A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 36

"Ouch!" The next moment, two sounds mingled: a bottle shattering and a scream of pain.

Then the whole restaurant was in chaos.

After she saw Ronald being struck by the bottle, Alina rushed to his side. She cradled his head in her hands, and they came away bloody. The back of his head was bleeding. She shouted at the restaurant manager, "Call the police! Call an ambulance!"

The hall of the restaurant was in turmoil. The noise was so loud that Clayton and Miranda heard it in their private room. The couple exchanged a look, stood up, and walked out to see what the matter was.

The sharp pain in his head made Ronald a little dizzy and he had difficulty breathing. He barely realized anything happened to him, other than he felt bad.

He had been cherished and spoiled by the Tang family since he was born. No one had ever done something like this to him, let alone Maria Song. She was always obedient and acquiescent, wasn't she?

In a panic, Alina urged the manager to bring the first-aid kit. While a waiter was practicing first- aid on her brother, she glared at the woman nearby. "Maria, you're a madwoman! I'll put you in jail, and this time I'll keep you there."

Maria calmly grabbed her high-end handbag. It was decorated with a pattern of geometric shapes and the same color as her dress. She looked very fashionable.

With an uncaring look, she took out a bank card and handed it to the waiter standing next to her table, who was on call at any time. "The check please. I'll pay for the table next to mine as well."

"Yes, ma'am. One moment, please!" The waiter approached Maria. Her imposing manner made him shiver. He took the card obediently and went to the checkout counter to pay the bills.

"Oh my God! Maria, what did you do to Ron?" Maria recognized the voice. It was Miranda, Alina's mother and her aunt on her father's side.

She turned and saw Miranda in a dark green cheongsam. Next to her was Clayton wearing a long face. James was there, too, and even calmer than Maria.

Maria barely had anything to do with these people anymore. Nonetheless, she was polite. "Hi, Aunt Miranda, Uncle Clayton."

They didn't return the favor. Instead, Miranda scolded her. "I don't have a niece like you. Don't call me that!" Then she turned her back on Maria and asked Ronald, her heart breaking, "Does it hurt?"

"Dad, Mom! Alina, James! Get this woman! Ouch ! Be gentle!" Ronald yelled at the manager who was trying to staunch the flow of blood. Then he continued, "I'll kill that bitch for this! Damn it!"

Instead of shouting, Clayton winked at the bodyguards nearby. The bodyguards immediately stepped forward, ready to attack Maria.

However, before they could even get close to her, Maria stepped on the chair, looked down at the bodyguards, and kicked one of them in the chest.

Maria wore high-heeled shoes, which didn't affect her fighting ability in the least. Even a kick could make the bodyguard cover his chest and spit blood.

After dealing with several bodyguards, Maria was about to leave the restaurant before the police arrived.

But someone stepped in her way.

Looking at the man in front of her, Maria sneered coldly, "Sticking up for her before you marry her? That's new!"

She'd suffered many indignities from his stepmother in the past. James never tried to protect Maria. Never!

"You attack someone and you want to just skip out? You should apologize!" James ignored her sarcasm.

"Or what? Are you going to hit me? Think about what that will do to your image." She didn't show any fear in front of James.
