From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 493

Darleen not only refrained from gossiping but even advised her not to blame Gerard.

Edna said, "Janet, I've known Gerry since he was a little boy. I understand his nature better than anyone. He would never bully a girl! It must be Darleen's fault in the first place. I've spoiled Darleen rotten!"

Seeing Edna being so understanding and taking all the blame upon Darleen, Janet felt quite guilty.

She had always prided herself on raising Gerard well.

This year, he topped the exams and became the highest-scoring arts student in the entire city, earning her immense pride.

But unfortunately, that was just a facade.

In terms of upbringing, he was nowhere near Darleen.

Apart from academics, Gerard couldn't compare to Darleen in any other aspect.

Janet now only regretted not having given Gerard, when he was still a baby, to Edna to raise.

But what use is regret now?

Janet sighed, "It's my fault for spoiling Gerry! It has nothing to do with Darleen. Edna, don't blame the kids unnecessarily in the future!"

Edna chuckled, "Gerry has always been such a good boy, unlike Darleen! That wild child!"

Darleen pouted in dissatisfaction.

Janet hugged Darleen and said, "Our Darleen is not a wild child!"
