A Vengeful Ex-Wife
Chapter 36 Begs Me On Her Knees

"Ouch!" The next moment, two sounds mingled: a bottle shattering and a scream of pain.

Then the whole restaurant was in chaos.

After she saw Ronald being struck by the bottle, Alina rushed to his side. She cradled his head in her hands, and they came away bloody. The back of his head was bleeding. She shouted at the restaurant manager, "Call the police! Call an ambulance!"

The hall of the restaurant was in turmoil. The noise was so loud that Clayton and Miranda heard it in their private room. The couple exchanged a look, stood up, and walked out to see what the matter was. The sharp pain in his head made Ronald a little dizzy and he had difficulty breathing. He barely realized anything happened to him, other than he felt bad. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He had been cherished and spoiled by the Tang family since he was born. No one had ever done something like this to him, let alone Maria Song. She was always obedient and acquiescent, wasn't she? In a panic, Alina urged the manager to bring the first-aid kit. While a waiter was practicing first-aid on her brother, she glared at the woman nearby. "Maria, you're a madwoman! I'll put you in jail, and this time I'll keep you there."

Maria calmly grabbed her high-end handbag. It was decorated with a pattern of geometric shapes and the same color as her dress. She looked very fashionable.

With an uncaring look, she took out a bank card and handed it to the waiter standing next to her table, who was on call at any time. "The check please. I'll pay for the table next to mine as well."

"Yes, ma'am. One moment, please!" The waiter approached Maria. Her imposing manner made him shiver. He took the card obediently and went to the checkout counter to pay the bills.

"Oh my God! Maria, what did you do to Ron?" Maria recognized the voice. It was Miranda, Alina's mother and her aunt on her father's side.

She turned and saw Miranda in a dark green cheongsam. Next to her was Clayton wearing a long face. James was there, too, and even calmer than Maria.

Maria barely had anything to do with these people anymore. Nonetheless, she was polite. "Hi, Aunt Miranda, Uncle Clayton."

They didn't return the favor. Instead, Miranda scolded her. "I don't have a niece like you. Don't call me that!" Then she turned her back on Maria and asked Ronald, her heart breaking, "Does it hurt?" "Dad, Mom! Alina, James! Get this woman! Ouch! Be gentle!" Ronald yelled at the manager who was trying to staunch the flow of blood. Then he continued, "I'll kill that bitch for this! Damn it!" Instead of shouting, Clayton winked at the bodyguards nearby. The bodyguards immediately stepped forward, ready to attack Maria.

However, before they could even get close to her, Maria stepped on the chair, looked down at the bodyguards, and kicked one of them in the chest. Maria wore high-heeled shoes, which didn't affect her fighting ability in the least. Even a kick could make the bodyguard cover his chest and spit blood. After dealing with several bodyguards, Maria was about to leave the restaurant before the police arrived.

But someone stepped in her way.

Looking at the man in front of her, Maria sneered coldly, "Sticking up for her before you marry her? That's new!"

She'd suffered many indignities from his stepmother in the past. James never tried to protect Maria. Never!

"You attack someone and you want to just skip out? You should apologize!" James ignored her sarcasm.

"Or what? Are you going to hit me? Think about what that will do to your image." She didn't show any fear in front of James.

"Go back and apologize!"

Maria glinted at the man bravely. "I must be hearing things. He humiliated me, and you want me to apologize? Just because he's your future brother-in-law?"

"Apologize!"

Maria was so angry that she smiled sarcastically. "I'll apologize when Alina begs me on her knees!"

The man squinted his eyes, coldness flashing in them. "You won't weasel out of this!"

This time, he wouldn't let her off the hook.

They were arguing fiercely. Then her face suddenly turned pale and she staggered.

She felt something wrong when she was eating minutes ago. Now the sharp pain from her lower abdomen weakened her.

Maria raised her eyes and told James quickly, "Get me to a hospital. After that, I'll tell Alina I'm sorry."

Although James saw the blood drain from her face, he wasn't moved. Every word he uttered dripped with contempt. "It's none of my business. Even if you die here today, you still have to apologize to the Tang family first!"

"James Xi! If I had known you'd pull this stunt, I would never have stopped your car." Beads of sweat formed on Maria's forehead.

James' heart was like a block of ice. Maria mentioned the day they first met, and he showed no emotion at all. When the man was about to say something, Ronald rushed towards Maria, heedless of his injury. Maria might be sick, but that didn't mean she was a pushover.

She had no choice but to ignore her pain. She moved aside and held the handrail of the stairs in the dining room.

The pain in her lower abdomen almost suffocated her. Since James made no attempt to save her, the bodyguards of the Tang family rushed towards her.

She'd have no trouble beating Ronald, but not several skilled bodyguards. Especially not in her condition.

Maria's hands slipped off the railing and she fell to the floor. She braced herself for the pain. She was about to roll down the steps.

When Maria resigned herself to her fate, her clammy hand was grabbed by a larger one. She was hauled to her feet, and fell into a warm embrace.

Before she totally blacked out, she tried her best to open her eyes to look at the person who saved her. She saw a familiar face. Maria was so happy, she wanted to cry. So James wasn't that cruel after all. She raised her hands and put them on his chest, revealing a pale smile. "James, I want to sleep with you.

And get naked."

James said nothing. He held her tighter, and his face darkened.

Maria closed her eyes and fainted. James held her slender form and hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to do with her.

Alina saw everything. Before Maria could hit the stairs, James saved her.

She suppressed her fury and jealousy, walked up to the man and asked in a quiet voice, "James, why did you help her? She hurt Ron!"
