The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife
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.
CHAPTER 476
"Mom, I'm sorry. I couldn't protect myself, and now I've made you sad." Ace's voice was calm.
Susan looked at Ace sadly. Her son used to be such a proud man, and now he was so depressed and melancholy. The light in his eyes seemed to have disappeared. Susan was devastated seeing her son like this; it was so painful that she could hardly breathe.
"Ace. Oh, son. What have you been through?" Susan hugged Ace tightly. She couldn't imagine the kind of torture Ace had been through during his disappearance to become like this.
"It's over. I don't want to talk about it," Ace said indifferently. He did not want to reveal anything, and forbade Seraphina from saying anything.
Ace believed what he had suffered was the consequence of his past actions. It was to repay what he owed to Joanna, and he deserved it. The debt was cleared, and the two no longer owed each other anything. There was no need to get involved with each other again.
