Jovan held his hands out, looking remorseful. "Well, you know the rules of Moran Group..."
Joanna frowned and asked quickly, "What rules?"
"You’re close to Ace, so I’m surprised you don’t know this. There’s a rule in Moran Group stating that whoever takes over the company must be physically healthy and have full civil power. If not, a new leader will be selected from the legal heirs."
"So, you did all this to prove that he doesn’t have full civil power so you can replace him as the legal heir of the Moran Group?" Joanna sneered.
"No need to paint as a villain, Joanna, I’m just worried about my dear cousin’s health. As for whether I have to replace him as the head of Moran Group, it depends on the board of directors. I am just a pawn in their hands." Jovan shrugged casually, his eyes glinting.
"Yes, clearly you’re innocent in all this," Joanna scoffed sarcastically, infuriated by Jovan’s words.
On the contrary, Ace was very calm. He said expressionlessly, "That is indeed the rule of the Moran Group. As the current leader of the Moran Group, I have to set an example. If the board of directors makes a decision, I cannot say anything about it."
"How very open-minded of you." Jovan revealed a smug smile, delighted that his plan was falling into place.
At that mont, the eight mbers of the board of directors of Moran Group arrived with the dical investigation team.
So of the directors were Ace’s supporters, while so maintained a neutral stand.
However, all of them had only one goal in mind right now, and that was to confirm that
Ace was blind and had brain damage like the rumours said. If it was true, they would have to vote him out for the sake of Moran Group’s future regardless of whether they were
Ace’s supporters or not.
Undeniably, Jovan’s plan was working.
"Mr. Moran, thank goodness we finally found you." One of the directors, Leo Sanders, had always been loyal to Ace.
When he saw that Ace was safe and healthy, he burst into tears and said to the other directors, "I told you that the rumours were rubbish! Mr. Moran is just tired so he ca toGreenwood Sanatorium to relax for a while. He’s not blind or has brain damage. They’re just rumours!"
"How absurd! The people who spread rumours have gone too far. How could they curse Mr. Moran like that? He’s clearly fine and healthy. What is the PR departnt of Moran Group doing? They should have issued lawyer letters to those who spread the rumours!"
"Ah, it’s great that we found him. We can explain it to the shareholders at noon."
All the directors sighed in relief. They had all been hoping that the rumours were fake, because Moran Group could not survive without Ace. If sothing happened to him, the Moran Group would be ruined.
"Gentlen, please be quiet. Since you’re so worried about Mr. Moran’s condition, I think the professional dical investigation team should evaluate his health." Jovan waved his hand and said seriously.
"That’s right. Let’s ask the dical team to do an evaluation. " So of the other directors echoed Jovan’s words, and right away, dical staff in lab coats approached Ace with their equipnt.
As soon as she saw them, Joanna said fiercely, "Stop right there! Who dares to touch my man?!"
Joanna’s aura was so strong that the dical team imdiately froze. They didn’t dare to approach this woman who looked like a ferocious tigress protecting her cub.
"Er..." The mbers of the dical investigation team glanced at Ace, then turned to the directors helplessly.
"Hmph! What a pathetic woman!" Jovan looked at Joanna coldly. She had risked her life for Ace, and Jovan was so jealous that it almost drove him mad. He flashed her a sinister smile. "You claim that he’s your man, but why don’t you ask him if he is?"
He walked over to Joanna and leaned down to whisper in her ear, "You care so much about him, but he doesn’t even rember you. Clearly, you’re not that important to him. Don’t you find yourself pitiful?"
Joanna was at a loss for words. She pursed her lips, unable to deny it. Jovan knew her weakness, and was cruelly using it against her. ’He’s not wrong... Ace, you jerk! How can you rember everyone but ?’
When Jovan saw the pain in Joanna’s eyes, he stood tall in satisfaction. Finally, he said,
"This is a matter of the Moran family and Moran Group, so please don’t ddle in this. Currently, Moran Group doesn’t have a leader, so the board of directors needs to give the shareholders an explanation. I hope that you can cooperate, or else, things might turn nasty.
"I don’t care who you need to explain it to; none of you will lay a hand on him as long as I’m here! Try it if you dare!" Joanna clenched her fists and straightened her spine, glaring at the people around her defiantly.
Ace had worked so hard for so many years for Moran Group. He had put all his pride and energy into it, but now, he was being forced to give it to soone else.
Joanna couldn’t bear to let Jovan succeed!
"You stubborn woman!" Jovan hissed impatiently, then turned to the dical team. "Mr. Moran’s health is the priority here, go and check on him. After that, give us a report on his health. Just... leave this woman to ."
Before she could protest, Jovan walked up to Joanna and grabbed her slim waist. He smirked wickedly and murmured, "I’m sorry. I don’t want to fight you, but it seems like it’s inevitable. My n have full control of this sanatorium, and I’ve taught the dean and deputy dean a lesson because they didn’t give their cooperation. You’re smart, so I’m sure you don’t want to suffer like them, do you?"
"You scumbag! What did you do to Mr. and Mrs. Walker?" Joanna’s mind went blank and she could no longer think straight. She instinctively grabbed his arm to throw him over her shoulder, but she couldn’t because of her wrist injury. Jovan imdiately took this opportunity to tighten his hold on her.
"I told you... You shouldn’t attempt the impossible." Jovan held Joanna in his arms and whispered cruelly.
"Let go of !"
