The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 459 - 457

Susan never hoped for her dense son to actually swing by as told, as she only intended to intimidate Jovan and Sheila. After all, Ace was undoubtedly the future head of the family, so no one would ever dare to upset him.

As expected, Sheila’s arrogance instantly faded, and she lowered her voice. "Such embarrassing things should be handled privately, right? Let’s not bother anyone else. Besides, my dear nephew is probably busy with his new girlfriend, so he wouldn’t have the time for such trivial matters!"

"Now you’re calling it a trivial matter? Didn’t you want to call the cops not long ago?" Susan glared at Sheila, her demeanor arrogant. "I’ll tell you what, Campbell. My son and Seraphina are just acting, who he truly loves is Joanna! Now that your son has laid a finger on his girl, my son will definitely not let him off!"

Sheila gulped nervously, her cocky expression replaced with extreme panic. She warned Jovan, who was standing next to her. "Son, I don’t care who started it, but you have sinned. Let’s fly back to Newrest and repent before the Lord!"

At the time, she felt like the perfect strategy was to send Jovan away for now. When their family tried to ’commit treason’ back then, Ace and Jovan’s relationship had already deteriorated to the point of no return. Ace had been merciful enough to have spared Jovan, and yet the womanizer proceeded to make a move on his own cousin-in-law.

Sheila knew that Ace might actually murder her son with his own two hands if he were to come.

"Hey, don’t go yet. Weren’t you acting all high and mighty just now? Why are you being a coward now? You’re clearly guilty!" Susan blocked Jovan’s path, looking fierce.

Jovan smiled casually and replied, "Aunt Susan, I never wanted to run. I actually want Ace to come by, so I’ll be able to explain it all to him. I believe Ace is a generous man, and he’ll give us his

blessings by the end of this."

"Shut up!" Sheila was so painicked by her son’s madness that she stomped her feet, shoving him to the side. "You punk! Are you trying to make me mad?! I told you to leave, so leave! Stop this nonsense now!"

Ultimately, she just wanted her son to survive this. As long as her son lived, they would still have a chance at turning the tables. If he lost his life due to this, not only would the law dismiss their case, the entire family would think they deserved it too.

"Madam, Master, M... Master Ace is here!"

As they were still fighting, one of the maids came running up with a report.

Ace’s tall figure entered the room, a cold expression painted across his face. His menacing aura was similar to dark clouds in the sky, causing the entire living room to fall silent.

Everyone immediately tensed up, not daring to make any reckless moves. The only person who seemed unaffected was Joanna. Despite being in the eye of a hurricane, she behaved like a complete outsider, crossing her arms as she calmly smiled at the man.

She hadn’t expected Ace to come at all... ’So, that means I’m still pretty important to him! I’m not so easily thrown away!’

"Son, you’ve finally come! If you were any later, this shameless piece of trash would’ve escaped!" Susan beamed, as she had not expected him either.

At the very least, this indicated that Ace cared about Joanna to some extent, and the two had a chance to start over.

Ace, on the other hand, had his eyes fixated on Joanna. It was as if no one else existed in this world to him.

He advanced slowly as he questioned her, his lovely features chilly, his voice cold. "Tell me, did you really sleep with Jovan?"

Joanna’s cherry lips curved into a tiny grin as she asked him, "Do you really care if we slept together?"

"I’m asking whether you did it or not!"

Ace’s voice lowered a few notches, and he harshly gripped the woman’s shoulder, unable to control his emotions.

Joanna’s grin stopped, and her eyes were scornful as she asked him another inquiry, "Did you sleep with Seraphina? Where did you go with her after yesterday’s announcement?"

"Joanna, don’t push my buttons. You are well aware of the consequences of upsetting me!"

"We’ve faced each other before, and I’ve never been terrified of you. Do you think I will be afraid of you and your consequences now?"

She swatted his hands away, pretending to be affectionate with Jovan while pulling his hand while she challenged Ace. "If you can cheat behind my back, so can I. We’re no exception."

"Idiot!"

Ace was on the verge of losing his mind. His face flushed as he glared at her fiercely. "You can’t stand being alone, can you? If you think you’re getting even with me by doing this, you’re insane because you only hurt yourself!"

"Hahaha!!! I can’t stand being alone?"

Joanna laughed as if his words were the funniest she’d ever heard. "Compared to you, I have the decency to do it openly. I never did something as heinous as infidelity throughout my marriage. I’m not the one who can’t stand being alone. It’s you. Not only that, but you lack even the slightest morality!"

"It doesn’t matter what happened between Seraphina and me because we had feelings for each other. I didn’t humiliate myself. You understand Jovan’s personality better than anyone. Don’t you feel ashamed of yourself, sleeping with him just so you could get back at me?"

He was furious, not because she had betrayed him, but because Jovan was a jerk.

Ths would, of course, leave him enraged since the woman he treasured and protected with his life was damaged so simply by a jerk.

"Uhm, Ace, I think your words are a little..."

Ace hit Jovan straight in the nose before he could say anything. The impact was so powerful that his nose instantaneously cracked.

"Ah! Are you trying to murder him?"

Sheila yelled and stepped before Jovan. "Why are you standing there?" she commanded the servants. "Call the cops! He’s attempting to murder Jovan."

"Don’t stop Ace, Mom. Understandably, he’s furious about it. This is a conflict between two men, and it is bound to happen at some point."

Jovan wiped the blood from his nose with delight on his face. "Go ahead, strike me. Joanna will officially become my girlfriend once you’re done with your bashing session. Strike me, even if it means losing half of my life."

"Let me help you in achieving your dying wish!"

Blinded by burning rage, Ace lost all sense as he kicked Jovan.

"Enough!"

Having had enough, Joanna yelled at the top of her voice. "You’re both adults, yet you’re fighting like children?" I’m done with the Moran family because you all disgust me. I don’t want to be associated with any of you. Goodbye!"

She walked away without looking back once she finished speaking.
