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.
"Thank you for all your hard work. I'll excuse myself now."
Joanna then nodded slightly at the police officers, turned around, and left.
Meanwhile, Liam and Clara had been anxiously waiting for Joanna in the waiting area. As soon as they saw her coming out, they rushed toward her in excitement.
"You're finally out, Boss! So what's the situation? Do we know Adie's whereabouts now?"
Joanna had no desire to say too much, so she simply told them, "If you see Alice coming out later, capture her immediately. She knows where Adie is."
"Alice?" Clara lost her temper as soon as she heard the woman's name. "That nasty b*tch! Why does it have to be her again? Don't tell me that she's the one who kidnapped Adie?"
Joanna neither confirmed nor denied it. Instead, she turned to Liam and said, "I must rely on you for this. I believe the Blackwood family is vastly experienced in this sort of matter."
