Chapter 25
Around eight years ago, the Anthony family abruptly departed from City A, coinciding with Levy
Anthony assuming leadership of the family. The circumstances surrounding their departure were
shrouded in mystery, leading many to speculate that they had faced financial ruin and chose to leave in
order to escape the shame. At that time, the Anthony family held a prominent position in City A, making
their sudden disappearance all the more intriguing.
However, those with a discerning mindset understood that simultaneous to the Anthony family's
vanishing act, a new family bearing the Anthony name emerged in the capital. This family swiftly gained
momentum and within a span of two years, surpassed all other esteemed families in terms of power
and influence.
Throughout those eight years, the Anthony family remained untouchable and enigmatic. Their secrecy
extended to the point where even the location of their family residence remained unknown. Nobody
could ascertain the age or gender of the family's head; all that was certain was their reputation for
being ruthless and their unwavering ability to see their decisions carried out.
With a sense of anticipation, she expressed, "I can't wait to meet your family," before pulling the covers
and settling down to sleep. Both Levy and Sandra, however, found themselves unable to sleep as they
lay next to each other, pretending to doze off. Surprisingly, the comfort they felt in each other's
presence led them both to eventually drift into a peaceful slumber. They hadn't expected to feel so at
ease with one another on their very first day of meeting and embarking on their married life.
The following morning, at the Smith family residence, members of the Smith, Jackson, and Eza families
gathered around the breakfast table. The Smith family had extended an invitation to their guests as a
gesture of apology for the previous day's events.
As they enjoyed their meal, a maid interrupted to report the arrival of an investigator who had
something important to discuss with the patriarch of the Smith family. Curiosity flickered in the eyes of
everyone present, including the Jackson and Eza families, as they wondered what could have
prompted such an eager response from the Smith family. The air was filled with anticipation, and the
breakfast conversation briefly paused.
Old man Smith exchanged glances with the Jackson and Eza families before addressing them, "I
apologize for interrupting your breakfast, but there is an urgent matter that requires our attention." With
that, he motioned for the investigator to enter the room, signaling the start of a potentially revealing and
significant conversation.
Upon entering the room, the investigator greeted everyone present, then directed a questioning gaze
towards old man Smith, seeking his approval to divulge the information in front of the entire family and
in-laws. Old man Smith, understanding the significance of the matter, reassured the investigator that it
was acceptable to share the details, as the present members were all family and would eventually
come to know the truth.
With everyone's attention focused on him, the investigator began discussing his findings regarding
Levy Anthony's background. He revealed, "It is believed that Levy Anthony assumed leadership of the
Anthony family eight years ago. However, following his ascension, the entire Anthony family
disappeared from City A. Their whereabouts have remained a mystery, as there have been no traces or
sightings of them in the past eight years."
He continued, "Curiously, around the same time in the capital, a new family emerged and swiftly
climbed the ranks to become one of the elite families. This new family also bore the name 'Anthony.'
Within the span of eight years, they managed to consolidate immense power, eventually rising to
become the most influential family in the capital. The methods they employed to achieve such a feat
remain unknown, as the members of this new Anthony family, including their head, have never
revealed their identities to the public. Instead, they often interact through their personal assistants."
The room fell silent as the weight of the investigator's words settled in. The revelation opened up a
plethora of questions, stirring curiosity and intrigue among the Smith, Jackson, and Eza families. They
now realized that the situation was far more complex than they had initially thought, and the mysterious
nature of the Anthony family only deepened the enigma surrounding their true identities and intentions.
"Even knowing where their family house is located is as hard as collecting sand from the lake. However
there are rumors that the Anthony family of the City A is coming back to city A, it's difficult to tell
whether it's true or not but since Levy Anthony is back and married to your granddaughter. He may be
planning to stay in City A ".
The old man smith was quite for sometime after listening to the information before he could say
anything father Jackson asked the investigator, "what happened to the Anthony family business after
they left City A, who took care of it was it sold to anyone or ".
This made everyone look at the investigator waiting to hear his answer. The investigator said,
"according to report the Anthony family did not change the powers of their business in City A. And all
their business has been taken care of by their surbonates ".
"It's hard to get this information since it's well protected even me getting hold of it was purely luck
because someone more powerful than me was investigating the Anthony family so I got hold of it ".
Richard and his daughter who loves money before life asked the investigator, "do you mean that the
Anthony family may still be the richest family in City A". Everyone felt their hearts moving fast and were
about to burst, they can't wait for the investigator to answer this question, "well, according to the
information I got the Anthony family may still be the leading family in City A however when it comes to
money and power they may be crashing with SAS group and Brovard restaurant and hotels ".
"According to my investigation Brovard restaurant and hotels has nothing to do with Levy Anthony or
your granddaughter. The owner is very mysterious, he always sends his vice president and personal
assistant in all the meetings. So I can't tell you why you were black listed from their properties ".
By the time he finished speaking his words, all the Smith family members, Jackson family members
and Eza family members were already lost in their own thoughts. Stacey and Stellah couldn't believe
that they have given their Sandra the best gift on earth. "If it's true that the Anthony family is still as
Rich and powerful as they were eight years ago, wouldn't that make Sandra the richest woman in City
A ". While they were thinking of this also Richard and his brother George thought that, "if it's true
wouldn't that make Andrew the winner of this battle. Getting the richest family in City A as in-laws
wouldn't that make him more powerful?"
They know Andrew is intelligent and if it wasn't for their father's and mother's favoritism, he would be
far ahead of them and would have achieved great things in life little, did they know that they were just a
drop of water in the ocean.
