Chapter 227: A Great Father
Rain watched as Alyssa’s face slowly drained of color. Her eyes widened, darting between Alexander and Brian. "Brian... is that true?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.
"That’s not true! I-I’ve never been to a place like that," Brian stammered, his voice rising defensively.
Brian’s face went slack, lips parting as he struggled to come up with any sort of defense, but Alexander’s words hit like a hammer. "You make it sound like I’m lying. That’s not nice," Alexander added, his tone unrelenting.
Before the silence could stretch further, William, clearly taken aback, broke in. "You went back to the Gentleman’s Club after the stag party?"
The disbelief in William’s voice mirrored the expressions around the table. Eyes widened, brows raised, and the shock was palpable. No one could quite reconcile the image of Alexander, serious and composed, with the idea of him frequenting such a place. Even Rain felt the weight of the stares, but she knew Alexander was making a point.
Alexander met their stares with a calm, almost indifferent expression. "Twice. And every time I saw him there. It’s hard to miss." His words were cool, but the intent behind them was clear.
Brian’s face was now a shade of white as he fumbled for words, but the damage was done. Alyssa’s gaze was locked on Brian, her earlier confidence shattered as suspicion took root. Rain watched, wondering how much longer Brian could maintain his crumbling facade.
Rain realized it must have been during those visits that Alexander had booked her while she was undercover.
Alyssa’s face contorted in disbelief. "Brian? What were you doing at the Gentleman’s Club?! Isn’t that a place where women strip? And I heard you can book them for... more!" she blurted out.
