Meanwhile, Mercedes-Benz S-class car arrived outside Anna's mansion, Madam Luyisa warned her son one more time, "Don't make it hard for us, you'll understand the situation once you see it for yourself."
Shane who was silent all through the way didn't reply back. Charlie looked at his son and thought to himself, His way of handling stuff are different unlike others. Right now, we can only put trust in God to make things go well.
A servant saw their arrival and immediately went inside to report to Mr. Edward. Once Edward found out that the whole family was visiting them, he realized that something concerning was about to befall.
Meanwhile, Madam Lulu noticed that the family of three was entering their courtyard, and on one look at Shane, she stood stunned and startled, "How on earth Shane is here? What does this mean?!"
Anna's Grandmother, Elizabeth Symonds always loved and cherished Anna as her little treasure and her last wish was to wedlock Anna and Shane.
'Does this mean, they are here for a marriage proposal? What would I do now? All my plans are going to be wasted.'
Lulu bite her lower lips as she thought through, 'Mmm... Maybe, I should play nonchalant about it for now, and later I can figure out a way to nail the situation out carefully. It is better not to cause suspicion at this very moment.'
Shane wore an elegant 3-layered blue tuxedo, his eyes gave a cold aura, and he had a lean and good physique.
Anyone who looked at him would be lured and charmed by his cold presence, he was so tired of girls trying to catch his eyes but he was also a man that can't be bent so easily.
He was like wolverines which don't just accept a solitary life; they do embrace it with open arms. They were known to claim huge swaths of territory all to themselves, sometimes even putting hundreds of miles between themselves and their closest neighbor.
Right now, Shane could only absorb the situation to unfold and look for the right settlement for everyone. His decision wholly lies on the way Anna's parents reaction.
He was here not to cause any harm for anyone especially for Anna. This marriage would cause only pain to Anna but he need to step in, if there was a compulsion.
Although Anna heard the commotion outside, she had no guts to come out of her room. She waited patiently hiding in her dark room in the end of the corridor.
Except for Anna and the kids, All members of the family gathered in the study room. Luyisa Torizo said the point without beating around the bush, "We are here for the marriage proposal!"
Edward and Lulu exchanged a glance after hearing the words of Luyisa.
Edward Symonds conveyed, "Before considering the marriage proposal, we need to discuss mother's last WILL, Anna's already 18 years yet why are you delaying it further, Cousin!"
"Good that you remember your cousin at last. But when you arranged Anna's marriage with Huo, where did your cousin has gone by then?" Luyisa who was bitter about the earlier news would not want to let go of the opportunity to bring it back to discuss.
"Cousin...! Sister! I apologized to you already; let's not talk about the past."
"Hmm… There is no point..." Luyisa trailed off and murmured quietly so nobody could hear "...in talking to you."
She then continued, "Anna is your own flesh and blood, don't you want her to marry a rightful heir."
"I agree to your marriage proposal", Edward curt in. "But before that, I need to see the WILL that has been locked in safety for years. I don't want anyone to take advantage of Anna.
Also, the current situation of our family position in our company is not good. BMF corporation is advancing their pace against us, we need to bring the unknown resources in the WILL to make an advance."
Jacob Shaw, The youngest and talented CEO of the BMF corporation in Newyork city. His corporation covers machinery, technology, beverages, motors, etc... BMF was aggressively making it's way to the top in leaps and bounds like a giant serpent swallowing the moon. Even Torizo Corporation was in a tight spot.
"Regarding this, I need to talk to you in private. There are so many unknown moles in our corporation that we need to eliminate at first and regarding the marriage proposal, I assure you that I will never hurt you or your family members but currently I am running out of time." Luyisa said with a meaningful quick glance at Lulu.
Noticing the conversation going ahead, Shane excused him to meet Anna, "Mom! Uncle Edward! Please do Excuse me, I need to look for Anna and have a quick chat."
Edward nodded.
"Take your time, Shane" Luyisa cheered. On other hand, Charlie looked at him thoughtfully.
