From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 153

Samia stated her claim as if it were the most natural thing in the world, her heart not even skipping a beat.

"200 grand? That's pocket change for us these days!" Carole held up five fingers with a flourish.

Good heavens! Half a million! Samia's eyes glinted with envy.

Who would have thought that Yeager's Delicacies was raking in so much dough? But now, all that cash was hers for the taking.

"So you owe me 450 grand!"

Anthea crossed her arms defiantly, "We made half a million, sure. And there's a line out the door of our shop every single day. Business is booming! But you won't see a cent of it, Samia. How does that burn?"

Boiling with rage, Samia's face paled at the audacity of this little bitch standing up to her- it was simply unbelievable!

"Not giving me the money, huh? Just you wait! You'll regret this! I'm revoking your lease right this instant! You won't make another dime! I'm calling my niece right now to have her lease this place to me!"

Samia's niece was none other than Una.

She had the gall to demand cash from Anthea, relying solely on the fact that Una, at the property management, was her niece.

A word from her, and Una could snatch the shop back from them!

Anthea just watched Samia with an amused smile.

Samia had no idea that Anthea had already bought the place outright. Smugly she taunted, "What's it going to be? Now you see the consequences, right? Hand over the money if you know what's good for you. This money should've been ours to begin with! I'm already being generous letting you keep ten grand. Don't bite off more than you can chew!"

Playing along with Samia's theatrics, Anthea feigned terror, "Oh no! Please, do hurry and get Una to take back the lease!"

"Fine! Just you wait!" Seeing Anthea's apparent insolence, Samia didn't hold back. She whipped out her phone and dialed Una, "Hello, Una, it's your aunt..."

Whatever was said on the other end, Samia's expression morphed from triumph to rage, to disbelief, until a sheen of sweat coated her forehead.

Even her voice grew fainter.

She bought it! In her wildest dreams, Samia had not anticipated Anthea swooping in to buy all three of the properties.
