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.
Ace picked up his phone and dialed Joanna's number with practiced familiarity, only to suddenly remember that she had blocked him. He became even madder.
"Rose!"
He angrily summoned his secretary.
The secretary walked cautiously into the office and asked, "What can I do for you, Mr. Moran?"
"Lend me your phone."
"M–My phone?"
Although Rose was confused, she still handed her phone to Ace respectfully.
Without saying another word, Ace dialed Joanna's number again.
The phone rang for only three seconds before it was picked up.
"Hello?"
Joanna's lazy voice, with a trace of joy, came from the other end of the phone.
She just swindled hundreds of thousands of dollars from him! Of course she would be happy!
"Sounds like you're in a good mood."
Ace said sarcastically with a stiff face.
Joanna immediately recognized Ace's voice. She replied, "I'm not feeling too bad!"
