The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 501 - 489

Jovan was the mysterious man who gave her the video of Joanna pushing Briar down the cliff.

She successfully broke Ace and Joanna up by relying on that video.

However, they were just separated. The feelings Ace had for Joanna never changed, but they intensified.

A great sense of defeat washed over her when she saw him sacrifice himself just to protect Joanna. On the contrary, she felt like her dignity was being violated. Naturally, her hatred for Joanna grew with time.

All she wanted now was for Joanna to die.

Seraphina believed that Ace would belong to her if Joanna died.

Unfortunately, Joanna was too tough, and she escaped repeatedly. She was indeed hard to handle.

"Seraphina, tell me honestly. You’re lying by claiming that Joanna had jumped into the river, aren’t you? She won’t do such a stupid thing given her character."

Jovan used the last bit of sanity he had to analyze the possibility of Joanna jumping into the river.

"Humph! Jump into the river to search for her. You’ll know if I’m lying to you."

Seraphina laughed coldly and said, "You claimed that you love her, but you’re chickening out. Frankly, all men love themselves the most. How will you endanger yourself for an uncertain factor?"

As she mocked him with gusto, she suddenly glanced at the door of the warehouse, where she caught a glimpse of a tall and upright figure.

She recognized the person at first glance. He was Ace.

It was because only Ace possessed such a perfect body figure.

"Ace, why... why are you here? Did Miss Susan come with you?"

Seraphina, unable to keep appearing as if she was teasing Jovan, was concerned now. She struggled anxiously and tried to rush toward Ace.

"Ace?"

Jovan turned around and looked at the door of the warehouse. He was trying to sound Ace out. "Didn’t they claim that you’re suffering from an infectious disease and that you can’t even get out of bed? You look fine and healthy now!"

It was too dark, so Jovan could only see a dark figure. He could see nothing, so he could not affirm whether the rumors were true.

Ace stood there uprightly. It did not affect him at all, no matter how dark the surrounding was. Hence, he was currently the most sensitive and responsive one among the three.

"Seraphina, can you repeat what you said just now?"

Ace ignored Jovan and tried to seek confirmation from Seraphina. "What happened to Joanna?"

"She, she..."

Seraphina became flustered. She was at a loss for how she should answer the question.

"Be frank with me. Did she jump into the river?"

Ace’s voice turned low and cold with an innate autocracy.

Seraphina swallowed. She seemed to be placed in a dilemma now, and she could not make up her mind.

"I don’t know. I know nothing. She may be in danger, or she may still be safe. Go and look for her... Or, you can let me go first. We’ll look for her together."

Seraphina’s words made them relax a little.

"Okay, let’s look for her together. If we can’t find her, I’ll make you jump into the river."

Jovan knitted his brows and shot the iron chains that bound her. He broke them with a gunshot.

After Seraphina regained her freedom, she ran to Ace, who was at the door of the warehouse.

"Ace, how are you? Are you hurt? Where’s Miss Susan... Did you come here alone?"

She ignored her physical injury and held his arms firmly. She then began to look for Susan.

"I came alone."

Ace sounded cold, devoid of any extra emotion.

"What? Did you come alone? You... How did you do that? Are you not hurt?"

Seraphina could not imagine how a blind man like Ace would walk a few miles from a luxurious villa to such a dangerous and remote warehouse.

"That’s not important. Tell me where Joanna is."

His deep-set and bright eyes were hidden in the dark as he anxiously interrogated her.

"Do you love her that much?"

Excruciating pain engulfed her. She inexplicably felt pathetic. Her eyes turned red as she said, "She’s caused you and me so much harm. Why don’t you hate her? You came to her alone from so afar. Have you ever thought of bumping into your enemies? What would happen to you then? Even if you didn’t bump into your enemies, a sports bike accident would have caused an unimaginable result. Are you even willing to give up your life for her?"

"I told you. That’s not important."

Ace wore a cold face and shoved her away. He then groped around and headed outside. "If you don’t want to tell me the truth, I’ll look for her on my own."

"Let me... go with you. I know where she is. I’ll look for her with you."

Even if she was full of hatred and fury, she could not bear to leave Ace alone, let alone Jovan, that cunning excuse of a man.

She wiped away her tears and quickly went forward to support him. "I told you. I’m your walking stick. I’ll be with you no matter where you want to go."

"Seraphina, thank you. I know you’re a good girl. You won’t kill her."

Ace looked in Seraphina’s direction in a daze. "Help me find her. I won’t hold you responsible if she’s fine."

"Wait, count me in!"

Jovan had been standing inside the warehouse and observing Ace and Seraphina.

Their conversation was strange, especially the insufferably arrogant Ace. He was extremely weird.

Was the rumor true? His perfect cousin was blind?

"Go and look for her on your own. Don’t follow us!"

Seraphina was not dumb. She’d been protecting Ace all along, not giving Jovan a single chance to approach him. She obeyed Susan’s order and tried her best to prevent Jovan from realizing that Ace was blind.

Luckily, it was a dark, moonless night. Hence, the outside and inside of the warehouse were in pitch darkness. Nothing could be seen.

Jovan attempted to approach Ace to observe his eyes, but he was blocked by Seraphina fiercely.

Of course, he was in no mood to investigate if Ace’s blindness was true. He wanted to find Joanna as soon as possible, so he could stop the debilitating anxiousness that plagued his soul.

They walked on with great difficulty, trundling through the rough mountain road that was behind the warehouse to the river.

Seraphina felt that it would not do, so she stated honestly, "Let me be frank with you. I was kidnapped at that time, so I didn’t know where Joanna went. I just wanted to curse her when I claimed that she had jumped into the river. She might have long gone home. Let’s not look for her around the river. The place is too steep, and it’s very dangerous."
