A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Chapter 242 Go To Jail

Maria had asked the hotel for a new room, but it was useless. The couple, who were sitting opposite Maria and James in the indoor fishing hall earlier, were occupying the room next to theirs.

In the study, James closed his laptop and went to the bed. As he did so, he looked at Maria.

Maria snapped her book close and looked at him in the eye. "Now you know why I want to sleep with you, don't you?

No wonder she took the initiative this afternoon. Now, he figured out her purpose.

"In that case, what are you waiting for?" James untied the bathrobe belt around his waist and threw it aside.

Maria gaped. He was in such a hurry! Actually, she wanted to wait five minutes after the room next to theirs quieted down.

James was now into it. He took the book from her hands and cast it aside. Then, he pressed her body under his and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry. We'll outshine them."

Maria rolled her eyes. How could he be so confident?

At about eleven o'clock, there was a knock on the wall. Maria looked at James in the darkness and whispered, "She's angry."

"Moan louder,"

he ordered.

At about twelve o'clock at midnight, the knocks on the door grew louder and faster. They were so loud that they could tell the impatience of the person who was knocking.

James was about to get out of the bed to answer the door, but Maria pulled him back. "Let me do it."

She stood up and fixed her hair for a bit. Then, she wrapped herself in pajamas and opened the door.

As expected, the woman who was knocking was the person they had met during the day. Maria leaned against the door frame and said lazily, "It's already late. Why aren't you sleeping yet? Is there a problem?"

The woman scoffed and answered angrily, "How dare you to ask me that? How can we sleep? You're so loud!"

She peered inside in hopes to see Maria's partner. Unfortunately, the bedroom was deep inside, so she was not able to see him.

"So? Your man isn't good at it, is he?"

Maria's words poked the woman's sore spot. "You did it on purpose!"

"I'm glad you know. I specifically asked my husband to humiliate you. What do you think? Isn't he much better than your man? Well, you don't have to be envious of me. Just find another date."

"Where can I find such a man?" The woman looked Maria up and down and asked tentatively, "How about you lend me yours to me so I could have a try?"

Upon hearing their conversation, James felt so uncomfortable with it that he got up, put on his pajamas, and walked over. "Close the door," he ordered.

Hearing his voice, Maria stood straight and asked the woman with a sneer, "Lend him to you? Are you prettier or sexier than me? Besides, do you really think that my man will be willing to sleep with you?"

When James came over, Maria held him in her arms and said coquettishly, "Honey, kiss me."

Since their sex was interrupted, he wanted to close the door and continue where they had left off.

But upon hearing Maria's words, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

The two acted more intimately as if nobody else was around. The woman, who was standing outside the door, was so mad and embarrassed that her face turned red.

Unable to do anything, she snorted heavily and left.

Once the woman was gone, James closed the door with his foot. Maria saw this as an opportunity, so she held his face and complained about the woman. "She said that she was interested in you. She also said that she wanted to sleep with you. How shameless!"

"She doesn't deserve me."

"Anyway, I think you'd better leave tomorrow. Or better yet, you should go now. Ugh! It hurts!"

James sneered. Every time she was done using him, she would throw him away.

Their exercise lasted until the latter half of the night. The next day, Maria no longer saw the woman and her partner next door.

In the afternoon, she saw someone cleaning the room next to hers, so she asked the cleaner where the occupants were. It turned out that they had already checked out.

Maria breathed a sigh of relief.

She stood beside James, who was currently working on his laptop, and asked, "Could you ask your assistant to book a flight for you tomorrow?" Now that the couple next door were gone, she could finally rest peacefully.

James turned around and stared at her. Tve already asked him to do so."

Maria was taken aback by his response. He had always been so efficient ever since.

When the night came, it was Maria who first went to bed.

James came over and held her, but she pulled her arms away. "I'm sleepy. I want to sleep." In her tone were alienation and impatience.

"Maria Song," James said angrily in the dark.

"Why? Didn't we do it last night? I'm still sore." Maria felt quite helpless.

"But I just took a shower," James said.

"I know," she answered casually with her back to him.

"Remember what you did in my office last time?"

Of course she remembered. As a matter of fact, it was still etched in her mind.

"I know you still remember it. Let's do it again."

'Tve already forgotten it," she retorted quickly, but her fingers were touching her lips.

"It doesn't matter. I'll make you remember it." Never in his life would he allow her to discard him easily after using him.

His words rendered Maria speechless.

In the end, she remained adamant in her refusal.

Her refusal, surprisingly, did not make him angry at all. Instead, he held her in his arms comfortingly, and he eventually fell asleep next to her.

Early the next day, Maria was woken up by his kisses.

In a daze, she patted James and protested sluggishly, "I'm so sleepy."

"You can continue sleeping."

Maria rolled her eyes at him.

How could she continue sleeping if he was bombarding her with kisses?

They started their day with a bang. Quite literally. They had sex at five o'clock in the morning. At seven o'clock, James got up, packed up his things, and left. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Maria was crestfallen. She could stay here as long as she wanted. James, however, could not. There was a big company that was waiting for him to go back.

Before he left, he renewed her room rate for two weeks.

Maria woke up at noon. Although she had already prepared herself, she felt desolation in her heart upon seeing that she was alone in the room.

His short stay there felt like a dream. If it were not for her sore body, she would have thought that she was only dreaming. In her imagination, James was pressing on her as he whispered in her ear, "Maria..."

She did not stay abroad for a long time. As soon as she received an urgent phone call, she returned to H City at once.

It was Colby. According to him, something happened to HM Group.

Someone reported that the managers of HM Group took part in the Ponzi scheme related to Jonathan. Although he was arrested a week ago, many people still got involved with him.

The police investigation revealed that HM Group was involved in the matter. As a result, Colby wanted Maria to take the blame.

The person who should shoulder the repercussions was one of Colby's cousins. However, the said cousin was skillful and had made a lot of contributions to the group before. Colby compared his cousin and Maria. Since he decided that his cousin was indispensable, he chose to dump the other.

As soon as Maria returned, she headed straight to HM Group and met with Colby.

Despite Maria's jetlagged appearance, Colby went straight to the point. "Admit to the police that it was you who did it. I'll find a way to get you out of prison as soon as possible." With that, he took out a bank card from his drawer. "There is one hundred million dollars. Do what I say, and it'll all be yours."

Maria stared at the card for quite some time without saying a word.

To put it simply, she had to go to jail in order to get the money.

This Ponzi scheme involved a large sum of money. Those people who got involved in that scheme would have to serve at least ten years of imprisonment.
