A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Chapter 400 Jealousy In The Air

For the next two days, Maria's WeChat Moments followed a similar style. Every night, she posted all kinds of snacks and drinks.

Of course, people like James, who had grown up wealthy, couldn't understand the joy of street food. As he tapped through the photos of the delicious food one by one, his face darkened.

He didn't know why this woman liked eating junk food so much. In the future, when he had the chance, he would take her around the world and show her what good food really was.

The fight between the two of them lasted until James went away on a business trip.

Maria only heard about his business trip from Summer. Apparently, he had to stay in T Country for a month.

A whole month! Even though they weren't talking, how could he not tell her such big news? It would be a lie if Maria said that she wasn't sad.

Nevertheless, she continued to post photos of all kinds of delicious food in her WeChat Moments, as well as photos of her having fun with her friends at clubs. James, who meticulously looked through all of her pictures, could tell that there were several men hanging out with them.

On the third day of his business trip, the posts in Maria's WeChat Moments had become even bolder.

This time, she posted a photo of a young and handsome man with the caption, "The top star of the night club! What do you think?"

What could he think? Even from afar, James had the capacity to let her know that he was unhappy with her post.

The very next day, the handsome man in her post was fired from the night club, and several projects of DS Group were in trouble again.

The fact that he could control her company with just a flick of his finger left Maria feeling annoyed and dejected.

Now that so many of the projects of her company were in trouble, she was no longer in the mood to continue having fun.

In this fight between them, she seemed to be on the losing end.

James knew that he could beat her easily when it came to business, so that was where he always chose to attack her.

However, Maria refused to accept defeat. She ignored those projects, and turned her attention to developing new projects in cooperation with a few other companies.

On top of that, she acted as if nothing had happened. The next day, she even asked Summer to go shopping with her.

As they were browsing a high-end jewelry store, she asked Summer about James' schedule as casually as possible. "Is he there to oversee the business of the new company? Why is the trip so long?" She remembered that, before the break-up, he had told her about how HL Group had a new subsidiary company in T Country.

Summer, who was looking at a pair of earrings, answered, "Yes. The new company has a female CEO. Mr. Xi is worried about whether she'll be able to handle the business well, so he intends to stay there and show her the ropes."

A female CEO? And James was going to teach her for a month?Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Maria felt a stab of jealousy in her heart.

But more than that, she scowled in irritation. This man was upset with her for caring about her savior, but he turned around and went abroad to flirt with another woman.

What a hypocrite!

Maria was uncharacteristically silent for a long time, lost in her own thoughts. Noticing the look on her face, Summer realized that she was upset about what she had said just now.

Putting down the earrings in her hand, she said reassuringly, "Maria, I've met the female CEO before. She's not as beautiful as you. Don't worry. You are the only woman in Mr. Xi's eyes. I can guarantee that!"

Maria snorted. "I'm the only woman in his eyes? Then why did he get engaged to Alina? If I didn't take the initiative to snatch him from her, he would already be married to her."

"You just said that you snatched Mr. Xi from her, right? But if he really loved Alina, you wouldn't have been able to do that," Summer pointed out.

"Summer, you don't know men. Even if he really loves me, it doesn't mean that he'll stay loyal forever. Men can't resist outside temptation!" Maria sneered. She had seen too many instances of married men with mistresses.

Even a poor man would cheat on his wife or girlfriend. What would stop a rich and handsome man like James from doing the same thing? No one knew better than Maria about just how many women wanted to seduce him. Aside from Alina, there were countless women who were dying to win his heart.

Men would only behave themselves when they were dead and buried.

"Don't you have confidence in Mr. Xi? Don't you believe in your love?" Summer asked, frowning.

Picking up a hairpin, Maria asked, "Do you still believe in love?"

Her question left Summer speechless. Did she still believe in love? Of course she didn't. But how could she tell Maria that she believed in James' love for her? Well, it was none of her business anyway. She decided to let James deal with it himself.

In the evening, Maria invited Peggy and Sandra to join them. The four women went to a restaurant and had hotpot together.

When they finished their dinner, Maria called Cooper and asked him if he was busy.

He happened to be having dinner nearby, so after he was done eating, he came to pick her up.

Being sensible women, Summer and Peggy left by taxi, while Maria pulled Sandra into Cooper's car.

In the car, Sandra, who had talked a lot during dinner, didn't say a single word. Only Maria and Cooper were chatting casually with each other.

Cooper asked, "Maria, don't you want to go abroad to see my brother?" "No, I don't. He has a beautiful CEO for company. Why should I disturb him?"

The smell of jealousy filled the whole car. Holding back his laughter, Cooper asked, "Aren't you worried?"

"What should I be worried about?" Maria snorted and shook her head.

"Forget it, then." After that, Cooper shut up.

'That's it?' Maria sighed inwardly.

Then, remembering her reason for calling Cooper in the first place, she glanced at the girl next to her, who was silently playing with her mobile phone. "Cooper, I just remembered, I need to go to a store to get a new suitcase. Can you just drop me off here?" She could only help Sandra to this extent.

"Okay." Cooper soon found a chance to park the car at the side of the road.

"Well, please drop Sandra home for my sake. I'll ask the driver to pick me up later!"

Hearing this, Sandra raised her head and looked at Maria in surprise. She opened her mouth to say something, but at that moment, she heard Cooper say, "Okay."

Maria gave the nervous girl a surreptitious wink and said, "Sandra, let's meet another day."

"Maria, how about I come with you?" Sandra asked softly. She was too nervous to be alone in such a small space with Cooper. What should she do?

Maria was so exasperated that she felt like hitting her forehead with her own palm. Why was this girl trying to give up such a good opportunity? "No, it's okay. You have an exam tomorrow, so you should get home soon. If Cooper is not busy, you can ask him to tutor you. He graduated from one of the top universities in

the world!"

Finally realizing Maria's intentions, Sandra blushed and said, "Okay. Mr. Xi, will you be free later?"

Cooper had actually already offered to tutor her before, but she hadn't dared to bother him. Now that she was getting another chance, she didn't want to miss it again.

"Since Maria asked, of course I will be free," Cooper replied cheekily. He was ready to free up his schedule even if he was busy.

Hearing this, Maria was speechless. She hadn't expected that Cooper would also be a moron in love, just like James. Why did he have to say such a thing?

She chuckled to lighten the embarrassing atmosphere in the car. "Well, I'll see you guys next time. Cooper, take good care of Sandra. She had a lot to drink, so make sure she gets home safe."

In fact, that was a lie, because Sandra had only taken a sip of the liquor.

"Don't worry, Maria," Cooper replied with a smile.
