From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 327

Delia quickly stepped forward, her voice filled with urgency, "Grandma, this mess is actually my fault! I was passing by young master Gerry's room and saw these items. I didn't realize they were baking flour! I'm so sorry!"

But honestly, who could really be blamed here?

If not for Janet's own skepticism!

After all, if she couldn't trust her own grandson, how could she expect others to?

Delia's words, layered with meaning, suggested that Janet needed to reflect on herself. This incident wasn’t anyone else's fault.

Edna, seeing the hesitation in Janet's eyes, took Darleen's hand and said, "Janet, I know you have a soft spot for Darleen, but she was out of line today, stirring up trouble and leading you to misunderstand Gerry. I'll take Darleen, and we'll find Gerry. You can count on us!"

With that, Edna and Darleen turned to leave.

Edna half-expected Janet to call them back.

But she didn’t.

From start to finish, Janet didn’t utter a word of protest.

It was clear now.

In this old lady's heart, they mattered less than Gerard.

A cold smirk played on Edna's lips.

So, her years of dedication meant less to Janet than a teenage boy.

How ludicrous!

Laughable, even!

Outside, Darleen frowned, "Mom, do we really have to go looking for him?"

"What else can we do?"

"But Capital City is so vast, where do we even start?"

Edna opened the car door, "Let's get in the car first."

As they drove, Edna explained, "Darleen, we've got to clear the air with the old lady. We have to make an effort to find Gerard, even if it seems impossible."

She had waited years for a foothold in the Lindsay family and wouldn't let Gerard ruin it.

She was determined to claim her place as the matriarch of the Lindsay family.

Darleen nodded in agreement.

After they left, Janet hurried downstairs, calling the butler to ask about Gerard.

"Ma'am, we haven't found the young master yet, but there's no need to worry. We'll find him," the butler reassured.
