From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 445

Daly had just witnessed Rebecca's capabilities and was thoroughly convinced of her talents. He approached her, clapping a hand on her shoulder, "Rebecca, darling! Your old man has full faith in you! I'm sure you'll bring glory to the Morris Group. So, when are we heading over to AY Tech?"

Rebecca replied, "Leave the arrangements to me, Dad. You use this money to tide over the crisis for now. We can't afford to lose our cool!"

Rebecca's bank account boasted over twenty million dollars.

Though not a staggering amount, it was sufficient to address their immediate concerns.

The rest, they would leave up to AY Tech.

Daly nodded, "Alright then, I'll head to the office right away."

Meanwhile, at the Christensen Group.

Sherman was reviewing documents at his desk when a knock sounded on the door.

"Come in," he called, without looking up.

"Mr. Christensen," said the secretary as he entered.

"Speak," Sherman urged, his words brief.

Standing respectfully before the desk, the secretary continued, "Mr. Christensen, I've found the two individuals you asked about."

Sherman frowned slightly, closing the file in front of him to look at the secretary, "And who might these individuals be?"

"They are operatives under Alex," the secretary disclosed.

"Alex?" Sherman's eyes narrowed at the mention.

He recalled the last encounter with Alex at a gala, where Alex had presented Anthea with a gift. The image of the two together irked him deeply.

"What's Alex's agenda?"

"The operatives were assigned by Alex to ensure Ms. Yeager's safety," the secretary elaborated.

Sherman clenched the pen in his hand, "Alright, that's all I needed to know. You may leave."

As the secretary bowed slightly and exited, Sherman's brows remained furrowed.

Alex was a character of particularly dark disposition, unpredictable in his moods. Just two days shy of his adulthood, he had personally taken his father's life!
