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.
About ten minutes later, a waitress in a cheongsam led Jane Brown into the beautfort Hall.
"I finally get to see you again, Ace. You can't avoid me this time!"
She went straight to Ace's left side. The person sitting to Ace's left was very tactful and immediately offered his seat.
Everyone in the City knew that Jane Brown, the future heir of Starlight Group and the pampered only child of Joe Brown, was crazy about Ace Moran.
Moran Group and Starlight Group were strategic partners that had cooperated for many years.
The two young people were comparable in age and family background. A marriage between them seemed like a matter of certainty.
But a certain Joanna Pierce suddenly appeared out of nowhere…
"Ace, you've grown even more handsome since the last time I saw you. You have no idea how much I've missed you. All I could dream about was you…"
