The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 271 - 268

"Dear, stop beating him! If you continue, you’ll kill our son...!"

Hayden cried as she held Liam in her arms.

Tears flowed down her face as she begged, "Liam is your only son! You have a huge business! If you kill him, who will inherit it?"

"Mom, I don’t like that you said that!"

Laura, the third daughter of the Blackwood family, sneered, "You make it sound like we’re not part of the family! What? Did you pick us up from the roadside? Even if Liam is no more, it’s not like the Blackwood name will go extinct! What century are we in? Why do you still prefer sons over daughters?"

"That’s right!" Geronimo exclaimed.

"Liam is not my only descendent! If I beat this loser to death, I still have six daughters! Every single one of them brings me less heartache than this loser, especially Laura! The family business I handed to her has been flourishing these years, and I’d be at ease if I handed them all the business!"

Laura smirked, then said to Liam, who was kneeling in the middle of the room, "When you took that money to start Stellar Group, you didn’t just use it to pick up girls, did you? We thought you were over that, but who would have thought you would become more addicted the more you invested?You took all of the Blackwoods’ money and threw it at Ace’s wife, and what was the result? She got tired of playing with you, obviously.Did she thank you? Did she let you touch her? You’ve been licking her shoes for so many years.Did you get anything out of it? Now you’re almost dead from getting beaten.Do you think she cares?"

Liam clenched his fist tightly, and he glared at Laura with reddened eyes, sneering, "Dear sister, I warn you to speak respectfully.The boss is my savior, and she holds a sacred place in my heart! If you continue with such disrespect, don’t blame me for ignoring our relationship!"

Geronimo became angrier when he heard those words.

"You brat! You’ve been bewitched! I’ve had an outstanding life and experienced countless women! How could I have given birth to such an idiot who gets affected by love? What shitty retribution is this?!"

The older man was furious that he raised the iron whip in his hand and brought it down fiercely again.

"You’ll be ruined in that woman’s hands sooner or later, so I might as well just kill you today and get it over with!"

"Stop!" Joanna’s voice rang out clear and firm.

Everyone turned to the door.

Liam, who had been calm, immediately became angry and shouted at Clara, "You stupid girl! Are you crazy? Why did you tell her?!"

"Liam, you’re still putting up such a brave front? If I didn’t get Joanna here, Father would have killed you!"

Clara cried as she rushed over and hugged Geronimo’s arm.

"Father, Liam is my twin! Our lives are connected.If you really want to beat him, then beat me as well! If he dies, I can’t live either!"

"Clara, get up! Your brother doesn’t know any better, but you don’t have to follow his example! If you’re not careful, I might accidentally hit you with the whip!"

Liam was the most favored child in the family, but Clara, the youngest daughter, came after him.So, when Geronimo spoke to her, he unconsciously toned down a little.

"No! Either you stop hitting Liam, or you hit the both of us together!"

"Come! Take her away!"

Geronimo ordered his subordinates coldly.

Joanna walked up to Geronimo and said humbly, "It’s been a while, Uncle Geronimo.I think the one you’re really angry with isn’t Liam but me, the real culprit of this mess.So, as long as you forgive Liam, I’m willing to pay the price!"

"Oh? Did the sun rise from the west today? The redhead whose shoes my son has been licking has finally decided to show up?"

Geronimo hissed venomously as he studied Joanna from head to toe as though he was looking at a commodity.

Then, he sneered, "Are you really willing to pay any price to save this loser?"

Joanna nodded, her eyes determined.

"I’ve never gone against my words."

"Good.At least you still have some conscience."

There was a complicated look in Geronimo’s eyes when he looked at Joanna, and it was unclear if it was appreciation or contempt.

Then, he said in a vague tone, "You have quite a devastatingly beautiful face, I must say, to be able to charm my son to this extent..."Liam, who was still kneeling on the ground, furrowed his brows when he heard that.

"Boss, just ignore me and leave!" he pleaded emotionally.

"I’m my father’s favored child! No matter how angry he is, he won’t kill me.But if you fall into his hands, I don’t dare to imagine what kind of sick things he’d do to you with how rogue he is!"

Geronimo was known as a philanderer in their circle.

In addition to his seven children, he had many illegitimate children outside and countless affairs! How could Liam not know about his father’s cheating ways? It was natural for him to be concerned about Joanna because of that! Joanna, however, was calm.

She even smiled charmingly and said, "Sick things, huh? I’ve seen a lot of those, so what’s one more?"

She had heard about Geronimo’s affairs, but she believed the older man wouldn’t make such a pass at her.

"Shut up!"

Geronimo was furious at the conversation he heard between the two, especially his precious son, who he had spoiled from a young age.

Not only was he a lovesick idiot, but he was also stupid enough to think that Geronimo would be so lustful that he would go after any woman before him?! "My request is simple. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Since that loser son of mine has licked your shoes for so long and almost emptied the family’s coffers and even racked up a sizable debt, you can’t possibly expect you won’t have to repay.

Why don’t you marry him and work for him for the rest of your life to atone for your sins?"

This request came entirely out of expectation and it dumbfounded everyone.

Especially Laura.

She glared at Joanna and said disdainfully, "Dad, are you crazy? You want a divorced woman to marry Liam?!"

The Blackwood family’s eldest daughter, Yvonne, also shook her head and sighed.

"Dad, you should think twice.Liam can fool around with a divorced woman like her, but to really marry her into the family...It’d be a disaster!"

"Yeah! Even if she wasn’t divorced, she’s a Pierce and Schneider descendant! You know how difficult those families are! We’re no match for the Moran family, certainly not something we can handle!"

Geronimo ignored the nasty reactions and continued to look at Joanna.

"You should take a stand, hmm? You can’t enjoy all the benefits and refuse to give anything in return, right?"

Geronimo was not the only one waiting for Joanna’s answer.

Liam also held his breath and watched her closely.

Joanna, who was initially calm, was now in a panic.She knew very well that she had no feelings for Liam, and they had only broken up recently.

Whether she agreed or refused, both would be awkward.

"If this can really help relieve your anger, Uncle Geronimo, then I’ll happily agree to marry Liam.

That one was originally one of our plans for this year anyway."

Joanna eventually agreed to Geronimo’’s request with the greater good in mind, but the man ended up ridiculing her after she agreed.

"Hahah! You’re delusional!"

Geronimo sneered from the high horse he was on.

"What makes you think that the Blackwoods would want a low-quality item that someone else has swept out of their house? My loser son may be a lovesick idiot, but I’m not.

Not to mention, you don’t love my son at all! Even if you two really loved each other, I would never allow you to become my daughter-in-law!"

"The Morans have oppressed us at every turn.If I were to take a woman that the Morans rejected, my reputation would be in shambles! Even if you don’t have a brain and think with your toes, it’s impossible for that to ever happen!"
