The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1028

“And your mom? Seriously, what kind of person tricks someone into marriage?”

“If Steven and Elizabeth hadn’t been so generous, you probably would’ve starved. How could you pay them back by driving your adoptive dad out of Cabinda?”

“Steven’s the real jerk here. He’s been bullying Charlotte since they were kids…”

Shirley’s fists tightened as she listened to the reporters twist the truth. “You don’t know anything, so stop talking like you do.”

The more she spoke, the angrier Shirley got. She was ready to jump in and throw a punch. “Say that again. I dare you.”

Charlotte stepped in, catching Shirley by the collar and gently pulling her behind her. “Hey, calm down.” She patted Shirley’s shoulder and handed her the milk tea. “Just stand back and watch how this goes.”

Watch?

Yeah, Charlotte’s parents were about to show up. These shameless reporters were about to get what they deserved.

Shirley took a big sip of the milk tea, her anger cooling just a little.

“So, you’re all saying my mom was some homewrecker, that she got pregnant before marriage, and then tricked Steven into marrying her…”

Charlotte shoved her hands in her pockets, glancing at a tree nearby with a smirk. “You call me ungrateful, say I drove my adoptive dad out and ruined his life…”

“If you’re so sure about all this, why are the people involved hiding and listening in from the shadows?”

The moment Charlotte looked their way, Steven started to look uneasy.

Elizabeth, though, held her head high. She grabbed Steven’s arm, pulling him out into the open. “Fine. Let’s talk face to face. Let everyone see what the so-called top student from the entrance exam is really like.”

Not that it mattered. Even if they stayed hidden, Charlotte would have found them.
