The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 319 - 316

"Hehehe..." Joanna had no choice but to take a bite for show. She then lowered her voice. "Ace, did you have to do this? Isn’t it a little too cruel?

"It’s your own doing. I’m just returning the favor."

The two pushed the chicken wing skewer back and forth while they bickered. To others, this seemed like a moment of intimacy.

Moses smiled foolishly before quickly retrieving his phone to capture this’ heart-warming’ moment. "Looks like the rumors on the internet are true. Ace and Miss Pierce really do share true love. This is such a sweet photo. I have to share it on social media!"

While saying this, Moses typed ’the couple I ship is real’ before attaching a picture and publishing the post on social media.

"Hey, don’t do that..." Joanna felt that it had gone too far and tried to stop him.

Unfortunately, Moses wasn’t the only one who did this. The others did the same. Even if she wanted to stop them, it was too late.

Feeling helpless, she turned to face Ace. "Why aren’t you saying anything? Tell your friends to delete their posts. If word gets out that we’re together, how will we clarify things?"

Ace behaved as if he was an outsider who wasn’t affected at all. ’So what? When has our relationship ever been clarified anyway?"

"You’re sick!" Joanna couldn’t stand it any longer. "Do whatever you want. I’m done playing your game!"

She took off her apron and turned around to leave.

She never wanted to have anything to do with Ace from the beginning. However, ever since she returned to the City, it felt as if she’d fallen into his trap. The harder she tried to steer clear of him, the more he clung to her. It was annoying!

When everybody saw how the joke had gone too far, they began toning it down. "I think Miss Pierce is angry. Let’s delete our posts. She might not like it."

Ace’s gaze turned cold. "Whatever!"

Ethan could tell that things were turning sour. He tried to persuade Ace to go after Joanna.

However, Ace responded as if nothing had happened. "It doesn’t make any difference whether she’s here or not."

"You’re too dense for your own good!" Ethan shook his head and ran after Joanna.

"Joanna, don’t be angry. We went a little too far with the joke and overlooked taking your feelings into account," Ethan said.

"It’s not your fault..." Joanna stopped walking and turned around to look at Ace, who was still chatting and laughing. "I just don’t want to have anything to do with that guy. Seeing him once shortens my lifespan by a few years!"

Ethan was confused. "What’s going on between you two? Didn’t you two spend the night together? Why are you still on bad terms?"

"Don’t be nosy!" Joanna paused for a few seconds. ’Anyway... It’s impossible for us to get back together. You guys need to stop meddling. Otherwise, it’ll just get awkward."

"Alright. We’re outsiders, and we don’t know what’s on your mind either. However, I can tell you with certainty that Ace has become much happier since you returned. For example, he hasn’t shown such strong emotions for a long time, but just now... It felt like he’d come back to life. He’s soulful again. Are you sure you don’t want to give him another chance? " Ethan asked carefully. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Joanna’s facial expression was cold and emotionless. "I don’t care if he’s dead or alive. Did he care if I was happy or not during the most difficult period of my life? Did he ever care if I was alive?’

’Well..." Ethan felt a little guilty. He silently looked down.

Ace had indeed gone too far back then. He cheated on Joanna and forced her to get a divorce. His heart was practically stone-cold. Why did he have to get so close with a bitch like Alice?

Even if Joanna loved him from the bottom of her heart, her feelings would eventually fade.

If he asked her to give Ace another chance now, it would only be adding salt to the wound!

"I’ll tell you again, and please take this seriously-my relationship with Ace has ended, and we will never get back together. Please tell your friends, Ace included, to stop joking around like that anymore. If this happens again, I’ll cut ties with all of you," Joanna said sternly to make sure Ethan got her point.

Ethan nodded. "Alright. I know what’s on your mind now. I’ll tell my friends to take note..."

The two of them were talking when they suddenly heard loud chatter from Ace and the others.

"No way. Seraphina’s access to information is way too efficient. Did she already get upset about this?"

"Knowing her temper, she’d definitely be furious that we held a secret gathering without inviting her. Why don’t we leave..."

"What are you afraid of? Christopher and Ace are here. She wouldn’t dare cause a scene!"

Ethan appeared a little terrified. He looked left and right. "Oh no. If Seraphina shows up, this barbecue is over!"

Joanna felt confused. Without realizing it, her curiosity took over. She looked at Ethan. "Who’s Seraphina? Why would you guys be afraid of her?"

"Don’t you know who Seraphina is?" Ethan began to rant away, releasing his pent-up feelings. "Seraphina is the only young lady in the Murphy family. We grew up together. Her name might suggest she has a demure personality, but she’s actually wilder than all of us. Apart from Chris and Ace, nobody else can escape from her. Every one of us has been beaten up by her in the past. That’s why we’re all so afraid of her...

"It’s not surprising that you don’t know her. Her father sent her abroad to study a few years ago. She only returned last year. However, she’s become even fiercer after spending some time abroad. She’s much more masculine than a man!" Ethan exclaimed.

"Ethan, who are you talking about?"

Ethan suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

When he turned around, he saw Seraphina’s glistening eyes. He was nearly beside himself. "S- Seraphina...’

Seraphina pressed her arms against her hips. She then ruffled Ethan’s hair as if she was petting a puppy. "Tell me the truth. Who organized this gathering? Why wasn’t I invited? Did you guys create a group and leave me out?"

"W-well..." Ethan rarely showed this much fear. He was stammering.

After that, a thought occurred to him. He directly pointed at Joanna. "It’s her. I dont know anything about this. Just ask her if you have any questions."

"Huh?" Joanna glanced at Ethan speechlessly.

She couldn’t believe he’d make her the scapegoat. She was only a bystander. Why was this even her fault?

"So, you’re Joanna... The woman who won’t leave our Ace alone." Seraphina looked Joanna up and down. There was a look of arrogance in her eyes. In fact, her facial expression made it clear that she wasn’t the kind of person one would want to mess with.

It was only because she had the Murphy family to back her up.

Although the Murphy family wasn’t one of the top eight families in the City, they were still a force to be reckoned with. In fact, the Murphy family was just as wealthy as the Moran family and the Jacobs family.

Of course, Joanna carried a similar vibe.
