The next morning, the bodyguards put their suit cases in the car and they headed towards Anderson Mansion. The memory of yesterday night keeps flooding Ariel’s mind and no matter how hard she tried she just couldn’t blot it out of her mind.
“What’s wrong, what are you thinking?”
Rex’s words interrupted her thoughts.
“No.. Nothing”
She pushed the wheelchair towards the dining room where the others were already seated.
Grandma Sorry to disturb me and my wife would like to move into the villa for a few days as ours is under renovation. Sorry grandma, it will only take a few days. Grandma Anderson couldn’t contain her joy. Meanwhile, the other people’s faces were not attractive at all as they looked like they had just eaten a raw bitter leaf.
Rex didn’t forget to ask for his uncle’s permission to stay in the house.
“Uncle, sorry for the inconveniences, me and my wife will leave and get a hotel so we won’t inconvenient you, it’s just my leg has been a little inconvenient these days.” Rex didn’t forget to mention his condition. There was a hint of sadness in his voice and Ariel wondered what the man was playing at, as nobody could read his thoughts.
“Smelly child, how can you take your wife to the hotel? This is also your house. You don’t need anyone’s permission to stay there” finished saying that. The old madam waved the maids over “Hurry take my grandson luggage inside and make sure the room is well taken care of, hurry” without delay the maids sent their luggage to their room.
However, the other people seem to be inconvenienced with Rex moving in with them, but they all have to code switch and pretend they are okay with it.
“It’s lunch time, let. Let’s sit and eat. The family sat at the table to have lunch. Ariel was feeling uncomfortable sitting at the same table with the people who glared at her and Rex with raw hatred. She didn’t ask to be there, but what could she do? It is certain that the devil has prepared to bring her down with him.
Previously, the old Madam Anderson would ask the family to talk about the company.
However, now that she was old and had already given her shares to Rex, she did not want to bother too much, but she still asked about the recent situation of the company at the dining table.
“Mother, the company has always been very stable, don’t worry! Fidelis Anderson smiled at the old madam with confidence.
“Mother, you have nothing to worry about as long as I’m here, I won’t let any problem happen to the company.” After saying that, he looked at Rex with a knowing look.
The Old Madam Anderson nodded in approval and her eyes swept over Rex who was eating his food leisurely.
“Rex, you now have my shares in the company. Although your legs are inconvenient as the grandson of the Anderson family, you need to be the most concerned about the company’s matters. Don’t just leave it to your uncle, and help him more.”
“Grandma, don’t worry, I was actually going to talk to you about it” Rex put down his cutlery gently and smirked devilishly, “I have a plan to give my position to my wife.”
When these words came out of Rex it wasn’t the only old madam that was shocked. Ariel Ann was more stunned!
“Rex, did you think the Anderson group of company is a joke, directly giving her the position of the vice president?” Andrea bellowed at Rex.
However, the latter seems not to be affected by his complaint.
“Rex, can the Ann daughter do it?” Fidelis Anderson raised his doubts.
“Don’t worry, she can do it, she’s been taking business classes these days. Moreover, my legs are just too inconvenient and since it just so happen she can take my place, now that we are married, Ariel is one of the Anderson’s families, she has the right to take over my position as the vice president. Uncle, even the shareholders will not dare question her, and if there’s anything that she doesn’t understand, I will still support her behind the scenes.
Fidelis Anderson knew something was not right and was about to say something else, but Brenda, who was sitting beside him, spoke first.
“I think Rex’s decision was pretty good, as she wouldn’t need to work in other companies and give the Anderson a bad name, now that they have even moved into Anderson Manor.”
“Mom, this is nonsense. What can the unwanted daughter of the Ann understand even if she was being sent to the best business school”, Dana asked her mother angrily, with a hint of jealousy in her voice.
“All of you should shut your mouth, your cousin is doing it for your own good, just take a look at yourselves, you all work over time and you don’t even have time to think about your own family issues. All that you all do is work for the company and, since your cousin…” Brenda trails off and looks at Rex Anderson’s leg and then pretends to reprimand her children, but the truth is that she wants the old madam to know how much work her husband and children have put in the company.
The truth is that it wasn’t that the old madam Anderson didn’t understand what Brenda was insinuating, but it was something she foreknew the person that would take over the Anderson company in the future. There was no negotiation.
After the lunch, Brenda and her children were called into their living room by Fidelis Anderson.
“Mom, dad, what that wheelchair user did will affect the Anderson group of companies. Now he will still be able to control the Anderson Group of companies and I just do not want him to continue to oversee its affairs”, Andrea complained bitterly to his parents.
Brenda glared at her husband.” What are your plans or did you not know that if that crippled really did something great for the Anderson company one day with his 50%, your mother is sure to put him in the position of the president since she already values him more than her other grandchildren, all your hard work will be in vain”
“I have analyzed the matter and I realize asking that Ann’s daughter to join the company in his stead means he’s courting death. Why don’t we go with the flow? What’s the rush?” Fidelis Anderson was sure Ariel could not do anything in the company.
However, Brenda was not having it.
“I told you a long time ago, your mother will not let you inherit the Anderson Company! Look at our children, as the descendants of Anderson, how can they be left out of the wealth in the family they are I think we should diverge from each other and compete fairly.”
Fidelis Anderson scratched his head in anger. “If it happens that the Anderson fails, then tell me what is our children going to inherit? The Anderson Company will be useless.
However, Brenda is not ready for Fidelis Analysis.
“I’m saying this for our own good!”
“No, we will not diverge from each other in order to compete for wealth; I will talk to mother and let her reject that crippling suggestion.
“Fine, do it your way” Brenda turned around and left the living room and so is the rest. What is this boy trying to do by moving in with us in the manor? Fidelis Anderson pondered about it before he picked up his phone and made a series of phone calls.
Meanwhile, in Rex Anderson Bedroom in the Anderson Mansion, Ariel Ann was not having it with Rex Anderson.
“How can you put such responsibility on my neck? I’ve only been learning business for some days and you want me to become the vice president did you want the company to go bankrupt”
Rex Anderson lay on the bed leisurely and said “if you cannot learn business fast to take care of Anderson Company, then sell it”
Ariel Ann, who was pacing up and down, walked over and glared at him, “You know I cannot do it, even you yourself said if I take over the Ann it will only take a little time for it to go bankrupt. Devil Anderson, are you trying to make fun of me?”
Rex stood up and walked to the table; he sat down and arranged some folders on the table calmly.
Being ignored, Ariel walked over and slammed the table. “Rex Anderson, don’t ignore me”
“Here!” Rex placed the folder he had just arranged into her hand. “Do you think I have enough time at hand to take care of the Anderson? It’s a thing we both know that the Ann is at the verge of going bankrupt and the Anderson Company can help fund the Ann, my position as the vice president is in charge of this! So, technically, if you become the vice president, you can use the opportunity to request funds for the Ann and then you can work on how to get your mother’s property back and her soul can rest in peace.
