Chapter 140: Still In My Prime
William grinned as he looked at Rain and teased, "I confirmed your profile with the GIS, and guess what?" His smile widened mischievously before he shamelessly blurted, "Sister-in-law, I almost wanted to marry you myself!"
Alexander growled in response, his eyes narrowing. William immediately pressed his lips together, realizing he’d overstepped. "So, how exactly did you forge my signature, steal my seal, and use my identification, huh? You’re nothing but a thief, a fraud, and an impersonator," Alexander accused, his tone icy.
William gulped and stuttered, "B-but brother... Look at you now, and sister-in-law. You two are a match made in heaven!"
"What you did is theft, forgery, and fraud, and you should rot in jail," Alexander reiterated, his voice calm but laced with menace.
Rain didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she watched William’s face pale.
He turned toward Father Rock, silently pleading for help. But his father simply shrugged and hummed, "It’s not on me, Son. I never told you to pull off what you did, though I’ll admit, you made me happy by marrying your brother to a woman who suits him well."
Rain’s face flushed, and when she glanced at Alexander, she was startled to see him blushing too. He cleared his throat, still stern. "I want you to face punishment for your wrongdoing, despite how things turned out. Just think of the chaos if it hadn’t worked out so well. Honestly, you should rot in jail, but thank Rain for saving you."
"Big brother! Are you really planning to send me to jail if not for my sister-in-law?" William asked, wide-eyed with disbelief.
"And why not?" Alexander responded coldly. "You—" he trailed off.
