It was all for a chance to learn something new about Ace. Ace didn’t seem to perfectly agree with Elizabeth’s version of the story but at least he didn’t stop her from continuing.

“The time I’m referring to is that period when Ace quit his job at his father’s company and went off to start his own thing. That was a pretty bold and extreme move at the time. Obviously, Ace’s father was absolutely against it, but Ace also obviously didn’t care. He just disappeared so I always refer to that period as Ace running away from home,” Elizabeth said before she laughed.

“I see…” I murmured before I waited for her to continue.
