From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 462

Violet shook her head. "He didn't mention a specific time, but he seemed to have a great impression of me. I think it will happen soon."

"Make sure you present yourself well when the time comes," Ileana advised.

"Don't worry," Violet replied with a confident smile. "I know exactly what to do."

Ileana nodded, her eyes gleaming with calculation. "That's good to hear."

......

Meanwhile, somewhere else.

Nanson was in high spirits. On his way home, he picked up a fried chicken and an ice-cold soda, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Just as he was approaching the apartment building, Carole returned from a nearby restaurant.

"Hey, sis!" Nanson greeted her with a cheerful hum.

Carole noticed the sparkle in Nanson's eyes. "Something good happened, didn’t it?"

Nanson pretended to be mysterious. "Take a guess, sis."

"Did you land a big contract?" Carole ventured, glancing at him.

"Nope," Nanson shook his head.

Carole looked at him thoughtfully. "Did you win the lottery?"

As they continued chatting and walking, they soon reached their apartment door. Nanson knocked, chuckling, "Wrong again. I haven't bought a lottery ticket in ages! Come on, sis, one more guess."

Nanson used to dream of striking it rich overnight and often bought lottery tickets. But since he took over QuickSend Parcels, he had focused all his energy on the business and stopped gambling on luck.

If it wasn't those, could it be...

Carole squinted at him. "You didn’t... start dating someone, did you?"

"Got it in one, sis!" Nanson laughed. "You’re as sharp as ever!"

Just then, Little White opened the door from inside.

Nanson handed him his shoes.

Nanson handed her a drumstick. "Absolutely real! How could I joke about something like this?"

"Uncle, how long have you known her?"

Nanson laughed. "You two sure love this question. We’ve been acquainted for almost three months."

Anthea frowned a little. "You’ve only known each other for less than three months and you’re already serious? Uncle, you’ve been burned once before; make sure you keep your eyes open this time."

The incident with Ileana had left Nanson heartbroken for quite some time. Now, after just three months, could he really know her background well enough? What if he was deceived again?

"Don’t worry, my dear niece. This time, I know I'm not wrong!" Nanson assured.

"Uncle, bad people don’t have 'bad' written on their foreheads," Anthea pointed out, taking a bite of the drumstick and placing her popsicle casually on the table.

Carole chimed in, "Annie makes a good point. Some people hide their true intentions very well. So, how did you two meet?"

Nanson recounted the story of meeting Violet, thumping his chest. "Sis, Annie, just trust me! Even though Violet and I have only known each other for a few months, she's not what you think! Once you meet her, you’ll see. I’m sure you'll like her right away! Violet has this warm, welcoming aura about her."

Nanson was convinced that Violet wasn’t driven by greed or deceit.
