OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 190 - She’s tougher than you

"Alex, Logan cannot hurt me," Joanna said seriously. Alex’s expression darkened dangerously as the meaning of Joanna’s words sank in.

If she thought he was going to allow her to partake in this risky venture, then she would have to reconsider.

"You aren’t going anywhere." There was no room for negotiation because he would never put her through something like that, ever. "I will find a way."

He dialed Violet’s number, and as soon as the call connected, he asked her, "How much do you know about Logan?"

She was his ex-girlfriend, so if Logan wanted Joan, then he could want Violet too.

"Aside from the fact that he’s an asshole, what else are you expecting to hear?" Violet asked. Alex breathed deeply and exhaled.

"He sent a virus to crash the King’s multinational server and wants Joan. She’s pregnant and just underwent surgery. If you can make a swap, I promise to get you back as soon as possible," Alex said seriously, but Joan didn’t think it was fair.

"She’s my best friend, and he could harm her."

Alex knew that Violet was strong-willed. She wouldn’t go down without a fight, but Joanna wasn’t as tough. If his swap worked out, Violet could buy them enough time.

"She’s tougher than you, not pregnant, and doesn’t have surgical wounds. Please let me handle this."

Hearing Joanna’s concerned voice, Violet remembered all that she had been through and couldn’t allow something like this to traumatize her.

"I will do it," she agreed over the phone. Alex was glad and informed her, "Tell Jack to bring you to my office. I will call Aiden to inform him."

As soon as the call ended, he called Aiden on the phone, hearing the sound of laughter the moment the call connected. Dion was enjoying Aiden’s presence, but Alex was sorry to take him from her.

"Aiden, you have to return now. Meet me at the office."

Confusion clouded Aiden’s mind as he stared at the excited Dion. They were having a picnic in the garden with everything going so well before the sudden interruption.

"Is there a problem? I don’t mind staying longer, and Violet doesn’t mind too."

Alex was upset about how Aiden’s responses were not matching his urgency. The guy was just relaxed, so Alex had to exaggerate things.

"If you don’t get here, Violet would be in trouble."

He heard Aiden speaking at the end of the line, but it wasn’t to him. "Dion, your brother needs me, but I will be back before you know it."

Dion wasn’t happy and didn’t respond. "Alex, you better be serious about this because Dion isn’t happy."

Alex knew that Dion was protected because no one knew about her existence, except Colton and her sister, but they were also dead with that knowledge.

Violet arrived at Joanna’s office and immediately embraced Joanna. "Hey, I won’t let anything bad happen to you, okay?"

To her, Joanna would always be like a kid sister. Grandpa didn’t know her but was moved by her love for Joanna and asked Alex, "So how is this going to work?"

Alex informed him. "You are the only one who can contact Logan, so why don’t you do so?"

Grandpa dialed the number he received the messages on, but it was unavailable.

"Please text and inform him that Violet wants to see him."

Grandpa did as told, and there was an immediate response. ’It’s not her turn yet. I want whatever Alex wants, and that is Joan.’

When grandpa showed the message to Alex and the team, Violet was slightly nervous. It meant that Logan had something planned for her as well and was just beginning with Joan.

"Let me respond to him myself," Violet volunteered. Grandpa allowed them to do whatever they wanted as Violet texted back on grandpa’s phone.

’Logan, this is Violet. I just want to know for how long you want to do this? I guess you are scared of me to request for Joan. Take me instead.’

A response was received within seconds. ’I would have accepted your offer, but Joanna is the one Alex loves.’

’You are wrong. I’ve been with them for a few days, and they’ve been discussing divorce because of me. The marriage was just a contract, and you won’t get back at Alex with her. But guess what, I had a drunken night with Alex, and I’m pregnant for him. So which of us would benefit you most?’

Everyone was shocked when they read Violet’s message, but knew it wasn’t true. Alex would never cheat on his wife even when drunk. This time, there was no response.

"What if he agrees? You aren’t pregnant," Joanna warned. Violet thought carefully.

"We have to think of something. In the hospitals, my name could be put on all your hospital records," Violet was saying when the phone beeped.

’Colton informed me when Joan was brought to the hospital in Miami. I can’t reach him now, but I know Joanna is the pregnant one. Violet, you can’t fool me. You chose to leave me even when I chose you over her. If Alex hadn’t come into the picture, I would have thought you were lesbians. But guess what, Joan is the loved one and the one I want.’

It was too late to make the switch, and Alex was tempted to rip the phone apart.

"How dare him? Alex raged. I will kill him, but grandpa, let him destroy the server. I would build the King’s multinational again from scratch," he vowed.

Grandpa didn’t doubt him. From the level Alex had brought this company, he was indeed capable of starting over, but Joanna stopped him.

"Alex, let me go, but just make sure to rescue me on time."

"That would never happen," Alex instantly countered. Joanna stood up and embraced him. "I love you, and I believe you can rescue me before it’s too late."

Alex held her tightly to his chest. "I love you too, but Logan has gone mad. What if he tries to force himself on you to get back at me?"

He preferred building the company from scratch than to allow Logan to have his wife, but Joanna gave him a response that changed everything.
