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.
Jovan was the mysterious man who gave her the video of Joanna pushing Briar down the cliff.
She successfully broke Ace and Joanna up by relying on that video.
However, they were just separated. The feelings Ace had for Joanna never changed, but they intensified.
A great sense of defeat washed over her when she saw him sacrifice himself just to protect Joanna. On the contrary, she felt like her dignity was being violated. Naturally, her hatred for Joanna grew with time.
All she wanted now was for Joanna to die.
Seraphina believed that Ace would belong to her if Joanna died.
Unfortunately, Joanna was too tough, and she escaped repeatedly. She was indeed hard to handle.
"Seraphina, tell me honestly. You're lying by claiming that Joanna had jumped into the river, aren't you? She won't do such a stupid thing given her character."
Jovan used the last bit of sanity he had to analyze the possibility of Joanna jumping into the river.
