From Sneers to Cheers Anthea's Ascent novel Chapter 20

"Adah, you forgot your cash!" Daly instructed the maid to deliver the money.

Adah glanced back with defiance, swearing for the first time. "We don't need your stinking money! Consider this cash as a head start on your funeral expenses!"

Daly couldn't help but burst into laughter, clapping his hands. "Well said! That's some spine!"

If the Christensens had swallowed their pride and shown a bit of humility, Daly might have been moved to mercy when they found themselves homeless, wandering the streets with no place to call their own.

But it seemed unnecessary!

They were a bunch of ingrates! From here on out, whatever happened to the Christensen family was of no concern to him.

Supporting Karen, Adah stepped outside.

A discreet minivan was parked at the curb, its license plate conspicuously absent.

Seeing Adah and Karen, the driver quickly got off and opened the door. "Lady Karen, Lady Adah."

Adah showed no emotion, stating, "Back to the mansion. And tell Laird there's no need to come."

"Laird and the guys are nearly here," the assistant in the front seat turned to inform.

The Christensen family had prepared many expensive gifts for this family alliance, dispatched directly from Capital City by the estate manager, Laird.

Judging by the timing, they were due to arrive today.

"Tell them to turn back."
