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.

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!

At that moment, the man in black pulled a gleaming switchblade from his pocket and stood up. He, approached Anthea step by step. Meanwhile, three or four other men, also clad in black, silently appeared behind Anthea, cutting off any chance of retreat.

Anthea was totally trapped. There was no way out.

With her arms crossed, Anthea watched the man in black advance toward her.

She didn’t show a hint of fear on her face. Instead, a faint smile played at the corners of her mouth.

The man in black frowned.

Why wasn’t Anthea moving?

Had she been scared stiff?
