The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1116

Everyone in the hall just stared, mouths hanging open. Nobody had ever seen someone talk tough while sipping on a carton of milk.

“Allanson, we’re almost at the end of our rope here. If things keep going this way…”

The Hawk Family’s entire financial empire was about to go under. One of the men wiped sweat from his brow, his voice shaking as he spoke. If they actually collapsed, every other power in the city would pounce, ready to tear them apart. That was the real nightmare. Allanson had to know what was truly at stake.

The standoff left the whole hall in a heavy silence. Everyone held their breath, eyes locked on the family head at the center, not daring to make a sound.

Charlotte finished her milk with one last gulp, then tossed the empty bottle into the trash. The sharp clink broke the tension in the room. She dusted off her hands and stood up, tall and striking, her beauty as fierce as her presence.

“Lottie.”

Franco’s face tightened when he saw her move. He reached out and grabbed her arm. “What are you doing? Don’t be reckless.”

“I’m fine.” Charlotte patted her father’s shoulder, gave him a steady look, and started walking straight toward Allanson.

Everyone in the Hawk Estate had seen what Charlotte could do. The bodyguards went on high alert, guns drawn and aimed right at her. People were scared—she had a reputation for unpredictable moves.

“Anthony…” Hans shot Anthony a worried glance. Jackson and Adonis already had their hands on their guns, faces set and ready to act.

“Lottie isn’t nervous. So why are you?” Anthony didn’t move from his chair. He sat there, legs crossed, a confident smile on his face, sounding like nothing could shake him.

Jackson and Adonis traded looks, then slowly relaxed their hands. Hans let out a quiet breath. Charlotte stood there, hands in her pockets, totally unfazed by a dozen guns pointed at her. She looked like she owned the place.

Charlotte wasn’t worried. She had everything under control.
