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.

"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.

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.

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.
