Chapter 118: Disgusting
Meanwhile, Alexander sat across from Tim and Sylvia in the lavish living area of Clayton’s mansion. The tension was thick as Tim leaned forward, scrutinizing Alexander with narrowed eyes, while Sylvia studied him carefully.
"Well, Lex," Tim began, forcing a smile. "Tell us about yourself. What do you do for a living?"
Alexander leaned back in his chair, maintaining a calm and unreadable expression. "I’m in electronics. I handle repairs here and there. Nothing fancy."
Rain had insisted that he keep his true identity a secret so Alexander didn’t mind playing along. He found it intriguing to see how far these people would go with their schemes.
Tim raised an eyebrow. "Repairs, huh? Seems modest for someone who managed to marry my daughter without us knowing. Are you self-employed?"
"Something like that," Alexander replied vaguely, glancing between Tim and Sylvia. "I stay busy, fixing what needs fixing."
Sylvia’s voice was smooth but skeptical. "Electronics, you say? What kind of repairs exactly?"
"Everything from phones to home systems," Alexander answered, keeping his responses just vague enough to avoid further questions. "I’ve always had a knack for fixing things."
Tim, clearly dissatisfied with the lack of detail, leaned forward. "Let’s get to the point, Lex. You might think you’re being clever by staying low-key, but we’re not fools. Whatever you’re after with Rain—it won’t work. She’s not worth the trouble for someone like you."
