From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea )

Chapter 355

Seeing this, Anthea sighed and let Tanya be.

After Anthea left, Tanya continued grinding away at her study questions.

When Anthea emerged alone, Lizzie exclaimed in surprise, “Tanya's skipping lunch again today?"

Anthea nodded.

Lizzie said with admiration, "She's really going all in, isn't she?"

Anthea smiled. "She's aiming for Capital City University. She scored 523 on last week's practice test, still more than 80 points shy of Capital City's cutoff, so she's pushing herself hard."

Lizzie nodded, "Got it. Looks like I need to step up my game too. Let's all make it into our dream schools."

"We definitely will," Anthea said, full of confidence for the future.

Knowing that Anthea's big exams were just around the corner, Karen had gone out of her way to get a good luck charm from the local church to give to Anthea.

When Adah heard about it, she said, "Mom, can I come with you? I've never been to Annie's school."

Karen nodded, "Sure, let's go together."

They arrived just as school was letting out, and the sight of so many young students streaming out brought back their own school day memories. How quickly the years had passed.

Then Karen's eyes lit up, "Adah, look! There's Annie!"

Anthea, with her striking looks, stood out even in the standard school uniform, and Karen recognized her immediately.

"That's Annie!" Adah confirmed.

Karen boasted, “Annie is the granddaughter-in-law I chose myself. Such an image, such grace, truly stands out from the crowd! Amazing! My grandson is so lucky to have her."

Adah waved, "Annie! Over here!"

Rebecca had just stepped out of the school gate when she saw Karen and Adah waving at her.

She frowned slightly.

How annoying could they get?

Hadn't she made it clear before?

The engagement was off!

And yet here they were, looking for her.

As if a toad could lust after a swan's flesh!

Shameless!

"What do you want now? The engagement is off! What's the point of this?" Rebecca walked up to Karen and Adah, clearly annoyed. Adah was taken aback, "You're mistaken, we're not here for you!"

Karen pushed Adah aside, hands on her hips, and¶ashed out at Rebecca, "Are you sick? Who's looking for you? Look at yourself in the mirror! You're not even fit to wash my future granddaughter-in-law's feet! She's a thousand times, no, ten thousand times better than you!"

Rebecca had never been so publicly insulted since her return.

She trembled with rage.

"You crazy old woman! Say that again!"

Karen was defiant, "What if I do? You are sick! And delusional! Thinking you're a fairy when you look more like a tramp! It's hilarious!"

As Rebecca's face turned paler, Karen added fuel to the fire, "Go ahead, hit me! I dare you. Touch me

and I make you pay.

Rebecca held back her anger.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

This was the school entrance, crowded and visible. If she was seen hitting an elderly woman, her reputation would be ruined beyond redemption. "Mrs. Christensen! Adah!" Just then, Anthea came running out.

Rebecca glanced at Anthea, then back at Karen and Adah, her eyes flashing with scorn. Birds of a feather flock together! Lowly people only deserve to be with their own kind!

She didn't need to waste her time with them.

Rebecca turned and walked away.

Karen spat towards Rebecca's retreating figure, "Pah! Trash!"
