High School: Way to Forever
Chapter 187: Insulting Chris and his friends!

"We welcome you all to the crowning ceremony of my granddaughter." Grandfather Walker held the mic in his hand and said it in an authoritative tone.

Till now, the veil was lifted off her face as she clearly looked at her surroundings and at the guests. She can see Chris standing in front of everyone proudly.

'What is he proud of even!?'Anna felt like cutting him this smirk right now and there. It was such an eyesore to her eyes.

"I'm very grateful that each one of you took out some time for this event from your precious time. As we all know we, Walkers, are very practiced about choosing her heir." Grandfather said to everyone as most of them nodded their head.

"Till now, no girl is crowned in our family. But this time by God's grace, our so old tradition is going to break as this time my granddaughter, Sierra Walker will be the one to carry out our legacy."

Anna closed her eyes. Sierra Walker…

Sierra was none other than Anna herself. It was her real name which she hid out three years ago. To safeguard her identity well, she took this name, Anna which was given to her by someone her beloved.

"She has proven herself in every field to us. I have never seen eve a man doing so well the way she did. Yes, for us she is a gem and we are proud of her." Anna had digested her being called out by Anna or Sierra both. She passed a warm smile to her grandfather and then her face turned to an expressionless face again while facing the crowd.

She knew it very well that the first impression is the last impression. If she gave each one of them the impression that she is an easy-going person, they might use it at their advantage and might think of her as a weak person because she is a girl!

Anna did not want this to happen. She wants every one of them to respect her the way they do to her father and grandfather. Though Anna knew this very well that she has to earn this respect herself but it was still one of her goals.

"The ceremony will start in the next hour. Till now, you guys can catch up with each other. Thank you."

Wait! Was not the ceremony going to hold this very moment!? Then why is it pushed a little forward!? Anna was confused but she was not the only one to hold this expression. Even Liam did not understand the meaning of his father's words.

"Dad, what are you doing?" Liam tried to ask but all he received was a pat on his back to wait.

This time, Chris came forward to Anna. He greeted her parents first and they replied just in a nod. Marrie never liked Chris in the first place so she never tried to be friendly with him as a son-in-law.

"Sierra, let us go and meet some people. They are my business partners and as we know it will be announced soon that we are engaged, it is obvious you should know them." Though Anna was reluctant at first then she felt a tight grip on her arm.

Chris was not asking for her permission but giving her order. It was not a request, just a way to show a little respect in front of everyone. But Anna doubted if it was even respected.

Anna reluctantly and after so many thoughts, took his arm and walked with him towards some of his business partners.

Anna knew two of them. They were also as young as Chris and were also friends of her late brother, Seb. But Anna never intended to make them her friends as she knew how cunning they are. But in this situation, after she takes over the business anna will have to face them in the business world.

"Nice to see you, Ms. Walker."Greeted Charles. He intended to kiss her hand but was stopped by Chris's sharp glare. Well, he never liked it when someone touches her. But Anna found it rude as this was a normal way of greetings then why is he creating so much fuss over it?

"Sierra, they are my friends Charles as well as Leo. You can assume us all to his childhood friends too."A short and brief introduction which Anna found was understandable.

"Oh Ms. Walker, I shall congratulate you on your ceremony. After all, this is the first time in history and I'm witnessing it with my own eyes. It's surely my pleasure." This time, Leo spoke gently.

"Thank you." Was all Anna said. A sign or royalty is to speak only when it is required.

Anna had listened to it well that Leo was a gentleman, to begin with, whereas Charles was nothing but a playboy and mostly known for his flirtings. Well, Chris was a combination of both of them, Player as well as sharp with his mind.

'His friends are also like him.' Anna thought and controlled her urge to roll her eyes.

"Ms. Walker, you must be interested to know that I and Chris share everything since childhood. Whether it is toys, guns, or anything else." The meaning behind Charles's words was clear. Through his words, he meant to say that Chris will give him Anna too if he asks for it.

But Anna pitied them because they have not seen his real form. The real demon Chris! Who is super possessive about his belongings. Did not they just saw how he gave him the glare just when Charles was going to kiss her!?

Anna knew this time she has to answer. The words he said were a humiliation for her. And Anna knew how to stand up for herself.

"Mr. Charles, do you guys also share each other's wealth also?" Anna simply asked him with confidence.

But Charles found this funny. He laughed at her question as if he had listened to the joke of the day. "Hahaha... No no. We do not share each other's money."

"Oh, I thought as you both share each and everything then you might have shared each other's private parts too. Sorry for my words, but now I really doubt your preference. Are you both husband and wife as you both share each and everything as a couple?"
