From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 307

The night enveloped him entirely, shrouding his expressions in darkness. His voice was cold, "Well?"

"Ms. Yeager does have a scar on her arm."

"From a burn?" Alex inquired.

The maid shook her head, straining to recall the shape of the scar, "Doesn't look like a burn. More like a bite of some sort."

"Recent?"

Again, the maid shook her head, "No, it's not recent. Looks like it's been there for a while, but Ms. Yeager's fair skin makes the scar stand out."

"Alright, off you go," he dismissed her, then added, "I'll have the butler increase your salary."

"Thank you, sir!" The maid was overjoyed.

Having been with the Peterson family for so long, this was the first time she'd seen Alex offer a raise! If the others found out, they'd be green with envy.

Alex returned to Audrey's room. His expression remained unchanged.

Audrey looked back at Alex, "Alex, just spill it. What are you up to?"

Alex was taken aback, "I'm not sure what you mean, Grandma."

"All of a sudden, why did you have Lacy spill that potion on Annie?" Audrey continued, "Your real intention was to get Annie to change her clothes, wasn't it?"

"Grandma, you're overthinking it."

"Whether I am or not, you know very well," Audrey's gaze drifted to the door, "Alex, after all these years, can't you have a heart-to-heart with your grandmother?"

Though Alex was Audrey's grandson, Audrey never felt she truly understood him.

"Grandma, just focus on getting better, don't worry so much," Alex approached, tucking her in.

Soon after, Anthea walked in, having changed her clothes. Her pale green dress complemented her skin beautifully.
