The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 390 - 386

This time, Susan was not faking it. The cane struck Ace with a loud crack.

"Ouch!"

Ace could not remain stoic anymore. He complained, "You’re doing it for real?! Stop!"

"Of course I’m doing it for real. If I don’t teach you a tough lesson, you’ll make the same mistakes again in the future. My precious grandchildren won’t be able to see our sincerity either... So just grit your teeth and endure it. Also, you should groan once in a while to make the kids sympathize with you."

Susan gave out thoughtful advice while whipping Ace.

"Makes sense."

Ace agreed with Susan’s plan. He started groaning and screaming.

"Ah, it hurts!"

"Ah, I’ve learned my lesson!"

"Ah, I’m gonna die if you keep hitting me!"

Children were naive and innocent, so as long as he kept acting pitiful, they would forgive him in no time.

However... Joanna was not a child and she was extremely clever, so this trick would definitely not work on her!

Joanna finished making lunch and brought the delicious dishes to the dining table. She then heard the groaning and screaming from outside the villa.

It sounded like Ace’s voice, but how could the Great Demon King make that kind of sound?!

Joanna walked out of the villa with much curiosity.

She immediately saw Susan whipping Ace with a cane while Ace pleaded for mercy.

Umm... It was not a pretty sight.

Adie and Abby watched on with great interest. They had clearly fallen for the superb acting skills of Susan and Ace.

When they noticed Joanna, they beckoned to her excitedly.

"Mommy, come here! Come here! The fairy godmother is going ham! Finally, someone’s teaching Bad Daddy a lesson!"

Abby grabbed Joanna’s hand and dragged her over, worried that she might miss out on the show.

"Uhhh..."

Joanna felt a little awkward. She did not know how to deal with the situation.

Her former mother-in-law was beating up her ex-husband, while her son and her daughter were enjoying the show?!

Should she pretend to be concerned and talk Susan out of it or should she join in and watch the show together with her children?

"Joanna, my good daughter-in-law! Long time no see!"

Susan smiled from ear to ear as she greeted Joanna while hitting Ace.

Ace was pretty immersed in the act, but when he saw Joanna, he immediately reverted back into an iceberg.

No matter how hard Susan’s cane hit him, his face remained cold and indifferent. He did not even let out so much as a groan, as if he felt nothing.

"Brat, you were doing so well, why did you stop? Keep acting miserable or your wife won’t sympathize with you!"

Susan lowered her voice and growled at Ace.

"..."

Ace pursed his lips and kept as quiet as a statue.

He could bleed and he could break a bone, but he could not lose the image of a dignified man in front of Joanna!

Joanna stood next to Adie and Abby. She stared at Ace and Susan with a puzzled expression for a while before asking weakly, "What are you doing?"

"The bad guy’s mommy is teaching him a lesson so that he wouldn’t bully you again. I think... she wasn’t hitting him hard enough. They look a bit like they’re acting."

Adie remarked expressionlessly.

"No way! Bad Daddy cried really miserably just now. He seemed to be in real pain. It didn’t look like an act to me." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Abby pouted and retorted foolishly.

Seeing his proud son stop cooperating even when she kept hitting him, Susan could only give up and think of another solution.

"My dear daughter-in-law, I heard this brat bullied you so I gave him a hard beating, but I don’t think it’s enough punishment, so take this cane and let out any anger or resentment you have. I promise he won’t dodge or retaliate!"

She stuffed the cane in Joanna’s hand.

"Isn’t this... a little inappropriate?"

Joanna looked at the thick cane in her hand, then at the tall and handsome man standing in front of her, unsure of what to do.

"Why would it be inappropriate? You’re my rebellious son’s wife, so if you see him with any bad habits or if he makes any mistake, don’t hesitate to give him a tough beating to educate him. That’ll teach him a lesson so that he’ll be good and won’t make you mad again."

Susan said righteously.

"No, thanks. I don’t have the ability nor the obligation to educate him. I’ll just educate my own children. I want to have nothing to do with him ever again."

Joanna guessed that Susan must have figured out the identities of Adie and Abby by now, or she would not have chastised her precious son like this to try and soften Joanna’s heart.

Unfortunately, when it came to the children, it did not matter whether they used a soft or hard approach, the matter was non-negotiable!

"I’ve made lunch. You guys can stay for lunch if you want."

Joanna did not want to be too impolite, so she invited Susan to have lunch with them.

After all, Susan was still the children’s grandmother. If she showed Joanna enough respect, Joanna would also show her respect and would not deprive her of the right to interact with the children.

"Sure! To be honest with you, I’ve missed your cooking dearly. Looks like I came at the right time. My mouth is watering!"

Susan praised Joanna non-stop.

Ace was flabbergasted. "Mom, can you please behave normally?"

He knew better than anyone how proud and arrogant Susan usually was. Now, in order to help him and Joanna reconcile, she was being so humble. It made him feel uncomfortable.

"What are you talking about? I am behaving normally. It’s a fact that I’ve missed Joanna’s cooking dearly. Why can’t I say it?"

Susan glared at Ace, then quickly walked forward and held Joanna’s arm affectionately, like a mother holding her daughter’s hand. She made it look so natural.

"My good daughter-in-law, tell me when you got pregnant with the kids. You sure know how to keep a secret. How could you not tell us about something so big? Aren’t you worried that your father-in-law and I would get a heart attack from the surprise? We now suddenly have two grandchildren!"

Susan talked non-stop like a chatterbox, asking Joanna about the details of the two children.

Joanna was emotionless. She said flatly, "I think you must have misunderstood something, Miss Susan. These two children are mine and mine alone. They have nothing to do with the Moran family. Please stop trying to drag us into the Moran family."

As soon as she said that, the air immediately chilled to a freezing point.

Being the lady of the number one family in the City, people showed Susan respect wherever she went. She had never been rejected like this before. She immediately had the urge to throw a fit.

But for the sake of her son’s lifelong happiness and her precious grandchildren, she endured it!

"Hahaha, my dear daughter-in-law, I know you’re still angry. The Moran family has indeed made some mistakes that caused you and the children a lot of hardship. How about this... Tell us what we have to do so that you’ll forgive us. If it’s within my capability, I’ll definitely satisfy your request without batting an eye."

Susan said with a sincere expression on her face.
