A Vengeful Ex-Wife
Chapter 151 Part Ways

Miranda was rooted to the spot in shock. On the other hand, Clayton wore a long face. He calmly ordered his secretary to shut down the projector connected to the LED screen. Sebastian and Judy were also very surprised. They both wondered who the woman in the photos was. Of course, it couldn't be Alina.

With a gloomy expression, James stared at one of the photos. It was taken when he was on a business trip in P City. It was when Maria ran to him and hugged him tightly. In a trembling voice, Alina whispered to his ear, "James, Maria..." 'Damn you, Maria Song!' she cursed inwardly. If only she could, she wanted to chop Maria into pieces. James withdrew his gaze from the photo and scanned the hall to look for Summer. When he couldn't replace her, he asked another secretary, "Where is Summer?"

"Mr. Xi, Summer has just left to go to the bathroom. If you need anything, please let me know."

With a darkened expression, James ordered coldly, "Shut down the LED screen!"

He had never expected that Maria could still make some trouble after having her being guarded carefully.

However, no one could stop him from getting engaged to Alina tonight.

"Yes, Mr. Xi," the secretary answered before he hurriedly went to the control booth.

When the secretary left, James called John. "Where is she?"

"Ms. Song said that she has a private pilot license, so she flew the helicopter by herself and went to see the night view," John answered truthfully.

James sneered. Maria was really something. He didn't even know that she could fly a helicopter. And now, she managed to flee out of his manor.

The banquet hall was still in chaos. Fortunately, the LED screen on the stage switched to standby mode after five minutes. The banners on both sides had also been pulled down.

But the discussion in the crowd continued. "Mr. Xi has always been a man who looks aloof and keeps distance from women. It turns out that he is just pretending. He even has a mistress."

"I didn't expect that the man I have been idolizing is a scumbag. He even forced his woman to have an abortion. I'm so disappointed!"

"Who is that woman? She has hugged and kissed Mr. Xi freely. I envy her so much!"

Guests, especially the women, were whispering to each other.

A few moments later, the crowd became quiet again. They all thought that it was over. However, the black LED screen lit up again.

This time, it was a video. A woman wearing a wedding dress was standing on the rooftop of a building. With her back to the camera, the hem of her wedding dress and her long hair were fluttering in the wind. James recognized the wedding dress at once. It was exactly the one that Maria tried on last night.

The woman looked like Maria both in figure and hairstyle.

She lifted the hem of the wedding dress and walked to the edge of the roof. Everyone gasped and their heartbeats went abnormally fast as they continued to watch. They were worried that she would fall down unexpectedly.

Finally, Clayton came back to his senses. He rushed to the backstage where the projector was and roared, "What is going on? Didn't I tell you to turn it off?"

The employee was at a loss. "Sorry, Mr. Tang. The computer is not working properly."

"Not working properly?" Clayton asked in disbelief. He took over the mouse and moved it twice, but it did not respond. He was so angry that he slammed the mouse to the floor. "Then shut it down!"

The man answered in a weak voice, "I've tried several times but it didn't work either." They were not computer experts, so they only knew basic computer operations.

With his trembling fingers, Clayton pointed at the computer and ordered, "Smash it!"

"Yes, Mr. Tang," the staff answered, lifted the computer, and smashed it on the floor.

Finally, the video on the screen disappeared. But it was too late. Everyone had already seen enough information to gossip.

In the video, the woman on the rooftop sat down on the edge, which scared everyone watching. She then turned around.

James felt a little relieved when he saw her face clearly. She wasn't Maria.

The woman only had a figure and hairstyle very similar to Maria's.

As the cold rain fell on her hair, the woman looked at the camera and said with a smile, "James, Alina has poisoned me to get you. But you still want to get engaged to her even though you know how vicious she is. Now that you've dumped me, what reason do I have to continue living? James, you know how much I love you. Remember, I die for you."

The woman then stood up from the eaves and stretched out her arms. When she was about to jump off the building, the screen went black.

The crowd burst into an uproar because they wanted to see what happened next. They all wondered if the woman really jumped off the building.

In the end, regardless of Alina's and the Xi family's persuasion, James turned around and left the hall with a livid face.

On his way out, he inadvertently saw Summer standing in the corner, so he said coldly, "Whoever dares to spread a word about what happened tonight is against me!"

"Yes, Mr. Xi," Summer replied with a nod. She felt like her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

When she saw that James was leaving, she quickly took out her phone and dialed a number. "Maria! Maria! Mr. Xi has left! I guess he will look for you. You'd better run away now."

Maria, who was directing the woman to act on the rooftop, trembled when she heard Summer's warning. The script in her hand fell to the floor. As soon as she came back to her senses, she ordered the stylist and the photographer to leave separately.

She then took out a card and gave it to the actress. "Hurry up. Take this card and go away. The farther, the better."

The actress, who was also trembling with fear, nodded vigorously. "Don't worry. I have already booked a flight. I will never come back to H City for the rest of my life." Actually, she was also afraid that James would kill her, but she couldn't resist the temptation of the amount that Maria had offered to her.

"Go now! Go!"

When James arrived at the rooftop, the spot had been cleaned up, and there was not even a slight trace of the woman.

He took out his phone and made a phone call. "I want Maria's whereabouts in ten minutes!" The anger in his cold voice was very apparent.

The rain gradually became denser. James went down of the building and got into his car. He thumped the steering wheel heavily and cursed inwardly, 'Damn you, Maria Song!'

Thanks to Maria, James made a fool of himself for the first time in his entire life.

A few seconds before the tenth minute, James received Maria's exact location. She was heading to the Lu family's villa. His black Harkim immediately made a U-turn and sped up towards that direction. Maria intended to seek refuge in Lawrence. However, before she could even see the gate of his villa, she was stopped by the black Harkim.

James got out of the Harkim and walked towards her car. He knocked on the window of the back seat.

Maria's heart was hammering. She couldn't believe that he would replace her this fast.

"Open the door!" James roared. Obviously, he had already lost his patience.

Finally, before he could smash the window, Maria opened the door.

Before she could even get out, she was pulled by his long and muscular arm. He pressed her against the car and clamped her chin tightly. "A baby? Maria, I don't know when you have become capable of getting pregnant after taking contraceptive pills."

The rain started to pour down on Maria's long hair. She smiled apologetically and said, "James, take it easy. It's all a misunderstanding."

'Misunderstanding?' The strength of James' hand holding her increased. "If you dare show up in front of me again, I will not only make you pregnant but also dig out the baby in your belly!" After saying those words, he forcefully released Maria, who bumped into the car embarrassingly. If she hadn't been holding the door handle, she would have fallen to the ground.

As the rain was getting denser and denser, James turned around and left.

Maria looked at his receding back and sneered, "James, I wish that you and Alina part ways as early as possible.

James paused. His assistant immediately walked over to him and held an umbrella above his head.
