The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1120

Anthony stared, caught completely off guard by how boldly she said it.

“It’s not illegal.”

They locked eyes for a moment. Then Anthony let out a quiet laugh, reached over, and ruffled her hair. His voice was low and teasing. “You can do whatever you want to me. Anything at all.”

While he spoke, his hand slid to her waist and gave a not-so-innocent squeeze.

Charlotte glanced up at him, pressing her tongue to her cheek. It took her a second to answer. “Wow, you really know how to push your luck.”

Anthony just grinned. “I learn from the best.” He leaned in to kiss her, lips curving with mischief. “After all, there’s no law against seducing my own girlfriend.”

Charlotte couldn’t drink another sip. She shoved the milk tea into Anthony’s hands, pulled her coat tighter, and ducked her face into the collar as she headed out.

Anthony watched her go, her steps a little unsteady, and the smile on his face only grew.

Imperial Heights.

The villa was grand and full of light, standing out against the dark night. The front gates were wide open.

Bodyguards and maids stood respectfully on either side, their eyes following the slim woman who looked like she might topple over at any moment.

“Nora, Franco and Charlotte will still be a bit. Why don’t you wait inside?” Helen asked, worry clear in her voice.

“I’m alright.”

Nora had on a knit cardigan, her long hair loose over her shoulders, and for once, she was actually smiling. The moment she heard Franco and Charlotte had gotten the antidote safely, the weight in her chest finally eased.

Solenia had taken a serious hit because of this. That was Franco’s life’s work. But everyone was safe, and that mattered more than anything.

Helen saw how determined Nora looked and didn’t push it. She just thought to herself, Nora’s stubbornness really does give Charlotte a run for her money. She looked gentle and beautiful, but just standing there, she gave off this powerful energy that was a little intimidating.

No wonder they’re mother and daughter.
