My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner

Anastasia Harrison, a young woman abused by her cruel family, thought her life was over when they forced her to marry Richard, the sleazy black sheep of the wealthy Wallace family. Meanwhile, her favored younger sister, Michelle, was set to marry Xavier, the elder brother, who was a CEO. Yet, an error at city hall ended up swapping their names on their respective marriage certificates. "What is this?! How are you married to Xavier Wallace?" "You're not getting any food or water until you sign the divorce papers!" To add fuel to the fire, the old Mr. and Mrs. Harrison passed away, leaving all their assets to Anastasia and not the rest of the family. This drove the Harrisons to their breaking point. To trade for a peaceful life, Anastasia was willing to leave her inheritance and leave the family, but the Harrisons had other plans in mind. They wanted to get rid of her. Permanently. However, it was by a stroke of luck that Anastasia was found by her new husband, Xavier, before her family succeeded. Determined to get her revenge, she struck a deal with Xavier. "Continue to be my wife and I will help you get your revenge!"

Useless?

Xander might not have always been in a good relationship with his father, but he was sure his father had never mentioned those names the unknown man had just spewed. 

"I think you're talking to the wrong person," he said. 

Bruce's eyes widened in amusement. However, before Xander could leave, he quickly asked, "You're Xander Wallace right? The son of Thomas Wallace?"

Not only did the man recognize him, but he also knew his father. 

To improve the "show, don't tell" aspect of the sentence, we can convey Xander's disregard for the facts through his actions and attitude. Here's a revised version:

Xander dismissed the facts with a sharp wave of his hand, his eyes narrowing at the man across from him. The stranger's mild demeanor might have fooled someone else, but Xander wasn't about to be swayed by polite words or a harmless smile.
