A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Chapter 97 Fuck Off

Maria couldn't help but inwardly curse Ethan for being so uncooperative. Since she couldn't force him to drink, she irritably put down the glass on the table. She had forgotten that he was not Lawrence. Unlike Lawrence, there was no tacit understanding between them at all. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

At the thought of it, she fell silent and just stared at James, who was still holding the two young women in his arms. Her facial expression turned cold at once. She opened her mouth, "Ja..." But the next second, she decided to give up and shut her mouth back. She realized that with her current position in his life, she had no right to ask about his sexual activities.

However, James heard her voice. So he shifted his gaze to her and asked, "What's up?"

"Nothing," she replied, shaking her head. Maria scolded herself for her own impulsiveness. When she overheard Ethan and Lawrence's phone call earlier that James wanted some women in their private room, she flared up with rage and followed Ethan. As a result, she was now in an awkward situation sitting beside him.

She just realized how embarrassing she was, looking like a clown who tried hard to catch James' attention.

With this realization, Maria stood up, turned around, and walked towards the door. Ethan and James were both confused. They couldn't understand why she would suddenly walkout.

However, Maria stopped at the door. She was so pissed off that her body was trembling. How dare James openly flirt with some women after raping her!

Her hand rested on the doorknob, ready to open it anytime. But she was still struggling inwardly.

Ethan, who had now come back to his senses, stood up and walked towards Maria. He held her hand, opened the door, and pulled her out of the private room.

Maria didn't see it coming, so she was forcibly thrown out before she could even resist.

Standing in the hallway, she stared at Ethan with sharp eyes. "Look, Ethan. Why are you trying to send me away? James is my man. I can't allow him to have sex with any other woman after having sex with me."

Ethan met Maria's gaze. He thought that he had to make things clear to her so she would wake up from her dreams. "Maria, James will be engaged to Alina soon. You have nothing to do with him anymore. So who are you to interfere in his private affairs like this?"

He didn't mean to hurt her. But as a friend, he just wanted her to be sober and face the fact.

Ethan's words made Maria feel a little embarrassed. She knew he was right. In fact, it was also the reason why she hesitated just now. She was aware that she didn't have the right to meddle in James' affairs anymore. But she also justified why she went furious. James had raped her that night in Fairview Villa. He should not find other women and flirt with them.

Maria stood still in the middle of the hallway, deep in thought. She wondered what she should do next.

Although she knew that she shouldn't care about this trifle, she felt uncomfortable every time she thought about it.

She couldn't just let them go so easily.

"Mr. Nan? How are you?" Ronald's voice calling out Ethan rang out in the corridor.

When Maria looked back, she saw a group of people coming towards them. They were Ronald, Kent, Elaine, and a pretty young woman.

She just ignored them, pushed the door open, and went back to the private room.

It was too late for Ethan to stop her, so he just watched her as she walked into the private room and stood in front of James. She then said to the two young women in James' arms in a kind tone, "You two, leave now. I need to talk to him.

However, the two young women just turned a deaf ear to her. They didn't care about her words at all. Amused by her weird behavior, they exchanged glances, shrugged, and focused on James again. They couldn't let this opportunity slip their hands. It was rare for women like them to hook up with someone like James. How could they give up such a chance just because of a strange woman?

Thus, neither of them moved away from James.

Rage surged up in Maria's heart at once. She didn't care if James ignored her, but she couldn't allow the two young women to treat her the same. After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself, she turned to James. She suppressed her anger and said, "James, I know that you only want to have fun. But tonight, you are so unlucky that I've caught you. I won't allow you to do this kind of thing, so you'd better tell them to leave now. Otherwise, don't blame me for what may happen to them."

"What does it have to do with you?" Elaine's voice came through.

Maria turned around and saw Elaine and the others standing at the door and looking at her.

She looked at her mother in the eye and sneered, "And what does it have to do with you either, Mrs. Song?"

Elaine was wearing a black cheongsam and a set of expensive jade jewelry. From the way she dressed, anyone could tell that she was a madam from an affluent family. When Maria fearlessly talked back to her in front of everyone, her facial expression darkened at once. She rebuked, "Maria Song, what right do you have to get involved in Mr. Xi's business? Don't forget that he will soon be

engaged to Alina, not to you. You intervene in your cousin and her future husband's relationship. Don't you know that you are making yourself look like a shameless mistress?"

Maria raised her eyebrows and glared at Elaine. She almost couldn't believe that Elaine would call her a shameless mistress?

Her knuckles turned white as she balled her hands into fists. Glaring at her mother with hatred, Maria said through clenched teeth, "What right do you have to say that to me? Who do you think you are? I just want Alina to experience all the things she had done to me years ago. And you're calling me a mistress? How about Alina when she came between James and me? You are my biological mother, but have you ever tried to protect or defend me?" Maria wanted to laugh at the ridiculousness of things. She was Elaine's daughter, but Elaine criticized her in front of other people because of Alina.

"You are not even qualified to be called a mother. Who do you think you are to criticize my morality?"

Maria's words reminded James of the things that happened eight years ago. It was true that Alina was close to him. But it was only because of some businesses he had with the Tang Group. There was nothing between him and Alina at that time. Every time she communicated with him, it was all business-related.

He couldn't understand why Maria thought that Alina had ruined their marriage.

Being rudely scolded by Maria, Elaine was pissed off and snapped, "Maria Song! How can you talk to your own mother like that?"

This time, Ronald also took the opportunity to put on an act. "Maria, before you talk to Aunt Elaine like this, think about the baby you've killed. Don't you feel sorry for the Song family and the Xi

family? How can you still be so arrogant?" He touched Maria's sore spot on purpose. Finally, he found the perfect opportunity to teach her a lesson. He would not let her go so easily.

Maria went furious at once. Ronald had no right to say anything about Arthur. As her eyes turned red with rage, she picked up a glass on the table and smashed it towards the group at the door. She growled, "All of you, fuck off!"

They all screamed and dodged the glass.

"Maria Song! You don't only disrespect your own mother. You even dare to hurt her?" Ronald shouted, adding fuel to the fire. He was actually having fun watching the scene.

Maria stood still and glared at Ronald, wondering if she should smash him into pieces.

All of a sudden, the room fell into pin-drop silence.

James, who was still sitting between the two young women, didn't say a word either. It was Ethan who first broke the silence as he couldn't stand it anymore. He took the initiative to say, "Well... Mr. Tang, we all know that Maria has cut ties with Song family long ago. So why should she feel sorry for the Song family? Mrs. Song, with regards to James and Maria's relationship, the two of them can't even figure it out themselves. We are just onlookers here. We'd better stay out of it. Do I make sense?"

Elaine was on the verge of losing her temper, but she tried hard to suppress it for Ethan's sake.

Actually, she didn't know Ethan at all. But James had been protecting him all the time. Everyone in H City treated him with the utmost respect and politeness.

Ronald knew that he made Maria unhappy. But he didn't notice that there was already something wrong with her mood. His heart was filled with joy, thinking that he was able to bully her this time.

So heedless of Ethan's dissuasion, he arrogantly said, "Yes, Maria has broken up with the Song family. But she still carries the Song family name with her. Everything she does can still affect the reputation of the Song family. Besides, Alina is my sister. I can't just stand at the side and watch her destroy my sister's love life. Do I also make sense, Mr. Nan?"
