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.
The person in the lead was none other than the guy Joanna had been waiting for all night Joe Brown.
"Miss Pierce, my naughty daughter has gone way over the line this time. I've already punished her by grounding her for a month. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive her,"
Joe sincerely apologized, his face filled with guilt,
"I was lucky enough to escape unscathed, but my husband, who tried to save me…'
Joanna looked towards the ward where Ace was, her fingers clenching slightly.
Although his life was no longer in danger, the toxin had accumulated in his body, so no one knew if it would have any lasting effect. She was somewhat worried and also felt a bit guilty.
If she had not tried to put on the act to acquire Brown Group's cooperation, Ace would not have been in danger.
She could now take the opportunity to make the request from Joe Brown, but… she could not do it.
