To accomplish this, it was fundamental for him to get Anya admitted into the prestigious Eden Academy, so that she could get close to Donovan’s son, Damian.

Nonetheless, Anya did not make this task easy, as she had no interest in acting older, whichforced Becky to abandon her act and embrace her childhoodfor a moment. Seeing this caused Martha,the Blackbell’s butler who has an extremely tragic past, to smile.
