The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1157

The Genetic Biology Research Institute buzzed with energy. In the giant hall, packed with rows of researchers in crisp white lab coats, the air was thick with anticipation. Up on stage, G2, Marcia, and a handful of respected professors sat facing the crowd.

Everyone was talking about Asclepius joining the team.

The researchers could barely contain their excitement, eyes wide, necks stretched as they watched the doorway.

When the doors finally opened, the entire room turned as one.

A girl stepped in. She wore a white hoodie, her face striking and delicate, looking almost too young for the scene in front of her.

The researchers exchanged confused looks. Was this really Asclepius? The legendary genius everyone in the medical world talked about? She looked nothing like what they expected.

G2 and Marcia had met Charlotte before. They recognized her instantly and tensed up, nerves on edge. Still, they both knew Allanson held something over Charlotte. No matter how talented she was, she couldn’t outmaneuver the Hawk family.

Marcia made herself take a slow breath, forcing her worries back down.

Charlotte barely paused at the door. Without looking at anyone, she pulled out her iPad and tossed her backpack to Adonis. “Wait for me outside,” she said, her voice flat and unreadable.

Adonis hesitated, worry flickering in his eyes, but nodded. “Yes.” He glanced at his brother and together, the two gave the room a hard stare, making sure everyone took notice before shuffling out.

Charlotte didn’t say a word. She walked right up to the stage, tablet in hand, and stopped in front of G2, who sat at the center. Her meaning was obvious.

G2 hesitated. He wanted to refuse, but something about Charlotte’s expression—so reminiscent of Mrs. W—made him falter. He stood and stepped aside, letting her take his seat.
