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.
Joanna asked flatly. Her attitude was far from polite. She looked like she was ready for a fight.
She was not the old Joanna anymore. She did not have to be considerate of Susan's feelings now. If Susan dared to make a scene, she would definitely retaliate!
However, to Joanna's astonishment, Susan actually smiled at her warmly.
"Can't I just come to see how my daughter-in-law is doing? I don't really need a specific reason to come here."
"Huh?"
Joanna's eyes widened and her jaw dropped.
Did Susan forget to take her meds today? She had always just called Joanna the harbinger of tragedy and she had never been kind to her, yet today…
Nancy said happily, "Miss Joan, Miss Susan is so kind. She even brought you a gift. Do you want to open it and have a look?"
"Uhh, I…"
Before Joanna could respond, Nancy had already opened the beautifully packed present.
