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.
Joanna couldn't be bothered to waste any more time with Jovan. She turned around, entered the car, and drove away from the gravesite.
She didn't once look at Ace's so-called tomb.
That was because she believed from the bottom of her heart that he was still alive…
Under the moonlight, Joanna returned to Clara's apartment in the city center as quickly as she could.
She had been through too much today. She was exhausted, and she could barely keep her eyes open. She wanted nothing else but a good night's sleep.
As soon as she opened the door, she realized that Liam was also there, apart from Clara.
After their fight in Moran Group, it felt a little awkward when they locked eyes.
"Joanna, you're finally home. Liam almost called the cops," Clara said with a long sigh. She wrapped her arms around Joanna's arm. "Are you hungry? I'll cook something for you if you are."
