The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 351 - 347

Joanna’s body tensed up instantly, sweat dripping from her forehead. She didn’t even dare to breathe, thinking, ’Oh, I’m so doomed...’

She wasn’t worried that Ace wouldn’t let her go, she just felt embarrassed about this whole ordeal. She constantly called the man a pervert, but her secretly hiding under his bed was even more perverted than his usual antics!

"Dude, you dropped one," Seraphina sighed as she saw the block rolling away. She stood up and walked towards the bed to help him get it. "You have to be careful, you know? I had to go through a lot to get you this set... Ahhh!"

The woman had just gotten down on all fours, peering under the bed to see where the block was. To her shock, Seraphina saw Joanna hiding there, and she let out a piercing shriek.

"Under your bed, she... she..." Seraphina’s face went pale as she stammered, still pointing at Joanna shakily. She couldn’t seem to find the words she wanted to say.

Ace, on the other hand, just smirked knowingly. "Come out, then. Are you not tired from hiding for so long?"

Joanna’s heart pounded as a wave of shame and awkwardness flooded her. She thought to herself furiously, ’He knew I was under his bed all along – he just pretended not to know so he could toy with me! All the hard work I’ve put in to be cool and indifferent towards him is nothing but a joke now... It’s all gone to waste!’

"What on Earth... Ace, you knew she was under your bed?" Seraphina came back to her senses and looked at the man in disbelief. "What twisted game are you two playing?"

Joanna clenched her fists and let out a deep sigh. She then crawled out with a stern expression, trying to hide the fact that part of her soul had just died from humiliation. Her dignity was completely crushed the moment she looked up and found Ace’s arrogant gaze on her.

"Sorry for the intrusion," Joanna said coolly as she dusted herself off, turning around to leave.

"Wouldn’t it be rude to leave just like that?" Ace stared at the woman’s back, a fake smile plastered on his face. "As far as I know, trespassing is a serious, punishable offense."

Seraphina finally connected the dots in her head. She scolded Joanna loudly, "He’s right – you were trespassing! Are you a pervert?! To think you’d choose to hide under his bed too! Did you hear our entire conversation? Ugh, you’re such a calculative woman! What are you doing here?"

Joanna gritted her teeth, unable to hold back her anger as she turned to glare at them. "Are you two done yet? Isn’t this enough? You truly are a cruel man, Ace Moran! Do you think it’s fun to toy with me?!"

Ace chuckled coldly and shrugged. "What did I do?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"You know what you did. I don’t care if you two want to play out your little love story, but you didn’t have to make me your audience!" Joanna snapped, never having felt so humiliated in her life. She felt like a fool wrapped around his little finger, and she hated that he thought he could do whatever he wanted with her.

"Oh, now I see what you’re trying to do, you hypocrite! You’re the pervert who hid under Ace’s bed, but now you’re trying to put the blame on him?! Honestly, you should just call the cops on her, Ace!" Seraphina sneered as she took her phone out.

She then pointed at Joanna and declared, "Let’s have her arrested! The police will surely know how to deal with her!"

However, Joanna wasn’t afraid at all. She smirked at the woman and said cockily, "Go ahead, I’ll be waiting."

"Y-You!" Seraphina sputtered angrily, not expecting such a response from Joanna. She quickly grabbed Ace’s arm and whined, "Ace, just look at this woman! She literally committed a crime, but doesn’t have any remorse! How could someone be so shameless?! You shouldn’t let her off so easily!"

Ace nodded, his handsome face serious. "You’re right, I shouldn’t. So... you should head home for now, I’ll punish her myself."

"Wh... What?" Seraphina blinked at him in disbelief. Joanna was the one who was supposed to be punished, but Seraphina was the one being chased out of the room. Now, all her righteous indignation just made her seem like a nosy prick instead.

"You know, she’s still my ex-wife. It’s very likely that she hid in my room because she still has feelings for me, and she’s probably doing this to win me back..." Ace explained as he smiled meaningfully at Joanna.

Ace turned to Seraphina and said firmly, "This is a personal matter, so it’s better to resolve it privately; it would be inconvenient to have an outsider around for this."

"Outsider?!" Seraphina’s expression stiffened for a split second, and she was unable to hide her shock. That word felt like a slap in the face, and it completely shattered her ego.

She then took a deep breath and composed herself, pretending as if she was casual about the situation. She grinned as she patted Ace on the shoulder. "You’re such a simp, dude. A moment ago, we were bros, but now I’m just an outsider..."

Seraphina sighed dramatically as she sneered, "Fine, fine... Miss Pierce went out of her way to hide under your bed just to seduce you. Even I’m touched by her dedication, and I’m just an outsider! Stop acting all cool and just take her back, Ace!"

Joanna was extremely uncomfortable hearing all this. Though she despised Ace, she was now being treated like some kind of lovesick pervert. She couldn’t possibly let them get away with falsely accusing her like this.

"Don’t be a narcissist, Moran. Don’t you know why I was hiding under your bed?" Joanna scoffed.

Ace shrugged dismissively. "You don’t have to hide the fact that you couldn’t move on from me. Everyone in the city recognizes my charms, so it’s only normal."

"Ugh, get off your high horse. I moved on ages ago!" Joanna rolled her eyes, wondering how someone so arrogant existed.

Seraphina watched as the two bickered with each other like young teenagers in love. It was passionate and natural, which made the woman feel rather jealous. She subconsciously balled her fists, leaving the room without uttering a single word.

Even if Ace didn’t ask her to leave, she wouldn’t have had the heart to stay either. If she and Joanna were destined to fight over this man, she knew that she would have lost before she could reach the battlefield.

After arguing with Ace for a while, Joanna was starting to feel tired. She said finally, "So what if I hid under your bed? I don’t care what you think of me. If you’re upset, then call the cops on me. I just want you to stop being so self-absorbed and accusing me of being hung up on you... I’ll have you know that my time is precious, and I refuse to waste it on you."
