The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 335 - 331

’Well..."

Joanna tried to confess several times, but seeing how happy everyone was, she couldn’t bear to kill their joy, so she ended up staying quiet.

Amidst the joyful mood, Abby’s cute round face suddenly paled. A pained expression crept onto her face.

"Aah! It hurts, Mommy! It hurts so bad!"

The little girl grabbed her chest. She was having difficulty breathing.

Everyone immediately became alert.

"Nancy, the inhaler! Hurry up and grab the inhaler!"

Joanna hugged Abby while rubbing her chest and comforting her, "Abby, don’t panic. Breathe slowly. Inhale, exhale, inhale... The inhaler will be here soon."

Nancy quickly handed Joanna the inhaler. "Here you go, Miss Joan!"

Joanna took the inhaler from Nancy, put it to Abby’s mouth with practiced familiarity and started pressing it.

Abby’s breathing slowly returned to normal. Her cheeks, which had gone pale, gradually regained color.

"Mommy, I’m sorry for scaring you. I was too happy today, so I forgot to take the medication. It’s my bad."

The little girl’s pitiful appearance made Joanna’s chest tighten.

’You silly girl, it’s not your fault. It’s Mommy’s fault for not reminding you. I’m sorry you had to go through that."

Joanna kissed the little girl’s forehead. She felt terrible.

When Abby and Adie were born, Abby only weighed half as much as Adie did. She had not developed well in the womb, and that was especially true for her lungs. As a result, she suffered from asthma from an early age.

Patients of this illness had strict requirements for their living environment. They needed fresh air that had no pollution and no impurities. Even a slight amount of dust in the air could make the illness act up. If the asthma attack was not dealt with in a timely manner, it could be life-threatening.

Abby grew up on Sun Island, so she was like a plant that grew in a greenhouse. The air on sun island was perfect for her condition, be it in purity or humidity.

Over the years, Nancy had been researching various remedies, hoping to find a cure for Abby.

But her herbs required extremely high air quality to grow.

Their apartment was located in the city center. It was obviously not a suitable place for them to stay long-term. It had even made Abby’s illness worse.

"Miss Joan, we can’t put this off any longer. Either I bring Abby back to Sun Island until I cure her illness, or we move to a place with a better environment. Otherwise, this will just happen again."

Nancy said with a worried look.

"I know. We should have moved long ago."

Joanna took a deep breath and said, "Abby can’t live without me, and I can’t live without Abby either, so I won’t leave her alone in a foreign land.

Besides, Sun Island is already..."

She did not finish her sentence.

From a legal perspective, Sun Island no longer belonged to her.

’We don’t necessarily have to go back. There are two places in the City that can match Sun Island’s air quality. One is the old Pierce Residence, and the other is the Moran Villa. Whichever it is, we must move there as soon as possible."

Nancy had looked into this matter.

The Pierce Residence and the Moran Villa were both located in areas that housed the wealthiest and most powerful people in the City. The air quality in those areas was naturally very good.

"But the area the Pierce Residence is in has been expropriated.

Apparently, a sewage treatment plant will be built there. Why would anyone waste such a good piece of land?"

Joanna’s eyes turned cold and sharp. She told Nancy, "Don’t worry, Nancy. I’ll handle it. I’ll take them all back – the Pierce Residence AND the Moran Villa!"

Early the next morning, Joanna picked up the necessary documents and met up with her assistant, Shelley Sandberg, at a subway station.

"Miss Pierce, I’m here!"

After Shelley walked out of the subway entrance, she pushed her black framed glasses up her nose, jogged over to Joanna’s car and climbed in.

"Miss Pierce, I’m so happy to see that you’re okay. You have no idea how worried we are for you. We’re afraid that you might have left us!"

Shelley looked at Joanna with sparkly eyes like she was looking at her idol as she spoke excitedly.

Ever since Joanna was sexually assaulted, she had never shown herself, so Shelley and the other employees in the company were all worried about her. They all wondered what was going on with her.

Shelley had kept her mouth shut. She did not tell anyone about what happened to Joanna for the sake of Joanna’s reputation.

Joanna gave Shelley a little smile and joked, ’ Why? Are you afraid that I might run away without paying your salary?"

’That’s not it. All the employees that remained are loyal to you. Even if you don’t pay us, we’re willing to help you forge your business empire. We’re simply worried that something bad might have happened to you..."

"Don’t worry, I’m perfectly fine."

’Thank goodness..."

Shelley hesitated. She seemed like she had something to say, but she ended up not say anything.

Joanna glanced at Shelley, puzzled by her strange behavior.

"If you have something to say, just say it. You know I like people who speak their mind."

Joanna looked a bit displeased as she tried to pressure Shelley to speak up.

Shelley thus took a deep breath and said, "I actually wanted to ask what happened between you and Mr. Moran afterwards."

"He seemed really worried about you that day. He didn’t seem as cold and ruthless as the rumors say. He was also the one who insisted on returning to save you, otherwise... things would have been really bad."

This was actually a private matter between the bosses, so as a lowly employee, it was not her place to gossip.

But due to her position, she witnessed the whole thing between them! She’s itching to get some information out of Joanna!

"Ace Moran? Save me?"

Joanna was bewildered.

After drinking the rapist’s spiked drink, she had no memory of being brought to the underground parking lot, so she naturally did not know that it was Ace who saved her.

"Yes! Don’t you remember? That night, after you suddenly disappeared from the elevator, we looked long and hard for you but to no avail, so the police suggested that we go back to the police station to lodge a report first and wait for them to investigate further. However, along the way, Mr. Moran suddenly asked the driver to turn back, saying that you’re still in the parking lot!"

"And then?" Joanna could not help asking. She seemed a bit surprised.

"And then Mr. Moran found you in a deep basement in the underground parking lot. The police caught the rapist and thus solved a serial drug rape case which occasionally involved murder. Anyway... if it weren’t for Mr. Moran, it would have been really bad for you!"

The memories of that night still gave Shelley shivers.

"Who could have thought that a frail and well-mannered programmer like that would have such a dark and twisted mind. He committed dozens of crimes in that building without being discovered. If it weren’t for Mr. Moran’s quick wit, who knows how many more innocent women would have fallen prey to him!"

’That... happened?"

After listening to Shelley’s story, Joanna’s emotions were complicated.
