The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 448 - 446

The annual Global Electronic Technology Industry Summit was held at the Santa Fe Hotel in the city. All the companies invited were top technological companies from around the world. The Moran Group and the KCL Group were without a doubt the two biggest companies there. They drew a lot of media attention.

However, the Moran Group had been in trouble recently. There were rumors that the cooperation between the Moran Group and the KCL Group had not been finalized, resulting in the Moran Group’s largest investment, the G6 chip phone project, being delayed for nearly half a year. Their major production lines and sales lines were thus non-operational. The Moran Group’s performance had declined for two quarters in a row, resulting in heavy losses.

To make matters worse, a group of investment companies led by the Crawford family seemed to have heard some rumors and were divesting. Moran Group’s most prestigious R&D team was also showing signs of breaking up. The company was going through a turbulent time right now and was showing signs of collapsing.

Therefore, today’s Global Electronic Technology Industry Summit was quite important for the Moran Group. It would determine the power distribution of the electronic technology industry in the city, and even the entire world, for the next decade.

"Will Crawford’s Investment Group really divest from the Moran Group?"

"Can the Moran Group still reach an agreement with the KCL Group?"

"Can the Moran Group weather the crisis and maintain top spot in the industry?"

These questions would be answered in this summit.

Reporters were already waiting outside the hotel early in the morning, eager to report live from the summit.

However, the entry threshold for the summit was very high. Not everyone in the electronic technology field was qualified to enter. Even the media members could only wait outside the hotel.

Flowers and red carpets were laid out all the way to the parking lot. Big shots in the industry appeared one after another.

A Lincoln limousine pulled up to the red carpet. Reporters swarmed over, excitedly pressing their camera shutters. The onlookers were also talking excitedly among themselves.

"Look, I think that’s the Crawford family’s car. I wonder if Crawford’s Investment Group will continue to cooperate with the Moran Group after the summit."

"I think they will. Recently, both families have been discussing a marriage alliance, but for some reason, we haven’t heard much progress..."

"Whether they’ll continue to cooperate depends entirely on the Crawford family’s eldest daughter. After all, she’s Crawford’s Investment Group’s only heir!"

The doorman respectfully bent down to open the car door. The people who got down from the car were none other than Ace in an elegant suit and Seraphine in an expensive gown.

The two of them got out of the car one by one. Seraphine took Ace’s arm, and they proudly walked into the venue amidst flowers, applause, and envy.

Their joint appearance brought the atmosphere at the venue to a climax. The non-stop camera flashes almost turned night into day.

Their appearance no doubt signaled to the outside world that the Moran Group and Crawford’s Investment Group were in a "honeymoon period". Their relationship was fine and they would keep cooperating in the future. The Moran Group and the Moran family would still be the leading family in the city!

Ace and Seraphine arrived at the meeting. They were warmly welcomed by everyone in attendance. The leaders of various groups came forward to greet them and to chat.

Seraphine looked like a future wife of the Moran family already, and maybe even the future lady of the Moran household. She socialized with everyone gracefully, occasionally leaning close to Ace to show their intimate relationship to the outside world.

"Hahaha, you flatter us, Mr. Dickens. Ace and I are the younger generation. We still have a lot to learn from you and the other elders..."

Seraphine skillfully touched glasses with a leading industry figure. She then whispered to Ace, "Like we agreed upon, today, you will announce our relationship, while I, as the heir of Crawford’s Investment Group, will announce the news of our continued cooperation."

Ace said coldly, "I don’t care if the Crawford family wants to continue the cooperation, but you better keep your word and destroy everything like you promised. I don’t want to see those things ever again."

"Oh, don’t worry, we’ve been friends for so many years. You can trust me..."

Seraphine was somewhat displeased. "You’re only concerned about her? What happens today may decide the life and death of the Moran Group. Don’t you care about that at all?"

"I don’t. I don’t care even if the Moran family goes bankrupt."

Ace had long grown tired of all this. He had grown tired of the lies and deceit in the business world and the hypocrisy and greasiness of businessmen.

The fame and fortune that seemingly everyone in the world coveted could interest him no more. He did not want to stay in this field for a minute longer than necessary.

"I’m going outside for some fresh air. Please excuse me."

Ace nodded slightly, put down the champagne glass in his hand, and escaped from the crowd without looking back.

On the second floor of the Santa Fe Hotel, there was a large terrace that contained lush tropical plants. It was also adorned with tiny lights that flickered like little stars.

This spot was quiet and secluded. Sometimes, one could even find birds and butterflies here. It was like a secret realm hidden in the bustling city. Few people knew about this place.

Ace discovered it by chance. After walking through layers of trees and flowers, he saw a beautiful and enchanting figure leaning against the wooden railing of the terrace.

The woman was wearing a red gown that was tight in the upper body and loose in the lower body. The design of the gown meant that her back was completely exposed. Her beautiful back was as fair and delicate as snow. Ace could hardly take his eyes off it.

A gentle breeze blew over her rose-colored gown and her waterfall-like hair. The sight was beyond enchanting...

"Joanna?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Ace clenched his fingers and called out the woman’s name.

The woman turned back and gave him a smile while flicking her hair that was blown by the wind. "There you are."

She was like a predator that had been lying in wait for a long time for her prey to deliver itself to her!

"Should the CEO of Moran Group really be here right now?"

Joanna had a glass of red wine in her hand. She swayed it gently and joked, "Shouldn’t you be talking to the big shots below about the future of the industry? What are you doing here?"

Ace frowned as he observed the woman’s every move. He asked, "What are you doing here? And why are you dressed like this?"

"Dressed like what?"

Joanna put down her wine glass, lifted her skirt and spun around. She looked at him seductively. "What’s wrong? Don’t I look good in this?"

"Stop wasting your time."

He grabbed her wrist forcefully and pulled her into his arms. He said mercilessly, "It’s over between us. No matter what you do, I won’t feel anything."

"Then why are you so scared to look into my eyes?"

"Says who?"

Ace lifted her chin with his fingers and looked straight into her eyes.

Although his handsome face was as cold as ice, his moving Adam’s apple betrayed his chaotic emotions inside. With a hoarse voice, he asked, "Tell me what you’re doing here."
