Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Chapter 1434

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

frustration, yet not daring to speak

there is one rule you cannot break: you must marry a partner of our choosing.” History was repeating

itself. Augus had no choice but to marry Arlene, which was why Cynthia became Arlene. Who did the

elders want her to marry now? Maja stiffened, her eyes wide with surprise. Beck quickly interjected.

“Grandpa, I’ve never heard of this rule?” Mr. Sanders lowered his lashes, his face serene, “I’ll have a

marry.” The older they got, the more the elders believed in these practices. They had already sensed

the relationship between Maja and Ian. They hadn’t expressed approval or disapproval, only the need

for this calculation. Whatever the outcome, it would be accepted. Maja was about to protest when a

warm hand took hold of hers. It was Ian, signaling her to avoid conflict for now, especially since the

outcome was still unknown. Moreover, the old couple’s reaction to seeing Ian’s face was off. They’d

been in seclusion for years—could they possibly know Ian? Unlikely. Devoted to their faith, they’d tuned

out from the outside world for over two decades. If not for the event, they likely would never have left

their island retreat. The authority of the elders was too great; not a soul in the room dared to oppose

them. Beck wanted to say more but was halted by Maja’s tug. Clearly, as long as the elders were
