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 saying that, Justin confidently tried to pull Joanna back.
Unsurprisingly, Ace did not let Joanna go. He narrowed his eyes at Justin and sneered, "Is that so? Well see just how capable you are then!"
Meanwhile, Joanna was not enjoying being stuck in the middle of these two men as they played tug of war with her.
"Stop it!" Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and screamed at them. She kicked both of their legs and broke free from their grip angrily.
"What's wrong with the both of you? Do you think I'm a toy to play around with? Have you even asked me what I want?" Joanna snapped at them, crossing her arms over her chest.
Ace and Justin stopped glaring at each other and turned to her.
Ace said coldly, "If you have any brains, you'd know that he has a motive for getting close to you… You should know what to do."
