From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 95

Carole, a single mother, found herself in a pickle with a good-for-nothing ex and a gambler brother. Without a solid rock to lean on, she had no choice but to swallow her pride and turn to her families for help.

So Saul wasn't the least bit worried as he said to his mom, "Just wait and see. I'll count down from seven, and she'll be running back to us."

With that, he started counting backward.

But as he neared the end of his countdown, Carole showed no sign of turning back.

Elaine furrowed her brow with concern and couldn't let Carole disrupt Hancock's well-laid plans.

She quickly grabbed her phone and sent out a message.

Just as Carole opened the door to the study, she bumped right into Irvin.

Irvin was a hulking man, and Carole instinctively stumbled several steps backward.

"Carole," Irvin leered at her, his gaze undressing her on the spot.

Elaine approached with a smile, "Carole, we'll give you and Irvin all the time and space you need. Have a good chat."

With that, she ushered everyone out of the study.

"Elaine!" Carole sensed trouble and grabbed Elaine's hand.

Elaine passed Carole's hand to Irvin, "Irvin, take good care of my sister."

In Elaine's eyes, Carole was just playing coy. Since Carole was too shy to take the plunge, Elaine decided to give her a little nudge.

She wanted to see Carole and Irvin's relationship set in stone.

"Will do!" Irvin grabbed Carole's hand firmly, "Carole, relax, I may look tough, but I'm a teddy bear at heart. Let's step inside and get to know each other better."

Irvin was genuinely pleased with Carole.

She was beautiful with a great figure, far surpassing any of the mistresses he'd had before.

Now that both the Lyons family and the Yeager family had given their blessing, he didn't have to hold back anymore. He was raring to go.
