The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1683

Proof?

What proof?

No one ever saw them on security cameras. Nobody could prove she’d actually met with that boy. So what else could they possibly have?

“It’s true, neither of them shows up in the footage,” Adonis said as he ran a hand through his hair and flicked at his shirt collar. He looked every bit the show-off, bouncing on his heels, more concerned about his image than the tension in the room. “But they left evidence somewhere else.”

Somewhere else?

Pandora stood frozen next to Karan, her heartbeat thundering in her ears. She wanted to hold her breath. Could there have been cameras where they talked? They’d been so careful, checking everything beforehand. There shouldn’t have been any surprises.

“Proof?”

Karan lifted her chin, acting like she didn’t care, but the way her face had lost all color and how tightly her hands were clenched at her sides gave her away. Still, she forced herself to sound tough. “If you have proof, let’s see it.”

“You work for Charlotte, and Charlotte’s friends with Shirley…”

Karan swallowed down her nerves, forcing out a cold, sarcastic laugh. “And how’s anyone supposed to know if your ‘proof’ is legit? Maybe you just faked it to help Shirley out.”

Out in the back row, Charlotte’s eyes narrowed slightly.

She switched her lollipop to her other hand and twirled it between her fingers, voice cool and casual. “Feeling brave today, huh?”

Karan spun to glare at her, thrown off by how unbothered Charlotte sounded.

“And who do you think you are?” Charlotte barely moved her chin, hinting at a smile, but her gaze stayed icy. “You think I’d bother making up stories just to take you down?”

“Charlotte…”

Karan’s face twisted with anger. She stepped forward, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Charlotte. If looks could kill, she would have done it right then. She hated Shirley, but she hated Charlotte, the one always standing behind her, even more. If it wasn’t for Charlotte, she never would have lost to Shirley, not over and over.
