The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 407 - 403

Ace’s gaze turned cold, and shock flashed in his eyes briefly. However, he was able to compose himself within seconds, putting on a fake smile. "Your martial arts skills are quite impressive, so that’s not surprising."

He had long guessed that Joanna was someone with great power. Her identity as the gentle daughter of the Pierce family was a mere mask to please the public. Her secret identities would definitely blow everyone’s minds if she were to be found out.

However, the man never found enough concrete evidence to rip that mask off. Thus, he was very excited to hear her reveal her secrets.

"Really now?" Joanna cracked her knuckles and approached the bed, smirking coldly. "Are you not afraid that you’d be my next target? After all, you can’t move. A mere flick of my finger would be enough to take your life. Our marriage would automatically be dissolved then, so I wouldn’t have to negotiate senselessly with you."

She then placed two fingers on the man’s neck, as quick as lightning. "I’ll be honest, the last man who died in my hands was way stronger than you. But my thumb and pointer finger were enough to snap his neck in an instant. The way his tongue fell out was similar to those horror movies too!" After revealing this information, Joanna hoped that Ace could finally see just how cruel and cold-blooded she could be, and would voluntarily distance himself from her.

Unfortunately, it seemed that she had achieved the complete opposite instead.

Ace didn’t seem scared at all, and his eyes filled with admiration as he asked, "Did you really snap someone’s neck using only two fingers?"

Joanna was dumbfounded. ’Is this guy for real? Why is he focusing on that instead?’

"According to my knowledge, there are no more than five people who have that kind of strength, and those people are quite infamous for their crimes. Don’t tell me you’re one of them?" Ace looked as if he was teasing her, but was actually trying to fish information out of her.

Only then did Joanna realize how rash she had been, nearly exposing her hidden identity right then.

The man only needed a bit of research to see who had been recently killed with just two fingers. With that, he’d be able to realize that she was one of the most infamous, ruthless bounty hunters – Frost.

However, now that things had played out this way, she didn’t feel the need to hide anymore. "That’s right, I am. Scared, huh? Just so you know, I have a lot of blood on my hands, so I can’t be your innocent, gentle little housewife. If you’re smart, you’d agree to a divorce right now, and we can both have our happy endings. And... if you ever need to assassinate someone, I can give you a twenty percent discount!"

Joanna refused to believe that a meticulous man like Ace would still want to stay married to a cruel murderer who prioritized profits.

"So you’ve been beating around the bush, even going as far as exposing yourself, all because you wanted to convince me to get a divorce?" Ace smiled widely. "Well, I do love challenges. Think about it... The infamous, terrifying bounty hunter Frost... as my wife! Don’t you see how cool that sounds? And that just means more protection for me. Who would even dare to give me trouble when I have you as my wife?"

Joanna instantly became speechless after hearing Ace’s ’open-minded’ explanation. She thought to herself, ’Is this man mad? He is, isn’t he?"

"Aren’t you very picky? How can you be so accepting now? You know I like someone else, you know I like violence, you know my hands are drenched in blood, and that I am a greedy, ruthless murderer!

How could you not mind at all?" Joanna started backing away from him, absolutely stupefied. "I really suggest you get your brain checked."

"Don’t you think it’s possible that I just don’t mind any side of you... because it’s you?" Ace asked finally.

Ace remained composed, despite facing Joanna’s utter disbelief.

"No... No way! That doesn’t make sense at all!" The woman had goosebumps all over her body, and she quickly left the room. She had always thought that Ace had some kind of ulterior motive for pestering her so much. The kinder he seemed, the worse his schemes could be. Hence, she knew that she couldn’t let her guard down.

Since she couldn’t seem to read him, the only thing she could do was distance herself from him, not giving him a single chance to ’plot against her’.

However, she was still considerate of his current condition, and knew that he wouldn’t be able to survive on his own for the next few days.

Thus, she dialed Susan’s number, getting straight to the point. "Your son’s back is strained, so you should hire a caretaker for him."

Susan, on the other hand, seemed overjoyed to receive a call from her. She said brightly, "Oh, my dear daughter-in-law, I was just about to call you! Guess where I am right now?" She seemed to have completely ignored the fact that her son was injured.

Joanna frowned, asking in a dismissive tone, "I don’t know, where are you?"

She then, once again, mentioned Ace. "Your son is injured, you know? It looks pretty serious."

Susan replied, "Haha, oh my dear, I’m bringing Abby and Adie to see their grandpa and great-grandpa! They’re definitely going to love these little rascals! Come quickly, and bring Ace with you too. The old man would be even happier to see all of you together!"

"What?! You took Abby and Adie?" Joanna was outraged. "Who gave you the right to take my children wherever you want?! Bring them back right now!"

This was the reason she didn’t want her children’s existence to be known. The stubborn Moran family was a large family, so once they found out about the kids, she would have to face all of them.

"Deary, now how is that fair? I am their grandmother, so it’s not wrong for me to take them to visit family now, is it?"

"It is if you did it without asking for my permission!"

"Fine, I’ll ask for permission now. May I take the children to see their grandpa and great-grandpa, please?" Susan sounded slightly annoyed, clearly trying to control her temper.

"No!" Joanna rejected her immediately. "Where are you now? I’m heading over to pick Abby and Adie up. As for your son... he’s your problem now!"

"My son?" Only then did Susan mention Ace, but she sounded indifferent. "You said he strained his back, didn’t you? Then so be it! It’s not like he’d die from that. If you can, just bring him with you. I don’t really care as long as he’s still breathing... Okay, so that’s all for now! My grandchildren are rushing me!"

Joanna fell silent, thinking to herself, ’Susan sure is an extreme mother. She just abandoned her son because she has grandkids.’
