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.
"No. What's his name?" Joanna asked, slightly dazed.
Although she was speaking to Jax, she couldn't take her eyes off the handsome, aloof man next to him.
Throughout the years, she had only experienced this feeling with one other person.
"Julian's very handsome, isn't he? From a certain angle, he looks a lot like Ace Moran, Moran Group's president. That's why his fans call him Little Ace Moran…"
"Ace Moran?" Joanna instantly came to her senses when she heard that, and quickly averted her gaze, gritting her teeth.
Why did everyone have to bring up that man wherever she went? He was haunting her like a ghost!
Jax thought Joanna didn't know who Ace was, so he started explaining earnestly, "Do you know what Ace looks like? If you don't, I have a picture of him… See? Don't you think he looks a lot like Julian?"
Joanna wasn't in the mood to look at the picture. The only thing on her mind was how bad her luck was!
