A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Chapter 309 Swindler

Just as Maria had expected, he didn't let her go till quite late.

Before passing out, she said in a daze, "Are you done?"

He was amused by her question and chuckled, "There are some things that don't need to be done in one night. We have plenty of time and we can do it every night." He wouldn't have let her go so easily if she wasn't this tired already.

Because she was too sleepy, Maria felt like her mind was dull and slow. She wasn't even sure whether he was joking or not.

The second morning, when Maria opened her eyes, James had already washed up and was wearing a tie in front of the mirror. She was still angry at the thought that he tortured her like that last night.

With a cold face, Maria turned over and snapped at him, "Thank you, Mr. Xi. I was very satisfied with you last night. I would like to pay you for your excellent service. You worked so hard last night. Is one hundred thousand enough?"

James had done his tie, he didn't even raise his eyebrows at her rude question. Instead, he simply took out his phone and dialed a number. "Summer, let President Yu preside over the morning meeting today. I'll be there later."

Hearing this, Maria sat up quickly and tried to rush out of the bedroom.

She moved very fast, but he moved even faster than her. Before she could touch the doorknob, a long arm appeared on her waist. "Ah!" she screamed out of fear.

The man's heavy breath fell on her ear, "One hundred thousand, I'm very satisfied with the offer. Ms. Song, pay me two hundred thousand and I will do it to you again."

"James, what do you think of yourself?" Maria said in a trembling voice.

"Whatever you say." He took two steps forward, and Maria was sandwiched between the man and the door.

Intimidated by his overwhelming presence, she pulled a bitter smile, "I have no money now." Even if she did have money, she didn't dare to give him any.

"Well, good for you, I have money. I'm not as mean as you. Let's do it again. Plus what happened last night, I can pay you fifty million. What do you say?"

Her face instantly went feverish. Should she agree reluctantly for the sake of this huge sum of money? However, she felt pain all over her body. She almost died when she ran over from the bed just now. "Okay, okay, but," The rest of her words were sealed by a hot kiss. She curled up her ten fingers on the back of the door and gazed at him, "Let's do it again. But I will pay up later."

"What do you think?"

He chuckled but didn't give her the chance to answer the question. Maria's mind was a mush now. She thought his idea was simply amazing.

However, it was a pity that he only showed her the correct answer with his actions.

In the end, Maria had to beg for mercy with a pitiful look on her face and promised to pay him back in double some other day that he finally reluctantly let her go.

Maria liked to bear grudges, so he took it as a prank on her by James and kept it in mind.

Even after she finally received fifty million from him, her heart only softened for one second. She still thought him as one cruel and evil bully. She complained in her heart and secretly took the huge sum of money as her own.

The next a couple of days, she had been deliberately hiding from him and always found various excuses not to see him.

The two of them had been in a stalemate for a few days till James finally lost his patience.

She behaved like a swindler of money and lust, disappearing as soon as she got the money from him.

If she thought that she could hide from him, then she must be in her dreams!

At noon, Maria was about to have lunch in the company's restaurant. When she stepped out of the door of her office, she received a call from Summer. She casually answered the phone with a smile, "Hey, Summer."

However, before the person on the other end of the line could speak, a baby's cry came from the phone first.

Maria felt the noise was very familiar.

After about ten seconds, Summer's panicked voice sounded in the phone, "Oh, Maria, Bob is here in the company. He was fine just now, but now he is crying for no reason. What should we do?"

Summer had no experience in taking care of a baby. Looking at the crying baby, she felt helpless.

It turned out to be Bob crying. No wonder the noise sounded familiar. Maria's heart clenched because of the continuous loud crying sound. "Why is Bob here in the company? Who brought him here?" "Mr. Xi brought him here early in the morning." Several assistants as well as Summer had been busy looking after the baby the whole morning.

"Bob sounds really sad! Why doesn't he look after the baby himself?"

Glancing at the man not far away from her, Summer gritted her teeth and lied, "Mr. Xi is busy now. I really have no choice."

Maria felt angry, she snapped, "Let him answer the phone!"

Summer gently shook Bob's cradle and then trotted over to give the phone to James. "Mr. Xi, Maria asked you to answer the phone."

James took over the phone unhurriedly and put it beside his ear. He then greeted her calmly, "What's up?"

Maria was utterly speechless at his attitude. He was the one who turned right into wrong and it was him who asked her for help. But now he made it look like as if she was the one who begged to talk to him! "Bob has been crying all the time. Don't you care about him?"

"Does his crying have anything to do with me?"

'What a shameless man!' cursed Maria in her heart.

"Then why did you bring him to the company?"

"Grandpa and grandma want to have some free time of their own. I have no choice."

Maria gritted her teeth and pretended to be cruel, "He is not my child. Fine, let him cry his heart out then! I'm hanging up!"

Knowing that she wouldn't compromise easily, he didn't worry too much about her threat and simply murmured, "I didn't bring milk powder with me when I left home. I think he must be hungry now. Let him cry then. He is not my son anyway. If he starves to death, it will only be his parents' fault."

His words successfully enraged her. As the baby kept crying, Maria couldn't ignore him. She sneered at him, "James, you are so cruel!"

"Ms. Song, I'm flattered!" If he was not ruthless, how could he won his wife's heart? As for the baby, he made sure he wouldn't cry too long.

"If you don't have the ability to take good care of him, then don't take him with you next time. You should know better than harm the child!" Maria was so angry that she hung up the phone without giving him a chance to speak.

Deeply worried about little Bob, she quickly picked up her coat and rushed to HL Group.

James returned the phone to his assistant and grinned, "Well, thank you for looking after the baby today. Go to No. 8 club to relax after work. It's a treat you deserve. I'll pay all the fees."

It had to be said that Maria was good at choosing allies. Summer as an assistant was indeed more flexible and suitable for various occasions. She did a much better job than Lorenzo.

No. 8 club, another high-end entertainment venue in H City. Dining, drinking and clubbing were all top-grade enjoyment to the guests.

Summer carefully tested the temperature of the milk before she handed the bottle to Bob. Seeing him happily sucking onto the bottle, she gave James a relieved smile. Then she trotted over to take her phone back and said, "Mr. Xi, you're very generous. This is what I should do."

"Thank you. You are now excused."

"But Bob is too young to be left alone," Summer cast a worried glance at the baby. "I have to watch him drinking the milk in case he chokes," she quickly explained. The baby was too young to hold the bottle for long. What if the bottle fell off his hands and hit his little toes?

"I will pay attention to him." The little baby had just helped him. He couldn't be ungrateful. James was confident that he shall take over from here.

Hearing this, Summer was relieved and went back to her seat.

There were only the father and the son left in the office. James helped Bob to hold the feeding bottle, but Bob didn't appreciate it at all. He stared at him with his big tearful eyes, tilted his head and dodged his helping hand.

Seeing this, James frowned slightly, "Come on, are you angry with me?" He stared at the cute baby in disbelief.

"Plop! Plop! Plop!" The little guy simply sucked the bottle hard and did not respond at all.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
