The woman's name was Mavis Parker, a Teflayria nationality.
Which small backward country was this?
They had never heard of...
They looked at Anthony's expression which was calm, and couldn't help but question the authenticity of the marriage certificate.
"Anthony, you are afraid of being urged to marry by us, so you deliberately found a photo of a woman on the Internet and synthesized it to make a fake marriage certificate to deal with us?"
Anthony took a sip of coffee without hesitation. "The marriage certificate is in your hands. You can ask someone to verify. The staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau personally issued it this morning.
"Hmm..."
The corners of the elders' mouths twitched. Anthony said it so confidently. Were they really married?
"Anthony, it's not that we don't believe you. Is this woman...reliable?"
"How is her family background?"
"Does she have a bachelor's degree or above? Where does her family live? How many people are there?"
"What do her parents do?"
"When are you going to have the wedding?"
"..."
Anthony heard their questions and was sullen during the whole process, "I don't know her, and since you don't approve it, I will not disclose my marriage to the public. If you are not very busy, you can go and investigate her. Or you can look for opportunities to test her. If you think she is not suitable to conceive the future heir of the Callahan family, I will divorce her in at most one year."
The conference room was quiet for a while.
Several elders were dumbfounded, and some trusted ones were flattered.
Anthony actually gave them the right to assess his wife, and if they felt her was inappropriate, Anthony was willing to do the divorce.
"Anthony, are you serious? If a year later, we don't like her and think she's not suitable, will you really get a divorce?"
Anthony smiled slightly, "When did I lie to you?"
"Okay, Anthony, you're such a good boy. Then we will do as you said. We will not disclose it to the public. After we have verified the woman's identity, we will consider whether to hold a wedding or not and make an announcement."
Anthony got up, casually tidied up the cuffs of his suit, made a light hum, passed over several Callahan family elders without expression, and left the conference room.
He didn't even take the marriage certificate from the table.
As if that thing was optional, the purpose of existence was only to deal with a few elders, so that they will not come to nag.
Anthony walked down the aisle with his hands in his trouser pockets. Several male special assistants followed him silently, like a small army migrating.
At the corner, Dylan suddenly bypassed the two bodyguards, came out of the living room, and met Anthony head-on.
"Mr. Callahan, it looks like you've just finished your work, right? I'm in a hurry to talk to you, so is it inconvenient?"
Since he said so, normal social people would be willing to talk to him.
But Anthony didn't like to take the usual route.
"Don't ask. It's inconvenient."
He didn't look nice but wanted to leave around Dylan. However, Dylan blocked his way, and his attitude became tough.
"My daughter has done something wrong that has offended you. I know you're not happy, but Mr. Callahan, Stone Group has been struggling for so many years among the wealthy families. If you really want to turn friend into enemy, I'm afraid Callahan Group can't get anything good either."
Anthony looked down at him with a serious look: "If Callahan Group suffers losses, then Stone Group's price will be even worse. Mr. Stone, you can try."
Dylan groaned inwardly, "I'm here today to apologize to you for my daughter. She was spoiled by me since she was a child, but she doesn't have any bad intentions. She recommended a job to the woman. She really just pitied her. She didn't something else."
Anthony raised his eyebrows slightly, and his blue eyes were filled with irony, "It seems you don't know much about your daughter."
"What do you mean?"
Anthony ignored it and continued, "Mavis is a friend of Molly. Molly has always regarded her as a sister. And Molly is the future heiress of the Lloyd's Corp. Nevaeh bullying Mavis is equivalent to bullying Molly. If Molly has been bullied, White family, Lloyd family and Callahan family will not be willing to let go. Have you thought about whether you can bear the consequences of the three families' joint movement?"
Dylan's face paled.
Of course he knew. Otherwise he wouldn't be there to ask for visiting Anthony every day.
"Nevaeh did not think carefully about this matter, and didn't expect it to get out of control, but in the end... Wasn't there anything wrong with that Miss Parker? Several executives involved have been caught and got fixed by NIB. Can't you move on?"
