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

Sherman chuckled, "Hey sis, you needed something?"

It was then Yuna remembered the real reason for her call. "So, when are you guys planning to come back to Capital City?" "Probably around September," Sherman replied.

"September? So it's really happening, huh?" Yuna squinted her eyes.

"What do you mean 'really happening'?"

Yuna's face split into a mischievous grin. "I heard from grandma that she's found you a stunning bride, is that right?"

"Don't believe everything you hear," Sherman replied coolly.

Yuna continued, teasingly, "I also heard that my future sister-in-law is a knockout! A real head-turner, way out of Rebecca's league! Anyway, check this out, and this! I've got all these gifts ready for my future sister-in-law!" The video camera then focused on Yuna's vanity, piled high with presents.

"By the way, does my future sister-in-law have oily or dry skin? I'm planning to order a custom skincare set for her from overseas. I'm not sure what shade of lipstick she prefers, so I got every shade from DIOR and Armani's collections!"

"How about this ruby jewelry set? I got it at an auction specifically! It was once worn by a queen from Y Country! Red is such a flattering color. It'll look stunning on my future sister-in-law!"

Yuna's eyes practically sparkled with excitement.

It was as if she could already see her future sister-in-law.

She had wanted Karen to send her a photo of Anthea.

But Karen flat-out refused!

Claiming she was afraid of scaring her precious granddaughter-in-law!

As if!

Was she the sort to be tactless?

So, Yuna was left in suspense, having only heard about Anthea but never seen her.

Her curiosity was killing her, imagining what her future sister-in-law looked like, like a cat scratching at her heart!

Sherman watched Yuna's enthusiastic display through the screen, about to say something when Yuna cut him off, "You're not planning to back out of marriage, are you? Come on, say it! I'm recording! If you dare say it, I'll use this recording to haunt you forever! With your track record, you should be grateful someone's interested! Grandma said my future sister-in-law is fair-skinned and beautiful, a real-life angel! Look at you, a bachelor at 31, clueless about romance, a vegetarian, and against marriage! Aside from your looks, what do you have?"

"Don't even say you have money! What's money good for? Can it buy my smile?" Sherman: "..."

Seeing Sherman speechless, Yuna felt satisfied and steered the conversation back, "I was planning to get a diamond jewelry set for my future sister-in-law, but big sister has already prepared that!"

Sherman, the eternal bachelor at 31, was finally getting hitched.

The Christensen sisters were thrilled, each preparing lavish gifts. Now, they were just waiting for Karen and the rest to return. Everything was ready except for the bride herself.

Yuna looked at Sherman, "Can at least send me a photo of my

future sister-in-law? Just to

you

Sherman glanced at his watch, "I've got an important meeting. Can't chat now."

With that, he ended the video call.

Sherman knew his sister Yuna all too well.

Despite her strong persona and chattiness, unlike other powerful women, she was incredibly curious.

She could chat for days, even with the elderly ladies.

Frustrated at being hung up on, Yuna tried calling Sherman again.

[You are not friends with the recipient. Send a friend request?]

Yuna: "!!!" That little brother of hers was driving her mad.

...

At the Yeager household.

Anthea was bent over her desk, drawing something.

Just then, Little White's voice he

from outside, "Big Annie, there's

someone at the door. I don't

recognize them. Should I open it?"
