From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 151

“You little bitch, you wouldn't call me senior before, but chose to do so right after my defeat.

Wasn't this a deliberate attempt to embarrass me?” Rebecca cursed inwardly, “Just you wait! I’m going to make you suffer.”

Rebecca maintained her gentle smile until the live stream ended.

Jack timed his entrance perfectly at the end of the broadcast, clapping his hands and announcing, “In honor of Rebecca's triumphant first day back, we're knocking off early! Dinner’s on me—we’re hitting up Joe's Crab Shack for some lobsters!”

Silence fell upon the room while everyone exchanged awkward glances.

Rebecca’s expression darkened terrifyingly.

Carey sidled up to Jack, tugging at his sleeve.

“What’s wrong?” Jack asked, puzzled. Weren’t early knock-offs and lobsters something to cheer about?

Carey whispered, “Ms. Morris lost.”

“What?” Jack was stunned. It hadn't even occurred to him that Rebecca could lose!

“You lost to Griffin?” Jack queried.

Carey nodded.

Jack's face was a picture of shock.

How could this be? Rebecca was so formidable; how could she possibly lose?

It took a moment for Jack to gather his thoughts before he approached Rebecca with concern. “Rebecca, are you feeling alright?”

Rebecca didn’t answer Jack directly but instead said, “I suspect Griffin was cheating.”

Rebecca had a system to help her! There was no way Griffin could outdo the system!

So, there was only one explanation - Griffin was cheating!

Yes! That had to be it!

Jack narrowed his eyes, “You might be onto something.” Although Griffin was a decent player, in Jack's mind, Rebecca was top tier! And Rebecca was a grandmaster—how could she possibly lose to a nobody?

If this wasn’t cheating, what was?

Rebecca continued, “Not just cheating, I think Griffin’s also a freak! Just like that Snow White from before, why else would she hide her face?”

Snow White was a well-known streamer.

Even more popular than Griffin, she never showed her face, claiming to be a beauty, maintaining an air of mystery.
