The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1030

Olivia squeezed her fists, barely keeping her laughter in check. Princess of the Gates Family? Anthony’s girlfriend? None of that mattered now. With a scandal this big, who would dare defend Charlotte? Today was the day Charlotte would come crashing down from her pedestal, landing face-first in the mud. After this, no one would ever block Olivia’s path again.

She was practically basking in her own victory when a deep, rough voice suddenly echoed from a nearby sports car.

“Since when do my daughter and I need to take judgment from garbage like you?”

The words cut through the air, cold enough to make Olivia shiver. It felt like the temperature just dropped another ten degrees. The voice was so sharp Olivia couldn’t help but freeze, her eyes snapping to the car.

A woman stepped out, tall and slender, effortlessly graceful. She wore a black coat, her long hair pinned up, hands stuffed in her pockets, chin lifted just enough to show off features so strikingly beautiful it was hard to look away. Even without makeup, her face was flawless. But what really caught Olivia off guard was how much she looked like Charlotte. They could have been twins, if not for the obvious difference in age and the calm, elegant confidence that seemed to radiate from her.

Wait… was that really Charlotte’s mother, Nora?

No. That was impossible. Nora had been dead for almost twenty years.

Olivia’s grin vanished. She stared at her parents, searching for answers, but they looked just as shocked—maybe even more so. Her father, Steven, was as pale as a ghost, standing frozen as the woman came closer. His eyes widened, and he looked like he’d been hit by a bolt of lightning, completely stunned.

How could this be happening?

Elizabeth, Olivia’s mom, finally got a good look at the woman’s face. She grabbed Steven’s sleeve, stumbling back, her face shifting between pale and flushed. She rubbed at her eyes, as if trying to make sure she wasn’t seeing things. She’d seen pictures of Nora before. That face was unforgettable.
