From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

12:33

“Scram!” Anthea shoved Elaine away with a force that caught her completely off guard.

Elaine, unprepared for Anthea’s strength, was flung to the floor.

Chaos erupted in the room.

Felton helped Elaine up.

“Dad, I’m cool,” Elaine said, “Let her make a fuss. I wanna see what she can pull off!”

The study’s door was bulletproof.

Not only was it soundproof, but it was also incredibly sturdy. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Not just Anthea, but even a group of bodyguards wouldn’t be able to break through unless someone inside opened it.

And then, a loud noise filled the air. It seemed as though the ground itself shook.

Everyone froze. No one expected Anthea to kick the door down.

“Ann!” Carole burst out from behind the door.

“Mom.” Anthea shielded Carole with her body.

Carole, disheveled with torn clothes and a scratch on her neck, looked utterly distressed.

Irvin followed, chasing after her. It was clear to any observer what had transpired.

“That bastard! How dare he lay a finger on Carole!” Nanson, eyes red with fury, charged in

to hit Irvin.

But the wiry Nanson, quick as lightning, was no match for Irvin. Not only did he fail to land a punch, but Irvin also grabbed him with one hand.

Irvin held Nanson aloft, his rage directed at Elaine, “Elaine! What the hell kind of job are you doing here?”

He was so close to closing a deal! And at this critical moment, it was rudely interrupted.

How could he not be furious?

Anthea just stood there, fists clenched, and then peeled off her cardigan to drape it over Carole, “Mom, wait for me a minute.”

At that moment, Carole was taken aback.

She had never seen Anthea like this before, radiating a chilling aura.

Before the crowd could react, another loud crash echoed, followed by cries of agony.

“Stop! Stop!”

the time everyone could see clearly, Irvin was on the ground, beaten by Anthes,

His already plump head had swollen to the size of a pumpkin.

Anthea stood over him, grinding his fingers beneath her shoe, “Who gave you the right to bully my mom?”

Irvin’s twlated features and wails were proof of his agony, “I won’t do it again! I swear I won’t…”

“And you lot!” Anthea turned her fierce gaze to the onlookers, “Who allowed you to mistreat my mom?”

Silence hung in the air without a sound.

No one had expected Anthea, deemed a nobody, to possess such skills, which not only broke down the door but also gave Irvin a thrashing.

It all happened too fast.

Carole, tears

in her eyes, tugged at Anthea’s sleeve, “Ann, let’s go home, please.”

She couldn’t bear another second in this place.

Only then did Anthea release Irvin.

Nanson quickly followed Anthea and Carole, and the crowd finally snapped out of their shock and rushed to help Irvin up.

Elaine, fuming to the point of explosion, blocked their

there! You better bring your disrespectful daughter fath and shouted, “Carole, stop right

apologize to Irvin this instant!”

That wretched Anthea had gone too far to even strike Irvin.

“Apologize?” Carole looked at Elaine as if she were a stranger, “Elaine! Have you lost all humanity? I’m your sister!”

“Shut up! I have no sister who brings me such shame! If you don’t find a way to make Irvin forgive you today, then from now on, we’re no longer sisters!”

Did Carole dare to sever ties with her?
