"An inferior organization like Carmine Pawnshop is now stepping on us.
They just want to ruin us and let Stellar Group take the top spot! If we take things slow now, it may cause Moran group to suffer a great loss!" "Mr. Moran, you’re always wise, bold, and decisive.
Why are you suddenly being so generous? Is the Night Demon holding sothing against you?’ One shareholder sneered, but Ace was unfazed.
One of the shareholders said carefully, "Or rather, are you trying not to offend Miss Pierce? Even if you’re wrongly accused, you won’t fight back because you want to look good in her eyes... is that it?" Ace shot the shareholder a cold glare.
"None of you can comnt on my decision.Who’s the president here?" Everyone went silent, and lowered their heads in sha.
No one dared to say anything.
anwhile, Elijah heaved a sigh and walked out of the conference room.
He went over to Joanna and smiled apologetically.
"I’m sorry, Mrs. Moran, but the president is very busy at the mont.
He said that you can smash the building if you like.
You may stop after you’ve vented your anger." Joanna’s jaw dropped in shock, then anger filled her.
’Oh, that scoundrel is asking for it! Is he trying to piss off even more?!’ "So, he thinks I wouldn’t dare do anything to his precious Moran group, huh? Fine then, I’ll let him witness firsthand what I’m capable of!" After that, she stord off towards his office.
’I’ll start with his office, and only stop once he cos out!" Elijah followed her and said considerately, "Take your ti, and don’t hurt yourself.
Do you need tools like a hamr or an axe? I can ask the staff to get it for you." "Do you have a death wish, Elijah?" Joanna beca even more angry, and her rage convinced her that she had to accept Ace’s challenge.
She burst into Ace’s large and opulent office, and looked around viciously.
He had many expensive decorations, and most of the ornants there would easily cost thousands.
After a while, she finally decided on a plant pot that looked cheap.
She raised it high and growled threateningly to Elijah, "I’ll break it... I an it." Elijah folded his arms over his chest and nodded calmly.
"Do whatever that pleases you." "Forget it, this Epipremnum aureum shouldn’t suffer because of that scumbag. I’ll let it off the hook for now," Joanna mumbled as she put the plant down and stared at Ace’s desk.
A computer, ashtray, and folders... What a boring man.
Making up her mind, she picked the ashtray up.
"I’m sure this isn’t cheap.I’ll start with this!’ "Umm... you can’t smash that, Mrs. Moran.’ Elijah stopped her.
"Did you forget? You bought this for Mr. Moran. It’s been so many years, but he’s still using it.He’s rather fond of it, so if you break it, he’s going to be mad." "Is that so? I’ll destroy this then!" Joanna hurled the delicate crystal ashtray at the floor, and it instantly shattered into pieces.
Ace had been using it for almost eight years, and now, it was nothing but dust
Fueled by her victory, Joanna happily went around breaking all the things she had bought for Ace.
After all, it should be fine since she was the one who had bought them.
"Now you’re done for, Mrs. Moran.
You broke all his favourite things, and I bet he’s going to be furious. Why don’t you run away now? I fear the consequences might be dire." "He’ll be furious?" Joanna finally stopped, breathing hard.
Grinning wickedly at Elijah, she said, "Well, that’s exactly what I’m hoping for.
He started it, so it’s only right that I end it." Joanna looked around Ace’s office and pursed her lips contemplatively.’ Ugh, I can’t believe I bought so many things for that ungrateful turd.
I’m so tired that I can’t even break them all.’ Finally, her gaze landed on the coffee machine she bought him, and she walked over it.
Just as she lifted it up, Ace strode into the room.
He grabbed her wrist and sneered, "Are you done making a scene?" "Well, well... Master Moran finally joined the party.
I’ll stop then." Joanna put the coffee machine down and smiled sweetly at him.
When Ace saw the broken things all over the floor, his eyes blazed in rage.
He glared at Elijah and snarled, "Did dusa here turn you to stone? You just stood here and enjoyed the show?" Elijah imdiately lowered his head and muttered reluctantly, "Mr. Moran, you were the one who said she could break things, right?" "I did say that but you know my limits! She smashed all the things Seraphina bought .
I cherished those things, and you let her break them! " Ace was clenching his fists, his face turning red in anger.
"I... I..." Elijah stamred.
He did not know how to explain that, so he glanced at Joanna for help.
After Ace had brain surgery, all his mories with Joanna sohow turned into mories with Seraphina.
Nobody dared to correct him because his head would hurt when he tried to recall the past, and they didn’t want him to lose his mory entirely.
Hence, everyone knew that Ace had mistaken Seraphina for Joanna, but they avoided the topic and just played along.
Even Joanna, the person involved, didn’t correct him.
She let him mistake Seraphina for her.
"Yeah, I smashed the gifts Miss Seraphina bought for you. Ask the police to arrest if you’re so angry about it." Joanna crossed her arms and said arrogantly.
Ace held her jaw and glared at her.
"Do you think I’m so kind that I wouldn’t do anything to you?" "Mr. Moran, you’ve got all wrong.
Of course, I don’t think you’re a kind man.
If you were, you wouldn’t have fooled again and again.
You even secretly moved Taylor sowhere else without telling .
I’m only returning the favour... Wouldn’t want you to get bored now, would we?" Joanna looked at the broken things on the floor and faked a smile as she said teasingly, "Hmm, Miss Murphy certainly has an... interesting taste in things.
An ashtray, a pencil holder, a coffee machine, a cushion... what cheap things she gave you.
Is the Master Moran who’s worth billions so easily won over?’ Elijah covered his face and stifled a groan, his lips twitching.
’Mrs. Moran is willingly throwing herself under the bus in the na of pettiness.’ "What the hell do you know?" Ace hissed, his grip around her jaw tightening as he said icily, "The things that Seraphina bought were exactly what I needed.
I used them daily, and every ti I did, I would think about her and love her even more... A materialistic woman like you would never understand that kind of simple love." Elijah could no longer bear to listen to their argunt, and carefully said to Ace, "Mr. Moran, is it possible that you’re mistaken? Maybe it was Miss Pierce who bought so of these things for you?"
