From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 503



Chapter 503
Rebecca's assistant didn't have a clue, but Rebecca wasn't ready to give up. She was determined to have a "chance encounter"
with Phoenix YC.
That evening, she barely touched her dinner. Instead, she spent ages perfecting her makeup and hair, then made her way to the
hotel lobby, hoping to just happen to run into Phoenix YC.
She waited until nine o'clock, but not a single person who even remotely resembled Phoenix YC walked by.
Not only did she fail to bump into Phoenix YC-
She ran into someone she never expected: Anthea.
Rebecca frowned. What was Anthea doing here? Was there some new RealTimeFlow event in town?
But then she remembered next time they met, she and Anthea would be living in completely different worlds. The thought put a
gleam of satisfaction in her eyes.
That night, after everyone else had gone to bed, Anthea was still awake, sitting at her desk in a silk camisole nightgown, busy at
her computer.
In front of her, along with her laptop, floated a translucent screen. Her fingers tapped rapidly across its surface.

She was preparing to destroy the cheat system inside Rebecca.
It made sense-Anthea was the original creator of the cheat system, so she knew
all its weaknesses. The problem was, writing a self-destruct program for it was a real headache.
Not until three-thirty in the morning did Anthea finally shut down her computer and crawl into bed.
Before she knew it, the sun was up.
To welcome technology experts from around the globe, the main streets of Capital City were blocked off. Helicopters thundered
overhead. Police sirens wailed in the distance.
Rebecca was up at five, getting ready for the day. Foundation, lipstick,

eyeshadow, false lashes—she didn't skip a single step. She styled her hair into an elegant updo worthy of a princess.
To make sure her figure didn't go unnoticed, she picked out a long, form-fitting dress in vibrant scarlet.
Today, she would be the center of attention.
She slipped on her heels and swept out of the hotel. A chauffeured car was already waiting.
As she walked, she glanced over her shoulder, Just in case someone was following. No one was. Had Phoenix YC already left
for the summit? What a shame! Sharing the same hotel, yet never crossing paths.
Lifting her skirt slightly, Rebecca stepped gracefully into the car.
With a police escort, she arrived at the Tech Summit Global venue in no time.

The event had drawn the top names from every country. As Rebecca entered, countless eyes turned her way. She was probably
the youngest person ever to attend this summit; no wonder people were surprised.
Under the gaze of so many, Rebecca followed an usher to her seat. Each place at the front had a nameplate.
To her left-Phoenix YC.
Rebecca's heart pounded. There was no way this was a coincidence; Phoenix YC must have arranged it in advance. Otherwise,
what were the odds that she'd be seated right beside him?
She wondered if, once the summit started, Sherman Christensen would get jealous when he saw her sitting next
to Phoenix YC. What man wouldn't, seeing the girl he liked next meone else?
With a subtle, satisfied smile, Rebecca took her seat. Phoenix YC's chair was still empty.
She sat up straight, every inch the picture of poise and confidence, aware of all the curious glances sent her way.
The Tech Summit Global was being live-streamed within the tech community, but only on a specialized platform-ordinary people
couldn't watch.
Still, many tuned in and commented on the forums:

Butterfly: Wow, that's YR! She's gorgeous!
Miss You: She really is! And she looks so young, too!
Phoenix_Damon: Where's our king? Why isn't Phoenix here yet?
Phoenix_HappyEveryday: Can't wait for him to show up!
Phoenix_Whatever: Gotta run a quick errand—someone ping me when Phoenix arrives, please!
Silly0165: I can't believe XR is so young! I thought she was in her thirties!
The Mortal Coil: The organizers have a sense of humor-seating YC and YR together!
