A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 55

Alina didn't have time to regret that she was caught in a lie. She just took a deep breath and walked towards James, who emanated a cold aura. She then held his arm and said in a soft tone, "James, please don't be mad. I'm here to pick you up. Let's go back together."

James didn't say anything. He just nodded, turned around, and walked to the parking lot with Alina. They then got into her car together.

As soon as they were both seated comfortably in the car, Alina handed him a document. "James, this is the lawyer's letter prepared by Mr. Zhou. Can you check and tell me what you think about it?"

James turned to glance at the document without taking it from her hand. But he saw that it was for Maria.

He then said lightly, "Just let him take care of it. He has the full authority on this matter."

"Okay. Ron has been staying at home until now. The injury at the back of his head hasn't fully recovered yet, so he doesn't feel comfortable going out. Maria has gone too far this time. The Tang family will definitely sue her." It sounded like Alina was just explaining to James. But the truth was, she was testing him. She wanted to know how he would react since the Tang family was going against Maria this time. "Hmm," James responded nasally. He didn't say anything more.

"By the way, Maria said that when you went T Country for a business trip, you took her with you. Is it true?"

"No," James curtly replied. He didn't bother to explain anything.

Alina breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he said that he wasn't with Maria, she believed him. "All right. I won't bother you now so you can take a rest. I'll just wake you up when we arrive at the company."

"Okay."

Few days had passed, Maria's life went on as usual. Today, she was busy all day. But she had not forgotten an important event tonight—the family gathering of the Song family.

She closed her laptop and kneaded her eyebrows. She knew that she had to brace herself for what might happen later. She would be facing the members of the Song and Tang families. It would definitely be a hard battle.

She checked her wardrobe and eventually decided to pick out a strapless red long gown. It would certainly reveal her beautiful figure incisively and vividly. There were still some bruises on her arms, but she didn't feel bothered about them at all. She simply covered them with foundation while she was doing her makeup. To complete her outfit for tonight, she put on a set of diamond jewelry and a pair of black diamond-encrusted high heels.

Maria made sure that she was well dressed for the occasion because she wanted to show the Song family that her life went well after she finally cut ties with them.

A Rolls-Royce Phantom took her to the hotel.

Before long, the vehicle pulled over at the entrance of the hotel. The driver got out and opened the backseat door before the hotel staff came over. He said politely, "Ms. Song, here we are."

Daniela was also walking towards the entrance of the hotel. When she noticed the luxury car and heard "Ms. Song," she slowed down her steps. Her brows creased in confusion. As far as she could remember, no one in their family had bought a new car recently.

Then she saw a pair of black diamond-encrusted high heels coming out of the car. It was then followed by a red silk gown, and finally, a stunning face.

The moment Daniela recognized who the woman was, her eyes widened in shock. She then exclaimed in disbelief, "Maria Song? Is that you?"

Before Daniela was another woman. She was Carolina, who was about to step into the hotel when she heard Daniela mention their youngest sister's name. So she stopped and turned around.

Indeed, it was Maria who was getting out of the fancy car.

For a moment, the expression in Carolina's eyes became complicated. She stood rooted to the spot and quietly stared at Maria, who was smiling at her.

From the way she looked tonight, Maria had really changed a lot. She was very much different from six years ago. It was as if she was reborn.
