The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife
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.
CHAPTER 172
"I almost choked her to death. Did I go too far?" Ace asked.
"Yes and no.1′
Ethan was an outsider and said impartially, "Considering your usual behavior, choking someone wasn't the worst thing I've seen you do, but… I think hurting Joanna was a little too much."
Ethan had never seen the usually sober and sensible Ace in such distraught in all their years of friendship, heartbroken to see the state Ace was in despite finding his actions maddening. Therefore, he toned down his words.
"She deserved it!" Ace's calmness evaporated instantly like a long- dormant volcano that erupted suddenly. His voice was cold. "It's only fair to repay a life with a life!"
Ethan took a step backward in shock and grimaced. He ridiculed, "Okay, okay. It's fair. So are we spending so much effort to find her for you to continue choking her to death?"
Ace hissed coldly, "We'll talk about that when we get her back!"
