The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife
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.
CHAPTER 53
The Moran family memorial chamber housed the altars of the Moran family's ancestors. Kneeling in the memorial chamber was considered the most severe punishment in the family.
Ace remained silent the entire time. He knelt in front of all the ancestral tablets on the cold hard ground with his back covered with whip marks.
"Send someone here to watch him. I'll see how long he's going to stay without food and water for three days!" Old Mr. Moran told Luke sternly.
Luke was worried about Ace's bloody back. "Master, he is seriously injured from the whipping," he boldly pleaded. "He won't get through three days kneeling without food and water!"
Old Mr. Moran was relentless in his pursuit. "He agreed that he should receive punishment for this mistake," he ruthlessly spat without looking at Ace.
"B–but Mrs. Moran said she was the one who initiated the divorce. She's in love with someone else now. How is this considered his fault?"
