From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent ( Anthea )
Chapter 460

Violet was eager to meet Carole Yeager soon.

She wanted to win Carole over.

To earn Carole's approval.

Nanson was quite a catch, and she was well aware of how many young women were eager to catch his eye. If she didn't act fast, he might be swept away by some cunning rival.

Though Violet was beautiful and carried herself with elegance, she couldn't deny that age was not on her side compared to the younger women.

Just last night, she noticed the first signs of crow's feet appearing.

Nanson continued, “My sister is really easy to get along with, so don't worry. I'll take you to meet her as soon as I can."

Violet, with her striking looks and charming personality, was someone Nanson was sure Carole would absolutely adore.

“Alright,” Violet nodded. "I'll wait for you."

“Oh, and this is for you too.” Nanson pulled out a jewelry box.

Violet, curious, asked, "What is it?"

Nanson lifted the lid, “I picked out this necklace for you at the mall. See if you like it.”

It was a silver platinum necklace from a renowned international brand. It must have cost a small fortune.

Violet, no stranger to the finer things, recognized the brand immediately and quickly refused, "Nanson, we've just started seeing each other. I can't accept something so expensive!”

Accepting such a pricey gift on their first day might make her seem materialistic. Refusing it was the only way to win Nanson's favor.

Nanson looked at Violet earnestly, "This is the first present I'm giving you, and no matter the cost, it's a token of my affection. I hope you'll accept it."

Violet thought for a moment before replying, "If you really want to give me a gift, I'd like to choose it myself.” “Sure, where would you like to go?" Nanson agreed.

"Just follow me." Violet stood up.

Nanson quickly fell into step beside her.

They got into the car, and Violet directed Nanson as the navigator.

In no time, they arrived at a bustling street market.

“Nanson, park over there, and I'll wait here," Violet said as she stepped out of the car.

"Alright." Nanson nodded.

Violet waited patiently, and soon Nanson returned.

Together, they strolled into the lively market.

Violet seemed quite familiar with the area, clearly not her first time there.

Nanson was surprised, "I didn't expect you to enjoy street markets."

He had assumed that someone like Violet, with her sophisticated tastes, would avoid such places.

It seemed he was wrong.

Violet was even more remarkable than he had imagined.

Violet laughed, “Actually, I prefer these markets over high-end malls.”

Who wouldn't enjoy visiting luxury malls?

During her years working in nightlife, Violet had managed to save some money.

Her guilty pleasure was indulging in a shopping spree, relishing the compliments from salespeople.

If not for putting on a show for Nanson, she wouldn't have chosen a street market.

Violet stopped at a small stall and

"It looks great," Nanson nodded.

Violet smiled, “Alright, I'll take this one then."

Hearing this, the stall owner enthusiastically chimed in, "You've got a good eye! This is our bestseller this year, very trendy and hard to replace online!" Swnovel

"How much?" Violet asked.

“98 bucks, and it's sterling silver," the stall owner replied.

Violet turned to Nanson, “Well, what are you waiting for? Pay up."

Pay up?

Nanson was taken aback.

He had expected Violet to drag him to a mall to pick something herself.

Instead, she chose a humble piece from a street stall.

In that moment, his admiration for Violet doubled.

Women like Violet, who weren't materialistic, were truly a rarity these days.

Nanson paid for the necklace.

Violet handed it to him, "Help me put it on."

“Of course.” Nanson nodded, taking the necklace and fastening it around her neck.

Despite the necklace's rough quality,
