The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 368 - 364
Joanna took the contract and went home with her mind full of thoughts.
As she arrived, she noticed that something weird was going on—her children, who would usually rush up to welcome her home as soon as she got back, were non-existent, and right now, there was only pin-drop silence inside the house and completely no sign the rascals.
"Hello? Adie? Abby? Mommy’s home! Where are you guys? Don’t you miss Mommy?"
She opened the door and turned on the lights. The living room was completely empty. There was not a soul in there.
Feeling suspicious, she hurried into the bedroom. That was when the twins suddenly came bolting out of their room towards her, then each of them clung onto her legs.
"You’re home, Mommy! We missed you so much!"
"You must be tired after working all day! Let us massage your shoulders and your legs!"
Adie and Abby spoke so sweetly to their mother as though their lips were covered in honey. Their tiny little hands then went to work as they started to give their mother a massage.
"Ah..." Joanna sighed with pleasure. She closed her eyes as she thoroughly enjoyed the experience. "It feels so good, my darlings! You both treat me so well! Seeing you made all the hard work I did all day worth it!"
After speaking, she tried to head straight into her bedroom, only to find her kids holding onto her legs tightly as if unwilling to let her go inside.
"Let us massage you a little longer if you like it so much, Mommy!"
"Are you hungry, Mommy? We made you dessert..."
"Why don’t you go lie down on the couch and watch TV, Mommy? That way, you can relax!"
Joanna’s shrewd mind quickly caught on that something was wrong.
"What naughty schemes are you guys plotting behind my back this time?" she asked them in a grave tone with a stony face. "Why are you trying to stop me from going into the bedroom?"
"Well... Um..."
Abby was a sensitive girl, so she could not help it when her lovely eyes darted shiftily towards the bedroom behind her mother. It was clear that she was feeling guilty, and was about to confess everything.
But Adie remained completely unruffled in the face of danger when he calmly told his mother, "You’ve seen how good we’ve been, Mommy! How could we be plotting anything behind your back when we’re such good children?"
"Are you good children?" asked Joanna. "I didn’t notice!"
At this point, Joanna was a hundred percent sure that these rascals were hiding something from her. In fact, it was probably something more serious than usual as well. Judging from her past experiences with them and her knowledge of their abilities, she would not even be surprised if it turned out that they managed to turn the whole world upside down.
"Fine," Adie stretched out his arms in a helpless manner, "I know we can never hide anything from your eagle eyes... We have indeed done something, Mommy, but it’s not something bad at all. In fact, we did it to help you, although you might not like the way we did it."
Joanna’s heart froze as soon as she heard what Adie said. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
’This is bad,’ she thought. ’This is really bad. Even Adie, the sly little fox, admitted to his crimes beforehand in a bid to appease her. These kids must’ve caused some kind of calamity if they acted this way!’
"Tell me, what did you do?!"
"If we tell you, you must promise not to get angry at us or spank us..."
"Okay, I promise not to get angry, and I won’t spank you unless it’s absolutely necessary."
With one hand on the wall and one hand clutching her heart, Joanna was now mentally prepared to hear the truth.
"Well... it’s difficult to explain with words. I think you’d better go inside and see for yourself, Mommy. Just don’t be too grateful to us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly kept a safe distance of twenty feet away from Joanna.
Abby timidly hid behind her brother and whispered in his ear, "Are you sure Mommy won’t get angry, Adie? Why do I feel that we’ve really gone too far this time?"
"She can’t be angry at us for this! In fact, I think it’s likely that she might praise us for doing a great job since we punished the evil man, after all!"
"I guess you’re right... We just helped Mommy, so she must understand us and appreciate our help!"
While the twins were whispering to each other, Joanna was already anxiously pushing the door open. The lights inside were off, but she could make out that there was someone lying in her bed.
"What the hell have the rascals done this time?!"
She turned on the lights. Once she took a good look at what was going on in her bed, she was so dumbstruck that she almost had a heart attack!
What Joanna saw was a full-grown adult tied up on her bed. This person was wearing high heels, a wig of long hair, a thick layer of makeup, and a scanty bikini... and this person was lying there in her bed in the most seductive of positions.
But what terrified her the most was the fact that this "full-grown adult" was none other than the haughty president of Moran Group—Ace Moran!
"Oh my god... What... What on earth is going on here? Am I hallucinating?"
The sight was so "provocative" that Joanna almost could not endure it. She was so shocked that she nearly lost her balance and collapsed onto the floor.
"Do you like it, Mommy?"
Adie asked the question while cautiously staying twenty feet away from his mother. He went on to boast about his achievements, "Abby and I have been dressing him up the whole evening! That man likes to hurt and disrespect women, so he should taste what it’s like to be a woman!"
"I’ve also ordered a labor pain simulator device online," he added. "Soon, he’ll learn how painful and difficult it is to give birth!"
"He’s the reason you suffered so much, Mommy! Now it’s his turn to suffer!"
Joanna massaged her throbbing temples. She no longer knew exactly how to react.
"You... Both of you have done a terrible, terrible thing!"
She had painstakingly tried to hide the existence of these two kids from Ace Moran, yet now everything was exposed just like that—not only was the truth exposed, but it had been exposed in such a melodramatic manner too!
With Ace Moran’s ferocious temper, he would never be able to endure this kind of humiliating prank. She dared not imagine what the man would do in retaliation. The thought alone made her shudder in fear!
"Why is he lying so still? Is he asleep, or is he..."
Joanna stepped forward and prodded Ace’s body, but the man did not respond at all. He just lay there like a dead pig.
"We gave him a sleeping pill," Adie proudly answered, "so he’s sleeping very soundly right now!"
The sleeping pill in the cake was not enough to put his life in danger, but it was still enough to knock him out for a good while.
"What?!" Joanna roared in anger. "Aiden Pierce, how dare you do such a despicable thing! Will you be murdering people next? No! I won’t let this slide. I must teach you a proper lesson today, because if I don’t, it’ll be up to the police and the society to teach you next!"
Furious, Joanna picked up a ruler on the nightstand and was hell-bent on punishing Adie.
"Hold out your hand!" she barked an order.
"I don’t want to!" argued Adie. He was just as stubborn and hardheaded as Joanna. With a face as stern as his mother’s, he bluntly told her, "Our little prank is nowhere near as bad as how he used to hurt you! I don’t believe that I’ve done anything wrong today, so you can hit me if you want, but I’ll still do the same if I get another chance!"
"Not only that," he added, "I’ve also taken pictures of him looking like that, so I can force him to post a video of him apologizing to you on the internet!"
"What’s gotten into you now, Aiden Pierce?! You know you’ve done something wrong, but not only are you unwilling to admit your mistake, you’re even proudly defending yourself! I think you really need a good spanking this time!"
Joanna’s rage was at its boiling point, and she swiftly hit the boy on his butt with the ruler. She could perfectly understand that Adie was doing this to help her, but his methods were just too outrageous. If she continued to indulge him, she dreaded to think of the disastrous troubles he might cause in the future.
"It didn’t hurt!" said Adie as he gritted his teeth. His eyes were now reddening. "I didn’t do anything wrong, so keep on spanking me if you like, but I regret nothing!"
"You... You..."
Joanna gritted her teeth and ignored the pain in her heart before going on to spank Adie a few more times.
This time, Adie could not hold it in any longer. He burst out in tears and started to wail loudly, throwing the room into chaos.
Even Abby, who stood aside, was now frightened and began to howl at the top of her lungs. She cried and cried until she stopped abruptly and dared not even make a sound. She pointed at the man who was supposed to be in deep sleep and whispered, "Mommy, Adie, be quiet for a while! I think that evil man is waking up..."
