OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 141 – Don’t be like this

Agnes thought that by being of good behavior, she would be forgiven and all the money she lost would be reversed, but it turned out that whatever would be paid would only begin from where the change becomes visible.

In this case, pretending would not help matters as much as she wanted it to. She would have to give up trying to make things difficult for Alex and his wife.

However, she still felt a need for Alex to be lenient with her, at least for the first part as a warning since Alex had only recently been sworn into office but was hit harshly by Alex’s reason for making the consideration.

"The maid you bribed drugged a woman, so where do you want me to cough up money to compensate her? You are lucky I refrained from touching your husband’s allowances."

In other words, all the money gathered during her probation period would be used as compensation, hence the reason for the non-refundable policy Alex talked about.

"Alex, please do something. Don’t be like this." Agnes could not believe she was at the mercy of a man young enough to be her son.

How could things turn out like this? Sadly, Logan was also not in his right mind and would not be able to help her in any way.

"You brought it upon yourself. Every action has a consequence, so you should be ashamed to beg me to consider when your intention was to destroy my marriage. If you want, then why don’t I destroy your marriage too? That way, we shall be even, and I won’t take a dime from you," Alex proposed, but Agnes was too smart to accept.

If she left her husband, she would lose everything, including all the huge allowances she received merely by being married to a member of the King’s family.

As such, it was better for her to sacrifice this money and gain more in the future than hold on to what she just lost and rather lose everything in the future.

Agnes ended the call, her gaze dark, but sadly, there was no solution to her problem unless she went by Alex’s rules.

Violet woke up to an alert of one million dollars on her phone. Her eyes widened. "What is this?" she asked, a familiar man answered beside her absentmindedly, not expecting a response but received one.

"What are you talking about?" A familiar husky voice asked. Violet shivered slightly, wondering how they had ended up in bed together and hoping that nothing had happened between them again.

She was even checking everything on her to ensure she hadn’t done anything silly for whatever reason she could not put a finger on.

"Aiden, what are you doing here?" She asked bitterly, but the events of last night began to unfold, her eyes filled with pain.

Every response Aiden had given to Alex and Joanna was hitting her like a tsunami.

"Is that your way of thanking me?" Aiden asked, looking offended, but Violet could not understand why it was so when she was the one with the questions.

From the moment she met Aiden except for their one night, he was the worst human being she never wanted to associate with again.

Her realization of being in just a towel on the bed with him made it a tragic experience for her, as she grabbed tightly to it, which upset Aiden even more when she responded to his question with anger.

"Go to hell."

He was about to hold and calm her, but Violet already got down from the bed and began to search the room for some clothes. This room was different from the one she used to share with Joanna but was also very huge, more like her room at home.

Her phone began ringing at that moment, and sensing it might be Ben, she did not answer it due to guilt. It would be better for her to find her way out of there before communicating with him.

Luckily, she found some clothes in the closet she recognized to be Joanna’s and guessed she had brought them for her since Joanna was in the room last night.

It was thanks to her and Alex’s questions that she came to realize that Aiden was nothing to write home about.

"You are so ungrateful," Aiden said with a bitter expression. Violet was even more upset.

How could he act all so innocent after all he said and did? Violet did not intend to make it easy for him.

"Everything you did was because of Alex and Joan, so what do you want?"

The hardness of her voice stiffened Aiden slightly, and he began to think of the worst. "You weren’t sleeping last night?"

He sure hoped she was, and it wasn’t what he was thinking because the guilt in his heart was great, and he knew Alex would be upset if he offended Violet further.

The fact that he meant the things he said did not mean he wanted her to hear them as that would not be good.

Violet glared at him, being upset with his pretense and asking. "What do you think?"

Her phone began ringing again, and though not intending to answer, she picked it up, and Aiden caught sight of the name.

Being upset by it, he could not care about her anymore. "Fine. It’s the truth, and since you are okay, I’m leaving."

He rose from the bed, expecting Violet to stop him, but she didn’t and rather answered her call, her words upsetting him even more.

"Ben, I’m so sorry."

She didn’t intend to answer it before for mere courtesy, but after hearing Aiden’s unfeeling words, she didn’t care anymore, even as his jaws clenched together.

Upon second thoughts, he decided to wait, even as Violet kept glaring as she spoke on the phone.

"Yes, I spent the night at my best friend’s house, and that reminds me. What is the emergency you talked about? Is everything alright?"

"Joanna’s handing over is later in the day, so I’ll leave from here, and we can spend more time together if you can make it."

"Okay, I will be waiting for your confirmation, and don’t forget that work is also very important."

She ended the call, and her anger boiled at the sight of Aiden standing there. "Why are you still there? Go already."

Aiden was shaking his head, disappointment filling his eyes. He didn’t like Bennette, and the fact that Violet was inviting him to Joanna’s handing over made him angry.

"Must he keep tailing you every time?"

Violet chuckled in annoyance. "You sound jealous. Why don’t you get out and allow me to dress up, ha?"

Her question brought back Aiden’s attention to her exposed thighs and cleavage; he swallowed hard.

"You sound as if I haven’t seen you naked."

Violet was about to vent her anger, but Aiden had tactfully left. The fact that he was able to upset her was enough for him as he made a mental note to investigate this Bennett guy.

Violet dressed up and immediately went downstairs to meet Joanna and Alex but was annoyed to see Aiden at the table.

The idiot said he was leaving, unknowing to her that he was still lingering around.

As the two women embraced each other, Alex apologized. "I’m deeply sorry for what our maid did. She drugged you to set me up," he said honestly. Violet quickly connected the dots and asked in disappointment.

"Is that the reason for the money?"

With Joanna being aware, Alex had no reason to be diplomatic about it, unknown to him, how that was going to upset Violet. "Yes."

"Well, I don’t need it," Violet said abruptly as she sat down, unfortunately facing Aiden because Joanna sat facing Alex, and the two men sat side by side.

"Then it might go to waste because the source is from the one behind it," Alex directly revealed.

He understood that Violet was upset because she thought he was paying from his pocket, but if she knew the real source, then that would be enough to calm her, which did.

"I guess you should borrow me, your wife to party with," Violet shrugged. Joanna laughed, understanding that Violet wanted to blow the money because of the source.

She didn’t need it anyway, but her mention of a party caused Aiden’s gaze to darken, feeling like a party meant more men, before recalling that Violet already settled for somebody else.

"What happened to your so-called boyfriend?" Aiden chimed sarcastically. Violet glared at him but did not immediately respond, but when she did, Joanna laughed.

"He’ll be there too, but I Joanna being there would make it more exciting since she would attend with Alex. The only person not invited would be you, so what do you think?" She winked. Aiden’s anger boiled, and though not having proof, he dropped a hint.

"You start dating a guy you haven’t meant for long. What if he has a woman? If not, why would he leave you at the event last night?"

Seeing the confusion on Violet’s face, he added more spice to make her upset. "Sometimes, if your brain function was slightly as your beauty, you wouldn’t be jumping from one man to the other."

He soon regretted his words due to what Violet did next.
