A Vengeful Ex-Wife

It was a hot summer day. The woman in a black sportswear and sneakers showed up in front of the Audi. She was also wearing a black baseball cap, black mask, Bluetooth headset, and a pair of big

sunglasses. Her entire get-up hid her real appearance.

Fortunately, the driver was quick enough to step on the brakes, so she was not hit. He honked a few times, but the woman remained motionless with her hands in her pockets. Obviously, she wasn't planning to move aside. She was staring at him, who was about to open the door.

But before he could make any move, she quickly rushed over, opened the door of the driver's seat, and hit him on the nape. It was so strong that he passed out before he could even protest.

Mr. Wang, who was sitting in the back seat, witnessed everything. His heart skipped a beat when he saw that his driver was now unconscious. All his instincts told him to open the backseat door and run away. However, as soon as his foot stepped on the ground, the woman pulled a sack over his head. In an instant, Mr. Wang found himself in the sack's darkness. Feeling uneasy, he yelled, "Who are you? What do you want from me? Do you want money? I can give you a lot of money." The woman just ignored him and knocked him down. She then forcibly kicked him into the sack and dragged it into the nearby alley. Meanwhile, a silver Bentley was galloping along the asphalt road of T Country. While driving, Lorenzo was reporting the progress of his work. James, in the back seat, was listening to him with eyes closed. When he finished talking after a few minutes, he drove quietly so as not to disturb James' rest.

Lorenzo turned the car at the corner and passed by an alley. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw an Audi parked on the roadside. The door of the driver's seat was half-open, so he saw that the driver was unconscious.

Upon recognizing the car, he stepped on the brake to pull over. He wanted to see what was going on.

The moment he rolled down the window, he heard some faint moans coming from the alley.

James, who wondered why they suddenly stopped, opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Xi, that's Mr. Wang's car. I think something is wrong."

James also rolled down the backseat window and looked at the alley. He also heard some low moans of despair. Then they both saw a woman with her back on them, fiercely kicking a big sack. It was only then that they realized that the moan was coming from it.

Since the woman was so wrapped up, James couldn't clearly see her face. But her chestnut curly hair tied in a ponytail looked so familiar to him.

After a short while, Lorenzo softly asked, "Mr. Xi, shall we go there to have a look?"

James didn't respond. He just continued watching the scene silently.

Lorenzo also kept quiet. He couldn't do anything without James' permission, so he didn't dare to make a move.

A few minutes later, the woman finally removed her cap and sunglasses. Perhaps she got tired of kicking the sack, and she felt too hot. She was not aware that two pairs of eyes were keenly watching her every move. James and Lorenzo were both stunned when they recognized that the woman was Maria. None of them uttered a word.

Maria looked so different now. She was no longer the elegant and alluring woman they used to see in her backless gowns.

A trace of amusement flashed across James' eyes while staring at her. Lorenzo, on the other hand, hastily took out his phone, opened its camera, and took some photos of her.

Maria, still unaware that she was already photographed secretly, fanned herself with the baseball cap as if trying to relieve the heat.

After a few minutes of rest, she fiercely kicked the sack again, totally ignoring Mr. Wang's wailing.

'Screw you, scumbag! How dare you harass me!' she cursed inwardly. She was so furious that she couldn't wait for the dinner party tonight to seek revenge. In broad daylight, she beat Mr. Wang up.

The photos Lorenzo had taken clearly showed Maria's face when zoomed in. With a satisfied smile on his face, he put his phone back in his pocket. He couldn't wait to show them to Mr. Wang tonight. Maria would definitely be doomed.

However, he didn't expect that his plan would be stifled in the cradle.

"Give me your phone,"

James ordered in a flat voice from the back seat.

Lorenzo turned his head to look at James and asked, "Mr. Xi, is something wrong?"

This time, James reached out his hand and said in a colder voice, "Give me your phone."

Lorenzo was a little confused. But then, he immediately handed his phone to James. When he noticed that James opened the gallery and looked for Maria's photos in there, he understood what James wanted to do at once.

As he expected, James deleted the photos without hesitation. All Lorenzo could do was covertly clench the steering wheel with both hands.

At this moment, Lorenzo clearly knew that he was the one who was doomed.

Of course, James wouldn't tell Maria about what Lorenzo had done just now. But based on his actions, James was obviously protecting her.

Lorenzo realized that from now on, he had to do something. After all, he had dealt with Maria before.

James returned Lorenzo's phone back, closed his eyes again, and ordered coldly, "Go back to the hotel."

"Yes, Mr. Xi," Lorenzo replied as he started the engine.

In an instant, the silver Bentley silently left as if nothing had happened.

When Maria felt satisfied in beating Mr. Wang up, she put on her baseball cap and sunglasses again, opened the sack, and left in a swaggering manner.

Mr. Wang lay on the ground awkwardly. His face didn't have any injuries, but his body was badly wounded. He wanted to raise his head to see who the woman was, but his neck was too painful. His body felt weak all over. Before he could know it, Maria had already disappeared at the corner.

Maria was confident that no one would know what she did because before she stationed there to wait for Mr. Wang's car to pass by, she had checked the surroundings. There were no surveillance cameras there.

She walked through the blind spot and looked for a trash can. Then she quickly took off her sportswear, revealing a black silk dress she had worn under.

Maria threw the sportswear, cap, and mask into the trash can. Her black dress was not a good match for the sneakers, but since she looked imposing, the style didn't go against her at all.

But still, she went to a nearby shoe store and bought a pair of high heels.

After making sure that she didn't leave any trace, she hailed a taxi back to the hotel. She was now an elegant and graceful woman again.

When Maria got out of the elevator, she saw James, who was about to go back to enter his suite.

Without knowing that her "perfect mission" had been exposed to him, she quickened her pace and trotted towards him. "James!"

James' hand stopped on the doorknob and glanced at her indifferently without saying anything. He then pushed the door open and walked into the room as if he didn't know her.

Maria had reached the door before he could close it behind him, so her nose was almost hit. Her face flushed with rage as she was shut out.

Staring at the black wooden door in front of her, she made a face and murmured, "Jerk!"

She wasn't aware that he was watching her through the peephole.

James was actually a little confused. The more he thought about Maria, the more he couldn't understand her. In front of him, she was always a mature and enchanting woman. But behind him, she would scowl on his coldness and indifference, making her look so childish. He couldn't help wondering if she had been suffering from multiple personality disorder.

With her attitude, he couldn't think of any other possible reason.

Maria didn't bother to knock on James' door anymore. Instead, she turned around and went back to her suite.

Since it was too hot outside and it made her feel uncomfortable, she took a bath. When she felt better, she turned on her laptop and began to work. She made a call to someone and explained, "I've gotten some information about the charity project that the HM Group and HL Group want to take part in. It needs around two billion dollars and some technical experts to start the project. They need a long time to prepare for this project, so I think we still have enough time for recruitment. We must do our best to hire technical talents at all costs."

The person on the other end of the line took note of everything and said, "I get it. Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"Yes. The information you gave me last time about Colby Zheng was not accurate. I want you to continue with your investigation." "Yes, ma'am."

After working for almost half an hour, Maria turned off her laptop. She kneaded her eyebrows and went to the kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee.

While she was pouring some coffee beans into the machine, she seemed to have thought of something, so she added more coffee beans into it.
