From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 340

The more Daniel thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't believe that Sherman, usually so stoic and indifferent toward Rebecca, actually cared about her deeply. Otherwise, he would never have agreed to attend the cocktail party this time! So, it was clear Sherman decided to go to the party for Rebecca.

After leaving the Christensen Group office, Daniel personally went to invite Rebecca to join him at the cocktail party. Rebecca was thrilled to receive Daniel's invitation. A party hosted by Daniel was bound to have Mr. Christensen in attendance. This time, she was determined to reclaim the dignity she lost at the RealTimeFlow anniversary gala. After all, Cloudcrest was her domain! She was going to make Mr. Christensen fall madly in love with her, to the point where he wouldn't consider anyone else. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Rebecca's lips curved into a confident smirk.

After finalizing plans with Rebecca, Daniel reached out to Anthea. He didn't have Anthea's contact on any social media platforms, so he had to message her on GlobalGigaNet, "Hey, you there?"

"What's up?" Anthea was online, busy with some tasks.

"I'm throwing a private cocktail party and I'd love for you to come!"

Anthea hesitated. Parties weren't really her thing. Seeing Anthea's silence, Daniel played his trump card, "Hey, I've invited a Michelin three-star pastry chef to make desserts on-site!"

At the last RealTimeFlow anniversary gala, Daniel noticed Anthea's love for desserts. That night, she devoured over a dozen pieces of dessert, leaving Daniel in awe. Most girls, keen on maintaining their figures, would steer clear of sweets. But Anthea seemed to defy that logic, indulging as if there were no consequences.

Sure enough, upon reading Daniel's message, Anthea quickly typed back, "Send me the details."

A Michelin three-star pastry chef. This sounded promising! Anthea squinted, already imagining the tiramisu, chocolate mousse, frostings, and pecan brownies waving at her.

Upon receiving Anthea's reply, Daniel breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sent over the details. The cocktail party was set at an exclusive hotel in Cloudcrest, scheduled for Saturday evening at six.

Tomorrow was Wednesday, and Anthea had school to attend. With the college entrance exams approaching, the atmosphere in class was tense. Every desk was piled high with study materials, the most noticeable being "Three Years of College Entrance Exam, Five Years of Mock Tests." The countdown to the college entrance exams was written on the blackboard: 38 days left.

As the exams drew nearer, the online polls became more heated. Currently, over 3000 people were rooting for Rebecca. And Anthea? She barely had over 1000 supporters. No one believed Anthea could achieve outstanding results in the exams.

Northbridge High School's top heartthrob posted, "If Anthea scores higher than Rebecca, I'll live stream myself eating a cell phone!"

Sily, a known cynic, commented, "Eating a cell phone? Please, she won't even score 100 in total! If she beats Rebecca, I'll live stream myself eating shit!"

"Team Yeager all the way! Our girl Yeager doesn't cheat, and she's too proud to even consider it!" another user added.

"I just saw Anthea's past grades in Mr. Bain's office. All six subjects combined, she scored a total of 52! The regular class must be full of blind followers, completely brainwashed by Anthea," chimed in another.

"Everyone has a past, right? Can't we acknowledge Yeager's efforts?" defended one.

"Total score of 52, and she's aiming to be the top of the grade? If effort was all it took, then there wouldn't be any underachievers in our school. Just admit to cheating, why don't you? Cheaters and their enablers, shame on them!" another criticized.

"Annie, do these people have nothing better to do? Accusing you of cheating? As if! They're just jealous," Tanya fumed, her face flushed with anger as she clutched her phone. "I'm going to screenshot everyone who said they'd eat shit or a cell phone. When the exam results come out, I'll make them eat their words!"
