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.
"Umm…"
Seeing the thick cane, Susan and Ace could not help but gulp.
"Isn't this cane a bit too thick?"
Susan asked Adie cautiously.
Although she had already decided to sell her son out to get in her grandchildren's good books, she had never beaten Ace before, and now she had to beat him with such a thick cane? She could not do it.
"It's not. This is just a normal cane. Mommy said caning is good for building character. The harder you hit, the better the person's character would turn out. Your son is bullying the weak now because you didn't cane him enough when he was young.
Adie tried to convince Susan with logic and reasoning.
Susan stared at the thick cane and frowned. She rubbed the little boy's head and asked, "You mean your Mommy hits you with this a lot?"
"No."
