From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 278

"Annie, can you do some digging for me on Cindy?" Lizzie asked.

Anthea nodded in agreement.

It didn't take long before Anthea unearthed all the information on Cindy.

Cindy.

Female.

45 years old.

Her husband had been bedridden for years, and she had a son studying abroad.

Tanya frowned and said, "Holy shit! This lady is six years older than your dad! No wonder she looks past her prime! Your dad sure has some... unique tastes!"

Lizzie felt sick to her stomach!

Anthea raised an eyebrow. "Unique is one way to put it."

Taking a deep breath, Lizzie said, "Annie, thanks for today. I know what I need to do now."

"What are you planning?" Tanya asked.

Lizzie replied, "I'm going to ensure my dad walks away with nothing!"

She had decided that the marriage between her parents had to end!

Even if her mother wanted to salvage the marriage, she would persuade them to divorce!

"It's good to see you've figured it out, Lizzie," Tanya said, wrapping her arms around Lizzie. "Keep your chin up. There's always a rainbow after the storm, and Annie and I have got your back. Just holler if you need us."

Anthea nodded slightly, "Tanya's right. If you are in any trouble, we're here for you."

"Thanks," Lizzie said with a small smile.

For the first time, she truly understood the value of having friends’ support when the going got tough.

...

Back at home, Gina was still bustling around the supermarket.

While watching her mother, Lizzie's heart ached.

Gina worked hard to provide for the family, while Malcolm squandered her hard-earned money on another woman.

It was ridiculous.

"Mom," Lizzie said, trying to keep her emotions in check as she approached Gina.

"Lizzie, you’re back," Gina said, arranging items on the shelves.

"Where's Dad?" Lizzie asked.

Gina's brow furrowed, sensing something off with her daughter. "What's with you lately, always asking about your father? He's out stocking up on supplies."
