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'm going to kill you, Joanna Pierce!" Seraphina howled like a banshee, and lunged at Joanna again. "Who do you think you are?! I'm telling you, I have something that could ruin your reputation! It might even cost you your life, so don't you dare provoke me, or else…"
"Enough!" Ace growled harshly, grabbing her and holding her firmly. His gaze was icy as he warned her, "You've been enough of an embarrassment today, so don't make things worse. If you keep this up, not even your entire family's wealth would be enough to pay for the consequences."
After hearing this, Seraphina immediately fell silent.
Joanna quickly took the opportunity to provoke Seraphina into giving her more information. "Oh? Ruin my reputation, you say? Tell me your plan then, my good daughter, Daddy won't get mad at you. Unless… you're bluffing!"
Seraphina hid behind Ace, her mouth shut but her glare piercing. It was obvious that suppressing her rage was absolute torture for her.
