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.
Upon hearing that, Joanna's face instantly changed. She questioned him. "So it's you… what have you done to Nancy?"
"You should ask your nanny what she did instead."
Ace's expression was still extremely dark. He said coldly to the emotional Joanna, "Your nanny tried to force Alice to get an abortion. Are you gonna tell me you know nothing about it?"
He paused for a moment and continued, "Let's each take a step back. I'll let Nancy go, and you let Alice go."
Ace felt he was being generous enough to Joanna.
Alice's child was his brother's only descendant in the world. If it had been someone else doing what Nancy had done. Ace would have made sure that person disappeared without a trace!
"Impossible!"
Joanna shook her head and said firmly. "I know Nancy very well. She wouldn't do such a thing!"
