OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 129 - Today is your lucky day

’Salvador, one of our men betrayed us by helping Logan escape with his memories intact. I have already sent him to the punishment room. Please inform Alex to be cautious of his younger brother.’

Alex clenched his phone after reading the news, and Joanna sensed something amiss. The documents had been signed with only questions from the media.

The next event would be the celebration banquet at the hotel office.

"Mrs. King, how do you feel about your husband’s appointment?" a media representative asked Joanna.

Alex did not intervene, as this was the final part of the events before the media departed. The banquet would not be covered on social media like the handover ceremony.

It was simply a way to host those in attendance and allow those who couldn’t make it on time to congratulate Alex.

There would be many business discussions during the meeting, so it was expected to end around midnight.

"Well, every woman would be excited, and I am no exception," Joanna shrugged. Alex appreciated her carefree attitude and the fact that she remained true to herself without changing for the camera.

"Mrs. King, how does it feel to wear the most expensive necklace in the world?" another reporter inquired.

Joanna paused for a moment before responding, "Well, how would you feel wearing it?" she replied casually. The room erupted in laughter, but Melanie’s expression from where she sat was stern.

"That’s an interesting one, Mrs. King. We wish you a pleasant life," one of the reporters said. Joanna smiled.

They seemed to be avoiding her because whenever she didn’t want to answer a question, she would just throw it back at the person who dared to ask.

"You did well," Alex said as he kissed her on the forehead. Joanna was glad to win his compliment.

"Thank you. So, what’s next?" She asked eagerly. Alex smiled and informed her, "To the hotel."

Edmund escorted the media representatives out as Grandpa announced for everyone to wait for them at the banquet hall.

Upon reaching there, Joanna was excited and eager to share a few words with Violet. As soon as she saw the man Violet came with talking to one of the businessmen, she asked Alex, "Is it okay if I talk to Violet?"

Alex looked in the direction of Violet, but then he saw Aiden sipping wine and remembered he had to inform him about something important.

"Alright. I will be with Aiden. Let me know your every move." Since he planned to be with her throughout the occasion, he didn’t plant any tracker on her and hence his worry.

"Okay," Joanna agreed as she approached Violet, who embraced her again and complimented, "Wow, you are the queen of the night, Joanna."

Joanna smiled and returned the compliment. "You could easily pass for the queen of the night with such a radiant glow. So, tell me, what’s your secret?" she asked subtly, glancing in the direction of the man Violet arrived with.

"That’s my new boyfriend, Bennet. I met him at the club on the day of your wedding, and he’s such an amazing guy," Violet said excitedly, almost like a little girl. However, Joanna felt concerned for her best friend.

"How can he be your boyfriend when you don’t know him that well? And what about the mysterious guy? Have you suddenly moved on from him?" freёnovelkiss.com

Joanna’s questions were perplexing, but Violet smiled and responded, "Don’t worry. You might think I’m blinded by lust, but it’s different this time. I have something to tell you," she said, thinking of Aiden.

Joanna wouldn’t want to hear it from Alex. "The mysterious guy I mentioned happens to be your husband’s best man. He turned out to be an asshole."

The news made Joanna blush, and she instinctively looked towards Aiden, who was now talking to Alex. Suddenly, he moved over to where Violet’s new boyfriend was.

"Violet, I have a bad feeling about this. Aiden is talking to him. Are you sure there won’t be a confrontation?" she asked, as Violet also glanced in their direction, feeling uneasy.

"You may be right. There’s nothing wrong with me checking on them," Violet said as she walked towards the two men after the one Bennet was talking to before walked away, while Joanna decided to use the restroom.

Earlier, Alex had cornered Aiden and didn’t like what Aiden said about Violet. "She’s a woman of easy access. The moment she left me, she was already with another man."

This wasn’t the reason Alex came in the first place, but since it involved Joanna, it diverted his attention from the information he got from Dario.

"Maybe you upset her," Alex said, knowing his best friend, but after some thought, he asked again, "You don’t even like women, so why are you so interested in her life?"

Aiden chuckled and sipped his wine, but his gaze lingered on Joanna and Violet. "I never said I liked her. I’m only concerned about her friendship with your wife."

Alex was not worried about that. "Joanna told me how they met. Violet broke up with Logan because of what he did to Joan. She might not be good to you, but to my wife, she’s a good friend."

Aiden was pleased that Violet had broken up with Logan on her own terms. "Do you mind if I have a word with the guy she brought?" he asked Alex before the latter could respond. "I saw them together at the club."

"I won’t stop you," Alex replied as some businessmen approached him.

Introducing himself to the two men, Aiden said, "Hi, I’m Aiden." The men introduced themselves as Bennet, Violet’s boyfriend, and Lanre.

Lanre expressed interest in a partnership but noted that Mr. King was busy. Aiden assured him,

"Today is your lucky day. Alex is available for business. Just wait for your turn."

Impressed, Lanre thanked Aiden and vowed to stay close to Alex. Aiden then turned his attention to Bennet. "So, Bennet, is Violet your girlfriend?" he inquired.

Uncomfortable with the question, Bennet asked, "Do you know her?"

Aiden explained, "She’s the best friend of my best friend’s wife, if you catch my drift."

Just then, Violet approached and wrapped her arm around Bennet’s waist. "Ben, can we talk in private?" she asked.

Aiden felt a pang of annoyance at being ignored and interrupted by Violet. Before he could respond, a scream came from the female restroom. "Joanna?" Violet panicked and rushed inside.
