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's gaze was frigid as he stared at Joanna.
"There's no one here, so you can just be honest with me. What happened to them? They need to be released immediately. I'm willing to give up everything forthem – even my life. Don't push me, Ace, I'm warning you." Joanna clenched her fists tightly, her entire body tense. She had given birth to Addie and Abby and raised them with all her love and attention. They weren't just her life, they were also the Pierce family's future.
Ace might have tried to take them away, but she would definitely get them back.
"I'm not sure what you're saying." Ace looked perplexed as he frowned at her. "Who are you referring to?"
"Stop acting dumb!" Joanna burst out furiously. She was so enraged that she approached him, grabbed him by the collar, and warned, "I'll count to three, and if you don't give them to me, I'll break your neck. You already know I'm capable of it!"
