From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 377

After wrapping up some business at the company, Nanson turned on his smartphone, eager to share the good news with Violet. That's when he saw the message from Gerard.

Opening the message, Nanson let out a sigh. Poor kid. Born into wealth, yet motherless from a young age.

"Gerry, I'm sure your mom would be over the moon to hear about this! She must've had her reasons for leaving you; never stop looking for her, I believe a mother and son reunion is bound to happen someday."

"Oh, and guess what? My great-niece's results are out too! She aced the science department at Cloudcrest!"

Gerard replied swiftly, "Congratulations, Mr. Yeager! Guess we'll be seeing each other in Capital City then."

"Capital City it is!"

"[Gift]"

Gerard paused at the digital gift Nanson sent. Following up, Nanson messaged, "Just a little something to celebrate you topping the arts and my great-niece excelling in the sciences."

Gerard accepted the gift. $66.6. A number filled with meaning.

"Thanks, Mr. Yeager. Next time you're in Capital City, dinner's on me."

"Sounds good."

Nanson then went on to share the joy with Violet.

...

Anthea was helping out at the diner when she walked in to a chorus of congratulations, "Annie, way to go!"

"Annie, you're a genius! Topping our city in science? How do you do it?"

Anthea, puzzled, wondered what they were on about. Top scorer? She had aced the science department? Weren't her results still pending?

Diners, overhearing the conversation, looked up in curiosity, "So this is Cloudcrest's little prodigy!"

She was indeed a sight to behold. Word spread like wildfire, and soon, every patron in the diner had their eyes on Anthea, admiration shining through.

"It's been years since Cloudcrest had a top scorer from our own city. You've really made us proud, little prodigy!"

Taking it all in, Anthea managed a thanks before heading upstairs to check her results online. Just as she booted up her laptop, her phone rang. It was her teacher, Mr. Waldron.
