A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 60

After hearing James' order, Lorenzo was delighted. He felt that there was still hope for him to continue working in HL Group. So he nodded heavily and replied, "Yes, Mr. Xi." He would definitely do his best to urge Joshua every day to prioritize Maria's case.

James' car stopped in front of a luxurious villa halfway up a mountain in the east of H City. He got out of the car and said, "Don't pick me up tomorrow morning. Just wait for my call."

"Okay, Mr. Xi."

James put his index finger on the gate's electronic lock, and the whole three-story villa lit up.

The luxurious interior of the villa was

breathtaking. Even Lorenzo, who had been here many times, couldn't help but gasp inwardly every time he saw its inside from the door. James' villa was worth billions of dollars. Lorenzo knew that even in his lifetime, he could never afford such an opulent dwelling. How he wished he could also come in and look around!

Although he had driven James back to this villa countless times, he would only stop at the door and wait for James to get in. Every time he picked James up, he would only press the doorbell and wait outside. When James opened the door, he couldn't resist peeping in.

The land surrounding James' villa was three hundred thousand square meters, and the floor area of the villa itself was five thousand square meters. Behind it was the Paarl Mountain, and next to it was a forest that served as a natural oxygen bar. The villa looked so mysterious in people's eyes. This was indeed true because aside from John, who was James' butler, a few close friends, and his brother, no one else had entered his villa.

Right after James locked the door, the phone in his pocket rang. He unlocked the screen and found that it was a WeChat message from Maria.

"James, since you got wet because of me and I want to show my gratitude to you, I will buy you a suit."

James furrowed his brows. Why was she his WeChat friend? Where did she add him on WeChat? Once again, James admitted that Maria was really capable.

Before blacklisting her, he replied, "You stained my car too. Why don't you buy me a new car?"

"Well, your car is worth more than a hundred million dollars. I can't definitely afford to buy a new one. How about I pay for the car wash? Or perhaps I can compensate you in another way. How about having sex with me? What do you think?" James couldn't help but groan. He really didn't want to talk with Maria anymore. When he was about to block her, the scene when she was taking a shower in the hotel just now flashed in his mind.

Cursing in a low voice, he tossed his phone on the sofa and strode upstairs to his bedroom. He wanted a cold shower right away.

Maria waited for James' reply, but there was nothing. She just gave it a shrug as if she didn't care. She stared at the extinguished cigarette butt in the ashtray for a few seconds, then her lips curved into a smile.

She was amused to find out that the famous CEO of HL Group could also smoke a woman's cigarette. Maria could already imagine how bad James' mood was just now.

After taking a shower, James went downstairs again to get his phone. He saw another message from Maria sent ten minutes ago. It wasn't flirtatious, though. "Seriously, James, why did you get out of the car earlier?"

Instead of replying to the message, he locked the phone screen and opened the fridge. He took a bottle of water and gulped down half of it.

But before going upstairs, he unlocked his phone again and finally replied to her message. "Because he is also my baby." Maybe through it, he could let her know that he also understood her pain. Maria was covering her face with an ice pack when she read James' reply. For a long time, she just stared at the screen. She didn't reply anymore. Did he really think that he knew her well? No, he didn't understand her at all. Because if he did, they wouldn't have divorced and ended up like this.

At first, Maria didn't want to reply to him. But suddenly, she felt the urge to do so. "Don't forget that I just got slapped in the family gathering of the Song family. What does it have to do with the baby?"

James couldn't help but sneer when he took a look at her new message. Perhaps Maria really believed that she had hidden herself pretty well. Eight years ago, she was too eager to cut ties with Song family. She even secretly ran out to stop his car. If she was able to do such a thing in the past, how could she let the Song family emotionally control her now?

It was already three o'clock in the morning when Maria closed her laptop and checked her WeChat. There were a lot of messages, but none of them was from James.

Well, she didn't really care.
