The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 2092

"How is her leg?"

"The surgery was a complete success. Once she goes through rehab, she'll be able to dance again."

Polly's attending doctor wiped the cold sweat from his brow and let out a heavy sigh. "Thank goodness she didn't try to push through the pain and keep dancing, or she most likely would have faced amputation."

"It's just..." The doctor hesitated for a moment before speaking the truth. "Miss Charlotte, you were generous enough to cover the fifty thousand dollar surgery fee. But the follow-up treatments are going to be exceptionally expensive."

"We looked into the girl's family background. They poured everything they had into her dance lessons, and I'm afraid they can't afford any further medical bills. Because of this, her family has decided to discharge her."

"The girl didn't want to become a burden to you, so she specifically asked me not to tell you."

"Use the best medication available for her recovery. Send all the bills to me."

Hearing the doctor's explanation, Charlotte's brow furrowed. A chilling aura rolled off her as she spoke in a low, husky voice. "And..."

"Pass a message to her for me. Tell her to focus on resting. I'll get justice for her."

"Yes, ma'am."

The doctor felt a shiver run down his spine at the girl's dark, icy tone. He hung up the phone with a trembling hand.

Just as the call ended, Charlotte's phone buzzed again.

It was Emily.

"Charlotte, have you seen the news online?" Emily's voice was frantic on the other end. "I knew that Reba was bad news. I can't believe she has the nerve to step on you to climb the ladder."

Reba?

Stepping on her to climb the ladder?

Thoroughly confused, Charlotte opened Twitter again, her eyes narrowing dangerously.

Half an hour ago.

The top trending searches had all been about her.

Now, they had been entirely replaced by Reba.

Charlotte gave a faint smile and kept her voice light. "The album has a high chance of sweeping the awards. Kenneth is going to be away at ceremonies for at least half a month. Are you really going to be okay letting him go alone?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

Emily muttered, but her sulky tone completely gave her away.

After saying her goodbyes to Emily, Charlotte shot a quick text to Anthony: [Ignore the drama online. Let it brew.]

Kenneth's album needed the buzz anyway, and now Reba was out here buying trending tags for them.

Perfect. That saved them a ton of marketing money.

Once she updated Anthony, Charlotte called Polly. Her voice was deadly serious. "Call the police. Get them involved in the investigation."

"But..."

Polly's brow furrowed in deep worry. "There were no cameras, and no one else saw it happen. Will they even admit to it?"

"It doesn't matter."

Charlotte's lips parted into a smirk. Her lazy, husky voice drifted through the line. "They'll face the consequences either way."

Polly's eyes widened in shock.
