The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 278 - 275

"My condition is unique?" "Yes, but please don’t get mad at me for saying this."

Joanna took the risk of offending him by pointing to the mask on his face. "I heard your face was badly damaged in the fight with Master Moran, and you’ve been wearing a mask ever since. You’ve even sworn to kill anybody who has seen your face. I know it may be difficult since you are afraid of frightening people and being repulsive. But when you’re on that island, all those worries will be things of the past because you can take off your mask whenever you want. Nobody will be afraid of you, nor will they dislike you. Doesn’t the island suit you completely?"

Mr. Q was at a loss for words when he heard this.

When Joanna saw his confused feelings, she said, "You’re enemies with Ace, and so am I." Because we are fighting the same adversary, I believe you should back me up. I need the money to fight Moran Group."

"Who are you to do that?"

Mr. Q had clearly not taken her remarks seriously.

"We’ll just have to wait and see. I wouldn’t have been able to tell you I’d repurchase the island if I didn’t believe I could defeat Ace."

Joanna had everything planned out, else she would not have taken such a choice today.

"Do you hate Ace?" he inquired.

She shrugged as she was taken aback by the inquiry. "I used to despise him, but not anymore. After all..."

She intended to explain that she had let go of all her grudges against him after he died rescuing her, but she stopped herself when she realized that the Moran family had yet to disclose Ace’s death to the public.

However, there had previously been rumors about it, so she assumed Mr. Q was aware of it as well.

"There is word that Ace is dead. It’s excellent that you’ve let go of your animosity towards him. Fighting with the dead, after all, is pointless."

He hesitated for a while before saying, "I can buy your island, but whether it’s worth 1.5 billion, I’ll have to be the judge of that.’

She paused for a while before nodding and consenting. "Sure!"

After all, she was on her way to pick up Abby and Nancy.

"Let’s make some plans and get going," Mr. Q replied quietly.

"Are we leaving right now?" She suspected that something was amiss with the agreement’s seamless execution.

’Why? Do you agree?"

"No. I simply didn’t expect things to go that swiftly and smoothly."

In the expectation that it would be way more difficult to convince Mr. Q, she requested Clara’s assistance to care for Adie for another half-month.

"Didn’t you say you needed money? Isn’t it better if we get things done quickly?"

’Yes. That is true!"

Joanna nodded appreciatively. She was on the verge of dropping down to her knees and thanking him.

’Whoever nicknamed Mr. Q as Night Demon was obviously lying. He’s a deity who gives me hope!" she thought joyfully.

She began to wonder whether the price of 1.5 billion was too low since Mr. Q agreed to it so soon.

It left her at a loss, having a strange urge to make up for the money she might’ve lost.

Then she feigned to be perplexed by the Snow Before the Shepherd Boy. "Is this the well-known painting by Dost Wurst? Is it genuine or a forgery?"

"Do you think I’ll hang a fake painting on my wall?"

"Wow, that’s incredible! My father used to enjoy Dost Wurst, and I’ve been seeking this piece for a long time..."

"If you like it, I’ll ask Chase to wrap it up for you.

"Wrap it up for me?"

Joanna was taken aback and perplexed.

"You don’t like it?" Mr. Q questioned, turning to face her.

"No. I really do!"

She returned her gaze to the picture and said, "Isn’t it a little inappropriate that you give me such an expensive painting?"

Although she had been hinting at him to give it to her, she never expected him to be so casual about it!

"I don’t see what the problem is if you like it. It’s just a piece of art. There are a lot of paintings in the pawn shop," he said casually.

"Thank you!"

She quickly bowed and thanked him. At this moment, she thought even his face mask was charming.

Money was, indeed, the most powerful force in the world.

She was suddenly reminded of the elderly man’s forecast that said, ’As lofty as the mountain, as boundless as the sea. An unrivaled pair, their union shall stand through eternity.’

’Is it possible that Mr. Q is the one I’ll marry? If he were, it would be absurd considering he is Ace’s arch-adversary. If Ace finds out, he’d definitely haunt me in my nightmares, she reasoned to herself.

"What exactly are you thinking about?"

Joanna had been so preoccupied with her thoughts that she hadn’t realized Mr. Q had been watching her for quite some time.

Her exaggerated expression piqued his interest in what she was thinking.

"Nothing!" Joanna shook her head instantly. "Can I ask you something?" she ventured cautiously after a period of silence.

’What?"

"Are you seeing anyone right now? Do you have a spouse? Do you have any kids?"

Joanna wasn’t one to gossip, but she was intrigued by Mr. Q’s want to assist her. She wondered whether he had ever had feelings for her. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

After all, such was the case for Jovan, so she wanted to know whether Mr. Q was the guy she was supposed to marry.

Mr. Q was surprised when he heard her inquiry and said coldly, "I’m not seeing anyone and I’m not married. I guess I don’t have any children either."

"Is that so?"

Joanna’s expression got more complicated.

’He’s wealthy and unmarried; if he already has someone he likes, he wouldn’t be a bachelor! Am I really the one for him?’ She was perplexed and thought to herself.

"You are wealthy and have all the good qualities. Why didn’t you find a girlfriend? Is it because you already have a crush on someone?" She persisted with her questions, hoping to get more information from him.

"What are you trying to say?" the guy questioned, his face expressionless.

As she peered into his eyes, she pulled in a big breath and decided she didn’t want to beat about the bushes any longer. "Tell me, honestly, do you have a crush on me?"

When Mr. Q heard this, he was dumbfounded.

"You found my son and lied to him about wanting to be my subordinate because you want to be near me, right? Everyone says you’re a Night Demon who kills without hesitation, yet you were so generous to offer me 1.5 billion dollars and the artwork. You went through all that trouble hoping to make me like you. The odd aspect is that you could be enemies with anybody in the City, yet you choose to be enemies with Ace. You must be envious of him since he married me!" Joanna conducted an analysis.

She wasn’t a narcissist, but after the experience with Javon, she got the feeling that anything might happen. She also had to acknowledge she was indeed extremely gorgeous.
