OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO
Pressured to get married or lose her father's financial support to pay for her mother's medical bills, Joanna Baker, the illegitimate daughter of the Baker family, is devastated when her boyfriend chooses another woman over her on their wedding day. Joanna, feeling distraught, witnesses a man in a wheelchair proposing to his girlfriend at a restaurant. The girlfriend's rejection and subsequent insult for his disability left everyone stunned. Feeling a shared sense of betrayal, she approaches the man with a vengeful proposition. “Excuse me, sir. Your girlfriend dumped you, and my boyfriend chose another woman over me. Let's get married for six months and get revenge on them." What will Joanna do when she finds out the man she proposed marriage to was none other than Alexander King, the heir of the wealthiest family in NYC? He was also the cold CEO of King Multinational, with a hidden identity, Salvatore Black, whose name caused even presidents shiver? Has she just signed a deal with the devil?
Chapter 70 - He doesn’t have to know
Though in a wheelchair, Alex's expression was so intimidating that all heads were lowered except Joanna's.
Something about his actions right now caused her heart to flutter, and his words only intensified the feeling.
"Must it take an hour to get rid of an insignificant person?" His cold gaze settled on Daphne, whose tears were now mixed with sweat.
The man in the wheelchair was so sophisticated and daunting, unlike anything she had ever seen before.
Had she known, she would have been more polite towards Jack when he arrived, as she was to others.
None of this would have happened if she hadn't been influenced by the rumors she heard about the acting CEO, especially the ones about Grandpa Aristotle being embarrassed by it.
It was rumored among the staff, through illegal channels, that Logan should have been the acting CEO since Alexander was bedridden, but Grandpa had to appoint this 'cripple.'
