The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 445 - 443

"I refuse!"

Ace already gave his answer before Joanna had even finished counting.

He was expressionless, as if he was looking at a stranger. Without any emotion, he said, "You’re always so arrogant. You think you have unlimited charm and can make me bow down to you. Little did you know that I was just playing with you. I’ve won when I confirmed that you’ve truly fallen for me. Naturally, I have no reason to continue our relationship anymore. I didn’t expect you to get addicted to being toyed with. You would rather be humiliated than give up. You’re pathetic." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Enough!"

Ethan’s fists were clenched. For the first time, he shed his calm and collected outer shell. With his emotions slightly out of control, he mocked Ace, "If you have the time to humiliate her, why not use it to think of a way to help the Moran Group overcome the crisis? If news of you doing something so cruel to a woman spreads, our Moran family will become a joke!"

"Isn’t that exactly what you want?"

Ace’s eyes swept towards Ethan like sharp daggers. "Besides, I’m not like you. At least I do things openly and never use dirty tricks."

That hit Ethan’s sore spot. Ethan, who had never backed down in an argument, decided to stop arguing with Ace.

He turned around, grabbed Joanna’s hand, and whispered, "You’ve met him now. It’s about time you give up on him. Let’s go."

"What’s the hurry..."

Joanna’s beautiful face seemed to be covered in a layer of frost. There was neither sadness nor joy there, making it difficult for others to read her thoughts.

Was she sad, was she angry, or was she indifferent?

"Even after what he said, you still wouldn’t give up on him?"

Ethan was angered by Joanna’s pathetic attitude. "Looks like you’re still the same as before. For this man, you would even throw away the basic dignity of a woman. You deserve to be betrayed and humiliated."

"You’re so noisy!"

Joanna glared at Ethan and said impatiently, "If you don’t want to die, get out of my sight, or I might accidentally hurt you."

"What do you mean by that?"

Ethan was confused, but he obediently moved further away.

Clara gulped and shrank deeper into Ace’s arms. She said, "What are you trying to do? This is the Blackwood family’s turf, so don’t think you can... Aah!"

Before she could finish speaking, Joanna had grabbed her by the neck and threw her into the swimming pool.

Chaos immediately ensued. Everyone there ran around like headless chickens.

Only Ace remained calm in the sun lounger with no expression on his handsome face. He merely waited patiently for Joanna’s next move.

"Ace Moran, I can’t believe you have the guts to betray me again. Do you know what’s the price for betraying me?"

Joanna looked down at the man and asked coldly.

"I don’t know, but I accept it."

Ace smiled coldly, "After all, I know I’ve done you wrong. You’re free to retaliate in any way you want."

"You really think I can’t touch you, Ace? Listen up, I won’t let it go this time. Since you dare to betray me, I’ll make you suffer!"

After saying that, Joanna grabbed the sprinkler from the man in the swimming pool and shot water at Ace’s handsome face.

"Aah!"

Everyone who witnessed it was shocked out of their wits!

They could not believe that someone would dare to be so disrespectful to Ace Moran.

Ace’s bathrobe and hair were soaked through. His face was in a mess, and he was also in pain.

However, he was not mad at all. Instead, he smiled. His long fingers combed through his wet hair. After being washed, his handsome face became even more dazzling in the sunlight. "Is that your retaliation? So childish."

"Of course it’s not just this. This is just the appetizer. The main dish is yet to come. Wait for it!"

After that, she threw away the sprinkler and smashed the banquet venue like a crazy woman before leaving the hotel.

The hotel manager wanted to rush forward to ask for compensation, but he was stopped by Ace.

Ace said coldly, "Leave her be. I’ll pay for all the damages."

When Clara saw that Joanna was gone, she climbed out of the swimming pool and came to Ace’s side. She said a bit apologetically, "I didn’t expect her to react so strongly. Should I catch up to her and explain?"

"If you had any intention of explaining, none of this would have happened, would it?"

His cold, emotionless words were completely devoid of any affection.

"Ace, you hate me, don’t you?"

Clara rubbed her fingers and said with a pained expression, "Do you know how much I had to go through to calm my father down? All I ask for is to date you for three months. After three months, the

grudge between the Moran family and the Blackwood family will be wiped clean. You can still go back to your darling wife then. Is that such a big sacrifice for you?"

"A conflict between the Moran family and the Blackwood family is inevitable. It can’t be avoided even if I make compromises for three months. The reason why I agreed is because you promised not to hurt Joanna..."

Ace gave her a threatening gaze and warned, "After three months, if you don’t destroy all those things cleanly, the entire Blackwood family will go down with you, I guarantee you that."

Those words angered Clara. She lost control and shouted at Ace, "Do you really love that woman so much that you would risk your career and the Moran family’s interests for her?!"

"I don’t care, so you better not try me."

"Hahaha, these words are like a slap to my face. Each word reminds me of my foolishness. I’m much more of a fool compared to you. I risked the future of the Blackwood family for a man who doesn’t even love me and for three months of lies."

"Yes, you’re indeed foolish. You’ve depleted every last bit of affection I had for you."

"In that case, there’s no turning back..."

Clara hugged his neck and leaned against him. "Since you promised to date me for three months, you’ll have to perform your duty as a man!"

After Joanna left the hotel, she continued to run amok along the seaside.

Weather at the seaside was always unpredictable. It was sunny earlier, but it suddenly rained cats and dogs in the blink of an eye.

Joanna was completely drenched.

Ethan propped up his umbrella and followed behind her. He jokingly said, "God is so good to my cousin Ace. He refused to let Ace suffer any injustice. You just gave Ace a cold shower, and now you’re already suffering the payback."

"Get lost!"

Joanna did not even spare him a glance. She held herself and said crossly, "I’m in a bad mood. If you don’t want to die, shut up!"

"You can sulk in my car. Why sulk in the rain? Do you think you’re filming a drama? Besides getting sick, how does it benefit you?"

Ethan suddenly exclaimed, "Ace? What are you doing here?"
