From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent ( Anthea )
Chapter 339

Janet stood up and embraced Edna warmly. "Edna, I know you and Darleen only had Gerry's best interests at heart, so I've never held any grudges against you!" Edna scoffed inwardly.

What a hypocrite this old bat is!

If she truly harbored no resentment, she wouldn't have waited until now to reach out to her and Darleen. Clearly, she was upset! Luckily, Edna had already planned her next move. Janet stayed at the hospital until late before she finally left.

After Janet's departure, Darleen looked at Edna, worry etched on her face. "Mom, are you sure this will work?" The fear was still visible in her eyes from the recent events.

Edna was truly frightening.

Darleen's car accident was no accident.

It was Edna who had intentionally crashed into her. All to ensure she could marry into the Lindsay family, she was willing to do absolutely anything!

Edna sat beside the hospital bed. "Don't worry, that old lady has let go of her grievances."

After so many years of knowing Janet, no one understood her better than Edna. She took this risky step precisely because she knew Janet so well. If Darleen hadn't had the accident today, the issue with Gerard would have continued to be a thorn in Janet's side.

As it turned out, Edna's guess was spot on. Upon hearing about Darleen's accident, Janet not only forgave Darleen but also felt somewhat guilty. When she returned to the Lindsay household, she ordered the kitchen to prepare a bunch of nutritious meals to be sent to the hospital for Darleen.

It was now April, with the weather gradually warming up. Having been in Cloudcrest for so long without making a public appearance, Daniel decided to host a cocktail party at Cloudcrest's most exclusive members-only club.

For one, it was to network.

Secondly, Cloudcrest was a goldmine of high society beauties, none of whom were inferior to those in Capital City.

Daniel immediately thought of Rebecca.

His cocktail party wouldn't be complete without Rebecca.

By now, Daniel considered Rebecca his confidante.

Then, he thought of Anthea.

Anthea was his idol. If Anthea could attend the party, it would be perfect. Moreover, Anthea and Rebecca used to be close friends. Despite a misunderstanding between them, misunderstandings were meant to be resolved eventually. Both were exceptional individuals, and Daniel wanted to give them a chance to reconcile and become as close as they once were.

After setting the date for the party and finalizing the guest list, Daniel went to the Christensen Group to see Sherman. He brought up the party.

Sherman was always a bit of a recluse, and upon hearing the plan, he immediately said, "I'll pass."

"Not going?" Daniel was a bit disappointed. "Sherman, you're turning into a monk, avoiding all social events. You're not seriously considering joining a monastery, are you?"

Sherman remained silent.

Daniel continued, "Alright, if you won't go, I'll ask the big guy and Ms. Morris if they're interested."

Suddenly, Sherman looked up. "When and where?"

Daniel was confused. "What do you mean?"

"The time and place for the party," Sherman clarified.

Surprised, Daniel gave him the details.

Sherman nodded slightly. "Got it."

Daniel was curious about Sherman's sudden change of heart. Could it be... Because of Rebecca? After all, it was after he mentioned Rebecca that Sherman decided to attend!

Yes! It must be!
