Chapter 50 – Alex’s instinct
Joanna struggled to contain her anger, especially when her attackers were Alex’s extended family members.
With most of them being around the same age as her mother, she found it inappropriate to talk back at them for Alex’s sake, stomaching the pain from the insult she just received.
She was not too young to discern the harshness in Agnes’s words, branding Joanna as a wayward woman but also her mother.
Alex’s expression had changed dangerously, and he pushed the plate aside, glaring at Agnes.
"Don’t you think that is hypocritical of a woman who had three children before marrying into this family?" He asked.
The look of shock on the faces of those present was a sure sign they were all unaware of this revelation.
Joanna felt a little better at the revelation that her attacker was not as righteous as she seemed and Agnes had an embarrassed look on her face.
This was a secret between her and her husband, being that they had even lived away from the Kings for decades to not make it known.
How in God’s name did Alex know this fact about her, using it to his advantage at a time like this?
What they failed to realize was the fact that Alex was Salvatore, having all the family’s deepest secrets in the back of his hand.
The middle-aged woman was greatly pained for her dirty linen to be washed in public.
