Chapter 15
Before Sandra could respond to the Smith family's accusations, she was interrupted by Levy's personal assistant, William, who addressed Levy as "boss" and referred to Sandra as "young madam." The unexpected revelation left everyone present, particularly the Smith family, in a state of shock and confusion. They were well aware of William's position as Levy Anthony's personal assistant, and they couldn't comprehend the connection between him and the young man standing before them.
Richard, Andrew's resentful second brother, unable to contain his curiosity and frustration, demanded an explanation from William. He questioned who his boss was and what his name was. Richard, along with the rest of the Smith family, couldn't believe that the handsome young man emerging from the rare and exclusive Lamborghini could possibly be Levy Anthony.
They were under the impression that the Anthony family had lost their wealth when Levy assumed the role of family head. Moreover, rumors circulated about Levy's unattractiveness. So, it seemed inconceivable to them that this elegant and striking young man standing before them could be Levy.
Their minds raced, contemplating the possible implications and revelations that were about to unfold. The Smith family sensed that they were on the verge of discovering something that could change their lives forever. The tension in the air grew palpable as they eagerly awaited William's response, hoping to unravel the mystery surrounding Levy Anthony's true identity.
With a resolute expression on her face, Sandra seized the moment and interrupted the tension-filled atmosphere. She declared firmly, "This young man here is my husband, Levy Anthony."
"We have just gotten married, and we are here to celebrate our marriage. I didn't expect to encounter such ill fortune on our very first day as a married couple."
"Secondly, my dear cousins, we are not sisters, nor are we close enough for you to dictate what I should or shouldn't do with my life."
"If my memory serves me correctly, old man and woman Smith, my family and I left the Smith family household just yesterday. We owe you nothing, and we are not obliged to explain anything about my life to you."
"And as for you, Stellah or Stacey, why would I be envious of your men who know nothing but to flaunt their family name? I have a wonderful, younger, and handsome man-I couldn't ask for anyone better." "Thirdly, my mother is not a gold-digger. If I recall correctly, all those years she spent in the Smith family, she did nothing but love your son and you, her mother-in-law. It was you who made her life miserable." "To the extent of snatching away her younger daughter, who couldn't defend herself, and sending her off to a village among unknown people."
"I don't think you deserve to be called a human being. Even an animal wouldn't do what you and your family did."
"And finally, I didn't cheat. I am a married woman, and this man beside me is my husband, Levy Anthony. I suppose I should thank you for your well-wishes, or rather, I should thank my great-grandparents." "It is because of them that I am married to the best man in the world. If you have nothing more to say, we will take our leave." Sandra paused briefly before adding, "Oh, before I forget. You didn't want to marry your esteemed granddaughters to Levy because he was poor, and your beautiful and intelligent granddaughters didn't want to marry him either because they had rich boyfriends. So we all know what the term 'gold-digger' truly means—it refers to you and your grandchildren."
Having delivered her powerful rebuttal, Sandra stood tall and confident, making it clear that she would not tolerate any further insults or interference in her life. The Smith family stood stunned, their earlier confidence shattered by Sandra's words. They realized that they may have underestimated Levy Anthony and the Anthony family, and they vowed to dig deeper to uncover the truth behind the rumors and the true extent of Levy's wealth and influence.
After shocking everyone with her words, Sandra turned to Levy Anthony and said, "Let's go, husband. You have work to attend to after lunch. Let's not waste any more time here."
No one expected the seemingly insignificant daughter of the Smith family to possess such a sharp tongue, nor did they anticipate her indifference towards the Jackson family and the Eza Entertainment Company boss. Sandra looked at them as though they were mere pieces of trash.
The Smith family couldn't believe what they had just witnessed and heard from Sandra. How could Levy Anthony, who was regarded by everyone in their social circle as a good-for-nothing man, turn out to be so handsome and carry an air of undeniable importance?
Had they missed something? Did they unknowingly give Sandra the greatest gift of their lives? If that were the case, they would become the biggest joke of all time-giving their most despised individual the best man. Old Man Smith felt a headache coming on as he absorbed Sandra's words, especially in front of so many people. He couldn't fathom that even his beloved granddaughters had lost face in front of numerous onlookers, including their in-laws.
In an attempt to diffuse the tense atmosphere, Old Man Smith spoke up, saying, "Let's go, lunchtime is almost over." His words brought everyone back from their thoughts, but the Smith family made a mental note to investigate Levy Anthony's background further. They suspected that Sandra and Levy might simply be putting on a show of grandeur.
There were doubts lingering in the minds of the Smith family, even regarding the authenticity of the car. They questioned whether it truly belonged to Sandra and Levy, and they speculated that Sandra might be the one footing the bill for their presence at Brovard since her father, Andrew, had recently received his share from the Smith family.
As they walked towards the entrance, they witnessed Sandra and Levy being warmly welcomed by the manager, who personally guided them to their private room. This further shocked the Smith family, as it was a clear indication of power and influence. Even the Jackson family or the boss of Eza Entertainment Company couldn't command such personalized attention from the manager.
The Smith family couldn't help but wonder if they had missed something crucial in their understanding of the situation. Were the rumors about the Anthony family's financial decline and disappearance from the wealthy circles true or not? If those rumors turned out to be false, it would be a tremendous blow to their egos and pride. They realized that their assumptions and judgments might have been hasty and inaccurate.
