The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 325 - 321

The pub owner likely didn’t expect Joanna to be here to redeem the man’s freedom and didn’t quite know what to do at that moment.

"Why are you hesitating? You’re asking them to dance and entertain the customers to earn money, right? So what’s the difference if I make a full payment?" Joanna asked.

She knew money couldn’t solve everything, but it did, at least, have the ability to solve most. At the very least, for greedy businesspeople like these, money was their kryptonite.

"You are absolutely right, Miss Pierce. But we’d still have to think about this matter thoroughly. Why don’t you wait for a bit while I discuss this with my business partners? We’ll give you an answer shortly," the pub owner said and left the room.

Although it was her excuse to leave, she actually was reporting back to Ace.

"Buy my freedom?" Ace seemed intrigued upon hearing this.

After a short pause, he ordered the pub owner, "Tell her it’s possible, but there would be terms...."

"I understand! Don’t worry, Mr. Moran, we will definitely do as you say." The pub owner quickly returned to the waiting room after receiving orders.

Joanna was starting to feel quite impatient, urging. "So, how did it go? Can I end his contract or not? Just give it to me straight."

The pub owner replied, "I just asked our business partners, and they said it’s possible. They even said they don’t need you to pay, but you’ll have to follow a few rules."

"They don’t need me to pay?" Joanna felt quite surprised.

She thought to herself. ’I didn’t expect the pub owner to be so virtuous to have let go of such a great opportunity to earn!’

"Tell me about these rules," Joanna asked curiously.

"Firstly, Isaac is our star escort, as you know. He’s earned our pub a lot of money, and we naturally treat him as family. That’s why you have to promise to treat Isaac well after you’ve bought his freedom. You mustn’t let him suffer in the slightest."

Joanna raised a brow. "Of course. I can do that."

She was more than capable of handling another man’s living expenses, after all.

"Secondly, Isaac has... quite a bit of an ego. If you really do wish to provide for him, you still mustn’t force him to do anything he doesn’t like..."

Joanna felt speechless. "Don’t worry, I just felt pity toward him. I didn’t want a young talent like him to be wasted in a pub, that’s all. I don’t intend on doing anything to him."

"Uhm, that’s actually not what we mean..." The pub owner explained. "You see, Isaac has a habit of wearing a mask at all times. It is to protect the last bit of dignity he has left. So if he is unwilling to take it off, you can’t force him to.’

"No problem. I like it more when he has his mask on anyway," Joanna replied swiftly. After all, she actually preferred Isaac with his mask, as it gave her a sense of familiarity and made her heart flutter.

"Looks like there’ll be no issues then! Once you’ve signed this contract, Isaac will be yours, and you can do whatever you want with him." The pub owner said swiftly.

Joanna hadn’t expected everything to go so smoothly. She then happily dialed Isaac’s number, still holding the contract in hand.

"Hey, pretty boy, where are you? I prepared a surprise for you."

"Oh really? I’m home, but I have to go to work soon."

"Hold on. I’ll come over right now."

Joanna still remembered where the man lived, a cheap apartment near the pub.

She was initially in a bad mood earlier today, but after the accomplishment of performing the good deed of ’saving a young man’s future,’ her mood naturally improved.

By following her memory, she arrived at Isaac’s apartment unit and rang the doorbell.

A while later, the door swung open as Isaac walked out in a simple white shirt and black formal pants. His handsome face was once again wearing his usual white feather mask. He looked like he had been waiting for Joanna for quite sometime.

"It’s been a while, my goddess. I thought you forgot about me..." The man’s voice was gentle.

Joanna instantly felt like spring had come and couldn’t help but lift the man by the chin. She smiled and said, "How could I ever forget you, my little escort? Your last hypnosis helped me get great rest! I’ve long wanted to have you do that again to me, you know?"

"It really is an honor... Don’t worry, my goddess; I will give my all to you this time so you may sleep better."

"You’re too considerate; no wonder you’re so popular." The more Joanna looked at him, the more her fondness for him grew.

’Tsk tsk, handsome gentlemen are healing to the soul. Thinking back to how cold Moran was... Isaac is an absolute angel!’

Unfortunately, Joanna likely wouldn’t have ever guessed that this absolute angel was her terrible husband, who she hated so much.

After receiving a report from the pub owner, Ace quickly rushed to Isaac’s place and replaced him.

"Oh, pretty boy, I just so happened to find out about your sad past, and I felt really bad. That’s why I decided I had to save you..." Joanna said as she brought out the contract, speaking in a confident tone. "Look at this. Do you like it?"

"Th... This is...?" Ace took the contract obediently, pretending to read through it. Suddenly, he turned away from her, his shoulders trembling slightly, acting quite melancholic.

"What’s wrong? Are you so touched that you cried?" Joanna patted the man on the back, asking like a confident maneater. "You don’t have to thank me, I didn’t even spend much. All I have to do is provide for you, and I can definitely do that.’

"Provide for me?" Ace slowly turned back and asked Joanna, "So you’re going to be my sugar mommy?"

"Awh, come on, don’t say it like that. You’re just having it rough right now and lost your ability to make a living out of dancing. I’m just temporarily providing for you, and once you’re back in university to finish your studies, you’d be able to earn a proper job. And I won’t provide for you after that," Joanna said bashfully.

She knew that their current relationship was no different from a sugar baby and a sugar mommy at this point. Moreover, she had no idea why she was being so nice to the man.

In better terms, she was a kind person who just loved helping others in need.

In worse terms, she just felt oddly possessive towards Isaac and didn’t wish to see any other woman lusting over his body.

It was likely that she started seeing Isaac as a substitute for Ace.

However, this ’Ace Moran’ was an idealized version instead, the version that would be gentle and warm towards her. She placed this ’Ace’ on a pedestal and was unwilling to let anyone taint this lovely being.

"Yeah, you know I lost my dancing career because of you, and I’m nothing but a poor peasant now! You’ll have to take responsibility for me, or I might actually starve to death!" Ace said as he quickly embraced Joanna with a pitiful expression on his face.

"I offended the boss lady because of you, and no one dared to hire me anymore. The Blue Inn was the only reason I was able to earn a living, but now that you’ve bought my freedom, I can’t even go back there! I can only follow you, so please never abandon me!"

Joanna patted the man on the back, comforting him as if he were her lover." Don’t worry, I bought your contract, so I’d naturally take good care of you."

"But... won’t your husband get mad at you? I heard that Ace Moran from Moran Group could get extremely jealous at times. Aren’t you worried he might explode at you after finding out you’re taking care of another man?" Ace asked, hoping to test what she really thought about him.

He was rather curious as to what he meant to the woman right then.
