The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1232

Her words left everyone stunned. The X Organization and N Organization together definitely had the power, but the Hawk family wasn’t exactly easy to mess with either. The way she spoke—so bold and fearless—it was almost unbelievable.

“Father!” Aloys called out, noticing Allanson’s expression shift. He frowned and quickly stepped forward to warn him, “She has the bracelet. If we let them go now, everything we’ve worked on with the genetic mutation will be lost for good.”

Maybe, just maybe, they could take a risk and try to capture Charlotte and Anthony. Using them as leverage against the X and N Organizations wasn’t completely out of the question.

The entire room fell silent. No one dared to speak, waiting for Allanson to make his move.

After a long pause, Allanson finally looked up at Aloys. Without warning, he slapped him across the face. A cold, mocking smile played at the corner of his mouth. “You think I don’t see what you’re up to?” he said, voice icy.

Aloys staggered, his mind ringing. “Father—”

“You want to use the Hawk family to clear your own path?” Allanson’s gaze grew sharper. “Aloys, do you really think I’m so easy to fool?”

He hated nothing more than people plotting behind his back.

Aloys’s face turned pale. He didn’t dare argue anymore.

Head-on, they had no chance against Charlotte and Anthony, and if they tried to kidnap them? As soon as word spread, the Isle of Veil would be in chaos before the night was over. The X Organization, the Isle of Veil, Franco—none of them would just sit back and watch. The whole island would be thrown into turmoil.

“Everyone, back off.”

After a few tense seconds, Allanson waved his bodyguards away, making them fall back to a safe distance. He stepped forward, leaning on his cane, and locked eyes with Charlotte. “You know I can’t do anything to you. That’s why you keep pushing me, isn’t it?”

“Yeah.” Charlotte didn’t bother to hide her impatience. “Are you finished? If you want to fight, just do it. If not, move out of the way.”
