Regret soon consumed Ace after the divorce. He never expected that his boring ex-wife would move on overnight, and be living her best life. Not only did a young heir of an influential family claim to be her underling, but a famous celebrity confessed to being her fan as well. Even one of the wealthiest people in the country referred to her as their senior. “I don't care how strong your background is, Joanna Pierce. I'll make sure to tear down your walls!” With that, the second son of the Moran family set out to protect the woman in secret. Ace: "My ex-wife is so fragile that she can't even stand on her own two feet, you mustn't take advantage of her." To which everyone replied, "Who would dare to mess with her? She'd rip our heads off if we ever get into a minor disagreement!' Ace : "My ex-wife is far too naive, you shouldn't toy with her feelings" And yet people would say, "I’m sorry? We've never seen a naive woman act so unapologetically!' Ace: "Come, darling. Let me introduce you to this powerful figure!" To which the powerful figure responded with a deep bow, "No, no, she's the boss around these parts!” Since then, Ace has had to live a double life. He was an almighty CEO during the day, but come night time,he'd be sobbing on his knees, hoping to win Joanna's heart back.
After Joanna left the cafe, she drove aimlessly through the city. Although Jovan was a lunatic, and the things he said could hardly be trusted, she was still affected by what she heard.
Joanna was also very curious about how Dylan died four years ago. Was it an accident or was someone behind it? If someone was behind it, who was it, and was Ace the victim… or the perpetrator?
It seemed Joanna would have to find a way to hack into the Newrest police department's filing system to get her hands on the files of Dylan's murder! With this thought in mind, Joanna turned the car around and soon arrived back at her apartment.
Clara had gone out to settle something, so Adie was the only one at home. Ever since the last beating, Adie had become much more obedient.
Without Joanna's permission, he wouldn't dare go to places he wasn't supposed to. After getting bored of watching cartoons, he had switched on Joanna's computer to play Tetris.
