A Vengeful Ex-Wife
Chapter 233 Kick Your Daughter

'What I used to do?' Jonathan frowned as he wondered what else Maria knew about him.

Seeing that her husband went quiet, Mrs. Jiang continued, "To be honest, I'm curious about one thing. Ms. Song, how many men did you sleep with to achieve your achievements?"

Seeing that they went too far, Chandler, who had not uttered a word for a long time, cleared his throat and said, "The food is getting cold. We should eat now."

Elaine tugged his sleeve and whispered, "Why did you have to interrupt them?"

Chandler, who had a long face, pulled his sleeve out of her grasp.

Regardless of his order, nobody at the table obeyed him.

With a sneer, Judy chimed in and echoed Mrs. Jiang's words. "Well, I'm not surprised. It's only normal for a promiscuous woman like her to do such a thing. She seduced her husband's younger brother while she was still married."

Her husband's younger brother? Was she pertaining to Cooper?

The others dumbfounded upon hearing the news that Maria had once seduced Cooper. They believed what Judy had said. Suddenly, a chatter erupted at the table.

"It's fortunate that the Song family decided to cut ties with that shameless woman!"

"That's right. I'm glad that Mr. Xi divorced her."

Meaningless accusations and speculations came one after another.

People must live a life full of integrity, no matter how rich or poor they may be.

Despite being the source of a canard, Maria seemed unfazed. She glanced at the others indifferently and asked, "Can't we just eat?"

She was aware that it was almost impossible to share a meal with them. Even so, she felt an urge to ask them that question.

Well, even if they did not want to eat, Maria did not mind making a fuss.

Just as Elaine was about to say something, Carolina interrupted her. "Mom, let's talk about it later. Let's ask them to serve the hot dishes now. The banquet will begin soon, and it's now getting late." Without waiting for Elaine's response, Carolina motioned to a waiter not far away to start serving the hot dishes.

"Do you think that she still has the gall to eat with us?" Elaine asked while glaring at Carolina, who seemed to be helping Maria.

So as not to be heard by anyone else, Carolina retorted in a low voice, "Mom, don't forget who helped the Song family get through the crisis. I'm not asking you to be good to Maria, okay? I just want you to shu up."

"You..." Elaine was taken aback by her daughter's response, rendering her speechless.

Although Elaine did not dare to speak again, it seemed that others wanted to. Today, Maria came there alone. This day was a rare opportunity for those who wanted to seek revenge.

Mrs. Jiang sighed heavily and said in a helpless tone, "I can't bring myself to eat when I see her face. If it weren't for this bitch, our family wouldn't be reduced to this."

The truth was, if she had not asked her father to pull some strings, Jonathan would not be able to sit here, unscathed. It was only for the time being, though. Jonathan was still in big trouble. Maria smiled sweetly and asked, "Mrs. Jiang, since you can't eat, why don't you just leave? Don't ruin our appetites."

"Who is the one ruining our appetites? Maria, you really are an insolent woman!"

The hot dishes were served shortly after. Even so, nobody moved their chopsticks yet.

Meanwhile, Alina was watching the waiters as they served the dishes. While doing so, a mischievous idea came to her mind.

She casually picked up her wine glass and quietly walked aside. While the others were too preoccupied to notice her, she came up to a waitress and whispered something in her ear. The waitress glanced in Maria's seat and nodded.

A few moments after, Alina walked towards Maria's direction and greeted with a smile, "Mr. Jin..."

The person whom she called was sitting next to Maria.

At that very moment, the waitress came back with a scalding bowl of soup and walked towards Maria.

Everything happened in an instant. All of a sudden, the waitress screamed in horror. Before Maria could even look at what had happened, she felt an excruciating pain in her back. Clang! The bowl fell to the floor, spilling its contents on

the carpet.

"Oh my God! How could you serve dishes like that? Look! The soup scalded the guest," Alina reprimanded the waiter.

Seeing the disaster, the waitress trembled in fear. The tray, on which the bowl of soup was placed, fell to the floor with a loud sound.

She wanted to defend herself, but seeing Alina's menacing look, she knew that it was better to keep her mouth shut.

Maria's face was pale and it was obvious that she was in extreme pain. Carolina stood up from her seat and went to Maria's aid right away. "Are you okay, Maria?" she asked with concern. She then turned around and scolded the waitress. "What did you do?! Bring your manager here and tell him to bring a scald ointment. Quick!"

"It's not me..." the waitress mumbled.

Maria's eyes were closed while she held Carolina's hand.

After a moment, she suddenly opened them, and she stared daggers at Alina. Before Alina could even react, Maria slapped her across the face. The slap was so strong that the sharp sound echoed in the place.

"Maria, what are you doing?!" Miranda was infuriated with what she had seen that she pounded the table angrily.

Judy also stood up and chimed in, "How dare you do this to my future daughter-in-law?"

While enduring the sharp yet constant pain in her back, Maria slapped Alina in the face for the second time. "Do you still want to show off your cheap, dirty trick?"

She knew at once what had happened. She did not even need to ask. She knew at a glance that Alina must have bumped into the waitress, who was carrying a steaming hot soup that time, on purpose. As a result, almost half of the hot soup spilled on her back.

Maria had always tried to protect herself from Alina. However, the latter unexpectedly succeeded tonight.

Alina touched her cheek that had been hit. With tears in her eyes, she asked, "Maria, are you crazy?!"

"You're right. I'm indeed crazy!" A murderous look flashed across Maria's eyes and she weakly added, "I'm crazy that I'm dealing with you slowly."

Miranda pulled Maria aside and shouted at the top of her lungs, "How dare you hit my daughter?!"

With a sneer, Maria replied, "Don't worry. I won't only hit your daughter, but I will also kick her!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she bypassed Miranda and kicked Alina, who was clutching her bruised face, in a flash.

"Ah!" Alina screamed and staggered backwards.

Maria kicked Alina so hard that the latter almost felt like she was dying.

At that moment, Clayton could not sit still any longer. He strode towards Maria and shouted, "Maria, stop it! You're so vicious!"

However, she was not yet finished. Seeing that Clayton was rushing towards her, she stretched out her arms and waited for him to get near enough. Once he did, she performed a suplex on him with all her strength.

"Ah!" Clayton shouted. He fell to the floor with a loud thud. Since he was a man in his fifties, what Maria had done to him rendered him unable to move for a long time.

"Honey!" Miranda was in a dilemma. She was panicking that she did not know whether to check on her daughter first or her husband.

Fearing that Maria would do something next, Carolina pulled Maria while the latter was walking towards Alina. "Maria, please don't...."

"Get out of my way!" Nobody could stop Maria from teaching Alina a lesson. She shook off Carolina's hand and glared at the woman who was helpless on the floor. "Do you remember how you kicked me back then?"

When she returned to H City, James forced her to drink. That evening, Alina kicked her mercilessly as she lay on the floor.

To Alina's surprise, Maria pulled her up and kicked her again, even harder than the first one.

"Ah!" Alina screamed in pain. Maria's kick sent her flying to the wall.

At that moment, the door opened, and James walked in. He happened to see Alina on the wall. Then, his gaze shifted to the murderous woman on the scene.

The man's eyes widened in shock. It seemed that he came a little too late.

While he was working, he received a call from Summer. She said that Maria might be in trouble because she would be meeting the Tang, Song, and Jiang families in a private room at the same time. He knew right away that she would be in trouble.

After hanging up the phone, James put down his work and rushed over as soon as possible.
