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.
Susan patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, "I believe that as long as you're willing to fight for it, the thing you lost will surely come back to you with a firmer attitude."
Susan said no more and left the H Group.
Staring at the lemon chicken feet in the lunch box while standing alone in his spacious office, Ace felt like he could imagine Joanna getting busy in the kitchen. It warmed his heart…
Moran Villa.
Joanna and Nancy made a lot of dishes to entertain Vernom, who had suddenly come for a visit.
"Vernom, Nancy was able to escape danger thanks to you. I've always wanted to invite you to dinner to express my gratitude, but I haven't been able to find the time. Today's the perfect chance… Think of this fruit juice as wine. Here's a toast to you!"
Joanna picked up a glass filled with juice and said gratefully to Vernom.
