A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 66

James' office quieted down again. It was only then that the cold aura he emanated somehow dissipated.

Ronald's last sentence lingered in his mind. Was it really true that Maria had another man in her life before they got married? When he attended the party with Alina back then, people said the same thing about Maria.

Now, James couldn't help wondering who that man could be.

But there was only one thing he was sure of. Maria was still a virgin when she married him.

On their first night, he knew that she wasn't just acting. She was really shy and nervous. Then the next morning, he saw some bloodstains on the bed sheet. Judy had even sent a maid to clean up their room that day.

All of a sudden, James felt like his head was in a mess, particularly when Maria's charm and beauty flashed in his mind.

He was so annoyed that he stood up and kicked the chair away. He then walked to the fridge, took out a bottle of cold water, and drank a big gulp. The bottle was almost half empty. Somehow, he felt that the fire that kindled inside his body was extinguished a little.

Perhaps he had been too busy with work these past years that he had forgotten about his sex life. That was why he was easily affected every time Maria deliberately teased him.

Recently, the fire in his body seemed to have become more sensitive that it easily rekindled. If Maria would think of sneaking into his bed one day, he must be very cautious. He had to restrain himself to the extreme.

As soon as Ronald left James' office, he called Alina. "Alina, what the fuck is James doing? He doesn't even want to help his future wife and brother-in-law. He doesn't care that we're in trouble. Are you still going to marry him? You'd better leave him. He doesn't love you at all."

The last sentence just casually came out of Ronald's mouth, but it severely irritated Alina.

She had always known this fact, but she just didn't dare to admit it.

"Ronald Tang, you're such a lunatic! Whether James loves me or not is none of your business, you loser!"

"Why don't you just accept the fact that he doesn't love you? He doesn't even want to help you with such a little thing." Ronald was quite angry now, so he deliberately went against Alina. After all, if it weren't for her suggestion, he wouldn't have come here so early in the morning just to be angered by James.

Alina had just woken up when Ronald called. She couldn't help scratching her disarray hair and said, "You must have said something that you shouldn't have said. When I told him that I'd sue Maria, he was very supportive." She thought that Ronald was really a troublemaker and a loser.

"Really? You are the best, then. So go and ask your James for help. Don't bother me to beg your own boyfriend again. I don't want to be involved in this matter anymore. If you really have no other way, I will withdraw the lawsuit. I'm the plaintiff, anyway. I don't want Tang Group to be destroyed because of Maria Song." The truth was, Ronald felt threatened. If Maria exposed his videos to the public, Clayton would surely beat him. And most importantly, he wouldn't be able to continue living a playboy life. The gain was not worth the loss.

When he felt that he had finally vented his anger, Ronald hung up without giving Alina a chance to retort.

Looking at his phone, he shook his head and muttered in a low voice, "You are already thirty, and yet, you are still stupid. A great man knows when to yield and when to not. Do you have to wait for Maria Song to expose the evidence? You are the lunatic, not me."

Alina tossed her phone away, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling blankly. The more she thought about it, the more furious she became. She felt like her heart would explode because of the anger.

But she had to remind herself not to act rashly. Maria was not the same stupid woman before. She had to give it careful thought.

Hence, when Joshua called her to ask about the lawsuit, she said, "Please wait for a few days. We just need to fix some problems first."
