If it weren''t for her, the entire Wright family would have toppled over like a house of cards.
Yes, she was nothing short of a guardian angel for the Wrights.
Forget a business deal, if she fancied the stars in the sky, the Wrights n would find a way to pluck
them down for her.
A glint of determination sparkled in Reba''s eyes, her lips curling into a sly smile.
Daly turned to Reba, "You outshine your brothers by miles, Reba. Our Morris family is going
to be resting on your shoulders."
Just imagine - the day Reba bes Mrs. Christensen, that''s when the real glory days for their
family will kick in.
Daly had his reservations, wondering if Reba could really snag Mr. Christensen.
After all, he was a man who seemed to live in the stratosphere.
But now, it seemed like his daughter had hit a new high, gracing the skies even more spectacrly
than a shooting star!
Mr. Christensen would be on his knees before her in no time.
Then Daly would be Mr. Christensen''s father-inw, and half of the Christensen Group''s wealth
would fall into theirp!
Once Reba bore a child and cemented her position, the Christensen empire would be at the
Morris family''s fingertips.
The more Daly thought about it, the more his heart raced with excitement.
Sandra breezed in with a tray of coffee, "What are you two chatting about so cheerfully? Here, have
a sip."
Reba took a sip of her coffee.
Daly exined to Sandra what was going on.
Hearing that Reba was the savior Kendrick had been desperately seeking, Sandra was even
more thrilled than Daly.
She had just caught wind of Kendrick''s plight in thedies'' circle today.
Little did she know, her daughter was the heroine of the hour!
If those society matrons caught wind of this, they''d be green with envy! Soon, she''d be the queen
bee of the elite circle.
Those who looked down on her woulde crawling, begging for her favor.
Sandra was grinning from ear to ear; she had always known that her daughter was anything but
ordinary.
One day she was going to soar to incredible heights!
"Good thing we called off that engagement with the Christensen family. That washed-up bunch
couldn''t possibly be worthy of my daughter!" Sandra added, "Speaking of which, are the
Christensens still in Cloudcrest? We can''t let them see Reba now. What if theytch onto us,
knowing she''s Kendrick''s lifesaver?"

The likes of the Christensen family would stoop to anything, shameless as they were.
Sandra felt nauseous just thinking about thest time the Christensen matriarch and Adah Bowman
came knocking, proposing marriage.
That ancient engagement, and they had the nerve to take it seriously!
"They''re broke, penniless. Even if they wanted to leave, they couldn''t," Reba chimed in. "Last
time I saw that Christensen hag, she was begging on the streets!"
"Really?" Sandra gasped in surprise.
The Christensens used to be the toast of Cloudcrest, and now they had fallen so low!
Sandra''s surprise was tinged with a sense of triumph.
They used to look up to the Christensens, constantly trying to please them, even promising their
unborn daughter. Now, the tables had turned.
Reba nodded, "I saw it with my own eyes. How could it be false?"
If the Christensens hadn''t fallen into ruin, why would Karen Christensen be dressed in rags?
The image of Karen, disheveled and pitiful by the street that night, shed before Reba''s eyes.
Daly squinted thoughtfully, "Just keep your distance from them, Reba. The Christensen family is
no longer on our level."
"You don''t need to tell me that, I''m well aware," Reba replied.
Having been given a second chance at life, she was determined to wear the heaviest crown and
marry the most noble man.
Otherwise, what was the point of her second chance?
That''s precisely why, just like in her previous life, she broke off the engagement with the
Christensen family as soon as she returned.
Last time, her mistake was marrying the wrong man, ruining her life.
This time, she would not falter.
“Anthea became more dazzling by the day, huh?” she thought.
