The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1220

“Also…” Jackson paused for a moment before adding, “The Hawk family knows about the bracelet too, and they’re aware you’re on the Isle of Veil. Looks like they’re getting ready to make a move.”

“So you finally remembered you have a boyfriend who takes orders?” Anthony said, looping an arm around her waist. He glanced at Mr. Churchill, his tone sharp. “Bring him with us. We’re heading to the airport.”

Was it just his imagination, or did Mr. Churchill look a bit like Newell around the eyes?

The Isle of Veil, once sunlit and bright, was suddenly covered in heavy clouds. The Churchill family’s cars sped through the streets, turning heads as they went. There was an odd tension in the air, like everyone could sense something big was about to happen.

“Don’t worry. Damaris has set up everything. You’ll get out of here safe,” the bodyguard said, trying to reassure her.
