From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent ( Anthea ) novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 

Daniel glinted with scornful amusement as he said, “It’s a classic case of playing hard to get. my friend. She baits you with some fancy trick, piques your interest, and then vanishes into thin air, leaving you itching with curiosity. Just when you’re about to burst with anticipation. she’ll make her grand re–entrance!” 

In Daniel’s mind, a poser couldn’t make it to the big leagues. 

Compared to the sweet Rebecca, she’d never stoop to such tricks. 

Too bad. Sherman’s misunderstanding about Rebecca ran too deep. 

“Really?” Sherman squinted, a playful mole near his eye becoming more charming as he smirked. 

“Bet on it.” Daniel continued. “Sherman, just you wait. She’s bound to show up after tomorrow!” 

“And if she doesn’t after three days?” Sherman arched an eyebrow.

After polishing off a hamburger, Anthea didn’t head straight for a shower and bed. Instead, she sat at her desk, head bowed as she diligently worked on something. 

Her phone was right beside her. 

The screen was lit up, not with a game or a novel, but filled with foreign text. 

Moments later, Anthea set down her pen, picked up her phone and the paper she had been writing on, and used the formula she calculated to access another website. 

After several redirects, she finally landed on the site she’d been aiming for. 

“Got it!” Anthea flashed a triumphant smile and laid the notebook on the desk.

Such tech hubs also existed in Anthea’s original world, but this was a different dimension. altogether. 

Luckily, the essence of technology shared a common thread, and it didn’t take her long to track. down this network and successfully bypass the barriers. 

Anthea opened the registration page and created a new account. 

On the username field, she carefully typed: Phoenix–YC. 

The site was a melting pot of tech giants from across the globe. Anthea was fresh and unknown without any reputation, so no one was knocking on her door with big–ticket tasks. 

She then navigated to the forum.
