From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 309

Her true colors would show, and they were anything but pretty.

During that time, Alex was petrified of the approaching night. The darkness hid all the unsavory scenes. Olivia was among the victims. Olivia's severed fingers, her damaged voice—all were gifts from her.

"Alex! You'll get what's coming to you!" Lily roared with fury.

"You won't be around to see my comeuppance! But yours has already arrived." Alex's lips curved into a faint smile. "Even though Naylor is gone, rest assured, as long as I'm here, I'll make sure you spend your twilight years in comfort. You won't suffer!"

With that, Alex turned to Olivia, speaking softly, "I'll head back first, remember to take good care of her."

Olivia nodded, "Don't worry, I will."

The pain she had endured, she would return it a hundredfold, a thousandfold to this wretch!

As Alex walked away, he slipped off his gloves. Behind him, Lily's cries of agony filled the air.

The next morning.

Anthea was up early. After her jog, Carole Yeager had breakfast ready. "Annie, I didn't make porridge today. How about milk with oatmeal instead?"

"That's fine." Anthea nodded.

Carole served up some freshly fried dough sticks, calling out, "Nanson Yeager! Breakfast is ready!"

Anthea prepared the oatmeal. As mother and daughter sat down to eat, Nanson, yawning, emerged from the bathroom.

"I only got three hours of sleep last night, I'm dead tired! And I have to travel to City C the day after tomorrow!" Nanson's eyes were puffy, as he daydreamed, "Wouldn't it be nice if money just fell from the sky and landed on me!"

Anthea took a sip of her oatmeal, the crunchy oats blending perfectly with the creamy milk, delicious. Eating something so tasty in the morning lifted her spirits. She chimed in:

"Uncle, I might have a way to make your dream of money falling from the sky come true."

"Really?" Nanson's eyes sparkled with hope.

Anthea nodded, "You know I never lie."

Nanson skipped breakfast in his excitement, looking eagerly at Anthea, "What's the method?"
