The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 2078

"Yeah, are you deaf?"

With Charlotte backing them up, the girls stood taller, firing back with newfound confidence. "If you're bold enough to do it, don't play the victim when people call you out."

"You're accusing my dancers of pushing her? Where's your proof?"

Reba glared at Charlotte, her voice dripping with irritation. "Who gave you the nerve to just throw around baseless accusations?"

"I did."

Charlotte pulled her hand back and slowly wiped it with a tissue, her gaze never leaving Reba. Her eyes were dark and predatory. "Just wait. This isn't over."

Right now, the priority was Kenneth's album.

As for these annoying pests...

she could crush them whenever she pleased.

"Let's go."

Charlotte lazily withdrew her gaze and strode off toward the dressing room.

"Just wait!"

The girls echoed as they followed her, intentionally bumping hard into Reba's shoulder as they passed. "This isn't over!"

Reba stumbled back a few steps, staring venomously at their retreating backs. The fire of pure hatred burned in her eyes.

...

Inside the dressing room, with the superstar and the director personally overseeing things, the crew worked at lightning speed.

"Charlotte, this is Polly's outfit."

The wardrobe stylist approached with a black two-piece set, speaking carefully. "You're a bit slimmer than Polly, so the waist might be loose. I've already made some quick adjustments, but let me know if anything doesn't feel right and I'll fix it."

Charlotte had only seen the MV wardrobe in sketches until now.

The top was a cropped halter that stopped right above the navel, featuring sheer white tulle sleeves and a square neckline that perfectly framed the collarbones.

The bottom was a sleek, black A-line mini skirt accessorized with a silver ball chain.

It was paired with knee-high black boots.

The outfit was expertly designed to elongate the legs. It wasn't overly revealing, but it highlighted the collarbones and legs beautifully.

Paired with intense smoky makeup and the neon blue lighting of the set...

It was a top-tier visual package.

A crew member announced respectfully.

"Got it."

Charlotte nodded, turning to the nervous girls. "Just perform like we practiced. No need to stress."

The girls forced awkward, intimidated smiles. "We weren't stressed before... but after watching you dance, we all feel like absolute garbage."

Charlotte didn't quite know how to respond to that.

...

At that exact moment, a sleek black Rolls-Royce pulled up to the entrance of the studio.

The rear door opened.

A pair of long legs clad in dark tailored trousers stepped out in immaculate leather shoes.

As the man fully emerged, it became clear that he was holding two tiny humans, one in each arm.

Yep...

the two babies had come for their very first set visit.
