Chapter 73: Chapter 73 – Should I refresh your memory?

Joanna was surprised to see Mia at home, sensing trouble or perhaps Cole had her discharged earlier because of the storm.

Still, something did not add up. "I remember you saying that Mia was at the hospital, so what is she doing here?" Joanna asked. Cole responded coyly,

"She was discharged a few hours ago, so why did you beat her? Why shouldn’t I get you arrested?" He asked menacingly, though afraid of the man in the wheelchair.

"I already gave you the go-ahead to get me arrested," Joanna was speaking, but with every step, she was drawing closer to Mia.

Mia, finding security in the presence of her parents, did not bother to take a step back when Joanna slapped her one more time. What happened at the car park was not enough.

The action was so unexpected that the sound earned them the attention of everyone present.

Alex loved that Joanna was not weak, looking forward to what more she had in store after having seen the video of her dealing with Mia earlier.

The bitch deserved it, and for someone like Alex who drank in violence, this was nothing to him.

"I get to complete what I couldn’t before," Joanna’s voice turned cold, her anger soaring at the sight of Mia.

"Joan, are you insane?" Rene yelled, afraid of Joanna hurting her daughter again.

After succeeding in putting Monica and Cole apart, their daughter, Joanna turned out to be a thorn in their marriage.

Rene has never liked Joan because of how Cole never stopped talking about her and the guilt he felt.

As such, she had done a lot to create hatred in his heart for Joanna, yet Joanna was here bullying their daughter right in front of them, and there was nothing they could do about it because of one cripple.

Joanna glared at her, speaking in the same cold tone. "You are not my mother, so another word from you and you shall be receiving the next slap."

Rene froze, her gaze turning to her husband when she seemed to have lost control of the young woman before her.

"Joanna, show some respect," her father yelled, angered by her disrespect towards Rene, but Joanna added another slap to Mia’s already burning cheek.

"This is for the mess you caused in the company."

Mia was bawling like a baby, both from pain and also in the bid to get her parents’ attention.

"Joan, now you are out of line." Cole lifted his hand, about to hit her when Alex warned.

"If you touch her, I won’t care for Grandpa and deal with you with everything in me." Even if he was absent, no one should dare to bully his wife.

Joanna was touched by his protection of her but remembering his rules, she quickly brushed it off.

Cole froze at the sound of the cold voice, turning to Alex. "You are supporting her to do wrong, and that isn’t right."

He expected Joanna to behave in the presence of Alex or for Alex to put Joanna in order, but not the two of them being in agreement to the abuse going on. But Alex, knowing the truth behind the matter, had an indifferent look on his face.

"Is that so?" He asked sarcastically. "Then let me ask you as a father. Are you not supporting Mia to do wrong?"

His question was a deep pointer, sending confusion through the mind of the middle-aged man who still could not accept that Mia was in the wrong.

"No. Mia was only helping with the company. What is wrong if either of them closes the deal?" Cole asked. Joanna chuckled and stared at Mia.

It was clear that the bitch had lied to earn her parents’ favor, so it was about time the truth came to light for Joanna to see how Cole was going to handle this matter.

"I see you haven’t told him. Should I?" She asked menacingly. Mia was nervous.

Alex’s presence was what destroyed her confidence and plans completely.

If she had known that Alex was coming over, she would have informed her parents to change the plan. So at this moment, all she could do was to feign innocence.

"Joan, what are you talking about?" The faked innocence on her face was enough to make Joanna nauseous.

Without wasting time, Joanna slapped her for the third time, resulting in dizziness, and she fell.

Rene and Cole were seething so badly, but with the presence of the man in the wheelchair, they dared not intervene.

However, Cole was thinking of a way to stop Joanna from hitting Mia when the latter spoke in anger.

"Will you tell them about how you gave a fifty percent discount off the insurance premium to one of the clients you ended the deal with?"

Mia swallowed tightly, preferring to remain on the floor as this piece of information could weaken her father’s trust in her completely.

When she arrived with the news of closing the deal, her parents were so happy. So when she added the information about Joanna abusing her in the car park, they were insane.

The shame would be too much if she admitted it, choosing silence. But Joanna was determined to not let her off the hook. "Should I refresh your memory?"

Mia’s forehead was already beaded with sweat, recalling all the warnings her father gave her.

"Joan, what are you talking about? I only gave our clients the best deal." She refused to admit her wrong. Joanna smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.

"If you are going to continue in pretense for me to explain everything, then I might add another slap and a kick." She was ready to do so when Cole’s voice rang from behind.

"Joan, what are you saying? Fifty what?" His heart was breaking, and for the first time, he was ready to believe Joanna.

But the latter smirked. If not for her mother, she would not care.

"Why not ask your lovely daughter who just closed the best deal?" Her voice was heavily loaded with sarcasm but there was more...
