A Vengeful Ex-Wife
Chapter 298 Disdained To Lie

Maria helped Bob put on the newly bought shoes while coaxing him. Seeing the woman's careful behavior, James was lost in thought.

Was this woman way too kind to this unidentified child?

Was it true that women liked children very much after they became mothers?

The shoes were a little big, but fortunately they wouldn't fall.

Maria put on the hat she bought for Bob, picked up the baby, and showed it to James. "Look, I think yellow is better, and his face is so fair, isn't it?"

James didn't go to see the baby for the first time. Instead, he stared at Maria. Her face was full of a loving smile, which was from the bottom of her heart. He asked curiously, "Do you like this fish so much?" Maria rolled her eyes and said, "Grandpa, look at James XI. He always says Bob is a fish!"

Augustine picked up the crutch beside him, knocked on James' leg, and said angrily, "Give birth to a fish for me! Since you don't have the ability to give birth to a baby, just take Bob as your son and the great- grandson of our Xi family!"

James didn't dare to utter a beep. He just endured the hit on the leg. Seeing that, Maria chuckled. James pursed his lips unhappily. "You seem to be happy that I'm beaten, don't you?" "Of course, you have to be taught a lesson!" The woman swayed the baby in her arms complacently.

James sneered. He thought to himself, 'It's just a child, isn't it? Why do they all treasure him so much? I'll make a child with Maria tonight!'

Maria was afraid that her lie would be exposed, so she held Bob for a while and handed it to James. "Hold him now. I'm tired."

"I won't hold him." He would never forget that the fish had ever shitted in his hands.

Maria was dissatisfied. "Why are you so heartless? After all, it was Grandpa who found him back. He might be your son in the future."

"I don't want a fish..." The man's last words were automatically withdrawn because of the woman's gaze.

Besides, Maria showed him a long face and asked, "Will you hold him or not?"

Taking a glance at the little boy who was sucking his hands, James said, "I can hold him. You have to promise me one thing though."

"Hold him first. Then I'll promise you."

James shut up. He took the baby over and held him with his hands as usual.

Maria corrected his gesture. "You have to hold him like this. He will feel uncomfortable if you hold him with your hands. Yes, you put one arm like this. Right!"

James was speechless. In the future, when the fish found his family, he would definitely ask his parents for a huge amount of money.

Which family was so lucky? They not only let his grandparents to raise their child, but also made him to hold the baby well.

He turned around with Bob in his arms and looked at Augustine. "How's the matter with his parents?"

Augustine had already made up an excuse, knowing that his grandson would ask. He replied calmly, "Many parents have come these days, but they are not Bob's family. We are still looking forthem." He said as if he was telling the truth. Besides, James always believed in his grandfather. In his eyes, Augustine was a man of integrity and disdained to lie. So he believed whatever Augustine said.

Before leaving, James received a phone call before getting on the car back to the downtown. Then he told Maria, "They are divorced."

"Who?" The topic was too sudden for Maria to react.

"My father."

Maria was a bit shocked. It happened so suddenly. "How did Judy agree to sign the agreement?"

She thought that Judy would never sign it even if she died.

"Grandma has gone there in person." With Grandma's presence, Judy must sign.

"Grandma wasn't at home just now. Was she dealing with this matter then?"

"Yep."

Maria nodded. "Did your father agree?" As far as she knew, Sebastian loved Judy and his heart was soft.

"Yeah." Even if his father didn't agree, his grandma would replace a way to get him to agree.

After a long while, James continued, "Judy is no longer a member of the Xi family. You can do whatever you want to her."

Maria remained silent with a slightly complicated emotion.

"Are you serious, James Xi?" She was implying something.

On the one hand, she asked him if he was serious about asking her to deal with Judy. On the other hand, she asked him if he was serious about her.

James found an opportunity to look back at her and nodded. "I have found the evidence to prove my innocence. Your imprisonment at that time has nothing to do with me..." Well, it did have something to do with him. "I'm not the mastermind." After all, when Maria needed help most, he stood opposite her like everyone else.

Maria didn't say anything more. She needed time to think it over, and at the same time, she needed to think about the reason why James had done so.

He had told her that he had nothing to do with her imprisonment. In fact, she believed him, or she wouldn't have recorded her two conversations with Judy earlier.

But James still chose to replace the truth and showed her that he indeed had nothing to do with it...

Was it necessary for him to do so?

Maria didn't know at this moment.

After sending Maria back to her company, James also went back to HL Group.

As soon as Maria entered her office, she received a call from Mr. Zhou. Hearing his words, Maria asked in astonishment, "Whom did you say Grandma was going to transfer the shares to?" "To you, Ms. Maria Song," Mr. Zhou answered with certainty.

Maria gaped.

She was a little flustered. She rubbed her forehead to calm herself down and said, "Wait a minute. I'll call

Grandma."

"Okay."

When the call was connected, James' grandmother's voice came from the other end of the line. "Maria, did you call because of the shares?"

"Yes, Grandma. Mr. Zhou said..."

"Yes, he's right. But it's not as simple as you think to get the shares in the hands of your grandfather and me. The share transfer agreement won't come into force until you get remarried with James." Remarrying James? Maria was a little depressed.

"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma!" She didn't refuse again.

Because in Maria's view, it was impossible for her to remarry James, and their relationship could only be like what they were now...

"Maria, please don't make us wait too long!"

Hearing the old woman's eager hope, Maria was speechless and had a complicated mood. "Grandma, I'll try my best."

"Okay."

At last, Maria couldn't help asking about Bob, "What is Bob doing? Did he cry?" Although she just broke up with her son not long ago, she still missed him very much.

"Don't worry. He's a good boy. He won't make trouble unless he's hungry or uncomfortable. Your grandpa and I feel quite easy when taking care of him." Bob was as lovely and easy-going as James was when he was a child.

"Well, that's good, then. Grandma, I'll visit you when I'm free."

"Okay."

Reluctantly, Maria hung up the phone. Then she sat in her office, lost in thought.

Now that James had told her that Judy had nothing to do with the Xi family, she didn't have to hesitate anymore. She had to strike while the iron was hot and never give Judy a chance to retaliate against her. Maria sorted out the documents in her hands, and then called James. "I want the evidence that Judy framed me up and put me into jail."

"Sure."
