The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 269 - 266

In Joanna’s opinion, the male escort wasn’t too shabby. He was not only handsome, but he also had a fine figure with good muscles. He was also understanding and was fine with her being intelligent and beautiful. When she was less busy, she would consider this again.

Apart from him, Jovan was also quite good-looking. If she had the time, she would tease him again. It should be fun.

Julian wasn’t too bad either, and she could call him into her hacking team. Haze was even more capable. She still needed to get the time and ask him to teach her binary coding.

Joanna picked up a slice of bread and took a bite, chewing as she decided.

’What’s so irreplaceable about him? He’s just a dead old tree now. The world is big, and there are plenty of men out there, just as varied as the types of food laid before me. I should take my time and try them out slowly. I will eventually find the right one that suits me!’

Only, as Joanna continued to chew, her expression turned ugly.

Damn... The bread that the City’s famous chef made was so hard! She could barely chew through it! It felt like her teeth were about to break!

"Does the bread taste good, Mommy?" Aiden asked with an innocent look, his chubby face resting on his palms.

"A-ahem. l-it’s okay."

Joanna, not wanting to hurt her son, forced herself to finish the bread in her hand.

Next, she picked up a slice of bacon...

Seriously? It tasted like it had been dunked in salt! It almost choked her to death!

Joanna reached for her glass of water and gulped the entire glass down.

"How was the bacon, Mommy?" Aiden continued to ask innocently.

"l-it’s not too bad either, but I feel thirsty after eating it," Joanna said.

It felt like she had taken part in the worst cooking competition in the world. She could barely swallow any of the food!

"Are you full, Mommy? What do you think of this chef’s cooking?" Aiden asked with great anticipation.

"I’m done. I rate it ten points."

"Wow! That’s great! A perfect score!"

Aiden couldn’t help but cheer silently for Q.

However, Joanna took a deep breath and said hoarsely, "Full score is one hundred points."

"What?"

"Adie, I don’t know where you found this chef. I accept your lovely thoughts, but can you help me tell this chef that though his food looks good, can he not cook again? I’m afraid I can’t resist flattening his face if he does!"

Joanna wanted to pretend that it was good till the end, but this celebrity chef in the City was too "powerful." The appearance of the food was beautiful and mouth-watering, but a single bite would

cause nightmares for years!

She couldn’t help but want to throw up!

Aiden carefully picked up some scrambled eggs and tasted them, and he immediately gagged and spat them out. ’Oh my god! This is so salty! Ew!" How could the food Q made be so inedible?! How was he supposed to take care of his mother in the future and make sure she had enough to eat?

No. Adie needed Q to improve his cooking as soon as possible.

"The cooking skills of this chef may need some improvement. I’ll ask him to improve, and it’s going to be delicious, and it’ll suit your taste next time, okay?" Aiden assured Joanna with a pat on the back.

"There’s going to be a next time?"

Joanna wanted to die when she heard that and said with a bitter smile, "It’s not necessary, right?"

"No! You need to give him another chance!"

Once Aiden had pacified Joanna enough, he slipped out of the room, pulled out his walkie-talkie, and called Mr. Q

"Emergency! Emergency! Calling Q! Calling Q!" Aiden had just called out on the walkie-talkie when Mr. Q responded immediately as if he had been waiting there all along.

"Q speaking! Q speaking!" The man asked confidently, "Have you had breakfast? Have my superb cooking skills amazed you?"

"What are you talking about? It wasn’t amazing. It was terrifying! Mommy almost called the police after eating your dark cuisine," Aiden replied as he threw up his hands helplessly.

"Dark cuisine?" Mr. Q’s voice turned cold, obviously disagreeing. "That food was carefully made according to the cooking instructions, and I poured my passion and love into them... Just to make the bread, I spent an hour kneading the dough. How could you call those a dark cuisine?"

"Okay, fine. I see your sincerity, but it’s a fact that you don’t have a talent for making good food. This is your shortcoming, and you have to make up for it quickly. Otherwise, I’ll have to choose someone else... I must find someone who can care for my mommy, make lots of delicious food, and keep her healthy and plump." Aiden’s tone was exasperated and strict.

"Give me another chance. I promise to amaze you with the next meal." Mr. Q made a solemn promise.

"Of course, I’ll give you a chance. After all, I’ve already chosen you as my daddy. But...’ Aiden’s delicate and handsome face wrinkled up, looking very troubled,

"Since your cooking is so bad, do you have any other strengths to compensate for it? Otherwise, it’ll be hard for me to vouch for you!"

"Other strengths..." Mr. Q thought briefly and asked, "I have money. Does that count?"

"Who doesn’t have money? My mommy has it too!"

"But I have a lot of money. However much your mother wants, I can give it to her."

"That’s good! Great! Take another ten points for that!" Aiden smiled and said into the walkie-talkie. "Mark your words! Whatever amount my mommy wants, you’ll give it to her... Let’s end our call for now. We’ll talk again if anything else comes up. Bye!"

Mr. Q was speechless. Had he just been tricked by a child who was not even five?!

At this moment, in the study, Joanna Pierce was also fretting over the word "money."

Stellar Group had been in deficit, and it was a problem that had yet to be resolved. The planned production and R&D center had to be built on schedule, or four years of effort would go in vain.

She scanned her contact list and found that there were few people she could turn to for help.

The Blackwood family had already subsidized her costs by a lot, so she couldn’t ask Liam Blackwood to fill this bottomless pit.

Haze did have the ability, but when she thought about the Baldwin family behind him, she knew she couldn’t afford to provoke them, which meant she could only avoid them.

Others who used to be friends with the Pierce family couldn’t be counted on at this time, let alone extend a helping hand...

Did that mean she had to endure nausea and accept Jovan Moran’s support? But that guy was a lunatic. Once she got involved with him, it would be hard to shake him off.

She could use some "special" relationships, but the cost was to return to that "circle" and continue to bear the carnage and the cruel and dangerous pressure there.

She promised her grandfather that she would not return to that circle, and she would not do so for the sake of her two children’s peaceful upbringing.

The very last option was to sell Sun Island, which, if sold, would easily cover the losses of Stellar Group. However, Sun Island was paradise for her and her children, and she really couldn’t bear to part with it..
