From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent ( Anthea )

Jenny felt a strong connection with Nanson right from the start.

It was undeniable.

And she was right.

Just two months in, and Nanson already felt a special bond with her.

It was evident in his eyes.

He had a soft spot for her.

Ileana continued, "Nanson's sister, Carole, and his niece are the apples of his eye. Winning him over is one thing, but winning over Carole and her daughter, that's where the real challenge lies."

Pausing for effect, she added, "Once you've got Carole's seal of approval, she'll put in a good word for you with Nanson, and you won't have anything to worry about! Carole's a sweetheart, really down-to-earth. It won't be hard to get on her good side." Nanson had mentioned Carole more than once.

Back then, Nanson was just a broke guy with big dreams.

From the way he spoke, it was clear he held Carole in high esteem.

Every time they went out for dinner, he'd always take home a doggy bag for Carole.

Even after making it big, Nanson never forgot Carole's kindness.

So, Jenny knew she had to win over Carole.

Nodding, Jenny said, "Got it."

Good people are usually big-hearted.

Jenny had charmed her share of tough cookies.

How hard could it be to charm a homemaker?

"And don't forget about Nanson's niece," Ileana added. "She's pretty sharp. Keep an eye on her."

Jenny smirked dismissively, "What does a teenager know anyway?"

Jenny wasn't worried about Anthea.

After all, she was thirty.

Was she really going to be outsmarted by a kid?

Ileana frowned, "Just don't underestimate her. Sometimes it's the ones you least expect that pose the greatest threat." It was adesson she learned the hard way.

Underestimating Nanson had been her biggest mistake.

Who would have thought the penniless guy would turn into the CEO of QuickSend Parcels? Ileana regretted letting him go.

If she hadn't dumped Nanson, she'd be his girlfriend now, not Jenny sneaking her way in. Jenny laughed, "Don't worry, Ileana. A kid's no match for me. I've dealt with far worse."

Considering Jenny's experiences, Ileana didn't press further. "As long as you know what you're doing. Just remember, until you and Nanson are legally bound, don't let anything slip!"

Jenny frowned, "Why wait for a marriage certificate? Just having his baby would do the trick. Would he really deny his own flesh and blood?"

Nanson was no spring chicken; he probably yearned for a child of his own.

Rather than waiting, why not fast-track to motherhood?

But Ileana immediately shot down the idea, "No, you can't do that!"

"Why not?" Jenny looked puzzled.

Ileana explained, "Nanson's quite old-fashioned, probably because of his sister's influence. He's against cohabitation before marriage. If you want to keep up the 'good girl' image, you can't get too intimate with him. Otherwise, all our efforts

Will be for nothing!"

Jenny was incredulous, "Really, Ileana? During all those years with him, you guys never...?"

Ileanan shook her head.

Jenny sighed, "I didn't expect Nanson to be such a stand-up guy!" In today's world, who else could show such restraint?

That remark stung Ileana. Nanson was once hers.

But not anymore.

Now, he was about to be Jenny's.

With that thought, Ileana said, "Jenny, congratulations. Soon, you'll be Mrs. QuickSend Parcels. Once Nanson commits, he's yours for life!"
