his phone wallpaper. 'So, he wasn't indifferent when he saw that photo, after all,' Maria thought smugly.

When James realized that he had been caught, he immediately made a grab for his phone.

However, Maria refused to surrender the device. Instead, she laid her head on the man's lap and studied his uncomfortable expression. "Mr. Xi, did you find it beautiful?"

He knew exactly what she meant. "Yes."

"So, without my permission, you used my photo as your wallpaper. That is in violation of my portraiture rights. Now, you have two choices. Apologize to me in public or buy my portraiture rights for this photo with a huge sum of money!"

James' eyes twinkled in merriment. "I'm going with the third option."

"There is no third option."

"There is."

"What then, pray tell, is the third choice?"

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I could make you my wife, so everything you own will be mine."

Maria blurted out, "Keep dreaming! In that case, I can take half of your properties!"

"Okay," he agreed readily.

Maria didn't believe his answer. "Don't lie to me. The only thing you capitalists care about is your properties."

"Tom!" James called out.

The driver answered instantly, "Yes, Mr. Xi?"

"We're not going back to the villa. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"Yes, Mr. Xi."

"Why are we going to the Civil Affairs Bureau?" Maria asked in confusion.

"To apply for the restoration of our marriage. After our remarriage becomes official, you will own half of what I have. If you want all of my properties, I agree." He would transfer everything he owned to her name if that was what it took to get her to marry him again.

Maria immediately exclaimed, "Tom, don't listen to him! Go back to the villa. I won't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau!"

Tom was caught between a rock and a hard place. "Well..." He knew that this would affect the future remarriage of these two people, so he wasn't sure whether he should listen to one or the other.

Anxious, Maria patted James's hand and said, "Stop being troublesome. Let's go back to the villa! I'm not recovered yet." 'Remarriage is no small matter. How could he speak about going to the Civil Affair Bureau so casually?' she thought to herself.

"Let's go back to the villa," James said with a sigh.

"Yes, sir." Tom shifted gears and made a U-turn in accordance with James' order.

Maria rolled her eyes at the man. "Old man, I was just kidding."

"Old man?" His eyes flashed dangerously.

Maria knew better than anyone else what was hiding behind those dark eyes. It occurred to her that he didn't want to be called old, especially by her. She quickly covered her belly with her hands and leaned against his shoulder, acting like a spoiled child. "Ah, my tummy still hurts.

Don't piss me about." 'When did I ever do that?' he wondered.

In the next moment, Maria became serious. "Can we trust Sean?"

"Yes." He had never employed questionable people, and he placed his absolute trust on everyone he had ever worked with.

"How are you going to set a trap for Rosa?"
