A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 65

If Maria made those videos go viral, the share price of Tang Group would plummet, and the consequences would be dire.

Taking a little time to consider this, Alina hit on a solution. "Ron, go ask James for help. Remember to be polite."

She didn't want to dismiss the lawsuit—she still wanted to teach Maria not to mess with her. Her last hope was to ask James for help.

"Why bother? Alina, just dismiss the lawsuit. It's that simple! We lost this one. So what? There'll be another time!" Ronald didn't want to beg anyone for help, even if it was James, his future brother-in-law. People always came to him for help. They tried everything, begging, flattering. Why should he do the same?

"You idiot! Just do as I tell you!" Alina didn't have many chances to lord it over Maria. So when an opportunity like this came along, she would jump on it.

Alina would never give in, so Ronald had no choice but to turn to James for help.

So, the very next day, Ronald showed up bright and early. He got some coffee from a cafe in the HL Group building. He hopped an elevator and got off near the CEO's office. The man made sure to wait there so he could catch James as he walked in.

Ronald almost never came here. And he'd certainly never been on the executive floor, so close to the CEO's office. But that was to be expected. He and James didn't run in the same circles. Yes, James was going to be his brother-in-law, but that was a recent development.

Ronald was not used to getting up early, so he couldn't stop yawning. He was bored, so he looked around a bit. Staring at the ceiling, examining the decorations in the hall, he gave the designer high marks.

He also planned to decorate the building of Tang Group like this when he became CEO. He just as quickly changed his mind. He wanted better interior design than this.

At half past seven, James showed up.

Ronald's eyes lit up. He straightened up his clothes and ran to him with a flattering smile. "Hey, James! Remember me? Alina's brother, Ronald."

The man was kind enough. He stopped and looked at his future brother-in-law. "What's up?" As soon as James reached the company building, he got the news that Alina's brother was waiting for him.

"Not here," said the young man. Ronald took a look at Lorenzo, The assistant stayed behind James, standing by. Alina's brother was a little perturbed. "Maybe your office would be a better place to talk!"

Two men entered the CEO's office.

Ronald followed James and looked around. He tried his best to be unobtrusive.

'Holy shit!' he exclaimed inwardly. James' office was all decked out, and with myriad high-tech devices that he had never seen before.

The CEO sat down at his large mahogany desk, took a sip of water, and said, "Go ahead."

"Well, you see, I have this problem..." He didn't hide his envy. Ronald sat down in a leather-upholstered chair, and opened his mouth to say more.

He was interrupted by a knock at the door. It was a female secretary who came in to bring a cup of tea to Ronald.

The secretary set the tea in front of the young man, and he couldn't tear his eyes from her face.

'Damn! Even the secretary working for this guy is mega-hot! Wow, those slender fingers! Beautiful! ' Ronald was drooling.

The secretary didn't seem to notice anything untoward. She put the tea on the table and walked out of the office.

After the door was closed, Ronald came back to his senses. That was when he found James had been staring at him all this time. He coughed awkwardly and continued, "Ahem! It's Maria Song. After she attacked me, she got my videos and wanted to expose me! As a man, you should understand that affairs are personal, and should remain that way." Ronald thought that a wealthy guy like James should have more women than him. Perhaps he had done a better job keeping his private life confidential.
