Chapter 156
One game was all it took to expose the truth, whether she had cheated or not.
Anthea never was one for beating around the bush or playing it safe. If Rebecca wanted to stir up trouble, she was ready to give her a run for her money.
After recording her video, Anthea didn't bother with editing. She hit send and released it into the wild.
Sarah watched on, practically starry-eyed.
The way Anthea had just handled that video was nothing short of stunning. Absolutely brilliant!
If Anthea were a guy, Sarah was sure she'd fall head over heels for her!
"Ann! I'm itching to see you wipe the floor with them! It's a shame I can't be there in person," Sarah lamented. The RealTimeFlow anniversary bash was set to be live-streamed, and it was bound to be a spectacle.
Anthea gave Sarah's shoulder a reassuring pat. "Don't worry, Sarah. I heard there's going to be a live broadcast of the whole shindig. You won't miss a thing."
RealTimeFlow, being the giant that it is, would surely fan the flames for more attention.
The showdown was going to be epic.
"Really?" Sarah's face lit up.
Anthea nodded.
"That's awesome!" Sarah continued, "Hey Ann, when's the big night?"
"It's like two months from now. I need to check the invite for the exact date."
"I'll look it up," Sarah said, whipping out her phone. A moment later, she burst out, "Holy smokes, Ann! Your video statement just hit a hundred thousand likes!"
That was insane! Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Considering it had been less than ten minutes since Anthea had posted her statement.
Sarah scrolled through the comments, "Ann, your fans are so supportive!"
[Ahh, Ann you're so cool! Love you!]
[We've got your back, Ann.]
[We believe in you, Ann.]
[I knew my favorite streamer wasn't some delicate flower like they say.]
[Go get 'em, Ann!!]
[Got the video saved. Hoping you'll stand by your words and not chicken out!]
[Cheaters have no shame!]
[The explanation's out. Cheating or not, the anniversary party will tell all.]
[If you're not as same as Snow White, why hide your face? Saying you'll be at the anniversary, but who knows if that's just buying time. Don't you dare pull a 'sudden emergency' or 'flight delay' excuse.]
[Can't wait for the anniversary party!]
[The proof is in the pudding – let’s see it!]
[Holy cow! This year's RealTimeFlow party is gonna be lit!]
[So excited!]
Just then, Sarah leapt up from the couch, a surge of excitement in her voice, "Ann, the comments are saying that you can bring a plus-one to the RealTimeFlow party. Can you take me? I've never been to Capital City! Quick, check the invite. Is it true?"
Anthea checked her phone and the invite in her email, "Yeah, you can bring someone. Sarah, let's head to the city together."
"Yesss!" Sarah hugged Anthea in a burst of joy.
It was a hot summer day, and even with the air conditioning, the hug was a warm one. Sarah couldn't help but complain, "Ugh, it's so hot today! I'm melting here, AC's not helping! If only we had clothes that could change temperature on demand."
That idea sparked something in Anthea.
In her former life, she had a particular distaste for the heat, leading her to create a line of clothing with temperature-regulating features. It kept you toasty in the winter and perfectly chilled during the summer. It was like being a walking air conditioner - incredibly convenient and beneficial.
The best part was that the design wasn't limited. Any style that a designer could come up with was possible. But this body didn't seem to mind the heat, so Anthea had almost forgotten about her past invention.
Perhaps, she could bring her past life's creation to this world.
When it debuted in her previous life, it took the world by storm.
With a new plan forming, Anthea hugged Sarah back, "Thanks, Sarah!"
Sarah was puzzled, "...For what?"
Just then, Latonia's voice came from outside, "Sarah, Lacy and the others are here."
Hearing that, Sarah jumped up, "Oh! They're here! Come on, Ann, let's go meet them! I'll introduce you to my fiancé!"
Anthea nodded, pocketing her phone, and followed Sarah to the living room.
