Chapter 186: Legal Action
The room fell into an expectant hush as soon as Alexander Lancaster strode into the hall. His presence, commanding and magnetic, seemed to shift the very air around him.
Reporters, particularly the women, barely suppressed their gasps, captivated by the striking, sharp-featured man who was every bit as imposing as his reputation suggested. The Vice Chairman and CEO of Lancaster Group, the country’s largest business conglomerate, didn’t just enter a room—he dominated it.
He stepped up to the microphone, adjusting it slightly to accommodate his height, the simple action drawing everyone’s eyes to him. His expression was composed, but a flicker of steel glinted in his gaze. The rapid flash of cameras made his features even more striking, lighting up his chiselled jawline as he began to speak.
"Thank you all for being here today," Alexander said, his deep voice cutting through the silence. "I’m Alexander Lancaster, and I want to address the rumours circulating about my marriage to Rain Clayton."
A pause followed. The tension in the room was thick as the reporters leaned in, hanging on his every word. "First and foremost, I want to clarify that my marriage to Rain Clayton is genuine. Contrary to recent claims, there was no fraudulent activity surrounding our registration. We entered this commitment willingly, and any assertion otherwise is entirely unfounded."
Murmurs immediately erupted from the crowd.
"Wow, he really married her?" one reporter whispered, her voice barely audible.
"Does this mean the rumours were really false?" another asked in hushed tones, sounding disappointed that the juicy scandal was unravelling.
"How did this Rain Clayton manage to marry him?" someone muttered.
