A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Upon seeing the message, Norman's face turned grim. In his heart, he still hadn't acknowledged his father, nor his family.

He had told the administrator of Shen Group's official social media account to send his wishes, but he hadn't given them his permission to proclaim that James was his elder brother. But in the end, he just let it go.

Naturally, Song Group offered its best wishes as well. "Congratulations to our beloved Maria for her wedding. We wish her and her husband a lifetime of happiness."

The next one to congratulate the couple was Mu Group. "Congratulations on your wedding. We hope that you remain a faithful couple throughout your lives. We are certain that you are a match made in heaven!"

In addition, Peggy's fashion magazine, the company of Sandra's father, and many other celebrities congratulated them on their marriage.

Both the bride and groom were successful figures in the business world. After their wedding ceremony, many others sent them their blessings. Some sent congratulations in person, others in private.

After going through hell and high water, they were finally here at the peak of happiness. It was only natural that they would receive blessings from everyone.

During their wedding night, after their children had fallen asleep, Maria sat in front of her laptop, staring at all the messages sent to them. At long last, their love was blessed by everyone. However, James had grown concerned about something new. He pressed her under his body and said, "Honey, I think it won't bode well for us if people find out that you and I don't have our marriage certificates yet."

"I know that," she replied.

"It's decided then. I'll move the Civil Affairs Bureau here tomorrow, so that we can get our marriage certificates, okay?"

"No! Honestly, I'm content with our current setup. Besides, we've already held a wedding."

James didn't know how to respond. It worried him that if he had said too much, it might ruin their wedding night. And so, he just started kissing her and dropped the topic.

There was still ample time to get their marriage certificates.

Now that the wedding had been held, the prospects of obtaining the marriage certificates didn't seem far off.

It was easy to imagine how Priscilla would grow up. Due to her premature birth, she was in relatively poor health compared to her brothers. The whole world was doting on this little princess, and her biggest far was none other than James.

The little girl had a seemingly infinite number of dresses and dolls at her disposal.

James even studied how to braid hair in order to please his beloved daughter.

To everyone else, he was a ruthless, aloof businessman. But to Maria and their daughter, he was the most gentle and caring man on the planet.

This man had given all his tender love and care for his wife and daughter. It didn't matter to him how mischievous his daughter was. Not once did he ever said anything harsh to her.

Soon, James was relieved to find out that all his efforts to look after her had succeeded. Her health was gradually becoming better.

In HL Group, a little girl with braided hair was crawling on the floor.

A client passed by and asked, "Why is there a child here?"

The operations manager glanced at the toddler and replied, "This is our little princess!"

The client immediately realized who she was. "So, this is Mr. and Mrs. Xi's daughter." She was indeed a princess like no other.

Her title was further solidified by the fact that so many bigwigs were tied to her. Other than her parents, James and Maria, there was also Lawrence, Ethan, Cooper, and Norman.

However, this girl had one shortcoming. It wasn't exactly that big of a deal. She was just really fond of crawling.

She could crawl her way from the CEO's office on the sixty-sixth floor to the first floor. And because of that, every nook and cranny of the HL Group's building was being disinfected at least three times a day. The floor was spotless. Wherever the princess crawled, many would follow-cleaners and nannies.

Aside from the fact that James was generous when it came to salary, their little princess was indeed adorable, so nobody ever complained about their job. She was permitted to crawl wherever, whenever she wanted to.

Today, Maria was taking part in a parent-child activity with Bob, while James brought Priscilla to the company At this moment, he was holding a new product launch in the conference room. After Summer finished her phone call, she couldn't see the little princess anywhere.

By the time she found her, the little princess was already on the floor where the conference room was.

As Priscilla staggered forward, she ran into an employee along the way. "Daddy?" she asked.

The employee was so enamored by the girl's adorable voice. She squatted down to look into Priscilla's eyes. "Hello, Princess! Your daddy is in a meeting right now."

The moment she heard the word "meeting," Priscilla knew where her father was.

She kept moving forward, but Summer quickly picked her up. "Princess, your daddy is in an important meeting right now. Let's wait for him to finish before we see him, okay?"

"I want Daddy!" It had been thirty minutes since she last saw her father, so Priscilla was feeling anxious.

Summer felt her temples aching. If there wasn't anything eventful happening, she would've brought the girl to James right away. However, he was hosting a press conference right now, and it was on a live broadcast.

But then, she realized that to James, there was nothing more important than his little princess. Not even the entire HL Group could compete with his love for his daughter.

The conference room was enough

to house dozens of people, including

i.ne

reporters and important guests. Right now, James was giving a speech onstage. "We've been looking forward to launching this product for a long time now

"Daddy," a childish voice interrupted him.

Upon hearing her voice, James' stern face softened. He glanced at the door, and saw his beloved daughter.

A smile was planted on his face as he apologized to the crowd before striding towards Summer and taking Priscilla from her arms.

The crowd began to whisper among themselves. "I've heard that Mr. Xi dotes on his wife and daughter. I can see that the stories are true."

"Yes. Everyone in HL Group is aware of that."

As he held Priscilla in his arms, James went back to the stage and continued his speech. "Sorry again for that intermission, everyone. Let's get back to the matter hand." Due to the surprising turn of events, Priscilla was now attending the product launch with her father.

James continued the event while he was holding onto his daughter. When news of this broke out, the live stream of the press conference filled up with attendees.

"Princess is so adorable!" Comments of similar nature could be seen everywhere.

Maria didn't find out about this until she finished the parent-child activity. Actually, she heard it from someone else. It didn't come as a surprise to her that James would do something like that. The great James Xi was not ashamed to admit to the world that Priscilla was the most precious person on the planet for him.

By nightfall, Coy had returned from school, and the entire family had gathered together.

Perhaps due to his old eating habits that had been developed at JT Nunnery, Coy wasn't fond of meat. Because of that, he was a bit thinner than children of his age.

James pushed a plate of braised pork in brown sauce towards his son and said, "Eat."

Coy rolled his eyes at him. "Daddy, how about this? If you eat it, I'll eat meat in every meal from now on."

There wasn't much of the braised

pork and it only had a few pieces. In

all honesty, James didn't want to eat

it, but since Coy was negotiating with him, he believed that his son wasn't lying. "Men keep their promises, alright?"

"I promise, Daddy!" Coy patted his chest proudly.

James pulled the plate of braised pork towards himself and ate everything on the plate.
