The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 499 - 487

"Adie... Abby..." Ace mumbled his precious children’s names, the sadness in his eyes compounded. "What right do I have to call myself their father now? I don’t think they’d even want someone useless as family."

"Then don’t be useless! You’re just blind and still have your smarts to back you up, and you’re definitely still capable of managing the company. It’s just that you can’t show yourself during this period of time. Don’t let anyone, especially Jovan, find out that you have lost your sight. Else we’d have more problems to worry about."

Susan had already thought this through and had only announced to the public that Ace caught a severely contagious disease. She told everyone that he was still in recovery and couldn’t manage the company or receive guests for the time being

However, a lie like that would only cover up the truth for so long. The limited time they currently had was a great incentive for her to find this Albus Order leader as quickly as possible.

Just then, one of the maids shouted in a panic from outside, "No, Master Jovan. Our madam said that no one is allowed to enter without her permission! Please cooperate with us."

"What the heck? I’m part of the Moran family, too, you know? I came to see my cousin. I heard he’s sick, and I’ve been so worried this whole time!" Jovan said in a loud and sarcastic tone as he strode into the manor, despite the maid’s attempt at stopping him.

"Damned kid! He’s like a f*cking ghost. We can’t even mention his name in this house!" Susan was so mad that she started cussing, then turned to Ace. "Head back to your room. I’ll handle him, for now. And remember... Don’t show yourself!"

Jovan was in the living room at the time. His hands were in his pockets, his expression nonchalant and arrogant. "Hey, Aunt Susan, your maids are so stubborn. I just swung by to check up on Cousin

Ace, but she wouldn’t let me in! It’s like you guys have some kind of secret to hide."

Susan knew that they were still the passive party and didn’t want to fight with Jovan. After all, this man was insane, and fighting with him would only result in a lose-lose situation.

With that in mind, she put up a smile and greeted him instead. "Hey, dear nephew, what brings you here? It’s almost midnight, but you still went out of your way to visit us. I’m so touched I could cry! But, well... Ace caught a pretty bad contagious disease, so he needs a lot of rest. He went to bed hours ago, so he can’t see you just yet!"

"That’s okay, I’m feeling tired too. If you don’t mind, Aunt Susan, I could stay for the night. Then I can just see Ace when morning comes." Jovan replied and started going up the stairs.

"I’m sorry, this is actually Ace and Joanna’s house. Only their close ones are allowed to sleep over. If you really want to visit him, you could come earlier tomorrow."

"As you said, this place is my cousin and his wife’s. Does that mean I can stay if I got permission from Joanna?" Jovan smiled slyly.

When Susan heard Joanna’s name, her expression immediately became unnatural.

At that moment, she was unaware of Joanna’s current condition but guessed that she must be in great danger since she had fallen into Seraphina’s hands.

She sighed quietly with a tinge of melancholy, but she had no regrets.

It was all because that wicked woman had sought to harm her only son with a passion. Besides, Joanna did not regret it, which was why Susan felt that it was not outrageous to hack her into pieces.

"You know that Ace divorced her. It’ll be useless even if you call her. Just keep in mind that Ace dislikes unrelated people staying overnight..."

She sounded unconfident, so she gradually became impatient. She tried to drive him away. "It’s getting late. Lisa, see him to the door."

However, Jovan’s teasing smile turned chilly. He went straight to the point and stated, "Aunt Susan, don’t think of getting rid of me that easily since I came to you at this hour. I came asking for her. I won’t leave if I can’t get her."

"What... Who are you looking for?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"You should know very well who."

Jovan’s eyes turned ruthless as he said, "I heard that she met an actress called Shirley this morning. She contacted no one after that. What’s more, I heard that you took this actress called Shirley as your goddaughter in previous years just to please Ace. The only person she contacted after Joanna disappeared was you... I feel that there’s something wrong with this affair. Aunt Susan, shouldn’t you explain?"

Consequently, Susan’s expression became more hideous. She snorted and retorted, "You’re her brother-in-law, but you care so much about your cousin’s ex-wife. Your extensive connections go way beyond my expectations too. I think you’ve planted a lot of spies around my family and me these years. Well, you’re indeed awesome."

"Likewise. Don’t you and Ace know full well of my actions too?"

He smiled coldly as he sighed.

"So, you came to make a scene here in the middle of the night because of that woman?"

Susan interrogated as her eyes became sharp.

She thought that Jovan had learned about Ace’s blindness, so he purposely came to find fault with him. Unexpectedly, he came for Joanna. It made Susan hard to handle.

"Yes, you can say that."

Jovan nodded. He did not at all hide his strong purpose before he answered honestly, "Let me have her, and I’ll leave right away. If you refuse to hand her to me... Umm, I’m sure you’re well aware of my temper."

"Preposterous!"

Susan said disdainfully, "Why do you care so much about her? Don’t tell me that the rumor in the gossip magazine is true. Are you her first love? You guys have been entangled with each other from god knows when, and she cheated on Ace?"

"I don’t deny that I like her very much, even more than the love Ace holds for her. But it’s unimportant whether she likes me or not. After all, I have ways to make her fall in love with me in the future."

Jovan raised his chin, and his smugness came on display, admitting his feelings for Joanna openly.

"You... You’re a pervert! How dare you covet your sister-in-law. I’ll call Master now and ask him to disown such an immoral and shameless b*stard like you!"

"Whatever!"

Jovan’s gaze was full of viciousness and recklessness. "Do you think this lousy identity is meaningful to me? I’ve long had enough. I just want Joanna now. Don’t test my patience. Let me have her now!"

Susan knew for a fact that Jovan would lose his mind inexplicably, but it was beyond her expectation he would react that way because of Joanna. Hence, she said coldly, "She’s not here. Just go ahead if you want to make a scene. I have all the time in the world to waste with you."

She would never tell Jovan about Joanna’s location because doing that would only create greater trouble. She felt that she should avoid unnecessary trouble.

After all, she would prevent him from getting close to Ace and learning about his blindness. At most, he was just a young man who was unable to stir up any trouble.

"Well, you refuse to tell me, don’t you... Fine, I’ll ask your son then."

Jovan knew for sure that Susan must have done something to Joanna. It meant that Joanna might be in grave danger at the moment.
