A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 432

This evening, James had learned a lot of things from Rosa.

He now knew all about how far and beyond Maria had gone for him.

In the past, she had only had eyes for him, as if her whole world revolved around him.

She had learned how to cook and make coffee just to please him.

After getting married to him, she had always brought all his laundry to the cleaner's in person. After getting the clean clothes, she had folded them one by one and arranged them in his closet.

Later, James would learn that Maria had spent a lot of time and effort on learning how to tie a necktie, so that she could do it for him one day. When that day finally came and she had the chance to put what she had learned into practice, she had been so happy that she had almost cried.

James would also learn that, in the past, every time Maria heard that he was coming back home, she would cook for him in person.

After saying everything that she wanted to say and getting a satisfactory reaction from James, Rosa ran off, clutching the fabric of her dress to lift her hemline.

James walked back to his car like a zombie, slid into the back seat, and leaned back with his eyes closed. Noticing that he was in a bad mood, Gary asked cautiously, "Mr. Xi, do you want to go back to the manor?"

Silence pervaded the car. After a long time, Gary finally received an answer. "Go to the Leopard Club." "Yes, sir."

With that, Gary drove to the Leopard Club.

At ten o'clock that night, Ethan and another young man from a rich family walked out of a private room, with their arms slung around each other's shoulders, chatting and laughing.

Just then, the manager walked up to Ethan and said in a low voice, "Mr. Nan, I just saw Mr. Xi here."

Ethan's face was red after all the wine that he had drunk. Blinking his eyes, he asked, "Isn't it normal for him to be here?"

"Yes, but he is here alone. It has already been an hour since he entered the private room," the manager explained tentatively.

It was true that James was a regular guest at this club, but there would only be two reasons for his visits. He would come here for a business party, or he would come here to hang out with Ethan or Lawrence.

"He has been in a private room alone for an hour?" Ethan echoed, furrowing his eyebrows in confusion. Feeling that something was wrong, he quickly took out his phone and looked at the screen. He didn't have any missed calls or messages from James.

"Yes, he asked us to bring him some bottles of liquor," the manager continued. In fact, not only did he find James' behavior odd, but he was also worried. James had ordered so many bottles of alcohol for just him alone. What if he ended up drinking too much without anyone to notice or take care of him? That was why the manager had rushed to find Ethan, who was fortunately here with his friend.

Hearing what the manager said, Ethan turned to his friend and said, "You go ahead. We can meet another day. I'll go and check on James."

"Okay. I am leaving now."

"Okay."

As soon as Ethan opened the door of Room No. 666, the pungent smell of alcohol entered his nostrils.

The dimly-lit room was clouded over with cigarette smoke, making it hard to see anything inside.

It was not until he took a few steps inside that Ethan could make out the decadent man lying on the sofa. His eyes widened in surprise as he asked, "James?"

Next to the man lay several empty bottles. There were still two unopened bottles of liquor, and the ashtray on the table was full of cigarette butts.

James opened his eyes, took a glance at Ethan, and then closed his eyes again without saying a word.

Ethan walked over to him and snatched away the bottle in his hand. "What the hell is wrong with you? Why did you drink so much?" He had never seen James get drunk like this before. It was not his style. He had always drunk in moderation.

Besides, James had sounded normal when he had called him in the afternoon and asked him to take care of Bob. What could have possibly happened in the span of a few hours to put him in such a state?

James continued to lie there silently without answering Ethan's question.

After thinking for a while, Ethan asked tentatively, "Did something happen to your company?
