A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Chapter 192 Respect Dancing

"Mr. Xi, please don't worry. We'll talk after I've finished the conversation with Mr. Wang." Maria wanted to buy some time so that she could think about how to make James happy. After all, she made a lot of promises to Mr. Wang without even telling James in advance, which made her feel guilty.

James fell silent.

Mr. Wang was not stupid. He smiled and pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose. He had already made up his mind.

Honestly, he did not really believe Maria, much less the company that she had just started.

Since she could make James the guarantor and she dared to interrupt him for a conversation, Mr. Wang could tell that the relationship between the two was not ordinary. He would like to cooperate with her for the sake of James. If anything happened in the future, he planned on going straight to James.

Mr. Wang cleared his throat and said, "Ms. Song, I understand what you've said. Everyone knows that quality is the most important in a project. If you can guarantee that the quality of the product is excellent and it speaks for itself, I'll be fine with that."

Maria was overjoyed upon hearing his words. She glanced at James, who was wearing a slightly sullen expression, and reassured, "Of course! I am an honest businesswoman. I'm eager to gain a firm foothold in the city. You can rest assured that I'll definitely do this project well."

What she had promised actually came from the bottom of her heart. Mr. Wang had experienced the same situation she was currently in, so it was natural for him to understand where she was coming from. The company's initial development relied on its reputation. It needed time so that Maria could gain what she wanted in H City.

Mr. Wang nodded in response. "Mr. Xi and Ms. Song, if you are free, you can have a tour of my company. If you have no other concerns, we can sign the contract then."

As a matter of fact, he wanted to maintain a good relationship with James. But in order to do so, he had to cooperate with Maria.

Knowing that she had gained the opportunity to work with Mr. Wang on the project for certain, Maria felt relieved. She poured a glass of liquor for him and said, "That's not a problem. Just tell us when you're free, Mr. Wang."

"How about the afternoon of the day after tomorrow? I'll be on a business trip tomorrow and will come back by then."

"Deal!"

An hour later, Mr. Wang left. Maria sent him off herself. When she came back to the private room, she closed the door and sat on James's lap. She then wrapped her arms around his neck and coquettishly said, "James, we made it! I'm so happy. Why do you seem discontented?"

Maria was ecstatic. On the other hand, James did not seem so. She tricked him! Why should he be happy? "The guarantor? Soren Li? Give me an explanation." If he was not mistaken, he had to be the middleman for Soren and her.

Maria did not take his outburst seriously. Instead, she pecked on his lips and said seductively, "Oh, I'm sorry. Would an apology suffice?" "Nope." "An apology can't even satisfy you? Hmm. How about this? I'll give you fifty person of my first return on investment of this project." Maria believed that her offer was generous enough to make him feel better.

However, James was unconvinced. He pulled himself away from the woman who was trying to dwell on the trivial facts and avoid the important matters. "It's not about the money."

Maria decided not to pester him anymore. Instead, she got up and sat next to him. She then picked up a piece of pork using her chopsticks and brought it to his lips. "I know that, but it's not your loss. Don't be mad anymore. Please forgive me, okay?" she said with a smile.

James looked at the pork that was being served to him and replied sternly, "I don't eat pork. I eat human flesh."

Hearing this, Maria choked. She knew what he meant, and she had to satisfy him. With that, she stood up and held his arm. "Let's go, Honey. I'll take you out to eat human flesh."

A smile flashed across James' eyes, but he returned to his normal self right away. "Let go of me. It's not appropriate for you to do this," he said in his usual cold tone.

Maria looked at him and gritted her teeth in response. "You'd better think the same way later."

James lowered his head and sealed her lips with a kiss. "You'd better be arrogant as well later," he retorted with his lips attached to hers.

Maria fell silent. When facing a beast in bed, there was no way she could continue being arrogant.

In the evening, the battle in Fairview Villa was quite intense.

Perhaps it was because of Maria's protest at James' grandparent's house that he did not leave the Fairview Villa immediately after.

Later that evening, Maria had no idea whether James slept soundly or not. Nevertheless, she had a good sleep because he had warmed her bed up. When she woke up in the morning, he had already left for the company to work.

Everything was going well according to Maria's plan. Not long after, Daniela joined the reality show.

After her performance, one of the judges criticized her unexpectedly. "Did you pay someone to join this program? Did you really think that that was dancing? Could you respect dancing even a bit? Besides, what the hell were you singing?”

The atmosphere suddenly became cold, and the audience burst into an uproar. Embarrassed, there was nothing Daniela could do but smile awkwardly at the judge. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"What are you smiling at? I'm not kidding!" the judge snapped.

Daniela was furious that she was being humiliated, so she fired back, "I've attended a variety show before and got a prize. You can search for the video if you don't believe me."

On the electric screen, someone played the video of her dancing in another show to win the prize.

To everyone's surprise, the judge began to express his displeasure after watching the video for only thirty seconds. "Did you think you looked good in that dress? Wasn't that the latest arrival of Fashion Galaxy? You looked like a village girl who was trying hard to be pretty. Thanks to you, the dress is completely ruined."

The audience burst into an uproar once again. Meanwhile, Daniela could not help but cry on the stage because of the judge's mean remarks.

'Who the hell is this judge? Wherever I go, I've always been everyone's apple of the eye. Nobody dared to talk to me like that! Right now, there are thousands of people watching the show!' she thought to herself while she was choked in sobs.

Although she looked pathetic, the judge's heart did not soften because of her tears. He stood up and asked loudly, "Where's the director? How could you put such a person on the stage? You just wasted my time! Don't you know that you're also insulting the artists who are more qualified to join this program?"

The scene was very awkward. None of the people present stood up for Daniela. The audience were unsure whether it was because nobody dared to do so or because nobody was willing to stand up for her.

The show was being broadcasted live. It was already too late to cut off that segment, so everyone who was watching saw everything. In an instant, the video garnered fierce reactions and heated debates on the Internet.

Tear-stained, Daniela left the filming site at once. Her assistant, who was sitting in the car, was too scared and panic-stricken to speak.

Daniela cried for a while, and took out her phone to browse the social media. Aside from her, there was another person who was trending.

That person was trending at the moment because of her.

Like Daniela, that person started her career as a celebrity by shooting travel vlogs. Daniela opened that person's home page and found that she had about ten million fans, several million more than her.

She clicked the comment section of the first video. The top comment read, "Compared to yours, someone's video is just rubbish and boring! Guess who? Her surname is Song."

"We're all here to see the scenery. Who even wants to look at her face? She's not pretty anyway. Her face and figure aren't even that good."

"I have no idea why she suddenly became famous. I heard that she has a backer."

The comment section of the reality show was swarmed with negative comments. Netizens were blatantly cursing and insulting her. Some even sided with the judge. They said that he was absolutely right for doing that to her, and it was actually a gentle remark to save her dignity.

Daniela was so furious that she almost smashed her phone into pieces. She thought hard for a long time and finally realized that these negative comments must come from those paid Internet trolls.

She guessed that the person behind these paid Internet trolls must have been jealous of her and wanted to give her a hard time.
