From Sneers to Cheers Anthea's Ascent novel Chapter 85

Having met Carole and her family, Karen felt completely at ease.

Carole wasn't the type to be dazzled by dollars.

So Karen didn't want to keep secrets any longer and she decided to come clean with Anthea.

If Anthea's families were the type to chase a quick buck, ready to trade Anthea’s happiness for a taste of glory, she would have Anthea's back!

She'd help Anthea break free from her family ties.

Anthea chuckled, "Mrs. Christensen, you must be kidding. By the way, where do you live? I'll call an Uber to drop you off."

Karen held Anthea's hand, "No need, my chauffeur will pick me up in a bit!"

Anthea paused. She hadn't taken her earlier comment about wealth seriously. Perhaps, was Karen’s family really loaded?

Karen continued, "Ann, let me tell you, we do own wealth! And my grandson is a real heartthrob! Won't you give him a chance?"

"Mrs. Christensen, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm still young. I just want to focus on my studies."

Karen replied, "Studying is one thing, dating is another. My grandson was a top-notch student. If you two start dating, he could tutor you and warm you. If you're ever upset, he could make you happy! It's a win-win!"

"Your grandson must have plenty of great girls after him."

"In my eyes, Ann, you're the best girl out there! No one else is good enough for my grandson!" In truth, Karen sometimes felt Sherman wasn't quite worthy of Anthea.

Sherman was just wealthy and good-looking, a scholarly type without much else to offer.

Young but so serious, he was always with his nose in a book!

Nearly thirty, he hadn't even held a girl's hand.
