From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Just then, it seemed as if an idea suddenly struck Daly. "Rebecca, don't you know

Alex? He invited you to Audrey's party last time. How about..."

Alex rarely made appearances in social circles.

At 29, he was still single.

Rebecca was the first woman Alex had personally invited anywhere.

This indicated that Alex had a special interest in Rebecca.

Find Alex?

Rebecca frowned slightly. Seeking out Alex felt like walking straight into a trap.

However, Daly's suggestion sparked another thought in her mind.

Besides Alex, she could reach out to Daniel Robinson!

In her haste, she had completely forgotten about Daniel as a stepping stone.

Daniel saw her as a confidante and would surely lend a helping hand.

With this thought, Rebecca's lips curled into a small smile. "Dad, I can go see Mr. Robinson!"

"Mr. Robinson?" Daly asked, puzzled. "Which Mr. Robinson are you talking about?"

Rebecca continued, "The one from the Capital City."

Daly's eyes widened in disbelief. "Rebecca, are you talking about Mr. Christensen's associate, Mr. Robinson?"

"Yes, that's the one," Rebecca nodded.
