From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87 

Carole was brazenly bringing her daughter her for humiliation

Elaine’s disdain was barely concealed as she faintly ushered Carole, along with Nanson and Anthea inside

Carole and Nanson have come over.” 

The living room couch was lined with family members

There sat Carole’s parents, Felton and Gemma as well as Carole’s another sister, Susan

Speaking of which, Felton and Gemma were quite an interesting pair of parents

Among their five children, their favorite was undoubtedly their second son, Saul

Then came their eldest daughter, Elaine

Elaine had married well, which meant she could help out her family financially

Indeed, Elaine wielded considerable influence in the Yeager family and her say was nearly law which all matters

Even Saul, the favored son, played second fiddle to Elaine

Upon hearing Elaine’s announcement. Felton and Gemma showed no particular emotion. They didn’t even lift their eyelids, a clear sign of their indifference towards Carole and Nanson.. 

Nanson greeted coolly. His grievances with his parents were nothing new

The favoritism of his childhood was bad enough, but being kicked out at seventeen because Saul needed a house for his wedding was the last straw

With nowhere else to turn, Nanson had sought refuge with Carole.. 

When the family property was divided, yielding four houses, Felton and Gemma kept them all for Saul

Sometimes Nanson wondered if he was related by blood

Nanson’s resentment was mirrored by Felton and Gemma’s disdain for him. In their eyes

Nanson and Carole were the family disappointments

Nanson had been a troublemaker and a poor student, dropping out to work odd jobs. Now, past thirty, he was still unmarried

Carole, well, was another story

As the most beautiful girl in the family, Carole was expected by her parents to marry into a good family and support them in their old age. Instead, Carole had shocked them all by getting pregnant out of wedlock, staining their reputation

Carole too called out greetings, then introduced Anthea, Ann, this is your grandpa and

grandma. This is your Aunt Susann 

Anthea greeted them one by one

Felton and Gemma responded tepidy, not even bothering to smile at Anthea 

Aunt Susan, however, beated at Carole. Candle your daughter sure is a locker! How’s she doing in school?” 

Before they arrived. Susan had heard that Cardle’s daughter couldn’t hold a candle to Rebecca the outstanding pupil and class leader 

Anthea could barely read 

Like mother, like daughter

In this case, it seemed no amount of wery could change a person’s nature

Susan now regretted not treating Rebecca better when she was just her niece. Had she known Rebecca was to be the heress of a wealthy family, she would have worshipced her

But it was all too late

At the mention of academic achievement, Blare couldn’t help but wear a smug expression. Her daughters, after all were both academic aces 

grandma. This is your Aunt Susan.”
