Chapter 23


    They would never allow anyone to bully their only child. If they had to give up living with her just to


    ensure her safety, they would do anything for her. Despite the circumstances that forced them to


    separate, their love for their daughter remained unwavering, and they would not tolerate anyone

    mistreating her.


    Little did they know that anyone who dared to harm their daughter had not even been born yet, and if


    they were, they would meet their demise before even contemting such actions.


    Observing her parents'' expressions, Sandra could tell that with their intelligence, they must have


    conducted thorough investigations into Levy Anthony and the Anthony family. They likely had an inkling


    of the connection between Levy Anthony and the Anthony family of City A in the capital.


    Her parents were concerned that once she started living with the Anthony family, she might face


    bullying due to her background and education. Sandra assured them, "Don''t worry, Mom and Dad. Your


    daughter won''t be at a disadvantage. I promise I will continue my studies and go back to school."


    After that, she turned to her mom and said, "Mom, it''s gettingte, and I arrived with the driver. I don''t


    want to keep him waiting. We will see each other on Sunday. I just came to collect my belongings."


    "Thankfully, my things are still packed, or else I would have had trouble with parking," she added with a


    sigh of relief. With that, Sandra headed to her room, retrieved her bags, and made her way downstairs.


    Before Sandra could leave, she bid farewell to her parents. To her surprise, both her parents handed


    her a bank card. She looked at it, realizing that it was no ordinary card. It had no spending limit. Sandra


    paused for a moment, unsure of what to say. Finally, she spoke up, "I don''t need these cards. If I ever


    need money, I''ll let you know."


    Her mother gently replied, "No, honey. I know you don''t want to trouble us or rely on us, but you''re our


    only child, and we want nothing but the best for you. We work hard to earn this money, and we want


    you to enjoy it. Please take it. It''ll give us peace of mind knowing that you won''tck anything."


    Her father chimed in, "Yes, baby, you should take these cards. You never know when you might need


    them. Use them whenever you want. You''re about to start university, and it wouldn''t be appropriate if


    you didn''t have enough money. Besides, if you don''t take it, then who will use our hard-earned money?


    It''s all yours, so use it as you please."


    Sandra felt deeply moved. She knew that no matter what she said, her parents would insist she take


    the cards. It was best to ept them without further protest. After expressing her gratitude, she left


    their vi and found the driver patiently waiting for her. She thanked him and settled into the back seat.


    The driver inquired, "Where to, madam?" Sandra replied, "To the Anthony family residence," and


    remained silent for the entire journey.


    As they made their way, Sandra couldn''t help but reflect on everything that had happened that day. She


    never expected to be married at the age of neen, soon turning twenty in a few months. Finally, they


    arrived at the Anthony family mansion, where maids eagerly approached to assist her with her


    belongings. However, Sandra politely declined their help, informing them that she would ask if she


    needed anything.


    After bringing her belongings to their bedroom and organizing them, Sandra decided to rx and


    unwind in bed. She was so exhausted that she fell asleep without even realizing it. It wasn''t until


    midnight when Levy returned from the office and inquired with the maids if she had already eaten.


    The maid replied, "Since she came back, she has been in the bedroom withouting downstairs. I


    thought she was busy, so I didn''t want to disturb her. I will go and call her now that you''re here, so you


    can have your dinner." Levy told the maid not to bother calling her and instead instructed her to prepare


    the dinner and send it to their room. He then proceeded to their bedroom.


    Knocking on the door before entering, Levy was surprised to find Sandra fast asleep. A smile


    unconsciously formed on his face as he gazed at her peaceful expression. Sitting down beside her,


    Sandra abruptly opened her eyes and instinctively moved her hands to defend herself. Caught off


    guard, Levy didn''t expect a girl who grew up in a vige to possess such swift and dangerous reflexes.


    Even the esteemed Lord Anthony of the capital could be subdued within a minute. However, he quickly


    regained hisposure and reassured her, "It''s alright, it''s me, Levy. I won''t do anything to you."


    Hearing his voice and recognizing her husband, Sandra rxed and sat up in bed. She apologized,


    saying, "I''m sorry. I thought it was some intruders. You know, living in the vige, there were often


    troublemakers. So my great-grandparents'' friends arranged for me to have a teacher who taught me


    self-defense."


    "Heh, indeed, self-defense," Levy chuckled. "If I hadn''t reacted quickly, I might be lying in a hospital


    bed right now. But to you, it''s just self-defense, right?" He gazed deeply into her eyes, as if trying to


    discern her true thoughts. Sandra met his gaze momentarily before averting her eyes and clearing her


    throat. She requested, "Could you please give me some space? I would like to use the bathroom."
