Mr. Sanders glanced up, his gaze first falling on Maja, then shifting to Ian, his pupils shrinking fiercely, disbelief prompting him to rise from his seat.
His face betrayed such shock that one might suspect he'd seen a ghost.
At the same moment, Mrs. Sanders also looked up, her expression equally incredulous. But they were formidable figures in their youth, and swiftly masked their emotions.
It was the patriarch who spoke first.
"Is this Maja?"
Maja, unprovoked and therefore not displaying her sharpness, stepped forward with a meek demeanor, bowing her head slightly.
"Grandpa, Grandma."
The Sanders' family values were well-regarded; even though many were disgruntled by the shares she held, no one spoke out before the elders had their say.
Even York, whose eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets, didn't dare act out of line at this critical moment.
The presence of the two elders was so formidable it left everyone else gasping for air.
Mr. Sanders nodded, taking a sip from the coffee on the table, appearing at least a decade younger than his peers.
"When I handed over the Sanders family to Augus, I made it clear: the heir of the Sanders family has the right to handle anything, including the distribution of shares."
York couldn't hold back any longer.
"What makes this girl worthy?"
"Silence!"
Mrs. Sanders's voice rang out, stern and commanding.
The reprimand made York shudder.
Maja began to understand why Beck said the Sanders never fought among themselves.
With strict family discipline, Beck's casual ways must seem irresponsible to them, while Dylan was the ideal successor in their eyes.
The authority of the family head was inviolable.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
