The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 302 - 299

Joanna was so angry that she punched Jovan in the back twice. She did it so naturally that it was like they knew each other for a long time – there was no awkwardness between them at all.

Ace’s expression twisted even more, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.

"You see, Ace... this is Joanna’s real personality. She’s not dignified or gentle like you said, nor is she elegant or prim and proper. The real Joanna Pierce has a violent temper, and she beats people up when she’s displeased with them. She always beats me up when she sees me; she’s basically a tigress’ I bet you’ve never seen this side of her, have you?"

Although he’d just gotten punched, Jovan could not be happier. In fact, he even looked proud as he crowed triumphantly, "You were married to her for so many years, but I bet she’s never punched you, has she? That’s too bad... Research shows that when a woman is relaxed enough to show her real self to a man, she would be more likely to love the man with all her heart and spend the rest of her life with him-"

"Shut up!" Ace clenched his jaw and cut Jovan off abruptly. He coldly barked, "If you’re going to be a pervert, then get out. Stop humiliating everyone here!"

Jovan merely smirked and continued, "You really are pathetic, Ace Moran. You had such an awesome woman as your wife, but you threw it all away just to be with a scheming one instead. Don’t you know how cool your ex- wife is? She used to be in a popular band, and was rebellious, edgy, and even had a buzz cut! When she stood onstage playing the guitar, she shone brighter than the stars in the night sky. That scheming woman can’t even compare to the ground she walks on..."

"You probably didn’t know this,’ Jovan added, ’but I was her biggest fan! I went to see all of her shows, I bought every album of hers, and I even recorded all of her performances... I’ve seen so many sides of her that you’ve never seen before, so believe me when I say I understand your own wife better than you do. Doesn’t that make you feel ashamed of yourself?"

"That’s enough, Jovan!" Joanna had to stop him by pressing her fingers on his forehead. She would die of embarrassment if he kept going! She whispered to him, "Everyone has been young and frivolous before, so stop bringing up the past! It’s irrelevant and doesn’t mean anything anymore."

The last thing she wanted was for Ace to find out how ridiculous she was when she used to play in an underground band. They had been trying to raise funds for children with leukemia back then, so everyone in the band got a buzz cut to show their solidarity. They had even shaved their heads completely bald once, and then bleached their hair blonde when it grew back. All in all, they had been the textbook definition of rebellious youths that were loud, proud, and cool.

If Ace actually explored this era of her past, she would have to dig herself a hole and hide in it for the rest of her life. She would never be able to hold her head high ever again!

Jovan noticed how Ace had fallen silent, so he added, "Do you know why I’ve always resented you all these years? It’s because you destroyed my sacred idol! You were so lucky to have her, and yet you never appreciated her! You had a diamond in your hand, yet you threw her into a crowd of mediocre people! You polluted her and dulled her luster, turning her into a common lump of coal. You simply didn’t know how to cherish a woman like her!"

Ace stared at Jovan, who was seething with rage, and emotionlessly asked him, "So, what then? What are you going to do about it?"

Jovan sneered, "I just wanted to warn you that you’re mistaken if you think you’ve won today. As long as I’m alive, Ace Moran, I’ll definitely replace you and get my precious diamond back. I’ll let her radiate her own brilliant light once again!"

"Well," Ace shrugged indifferently, "she’s right here. If you want her so much, you can just fight for her with your own capabilities. What’s the point of declaring war with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode straight out of the restroom, not even glancing at Joanna as he walked past her. It was as if the two were complete strangers – that was how cold Ace was!

With that, only Joanna and Jovan were left standing in the men’s restroom awkwardly

Like a villain who had succeeded in bringing his evil plan to fruition, a sinister yet childish smile cropped up on Jovan’s face. He told Joanna, "You see? You clearly made the right choice in leaving your ex- husband, because all he ever wanted was a tool to perfect his image. He was never interested in you, he never understood you, and he never even wanted to understand you. What a failure."

"Why, thank you for the enlightenment, Jovan!" Joanna could not help but roll her eyes as she pointedly sneered, "If you have that much spare time, why don’t you worry about yourself instead? How stupid can you be?

You’ve been played like a fiddle and wiped out from your position, yet you’re still here bragging like an idiot!" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Jovan wasn’t angered by her words, and instead approached Joanna with a cheeky smile. ’So, you’re worried about me, huh?"

Joanna let out a frustrated snarl and kicked Jovan in the butt before replying sarcastically, "Like I’d be concerned for your sorry self!"

She then held her head high like a proud swan and stomped out of the restroom.

Jovan watched as Joanna walked away from him, his eyebrows raised slightly and a wicked smile on his face. What a cool woman... She was exactly his type!

Meanwhile, the large group of men who had been waiting to get inside the restroom were mostly well- known reporters. Because of what happened, countless baseless and ridiculous rumors started to spread.

"The former Mrs. Moran couldn’t choose between her old flame and her new fling," one rumor said, "so she had a liaison with both of them in the men’s restroom!"

"The president of Moran Group fought his cousin for his ex-wife’s hand," another rumor alleged, "but failed in the end! He won in business, but lost in love!"

"Jovan Moran bravely pursued his cousin’s ex-wife,’ one of the most ridiculous rumors claimed, "and asked for her hand in marriage in the men’s restroom. She said yes!"

As Joanna was driving, she saw all these preposterous headlines that Clara sent her, and got so enraged that she nearly hit another car.

"Those damn reporters are a bunch of psychos!’ She spat. "It’s like they’ve got brain damage or something! Couldn’t they write better? Why did they have to mention "men’s restroom" in every sentence? Were they trying to humiliate me?"

On the other end of the line, Clara was in a fit of laughter. She could not contain her curiosity, so she asked, "Tell me the truth... Now that Ace Moran has returned from the dead, has the love between the both of you been reanimated too?"

The news of Ace Moran’s "resurrection" hit the City like a thunderbolt, throwing everyone into a state of pandemonium. Virtually everyone in the city was talking about it, including Clara herself. In fact, she had been calling Joanna incessantly the whole time.

Clara didn’t know what to think of Ace Moran. On one hand, he was a total scumbag, but on the other hand, she remembered how he sacrificed himself to save Joanna. Clearly, despite his terrible personality, there was clearly still some good in him. Besides, the two now had a pair of twins; their reconciliation would indeed be a picture perfect ending.

"Don’t even mention that jerk!" Joanna’s anger had just subsided, but it quickly boiled up again when she thought of how cold and arrogant Ace was.

"I was thinking," Joanna continued viciously, "that he should’ve at least informed me that he wasn’t actually dead. But when I saw him again, he was perfectly fine – as stylish as ever, and cold like he’d been living in a freezer for eight hundred years! He actually pretended that he didn’t know me... what the hell?! I wasn’t even trying to bring up our relationship, but he came up to me and acted all cool and haughty. Who did he think he was? If he didn’t almost break his own leg carrying me out of the mountains that day, I would’ve never even bothered to think about him! But I guess it’s good that things turned out this way... Since he’s so arrogant, I’ll make sure to give him a good slap in the face to humble him!"

As she spoke, an enigmatic smile bloomed on her face. She had come up with a plan to deal with Ace Moran. That heartless robot should have stayed dead, but since he was alive again, things would surely get more exciting from now. She would drive him to a point where he would cry for his mommy and beg her to let him go!

Joanna glanced at her watch. It was almost time to pick her kids up from kindergarten. It was Adie and Abby’s first day at school today, and seeing that the teachers had not called her, those two must have adjusted to the new environment pretty well.
