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.
Ace took a deep breath and tried to keep his anger under control. He asked Joanna, "Since you already know what kind of person he is, why did you still get close to him? Is there something wrong with your brain?"
" What kind of person he is?"
Joanna looked directly at Ace's fierce eyes and gave him a mocking smile. "He's a hacker. People pay him to do stuff. Isn't that reasonable? What's the problem?"
' But you… you would go to any length to protect your little lover, wouldn't you? Including destroying evidence in secret. I think your personality is even shadier. You're the one I should stay away from!"
Ace pursed his lips. He was rendered speechless again.
Joanna was right. In terms of shadiness, he was even shadier than Vernom. What moral high ground did he have to criticize Vernom's character?
