The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1166

Anthony let out a small, relieved smile as he closed his laptop. He turned to Hans, trying to sound casual. “How’s everything on the Isle of Veil?”

Hans answered right away, “The heir selection is set for tonight. They’re starting half an hour before our plane lands.”

“Alright.” Anthony nodded, fingers idly tracing the leather cord wrapped around his wrist. He looked up at the sky, his voice low and rough. “Keep quiet about the test subject. If Lottie ever finds out…”

The warning in Anthony’s eyes was impossible to miss. Hans felt a chill run down his spine and hurried to nod. “I’ll keep it to myself, I promise.”

Marcia had been up before sunrise, getting herself ready in a sharp black suit that made her look both powerful and put together. Her straight black hair hung loose over her shoulders, adding to her confident vibe.

She glanced at her father, Aloys, worry creeping into her voice. “Dad, I’m nervous about the heir selection today. What if something goes wrong?”

Charlotte’s confident attitude from earlier wouldn’t leave Marcia’s mind. It was like she already believed the position was hers, no matter what.

Aloys just scoffed. “You’re worried about Charlotte? She’s just an illegitimate daughter The Hawk Family refuses to recognize. What right does she have to even dream about being heir?”
