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

Five hundred dollars? That was so expensive!

The pharmacist chuckled, “Madam, there are a couple of high–end supplements in this prescription. Your cost is already a discounted rate.”

Discounted? That still seemed like highway robbery!

Carole was taken aback and quickly tugged at Anthea’s sleeve. “Ann, let’s bail on this. I’m doing. alright and don’t need this stuff. With a couple of days of rest, I’ll be as good as new.”

“If you’re not interested, no skin off my nose,” the pharmacist said, taking back the medicine.

Anthea patted Carole’s hand with a reassuring smile and faced the pharmacist, “We’ll take them. Here’s the cash.” As she spoke, Anthea pulled out the exact amount from her pocket and handed it over.

The pharmacist fed the bills into the cash counter, exactly five hundred dollars.

Carole was heartbroken, “Ann, I’m really fine!”

“Mom, money comes and goes, but you only live once,” Anthea said earnestly.

“Your daughter is right. How could five hundred dollars compared to your health?” the

pharmacist handed the supplements over to Carole. “Madam, you’ve raised a fine daughter!”

“Thank you,” Carole said, accepting the bag.

Leaving the pharmacy, Anthea then headed to the market.

She planned to buy some fresh fish and meat. Carole needed to build her strength.

At the Morris family.

Rebecca had been a heiress in her past life, so she adapted to the lavish lifestyle of the wealthy quite easily.

What she couldn’t get used to was the absence of Anthea, that infuriating bitch, from the Morris family.

In her previous life, Rebecca found some perverse pleasure in tormenting Anthea when boredom struck. Now, something felt amiss. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Lost in thought, a system notification beep echoed in her mind.

Rebecca quickly accessed the invisible control panel.

A profile appeared on the screen.

Daniel Robinson: a 28–year–old male, and the eldest son and heir to one of Capital City’s top ten families, the Robinson family, with a net worth in the billions.

“Got a photo of Daniel?” Rebecca squinted her eyes.

The screen shifted, revealing the image of a young man with striking features and an air of distinction.

Narrowing her eyes, Rebecca commanded, “Pull up Daniel’s recent schedule.”

The system obliged, displaying a detailed itinerary.

After scrutinizing the schedule, Rebecca sat at her vanity to get dolled up.

Though Daniel was prestigious, he wasn’t Rebecca’s ultimate goal but Mr. Christensen was.

According to the information, Daniel and Mr. Christensen were close friends.

Getting cozy with Daniel was a stepping stone to getting closer to Mr. Christensen.

Unfortul the system couldn’t access Mr. Christensen’s details. Otherwise, she wouldn’t

have to go through the trouble of wooing Daniel.

Outside a bustling shopping mall.

A group of suit–clad men surrounded a young figure, escorting him out.

Leading the pack was none other than Daniel.

As Daniel stepped out of the mall, he spotted a girl in a pristine white dress squatting nearby. beaming with a gentle smile, “Hey there, kiddo, how old are you?”

The girl was beautiful, the white dress immaculate, making her look like a flower in bloom.

Before her stood a scruffy little boy with a snot bubble at his nose. The girl in the white dress. didn’t seem to mind at all. She carefully cleaned his face with a tissue, her expression full of tenderness.

“Thank you,” the boy said politely with a grateful nod.
