The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 608

Ace glared at Elijah and demanded, "What do you mean? Why would she buy me things?" "Well, it was Miss Pierce who bought these...’ "Ahem, ahem!" Seeing that Elijah was about to let the cat out of the bag, she immediately interrupted him.

She then looked at Ace and said quickly, "Mr. Moran, you’re very smart.You know I wouldn’t buy you something unless I had an ulterior motive." "Hmph, you know yourself well," he scoffed in disdain.

When he looked at the mess all over the floor, he said icily, "Buy me these things again, and I’ll let you off the hook." That was his final compromise.

If he had not lost control and wronged her the night before, he would never have forgiven her this easily.

"Fine, I’ll buy them for you.These aren’t expensive, after all, so I can easily afford them,’ Joanna sneered.

After all, she was the one who gave him those things, so it was easy for her to buy them again.

"But Master Moran, you should also do something to quell my anger, right?" Ace narrowed his eyes.

"Although you have no right to negotiate, I’ll give you a chance to tell me what you want since you did something to make me happy." "It’s very simple... just tell me where you moved Taylor to.

You know she’s very important to me, and you promised to tell me the things that happened between Taylor and my brother.

Don’t break your promise." "Taylor is now recuperating at Holy Hospital, which has top-notch facilities that should help her recover faster.

As for what happened between your brother and Taylor...’ Ace glanced at Elijah and ordered," Leave." "Okay, Mr. Moran." Elijah nodded and retreated.

Now, Joanna and Ace were the only ones left in the office.

Ace glanced at the office chair that was full of glass shards and frowned.

Joanna realized the issue and immediately went forward to clean the glass shards.

She then said to Ace flatteringly, "Mr. Moran, please sit.’ Ace’s frown deepened, and he looked at her hand in concern.

’Is your hand all right?" "I’m fine.It’s just a bit of glass, it can’t do anything to me.

Let’s get to the point." Joanna looked at Ace, eager to learn the truth.

Ace shook his head, his gaze complicated.

"I can tell you the truth, but I’m not sure if you can handle it." "Don’t beat around the bush.Hurry up!" Joanna’s patience was wearing thin, so she smacked the table and urged him.

’Damn it, if this guy delays again, I’m going to lose my mind.Forget about breaking his coffee machine, I might just break his head!’

Ace knew that he could no longer keep the incident a secret.

He stared at Joanna, his gaze contemplative.

’What do you think of Quinton?" He asked finally.

Joanna thought about it for a while, then said objectively, "I know that Quinton did a lot of crazy things. He isn’t a good guy, but he’s not an evil villain either.

He usually made extreme choices because he was forced to- he just wanted to survive.

Carmine Pawnshop only made it because they had to resort to a lot of illegal things, but these were usually done in the open sea which was under no one’s jurisdiction.

Hence, the police couldn’t do anything about it." "Well, you certainly know how to find excuses for him.

I suppose that since you can empathise with a villain, you’re probably hiding your own dark side, " Ace said with a smirk, raising an eyebrow lazily.

Joanna was speechless for a while, then sneered, "Yes, my brother and I are villains with dark sides, but you’re not so good yourself either, Mr. Moran.

You tricked a woman to get what you want and win, so you obviously have a dark side too." "You think I tricked and fooled Taylor? She says I saved her." "Saved her?" Joanna scoffed incredulously and rolled her eyes.

"Do you know how close my brother and Taylor were? They grew up together and were like siblings, and my brother adored her greatly.If you didn’t appear, she would be happy." "A good relationship? Siblings?" Ace shook his head as if he was mocking Joanna’s naivety and ignorance.

"I can only say that the Night Demon is very good at acting... Clearly, you haven’t seen his dark side yet." Joanna bit her lip anxiously.

Something inside her was saying that she had found the key to the whole story.

She wanted to save Quinton, so she quietly said," That’s why I’m asking you now... Tell me about my brother’s dark side." Ace tilted his head slightly as he observed her.

He let out a soft sigh and explained, "Your brother did treat Taylor well, in fact, one could say that he would have given his life for her.

However, his relationship with her had long surpassed a normal sibling relationship... it became a pathological possessiveness.

As a result, Taylor led a very oppressed and painful life.

When she met me, she had tried to run away several times, but that crazy Quinton would always catch her and take her back, using various ways to tame and punish her..." Ace trailed off and went silent. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

He didn’t tell Joanna the details because he wanted her to process this information slowly.

However, despite his restraint, she still looked shocked.

"What did you say? A... pathological possessiveness?" Joanna shook her head in disbelief, her eyes wide.

"How is that possible? Quinton treated Taylor well, just like how he treats me! They supported each other since they were kids, and were like a ray of hope for each other.

Maybe they were a bit too close, but it couldn’t have been like that.

Your twisted mind must have misinterpreted it." "Don’t ask for the truth if you can’t handle it." Ace adjusted his tie and frowned slightly.

"I didn’t want to tell you this either but you pestered me repeatedly about it.

You wanted to get to the bottom of this.

If you can’t take it, then just give up and walk away.
