A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 422

Ronald wouldn't have been so scared if it had been anyone else. However, he was about to face Maria Song, the person who had sent him to jail for nearly two years. He didn't want to lead that kind of life anymore.

After Ronald left, Clayton thought for a moment and then called Mr. Guo to give him a reminder.

In DS Group

Just as Maria was entering the company, two people blocked her way. She smiled as she looked at them and said, "Ah, Mr. Tang and Mr. Guo."

Mr. Guo straightened his tie and returned the smile. "It's really hard to meet you without an appointment, Ms. Song. I apologize for interrupting your work like this."

Maria walked forward and said, "Let's talk in my office!"

"Okay! Ms. Song, after you!"

Maria led the way to the elevator. Behind her, Mr. Guo exchanged a look with Ronald, and the two of them followed her.

In the office, her secretary served the visitors cups of tea. Ronald placed the contract they had signed on the table and said, "Maria, I know that we've had our differences in the past, but I haven't offended you recently, have I? You can't do this to me, right?"

Pretending to be surprised, Maria picked up the contract and asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Tang?"

She rifled through the contract before saying, "Is the contract no good?"

Ronald only stared at her without a word, but his mind was churning. How could the contract be good? Tamping down the urge to curse the woman before him, he explained patiently, "Our agreement was that we would split the profits by the rate of 6:4. Why did it become 9:1 in this contract? Besides, the price has been changed!"

With a puzzled look, Maria asked, "Ronald, that's what we agreed on at that time. Why would you sign your name on the contract otherwise? What's more, you were the one who wrote down the price and the rate by yourself. What do you want to do now? Perhaps... you can't afford these terms?"

Ronald's jaw dropped. Her words were pushing him into a corner.

Mr. Guo knew beforehand that Ronald was tricked by Maria. Now, he only needed her to admit that she had tampered with the contract so that things would go his way.

He turned toward Ronald and said in a soothing voice, "Mr. Tang, please calm down first. Ms. Song, I think we both know what happened to the rate in this contract. To put it bluntly, this isn't a good thing, right? Have you ever seen a rate of 9:1 ?"

Maria didn't answer him. She stood up, went to a drawer, and took out several contracts. She put them in front of the two men and asked coldly, "Yes, I have."

The two men looked through the contracts in front of them. There were contracts signed by DS Group with HL Group and Fosun Entertainment Group. In the division of profit section of each contract, the same split was stated-9:1. Of course, with ninety percent of the profit going to DS Group.

Maria continued, "You haven't seen 9:1 split rate before? Ronald, please don't try to play tricks on me. Otherwise, your father will think I'm deliberately targeting Tang Group."

His calm demeanor finally marred by a scowl, Mr. Guo argued, "Mr. Xi is your husband, and his company is yours. I don't know the relationship between you and the CEO of Fosun Entertainment Group. As for you and Mr. Tang..."

"I was his cousin! Although that association was all in the past, Mr. Tang has agreed to help me for the sake of our previous family relationship."

Ronald stared at the woman, disbelief written all over his face. He didn't think she could pull such a duplicitous trick with a straight face. "Help you? What the-"

"Ronald Tang!"

Before Ronald could curse, Maria whirled around to snap at him.

Mr. Guo asked calmly, "Ms. Song, I take it that you won't admit to it because we don't have any evidence, is that right?"

Maria raised an eyebrow, a smug glint in her eyes. "Mr. Guo, I don't understand. You want me to admit to what, exactly?"

Mr. Guo said, "I don't know how you managed to do it, but Ms. Song, it won't do your reputation any good if word of this manages to leak out, right?"

The woman seemed to be a little angry. "Mr. Guo, it's easy to find a stick when you mean to beat a dog. Just tell me frankly. Do you want to break the contract?"

Break the contract? How could he break the contract that easily? The huge amount of liquidated damages alone would be enough to put Tang Group under.
