The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1106

The head of DM was a total mystery. No one had ever seen his face. Who would've guessed he was Charlotte’s mentor? Not just anyone could build a power base on the Isle of Veil. Just how powerful was Lottie’s teacher, really?

***

Newell’s lab sat in the southern part of the Isle of Veil. After breakfast, Anthony drove while Charlotte lounged in the passenger seat.

“Allanson knows you’re Asclepius now. Do you think he’ll back down?” Anthony asked, sliding a pillow behind her lower back. His gaze was dark and serious.

“I’ll give him three days,” Charlotte replied, her voice quiet as she shifted in her seat. “After that, he’ll have no choice. Whether he likes it or not, he has to give it up.”

Anthony nodded. At a red light, he reached over and gently pinched her cheek, his tone low and rough. “X Organization is ready and waiting. All yours.”

Charlotte glanced at him, her eyes bright and a little sly. “You’re really not scared? If a fight breaks out, everything you’ve worked for could go up in smoke.”

He shrugged. “If it’s compared to you? It’s nothing.”

Top organization in the world, just like that? He acted like it was no big deal.

Charlotte paused, then smiled, her lips curving in amusement. “That would be a waste. Keep it running. Let it make money for me.”

“You little money grubber.” Anthony scowled playfully, then leaned in and nipped her lips with a soft laugh. “Good thing I’ve got some cash, or we never would’ve ended up together.”

“You’re not wrong.” Charlotte winced and drew back a little, her doe eyes sparkling. “I’m expensive, Anthony. Better keep hustling.”

“Got it,” Anthony said, grinning. He looked at her with a warm, teasing spark. “First I’ll take care of you. Then, I’ll take care of our baby.”
