From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 316

Chapter 316

Anthea stood there with a snake in her grasp, its tail wrapped tightly around her arm, its black and white patterns starkly visible. It was a sight that could send shivers down one's spine. Yet, there wasn't a hint of fear on her face. She was as calm as if she were holding a piece of rope instead of a live snake.

"Ann, you're amazing!" Karen gave Anthea a thumbs-up, proud of her choice in a granddaughter-in-law. "With that courage and skill, who could match up? Forget Rebecca! Not even a hundred Rebeccas could measure up to a single finger of her granddaughter-in-law." Thinking of Rebecca's future regret made Karen's heart swell with joy. She couldn't wait to announce to the world that Anthea was her chosen one. But alas, it wasn't time yet. She had to wait a little longer.

Adah was in awe, looking at Anthea with pure admiration. She had never imagined Anthea wouldn't be scared of a snake! Karen had planned other heroic rescues, but they seemed unnecessary now. Anthea didn't need protecting at all!
