From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Sadness quickly enveloped Luna as she murmured, “Tammie was so young, how are Wilma and Baily going to bear this…”

Tammie had been in the prime of his life. Such an outstanding guy! It was such a tragic loss! Thinking so, the butler sighed, “I’ll go upstairs to inform Wilma and Baily.*

Luna nodded and hurried back to her room to slip into a somber black dress, wiping away her makeup.

Tammie was gone. She needed to look appropriately grief–stricken.

By the time she descended the stairs, Wilma and Baily were already there.

Wilma was weeping uncontrollably on Baily’s shoulder, “Tammie! My poor baby! It’s all that hussy Paulina’s fault! If she hadn’t fed my son all those crazy pills, how could my boy have…!”

Baily seemed more composed than Wilma, but his eyes were red–rimmed too, “Wilma, let’s not jump to conclusions. Paulina doesn’t strike me as that kind of person and she didn’t say for sure that something happened to Tammie over the phone! Let’s find out what’s going on before we lose our heads.”

Luna, with a choked voice, approached them, “Please accept my condolences! Now that Tammie is gone, the family is relying on you. Tammie was taken from us unjustly! He’s still waiting for you to avenge him!”

Hearing Luna’s words, Baily crumbled a little more. Could it be Tammie really was in

trouble?

Wilma, twisted by grief, exclaimed, “If something’s happened to Tammie, I’ll make that bitch Paulina pay with her life!”

Luna cried bitterly, “Not just Paulina, but that useless Anthea too! What does she know about medicine? It was her and Paulina who killed Tammie! Tammie’s death was wrongful, you must seek justice for him!”

Since Anthea was showing signs of trying to turn over a new leaf, Luna was determined to ensure Anthea would never rise again.

Being tainted with a death, Anthea would likely face a lifetime behind bars.

Rebecca might not care about Anthea, but that didn’t mean Luna was indifferent.

Luna was meticulous in her thinking and wouldn’t let anyone who could threaten their future off the hook.

With her and Rebecca in charge, Cloudcrest would eventually be theirs for the taking!

“Yes! And Anthea! Those wretches! They will pay for Tammie’s life!”

They rushed to the house where Tammie and Paulina had been living.

The villa’s gate was closed, and not a soul was in sight.

The doorman was gone. The bodyguards were absent.

It was eerily silent.

This only confirmed Luna’s suspicions.

Luna turned to Wilma and Baily with a hoarse voice, “Could Paulina have run off?”

“That bitch! After all the love Tammie showed her! He was devoted to her and this is how she repays him! She must have run off with a fortune!”

Baily darkened his face. He had always thought of Paulina as a good girl, a suitable wife for Tammie, which was why he hadn’t intervened when she insisted on giving Tammie those medications.

He believed Paulina would never harm Tammie.

But now, after all these years, to realize he had been so mistaken!

If he had known it would end like this, he never would have allowed Paulina to medicate

Tammie.

Baily kicked the villa’s gate with force.

As the gate burst open, it seemed like something exploded overhead.

Countless petals began to fall from the sky, creating a cascading shower of flowers.

At the other end of the gate stood two figures.
