The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 453 - 451

Everyone turned to look at Ace, falling silent right away. They didn’t dare to utter a single sound.

Joanna stared at the man as well, her beautiful eyes clouded with confusion. The man’s support was understandable, but also extremely unexpected.

"Our industry doesn’t solely rely on experience – skill is a very important trait as well. Since the attendees of this event are all top contributors, I’m sure you’ve seen her capabilities from four years ago..." Ace’s indifferent gaze traveled over the crowd as he spoke calmly.

"She managed to pass every test and earned her position as the president of the Electronics Technology Association, which proves that she is more than capable. Now that she has invented the G6 chip, I think she definitely has the right to be a conference member."

"I think Miss Pierce is quite admirable too!" Akio bowed deeply and smiled at Joanna. "Welcome, Miss Pierce! New talents are always welcome. Let’s get to know each other better!"

Frederick sighed, turning to the other members. "What do you all think?"

Seeing the two most influential figures in the room taking Joanna’s side, the others naturally didn’t dare to object. With that, they quickly changed their attitudes towards the woman, and started sucking up to her.

"My my, of course we welcome her! Our industry needs young prodigies like you!"

"Miss Pierce is a talented young woman and a feminist icon! The future of technology lies in your hands! I can see all the unlimited possibilities you will bring us!"

Joanna flashed them all a fake smile. "You all flatter me. I’m just a lucky young lady who still has a lot to learn from all of you! The industry is blessed to have all of you here..."

Beside her, Ace couldn’t help but smirk. ’This woman is actually pretty fluent in sarcasm.’

After handling the old men, Joanna found a chance to talk to Ace, and asked him softly, "Why did you help me?"

The man didn’t answer, and instead asked her, "So you disappeared for four whole years just to research electronic chips?"

"Well, that is part of it, but my end goal was to gain control over KCL Group, then use advanced technology to take over Moran Group as well. When we got a divorce, I rejected your offer of 40 million and only requested for the law firm because I wanted those three lawyers to help me with my equity transfer cases..." Joanna happily explained her plan.

She had never once regretted her choices, no matter how many obstacles she encountered. Everything had brought her to this moment, so she could safely say that her plan had been a success.

"That’s right, I even gave birth during that entire process. According to inheritance laws, Abby and Adie are now legally the heirs to Moran Group!"

Ace nodded and clapped softly. "That does sound like a perfect plan. I’m impressed!"

He realized that he really did underestimate Joanna. The woman had been planning for four years, and each step had been carefully calculated, giving him nowhere to go.

"Miss Pierce, I’m very curious, did you truly invent the G6 chip all on your own? Can you tell us about the research process?" As the host, Frederick asked the question that had been on everyone’s mind. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Joanna replied calmly, "The G6 chip was a success because of my friend’s support as well, and that friend is none other than Liam Blackwood, the sixth son of the Blackwood family. He provided me with the

best laboratory facilities I’ve ever seen, and gave me everything I needed for years..."

Her speech was simple and professional, and it impressed all the people there.

"So here’s another question... Since the G6 chip is about to be publicly listed on the market, can you perhaps reveal which company KCL Group will choose to work with? This will decide who’s the leader of our industry for the next decade, after all!" Frederick asked yet another question that piqued everyone’s interest.

"Miss Pierce, don’t think about it too much, just partner up with Higashino Corp! Nearly seventy percent of the artificial intelligence technology in our industry was created by us, and our yearly profit is basically immeasurable! If KCL chooses to work with us, I’ll give you twenty percent of our shares!" Akio said eagerly to Joanna.

Twenty percent of shares sounded quite generous, but a partnership with KCL would certainly bring Akio much more profit.

"Miss Pierce, you should work with DR Group! We are currently earning a lot of profit too, and I’ll be willing to offer up to fifty percent of our shares to you..."

The other members couldn’t stand by and watch any longer, and quickly fought to get her attention.

The whole time, Joanna didn’t respond. Instead, she looked at Ace, as if she were waiting for his answer.

Everyone soon understood the situation. Due to Joanna and Ace’s past relationship, KCL Group was likely going to continue working with Moran Group.

’Looks like the Moran family’s position in this industry is irreplaceable after all!’

At that moment, Seraphina rushed angrily into the room, a few security guards right behind her.

"I’m sorry, Miss Murphy, you can’t go in there..."

"I can go anywhere I want! My family sponsored this event, so shut up!" The woman yelled at the guards behind her. "If you don’t keep quiet, I’ll make sure you never step foot in the City ever again!"

All the guards were quite conflicted, but didn’t dare to stop her this time.

Seraphina approached the conference table and pointed at Joanna angrily. "How dare you ridicule me like that, you witch?! I’m going to kill you!"

After that, she lunged at Joanna like a rabid beast.

"Aww, my little daughter is mad! Daddy was just joking, don’t be so petty!" Joanna giggled and dodged swiftly. This made Seraphina lose her balance, and she nearly tumbled onto the floor.

"Careful." Ace instinctively caught Seraphina, preventing her fall.

"Stef! You have to stand up for me! You saw how this woman insulted me!" Seraphina took this chance to cling to the man, sobbing hysterically.

"I’ve been treated like a princess all my life, and I’ve never been so humiliated before! She made fun of me and my family, Stef! How can we ever face the public if we don’t do anything about this?!"

Ace frowned. "You were willing to call her Daddy, so how exactly did she ridicule you?"

"I... I was doing it for you..." Seraphina clenched her jaw. "I thought the new KCL chairman really wanted me to be their goddaughter! Wouldn’t that guarantee that KCL would work with Moran Group?"

Joanna stifled her laughter and put on a serious expression. "It’s not too late to call me Daddy, you know? As long as you’re willing, I promise KCL will sign a contract with Moran Group."
