CHAPTER 629: CHAPTER 629

"Heh! Sure." Joanna grinned but was cursing Ace inwardly.’ Damn you, Ace Moran! Here you are having the time of your life, and you even brought Dr. Wagner along! I don’t know how many women have been here, and what kind of things went on. If I had a choice, I’d never want to get on it!’

The women on the yacht targeted Joanna the moment she went onboard.

"Hey, this young lady has such a unique fashion sense. She doesn’t show her figure at all! Is she shy or just plain ugly?"

"Yeah, we’re here to make Mr. Moran and Dr. Wagner happy. You bought this tiny boat here to pursue them, but you’re pretending to be all noble and superior. How pretentious!"

"Mr. Moran, she’s sticking out like a sore thumb. Can you chase her away?"

However, before Ace could speak, Joanna snapped back,’ I’m ugly? Well, at least I’m not made of plastic! If you want to make Dr. Wagner happy, you should do a talk show instead! Also, don’t you think you’re being hypocritical? The only pretentious people here are you guys, and you don’t even try to hide it... That’s some thick skin you’ve got!"

The women were struck speechless, so they stomped their feet in anger and turned to Ace.

"Mr. Moran, she’s ruined the nice atmosphere. Please drive her away, or we won’t be able to have a good time." The

woman who had fed Ace a strawberry earlier held his arm coquettishly. She thought he was interested in her since he did not refuse the strawberry she offered him.

Ace glared at her hand on his arm and sneered, "What kind of good time?"

His tone was so menacing that the frightened woman let go of his arm immediately. "That’s up to you, Mr. Moran. I’ll listen to whatever you say."

"I think I’ll be happier if both of you shut up," Ace growled.

The women understood and retreated, their heads hung low.

Seeing that, Joanna felt better. So, Ace was not a scumbag after all.

Now Ace, Joanna, and Owen were the only ones left on the deck.

Owen noticed a strange atmosphere between Ace and Joanna, so he said teasingly, "Ace, I thought you too were uninterested in women. I saw you ignore those voluptuous beauties, but now I get it... They’re just not your cup of tea."

"You’re right. I’m uninterested in women regardless of whether they’re hot like those women..." Ace sized Joanna up and shook his head. "Or unattractive like her."

Joanna’s eyes widened in outrage. ’How dare he... He’s lying through his teeth! Never mind, I’ll let this go since he lost his memory.’ Besides, she had to persuade Dr. Wagner now; she had no time to deal with Ace.

"Er, Dr. Wagner..." Joanna was about to speak, but Ace beat her to it.

"Owen, you lost in fishing, so will you keep your promise?"

Owen glanced at Ace, then nodded. "Fine, you have my word. You were willing to fish with me, so if I don’t help, it would be rather ungrateful of me... So, where’s the patient now? I’ll go and treat him."

Ace told him which hospital it was, as well as Quinton’s name.

"Alright. Let’s go back now, I think we can make it," Owen glanced at his watch and said lightly.

"Are... Are you guys going back to save my brother?" Joanna listened to their conversation in disbelief. Ace had done so much to get Owen here, but he actually had the same goal as Joanna-asking Owen to cure Quinton.

But... why?

She had just argued with Ace, and he and Quinton were enemies. Why would Ace fish with a doctor just to ask him to save his enemy? Joanna knew that Ace was a petty man who fussed over everything and would take revenge on anyone who offended him... When did he turn into a kind person?

"You’re overthinking." Ace put both hands in his pockets and scoffed arrogantly, "I didn’t do this to help your brother, I just want to use him as a guinea pig. You don’t have to thank me."

"Guinea pig?" Joanna appeared baffled. "What do you mean?"

Ace remained silent and refused to explain.

It was Owen who smiled and said, " Don’t listen to his nonsense. He said it will be a test of my medical skills. If I manage to cure your brother, I have to cure his brain afterwards. Well... his goal is ultimately

to save your brother, but he came up with such a lame excuse for it. He simply doesn’t want others to know the good things he does."

"Owen, don’t talk nonsense. I’m not close to her and her brother, so there’s no reason for me to help them. I only did this for myself.

"Fine, you did it for yourself. You’re a selfish scumbag!" Owen said sarcastically as he patted Ace’s shoulder. He heard that the famous president of Moran Group was aloof and cruel, but now he realized that it was far from the truth. Ace was just good at pretending to be that way.

Only those patient enough to take the time to try to understand him would truly know him.

Owen looked at Joanna and patted her shoulder too. "Listen to me. Some men look nice but are rotten on the inside, and some men are the opposite... You have to be smart enough to figure it out."

"I understand. Thank you for saving my brother," Joanna said gratefully, her eyes watery. She was still a bit unclear about how this happened, but she was very moved by it.

"Why are you thanking me? You should thank the person who’s hiding his kindness by pretending to be the big, bad wolf." Owen glanced at Ace with a smirk, obviously referring to him.

Ace became embarrassed, and looked away. He coughed and mumbled, "You’d better keep quiet."

They returned to land as fast as they could, and then rushed to the hospital where Quinton was. Immediately, Owen changed into a surgical gown and calmly started performing surgery on Quinton.
