The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 444 - 442

"Don’t worry, you’ll find out soon enough."

Jovan smiled meaningfully as he accelerated the car.

After over an hour, the car arrived at a famous five-star resort hotel.

The hotel was holding a banquet today. It was not open to the public. The hotel’s large lawn was beautifully decorated. Multiple exquisite trays containing various drinks and desserts could be seen around the swimming pool.

Various wealthy young people and celebrities of the city were gathered here today. Many of them were enjoying themselves at the swimming pool. Beautiful women in bikinis and handsome, muscular men chased each other and frolicked in the water. Some were even hugging and kissing as if they were alone rather than in public. The atmosphere was wild.

Joanna did not like this kind of atmosphere. She could not help questioning Jovan with a frown, "What are you doing? Why did you bring me to this kind of place?"

Jovan put his hands in his pockets and smiled. "Didn’t you ask me to make up for my mistakes and save my arrogant cousin with you? He’s indeed in trouble and is waiting for us to rescue him."

Joanna suddenly felt energetic. She asked, "You mean Ace is here?"

"He might be here or he might be in a room. You’ll have to find him."

Jovan paused for a moment, then said meaningfully, "But you need to prepare yourself. You might be heartbroken to see the ’pain’ he’s in."

"Stop being so mysterious."

Joanna glared at the man angrily and then began to carefully search the hotel.

The most crowded place was by the pool. A really loud electronic music was playing. Someone was holding a sprinkler in the middle of the pool to liven up the atmosphere. The young men and women there danced along with the rhythm. The scene was so chaotic that it gave Joanna a headache.

Just as she was about to look away to search another area, she suddenly noticed a familiar figure lying on a lounge chair near the pool. He was dressed in a white bathrobe and sunglasses. He seemed very relaxed.

Next to him sat a sexy woman in a black and white bikini, affectionately feeding him grapes.

Joanna gulped. It was a hot sunny day, yet she felt cold from head to toe, as if she had been turned into ice and was unable to move an inch.

Who could it be but Ace, the man she had been worrying about day and night?

"My cousin has always liked the quiet. He rarely attends gatherings like this. He came today mainly to keep the Crawford girl company. Doesn’t he look like he’s suffering?"

Jovan’s lips curled into a smile. He added, "Sister-in-law, hurry up and rescue him. I’ll back you up!"

"..."

Joanna could not say anything and could not move. She simply stared at them. The interaction between them was extremely intimate. Besides feeding fruits, they were also hugging and sometimes even lightly kissing each other. The image was like a steel knife that pierced straight into Joanna’s heart. It was so painful that she could not breathe.

"Are you okay?"

Jovan stared at the woman’s face that had turned deathly pale. She looked like she was about to collapse. He could not bear seeing her like this.

He subconsciously supported her shoulder and said with a frown, "If you can’t take it, then let’s turn around and leave. We’ll pretend we saw nothing. He hasn’t noticed us anyway."

As soon as he said that, Ace’s eyes turned coldly towards them.

The young men and women in the swimming pool seemed to feel the chill emanating from the man. They all followed his gaze to Joanna and Jovan who were standing at the entrance.

Joanna took a deep breath and tried to force back her tears. She said confidently and casually, "Of course I can take it. I’m someone who has experienced lots of things. This is nothing to me!"

After that, she walked straight to where Ace was.

Jovan followed after her without hesitation with a hard-to-detect smile on his face.

He was like an audience who was watching the scene unfold, but more than that, he was like a manipulator who controlled everything...

"Long time no see, honey. I thought you were assassinated, but you’re actually here sunbathing. Don’t you owe me an explanation?"

Joanna stood in front of Ace arrogantly.

She was slim, but her body still managed to block out all the sunlight like a towering mountain, casting a shadow on the man.

Ace’s deep eyes stared at her for a long time. He then calmly said, "Since you’ve seen everything, I don’t think there’s any need for me to explain."

"..."

Joanna bit her lip. Her fingernails pierced into her palms. She was trying hard to control her emotions.

How could he betray her so casually? Was his heart made of stone? Did he have no conscience?

Clara continued to slowly feed peeled grapes into Ace’s mouth. She smiled coquettishly and asked, "Ace, am I not supposed to be here? Should I give you two some space?"

"There’s no need."

Ace embraced Clara and looked coldly at Joanna. "Why are you still here? Do you want to stay and play with us?"

Joanna looked at the two people on the sun loungers with a scoff, like she was looking at a couple of clowns.

She told Ace, "I know your family is in trouble and you need to get in the Crawford family’s good graces, so you act intimate with Clara in front of me on purpose, hoping that this would help the Moran family overcome its difficulties, am I right?"

"If thinking that way makes you feel better, feel free to do so."

Ace shrugged casually and said, "The union of the Crawford family and the Moran family will bring a new order to the city. If the cost is my marriage, it’s a price I would willingly pay."

"I understand your predicament, so I can give you one last chance..."

Joanna, like a god, extended her hand to Ace and said, "Come with me. We’ll get through this difficult time together."

She still believed that the love between her and Ace was real. She believed his love for her was not an act.

He must have his reasons for hurting her in such a childish way. He must have encountered a difficulty he could not solve or perhaps he had no choice.

There was clearly a slight change in Ace’s eyes.

Not only him; Clara and Jovan also seemed surprised.

They were all insiders. They had planned all this to shatter Joanna’s love for Ace. But it seemed that... her love for him was so deep that she could even tolerate betrayal.

"You’re overthinking it. I don’t have any difficulties. I just realized that I love Clara more. Clara and I are the perfect match for each other. We can support each other."

Ace said ruthlessly.

"Heh, your poor acting skills merely confirmed my suspicion further..."

Joanna went straight to the point. "Tell me honestly, what did the Crawford family promise the Moran family to make you betray your heart? Whatever they can give you, maybe I can give you too. I might even be able to give you more."

"Yeah, right!"

Clara sneered, "The Pierce family has long fallen into ruins. The Stellar Group you established with Liam Blackwood is also losing money. What can you give him? You’re just making empty promises..."

"I’m the one who decides if I can give him that, not you, so shut your trap."

Joanna gave Clara a fierce glare, then turned back to Ace. She reached out to him and said, "Come with me. I’ll only count to three. One, two..."
