The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1027

The front gate of The Cabinda University was buzzing with tension.

“Where is she? What’s taking her so long?” Elizabeth stood under a big tree, eyes fixed on the entrance, her brow tightly furrowed. “Olivia, are you absolutely sure Charlotte came to the university today?”

With all the gossip swirling online, Charlotte had kept quiet, clearly hoping everything would just fade away if she ignored it long enough.

But Elizabeth wasn’t about to let this chance slip by. When she found out Charlotte was coming to campus, she’d gone out of her way to call in a pack of nosy reporters, all waiting right by the gate. The second Charlotte showed up, the press would pounce.

She wanted Charlotte trapped, her reputation ruined beyond repair.

“Of course I’m sure.” Olivia replied without looking up, her fingers flying across her phone screen as she posted nasty comments about Charlotte. The jealousy in her eyes was impossible to miss.

The department head had basically begged Charlotte to come back, and now everyone from undergrads to grad students was cramming into the lab just to watch her work. All Olivia heard these days was, “Charlotte’s incredible,” “Charlotte’s a genius…”

Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte.

The name alone made Olivia’s jaw clench. If Charlotte had never shown up, all the praise and recognition would have been hers. She wouldn’t be stuck in this humiliating situation.

“Good.” Elizabeth nodded, then glanced over her shoulder at Steven, who was crouched on the ground, smoking while scrolling through his phone. Her scowl deepened.

“What are you looking at? Things have gone too far. There’s no way back now.”

Steven looked up at her, his eyes clouded. He spoke quietly, “Someone posted a story online. It says that what happened with Nora and me was consensual. They’re claiming there was never any marriage scam…”

“A story?” Elizabeth cut him off, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “The facts are simple. Charlotte isn’t your real daughter. You raised her for over ten years. She repaid you by destroying The Main Group. All of that happened.”
