From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 368

Annie couldn't resist her Uncle Nathan's request and simply let him have his way.

From 9:30 to 11:30 in the morning, it was the comprehensive science exam. Then from 3:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon, it was the English test. To avoid bumping into Blythe, Caroline had opted for a different spot to wait for Annie today.

Finishing the last exam meant one thing: high school was truly over. As the students emerged from the examination halls, their faces were a mix of relief and a hint of unease. High school's end marked the end of their youth as well.

"Mom, Uncle!" Annie jogged out of the exam hall.

"Annie!" Nathan went straight for the usual question, "How did you do today?"

Grinning, Annie responded, "Pretty good, I think I might just snag the top spot in the city."

"Really? You serious?" Nathan was incredulously hopeful. Top of the city! Valedictorian! That's not something you claim lightly. It sounded a bit far-fetched!

Annie nodded confidently, "I've got a good feeling about it."

Laughing, Caroline added, "Alright, let's head home. To celebrate Annie wrapping up her exams, we're going out for a feast tonight!"

Since Caroline and Nathan hadn't experienced French cuisine before, Annie found a highly rated French restaurant online with a great ambiance.

After their meal, Nathan chuckled and said, "The food was great, though the portions were kinda small. Twenty-one courses and I barely got a taste before it was all gone."

Caroline nodded, "The portions are indeed small, but places like these are more about the service and atmosphere. The quantity and taste of the food come second."

"You're right, Mom," Annie said. "France is famous for its romance; it's a perfect spot for couples to dine. So, Uncle, you better step up your game!"

Nathan played along with a laugh, "Just you wait, by the end of the year, I'll bring you a new aunt."

Annie waved her phone, "I've got that on record, Uncle. We'll be waiting for you to bring back an aunt by year's end."

After the French dinner and a trip back home, it was past nine. After a shower, Annie started her live stream. Having not seen Annie for two days, her fans were ecstatic.

[Ah! Annie's back!]

[How did Annie do on her exams?]

"Don't worry, I won't disappoint you."

[User: ThorHammerStriker, sends a sports car!]

[User: Pupper, sends a sports car!]

What followed was a barrage of fireworks, smoke bombs, and gifts. Annie logged into her gaming account leisurely, "Let's start tonight's stream with some chess, then we'll move on to League of Legends."

No sooner had she announced her plan than a challenge popped up on her screen.
