From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent ( Anthea )
Chapter 290

AY Tech's meteoric rise had given Luxphinia Tech a run for its money in the international markets.

After all, temperature-adjustable smart clothing was something even the tech powerhouse of Country Pellonia hadn't managed to produce.

"Who's the founder of AY Tech?" With that mention, Sherman's interest was piqued.

Anyone who could invent a temperature-adjustable human microchip had to be a force to be reckoned with!

Daniel continued, "The CEO of AY is Talbot, but the thing is, Talbot doesn't own a single share. He's just a hired gun, a professional CEO. To this day, the real founder of AY has never shown his face in public! No one knows who he is, or even his name!"

Sherman squinted his eyes thoughtfully, then said, "Our company's focus next quarter is on eco-friendly products, right? How about we replace those disposable hand warmers with reusable heating chips?" Daniel's eyes lit up. "You mean collaborate with AY Tech Co., Ltd, Sherman?"

Sherman nodded slightly.

"Fantastic, Sherman! I'll talk to the R&D department about it first thing tomorrow!" If they managed to partner with AY Tech, they might just get to meet the legendary founder!

When that happened, he was determined to see just what this enigmatic founder looked like!

Sherman's expression remained unreadable, his thoughts a mystery.

Meanwhile, Karen got home and immediately shared the news that Anthea would be visiting with Adah.

"Adah, my granddaughter-in-law is coming over tomorrow, make sure you give her a warm welcome!"

Adah, bursting with excitement, exclaimed, "Really? The legendary Ann is finally coming?" She couldn't wait to see what Ann looked like!

Skilled in medicine and beauty to boot, Adah just couldn't wrap her head around what such a perfect person would look like.

"Legendary Ann, haha!" Karen smiled, "And you better not call her that when she comes over tomorrow, or you'll scare her away, and then you'll have me to deal with!"

"Don't worry, Mom, I know how to behave! She's your lifesaver, after all. I'll treat her right just for that. Plus, do I look like someone who'd be impolite?"

Karen continued to instruct, "But don't overdo the hospitality, either. We don't want to scare off my dear daughter-in-law."

Adah quickly grabbed her phone to invite Annie over as well. She wanted to see who would be the prettiest, Annie or Ann.

Could there actually be someone more stunning than Annie in this world? She pondered.

Anthea quickly replied, "Sorry, Adah, I have plans tomorrow."

Booked? Adah frowned in disappointment, "What? You have plans already?"

Karen chuckled at Adah's reaction. "I bet that Annie is just scared to come. My granddaughter-in-law's beauty must have intimidated her! It's only natural she'd be afraid to meet her." "That's not true! Annie is beautiful!" Adah retorted. "She genuinely has other plans!"

"Who knows if that's really true!" Karen scoffed, "Are you her mind reader or something?"

Unable to out-argue Karen, Adah conceded, "Just wait until you meet her, then you'll see how beautiful she is!"

Karen snorted dismissively, then declared, "Just wait, tomorrow I'll make sure Sherman falls head over heels for Ann. The kind of love that leads straight to the altar!"

Adah laughed, "Mom, it's not just about falling in love. It's a question of whether Sherman will even stay put at home tomorrow."

Karen smiled knowingly, "Don't worry, he won't stray far tomorrow."

"You have a plan?"

Karen nodded.

Adah's curiosity was piqued, "Come on, give me a hint?"

Karen's mysterious smile deepened, "Be patient, and you'll replace out tomorrow morning."

The next morning, the family of three sat down for breakfast.

As Karen watched Sherman pick at a plate of salad greens and dry toast, she couldn't help but tease, "Sherman, you really planning to be a vegetarian forever?" He nodded affirmatively.

"Don't you ever crave meat?" Karen teased, waving a succulent piece of steak in front of him. "It's delicious, you know! Want a bite? If you want it, I'll give it to you!" Sherman remained stoic, barely suppressing a chuckle, "You're being childish."
