From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 192

[Damn! I swear, Becca’s appearance changed! Sitting next to Ann, she's like wallpaper...]

[What the heck happened? One minute, Becca's shining like a supernova, the next she's... bleh. I swear, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd think they'd switched her out or something...]

[I'm a hardcore Becca fan, or at least I was. I always thought she was the real deal, a host with solid values. But today? Total letdown.]

[As a former Becca maven, I owe an apology to Ann and her fans.]

[Can't Becca handle losing or what?]

[Suddenly realizing Becca's not all that! Was I blind? How could I have ever stanned someone like that?]

[I mean, I used to think Becca had class, but after today? Total disappointment. She can't take a loss, and she's all wishy-washy. She's got nothing on YC!]

[Unfollowing! Unfollowing!]

[Yeah, count me out too. I'm jumping off the Becca bandwagon as of now.]

[Goodbye!]

It wasn't just the folks at home who thought Becca had lost her beauty; even the people right there in the room could feel the shift. It was like watching a star lose its twinkle and fade into the dark sky. Just moments before, she could have been compared to Anthea, but now...

Daniel frowned slightly, puzzled. He'd admired Rebecca before, but now Becca just didn't dazzle him the same way. The looks from the crowd were like knives, cutting into Becca with every glance.

Becca wished she could just vanish into thin air.

Why did she have to be the one to embarrass herself? It should have been Anthea!

But there she was, having to suck it up and apologize to Anthea: "Sorry, my bad. I got it wrong, you didn't cheat."

Anthea offered a slight, cool smile. "You've been around, you know the score. You know what getting labeled a cheater would do to me. Maybe next time, you'll check the facts before you jump on the bandwagon..."

Becca bit her lip, fuming with resentment. She was supposed to be the winner tonight, not Anthea! It was Anthea who had stolen what was hers!
