From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 272

He had been in the game for years, never taking a fall.

It was no different this time. He wouldn’t lose to some chick!

Just now, he had intentionally sprinted into this dead–end alley because it was a blind spot for the cameras and his turf.

The chick was easy on the eyes and probably even better in other ways!

With that thought, a sleazy grin spread across the man’s face in black.

Since she liked sticking her nose where it didn’t belong, she couldn’t blame him for what was coming!

Anthea was totally trapped. There was no way out.

Why wasn’t Anthea moving?
