OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 106 – Logan in hot waters

"A lot of people, including most of you here, did not want this wedding to happen. The first being my own brother, Logan, who proposed the whole thing because our secret court marriage did not fit the standard of the Kings," Alex began, and the temperature around their table dropped drastically.

Since they wanted it, he would just give it to them, hot or cold.

Logan’s partner was not allowed at this table because she was not included in the list but Logan did not care much since he knew the rules.

"Alex..." Logan started to say, but Alex cut him off.

"I’m not done talking. I don’t have proof, but from what you put up before the exchanging of the vows, you are the first person I suspect to know something about the kidnapping of the wedding dress designer."

Eyes widened, and Grandpa was stunned by the revelation. "Logan, is what he’s saying true?" he asked, his voice low but stern.

There was soft music playing in the background, and he did not want his voice to override it.

"Grandpa, didn’t Alex say that he didn’t want to be interrupted?" Logan asked with his head bowed, unable to lie because he was afraid of the old man.

Joanna and Violet were stunned at the revelation. So, all this while, Lily had indeed been abducted. Earlier, they thought she was making up excuses.

Alex’s voice interrupted their thoughts. "Yes, I don’t want you to speak now, but you shall be obligated to answer after I am done with my explanation."

Alex was not going to allow him to escape. He might search for the proof later, but for now, his gut told him that Logan was the one behind the abduction of Lily.

"Grandpa, you always trained us to be smart. From the way everyone was against this marriage, I secretly made arrangements for a second gown with conditions."

"If the wedding goes smoothly, the spare gown would be auctioned with a starting price of two hundred million. However, I just received news that a billionaire has proposed buying the spare gowns for three hundred and fifty million."

Aiden was nodding his head. No wonder Alex did not panic when he heard about the abduction. Aiden thought it was due to his best friend’s ruthlessness.

"In this scenario, can someone clarify the potential losses?" Alex inquired, his gaze scanning the room like a hawk on the lookout for prey.

Grandpa, growing older, needed a sharp and capable individual to succeed him. His choice of Alex proved to be wise, as the young man demonstrated his worthiness for the position.

Joanna was amazed. She had always thought Alex was a reckless spender, but now she realized that everything about him was carefully planned.

Violet was captivated as she whispered to Joanna, "Wow, you’ve really landed a big catch."

Joanna chuckled, her laughter easing the tension in the room.

A wise child always brings joy to his father, and that was certainly the case with grandpa. He was immensely proud of his grandson. You have learned well, Alex. So, Logan, tell us why you did it," he asked.

Logan tensed up and quickly came up with an excuse. "Grandpa, didn’t Alex warn me to not speak? I will wait until he is done talking."

Before anyone could counter his words, Uncle Dean remarked, "Grandpa, you also forget the fact that he deceived us by claiming to be a cripple."

Grandpa was at the hospital with Alex after the incident, so the shock was greater on his part than anyone else’s.

"Alex, you fooled us. You better have a good explanation, or I will cut your wages by half."

Alex was not broke, but the rich always want to be richer. However, he could not tell them his real intention for faking the accident, which was because of Dion.

He made a promise to her to marry the woman who saved her life, so the best thing he could do was fake the accident to scare women away.

Not until things got complicated. He needed someone to marry for a short period and decided on Fiona.

Alex never intended to marry her for real. If she had accepted the proposal, he would have told her about his family and given her a contract.

Nevertheless, she rejected his proposal, and Joanna came along with the same thing he wanted.

If Alex had accepted the contract marriage back then, there would have been no room for divorce.

However, their accidental meeting led to their mutual support and eventual fulfillment of their desires.

"I had too many women around me and wanted someone who would love me for who I am, not just because I am Alexander King," he shrugged. Joanna forced a smile as all gazes landed on her.

"If you had trusted me, you wouldn’t have gone through all that. Adelaide was the one from the beginning, and yet you refused to meet her," Grandpa explained.

Alex didn’t want to deal with the complications. Many things could have gone wrong if Mia had known from the start that she wasn’t the Adelaide Grandpa talked about, and if Alex hadn’t faked the accident.

There were too many two-faced women out there, making it hard to trust and fall in love easily.

Cole’s intense gaze on Monica made her uncomfortable, but she chose to focus on more important things, elegantly eating her portion.

I think we should ask the emcee to start the toasts and speeches," Grandpa suggested. Mia interjected,

"Grandpa, Joanna didn’t meet her target, why are you praising her?" freewёbnoνel.com

Joanna smiled and looked at Mia, saying, "Actually, if you were paying attention, you would have seen that I exceeded my target by five hundred percent."

Mia, Cole, and Rene were all taken aback. "What do you mean by that?" Rene inquired. Joanna smiled and responded.

"I instructed the finance manager to notify you only after all payment transactions were completed. This was done two days ago, but perhaps the excitement of the wedding prevented him from informing you."

The three individuals appeared confused. Alex smiled and turned to Logan.

"Joanna would now go by the surname King and the Bakers would be handing over the company to her after our honeymoon," he announced, the merry atmosphere, turned sorrowful for some.

Logan was not forgotten. Alex addressed him squarely. "As for you, are you ready to explain your involvement in the kidnapping of my wife’s wedding dress designer?" Logan was sweating bullets.
