"I refuse!"
Ace already gave his answer before Joanna had even finished counting.
He was expressionless, as if he was looking at a stranger. Without any emotion, he said, "You're always so arrogant. You think you have unlimited charm and can make me bow down to you. Little did you know that I was just playing with you. I've won when I confirmed that you've truly fallen for me. Naturally, I have no reason to continue our relationship anymore. I didn't expect you to get addicted to being toyed with. You would rather be humiliated than give up. You're pathetic."
"Enough!"
Ethan's fists were clenched. For the first time, he shed his calm and collected outer shell. With his emotions slightly out of control, he mocked Ace, "If you have the time to humiliate her, why not use it to think of a way to help the Moran Group overcome the crisis? If news of you doing something so cruel to a woman spreads, our Moran family will become a joke!"
