From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 519

If this ever got out, it wouldn't just ruin her parents' reputation—it would destroy any chance she had of marrying Mr. Christensen.

No. Absolutely not.

Right now, she had no choice but to swallow her pain and pretend nothing had happened.

"Well, since Ms. Morris isn't calling the police, we'll be on our way," one of the men said, as they and their friends began pulling on their clothes.

Rebecca sat on the edge of the bed, silent and numb.

An hour later.

Rebecca finally emerged from the motel, her body aching, a constant reminder of what she had endured the night before.

Among those five men, the oldest had to be in his fifties-maybe even sixties.

Not even in her previous life had Rebecca ever suffered such humiliation.

It was the middle of August, hot and stifling outside, but Rebecca felt frozen to the bone.

Anthea.

It had to be that vile woman, Anthea, who'd set this up.

That wretched woman!

Rebecca's whole body trembled.

She would get revenge. She would pay Anthea back a thousand times over for what she had suffered tonight.

Disoriented and shattered, Rebecca made her way home to the Morris family estate.

As soon as she stepped inside, Daly rushed toward her. "Rebecca, you're back! Did Mr. Robinson agree to help us?"

He was in such a panic he didn't even notice the swelling on her face.
