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.
"I was planning to settle the score with you when I felt better, but I never thought you would serve yourselves up on a silver
platter…"
Joanna wore a calm expression as she walked down the stairs, her knuckles cracking as she clenched and unclenched her fists.
She had discovered earlier that the person who tried to bury Nancy alive three years ago was Jeremy's close friend, Charles,
and for that, she decided that the man would pay with his life…
And that man was standing right before her right now.
Charles turned to Joanna, and disdain flashed on their faces.
Charles mockingly said. "Haha! What a bold statement! Here I was, wondering who it was… Turns out it's a remaining Pierce maggot! Our boss has wanted to eradicate you for a long time, but he let you off because of the Morans! You're just a despicable. housewife who has been demoted, and no one will protect you! I might as well take your useless life to my boss for a reward!"
