From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 276

Cheating was an unforgivable sin, especially when it was someone like Malcolm who did it time and time again.

To let him walk away with nothing would be letting him off too easy.

After all, Lizzie's mom, Gina, had given nearly two decades of her best years.

Hearing that, Lizzie looked up at Anthea, stunned.

Divorce?

Since discovering her father’s infidelity, the thought of her parents splitting up had never crossed her mind.

She still harbored hopes of winning back her father. "Annie..."

Anthea continued, "Lizzie, can you tell us about Gina?"

Lizzie nodded, tears brimming as she spoke of her mother.

No one knew Gina better than her daughter.

As Lizzie spoke, her sorrow deepened.

Gina had devoted her prime years to Malcolm, and Malcolm had betrayed her as she approached her twilight years.

There could be no greater tragedy.

"That jerk!" Tanya slammed her hand on the table, unable to suppress her rage. "He's nothing but scum! A man like that doesn't deserve to be your dad! And he sure as hell doesn't deserve your mom!"

Tanya was genuinely furious.

How was Malcolm any different from those typical bad guys in old tales?

And poor Gina was still in the dark.

Realizing she may have gone too far, Tanya quickly added, "Lizzie, I'm angry at the situation, not at you. Don't take it personally!"
