A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 403

Rosa shook her head. She had never paid attention to Ronald before.

"Do you know Judy? By using Ronald, she destroyed Maria's cafe. Maria sent him to prison."

"Ah. So you want to use Ronald to deal with Maria?"

Colby shook his head. "The man has been a model citizen ever since he got out of prison and hasn't caused any trouble for a long time. Forget about provoking Maria. However, there are a lot of people just like he was before. We should take a leaf out of Judy's book and borrow a knife to kill people." 'That way, even if something happens to Maria, James won't be able to trace it back to us.'

Rosa was lost in thought.

Maria was sorely tempted to decline the invitation to dinner tonight. However, Mr. Fu mentioned that a project she had gotten involved in recently would be discussed, so she had no choice but to attend.

It was just a dinner, so she didn't take any bodyguards to keep a low profile. Only her driver was waiting for her in the car.

Her assistant accompanied her to dinner but had to beg off in the middle of it in order to attend to something urgent at home.

It was nothing out of the ordinary to encounter people she knew during dinner, especially someone like Colby and Rosa. Maria didn't think too much of coincidental meetings.

However, the constant calls for toasts were beginning to annoy her. Her original intention was to find an excuse to leave once all of the dishes had been served and the business talk had been concluded.

During dinner, Rosa went out to answer a phone call.

When she came back and passed by a corner, she caught sight of a man talking to a waitress.

She knew the man-Mr. Xu. A well-known playboy in H City, he was always surrounded by women.

Rosa meant to leave, but what she witnessed stopped her on her tracks.

The waitress handed a hot dish plate to Mr. Xu and left in a hurry.

Then, Mr. Xu took out something from his pocket and poured it into the dish when he thought there was no one else around.

A few seconds later, the waitress hurried back and handed something she had brought to Mr. Xu. Only then did he return the plate to her.

Mr. Xu stepped aside to let the waitress walk into another private room.

Before the woman could open the door, a voice called out to her. "Waitress!"

The waitress turned around and saw Rosa. She greeted her politely, "Mrs. Zheng."

"What do you have in there?"

"Mrs. Zheng, this is stone-ground tofu, which was ordered for this private room." "I see. Well, the dishes in our private room are served too slowly. Go and serve this to our room first."

The waitress visibly hesitated. "Well..." She was just a waitress. She was in no place to make that decision.

Rosa's face darkened, and she pouted in feigned discontent. "What's wrong? It's just one dish. Our private room is full of distinguished guests, and James Xi's woman also happens to be present. Do you want to neglect them?"

Taken aback, the woman hastened to reply, "No, Mrs. Zheng! I'll be right there."

"Good."

Rosa watched the waitress enter their private room. When she emerged, the dish in her hand was gone.

The dishes forthat night's banquet were all arranged by Mr. Li's assistant beforehand. No one would pay attention to the extra dish.

When Rosa entered the private room again, Maria was ladling some of the stone-ground tofu into her own bowl. Delighted by the sight, Rosa quietly made her way back to Colby's side.
