The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 502 - 490

Unexpectedly, the both of them did not believe her.

Jovan argued and threatened, "Things have come to this state, but you’re still playing tricks? Do you think I’ll believe you? You must have pushed her into the river. You’re just stalling for time, aren’t you? If anything happens to her, I’ll kill you, even if I have to risk my life for it!"

Ace chimed in gloomily, "You don’t have to hide anything now. I told you. I won’t hold you responsible as long as she’s still alive. The rapids are strong, and we can’t delay this!"

"I... I’m not playing any tricks, and I don’t want to hide anything either. She didn’t jump into the river. Even if you suck out the water from this river, you won’t find her. I don’t want you guys to waste your energy!"

Seraphina helplessly tried to explain.

At that time, Jovan found something strange by the river bank by relying on the light of his phone.

"Doesn’t that clothing belong to Joanna? She might have fallen into the river in that position."

Seraphina looked over and was shocked. "It’s really her clothing. Did she slip and fall into the river?"

Ace was rendered speechless.

He then pursed his thin lips. While listening to the turbulent water, he struggled out of Seraphina’s support and rushed toward the river bank.

"Joanna!"

He groped along the river fence and screamed Joanna’s name. However, all he heard was the fierce roar of the gushing river.

Jovan also followed suit and observed the river. He then looked at Ace, who was beside him, and pointed at a spot in the middle of the water. He said urgently, "Look! Something is floating there. Is it Joanna? It seems to have lost consciousness. It’s not moving..."

"Where is it?"

"It’s right before you, at your two o’clock. Can’t you see it?"

Jovan turned on his phone and sounded very urgent. "I’ll call for help now... D*mn it! The signal is bad here. Let me go get the signal. Wait here."

"There’s no time!"

Ace did not doubt him at all. He risked everything and dived into the river.

However, the water was simply too rapid, and after looking around briefly, he couldn’t find Joanna. Consequently, he was washed away by the river..."

"Ah, Ace!"

Seraphina caught up to them and watched as Ace was washed further and further away. Shock dawned on her, and her mind went blank.

Holding the phone, Jovan walked over from not afar unhurriedly. He stared at the surface of the river expressionlessly. "My insufferably arrogant cousin turned out to be so dumb. I just tested him a bit, and he’s already exposed himself. He’s blind now, but he foolishly dived into the river and dreamed of saving the damsel in distress. He can’t be considered a lovestruck fool anymore. He’s so hopelessly in love that he can’t even think straight. There’s no hope for him now."

"What did you do? You’re a maniac! What did you do to him?"

"Nothing. I just lied to him that there was something in the river. I just wanted to test if he was blind, but he dived into the river straightaway. I am not to blame."

Jovan spread his hands and appeared very helpless.

"Jovan, you... you’re simply disgusting!"

Seraphina’s face turned very pale. Shaking, she pounced on him to beat him up. "He’s your cousin. What you did is murder!"

"Murder?"

Jovan grabbed Seraphina’s hand and smiled coldly and ruthlessly. "He jumped into it himself. It has nothing to do with me. If you find me guilty, you can report me to the police."

While the heated argument ensued, two rays of light appeared in the dark. After that, the sound of tires screeching could be heard.

Joanna opened the door of the driver’s seat and got out of the car coldly. She aloofly stared at the two people who were illuminated by the rays of light.

"What are you guys doing?"

She demanded arrogantly and superiorly.

Both Jovan and Seraphina were stunned.

"Great! Joanna, here you are!"

His tense facial features were instantly relaxed. He was so unsettled that his eyes turned watery. "Do you know how you scared me? I nearly jumped into the river to look for you..."

Joanna frowned slightly and asked in a trance, "Why did you want to jump into the river to look for me?"

After she left Moran Villa, she wanted to return to Carmine Pawnshop. However, she was still worried about Seraphina, so she went back there to release her and talk to her about Ace.

When she drove to the warehouse, she saw two people having a heated argument at the river bank. Unexpectedly, they were Jovan and Seraphina.

Before Jovan could answer, Seraphina struggled out of his grasp and rushed toward Joanna crazily. She then slapped Joanna hard.

"You jinx! Why are you still alive? Ace dived into the river to save you. If anything happens to him, I’ll fight you until my last breath!"

"Ace?"

Joanna could no longer keep her aloofness. She asked in disbelief, "What are you joking about? Isn’t he at Moran Villa? Why did he come here? Did he... dive into the river?"

"What do you think? He did that to save a jinx like you. Why didn’t you kill yourself? Just go to hell! Once you’re dead, all of us will be free!"

Seraphina’s hatred toward Joanna had reached its peak. Completely unhinged and unrestrained, she attacked Joanna. Her hair that hung loosely about her made her look like a deranged psychopath. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Seraphina, are you out of your mind? You can’t hurt her!"

Jovan reacted fast and rushed forward before he grabbed Seraphina’s hair and pushed her to the side.

"Are you okay? Does your face hurt? Did he scratch you?"

He held Joanna’s face and looked at the clear slap mark on her face with deep heartache. He then said fiercely, "I think I’d better push her into the river as well so she won’t scheme against you again."

Seraphina collapsed on the ground and appeared enlightened. Her fingers trembled as she pointed at them. "I see. You guys conspired to harm Ace. You pretended to go missing to lure Ace here, then Jovan lied to him about someone in the river. Ace was just a fool. He stupidly dived into the river just like that. You two are so wicked and cruel. What a cheating couple!"

"Shut up! You’re noisy."

Jovan shot Seraphina a cold glare and found her quite annoying. He then said calmly, "I did lie to that stupid Ace, and he dived into the river as a result. But I didn’t expect him to be so dumb. He’s blind, but he still tried to act strong and save the damsel in distress. It serves him right if he’s dead... But this thing has nothing to do with Joanna. She’s a victim too. If you speak nonsense again, I’ll push you into the river so you can reunite with Ace."

Joanna gradually learned about the ins and outs of the incident from their conversation. Her eyes turned red, and a spear drove through her heart. She sobbed and looked at Jovan, "Did... Did you mean that Ace dived into the river just... to save me?"

"That’s right. He dived into the river a few minutes ago. I’m sure he’s crushed to mush now. That’s because he’s dumb. It was a trap, but he jumped right in like an idiot," Jovan spat arrogantly before he lowered his head gently. He held her swollen face tenderly. "I won’t let anyone bully you again. Never!"

"Don’t touch me!" Joanna roared at him. "At first, I thought that you were just crazy. It turns out that you’re not only crazy, but you’re wicked... wicked to the core."

Jovan felt excruciating pain before he cracked a sinister and stubborn sneer. "Yes, that’s true. Of course, I have to be wicked. If not, I can’t defeat him for the rest of my life, let alone gain you... Do you know how much I love you, Joanna?"

"Love?"
