From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 405

The whole town was buzzing about Anthea's achievements, and even Principal Johnson made a point of meeting her in person.

This alone was testament to Anthea's extraordinary capabilities.

I mean, how often do you see the principal paying such attention to a single student?

Tanya nodded in agreement, "Mom, I have every faith in Annie!"

Lizzie chimed in, "Auntie, don't you worry! Annie never bites off more than she can chew."

However, Hank was riddled with doubts.

Firstly, due to Anthea's youthful age.

Secondly, because she was Tanya's classmate, still in her senior year of high school.

Could she really pull it off?

On the drive home, he shared his concerns with Jane.

"Henry, I know you're worried about Tanya, but given her condition, even though we're all fighting to find a cure, deep down we know it's a tough battle. Now, if there's someone claiming they can make a difference, why not give her a chance? What if Tanya actually gets better? Believing in her gives us a glimpse of hope. Besides, I doubt anyone would joke about something so serious. If Anthea had no confidence in her abilities, she wouldn't make such bold claims. It'd have no meaning for her," Jane reasoned.

Deception usually serves a purpose of gain.

But for Anthea, there was no apparent gain.

So, why would she deceive anyone?

Jane was convinced of Anthea's sincerity.

Suddenly, Jane remembered something, "Oh, and that classmate of Tanya's, she topped the science stream in the national college entrance exams! Scored a 749 out of 800! Can you believe it?"

"Anthea aced the college entrance exam?" Hank couldn't hide his astonishment.

Jane nodded, pulling up her phone, "There were interviews with her a few days back. Look, here's one now. Oh, and Yeager's Delicacies, that's Anthea's mom's diner. Ever since Anthea topped the exams, they've been calling it the 'Top Scholar's Diner'. Business is booming like never before!"

Seeing the news on Jane's phone left Hank speechless.

A top scholar!
