From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 17

The Morris family was on an upswing while the Christensen family was sinking like a ship. Wouldn’t it be a raw deal if Rebecca still decided to marry into the Christensens?

How could their precious daughter marry a poor guy?

But calling off the engagement would be a gossip feast for the town.

While Daly and Sandra were fretting over it, Rebecca strolled by. “Mom, Dad, why the long

Sandra sighed and recounted the situation to Rebecca.

Rebecca frowned slightly. “Shame on the Christensen family, coveting what they can’t have.”

She was a dazzling phoenix. There was no way she was tying the knot with a nobody this time around!

A nearly broke family, and they still wanted to marry her off? As if!

That was a pipe dream!
