From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 505

MistyWorld: [Raine, I support you! And YR too! Cheering for you both!]

The forum instantly exploded with heated debate.

Apart from members of the Phoenix family, everyone else seemed to be waiting for Anthea to make a fool of herself.

At the Tech Summit Global.

Mason strolled over, grinning as he wedged himself between Anthea and Rebecca. He leaned toward Anthea and said, “I figured you might know YR, so I made sure your seats were together. Makes it easier for you two to catch up.”

It was almost laughable, really.

Most people had assumed the two were either father and daughter, or maybe even grandfather and granddaughter…

No one expected them to actually be friends.

Definitely not sisters, though.

Because, honestly, their looks weren’t even on the same playing field.

Rebecca glanced up at Mason and noticed the “Team A Research Department” badge pinned to his chest. She forced herself to speak, though her voice trembled. “She… She’s Phoenix—YC?”

Mason nodded, oblivious to her distress. “Of course! You mean you don’t know Boss YC?”

Boom.

Rebecca’s mind went completely blank.

It was true.

Anthea really was Phoenix—YC.

And when she remembered that the invitation she’d received had come from Anthea…

Rebecca suddenly found it hard to breathe.

She wanted nothing more than to find a hole and crawl into it.

Humiliation burned in her chest.

God, this was excruciating.

Which meant, back when someone was investigating her, it might have been Anthea as well.

Why would Anthea do that?

Was it just to humiliate her?

What a bitch.

Anthea was a bitch, through and through.

“Miss Re, it’s been a while.” Anthea offered her hand with a dazzling, almost mocking smile.

Rebecca accepted it, forcing a brittle grin. Even as Anthea’s lips curled upward, Rebecca could see the scorn flickering in her eyes.
