A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 41

If necessary, James would tell Lawrence's superior to give him tons of busy work so he'd have no time for Maria.

After sending Alina back to the Tang family, James went straight back to work.

Everyone in the Tang family was at home tonight. When Alina entered the living room, Clayton sat on the sofa and played with his phone. Miranda had her elder brother on the phone, Chandler Song-Maria's biological father. "Yeah. Maria's back, and out for blood. She fractured Ron's skull. She even started drama at a high-end restaurant. She said hi to me, but I felt ashamed of her. "

Hearing what Chandler said made Miranda smile. "Not at all. The engagement will go off without a hitch. Maybe James really likes our Alina. We settled on a date today. We set it to coincide with Founders' Day—the date of Tang Group's founding."

"I'll ask Alina to show James off at the Song family's gathering. All right. Alina's back. Good night."

After hanging up the phone, Miranda pulled Alina over and let her sit beside her. "So how did it go with Mr. Xi? Why are you home so late? Where did he take you?" Alina left the restaurant to go find James, so Miranda thought the two of them had been together all this time.

"Mom, where is Uncle Chandler holding the family gathering?" The preparations for the Song family's party were finalized a month ago. The head of the Song family wanted to take advantage of the fact that every member of his family was in H City recently, so he decided to arrange a family gathering.

"Your uncle booked a private room in the hotel owned by James' company. We can go there together,"

Clayton said and locked his phone screen. "Alina, have you figured out how James feels about Maria?"

Alina nodded, "Don't worry, Dad. Maria's been pestering James. He said if I wanted to sue her for what happened today, he would ask his attorney Mr. Zhou to help."

What James did satisfied the Tang family. With a laugh, Clayton said, "We'll be the ones holding the power in H City after you marry James. Alina, call James and tell him I bought you a house in the suburbs. Why don't you move in now? You need to adapt to Mrs. Xi's way of doing things before the marriage."

Miranda agreed with Clayton. "What this family needs is some new blood. Although James' grandfather has retired from the Xi family, he still holds all the power. If you give birth to his great-grandson, he'll be happy. You could consolidate your own power in the Xi family. The Tangs would run this town."

Maria's child was dead. That meant there was no competition for the Xi family's property.

Alina's parents were immersed in the joy of their engagement, while Alina was focused on the family gathering. She thought this family gathering was the ideal opportunity to deal with Maria, because the Song family didn't want her around either.

Alina could con Maria's family and get them to teach her a lesson.

Keeping this in mind, she advised Miranda, "Mom, you should call Maria..."

Alina explained her plan to her mother. When she mentioned Maria, Miranda refused, "No way. She defeated your two cousins and married into the Xi family before. And she attacked you and Ron. She's really trashy. Just sue her, or put her in jail for a few years. Out of sight, out of mind.
