Joanna was clearly hinting at sothing. Seraphina wasn’t stupid, so she saw what Joanna was implying right away.
"I know things were difficult when you and Ace split. You had been banished from the Moran family and had nowhere to go." Seraphina let down her guard and sympathized with Joanna.
"When it cos to vying for Ace’s heart, no one can beat that lady. She managed to persuade Ace to defend her with only her innocent expression. It made furious to watch him pamper her like a baby!" Seraphina felt enraged as she talked, and she couldn’t help but smack the steering wheel angrily.
Briar was, without a doubt, the lady she was referring to. Joanna’s previous life had been a living nightmare because of her!
"It’s pointless to be angry. Your closest buddy likes ladies that seem naive. Instead of battling , learn her thods and appear to be fragile and weak. It would be ideal if you could discover a way to get pregnant with his kid since he would then have no option but to marry you..." Joanna seed to be genuinely instructing Seraphina on how to pursue Ace based on her own experience.
Seraphina scowled and looked at her suspiciously when she heard this.
Joanna rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Why are you looking at like that? This is all real-life experience, and it will co in handy when dealing with a moron like Ace. If you don’t believe , try it for yourself!"
"Are you really that uninterested in Ace that you’re instructing how to pursue him?"
"Oh, certainly," Joanna said and shook her head. "If I still had feelings for him, you wouldn’t stand a chance against ."
Seraphina, in her opinion, was much superior to Briar. Although she was arrogant and domineering, she was open about it and wouldn’t do anything behind her back.
And it was for this reason that she wished Seraphina would win.
"Alright. This ti, I’ll believe you. I’ll deal with Briar first!" Seraphina’s eyes blazed as she said. She decided to temporarily shift her focus to Briar, and would deal with Joanna later.
Joanna returned to Stellar Group to finish up so work after finally dealing with Seraphina. Now that she no longer had the Rainbow Glaze, she needed to devise a plan to reclaim control of the land from Rubio.
She was seated in front of her workstation, urgently searching for information, when Rubio phoned.
"Joanna, my old buddy, do you intend to call it quits on our friendship?" Rubio’s voice was as cunning as always.
Hearing this, Joanna secretly rolled her eyes and replied in the sa pretentious tone as him, "No way, I’m just trying to think of a way to calm you down. You know, I have black circles under my eyes from the nights I spent thinking of a solution. Why don’t you grant my request for a change? After all, the Pascal family has a lot of property."
Rubio chuckled again and continued, "I also feel like I’m being a bit harsh, but there’s nothing I can do about it. The land does not belong to ."
"What?"
Joanna was a bit taken aback. She had done extensive research and had discovered that the property was owned by Rubio.
However, according to him, it belonged to soone else.
"Since the boss’ identity is unique, he is unable to seize control of the property using his own na. Fortunately, the Pascal family has the financial ans to purchase the property, so I helped him with it. On the surface, it seems that I am in command of the land, but I do not make the decisions. Additionally, it wasn’t that wanted the Rainbow Glaze, but him."
Rubio purposely reminded her, "I’m warning you now – we can’t afford to offend the boss. Don’t try and do anything under his watch."
"I want to et the person who can make you call them ’boss.’ I’m not concerned about regaining ownership of the land, I just want to et him," she said excitedly. She was like a lively child eager to start a new ga.
She wasn’t really pleased to see Rubio since she felt he was rather plain. However, now that she knew there was soone more powerful than Rubio, her curiosity had been piqued.
"Sure. As a buddy, I’ll assist you... I’ve already arranged a dinner for you and the boss," he said after a little pause. "It’s up to you if you can win him over or not."
"Thank you very much, Rubio." Rubio had purposefully made things tough for her because of the boss’s orders, she knew. She would try her best to get the property as soon as possible to et Abby’s living requirents.
Joanna hadn’t yet returned ho, so Adie and Abby stood at the door once again, waiting for her.
"Adie, Mommy hasn’t co ho today, and I’m having trouble contacting Daddy Q. Might they have gone on a date?" Abby gazed up at Adie curiously.
Mr. Q would normally be at ho at this hour, having prepared food for them. However, he had not returned ho for the entire day, and they had been unable to contact him.
Abby was unaccustod to this. She missed Joanna and Mr. Q.
"I don’t think it’s possible..." Adie cupped his chin and said seriously, "It’s normal for Mommy to work till late at night. If Mr. Q was with Mommy, he would’ve taken a picture and sent it to us to show off. He’s so quiet now which could only an..."
"Could only an what?" Abby asked eagerly.
"He’s probably lazy. He didn’t want to cook for us anymore, so he turned off his phone so we couldn’t bother him."
"That sounds possible. So, I guess we shouldn’t trouble him tonight and let him rest," Abby said thoughtfully.
Mr. Q had been looking after them for the past few days, so it was reasonable that he needed to rest.
"I believe he should rest too. We’ll be at a loss if he gets sick from being too fatigued," Adie reasoned.
The doorbell rang unexpectedly while the two of them were debating it
