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 61
Old Mr. Moran remained silent for a long time after watching Joanna's press conference. He seemed to be deep in thought.
'Now, Grandpa will finally understand that it takes two to tango,' Ace thought in relief.
Truthfully, he didn't love Joanna, and he certainly had done things to hurt her. In his defense though, Joanna didn't love him either. While he and Alice pretended to be close, Joanna and Liam had genuine feelings for each other. They were even prepared to have children.
That's why both of them had agreed to the divorce. How could she make him the sole scapegoat?
"Grandpa, as you've just seen, this woman wanted nothing more than to divorce me. That way, she can officially be with Liam. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so eager to make a public announcement that we're divorced. She's not as innocent as you think she is. Everyone's just fooled by her appearance!" Ace couldn't hide the anger in his voice.
