OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 175 - Joan is still pregnant

Alex arrived at one of the storerooms where Colton was being held. It was stocked with hospital supplies and other items that might be needed for his interrogation.

Alex had no intention of letting Colton live to see another day, but the only thing holding him back was Tess. She was still missing, so Alex needed Colton to confess to her whereabouts first.

"Have you found his sister?" He asked Dario, his expression cold, unlike the warmth he showed around Joanna.

"We are searching all the offices because I don’t think he would be foolish enough to send her to a ward. One of the surveillance cameras caught him carrying her into the building," Dario reported nervously, afraid of being seen as incompetent by Alex.

Alex knew there was no escape for Tess since his men were positioned all around the building. He glared at Colton. "Are you ready to talk?"

Colton had managed to contact Logan before his return to the hospital and was certain Logan would send a team to rescue him. However, he planned to outsmart Logan, as Logan was also interested in Joanna.

"I have already informed Logan. If he doesn’t hear from me, everything will be reported to the media."

Alex chuckled, but his demeanor remained unwelcoming. "And you think he can gather proof to support his claim when this hospital now belongs to me?"

The revelation struck Colton, realizing the gravity of the situation. "So what do you want?" His voice trembled slightly as he tried to think of a way out.

"Your sister killed my unborn child, so a life for a life," Alex’s expression was stern, and the pain of losing his child was evident in his eyes.

"It was an accident. Joanna slipped in the restroom," Colton retorted, believing his sister’s version of events, even though she had disobeyed him by going after Joanna.

If she hadn’t been close, no one would have suspected her, and that was why Colton had manipulated things to get Violet arrested. However, she had been released because of Alex.

"She told Violet that Joanna wanted to kill her baby, and she succeeded," Pain was visible in Alex’s eyes as he tried to mask it.

He couldn’t just let go of the fact that he would never meet his unborn child.

"Please, let my sister go. Take your revenge on me," Colton pleaded, but Alex scoffed.

"No. Your sister drugged mine, making her see her as her savior. Now that you are here, am I wrong to think that you gave her the drug?" Alex was not easily deceived.

"You have no proof," Colton’s response was firm. He was not restrained, but Alex knew he was no match for him, even without his men. Dario began to punch Colton in the stomach, causing him to double over in pain.

Dario received a call and smiled. "Boss, they found her."

Knowing that Salvador would not let a man like Colton go unpunished for the crime, he was not afraid to reveal the truth.

"Boss?" Colton repeated the words, feeling the weight of them on his tongue.

"Yeah, you’re right. I’m Salvador," Alex admitted. It was ironic that the same person who had threatened to expose him was now shocked that he had revealed himself.

Fear and pain were evident in Colton’s eyes as he saw Dario take out surgical knives, hoping that help would arrive before it was too late.

All along, he had hoped that Salvador was not real, but Logan was right. Salvador was indeed his brother.

"Joan will never love you," Colton raged, knowing how terrified Joanna was of Salvador because of Nancy’s incident. However, Alex was glad that Dario had kept Nancy.

"Oh, yes, she will. But as for you, I will make sure you never see the light of day."

As the words left Alex’s mouth, Dario kicked Colton in the stomach, causing him to scream, but no help came. "I’m a doctor. The world needs me."

Alex scoffed and thought about what to do with Colton if his sister arrived. He felt the urge to smoke a cigar but resisted because of Joanna. She might smell the tobacco on his breath when she woke up.

"No. The world would be better off without you," Alex calmly replied, and Colton realized that this might be his last day on earth.

Alex had warned him before, but he had trusted Logan and defied Alex.

"If it weren’t for me, Joan wouldn’t have regained her memories," he pointed out, but Alex glared at him, anger in his eyes.

"You mean partially. By regaining her old memories, Joanna lost what we shared. How important was that to you?"

Colton was about to speak when the door burst open, and two men pushed a woman into the storeroom, closing the door behind her.

She was trembling and her face was bruised, but Alex was somewhat satisfied to see justice served for his unborn child.

"Mabel or Tess, which one?" Alex taunted, internally praising Violet for a job well done, considering recruiting her to his team if she wasn’t from a wealthy family.

Tess looked up at Alex with regret. Colton gained some strength at the sight of his sister, but before they could embrace, Dario kicked them apart.

"Please, let my sister go," Colton pleaded, but Alex squatted in front of Tess, relishing the fear in her eyes.

"I’m going to make you watch her eat her own flesh. How about that?" He asked Colton, the latter was struggling as Dario pinned him on the floor.

Tess’s eyes widened, tears streaming down her cheeks as she begged for mercy. At the same time, Dario handed Alex a knife, and he cut off one of Tess’s ears, causing her to scream.

"Pick it up, or I’ll cut off the next one," Alex instructed coldly, the screaming woman on the floor crying helplessly, blood pooling on the floor.

Alex’s actions were sudden, giving them no chance to plead. "Colton, please help me," Tess pleaded with her brother.

He had always come to her aid in difficult times, but now he felt helpless and overwhelmed by his own pain. Colton was in tears, regretting everything too late.

"No, Alex, I’ll confess." Perhaps if he had told the truth from the beginning, Alex wouldn’t have been so upset and cruel.

"Why would I be interested in your confession when I already got what I wanted?" Alex taunted, adding, "Right now, you should watch me dismember your sister piece by piece until she dies."

As he was about to take another part of her body, Colton yelled, "Alex, nothing happened to your baby. Joan is still pregnant," causing Alex to freeze.

"What did you say?"
