Chapter 346 Perry Tao


    "I don''t know. I''ve called an ambnce. Summer is outside, and she''s bleeding a lot."


    Without waiting for Gary to finish, Maria walked out. She was in such a hurry that she didn''t think to


    even grab her down jacket.


    James grabbed it for her and hurried after her.


    In the lounge, there were several assistants standing around, watching the scene in horror. Summer


    was leaning against a wall, clutching her abdomen in pain. Her other hand was tightly gripped


    around her mobile phone. And the most horrible part was, her lower body was drenched in blood.


    Maria was so familiar with this scene that her face turned pale in an instant.


    James caught up to her and put the jacket over her shoulders. Then, he looked at the crowd and


    asked, "What''s going on?"


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    "I don''t know, Mr. Xi. I heard a scream and rushed here," a female assistant replied in a low voice.


    When James was about to say something, his hand was grabbed by Maria. He turned to her and


    finally noticed the look of rm on her face. "What''s wrong?"


    Maria''s eyes were red, and her lips trembled. "She had a miscarriage," she said softly.


    On that fateful rainy night, she had also copsed to the ground with blood staining her whole lower


    body.


    James''s heart skipped a beat, and his breathing became erratic. Naturally, he felt sorry for Maria.


    He held her hand tofort her, but she shook his hand away and tentatively approached Summer.


    Crouching on the floor, she grabbed Summer''s hand and said firmly, "Summer, the ambnce is on


    the way. You have to hold on."


    She really hoped that the baby in Summer''s belly would be strong and safe.


    Hearing her voice, Summer opened her eyes with great difficulty and smiled bitterly. "He cheated on


    me," she murmured.


    Maria stared back at her, stunned. Summer was obviously referring to her husband.


    Soon, the ambnce arrived, and the paramedics rushed in and lifted Summer onto a stretcher.


    When they wheeled her into the elevator, Maria followed them. She wanted to go along with them to


    the hospital.


    Her mind was full of worry that she didn''t have the time to care about anything else. Her clothes


    were in a disarray. James followed her into the elevator and considerately zipped up the jacket for


    her without saying a word.


    The two assistants, who had never seen him behave this way before, were dumbfounded. However,


    Maria was focused on Summer that she barely registered anything else.


    Just before Maria could climb into the ambnce, James tugged at her hand and said, "I''ll ask Gary


    to follow the ambnce. Summer''s family have already been contacted. If you need any help, call


    me at anytime." "Okay," Maria replied absent-mindedly. Then, she got in the ambnce and left.


    Along the way, Summer kept slipping in and out of consciousness.


    When she was conscious enough to speak, she squeezed Maria''s hand tightly and murmured, "I


    didn''t expect it. I really didn''t...1''


    Maria''s heart pounded against her chest as she leaned in closer to hear Summer''s words clearly.


    "The mistress sent me a message saying that she''s pregnant. She asked me to divorce him so that


    they could get married." Summer gave her phone to Maria. "Here, this is the evidence. I haven''t


    decided what to do yet." Summer was a sessful woman in her career, but she had failed in


    matters of love.


    Swallowing hard, Maria took the blood-stained phone and typed the passcode that Summer told


    her.


    After unlocking the phone, she navigated to the chat history on WeChat.


    The disy name of the mistress was Perry. Maria scrolled all the way to the top of their chat


    history and found that this Perry had added Summer to her contact list quite a while ago.


    She had sent several photos to Summer, including pictures of her with Summer''s husband, as well


    as pictures of luxury goods that he had bought for her.


    mes burned high in Maria''s beautiful eyes. The more she scrolled through the chat history, the


    more she wanted to tear Perry''s face apart. By the time she reached the bottom of the chat history,


    the anger building inside her was almost about to explode. It was worse than the time when she had


    heard that James was having an affair.


    She wanted to take revenge on that mistress right now, but Summer''s condition was still unstable,


    and she couldn''t just leave her here.


    Once the ambnce reached the hospital, Summer was taken to the emergency room. While


    waiting outside, Maria met Summer''s parents.


    Afterforting the two elders, she walked to the side and called James. "Have you informed all of


    her family?" she asked.


    "Yeah."


    "What about her husband?" Maria asked for confirmation.


    "He was informed. What''s wrong?"


    Maria exhaled sharply and cursed, "That son of a bitch hasn''t shown up yet!


    He must have a death wish!” James, who was a little taken aback, stayed silent. Sure, Summer''s


    husband had cheated on her, but it had nothing to do with Maria. Why was she so angry?


    "Anyway, I''ll talk to youter. I have something else to do," Maria said, not even noticing his silence.


    "Where are you going?" James asked quickly.


    At the thought of that arrogant mistress, Maria felt like she was going to explode. "You have no idea


    what a bitch that woman is! I''ll teach her a lesson today."


    She had never seen such a shameless mistress before. How could that woman brag about how


    Summer''s husband treated her to Summer herself? Maria wouldn''t be able to rest until she put that


    woman in her ce.


    "Calm down. Don''t be impulsive," James said helplessly.


    "Summer is lying in the emergency room now! How can I calm down?" she snapped. She felt that


    men were useless. How could James expect her to calm down when Summer was in such a sorry


    state?


    James realized that it wasn''t wise to argue with a wrathful woman, so he just asked, "Do you need


    my help?"


    "No, she''s just a mistress. I can deal with her alone!" After saying that, Maria hung up.


    Then, she used Summer''s phone to text Perry. "Whichpany do you work for? Let''s talk."


    Just a few secondster, she received a reply. "You don''t know whichpany I work for? I''m


    always around you. You''re so clueless."


    Maria frowned, not understanding what she meant. "Just say it," she texted back in frustration.


    "Didn''t you have a miscarriage? Why are you still texting me?"


    This woman knew that Summer had a miscarriage! Did that mean she worked in HL Group?


    Maria immediately hailed a taxi there. On the way, she called James and asked, "Is there an


    employee named Perry at yourpany?"


    "I don''t know."


    Hearing his uncertain answer, she took a deep breath to calm down. She was so angry that she


    wasn''t thinking straight. How could she expect James to know the name of every employee in the


    company? "Fine. Get someone to check. I want to find the employee in yourpany whose name


    is


    Perry."


    "Wait, that woman works in HL Group?"


    "Yeah!" Maria snapped, hanging up the phone.


    Lowering the phone from his ear, James couldn''t help but feel wronged. Women could be really


    scary when they were angry. What did he have to do with this matter?


    Anyway, he was efficient. Within a few minutes, he sent her a message saying, "Her name is Perry


    Tao. She works in the PR department."


    When Maria reached the HL Group building, her anger had only worsened.


    She stormed down the lobby and past the front desk, but turned back and asked, "Which floor is the


    PR department on?"


    "The 33rd floor," the receptionist answered in a hurry, looking like a scared mouse.


    Maria entered the elevator with a murderous look.


    After she left, everyone who had seen her in the lobby began to gossip among themselves. "Did the


    PR department offend Mrs. Xi?"


    "I don''t know. I have never seen her so angry before.


    As soon as the elevator doors opened on the 33rd floor, Maria stalked out in an aggressive manner.


    The sound of her high-heeled shoes clicking threateningly on the floor attracted everyone''s


    attention.


    The secretary of the PR department hurried over anxiously and asked, "Ms. Song, what can I do for


    you?"


    Maria nced coldly at therge office area and raised her voice. "Who is Perry Tao?"


    A woman who was looking at her mobile phone went pale when she heard this. ''Maria Song? Is she


    here for Summer?''


    The sound of Maria''s footsteps grew closer and closer. Before the woman could react, Maria was


    already standing in front of her with a cold expression.


    Towering over the woman sitting on her chair, Maria parted her red lips and asked, "Are you Perry


    Tao?"
