From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 529

A good girl?

Rebecca? You’re really calling Rebecca a good girl?

Karen felt like Daniel was about to give her a heart attack.

“Would you just shut your mouth already? Everything you say is worse than garbage! If you can’t speak like a normal person, then don’t speak at all! I honestly don’t get it—Keith Robinson and Jake Robinson are both smart men. How did someone as dense as you end up in the Robinson family? You absolute idiot!”

Keith Robinson was Daniel’s grandfather, and Jake was his father.

Karen didn’t even pause for breath before continuing, “That shameless Rebecca? Even if she came crawling to us, the Christensen family wouldn’t take her! She can dream of marrying into our family—not in this life, or the next, or ever. Not in a million lifetimes!”

Watching Karen ramble on and misunderstand Rebecca so badly, Daniel felt genuinely miserable.

Who knows what Sherman had been saying to Karen behind his back?

People get confused when they get older, he supposed.

What a shame—he’d always thought Karen was reasonable.

But now, it was obvious she was totally blinded by her own bias.

Daniel struggled to keep his emotions in check. “Mrs. Christensen, the whole broken engagement thing was just a misunderstanding. Ms. Morris is truly a wonderful young woman. Honestly, there isn’t anyone else in the world who deserves Sherman more than she does.”

Karen, already fuming, only grew angrier at his words. “My granddaughter-in-law Ann is leagues ahead of Rebecca! Rebecca isn’t even fit to tie Ann’s shoes. You must be blind! You good-for-nothing brat, you’re going to be the death of me! Apologize right now, or I’ll never forgive you!”

Because of the whole Middle East incident, Karen really didn’t want to stoop to Daniel’s level.

“Ann?” Daniel narrowed his eyes. “You mean Anthea, right?”

Karen’s mood softened—if only a little—at the mention of Anthea. “Exactly! Ann is my granddaughter-in-law. You know her too, don’t you?”

So that’s what this was all about.

No wonder Sherman tried to pin the racing fiasco on Anthea.

In that instant, any fondness Daniel had for Anthea vanished.

He’d thought she was different from other girls.
