A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 62

Eventually, James shook off Maria's chin rudely and said through clenched teeth, "If you don't get out of here in one second, I will throw you out in pieces."

Maria didn't say anything. She just exhaled heavily and glared at him.

But when she noticed that he looked away, she took advantage of the opportunity. Before he could know it, she already held his hands tightly.

James was stunned as he didn't see it coming. And while his body froze, Maria tiptoed, kissed his lips, and bit his lower lip to bleed.

Before he could react, she quickly jumped away from him. The taste of blood in her mouth gradually dissipated her anger. She licked her lips wantonly and turned her body towards the door in an enchanting way. "I wonder how you are going to explain that to Alina Tang," she said complacently before going out.

The bite marks she had left on his lower lip would take a few days to heal.

"Maria Song!" James roared behind the closed door.

Maria heard it, but she didn't mind. Instead, she tossed her long hair behind her back and gracefully walked out of the HL Group, looking triumphant.

But as soon as she got in the car, the complacent look on her face vanished. Alina had done something to expedite the lawsuit, so she had to find a way to deal with it immediately.

Yesterday, she had just received the lawyer's letter, and the court hearing would commence in two days.

If she didn't abide by the requirements of the law, she would be put in jail again. When that happened, she knew that Joshua would do all his best to deal with her.

Since things didn't work with James just now, Maria had to find another way to overcome this.

She thought for a while before giving her lawyer a call. "Let's accept the challenge. Get a copy of the hotel's surveillance video ready."

After talking with her lawyer for a few minutes, she called another person. "Investigate Ronald and Alina. Dig deeper and find all the scandals related to them."

Her battle was about to begin, so she needed to be combat-ready.

She wasn't able to provide direct evidence to prove that Alina was responsible for drugging her. It'd been so many years, and the person who drugged her was too difficult to find. During the entire day, almost all employees of the HL Group had noticed the bite marks on James' lower lip. Alina had heard about it in the evening. After her work, she couldn't wait to see James, so she rushed to HL Group as soon as she could.

When she arrived, James was about to start with his scheduled conference. It was supposed to be a video conference, but he requested to change it into a voice conference. Alina checked his lips. There were a few bite marks on his lower lip.

"James?" she exclaimed in a low voice, trying to suppress the jealousy in her heart. But she couldn't hide the questioning look on her face.

Alina wondered who could have done it to James. As a woman, she knew what it was. A trace of fury flashed across her eyes as she thought who could have dared to provoke her this way.

James glanced at her, signaling to her to sit down first. His conference was more important. No matter how urgent Alina's concern was, it was not his priority. He could talk about it with her after he finished his work.

Alina didn't dare to interfere with his business either, so she had to quietly sit on the sofa not far away.

She took out her phone and sent a message to Lorenzo. "Who were the women who came to James' office today?" Alina knew that James didn't leave the company today. She should have gone to Lorenzo's desk first to ask everything that happened in the company the entire day before she went to James' office. But she was too excited to see James that it didn't occur to her.

Since Lorenzo didn't hide anything from Alina, he sent her the names of the women who came to see James today.

Alina's eyes were glued to Maria's name. Her hunch was right. Besides, there would be no other women who could be as bold as Maria when it came to James.

'Maria Song, you are such a shameless bitch!' she thought to herself as she went furious. Last night, Elaine had taught Maria a lesson in front of James. She didn't expect that Maria would still have the audacity to come to James today.
