“So, Anthea took my place and married him instead!” Rebecca thought.
She was determined to make Anthea experience the same suffering she endured in her past life!
With this thought, a glint of determination flashed in Rebecca's eyes as she spoke, "Hey Mom, Dad, I've got something I want to run by you."
"What's up?" her father, Daly, turned around.
"I'm going to drop off a gift at the Yeager's place, and I was hoping you could come with me, Mom," Rebecca continued.
"What? A gift for the Yeager family?" Sandra's eyes widened in disbelief, "You mean, at Carole's place?"
"Yeah," Rebecca nodded calmly.
Sandra was flabbergasted, "Rebecca, have you lost your mind?!"
That shameless Carole, who swapped her daughter and tormented Rebecca for years!
And now Rebecca wanted to give her a gift! That's madness!
"I'm perfectly sane, Mom." Rebecca assured her.
"Why though?" Sandra pressed on, "You know how Carole has treated you over the years. I'd feel like even killing her wouldn't be enough, and you want to give her a Christmas' gift?"
Instead of directly answering Sandra, Rebecca shifted the topic, "Mom, do you know the Peterson family?"
"The Petersons?" Sandra was confused for a moment.
Rebecca suppressed the fear in her heart, "The Peterson Group, Alex Peterson."
As the name dropped, Rebecca continued, "Alex is still unmarried..."
"You want Anthea to marry Alex?" Daly cut through Rebecca's thoughts with his blunt question.
Rebecca nodded affirmatively.
"The Petersons are high rollers here in Cloudcrest, and with Alex as the sole heir to the Peterson empire, he's already running the show at The Peterson Group. Not exactly on Mr. Christensen's level, but he's no slouch," Daly paused, then added, "Rebecca, I know you've got a heart of gold, but Anthea doesn't deserve your efforts."
