After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 155 1 Come To Pick Up My Wife

Isabel froze at the sound of a familiar voice,

Why is Xander here?

She turned around and saw him, his face serious and bit dusty. As she stared at him, he looked straight back, striding toward her, "M-Mr. Bennet?" The officer stood up in surprise.

Although Xander rarely showed up at the station, his visits related to Samuel's case had made him somewhat familiar to the staff.

"What brings you here?" the officer asked with curiosity

Xander walked right up to Isabel, placing a hand on her shoulder. "I'm here to take my wife home.

""Your wife?"

The officer's eyes widened as he glanced between Isabel and Xander, astonished,

Earlier, Xander had claimed he could provide proof. Now the officer prompted him, "Mr. Bennett, you said you had evidence. Please tell the truth."

Despite Xander's status as Solaria's wealthiest man, the officer still had to handle this matter officially.

"Of course," Xander replied. "She was with me all of last night."

Then, he added, "In my arms."

Isabel was speechless. That last detail wasn't exactly necessary.

The officer cleared his throat. "Mr. Bennett, the incident happened around 1 AM. If you were asleep, how can you be sure she didn't leave without you knowing?"

"That's impossible," Xander replied confidently.

Isabel and the officer both looked at him, perplexed by his certainty.

She secretly agreed with the officer's skepticism. If she'd gone out without him knowing, Xander might have a hard time being her alibi.

"Because... well, I need a private word with you," Xander told the officer.

Private?

The officer guessed it might involve something personal. Could it be... a couple's matter?

Feeling slightly awkward, the officer followed Xander aside, where he heard Xander say seriously, "I suffer from severe insomnia. No medication has helped so far. I can provide medical reports." The officer, understanding Xander had no reason to lie nodded. "So you were awake all night and can give
