The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 587

"Great! Quinton, you’re the best." Joanna heaved a sigh of relief and gave Quinton a bear hug.

Clara chimed in curiously, "Joan, where are you going with Liam? It sounds so mysterious. I want to go too!"

Liam stuffed a drumstick into Clara’s mouth and said irritatedly, "You’re just a kid. Stop meddling in the adults’ business. Eat more and grow up."

Clara’s eyes bulged in anger, and she removed the drumstick from her mouth angrily. She glared at Liam and snapped, "Liam, I’m only a few minutes younger than you. Stop acting like a kid!"

Liam could not help laughing and said cheekily, "The only child I see here is you!"

The others burst into laughter as Clara hurled the chicken drumstick at Liam, missing him entirely.

Clara became angrier. "Help me settle this, since we’re three pairs of twins with mixed

genders. Why are Joan and Abby’s elder brothers so warm but my brother so mean? He always bullies me!"

Liam explained, "That just means you should reflect on yourself."

The others laughed again, and Clara narrowed her eyes at her smug brother.

"Oh, I got it!" Clara’s eyes widened as something dawned on her, and she turned to Liam suspiciously. "Did you get back together with Joan? Are you guys secretly going on a honeymoon?"

Liam became a little awkward. "Umm, this..."

"Yeah, we’re going on a honeymoon. Give us your blessing," Joanna said jokingly.

"Great! You have my full approval." Quinton clapped and gave them his full support.

After the lively dinner, both Joanna and Liam went to the airport in casual clothes. The destination was a rather strange place, so there were not many people headed there. When they boarded the plane, they were the only ones in business class.

Joanna felt rather relaxed, and either read a magazine or drank coffee during the flight.

However, Liam was behaving oddly. He was usually quite talkative, but after boarding the plane, he was strangely quiet.

"Liam, are you alright? I feel like something’s weighing on your mind." Joanna waved her hand in front of him and asked curiously.

"I’m wondering if I’m making the right decision. By agreeing to do this, I might be harming you instead of helping you..." Liam admitted with a sigh.

"What are you talking about? Aren’t you exaggerating?" Joanna said amusedly.

"Boss, you don’t know what I’ve experienced, so you don’t know what’s to come."

"It’s not that scary. Take it easy." Joanna patted his shoulders and raised her brows slightly,

saying, "You know where I came from. We’ve seen a lot of the world, and I’m sure I can handle it."

"But you told me that you promised the old man never to be a part of this circle. If you get in touch with these people again, your identity may be exposed. I’m afraid it’ll bring a lot of trouble..." Liam said remorsefully.

’Finally, her life is peaceful. She’d long left this chaotic circle, but somehow, she’s back in this mess again.’

Joanna smiled helplessly. "Maybe it’s meant to be. I have to do this, for Quinton’s sake.

The plane touched down at Goldshire the next morning. A long row of cars waited at the exit ostentatiously, as if they were welcoming a diplomat.

"Liam!" A man in sunglasses and a floral shirt waved at Liam from afar. He even held a toothpick between his teeth, which was visible with his wide grin. His skin was tanned, and he was thin and tall. There were two dragons tattooed on his arms, and it was clear that he wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

"Matt!" Liam waved back heartily, and whispered to Joanna, "That’s Mateo Harrison, the subordinate my master values the most. He’s cruel and fierce, so everyone in this city is afraid of him. If you want to win my master’s trust, you have to win Matt over first."

While he was talking, Mateo walked over to Liam. Mateo hugged Liam enthusiastically, smacking the latter’s back playfully. ’Kiddo, you’re back! Looks like you still have a heart,eh? Master always talks about you, so he’s going to be so happy you’re back."

"Of course! Master is like a father to me, after all, so I have to come back and see him."

Liam said to Mateo with a smile.

"Pfft!" Joanna stifled her laughter as she recalled how anxious Liam had been ten minutes earlier. Now, he looked like he was returning to a beloved hometown-he really was skilled at acting!

Joanna’s laughter caught Mateo’s attention, and he frowned in displeasure. He glared at her fiercely, sizing her up as if he wanted to teach her a lesson. "Who is this woman? Was she laughing at me?"

"This is the woman I always talked about. She’s Joanna Pierce, my beloved goddess.

She’s now my girlfriend. I brought her here for you, Master, and Joanne to see..." Liam said and held Joanna’s shoulders affectionately. ’She laughed because she was happy, not because she was laughing at you."

Mateo was still unconvinced, and narrowed his eyes at Joanna suspiciously. "Is that so?"

"Umm... Yes." Joanna did not want to create trouble, so she just nodded.

"You know that Master doesn’t like to meet irrelevant people. It’s fine if she’s your girlfriend,but if she’s here with ulterior motives, there’s gonna be trouble for her... and for you," Mateo warned menacingly.

"Yes, I know."

"Let’s go. Master’s ordered a huge feast to be served. He’s eager to meet his disciple!"

Both Joanna and Liam arrived at a fort belonging to Benjamin Jenkins, Liam’s master, under Mateo’s lead. The fort was far from the city center, and was protected by armed guards and strict security procedures. Hence, a lot of people addressed Benjamin as Draco,symbolising that he was the king there that nobody dared to offend.

The car stopped before the fort, and the armed guards frisked Joanna and Liam before allowing them to enter the fort.

A butterfly knife that Joanna had brought with her had been confiscated. It meant that she would have no chance to fight back if she had a conflict with them.

She was at their mercy.

As they walked into the rainforest-like fort, the villagers there eyed them coldly. It made Joanna feel like they had entered a cannibal village.

Joanna anxiously swallowed. She finally understood why Liam had been so worried.

Liam could sense her anxiety, and reassuringly nudged her shoulders."Boss, there’s no need to be so nervous. You have me!"
