Chapter 6 – You have no right to refuse
Joana was amazed by Alex's guts but was glad he was standing up for her. This was what the marriage arrangement was all about in the first place, but she just did not expect him to act it out so realistically.
"Never mind, just let it go." A strained smile settled on her face. The slap was nothing compared to her mother's condition.
Besides, Alex was still lower in rank than her scum father, and Cole could make his life miserable.
Mia was upset that it was true and the man was indeed good-looking, but gosh. There was a great error in him. That could be the only reason why Joana got married so fast.
"Joana, what is the difference between this man and Alexander? This man is in a wheelchair and he looks broke, but Alexander, though paralyzed, is rich.
Alex had a look of disgust in his eyes at the sight of Mia. 'She's more repulsive than in her photos,' he thought to himself, glad to have escaped the arranged marriage with her.
At this point, he was glad that Joanna came by when she did, but he also found out the complications of the Baker family.
Cole was happy that Mia was finally getting some brains. "Your sister is right, and she's smarter. No wonder you are still bent on your mother's shares. I won't give them to you."
"You have no right to refuse. The condition is for her to get married, so whether I meet your criteria or not, what belongs to her should be given to her," Alex stated in a cold tone, his voice taking dominion with an air of authority that got Cole frowning.
'This cripple sure thinks so highly of himself. Who is he to act so high and mighty in the first place?'
"You are her husband, so shouldn't you support her? Why should it matter if she has shares?" Disdain laced his voice as he spoke, but Alex warned seriously.
