The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 317 - 314

Ace pursed his lips. "I tried to resist, but it didn’t work. You know how strong you are, don’t you?" He asked.

"Well..." Joanna glanced at the ridiculous scratch marks on his body and suddenly felt less sure about her line of reasoning. "You should think about whether your outfit was too revealing. Did you use suggestive body language? Were you intentionally seducing me?"

"As a man, especially an attractive one, you should abide by modest virtues. Don’t flirt all the time. If you can’t even protect yourself, how can you expect others to protect you? If you tell people that you were ’bullied’ on the internet, they’ll only say you deserved it!"

"..." Ace was speechless.

What was wrong with him? Why was he arguing with her about this?

In the end, Joanna still felt a little guilty. She started coaxing him. "Alright, alright. Don’t be sad. I acted too rashly and didn’t take your feelings into consideration... I’ll transfer some money to your account later. You can buy some supplements like ginseng, wolfberries, and oysters. Come on. You’re a man. You’re supposed to be tougher than this!"

"..." Ace remained silent.

Seeing how Ace stopped complaining, she thought she must’ve succeeded in consoling him. She immediately sighed in relief.

She sat upright and looked around the room. She wanted to find her clothes and put them on so that she could leave.

Regardless of what ridiculous things she did last night, it was in the past. Since she couldn’t remember anything, that also meant nothing had happened. She wasn’t going to get all tangled up with this guy!

Joanna’s clothes were scattered all across the room. Her underwear was even left hanging on the couch. It was very striking.

"So... If there’s nothing else, can you please leave? I want to get dressed," Joanna said.

Why couldn’t Ace take the hint and leave? Why did she need to point it out?

Ace cooperated by turning around. "Go ahead. I won’t look."

Joanna felt speechless. This wasn’t a matter of whether he looked or not!

However, she wasn’t bothered to argue with him.

Anyway, this wasn’t the first time they had sex-they’d seen each other naked before, and it wasn’t a big deal.

Joanna lifted the blanket and quickly picked up her scattered clothes. She felt much more at ease after putting them on.

"I’m leaving. Thanks for last night," Joanna said while brushing her hair.

Ace sneered. "You’re a heartless woman. Once you get what you want, you’re gone."

Joanna chuckled. "What do you want me to do? Do I need to take responsibility?"

"Not to that extent..." Ace turned around and looked at her affectionately. "If you have needs like this in the future, feel free to come to me."

"You!" Joanna was embarrassed and angry at the same time. She picked up a nearby pillow and hurled it against his face. "Men are all jerks. I can’t believe I felt bad for you for a second. Yucks! How can men ever be taken advantage of? Save it! I’d rather become a nun than do something like this with you again!"

Ace wasn’t angry at all. It seemed he was making a prediction. "Don’t speak so confidently. Otherwise, you’ll end up slapping yourself in the face."

Joanna stormed out of the room and bumped into Ace’s friends, who happened to be there for a gathering...antage of? Didn’t you enjoy it?

"If you didn’t enjoy it, you could’ve resisted. Since you didn’t do that, it proved that you admit you enjoyed it. How can you blame me then?"

"Joanna, why are you in front of Ace’s room? Did you two..." Ethan was the first to gasp.

The others, including Christopher, who were from wealthy families, all appeared equally surprised.

Joanna cleared her throat and pretended to be calm. "I came here to talk about business. Nothing happened between us. Don’t let your thoughts wander," she said arrogantly.

In the next second, Ace walked out of the room in his pajamas. His hair was still wet. "Oh, good thing you haven’t left. Don’t you want your scrunchie anymore?"

Joanna’s facial expression froze. ’Damn! This is embarrassing!’

She accepted the black scrunchie from Ace. "What a coincidence. I was looking for it everywhere. It seems that you found it.’

Ace crossed his arms before looking at her from top to bottom. "You look sexier with your hair down. Last night..."

"Ahem!" Joanna coughed profusely in an attempt to stop him from speaking.

Was he blind? There were so many people around. Was it necessary to describe such intimate details so openly?

The men looked at each other. Ethan showed a knowing look before chuckling. "Alright, alright. Don’t bother with the explanation. We’re all adults. We understand."

"I think we came at the wrong time. If you need us to leave for a while, we can do that,’ Christopher chimed in.

"That won’t be necessary..." Ace said calmly. "You came at the right time because the wrong time had already passed."

"Ace!" Joanna clenched her jaws and waved her fists angrily. ’If you say anything you’re not supposed to, you’re going to pay for it!"

However, Ace kept his arms crossed and leaned casually against the wall. "Was I wrong? Would you like me to show my battle scars to everyone?"

"If you dare!"

"I’m the victim. Why wouldn’t I?" Ace replied.

"You..." Joanna suddenly realized that Ace could be completely unreasonable at times. There was nothing she could do when he behaved like this.

If he really did take off his pajamas, she’d leave the City on a rocket right away... No, she’d leave Earth!

"What do you want? Just say it!" Joanna knew Ace too well.

She could tell that he was dead set on teasing her. He wanted to embarrass her.

As someone who knew how to read the room, Joanna had no choice but to give in for now.

Ace raised his brows, pleased with Joanna’s obedient behavior. He turned to look at his friends. "Let’s have a barbecue in the backyard. The maids have already prepared all the ingredients, but unfortunately, I don’t trust in their ability..."

"It’s fine. We can do it ourselves. It’s supposed to be more fun if we do it anyway."

"I agree. I can roast the best chicken wings in town. I’ll do it for you guys today."

The handsome men started speaking one after the other.

Ethan could tell what was on Ace’s mind. He looked at the other guys." What are you fighting for? How could you guys possibly cook anything good?’

"In my opinion, Joanna probably has the best roasting skills. She so happens to be here. Why don’t we nominate her as our primary chef?"

The suggestion was immediately met with everyone’s strong approval. Although they didn’t know Joanna very well, they knew about her relationship with Ace. They were all eager to watch a show!
