My Identities Were Revealed After Marriage

Chapter 30

The sound of footsteps drew their attention, and they turned to see Levy Anthony entering the room

with a woman by his side, who was presumed to be his wife, the less favored and less educated

daughter of the Smith family.

The expressions on their faces changed, particularly that of Levy's grandparents. They wondered why

the Smith family would offer their uncultured daughter as a daughter-in-law. They believed such an

arrangement might be acceptable for the elderly, but they couldn't comprehend why the Smith family

would agree to it.

Briella, Levy's aunt and the one who held the strongest resentment towards him in the Smith family,

spoke up sarcastically, saying, "Well, well, well, look who we have here. The heir of the Anthony family

with his wife. What a warm welcome from the younger generation. We've been here for about eight

hours, and you were all out doing your own things. You don't even respect your grandparents. It's their

first day back in City A after eight years, and you couldn't even wait for them to come before going off

to play."

In response to this, Sandra, who had been silent by Levy's side, spoke up, her voice filled with

determination. "Lady, I don't know who you are, nor do I care to know. But I want you to understand

that my husband and I are not your servants, standing guard to welcome you. This is your home as

much as it is our home, so there's no need for such a welcome. And never use that kind of language

and tone with me. I'm not a patient person."

After speaking her mind, Sandra positioned herself beside Levy, adopting an innocent and composed

expression, as if she had not uttered those words herself.

Levy's grandparents reacted with disapproval. "Good, very good. The Smith family has graciously

bestowed upon us their stupid, good-for-nothing, and uneducated daughter. She doesn't even respect

her elders," they remarked.

In response, Levy asserted himself, saying, "Grandpa, respect is earned, not given. Sandra is an elder,

so she should behave as one. She is my wife, and she deserves respect."

After he said that he continued, “we will talk after you are done with your dinner unless you want to lose

your appetite”.

With that, he led Sandra to her room, leaving the rest of the Anthony family perplexed and

discontented. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

After Sandra and Levy left, the Smith family continued their conversation, albeit with a lingering sense

of dissatisfaction. Levy's parents and sister remained silent throughout the exchange, as if detached

from the situation.

As they moved to the sitting room after dinner, the Smith family found Sandra and Levy already seated.

One by one, they took their seats. Levy proceeded to introduce Sandra to each member of the Anthony

family, and Sandra politely greeted them. Only Levy's parents and sister responded to her greetings,

while the others seemed indifferent.

Observing Sandra's nonchalant demeanor, as if the unfolding events held no significance for her, the

members of the Anthony family couldn't help but wonder about her character. They questioned what

kind of girl she was, who appeared unfazed by their responses, whether they reciprocated her

greetings or not.

Levy also took the opportunity to introduce Sandra to his family, informing them that she would be

attending university, starting from the following day, and would be returning home on weekends and

holidays.

Deborah, Levy's sister, who shared the same age as Sandra and possessed an easygoing nature,

inquired about the university and the course she would be pursuing. Sandra replied, "I will also be

attending City A University, but I will be studying medicine."

After the brief exchange, Sandra excused herself, expressing her need to rest early as she had an

early morning departure. She bid farewell to Levy's parents and sister, wishing them a good night, and

proceeded towards her room.

Throughout the interaction, Sandra had not once looked at Old Man Anthony, Old Woman Anthony, or

any other members of the Anthony family. This angered the entire Anthony family, with Old Woman

Anthony even venting her frustration, exclaiming, "So, this is the daughter-in-law that your parents

chose for us? She doesn't even have the basic decency to bid us goodnight. Even in their passing,

they have ensured that I will never find peace in this family."

She couldn't believe how disrespectful Sandra was towards them. It was as if they meant nothing to

her, despite being accustomed to receiving respect from family members and those who had the

chance to meet the elders of the Anthony family. She conveniently disregarded the fact that Sandra

had greeted them, even though they had refused to reciprocate or acknowledge her greeting.

Levy, noticing the tension in the room, spoke up, "Perhaps my great-grandparents saw in Sandra the

strength and character that this family needs. I will not tolerate any disrespect towards my wife. As the

head of this family, she holds a superior position to all of you. This behavior needs to end today, or you

will face the consequences."

After delivering his firm message, he announced his departure, stating that he needed to rest as he

would be accompanying his wife to school the following day. He wished everyone a good night and

urged them to enjoy their time back in City A.

Levy left the room, leaving all the members of the Anthony family, including the elders, shocked. They

couldn't believe that Levy Anthony, who had never shown much concern for anyone, not even his

parents and sister, would use such strong words and threats for a woman he had just met a few days

ago. It hadn't even been a month since their marriage, and they dreaded the thought of what might

happen if they were to spend years together. They couldn't allow this to continue.

They viewed Sandra as a woman who was not only unintelligent, unattractive, and uneducated, but

also born into a family with no merit. It was beyond their comprehension.

Levy's father, however, felt a sense of pride for his son. He reflected on his own marriage to Grace,

Levy's mother, and remembered how his parents had initially opposed their union.
