OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 168 - I know your little secret

Colton had just arrived at his station when he received a text message from his sister. He instantly dialed her number.

"Tess, what is wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?" They both wanted the same things but he realized his sister was losing her mind.

"Dion told me that Alex was going to divorce Joan and marry me, but now, the bitch is pregnant and she’s not wearing her ring. Alex must have divorced her, but why didn’t he get in touch like he promised? Do you think he would still marry me if he finds out she’s pregnant?"

Tess was wailing on the phone from where she hid to answer the call. How could Joanna be so careless? As far as she was concerned, Joanna would do anything to stay in the marriage since she was the one who proposed to Alex.

"Look, you don’t know exactly what happened, so don’t do anything stupid," Colton warned but Tess was far from listening.

"I’m not going to kill her. Just to get rid of the baby," Tess smiled, but Colton disagreed.

"No. The baby is innocent. Let me find Joan and talk things out with her. If she doesn’t have her ring, then maybe she finally divorced Alex. I could raise the baby as mine," he assured in an attempt to talk her out of it, but a jealous bitch was just too hard to convince.

"No. Alex would never leave her if he finds out about the baby."

"And you would not be alive to marry him if you kill his child. Logan speculates that Alex is Salvador, but even if he isn’t, Salvador’s men are still the protectors of the Kings."

Colton had just arrived at work and knew that even if he tried, he might not make it in time to save Joanna. The best thing was to talk his sister out of it.

He might be crazy, but not crazy enough to harm an innocent child.

"They won’t kill me if they don’t know," Tess answered and switched off the phone instantly since her brother was not on her side this time.

By the time she returned to the restaurant, Joanna was walking to the restroom as Violet continued eating her food.

With an evil smirk, she followed Joanna into the female restroom and waited for her by the sink. Joanna came out, and as she was washing her hands, Tess approached her.

"Hello," she asked. Joanna smiled with a confused expression. "Do I know you?"

"No, but I was at your wedding," Tess replied. Joanna wiped her hands with a towel and shrugged. "Good to know." There were a lot of people at her wedding, most of whom she didn’t know.

As she was about to leave the restroom, Tess approached her. "I actually wanted to inform you that Alex is mine."

Joanna smiled, probably tired of hearing that bullshit, and at this moment, she was happy to be divorced.

"Well then, you can have him."

Tess was not satisfied with the answer and asked her. "Alex promised to marry me after divorcing you but still hasn’t made a move."

As much as Joanna hated it, her mind traveled to the past, and a name came to mind. "Let me guess. You must be Dion." It felt selfishly good to hear that Alex hadn’t moved on but if this was the bitch he was replacing her with, then he wasn’t as smart as she thought he was.

Confusion clouded Tess’s mind as she realized she was a step ahead because Joanna had no idea what Dion looked like and who she was to Alex.

Could that mean the marriage was all a sham? If that be the case, then Alex should be grateful to her for helping to get rid of the unwanted baby, right?

"Yeah, you got that right, but sadly, I know your little secret, and I would be damned before you have Alex’s child."

Joanna panicked at that moment. "What are you talking about?" Fear registered in her eyes as Tess slapped her hard on the face.

"How dare you get pregnant in a contract marriage?" She was not sure and waited for Joan to deny it, but when she didn’t, it confirmed all the rumors spread at the wedding.

Joanna wanted to retaliate, but for the sake of her unborn child, she preferred not to engage in a fight, especially when she and Alex were divorced.

Fighting for him would just be useless so she aimed for the door but as she reached it, Tess had already calculated her move, blocking Joanna’s leg with hers.

Joanna did not have time to save herself before her head hit the cabinet, at the same time a shrill tore from her throat, as her waist hit the floor painfully, she fell unconscious.

Fear settled in Tess’s eyes. "Is she that fragile? I didn’t even do anything." Before she could say anything, Violet had already opened the restroom door and seeing Joanna on the floor, her heart sank.

"Joan," she took out her phone and called the emergency service as Tess tried to escape, but Violet pulled her hair harshly.

"What the hell happened to her?" She asked after making the report.

Not prepared for this, Tess could not come up with an excuse. "I don’t know. She just screamed and fell."

Violet did not take it kindly, sending a slap to Tess’s face. If Tess had even lied that Joanna slipped and fell, Violet would not have suspected anything, but saying she saw nothing made her the culprit.

"I swear to God that if anything happens to her or the baby, I would rip you limb by limb," Violet slapped Tess again, at the same time Joanna regained partial consciousness.

"V," Joanna called out. Violet pushed Tess away violently and lifted and positioned Joanna in her arms. "The emergency service will be here soon. Just save your breath. Everything will be fine," she assured Joanna but her hopes were destroyed when she saw the crimson liquid on the floor.

Also, her hand which she held Joanna’s head shook, tainted with blood. "No," she panicked as Joanna spoke in almost a whisper.

"She’s Dion, the woman Alex left me for. She...she wants my baby dead."
