Chapter 241
Stella took a sip of her coffee, her eyes clouding with disgust. "The Yeagers are at our door every day, looking for a handout. Even if we were loaded, we couldn't bear this constant sponging! My mom felt sorry for Carole and set her up with a big-shot CEO, but can you believe it? Instead of being grateful, she let that good-for-nothing Anthea assault the guy! A bunch of ingrates!"
Rebecca nodded in agreement. "I see what you mean. They really don't know when they're well off! I noticed Mrs. Yeager's been opening up a bunch of eateries, and I thought maybe your family had invested in her. From what you're saying, that doesn't seem to be the case."
"Eateries?" Stella furrowed her brows. "You're talking about Carole?"
"Yeah," Rebecca continued, "Her place is over on Arcadia Avenue. It was booming before the holidays started—lines out the door every day! Plus, the Yeagers moved out of their dingy basement, and I heard Mrs. Yeager dropped a cool 2 million to buy that restaurant outright..."
Even Stella's eyes widened in shock, and Sallie was flabbergasted.
2 million? What kind of money was that? Their entire family assets combined were worth only 3 million. Yet Carole had nonchalantly put forward 2 million.
Previously, Carole had been living in a dark and dreary basement. It was unbelievable!
"Rebecca, are you sure you haven't got it wrong?" Sallie stirred her coffee absentmindedly.
She couldn't even dream of earning 2 million. How on earth did Carole make it? It must be... She got it from men, didn't she?
Despite loathing Carole, she couldn't deny that the woman was quite a looker. It was irritating!
Just the other day, Elaine Yeager tried to set her up with Irvin, and she had the nerve to say she wouldn't be anyone's mistress.
And now look at her!
Rebecca went on, "It's not just Mrs. Yeager who's struck gold. Anthea is making a big fortune, too."
"What could that no-hoper possibly do?" Stella said with disdain.
Rebecca replied, "Anthea's turned into quite the streaming sensation. She's making a pretty penny every day.”
Stella sneered, “So, she's one of those streamers who flirts around a bunch of guys?”
Rebecca said, “It doesn't matter what kind of streamer she is, as long as it's bringing in cash."
"Shameless bitches!" Stella spat out. "Like mother, like daughter!"
In her mind, Carole had no shame, playing the other woman and giving birth to a love child.
And now Anthea was just as shameless. She was selling herself online! Disgusting!
Rebecca, gauging the sisters' reactions, added, "Anthea's streams can pull in three million a session! On her best night, she raked in ten million."
Stella's silver spoon dropped to the floor.
Ten million in one night? Sallie was equally startled.
She'd once earned a maximum of 100,000 in attorney fees for winning a big case.
She thought that was a fortune!
She was a lawyer, but Anthea was just an illegitimate daughter who knew nothing.
Why should Anthea earn ten million for doing nothing? Was it because of her face?
The heavens truly weren't fair!
Sallie felt a bitter taste in her mouth.
When they got home, the sisters told Elaine all about it.
Elaine immediately shared the news with Felton and Gemma.
Upon hearing this, Gemma was hopping mad. "The nerve! Now that she's got money, she forgets her own parents? We're still alive! She can't even bring a bit of meat home for the holidays! We're stuck here eating scraps while she's out there living the high life! If I had known, I would have strangled that ungrateful brat at birth!"
Felton was fuming too, taking a drag from his cigarette. "Elaine, is all this for real?"
Elaine nodded, pulling out her phone. "Look, these three storefronts—all Carole's! Dad, and they're not rented, she bought them. 2 million!"
2 million! Felton stared hard at Elaine, his pupils dilating.
The most money he'd ever seen in one place was 200,000. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
2 million? Good Lord!
They'd struck gold! Their family was on the rise!
