From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 495

"I don't like my sister," Gerard bluntly refused.

Janet sighed. "Even if Grandma personally asked you?"

Gerard remained silent.

Silence was the best answer he could give.

Seeing Gerard's stubbornness, Janet tried to suppress her growing anger. She raised her hand, weary, and said, "You may leave now."

"Then I'll head back to my room," Gerard said, turning to walk out.

Janet watched his retreating figure and let out a deep sigh.

She hadn't raised him well.

She felt she owed Edna an apology.

The next day arrived quickly.

Jessica, bearing generous gifts, accompanied Edna and her daughter to visit the Lindsay estate.

Janet warmly welcomed them. "It's been ages, old friend."

"Yes, it has been," Jessica replied with a smile. "How have you been feeling lately?"

Janet led Jessica inside. "Thanks to Edna bringing me nourishing soup every day, I’m feeling much better than before."

This wasn't Jessica's first visit to the Lindsay estate.

Yet every time she visited, she couldn't help but be amazed.

Compared to the Lindsay's grand estate, the Fletcher family's small villa seemed more like a pigeon coop.

No wonder Edna was so determined to marry into the Lindsay family.

She had been biding her time.

Once she joined the Lindsays, she could then aim to marry Darleen into the Christensen family. At that point, she and her daughter would hold considerable influence over Capital City.

Janet instructed the staff to serve tea and replaced the server with a young girl. "Where's Delia? I haven't seen her."

"Delia isn't feeling well today."
