Ace's words made Joanna's blood boil. Fueled by her desire to beat Ace, she immediately turned to his grandfather and said enthusiastically, "It's true, Grandpa. Liam and I are officially dating. I hope you can forgive me and give us your blessings. He's the one who can truly protect me and make me happy!"
Liam looked tenderly at Joanna next to him. He knew this was only an act to make Ace angry, but he still felt touched by what Joanna said. After all, he wasn't even Joanna's backup plan.
Liam suddenly felt a rush of happiness at the feeling of being Joanna's boyfriend. It was like he'd won the lottery!
