From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 405

This alone was testament to Anthea's extraordinary capabilities.

Tanya nodded in agreement, "Mom, I have every faith in Annie!"

Lizzie chimed in, "Auntie, don't you worry! Annie never bites off more than she can chew."

Secondly, because she was Tanya's classmate, still in her senior year of high school.

Now, if there's someone claiming they can make a difference, why not give her a chance? What if Tanya actually gets better? Believing in her gives us a glimpse of hope.
