From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 241

Stella took a sip of her coffee, her eyes clouding with disgust. “The Yeagers are at our door every day, looking for a handout. Even if we were loaded, we couldn’t bear this constant sponging! My mom felt sorry for Carole and set her up with a big-shot CEO, but can you believe it? Instead of being grateful, she let that good–for–nothing Anthea assault the guy! A bunch of ingrates!”

Rebecca nodded in agreement. “I see what you mean. They really don’t know when they’re well off! I noticed Mrs. Yeager’s been opening up a bunch of eateries, and I thought maybe your family had invested in her. From what you’re saying, that doesn’t seem to be

the case.

“Eateries?” Stella furrowed her brows. “You’re talking about Carole?”

“Yeah,” Rebecca continued, “Her place is over on Arcadia Avenue. It was booming before the holidays started–lines out the door every day! Plus, the Yeagers moved out of their dingy basement, and I heard Mrs. Yeager dropped a cool 2 million to buy that restaurant outright…”

Even Stella’s eyes widened in shock, and Sallie was flabbergasted.

2 million? What kind of money was that? Their entire family assets combined were worth only 3 million. Yet Carole had nonchalantly put forward 2 million.

Previously, Carole had been living in a dark and dreary basement. It was unbelievable!

“Rebecca, are you sure you haven’t got it wrong?” Sallie stirred her coffee absentmindedly.

She couldn’t even dream of eaming 2 million. How on earth did Carole make it? It must be… She got it from men, didn’t she?

Despite loathing Carole, she couldn’t deny that the woman was quite a looker. It was irritating!

Just the other day, Elaine Yeager tried to set her up with Irvin, and she had the nerve to say she wouldn’t be anyone’s mistress.
