From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 516

The Morris Family

Rebecca couldn’t tear her eyes away from her phone, anxiously waiting for a call.

Minute after minute ticked by, but her phone remained silent.

What’s going on?

It was already past two in the morning.

Could those guys have failed to get the job done?

Rebecca paced restlessly around her bedroom, worry etched across her face.

Could something have gone wrong?

Carole was just a middle-aged woman with no real strength to speak of, and Rebecca had specifically told Clara to bring eight men along for this. Surely nothing could have gone off track.

She just needed to wait quietly for the good news.

This time, she would make sure Carole and her daughter were utterly ruined in Cloudcrest. No one would ever look at them the same way again.

Thirty minutes later, Rebecca’s phone finally rang.

It was them.

They must have succeeded!

Rebecca’s eyes lit up. She grinned and hurriedly answered, “When are you sending me the photos?”

Whatever the person on the other end said, the blood drained from Rebecca’s face. Her smile froze, then crumbled into a furious snarl as she hurled the phone against the wall. “Useless! Every last one of you is worthless!”

Failure was never part of Rebecca’s plan.

And yet, Carole had escaped from eight men? How was that even possible?

She had been so sure this would be the final blow—Carole would be ruined, her reputation destroyed beyond repair. But now, all her plotting had come to nothing.

Rebecca’s features twisted in rage, her whole body trembling.

It was a long time before she finally yanked out the SIM card, tossed it into the toilet, and flushed it away.

Watching the card disappear, Rebecca narrowed her eyes.

Carole might have escaped by a stroke of luck this time, but next time, she wouldn’t be so fortunate.

“System, find out what Carole’s up to right now, and get me her schedule for the next few days!”

Silence. No response in her mind.

Rebecca bit her lip, only then remembering—the system was gone.

When would it come back?

No. She couldn’t lose the system. She absolutely couldn’t!
