The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1669

"Mom, are you saying..." Dorothy clutched her phone, nerves shot, and asked quietly, "You were the one who donated the scholarship?"

Patricia's face stayed frosty. She didn’t say a word.

Dorothy thought Patricia was mad about Shirley's scandal. That put her in a great mood. Charlotte had gone all out to pair Shirley up with Andrew, using her to hang onto him. But what Charlotte didn't get was that Patricia hated women who didn’t know how to behave. After this, there was no way Patricia could stand Shirley.

Dorothy always thought she was the only one who disliked Shirley, but with Patricia on her team now, Shirley could forget about ever becoming part of the Blair family.

"Mom, people are right when they say you can’t trust anyone who grows up in the wrong environment," Dorothy said, setting down her phone, still throwing shade at Shirley. "At least the scholarship money wasn’t given out yet."

"A girl like her, with no sense of shame, should stay far away from Andrew and Charlotte from now on."

"Don’t you agree, Mom?"

"Enough."

Patricia never took her eyes off Shirley. Seeing how lost and helpless she looked, Patricia felt something twist in her chest.

How could a good friend of Lottie’s do something this stupid just for three hundred grand? There had to be more to it.

Shirley lost both her parents, and her grandma was seriously ill at home. She basically had nobody in her corner.

"Anne, get the car," Patricia said, her voice trembling a little as she headed out.

"Mom, I’ll come with you." Dorothy rushed to catch up, sounding way too eager.

As if she’d ever miss a good bit of family drama.

"That’s not necessary."

Patricia could hear the gloating in Dorothy’s voice, but she was way too worried about Shirley to argue. Leaning on Anne for balance, she climbed into the car. "Let’s go."

"Mom—"

Dorothy ran outside, but the car was already gone.

She just stood there, eyebrows pulled tight. Then she turned to a maid. "Bring the car around. I want to head to The Cabinda University too."
