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.
"Am I going to be in trouble?" Joanna laughed hysterically before wagging her finger at Ace in a playful manner. "No, no. Ace, you're the one who's going to be in trouble."
After saying that, she picked up a black caterpillar and 'accidentally' dropped it. It happened to land on Ace's collar.
"Ahh! It's disgusting. Quick, get it off!" Ace instantly broke down. As if he was paralyzed, he stood still and didn't move an inch. He kept shouting.
"Oh, dear. I'm so sorry, Mr. Moran. I accidentally dropped the insect…" Joanna tried to hold her laughter. She climbed down the ladder and began 'consoling' the man who was about to go crazy.
"Don't worry. It won't hurt you. It's just wiggling around on your collar. It's exercising!" She added.
"Ace, remove this thing immediately, or you're dead!" Ace warned with a gloomy expression on his face.
