On the phone call she received just now, Anthony only asked her to come to this place without really elaborating the reason.

At this moment, Maria found three people standing in front of Anthony. Two of them were dressed as bodyguards, while an old man stood in the middle.

The old man with silver hair was barely standing straight. He had to rely on his walking stick to keep his stance firm.

But the old man's eyes were very sharp. When he glanced at Maria from the corner of his eyes, the latter felt that her image had instantly been engraved in his memory.

At the same time, Maria recognized who the old man was.

“Mr. Smith, Let me introduce this Lady to you. This is Maria Jenkins, my fiancee."

Anthony immediately made a firm and bold statement.

However, he didn't bother introducing the old man to Maria.

Did he just forget? Or did he think that it was unnecessary? Nonetheless, Maria stood beside Anthony's wheelchair and bowed slightly to the old man.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith."

This old man, Mathias Smith, turned out to be the head of the Smith family in Broome, meaning he was also the father of Cory and Julie.

At a glance, Mathias looked ordinary. But beneath his frail-looking body, he was extremely powerful in the business world.

Mathias curled his Lips a little, smirking at the sight of Maria.

“I thought you would call me Grandpa."

Mathias’ voice was slow and hoarse. In fact, it was as if he could die at any time.

But seeing the composure of the old man in front of her, Maria could tell that he was actually healthy for the time being.

“Well, I'm just an adopted daughter," Maria answered calmly, trying to gauge how the old man viewed her.

Her simple words did not have a sense of inferiority, disappointment, or desire. She just simply stated a fact.

“Good.”

Mathias nodded, seeming to be satisfied with how Maria answered.
