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

Chapter 113

Couldn’t live past thirty-five?

Tammie had just turned thirty-two this year. If he couldn't live past thirty-five, didn't that mean he only had a few years left?

Hearing this, Wilma turned ashen as she clutched Anthea's hand, "Ms. Yeager! Please, you have to save Tammie!"

Anthea continued, "Madam, if we don't root out the traitor within, not even the greatest doctors could save Mr. Black."

Baily frowned slightly, "Ms. Yeager, are you suggesting there's a traitor in our family? Is Tammie's illness intentional?"

Anthea nodded. From the start, Anthea had felt there was something off about Tammie's illness. Because the condition was just too rare.

And after seeing Luna today, she was even more certain of her suspicions.

There was definitely something fishy about Luna!

It was then that Wilma also realized the gravity of the situation, her heart skipping a beat, "Who is out to harm Tammie?"

Anthea replied calmly, "After Mr. Black's mishap, whoever stands to gain the most is the traitor."

Wilma knitted her brows tightly.

Currently, there were only five members in the Black family. She and Baily would never harm their own child. That left only Luna and Paulina.

Baily also came to the same conclusion, "Could it be Luna and Paulina?"

Wilma turned pale at the thought.

One was her daughter-in-law, and the other her niece...

Could it be one of them?

Anthea continued, "Mrs. Black has no children of her own. Killing Mr. Black would bring her no advantage. Besides, if she wanted to harm Mr. Black, she wouldn't insist on using my prescriptions. Moreover, I can see in her eyes that she values Mr. Black more than her life."

It was clear Paulina was not the culprit.

"Then..." Wilma felt a chill run down her spine, "Could it be Luna?"

Anthea went on, "Ms. Lewis is your blood niece. If anything were to happen to Mr. Black, she would be the only kin you have left in this world. And if I'm not mistaken, Ms. Lewis must have been quite certain that Mr. Black was already dead, right?"

Wilma and Baily sank their hearts at her words.

Because Anthea was spot on.

Just earlier at the Black family, Luna kept insisting on offering condolences, as if she had deliberately led them to believe Tammie was already gone. Luna acted as if she had been prepared all along.

Plus, ever since Tammie got sick, they had indeed toyed with the idea of letting Luna take the reins of the Black Group. So just as Anthea had said, with Tammie's death, Luna would be the direct beneficiary.

"She was so young when she lost her parents, and I raised her with my hands! How could she do this to me? How could she do this to Tammie? I'm her aunt!" Wilma burst into tears.

Baily's face was taut, his eyes clouded with anger. Although he had no blood relation to Luna, he had treated her as his daughter.

How could she!

"A wolf in sheep's clothing can never be tamed," Anthea gently patted Wilma's back, comforting her, "Fortunately, Mr. Black is safe now. It's not worth it to grieve over Luna."

Despite Anthea's words, Wilma was still heartbroken. She couldn't understand why Luna had turned out this way. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"I'm going to confront her! I want to ask her why she would do such a thing to Tammie!" Wilma stormed out in a fury.
