A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 7

Seeing that, Ethan shut up right away. Then, with a shrug, he walked to the freezer and picked up a cold beverage. Ethan took a sip from the bottle and looked at James. "I heard that Norman Shen showed up recently. Last night, he took a woman covered in blood to the hospital. Who is she? What happened to her? Is she the same woman he brought to Alina's birthday party?"

James glanced at him coldly and asked, "What do I have to do with this?"

"Nothing, but I know you were there. Can't you just gratify my curiosity?" Ethan looked at James with puppy eyes. Rumor had it that Norman had specially brought a woman for James to see. Perhaps this woman also had something to do with James. As he thought of it, Ethan grew even more suspicious.

Ignoring Ethan's request, James sat in front of his desk and went back to his work. "If you have any questions, ask Summer." He didn't want to waste his time satisfying Ethan's curiosity.

Immediately, Ethan put down his drink and rushed out of the office to find Summer. Pulling her into an empty reception room, he asked, "Summer, please tell me. Who is the woman seen with Norman Shen? What happened to her last night?" In the beginning, Summer wouldn't tell him anything, but Ethan soon assured her that it was James who had sent him to her. So she gave in and replied in a low voice, "She drank too much and had gastrorrhagia." 'Poor Maria. It was such a pitiful scene!' she thought to herself.

"You mean she had stomach bleeding from drinking too much? Wow! Did she do it for money?" Ethan had seen a lot of people who overdrank in order to make money and then suffered from gastrorrhagia. Some couldn't even get to the hospital and would die at the bar table.

"No, that's not the case," Summer replied assuredly. She knew it because she was waiting outside when everything happened. "Mr. Xi particularly ordered three bottles of brandy and made her drink them."

As he heard this, Ethan muttered in confusion, "James made a woman drink three bottles of strong liquor? Who the hell is she? Usually, James just throws out anyone who offends him! But this woman, who he forced to drink, is still in H City! This is so odd." It definitely didn't seem like James' style of doing things. This was smelling fishy!

Summer got closer to him and whispered in his ear, "She's Mr. Xi's ex-wife."

"His ex-wife? Holy crap!" Ethan's reaction was quite exaggerated. Jumping up from the sofa, he made a fuss. "His ex-wife is back?" "Yes, you heard it right."

'James' ex-wife? How dare she come back now? And with Norman Shen?' Ethan thought with a frown.

When James divorced his ex-wife, Ethan was still a freshman in high school. He had heard many versions of the accident that took James' son's life back in the day. The cause of the accident was slightly different from version to version.

However, the conclusion from different versions was the same, which was that James' ex-wife wasn't taking good care of their son, and this led to the poor five-month-old baby's unexpected passing. Yet another speculated that she had killed her own son on purpose.

For a moment, Ethan wasn't sure whether he should praise this woman for her bravery or criticize her for being so heartless. She had killed James' flesh and blood and dared to come back to H City as if nothing had happened, not to mention that she hooked up with James' rival and was frequently showing up with him in front of her ex-husband.

As soon as he was done gossiping with Summer, Ethan rushed back to the CEO's office and asked, "James, why did your ex-wife come back?"

James cast a cold glance at him and gently reminded, "Ethan, you're a respectable man in H City. Why are you gossiping about a woman? It's early in the morning, and you're already so idle? Do you need me to give you something to do?"

Ethan was somewhat disappointed but didn't give up. Sitting down in the chair opposite to James, he asked again, "Do you think she came back to seduce you? You're now one of the top ten richest people in the whole world. Don't let her fool you, James!"

James didn't want to talk about that woman at all. His face grew even darker as he said, "Ethan, if you really have nothing else to do, you may go save a few extra stray dogs and collect more good deeds for your resume."

Ethan was a part-time veterinarian and was currently preparing for his postgraduate admission exam.

Frustrated, Ethan mourned, "Oh, James, don't mention it. Dragon passed away yesterday afternoon. I'm still heartbroken about it!"
