Bab 43: Chapter 43 - I need backup

Cole had still not recovered from the beatings Alex gave him, but the only people he could blame were Monica and Joanna.

The days he spent in bed gave him time to think things through enough to plot out his revenge.

Joan was not yet known to the King's extended family, and yet, Alex did this to Cole because of her mother. What if Joanna got accepted by the extended family? Alex might just destroy all the Bakers.

"Joanna has to meet the elders of the King's family tonight, but what if she doesn't attend?"

Cole left the rest for Mia to figure out, which she did, smiling profoundly. "Dad, let me take care of it."

Her father could not immediately trust her to handle it, knowing she wasn't so smart, and asked, "What is the plan?"

Mia knew that her father didn't trust her, smiling bitterly. "Dad, Joanna was smart enough to record everything that happened between her and Jones without him knowing. I'm not foolish enough to cause her harm."
