The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 473 - 471

While fumbling, Ace vigilantly closed the door.

The only person he trusted in Carmine Pawnshop was Chase.

He did not think that the four-year master-servant relationship was merely acting.

"Mr. Moran, what would you like to ask me?"

Chase sighed secretly and asked Ace softly.

"How is Joanna? Did that maniac hurt her?"

"Don’t worry, Mr. Moran. Miss Pierce is fine. Even if my boss hurt himself, he won’t hurt

Miss Pierce," Chase answered honestly.

"So, they’re siblings?"

"Yes, they’re mixed-gendered twins."

"No wonder that maniac let me go. It’s unprecedented!"

Ace slowly clenched his fingers with deep shock.

Although he had long guessed that Joanna had an extraordinary relationship with that man, he was still ill at ease when he confirmed it at the moment. His beliefs were deeply shaken.

It turned out that the rumor was not ungrounded. That year, the Pierce family did gain a pair of twins of mixed genders. However, rumor had it that the elder son died upon birth, and he turned out to be alive later.

"If that’s the case, why didn’t Joanna come and see me? Is she..."

Ace’s heart skipped a beat because he did not dare to dwell on it anymore.

He vaguely remembered that Joanna jumped into the water dungeon to save him. It meant that she might also be bitten by the venomous snakes.

If she was fine and if she was that man’s sister, she would have freedom in Carmine

Pawnshop. Shouldn’t she come and see him long ago?

It had been such a long time, but she did not come. So, the reason was obvious.

"Don’t worry. Miss Pierce is fine. She’s not at Carmine Pawnshop now."

"She’s not around?"

"Yes, she left long ago when you were nearing death. She might not even care about whether you’re alive or not!"

Chase shrugged and elaborated lightly, "Miss Pierce is the same as my boss. They’re rational people. They won’t delay their plans for the sake of romantic relationships. What’s more... there’s one thing which I’m unsure whether I should tell you honestly or not." Ace subconsciously clenched his fingers. His heart was filled with unstoppable pain. He asked coldly, "What is it?"

"It wasn’t the boss’ idea to lure you into the water dungeon. It was Miss Pierce’s idea instead. She hates you for lying to her and betraying her. So, she wanted to go the whole hog and kill you so as not to be affected by you..."

"That’s impossible!"

Ace’s eyes turned scarlet. He said firmly, "Do you think you can sew discord between us?

Joanna isn’t that kind of cruel and wicked woman. It’s very easy if she wants me dead. She didn’t have to spend so much effort, let alone jump into the water prison to save me!"

"It’s normal, even if you don’t believe me. After all, you guys were once a married couple, and you’ve had children together. Who will believe that their significant other wants to kill them?"

Chase shook his head and gave Ace a fatal blow. "But if she cares for you, why would she leave at such an important moment without any concerns about you? When you’re blind, and at your most helpless, she leaves you all alone in your enemy’s base, which is full of danger. She didn’t even inquire anything about you."

"That’s enough. Shut up"

Finally, Ace had a mental breakdown.

No matter how strong his heart was, how could he convince himself to face such a hard truth?

"That’s all I wanted to say. Your body is clear of snake venom now. My boss is a man of his word. Soon someone will take you back to the Moran family. Take care."

After that, Chase gave Ace a firm bow full of apology before he left the room.

After a long silence, Ace’s crazy roars came from the room. He sounded like a wounded beast. There was even the sound of things being smashed.

"Joanna, you’re such a cruel monster!"

Standing not far away from the room, Chase rubbed his fingers together in a deep struggle.

Quinton was standing beside Chase with his head high and chest out.

He then cracked a satisfactory smile and nodded at Chase. "Chase, you did a good job. So, it seems you’ve made up for your faults with some contributions. Work hard at Carmine

Pawnshop from now, and I won’t hold you responsible for what happened in the past."

However, Chase was full of worry. He endlessly looked toward Ace’s room and said in concern, "Sir, Ace seems to be too agitated. He hit and smashed things. Isn’t it dangerous? After all, he’s a blind guy now. What if he steps on the broken pieces of the porcelain..."

"Don’t worry. He’s a very cunning man. He’s just venting his feelings. He won’t hurt himself.

What’s more... I’ll ask someone to give him a ride home. Nothing will happen to him." Chase was at a loss for words.

He then lowered his head and heaved a long sigh. He appeared like he wanted to say something, but he dared not do so.

Consequently, Quinton’s eyes turned cold before he glared at Chase and uttered, "What’s wrong? You can’t bear to do this, huh? Don’t forget how cold-blooded he was back when he got rid of our Carmine Pawnshop. You’re the only one left in The Three Musketeers. Are you grieving over your enemy?"

"No, of course not!"

Chase hurriedly explained, "He deserves to die. Sir, you let him off the hook. So, it’s considered his blessing. Of course, I won’t pity him. I just think that..."

"What do you think?"

"He’s indeed despicable, but he’s sincere toward Miss Pierce, and so does Miss

Pierce. You asked me to say such cruel words just now to sew discord between him and Miss Pierce. Will it... be bad for Miss Pierce?" Chase asked carefully.

Joanna risked her life to save Ace. When she woke up, she ran over to visit him, who was still in a coma.

However, Quinton asked Chase to distort the truth purposely and claim that Joanna was a cruel and bad woman. Hence, Chase felt that it was too cruel for both Joanna and Ace.

"Humph! What do you know?"

Quinton always planned ahead. He explained, "I did this for my sister’s sake. She wants to cut off all ties with this guy, so she needs some very extreme means. I’m just granting her wish.

"Acting on impulse would only harm her. Look at what she did this time! She knew that the water dungeon was full of venomous snakes, but she dived in just to save a traitor. Luckily, she was rescued. We can’t be sure if the same thing will happen again... She’ll never be harmed if emotions and love are completely eliminated!"

"That’s right. Getting rid of all emotions and love is the slogan you asked us to remember when you first established Carmine Pawnshop. We’ve been adhering to it for so many years. You even acted like a role model that was never in love. That’s why Carmine Pawnshop is so glorious. Maybe your method is indeed good for them."

After dwelling on it for a while, Chase chose to side with Quinton. He even began convincing himself.

"Hmm, never in love..."

Quinton rubbed his fingers together. His gaze slowly turned gloomy as his memories overwhelmed him.

He was once stubborn enough to fall in love. After that, he swore never to fall in love again.

That kind of thing was no different from poison. Once a person got in touch with it, one would be filled with deep pain. It was even fatal.
