The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1169

In a heartbeat, every eye in the room flicked between Charlotte and Marcia. According to tradition, the founder’s descendant had the first claim to everything, and Mrs. W’s own granddaughter was sitting right there. Out of everyone present, only Charlotte truly had the right to inherit the institute. For The Hawk Family, it was a total disaster.

“Does anyone else have something to say?” Charlotte’s lips curled into a smile, but her eyes stayed cold. “If not, I’m going to start making some changes.”

What did she mean by that? Before anyone could react, Charlotte’s voice cut through the hall, icy and clear.

“First, within two days, every outside faction and group must leave the institute. That goes double for The Hawk Family.”

The news hit like a slap. Marcia clung to the DNA report, drained and motionless, as if all the blood had left her body.

“Second, starting today, the labs are closed. All genetic mutation research stops now.”

The researchers all looked sick, faces turning from pale to green. Was this what Mrs. W wanted? Forty years ago, things had fallen apart, and now it felt like history was repeating itself.

“You must be dreaming!” G2 snapped, his voice rough and low. The genetic mutation project was almost done. They were so close. If they stopped now, everything he’d worked for would vanish.

“Hold on, I’m not finished,” Charlotte said, leaning back in her chair, looking unbothered. “Third, G2 is fired from the institute. Everyone else on the research team is dismissed, effective immediately.”

Someone who didn’t know right from wrong had no business in medicine.

“You’re firing me?” G2’s eyes went wide, his whole being shaking with anger as he glared at Charlotte. “What gives you the right?”

“My grandmother is Mrs. W. This institute is her legacy. I’m her rightful heir. And you were the one who stirred up trouble and forced my grandmother out forty years ago.”
