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.
Then, he turned around and walked away just like that!
"? ? ?"
Joanna's mind was filled with question marks.
That guy was so shameless. Shouldn't he ask for her opinion first?
Ace walked back to his sports car. Before getting in, he stopped, turned around and asked Shelley, "Can you drive?"
"Of course. What do you want me to do, Mr. Moran?"
'Take her car back."
After giving Shelley the command, Ace turned to Joanna and said, "We'll go in my car."
'Yes, Mr. Moran. What a reasonable arrangement. I wish you two a pleasant meal!"
Shelley could read the mood. She quickly drove away in Joanna's car while Joanna stared at her speechlessly.
"Get in."
Ace was very satisfied with Shelley's cleverness. With a hint of a smile on his lips, he called out to Joanna, who was frozen in place.
Joanna was seething. She started to suspect that the assistant she had carefully selected might have been a spy Ace planted near her.
