From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 505

MistyWorld: [Raine, I support you! And YR too! Cheering for you both!]

The forum instantly exploded with heated debate.

Apart from members of the Phoenix family, everyone else seemed to be waiting for Anthea to make a fool of herself.

At the Tech Summit Global.

Mason strolled over, grinning as he wedged himself between Anthea and Rebecca. He leaned toward Anthea and said, "I figured you might know YR, so I made sure your seats were together. Makes it easier for you two to catch up."

It was almost laughable, really.

Most people had assumed the two were either father and daughter, or maybe even grandfather and granddaughter...

No one expected them to actually be friends.

Definitely not sisters, though.

Because, honestly, their looks weren't even on the same playing field.

Rebecca glanced up at Mason and noticed the "Team A Research Department"

badge pinned to his chest. She forced herself to speak, though her voice trembled. "She... She's Phoenix-YC?"

Mason nodded, oblivious to her distress. "Of course! You mean you don't know Boss YC?"

Boom.

Rebecca's mind went completely blank.

It was true.

Anthea really was Phoenix-YC.
