A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Chapter 349 Beat Up Jamir Yuan

Photographed was a pregnant woman at an intersection, waiting for the light to turn green. It seemed her bangs annoyed her, because she was reaching up to tie her hair.

As she did so, her whole face came into view of the camera.

James' eyes lit up. He was so sure that, although Maria had a big belly in the photo, it couldn't have been taken when she was pregnant with Arthur. At the time, Maria was quite young and dressed very low-key.

But this photograph showed her wearing a mature yet fashionable outfit.

A dark green windbreaker draped over her shoulders, framing a loose black dress underneath. On her feet, she wore a pair of flat shoes. The delicateness of the dress's fabric accentuated her round belly.

Gary gulped nervously. "This photo is from Mr. Cooper's assistant."

Cooper?

James fished out his phone from his pocket and dialed Cooper's number. Gary took the hint and quietly left the office.

On the other end of the line, Cooper had just stepped out of the shower when his phone started ringing. Glancing at the caller ID, he swiped to answer. "Hey, bro."

"Are you sleeping?" "Not yet, I just got home." It didn't take long before Cooper realized the purpose of James' call.

Sure enough, James didn't beat around the bush. "Maria was in America for a while. Did you know about that? Were you taking care of her then?"

"She did come to America," Cooper confirmed cryptically. But he didn't offer any more information.

Through gritted teeth, James hissed, "You truly are such a good brother. Even now you take her side!"

"You'll thank me."

Thank him? James wanted to beat him up.

Even if Cooper didn't say anything, James got the answer he wanted and hung up the phone. Distressed, he ran his fingers through his hair.

What was he going to do with Maria? Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Meanwhile, Maria had just arrived at her office.

To her surprise, Summer's husband, Jamir Yuan, was waiting for her there.

At first, Maria didn't know him; she just saw him as a shabbily dressed man in front of her company's building. Summer had never gotten around to introducing him to her.

As soon as she got out of the car, the man stopped her.

She looked him up and down skeptically. The man was wearing a denim coat over a T-shirt and a pair of sneakers.

"Who are you?" she demanded.

"You must be Maria, right? I'm Summer's husband. I want to talk to you." 'Summer's husband?' Maria studied the man once more. He was good-looking and tall enough, but there was a certain rage in his eyes. It seemed he was here to make trouble.

Seeing this, Maria felt something explode within her. However, she held back her anger and forced a sweet smile. "Come with me."

She led Jamir Yuan to the reception area and the two sat opposite each other. The secretary, noticing her boss had brought a guest, immediately prepared a glass of tea for him.

But when she was about to serve it, Maria said, "No, thanks. We're not going to waste some tea on this jerk."

Jamir seemed taken aback. But his surprise quickly turned to rage.

When the secretary was gone, he hissed, "Ms. Song, I advise you not to meddle in my affairs."

"Is that why you came here?" As she spoke, Maria typed rapidly on her phone. "Are you feeling better?" she texted Summer.

"Because of you, Perry was fired by HL Group. Now, she has nothing to do but cry at home every day. Plus, she's pregnant. Don't you know how much this all will affect her health?"

Maria placed the phone on the coffee table and locked eyes with Jamir menacingly. "She's pregnant?" she asked softly.

"Yes," he snapped. "Yet you slapped her—more than once! If something happens to her, can you afford to shoulder the responsibility?"

Maria crossed her arms over her chest. 'What a jerk! Summer must have been blind to have married him.' "Do you know that Summer was pregnant?" she asked.

"Yes, I know. But she had a miscarriage, didn't she?"

His tone was relaxed, without a trace of sadness— as though he said something unimportant.

That was the last straw. Something within Maria snapped. She suddenly grabbed the phone on the table and hurled it at the man. "You son of a bitch!"

Jamir managed to dodge the flying phone and it crashed into the wall behind him.

Bang! The phone fell to the floor, its screen cracking all over.

Ignoring the fate of her phone, Maria slapped her hands on the table and stood up abruptly. "I'm telling you, Jamir. Even if your mistress had a miscarriage because of me, I could afford to shoulder the responsibility."

Jamir gritted his teeth, knowing he couldn't retaliate. He knew Maria was James' woman, and no one dared to lay a finger on her. "I just came here to talk about Perry's job. I was hoping you'll stop meddling and allow Perry to work in HL Group."

Everyone knew how well the HL Group treated its staff. Jamir didn't even have the chance to work for the company.

"Huh? Are you tripping? I'll never give her job back. In fact, I'll make sure the two of you can't get a job in H City!" With a sneer, Maria went over to pick up her phone to make a call.

However, the hairline cracks on her screen rendered it useless. In a fit of rage, she hurled it Jamir again.

This time, Jamir wasn't able to dodge. The phone collided into his chest with a heavy thud.

"Maria Song! Don't push me!" he growled.

"Oh, please. Do you think that's all I'm going to do to you?" And with that, Maria rolled up her sleeves and pounced on him.

"Take this!"

Maria threw a punch at his nose.

Jamir thought he saw stars in his vision. Then, he felt a warm, gooey liquid trickling out of his nose. Wincing, he reached up to touch it. His expression changed dramatically when he realized it was blood. "Maria Song, are you crazy?!"

"You're the crazy one!" Maria shouted, adding another kick.

Hearing the commotion, Peggy rushed in to stop Maria from beating up the helpless man. "Maria, what on earth are you doing?"

Maria shot Peggy an angry glare and barked, "Get out of my way! If I don't end this bastard's life right here, I won't be able to look Summer in the eye!"

"That's Summer's husband?" Peggy jabbed a finger at the bleeding man. She had more or less heard what happened to Summer.

"Yeah, that's him."

Hearing this, Peggy turned around and calmly asked the secretary to close the door. When they were alone, she too rolled up her sleeves and said, "Maria, let me help you."

The two women exchanged a knowing look. Then, they sprang into action. One held the man in place while the other beat him violently.

From outside the reception, people could hear the pained wails of the man and the angry cries of two women. 'TH make you sorry, you son of a bitch! I'll blow your head right off!"

"How dare you come to me? You're so dead!"

By the reception door, the two secretaries looked at each other, trembling in fear.

Only now did they find out about their elegant boss's dark, violent side. Hearing the man's screams, they knew how ruthless Maria was being.

Ten minutes later, two security guards came up and dragged out the man covered in blood and bruises.

"Get out of here!"

When Jamir was thrown out, Maria headed back to her office and used the landline to call James. "I'm going to avenge your assistant! Would you like to join me?"

"Maria, what were you doing just now?" She sounded like she was gasping for breath.
