From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Violet was eager to meet Carole Yeager soon.

She wanted to win Carole over.

To earn Carole's approval.

Nanson was quite a catch, and she was well aware of how many young women were eager to catch his eye. If she didn't act fast, he might be swept away by some cunning rival.

Though Violet was beautiful and carried herself with elegance, she couldn't deny that age was not on her side compared to the younger women.

Just last night, she noticed the first signs of crow's feet appearing.

Nanson continued, “My sister is really easy to get along with, so don't worry. I'll take you to meet her as soon as I can."

Violet, with her striking looks and charming personality, was someone Nanson was sure Carole would absolutely adore.

“Alright,” Violet nodded. "I'll wait for you."

“Oh, and this is for you too.” Nanson pulled out a jewelry box.

Violet, curious, asked, "What is it?"

Nanson lifted the lid, “I picked out this necklace for you at the mall. See if you like it.”

It was a silver platinum necklace from a renowned international brand. It must have cost a small fortune.

Violet, no stranger to the finer things, recognized the brand immediately and quickly refused, "Nanson, we've just started seeing each other. I can't accept something so expensive!”

Accepting such a pricey gift on their first day might make her seem materialistic. Refusing it was the only way to win Nanson's favor.

Nanson looked at Violet earnestly, "This is the first present I'm giving you, and no matter the cost, it's a token of my affection. I hope you'll accept it."
