From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 355

Seeing this, Anthea sighed and let Tanya be.

After Anthea left, Tanya continued grinding away at her study questions.

When Anthea emerged alone, Lizzie exclaimed in surprise, “Tanya's skipping lunch again today?”

Anthea nodded.

Lizzie said with admiration, “She’s really going all in, isn’t she?”

Anthea smiled. “She's aiming for Capital City University. She scored 523 on last week's practice test, still more than 80 points shy of Capital City’s cutoff, so she's pushing herself hard.”

Lizzie nodded, “Got it. Looks like I need to step up my game too. Let's all make it into our dream schools.”

“We definitely will,” Anthea said, full of confidence for the future.

Knowing that Anthea’s big exams were just around the corner, Karen had gone out of her way to get a good luck charm from the local church to give to Anthea.

When Adah heard about it, she said, “Mom, can I come with you? I've never been to Annie's school.”

Karen nodded, “Sure, let’s go together.”

They arrived just as school was letting out, and the sight of so many young students streaming out brought back their own school day memories.

How quickly the years had passed.

Then Karen’s eyes lit up, “Adah, look! There’s Annie!”

Anthea, with her striking looks, stood out even in the standard school uniform, and Karen recognized her immediately.

“That’s Annie!” Adah confirmed.

Karen boasted, “Annie is the granddaughter-in-law I chose myself. Such an image, such grace, truly stands out from the crowd! Amazing! My grandson is so lucky to have her.”

Adah waved, “Annie! Over here!”

Rebecca had just stepped out of the school gate when she saw Karen and Adah waving at her.

She frowned slightly.
