From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent ( Anthea )
Chapter 301

Maybe that's just the difference between those who've cracked open a book and those who haven't. Guys like him, the straight-A students, they just don't lie.

Baldie continued, "The SATs are right around the corner. Which college are you aiming for?"

He was curious to see how long Anthea Yeager could keep up her act.

"Harvard," said Anthea.

"Harvard?" Baldie's eyes widened in disbelief.

He thought to himself, Anthea's really shooting for the stars here! Harvard, even more prestigious than Princeton, is recognized worldwide! Even he wouldn't dare to dream of getting into Harvard.

Anthea had merely donned a Northbridge High varsity jacket and was already spouting big dreams. It's like the more lies you tell, the more you start to believe them yourself. "I'm setting my sights on Yale," Baldie added.

"May your dreams come true," Anthea said, pulling out her phone from her pocket. "I'm going to be late. Can't chat anymore."

Anthea hurried off to school. To Baldie, it looked like she was fleeing the scene. Tell one lie, and you need a hundred more to back it up. Anthea must be feeling guilty, right?

Although Anthea lied and seemed quite vain, Baldie couldn't help but feel his heart race every time he saw her. He couldn't control it. He knew it was the sign of having a crush. Anthea was so beautiful, it was only natural for him to fall for her. Even though Harriet had said Anthea wasn't in his league.

But a little romance couldn't hurt, right? Who doesn't have a few girlfriends in college? Sure, Anthea might not be the most educated, but she's gorgeous. It's just dating, not marriage. He wasn't losing out!

Once the SAT results were out, and he was holding his Princeton acceptance letter, Anthea would surely say yes to him! After all, Anthea had only graduated middle school, and he would be a college guy from a prestigious institution. In any case, it would be Anthea reaching for the stars. Only a fool would say no!

Baldie was getting more excited by the minute. He had to study hard for the upcoming exams. To get into Princeton!

"Annie!" As soon as she reached the school gates, she saw Lizzie West and Tanya waiting for her.

"Lizzie, Tanya!"

Anthea jogged over to them.

"Annie, my mom made these burritos for you," Lizzie handed Anthea a wax paper bag.

Anthea took it, "Please thank your mom for me."

Tanya, munching on a burrito, said indistinctly, "Annie, you gotta try this, my mom's cooking is unbeatable!"

Anthea opened the bag and took a bite. It was indeed delicious. Despite Lizzie's family going through a rough patch, her spirits seemed unshaken.

The trio made their way along the campus's shaded path, creating a beautiful scene.

"Holy smokes! Isn't that the pet of class 7?"

"Watch your language, she's also the new school beauty!"

Yes. Anthea had only been at the school for a semester, and she was already voted the school beauty!

Hearing this, a girl nearby said enviously, "She's so pretty, and what a figure..."

"Well, how else would she be the school beauty!"

"What school beauty? I see a cheater, that's what!" a mocking voice rang out.

They turned to see Mae and Alicia from class 3, with the former school beauty, Rebecca Morris, standing between them.

Rebecca looked upset. She was the school beauty! She was the chess master! She was the popular streamer! But now, all the glory that was hers had been snatched away by Anthea.

What Rebecca couldn't accept was how easily Anthea dealt with the Yeager family's troublesome relatives. She had hoped to use those relatives to trip Anthea up. Instead, Anthea not only thrived, but those relatives also ran into trouble one by one.

Elaine Yeager's family fell into ruin, one daughter jailed, another forced to drop out. Saul Yeager was jailed for fraud... Gemma suffered a stroke from the shock, becoming paralyzed and bedridden!

If Rebecca were to say these incidents had nothing to do with Anthea, she wouldn't believe it herself. After all, these troubles started happening to them after they messed with Anthea. But the Anthea she knew was nothing special! What was going on?

From the moment Anthea started her live streams, Rebecca felt things slowly slipping out of her control.
