The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1029

“Fine. I’ll let her talk to you face to face.”

Charlotte said it so casually, just as a line of black sports cars pulled up behind her. Steven felt his breath catch in his throat.

Elizabeth could barely process what she’d just heard. Charlotte’s offhand words echoed in her head: “Fine. I’ll let her talk to you face to face.” Who was she talking about? Was she really going to bring Nora here? The idea made Elizabeth’s fingers clench tight, her gaze icy as she stared at the row of cars.

All the windows were rolled up. You couldn’t see a thing inside. Still, Elizabeth was sure of one thing—Nora was dead. No one comes back from that.

She turned to Steven, who looked just as shaken. “Honey…” Elizabeth swallowed, trying to keep her voice steady. “Charlotte is just talking nonsense. Why are you letting her get to you?”

“I…” Steven glanced at her, his pulse racing, a sense of unease creeping over him.

“You’re just saying all this to distract everyone, to confuse us,” Elizabeth snapped at Charlotte, her lips curling in a scornful smile. “Fine. Let’s see how Nora’s going to crawl out of her grave and confront us.”

The reporters were on high alert now, eyes wide, microphones and cameras swinging between Charlotte and the mysterious cars. Was Charlotte really saying her mother was alive? Everyone knew Charlotte’s mom had died soon after giving birth. The story went that she couldn’t stand the pain and had thrown herself into the sea. If she was still alive, wouldn’t she have come back long ago? Why show up now? Was this all just a show to scare them?

No one in their right mind would believe someone could come back after being gone for nearly twenty years.

“Charlotte, who do you mean by ‘her’?”
