A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 438

Rosa was driven to the edge of madness. After one phone call to Ines, she found out that the nanny had resigned and Ines had been taken away by Colby's people.

Colby was a sneaky bastard. He had made it clear that if she wanted to see Ines, she would have to sign the divorce agreement first.

James took a shower after having sex with Maria. Afterwards, he held the drowsy woman in his arms and whispered, "Mia, let's talk."

He did not pick up Bob from his grandparents' house so that he could have this conversation with Maria uninterrupted.

"Okay." Maria was tired, but she wasn't that sleepy.

However, the phone on the nightstand began to vibrate before James could start. The screen flashed Augustine's name.

A slight frown crossed James' brow. It was near midnight, and his grandfather should have been sleeping by this time.

"Grandpa."

"James, something bad happened. Somebody took the kid away."

The worry in Augustine's voice was apparent. Maria's eyes flew open, and she sat up on the bed and stared at James with panicked eyes.

"Grandpa, I'm on my way right now!"

Ending the call, James tried to comfort Maria. "Calm down. We are going there."

'Calm down?' Her son was in danger, so it was impossible for her to calm down. Even as worry and anger churned inside her, she said nothing and only got out of bed to change.

Just as they were getting in the car, they received another call from Augustine. "James, the baby who was taken away is not Bob, but Tommy. Bob is safe and fine here."

Tommy was the boy that Augustine had picked up from the park.

At these words, Maria slumped against James, the tension draining out of her.

Both of them were relieved that nothing bad happened to Bob, but they couldn't allow anything bad to happen to the poor child, either.

James gently patted her on the back to comfort her as he said on the phone, "Grandpa, we're on our way."

"They said that if we want to get back the child, Maria has to go to the beach in the West District alone."

James frowned. "How did they contact you? Did you call the police?"

"They called us on the landline, and Tami answered the phone. We haven't called the police yet. They warned that they will kill the child if we get the police involved."

"I see."

After ending the call, James looked down at the woman in his arms. "Did you hearthat?" "Yeah. I'm sure Rosa did this," she answered, finally calm.

"I'll go with you."

"No. That woman must have been pushed too far. I'll go by myself." Maria stared out of the window into the dark night. "Go and watch over Bob first. I can't rest easy unless you see him safe and sound."

"Okay, I'll have some people follow you."

"Okay." Maria didn't refuse this time.

James called a car and arranged for a few of his people to escort Maria to the West District.

Before she left, James handed her a gun. "Your safety is the most important. If anything bad happens to them, I'll handle everything. You must take good care of yourself, okay? Do not even think of stupidly exchanging your life for that child's. Even his parents don't cherish him. You still have Bob to take care of. Understand?"

Maria shot him a profound look as she accepted the gun. "Don't worry about me." For Bab's sake, she wouldn't let herself get hurt.

"I'll join you as soon as I make proper arrangements for Bob."

"Okay."
