Chapter 22: A Good Wife
With the name still on her lips, she turned to Mr. Rock, who was now glaring at the manager’s back with clear annoyance.
Her heart was pounding hard as she directly asked, "Are you Alexander’s father?"
Rain had never thought to ask Mr. Rock his surname before, but she had intended to get it today before finalizing their contract.
Now, everything suddenly made more sense...
Rain stared at Mr. Rock, feeling a mix of confusion and curiosity. Once more, she asked, "Are you Alexander’s father?"
After a brief pause, Mr. Rock eventually scratched his head while letting out a sheepish laugh. "Caught me, huh? I was planning on keeping up the act for a bit longer, but... I forgot to brief Mrs. Lin about not mentioning my surname," he explained with an amused snort. Guess I’m getting rusty at this."
Rain frowned, trying to piece it all together. "But why would you go through all this? Is the case you mentioned even real?"
"Oh, the case is absolutely real," Mr. Rock, now clearly Senior Lancaster, assured her. "Ben, the man you met yesterday, is a friend of mine and also my butler. The facility I mentioned is my late wife’s winery in the province. There have been some complaints, so I genuinely need a lawyer to look into it."
He then looked at her straight in the eyes and added, "I could’ve had our legal department at Lancaster Group handle it, but I thought this would be a good chance to get to know my daughter-in-law—since my son, Alexander, seems to have no intention of introducing you to me."
