The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 529 - 517

"It’s... none of my business?" Joanna felt humiliated. She had tried her best to protect Ace, but it seemed like it meant nothing to him.

She... meant nothing to him.

"You’re right. It’s your business, so it has nothing to do with me. I must be bored, that’s why I’m doing all this."

Overwhelmed with sadness, Joanna staggered back a few steps.

Jovan caught her shaky body before she fell, and sneered mockingly, "If you’re so bored, go do charity. Help the kids in Zambawi, save the elephants, or go to teach in rural areas; there’s no need to meddle in others’ business. He doesn’t even appreciate your efforts."

"It’s none of your business what I do. I didn’t ask for your opinion." Joanna shot him a disdainful glare and pushed him away violently. Joanna was stubborn, but her body failed her. She fell to the floor hard after taking a few shaky steps.

"Miss Joan! Miss Joan!" Margaret shouted in panic.

Joanna didn’t know how much time had passed when she woke up. When she opened her eyes, her body felt light, like she was floating.

"You’re finally awake!" A man said elatedly, his large hands steadying her.

"Ace..." She mumbled, her vision still blurry. She saw a handsome man before her, so she assumed it was Ace.

The man was speechless, and his grip on her stiffened.

Joanna instantly realised that the man was Jovan, not Ace. Glaring at him coldly, she pulled back her hand and said scornfully, "You’ve finally got what you wanted. Why aren’t you out celebrating?"

"I told you a long time ago that my target was never Moran group, " Jovan said wearily.

"Yes, your goal was to defeat Ace. He’s suffered defeat now, so what else do you want?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Defeat Ace?" Jovan echoed cryptically. "Yes, that’s true. For a very long time in my life, my only goal was to surpass Ace, but now... he’s just a useless person. I should be satisfied, but for some reason, I’m not. I don’t seem to be enjoying this victory very much."

’Don’t be ridiculous! How much must you take from him before you’re satisfied?" Joanna snarled furiously, worried that this crazy man would plot against Ace again.

"That, my dear Joanna, depends on you." Jovan held her shoulders and stared at her with a strange smile

Joanna’s body stiffened as she glared at him coldly. "You said before that I would beg you one day, so is that what you’re waiting for?"

"You can say that." Jovan frowned slightly. Like a warlord that was one step away from conquering an enemy, he was feeling quite calm and sure of himself. "Don’t you feel sorry for him? You even risked your life for him. However, if you beg me, I’ll announce to the public that I’ll give up my right of inheritance... Moran group will still be his. What do you think?"

"Really?" Joanna stared at him hopefully. She knew Moran group was very significant to Ace; he had worked so hard for it for so many years. If it was snatched away by a despicable man like Jovan, Ace’s heart would break.

Joanna couldn’t bear to see that.

"Of course. If not, why would I still be here? I would have gone to celebrate with a bottle of champagne ages ago." Jovan leaned towards her, feeling bold when he saw uncertainty flash in her eyes. He lifted her chin so her lips almost brushed his, and his eyes darkened in desire as he murmured, "Beg for it."

"Ugh!" Joanna rolled her eyes, and pretended to throw up." Jovan, stop being a weirdo – the ’domineering CEO’ role doesn’t suit you. Just tell me the price so I can calculate the cost-performance."

"Cost... Cost-performance?" Jovan’s face fell instantly. He had been practising the whole ’aloof president’ act, but it had no effect at all on Joanna. ’Why did she have to ruin it? Can’t she at least be a little helpless like the heroines in those melodramatic romance novels?’

But he forgot that this was Joanna – she wouldn’t hesitate to use violence to beat people up if she found it necessary. Pigs would fly before she became feeble and helpless.

Joanna continued seriously, "If the price is low, I’ll do it. So what if I have to get down on my knees? I’m not a man.

However, if the price is too great, I won’t do it. I’ll just use a simple but violent method to resolve this issue."

Despite his weariness, he couldn’t help but be curious. "Oh, and what kind of method would that be?"

Joanna smirked, and her charming face turned cold as she ran her finger across her neck. "I’ll kill you."

She wasn’t joking. If it came down to that, she would do so without any hesitation. It was simply the easiest way. After all, she had killed Briar; she didn’t mind killing another person.

Jovan’s mischievous expression turned gloomy. He was silent for a while before he asked her quietly, "Do you hate me that much?"

Joanna scoffed, "You’re overthinking. I don’t hate you, I just want to kill whoever blocks my path."

"So, you’re willing to be a ruthless murderer for that fickle

and cruel man?" Jovan sneered.

"Aren’t you the same?" Joanna retorted. "Wouldn’t you be willing to kill someone if I asked you to?"

Silence swept over Jovan. He assumed that he was a clearheaded and wise man who dealt with all kinds of relationships with ease, but he always acted like a child in front of Joanna. She saw through him, and he was always at her mercy. He had no way to fight back.

Joanna noted the pain and panic in his eyes, and smiled contentedly. She then lifted his chin and sneered condescendingly, "So, name your price. After all, killing you isn’t exactly part of my plan."

"Is... Is that so?"

His gloomy eyes lit up like a lighthouse at night, as if her words had sparked a flame of hope in his soul. Elated, he asked her eagerly, "Does that mean that you can’t bear to see me dead?"
