A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 481

Maria received a phone call from Peggy. "Mrs. Xi, your charms are extraordinary! Although your love has gone through some rough patches, I still envy you!"

"Why did you say that all of a sudden?" asked Maria.

"Aren't you aware of it yet?" said Peggy.

"Is there something important I should know?"

Peggy rolled her eyes. "Maria, you shouldn't focus all your attention on your work. You should check Weibo from time to time. Maybe you'll find yourself on the hot search list, and have become the heroine of the love story envied by thousands of people!"

Maria was at a loss for words.

'Is Peggy saying that I should check Weibo right now?'

She then opened Weibo that she hadn't seen in a very long time. A few minutes later, she finally found out what had happened.

Photos of James going to the airport to pick her up in person had already been posted by several reporters. Some posted, "Mr. Xi picked up Mrs. Xi in the airport in person." "Don't you envy their love?" "James and Maria embraced each other and kissed at the airport."

James must've approved the release of this news. The photos did show them kissing, while she was taking the bouquet of roses from her hands. And another photo showed them leaving the airport hand in hand.

Maria didn't seem unhappy in these photos. What the public perceived was that they were happily in love, and nothing out of the ordinary was happening.

When she saw how great those photos were, Maria thought that she should poach the reporters who took them, and hire them to become part of Fosun Entertainment Group.

HL Group's official account reposted a picture of them kissing at the airport. In that post, the company said, "We'd like to raise a glass to this public display of affection of Mr. and Mrs. Xi! By the way, the bouquet of 999 Blue Snow Roses that have been specially developed by Mr. Xi for his wife is something to be envied as well!"

Maria didn't know what to say about this.

It was so obvious that James was the culprit behind these posts.

Mentioning that she was Mrs. Xi, the roses, and the reporters were all a part of his plan.

Those who didn't know the truth would assume that they had gotten remarried, but in reality it was just a fluke!

Maria decided to ignore the Weibo accounts who sent her some private messages. She then locked her phone, and glanced at the bouquet of roses nearby.

Lately, James had been very considerate of her. He had given her a string of Buddhist beads in JT Nunnery, and she still hadn't had the chance to return that gift. He had been giving her various luxurious items recently, and his latest gift was these specially developed roses.

She walked over to smell the unique fragrance of these flowers. This was a scent that she had never smelled before, but she had to admit that its light aroma suited her preferences.

She had never seen or heard of these roses before, and it turned out that James' people were the ones who genetically engineered them into creation.

Once more, she took out her phone to send him a message. "Put a media blackout on the top search list about us."

"I will, if you promise to stay at the manor tonight," James replied.

"Never mind then!"

"Okay," he responded quickly.

At this point, Maria didn't know what to tell him. 'Bastard!'

A few days later, she and James met at a formal banquet involving their business associates.

This sort of party was a common occurrence to them, and it was rather difficult for them not to meet.

However, this time, Maria wasn't alone. She was holding onto a man's arm, and it wasn't James. He knew that she was going to attend this banquet, so he came early to save her a seat next to his.

Maria's companion for the night was also wearing a suit. He was tall, handsome, and charismatic. People could tell that his body was in shape underneath all those clothes.
