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.
"You want to know about Madam?" Nancy asked, looking at Joanna and sighing. "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I don't really know her either, and I've never met her properly."
"Really?"
"Yes," Nancy replied as she took a trip down memory lane and answered honestly. "I grew up and was homeschooled in my family. My family has always served the Carter family, so when Madam found me and told me to apply to become a nanny. to care for your pregnant mother and eventually you, I listened to them unconditionally."
"She was very mysterious. She never appeared publicly and always wore a veil when she met me. That's why I said I probably never met her properly…"
Even after decades, Nancy could still vividly remember the day she had met Madam Pierce.
The woman had been unique. There was no word to describe her, and 'beautiful' was not enough. Even the veil she wore could not cover up her exceptional charm.
