From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent ( Anthea ) novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188 

The air was thick with anticipation, every eye in the room swiveling to the entrance. The buzz of curiosity was palpable as they all wondered just what Griffin looked like. 

Could she possibly be the next Snow White? 

But the backlighting obscured her features, presenting only a striking silhouette. 

Rebecca watched as the figure drew closer, her mind racing. 

Was this Griffin? Why did she feel as though she knew that silhouette? 

Was she seeing things? It had to be. 

How could she know a cheater, a jester in the court of life? 

A smirk curled at the edges of Rebecca’s lips. Griffin certainly had nerve, showing up at the gala.

When Sherman, who had been resting with closed eyes, caught sight of her, a subtle smile touched his lips. 

It was really her. 

Fiddling with his cufflinks, his deep eyes betrayed nothing of his thoughts. 

Daniel, on the other hand, was stunned into silence. Staring at Griffin, disbelief plastered across his face. He rubbed his eyes, suspecting a trick of the light.

What other secrets did she hold? 

Doniel swallowed hard, emotions tangled within him. 

Rebecca’s pupils dilated as she processed the revelation. 

Anthea? Anthea was Griffin? Griffin was Antheat 

But when had Anthea learned to play chess? Why had she changed so much recently? Had Anthea been rebom as well? 

A chilling thought crossed Rebecca’s mind.
