From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 498

Anthea was completely unaware of the buzz surrounding her on the forum.

She was busy with her tasks when suddenly a message popped up on her screen.

A: "Hey there, with the Tech Summit Global just around the corner, could I add you on WhatsApp? We’d like to arrange for someone to pick you up from the airport."

Juggling tasks with one hand, Anthea replied with ease, "Sure, send me your WhatsApp number."

A: "How about I add you instead?"

Anthea sent over her number. To keep her online life organized, she had recently set up a new account.

Soon enough, the contact request was accepted.

"Hello, I’m Mason," came the message.

"Great, see you in Capital City," Anthea responded.

Meanwhile, Mason, holding his phone, eagerly opened Anthea’s profile. To his surprise, it was blank—no posts, no personal information.

Curious, Mason turned to Eugene, who was sitting nearby. "Do you think the boss might actually be some middle-aged man?"

Eugene frowned slightly, "Or perhaps an older gentleman."

"What?" Mason was wide-eyed, "Could they really be that old?"

Eugene chuckled, "How old is Dr. Varn now?"

Mason had a moment of realization. In the tech world, notable figures often had years of experience under their belts. Dr. Varn only became famous at 46. The tech giants at Pellonia were no spring chickens either. Research and innovation take time and dedication.

So, it seemed logical that Boss YC might be an older person.

Elsewhere, a video was causing a stir in the racing community.

Filmed at a local driving school, it featured someone performing breathtaking maneuvers with a standard training car. The video quickly garnered over a million likes.

"This is incredible! I want to learn from this driver!" exclaimed a young man, visibly excited after watching the clip.

A tattooed youth nearby turned to him, "Seriously, Mr. Holt? You want to be his student? His stunts are impressive, sure, but aren’t they within our reach?"

The young man, Hector Holt, was the heir to the Holt family in Capital City and a racing enthusiast. He had recently made headlines by defeating professional racers to claim the top spot at the last racing championship, earning the moniker "The Rising Star."

Yet here he was, eager to learn from another.

Hector replied, "Look at the car he’s using. Can you pull off those moves with a basic training car?"

The tattooed youth was taken aback. Indeed, he had overlooked a critical detail. The driver in the video was using a standard training car, devoid of the enhancements professional race cars boast. Yet, not only did they execute high-difficulty maneuvers, but they did so with stunning precision.
