OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 202 - Since they want to be smart

Joanna asked seriously, "A maid’s outfit? What am I supposed to use that for?" She looked confused as Nancy took deep breaths and explained.

"Eat first for energy, and after that, I will move you to the maids’ quarters before the massive attack. Alex would be here soon, and Logan or any of those dons could pull a gun to your head to make him conform to their demands."

Joanna was amazed at the level of her sister’s change. Nancy was not behaving like the fifteen-year-old Joanna expected but like a twenty-year-old.

"Okay, let’s eat together, but can you tell me what happened to you all these years?" Joanna asked. Nancy refused, though she wished to share this moment with her sister.

Any wrong move and they would be exposed. Also, though Dario would have returned her to her mother and sister, Nancy was too obsessed with this life because of the people she helped Dario to rescue, making it feel like a calling for her.

"No, I already ate, and there isn’t enough time to tell you all that. Please hurry up and change."

Joanna ate as much as she could, which was easy because of how good the food tasted, just the way their mother used to prepare it.

"I’m surprised you learned from mom. You were so little by then and inattentive to her cooking," Joanna pointed out. Nancy recalled the past, and something moved inside her.

At first, she missed her mother a lot, but when Dario began treating her like a daughter, she felt she belonged to him. He was lonely before she joined him, and whenever there were no jobs, Dario would lock himself up studying or spend hours in the gym working out.

Nancy’s presence gave him something to hope for whenever he wasn’t busy and someone to be with and impact his knowledge on.

Time passed, and the bond between the two grew. Dario found a companion, a friend, and a trusted colleague. If all of Salvatore’s men betray Dario, he was certain that Nancy would never betray him.

"I didn’t learn it from her. I just kept mixing ingredients to get the taste of what she used to make in my mouth," Nancy revealed, stunning Joanna.

Indeed, Nancy used to play alone whenever Monica was cooking, never giving her attention.

"You have transformed into a very strong and intelligent woman, Nancy. Mom would be happy to see you again if her amnesia doesn’t kick in again."

"Amnesia?" Nancy sounded worried, but Joanna did not want her to deviate from her vision of the future.

"Don’t worry. Alex paid a lot of caregivers to take care of her. She’s so happy that she doesn’t feel a need for me."

The revelation calmed Nancy as Joanna realized how she could see traces of Nancy’s old self in her now. Previously, she was indeed like Salvatore’s men. So robotic.

"The food tastes good, but I’ve had my fill. Let me shower and change."

Nancy nodded, and as Joanna left to shower, she sat down and ate the leftovers. "Can’t let perfectly cooked food go to waste," she murmured.

When Joanna returned, she had no idea what her sister had done since the plates were covered. "How do I look?" She asked. Nancy smiled.

"Good, and I hope Alex told you. It wasn’t his fault that my father died. He was killed by his best friend, and Dario already avenged my father."

Joanna recalled Alex telling her and agreed. "Yes, he did, but your happiness is all that matters."

Nancy brought out some makeup from her pocket. "Let me change your appearance a little." After the makeup, Joanna was confident that she looked like a maid, but could she act it?

"You aren’t a real maid, and someone like Logan might still recognize you, so please walk with your head bowed," Nancy advised as she lifted her dress and brought out a revolver.

"This is loaded. Keep it, and in case you are in any trouble, just press your hand on the trigger," she said, guiding Joanna’s finger on the revolver.

"If Alex was the one teaching her, she would have been afraid, but being her sister, Joanna was determined to not disappoint Nancy.

"This looks more dangerous than I imagined," Joanna said honestly. Nancy smiled and embraced her. "I only knew recently that Alex was Salvatore, but what I know about Salvatore is the fact that he hates manipulation."

"Dario should be with Logan now, and as soon as they are unable to get in touch with Alex, Logan will be on his way back."

Joanna listened to her sister with shock. Who would have known that her kid sister would become what she would deem a spy one day?

"You’ll push the wheel, and I would walk beside or in front depending on the situation. Just follow my lead," Nancy said seriously, but Joanna embraced her again.

"I’m so glad it’s you."

Nancy hugged her back and smiled. "It’s all thanks to Alex. You have no idea the remuneration we enjoy working for him as Salvatore."

Joanna was glad to hear that, but just when they reached the door, they heard a knock.

"Go back to the bathroom," Nancy instructed. Joanna opened before the former opened the door.

"Where is Mrs. King? Don Ace and Logan want her to be present at the video call," the bodyguard reported. He was not on Dario’s team, so Nancy was suspicious.

"Mrs. King is in the shower, so you have to wait for her."

Hearing her sister’s words, Joanna opened the shower, making the bodyguard report on the radio walkie-talkie.

"Boss, Madam is in the shower. What should I do?"

Nancy heard Logan’s voice from the radio. "Bring her now. We can’t reach Alex."

The bodyguard ended the call and hastened to the shower, but before she reached it, Nancy kicked him in the face.

"You?" He was shocked, but another kick was sent to his stomach, followed by a punch that rendered him unconscious.

"Yes, me," Nancy snarled before she reached for Joanna and pulled her out.

Joanna was stunned to see the bodyguard unconscious on the floor but didn’t have time to ask about it.

Nancy did not seem to just be smart but was also tough.

"No more time. Let’s go." As soon as they reached the door, they heard the sound of gunshots, and Joanna was scared, but Nancy encouraged her. "Just follow me."

Maids were running here and there with the agents and bodyguards prepped for action. All of them carried guns, which made Joanna understand why Nancy insisted that she eats well. It wasn’t going to be easy to get her out of there.

Seeing Logan from a distance, her nervousness grew, but reaching them, he grabbed Nancy as he did not immediately recognize Joan.

"Where is she?"

"In there. That bodyguard tried to attack her. I was coming to get you," Nancy reported. Logan ran in the direction of his room as Nancy held Joanna’s hand before they took to their heels.

Logan reached his room, but only the bodyguard was on the floor. "Joan," he yelled, but there was no answer. He checked the bathroom, but there was still no sign of her.

"Joan," he called out again. At the same time, the bodyguard on the floor was regaining consciousness.

"You son of a bitch, where is Joan and what the fuck did you do to her?" He punched the bodyguard in the face as the man helplessly replied.

"I don’t know, that maid knocked me out. She’s skilled."

Logan was confused by the revelation. Which maid was he talking about? Was it that little girl? Impossible.

"Are you drunk?"

The gunshots made him raise his voice because his men were trying to battle the helicopters flying in. "A defenseless girl kicked you, a trained fighter and bodyguard?" He felt like this man was insane.

The bodyguard, feeling ashamed, could not say anymore. "Please let me go find them."

Logan didn’t stop him and rather began putting some munitions together. How did Alex locate their hideout? As if that was not enough, there were so many people with him that made Logan lose hope in the fact that even Dario could defeat Alex.

He went in search of the other dons, meeting Don Adam at the corridor.

"Logan what happened? You never told us Alex was coming." To say he wasn’t aware wouldn’t make him competent and reliable, so he responded hastily.

"That wasn’t the plan, but I hope our men are good enough. Where is Dario anyway?" He asked. They looked around curiously as one of their agents ran towards them.

"Don, the prisoners are being transferred into a helicopter."

"What?" The two men asked together, but Logan was smart enough to remember something. Dario had mentioned some victims, so could it be that he wasn’t on their side?

"Dario, we have to find him. I think he betrayed us."

As he mentioned Dario, Don Russo and Ace arrived, looking upset. "Our men outside have been gunned down, and they are rescuing the victims. This looks like a plan," Don Russo said. Don Ace frowned imperceptibly and ordered.

"Since they want to be smart, let’s activate the bombs.
