A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Chapter 447 Visiting Bob

Miranda was also involved. As the general manager of Tang Group, she had to deal with a lot of problems and put out fires everywhere. She knew what Clayton had done, but she did not report him to the police. Instead, she helped cover up the messes he had made, and now she was also arrested.

At the same time, many senior executives of HM Group and Tang Group were taken away by the police for questioning, which sent a ripple of shock through the industry.

Everyone knew that the senior executives who were taken away this time had little to no chance of ever coming back.

Under constant pressure from HL Group, HM Group officially declared bankruptcy half a month after Colby disappeared.

This piece of news inspired disappointment in a few people. Although HM Group did not have a century's worth of history, it was still deeply rooted in H City. However, due to James' efforts or lack thereof, HM Group went bankrupt in less than a year.

This kind of speedy and embarrassing fall was rare in H City's financial circle.

As for the case of Edith's death, the police had made a new breakthrough and was now focusing on Rosa.

But they had not found Rosa yet, so they still could not let Maria off the hook.

One day, Maria went to a shopping mall and bought some gifts. Then, the driver drove her to army base where Lawrence was.

When Maria arrived, she saw Bob running behind Lawrence and following him around. He was wearing a mini-sized camouflage uniform and covered in sweat.

Every time the adults dropped on the ground and crawled, he also did the same thing. He was particularly nimble and agile for his age.

The Hakim stopped not far away, attracting many people's attention.

Seeing Maria's car, Meagan rushed over to greet her. "Hey, Maria."

Maria got out of the car and gave Meagan a hug. "Long time no see, Mrs. Lu."

Meagan chuckled. "Mrs. Lu? Why are you being so formal with me?"

After the two women chatted for a while, Meagan said, "I'll call Bob over here."

"Okay." Maria looked lovingly at the little figure not far away.

Meagan took a breath and shouted, "Bob!"

The boy's name was so familiar to the soldiers that someone in the training team said, "Bob, you're going home to drink milk." Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"It's time for your diaper change, Bob."

The soldiers burst into laughter. Bob stood up from the ground and turned his little head toward the call.

When he saw Maria, he jumped up happily, ran, and screamed, "Mommy, Mommy!"

The soldiers turned very curious when Bob called Maria his mommy. The boy had been with them for a very long time, but not once had they gotten a glimpse of his parents. They all followed Bob with their eyes.

The next moment, they were all amazed. One of them even asked Lawrence, "Captain, does Bob's mom have a boyfriend? Can you introduce me to her?"

"No wonder Bob is so handsome. It turns out that his mother is so fucking good-looking."

"Oh, I envy him for having such a beautiful mother."

Lawrence was speechless. "Let's continue!" he barked.

'How dare these bastards covet my good friend's wife? I'll teach them a lesson!'

When Bob rushed to his mother's arms, Lawrence's men withdrew their envious eyes, turned around, and threw themselves back into hard training.

Maria picked up the boy and kissed him on the cheeks over and over.

Bob clung to Maria's neck and rested his head on her shoulder, unwilling to let go.

It was an hour later when Lawrence finished his training. When he returned to the apartment, Maria had already bathed Bob and dressed him with a new set of clothes she had bought for him.

Seeing Lawrence back, Meagan took out a lilac dress, put it over her body, and showed it to him. "Is it beautiful? What do you think?"

"Put it on," Lawrence answered.

"I have just tried it on. It fits me well."

Lawrence put his arm over Meagan's shoulder and playfully pushed her into the bedroom. "Try it on again. I haven't seen you in it yet."

With a flushed face, Meagan went to the bedroom to put on the dress.

After tidying Bob up, Maria asked, "Have you finished your work?"

"Yeah. Why didn't James come here with you?" Lawrence put his hat aside and poured himself a glass of water.

"He's on a business trip right now. He won't be back until the day after tomorrow." Maria really missed Bob so much, so she decided to come by herself.

Lawrence nodded to show understanding.

The next moment, Meagan came out of the bedroom in the new dress. At the sight of her, Lawrence's eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "You look great in it."

"Maria has good taste."

Maria said with a smile, "It's not because of my good taste, Meagan. You're young and beautiful, and you have an amazing figure. You'll look gorgeous in anything.”

"I think so, too," Lawrence said, echoing Maria. He had also noticed that Meagan looked good no matter what she wore.

Hearing what Maria and Lawrence said, Meagan felt so shy that her face started turning red. "Oh, your compliments make me walk in air. Excuse me. I'll go change."

Bob was playing with the new toys that Maria bought for him. She took two more paper bags and said, "These are for Meagan. They're skin care products and sunscreen. I'm afraid she will get sunburnt following you around all day every day."

Lawrence took the paper bags and looked inside them. "You've gotten her everything I should buy for her. What else can I get her then?"

"You and Meagan will live together for a lifetime. Why are you worried about what to buy for her?" Maria raised her eyebrows.

"Okay, you have a point," Lawrence said in agreement.

"I also brought some fruits and snacks for your men. They're in the trunk of my car. Ask someone to move them out later and distribute them to your people." Bob had been bothering Lawrence's people a lot lately. As his mother, Maria had to show her gratitude to them for taking care of her son.

Lawrence did not refuse. After all, the fruits and snacks were not for him. "I will. Thanks," he replied.

Meagan planned to make dinner for Maria in the evening. However, at dusk, Maria received a call. "Ms. Song, something happened to your grandfather."

Maria did not know how to react for a moment.

Gordon had been in poor health lately. After finding out that Miranda had been taken away by the police, he could not bear the blow and lost consciousness.

When Maria arrived at the hospital, Gordon had already been declared dead.

Carolina had stayed by Gordon's side since he fainted and watched him die.

Chandler was on a business trip in another city, and he did not arrive until two hours after Maria.

The truth was, the members of the Song family had been mentally preparing themselves for Gordon's death. But when they got the news of his demise, they still sobbed like they were not expecting it.

But Maria did not shed tears. She responded to the situation calmly. She and Carolina helped Chandler arrange Gordon's funeral.

After returning from his business trip, James attended Gordon's funeral together with his grandparents.

A week had passed after Gordon's death. Maria received a phone call. "Hello, Ms. Song. I'm the late Mr. Gordon Song's lawyer. Can you come to the Song family house now?"

"Why? What happened?"

"Mr. Song has left something for you in his will. I can't read the will to the family unless everyone is present."

Maria took a deep breath and answered calmly, "No, thanks. Whatever's left for me, just donate it."

In a dilemma, the lawyer explained with difficulty, "Ms. Song, when Mr. Song was still alive, he explicitly instructed me to only read his will when everyone is present..."

Perhaps Gordon had guessed that Maria would not be willing to come over for the reading of his will, so he had given his lawyer some special instructions.

Unable to refuse, Maria finally went to the Song family's house.

She had not set foot into this house for a long time.

When she arrived, several cars were already parked in the yard. It seemed that all the Song family members had arrived.
