Chapter 87
Carole was brazenly bringing her daughter her for humiliation.
Elaine’s disdain was barely concealed as she faintly ushered Carole, along with Nanson and Anthea inside.
“Carole and Nanson have come over.”
The living room couch was lined with family members.
There sat Carole’s parents, Felton and Gemma as well as Carole’s another sister, Susan.
Speaking of which, Felton and Gemma were quite an interesting pair of parents.
Among their five children, their favorite was undoubtedly their second son, Saul.
Then came their eldest daughter, Elaine.
Elaine had married well, which meant she could help out her family financially.
Indeed, Elaine wielded considerable influence in the Yeager family and her say was nearly law which all matters.
Even Saul, the favored son, played second fiddle to Elaine.
Upon hearing Elaine’s announcement. Felton and Gemma showed no particular emotion. They didn’t even lift their eyelids, a clear sign of their indifference towards Carole and Nanson..
Nanson greeted coolly. His grievances with his parents were nothing new.
The favoritism of his childhood was bad enough, but being kicked out at seventeen because Saul needed a house for his wedding was the last straw.
With nowhere else to turn, Nanson had sought refuge with Carole..
When the family property was divided, yielding four houses, Felton and Gemma kept them all for Saul.
Sometimes Nanson wondered if he was related by blood.
Nanson’s resentment was mirrored by Felton and Gemma’s disdain for him. In their eyes,
Nanson and Carole were the family disappointments.
Nanson had been a troublemaker and a poor student, dropping out to work odd jobs. Now, past thirty, he was still unmarried!
Carole, well, was another story.
As the most beautiful girl in the family, Carole was expected by her parents to marry into a good family and support them in their old age. Instead, Carole had shocked them all by getting pregnant out of wedlock, staining their reputation.
Carole too called out greetings, then introduced Anthea, “Ann, this is your grandpa and
grandma. This is your Aunt Susann
Anthea greeted them one by one.
Felton and Gemma responded tepidy, not even bothering to smile at Anthea
Aunt Susan, however, beated at Carole. “Candle your daughter sure is a locker! How’s she doing in school?”
Before they arrived. Susan had heard that Cardle’s daughter couldn’t hold a candle to Rebecca the outstanding pupil and class leader
Anthea could barely read
Like mother, like daughter.
In this case, it seemed no amount of wery could change a person’s nature.
Susan now regretted not treating Rebecca better when she was just her niece. Had she known Rebecca was to be the heress of a wealthy family, she would have worshipced her!
But it was all too late.
At the mention of academic achievement, Blare couldn’t help but wear a smug expression. Her daughters, after all were both academic aces
grandma. This is your Aunt Susan.”
Anthea greeted them one by one.
Fetton and Gemma responded tepidly, not even bothering to smile at Anthea.
Aunt Susan, however, beamed at Carole, “Carole, your daughter sure is a looker! How’s she doing in school?”
Before they arrived, Susan had heard that Carole’s daughter couldn’t hold a candle to Rebecca, the outstanding pupil and class leader.
Anthea could barely read!
