OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 103: - – Cancel the order
Chapter 103: Chapter 103 – Cancel the order
Alex was furious that his hidden secrets were being revealed to Joanna, unaware that she already knew.
He signaled to Aiden, who approached him as Alex whispered,
"Colton must not survive another day."
Despite giving Colton a chance to stay away from Joanna and live, he was enraged by Colton’s public declaration of love for her. Alex feared that Colton’s words might trigger Joanna’s memory of their past relationship.
He couldn’t tolerate another rival, even if their relationship was contractual. No man had the right to approach Joanna until after the divorce.
Aiden hesitated for a moment. While he usually followed Alex’s orders without question, he wondered why Alex wouldn’t let Joanna move on after the divorce if he didn’t love her.
Nevertheless, he nodded and said, "It will be done."
He only hoped that Alex would not be the one to retaliate after the contract ended, as killing Joanna’s ex was unrealistic.
A text message was promptly sent to Dario. "You have twenty-four hours to eliminate Doctor Colton. Attached is his current location and picture."
His phone camera was so powerful that he could zoom in from where he stood to capture a clear image of Colton.
Joanna was currently confused, but since this wasn’t a love marriage, even without her memory, the choice was clear.
She already knew why she couldn’t remember Colton from her past, as her mother had told her it was due to an accident.
This information was only revealed recently after Colton mentioned it at the hospital, prompting her to press her mother for details.
"Colton, I did lose my memory, but may I ask, did you propose to me or did I propose to you?"
Joanna was trying to maintain a facade of sincerity, though she had already made a decision.
Alex had closed in on her, causing her heart to race, and Colton looked pained at the sight of their proximity.
If Alex had still been in a wheelchair, he wouldn’t have been bothered, but the man standing next to Joanna was irresistible to any woman. Even his best man was a die for.
As soon as the vows were exchanged, he feared Joanna would no longer be his because Alex gone ahead with the wedding, even after the promise he made to his only sister.
"I proposed to you, and we were supposed to get married after your college graduation," Colton revealed, hoping to jog her memory, but Joanna seemed lost in her own world.
"Since I didn’t propose to you, I’d rather choose the man I did propose to. I fell in love with Alex the moment I laid eyes on him, and he agreed to marry me," she confidently disclosed, stunning everyone present.
Colton felt like crying. After taking a risk to visit her and reveal her memory loss, she still chose Alex over him.
Alex wrapped his arm around her waist, captivated by her words. Joanna blushed, hoping he understood that her words were just for show.
Without his wheelchair, it was even harder for her to resist him. His height made her feel small, and she could only reach his shoulders in her high heels.
The affectionate look in Joanna’s eyes reassured Alex that Colton was not a threat. After all, Joanna didn’t want him.
He glanced at Aiden and shook his head. Aiden sighed and immediately sent a text message. "Cancel the order. Leave Doctor Colton alone."
He received a prompt response, "Well noted."
It was just a few minutes interval, so there was no problem. Besides, whenever an order was received, they might abduct the person but still wait until close to the deadline before executing it, just in case.
However, there were serious penalties. Aiden, on the other hand, was a boss, which is why there were no fines linked to him.
"Anyone else with a reason why these two should not be joined together?" The priest asked confidently.
Logan stood up and walked to the front, unable to keep his eyes off Joanna.
How could he not see such beauty before that he let her go, just like that? "Joan, think carefully."
The hall broke into murmurs. "It seems Mr. King’s wife has a lot of suitors," one of the guests innocently exclaimed, surprised to receive a lot of support.
"Indeed, and yet, she has Mr. King wrapped around her fingers."
"They are prominent men too. Look at that gown? Seems like she was destined to marry a wealthy and handsome man."
All the men who stood up to claim Joanna were so good-looking that Cole was angry with his wife and daughter.
For the first time, he let it all out. "How can you be so unattractive? Joanna has many men pursuing her, all of them prominent, and you haven’t attracted any man, not even a poor one," he said to his daughter, Mia.
The girl had even dated Logan, and yet he broke up with her because of Joanna, knowing that Logan had slept with Mia but not with Joanna.
Why was Mia so naive? She was close to tears, but her mother came to her rescue.
"How dare you compare her to Joanna? She inherited her beauty from me."
Cole stared at the mother and daughter, wondering what had happened to his judgment when he chose them.
"I must have been blind because now, looking at you and Monica, I understand why any man who enters Mia’s life quickly runs away."
"Are you calling me ugly?" Rene was furious, but Cole was unapologetic, wanting to get everything off his chest.
"I honestly don’t know why I left Monica for you. Maybe I am the fool." He admitted that he was the fool.
Reflecting on everything, Monica never harmed him and was faithful to him.
He only chose Rene after a one-night stand because he desired a wife from a wealthy family as she claimed to be, to enhance his image.
However, she failed to provide the support expected from a wife. Mia was determined to speak up and believed her words would alter her father’s opinion of her and her mother...
