The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 291 - 288

Both of them were shocked to see each other.

Joanna had conflicting emotions regarding her ex-mother-in-law. On the one hand, Joanna hated her, and on the other hand, Joanna sympathized with her for having lost two sons in a row.

But Susan also had conflicting emotions regarding her former daughter- in-law.

From her initial dislike and disgust of Joanna, to appreciation, and later on, to hatred – it was enough to write a novel that was millions of words in length!

"Good evening, Ms. Moran."

Joanna swallowed awkwardly and greeted Susan, "Fancy... running into you here."

"Someone told me the light in my son’s room was turned on so I rushed over to check, but turns out it’s just you..."

Susan’s eyes were filled with both hatred and sadness, which gradually turned into gloom. She lowered her head and said, "Sure enough, there are no miracles in this world."

Joanna was a mother too, so her chest tightened hearing that. She comforted Susan softly, "My condolences. Don’t be too sad."

"I don’t need your condolences!"

Susan, who was originally quite calm, suddenly grabbed Joanna’s arm with bloodshot eyes and said emotionally, "You know my son’s not dead. He’s excellent and perfect; there’s no way he would die so easily!"

’Tell me honestly, are you and Ace hiding something from me? He’s not dead, is he? He’s just hiding somewhere to plot something big. He doesn’t want anyone to know where he is because he’s worried that it might mess up his plan, so he keeps his whereabouts a secret."

"But you’re different. You’re the woman he cares about the most. Although he pretended not to care about you for the past four years, I’m his mother, so I know he never got over you. He lost control the moment he found out that you’re back. He definitely wouldn’t lie to you... Tell me, where is Ace?"

Susan gripped Joanna’s arm so tightly that it hurt, but Joanna could not bear to push away a grieving mother who was on the verge of mental breakdown. She could only explain helplessly, "Ms. Hunt, you got it all wrong. I’m just an insignificant old acquaintance to Ace. If he really is plotting something big, he wouldn’t tell me. If I were you, I would interrogate Alice instead. She’s his true love."

"Says who? You used to be married to Ace. Based on your understanding of him, do you really think he would fall in love with a woman like Alice?"

"Why not? Alice’s a poor, helpless girl. She’s like a modern day Snow White. A slight frown from her is enough to shatter your son’s heart and make him lose the ability to distinguish right and wrong. He would do anything for her. How is that not true love?"

"Your power of imagination is incredible. You should have become a screenwriter."

Susan was dumbstruck. She looked at Joanna like she was looking at a fool.

She thought that, because Joanna was such a smart woman, she must have known what Ace was truly thinking, but it turned out she was just guessing wildly!

"Ace might as well be a block of wood in matters of the heart. He doesn’t know how to express his feelings at all. Even if he tries to, people often misunderstand what he means. I’ll tell you honestly.

Even after all these years, he has never gotten over you, but he’s an arrogant man so he doesn’t want to admit that, so he acts as if he doesn’t care about you at all. In the end, the only one who gets hurt is himself..."

Susan now had a painful look on her face. ’That fool. Maybe he himself doesn’t realize that he’s long fallen in love with you."

Joanna smiled wryly and said, "What’s the point of saying these things now? He won’t come back to life. Do you want me to die for him?"

’What I’m trying to say is, he’s definitely still alive. The story between you isn’t over yet, so he definitely won’t let himself die..."

"So?"

"So he must have left clues for you. You just haven’t noticed yet!"

"Clues?"

Joanna frowned as if she had suddenly recalled something!

Upon seeing Joanna’s reaction, Susan’s eyes brightened. She excitedly pulled Joanna’s hand and asked, "Did you think of something? Tell me, quick!"

"I knew my son wouldn’t die so easily. I knew he left clues for you!"

Joanna shook her head. Her helpless expression seemed sincere. "He didn’t leave me any clues, but if even you, his mother, can’t be sure if he’s dead, then I’m even more uncertain... At least, so far, I’ve only learned about his death from other people."

"Since you’ve already chosen a grave for him, surely you must know where his corpse is?"

Susan’s bloodshot eyes were sad as she said, "Ace’s father said he had an accident and had died in the hospital. Apparently, the way he died was horrible. His father was worried that I might not be able to take it if I saw him, so he was cremated overnight. We chose the grave together, but I still don’t believe that he’s dead. I think they must be planning something in secret, so I turned a blind eye and went along with their acting..."

"But now, the Moran Group is in chaos, and I heard lots of rumors slandering my son. The most terrifying thing is that the Moran Group will be taken away by a useless relative tomorrow. The company is the result of generations of hard work, especially by Ace. He sacrificed so much for the Moran Group. If he’s still alive, he wouldn’t just watch as something he values gets taken away."

At that moment, Jovan slowly walked out of the room and stood in the center of the rotating staircase with his hands in his pockets. He looked down at Joanna and Susan like a king.

"Useless relative?"

The man’s lips curled into a mocking sneer, "After all these years, your words are still so sharp, Auntie Susan. They hurt me so."

"Jovan?"

Susan immediately put away her sadness and put on a cold and proud expression. She yelled, "This is my son’s house. What are you doing here? You’re an illegitimate son of unknown origin. You’re trash. You don’t deserve to be here. SCRAM!"

Joanna was shocked when she heard that.

Tsk tsk, her ex-mother-in-law sure had a toxic mouth. She had no filter at all.

She wondered if Jovan would assassinate Susan the next day. After all, Jovan could get really reckless when he was crazy!

Joanna thought Jovan would instantly lose his temper when he heard those insulting words, but he did not react at all. His smile even deepened.

As an illegitimate child who grew up in the Moran family, he was probably immune to these insults by now.

"Calm down, Auntie Susan. The one who should scram is you because starting from tomorrow, everything your son once owned will become mine..."

As Jovan spoke, he walked downstairs. His towering and superior figure bore a little resemblance to Ace.

He walked upto Susan with a sinister smile and arrogantly declared his ownership. ’Not only will this villa belong to me, even his former wife will be mine... If you cant stand it, you’re welcome to join him in hell!"

"In your dreams’"

Susan’s patience has reached its limit. She swung her hand and slapped him.

Unfortunately, Jovan, who had always obediently received the insults and beatings hurled at him, was different now. He grabbed her wrist and warned her, "Susan Moran, I advise you to accept reality. Both your sons are dead. Your era is over. The Moran family will soon belong to me and my descendants. You think I’d still suffer your insults?"

He put a decent amount of strength into his grip. Susan seemed to be in pain and tried to break free. She cursed, ’Let me go, you little bastard.

You’re just like your slut of a mother who sleeps around with men. You’re an ambitious lot but you’ll never succeed! You... Aah!"

"Don’t you dare insult my mother!"

Jovan’s eyes were cold. He put more strength into his long fingers and cruelly bent Susan’s wrist.

Susan had been living a privileged life her whole life. She had never suffered this kind of treatment before. Her face twisted from the pain.
