A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 447

Miranda was also involved. As the general manager of Tang Group, she had to deal with a lot of problems and put out fires everywhere. She knew what Clayton had done, but she did not report him to the police. Instead, she helped cover up the messes he had made, and now she was also arrested.

At the same time, many senior executives of HM Group and Tang Group were taken away by the police for questioning, which sent a ripple of shock through the industry.

Everyone knew that the senior executives who were taken away this time had little to no chance of ever coming back.

Under constant pressure from HL Group, HM Group officially declared bankruptcy half a month after Colby disappeared.

This piece of news inspired disappointment in a few people. Although HM Group did not have a century's worth of history, it was still deeply rooted in H City. However, due to James' efforts or lack thereof, HM Group went bankrupt in less than a year.

This kind of speedy and embarrassing fall was rare in H City's financial circle.

As for the case of Edith's death, the police had made a new breakthrough and was now focusing on Rosa.

But they had not found Rosa yet, so they still could not let Maria off the hook.

One day, Maria went to a shopping mall and bought some gifts. Then, the driver drove her to army base where Lawrence was.

When Maria arrived, she saw Bob running behind Lawrence and following him around. He was wearing a mini-sized camouflage uniform and covered in sweat.

Every time the adults dropped on the ground and crawled, he also did the same thing. He was particularly nimble and agile for his age.

The Hakim stopped not far away, attracting many people's attention.

Seeing Maria's car, Meagan rushed over to greet her. "Hey, Maria."

Maria got out of the car and gave Meagan a hug. "Long time no see, Mrs. Lu."

Meagan chuckled. "Mrs. Lu? Why are you being so formal with me?"

After the two women chatted for a while, Meagan said, "I'll call Bob over here."

"Okay." Maria looked lovingly at the little figure not far away.

Meagan took a breath and shouted, "Bob!"

The boy's name was so familiar to the soldiers that someone in the training team said, "Bob, you're going home to drink milk."

"It's time for your diaper change, Bob."

The soldiers burst into laughter. Bob stood up from the ground and turned his little head toward the call.

When he saw Maria, he jumped up happily, ran, and screamed, "Mommy, Mommy!"

The soldiers turned very curious when Bob called Maria his mommy. The boy had been with them for a very long time, but not once had they gotten a glimpse of his parents. They all followed Bob with their eyes.

The next moment, they were all amazed. One of them even asked Lawrence, "Captain, does Bob's mom have a boyfriend? Can you introduce me to her?"

"No wonder Bob is so handsome. It turns out that his mother is so fucking good-looking."

"Oh, I envy him for having such a beautiful mother."

Lawrence was speechless. "Let's continue!" he barked.

'How dare these bastards covet my good friend's wife? I'll teach them a lesson!'

When Bob rushed to his mother's arms, Lawrence's men withdrew their envious eyes, turned around, and threw themselves back into hard training.

Maria picked up the boy and kissed him on the cheeks over and over.

Bob clung to Maria's neck and rested his head on her shoulder, unwilling to let go.

It was an hour later when Lawrence finished his training. When he returned to the apartment, Maria had already bathed Bob and dressed him with a new set of clothes she had bought for him.

Seeing Lawrence back, Meagan took out a lilac dress, put it over her body, and showed it to him. "Is it beautiful? What do you think?"

"Put it on," Lawrence answered.

"I have just tried it on. It fits me well."
