OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 189 – I won’t lie to you

Alex’s phone had been switched off throughout the trip, and it was only after the pilot announced he was preparing for landing that he took it off charge.

His hand accidentally touched the switch-on button, and a swarm of messages caused him to freeze, with the most disturbing one being from his grandpa.

’Alex, Edmund has been trying to reach you because of a cyber-attack.’

Alex switched the phone off, allowing the jet to land before he hurried out of it. When they reached the car, he considered ordering another one to take him to the office and having this one take Joanna to the mansion.

"Angel, there is an issue at the office, so I would have Ike take you home first," he said in a slightly hasty tone, but Joanna was reluctant.

After all their time spent together, she was getting spoiled by the day.

"Can’t I go with you to the office? It will be boring at home, and trust me, I will resume work as soon as possible so I don’t bother you again."

Alex wanted to remind Joanna about Violet being at home, but he quickly informed Ike, "Take us to the office."

After Ike stepped on the accelerator, Alex reminded Joanna, "Violet is at home because of you. Don’t you miss her?"

Joanna missed Violet, but after all she had learned about Alex on this trip, all she wanted was to be by his side to know him more.

"I miss her, but I want to be with you because you have a problem. Even if I can’t help, my presence should be enough to encourage you, right?"

Alex smiled. "Yes, you are right." He loved that she wanted to be with him through his hardest times.

As he switched on his phone and tried to gain access to the company server, he was denied and dialed Edmund’s number. The guy sounded like he was going to die from the stress.

"Sir, our IT team is battling a hacker trying to bully us, but he sent a virus a few minutes ago, and our servers are not looking good."

Alex thought carefully. Cyberbullies would always want something, so what did this one want?

Usually, it would be money, but as they tried to work things out, it would buy him enough time to hire the world’s best hacker to resolve this matter. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Find out what he wants and let me know quickly. I’m on my way."

"What’s the problem?" Joanna asked softly. Alex pressed his hand to hers and forced a smile. He knew she cared.

"It’s a cyberbullying issue, but don’t worry. I will take care of it."

Joanna did not ask anymore, knowing how affected Alex was, though he decided to stay strong.

Alex barely arrived at the office with Joanna and was headed to the IT department when grandpa arrived.

"Grandpa, what are you doing here?"

Grandpa was about to answer before his gaze landed on Joanna. "Are you two divorced?"

His worried look disturbed the couple, but Joanna was the first to respond. "No, grandpa, I would never divorce Alex."

A sigh of relief escaped the old man as he broke heart-wrenching news. "Alex, I know you are trying to contact 3E, but you won’t get him. Logan already bought him over."

As the information sank in, Alex realized one thing. Logan was behind it all and he was using his last cent to bring down the Kings because he was not put in charge of it.

"This is Logan’s doing?"

Here Alex was, thinking that Logan would go the mafia way, and though he was right with that, Logan surprised him by using one hacker to attack this time from wherever he was.

"What does he want?"

Grandpa looked around helplessly as his gaze pinned on Joanna. "Can she excuse us, please?"

"No, grandpa, I’m not going anywhere. I’m also a part of this family," Joanna retorted, looking upset.

Whatever it was, she had to register her support, and Alex added, "She’s also pregnant."

Grandpa lowered himself to the chair beside Joanna from excitement, but the IT team was too focused on battling this hacker to eavesdrop.

"That is wonderful. Alex, you must never allow anything to happen to her, no matter what," Grandpa spoke seriously. Alex responded earnestly.

"Those who tried to hurt her are already dead." His expression was deadpan, and grandpa was slightly confused and asked him.

"Was Logan a part of them?"

He didn’t seem too worried about Logan this time, making it clear about how much he wouldn’t care if Logan died too, but sadly, Alex’s response was the opposite.

"We are trying to locate him, but it seems like an endless possibility."

"Then it’s true," grandpa murmured as he grabbed hold of Joanna’s hand. It was shaky, making Joanna worried.

"Grandpa, what’s the matter?" Both Joanna and Alex asked at the same time. Grandpa stared Alex in the eyes.

"When the person who contacted me said he was Logan, I thought it was a lie because I authorized you to kill him. Why didn’t you do it?" He looked upset.

Joanna was stunned that even grandpa wanted his grandson dead, but then she recalled that the Kings would always eliminate the bad nuts because of Salvadore’s rulership. She wondered if grandpa knew about who his grandson was.

Still, she was unable to ask the question because of what grandpa said next.

"Alex, Logan wants you to trade your wife for the company."

Alex looked like he was in a daze at the news. "Grandpa, tell me you are joking." His expression was cold, and his words chilly. Grandpa was at a loss.

"Alex, I won’t lie to you. Why do you think I would come here?" It wasn’t always that grandpa would visit without prior notice.

"Don’t worry. I will get the best hacker to fight this," Alex said absentmindedly. Grandpa knew that Logan’s request would not be considered by Alex but reminded him.

"Logan is using him to attack you. The best hacker is 3E."

Alex chuckled and responded. "You already know my answer to that." However, Joanna suddenly broke her silence.
