From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 541

"Oh." Adah's tone was flat, almost dismissive.

She still remembered all too well the day she and Karen had gone to the Morris family to discuss the engagement. Daly and Sandra had teamed up to humiliate both her and Karen, showing them nothing but contempt.
