In Alicia and Mae's eyes, Anthea was a complete fool who was totally at their mercy.
Otherwise, why would she have always been in their shadow?
Mae couldn't even be bothered to pretend anymore, her voice dripping with sarcasm, "Ann, remember to stock up on more makeup tomorrow! Alicia and I have some other errands, goodbye."
"Sure," Anthea nodded slightly.
Watching Mae and Alicia walk away, a hint of a smile played upon Anthea.
Anthea once didn't believe in the windfall. But now, she did.
Alicia and Mae had just visited the Morris' manor. They couldn't wait to share Anthea's latest misfortune with Rebecca.
"Guess who Mae and I bumped into?" Alicia said with a smirk.
"Who?" Rebecca lifted an eyelid indifferently.
"It was Anthea! Can you believe what that shameless bitch was doing? She was actually cleaning up at a food stall! You should've seen how pitiful she looked!" Alicia said with delight.
Rebecca, previously disinterested, perked up at this, a sneer forming on her face, "Really?"
"Yes, really!" Alicia continued, "She was wearing the uniform and we even said hi to her! Same old dummy as always!"
Mae chimed in, "She's always been a fool to usurp others’ belongings and can't hold a candle to Rebecca! Rebecca is like a princess, while Anthea is not even worth the mud under our shoes."
"Anthea is, after all, my sister. Maybe we should pay her a visit," Rebecca suggested, her eyes glinting with calculation.
Anthea's downfall would make her grateful for any help just like in the past, leaving her at Rebecca's mercy.
"Let's make it tomorrow night?" Mae suggested.
Rebecca nodded, "Sounds good."
The next morning, Anthea was up early for her run as usual, dressed in a simple white blouse, her hair flowing, her flawless face expressionless but radiant with a hint of chill.
