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.
