The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 492

“Olivia, you…” Steven’s voice trailed off as he stared at her, his mouth just hanging open in shock.

He had asked her before, straight up.

And Olivia had been clear. She swore she had nothing to do with the leaked videos or photos.

“Dad, it wasn’t me.” Olivia’s hands shot up to cover her face, her words tumbling out in a rush. “I didn’t post that video. I had nothing to do with any of it.”

If her dad ever found out she’d leaked those files to Melissa, just to set off Charlotte and drive the company into the ground, he would never let her off the hook.

Steven frowned, his eyes locked on Olivia, searching her face for any hint of the truth.

“Dad, I mean it.” Olivia’s voice trembled, her knuckles white as she clenched her hands tight. She turned watery eyes on Charlotte and demanded, “You’re accusing me of posting it. Do you even have proof?”

“Proof?” Charlotte looked at her like she was ridiculous, a cold little laugh slipping out. Her eyes were sharp, almost icy. “You sent the video to someone else, let them post it for you, and now you want to pretend you’re innocent?”

Olivia’s face went pale. She never thought Charlotte would figure it out, never thought it would come back to her.

Did Charlotte even know who actually posted the video?

“Olivia… was it really you?” Steven’s voice was barely above a whisper now.

“I…” Olivia tried to say something, anything, but her voice collapsed. She shook all over, guilt written across her face.

Steven just stood there, frozen. He looked like the life had been drained right out of him.

So it really was her.

What a mess. She’d gone after Charlotte, and now everything was lost.

“And you know what else?” Charlotte lifted her chin, locking eyes with him. “If my mom saw what you’ve done to me, I bet the first thing she’d do after climbing out of her grave would be to come after you.”

Steven couldn’t say a word. He just stood there, totally silenced.

“Still acting like you’re in charge right now?” Charlotte said quietly, her gaze flicking over to Olivia. “You really have no idea what you’re up against.”

If this punishment wasn’t enough, she’d just push it further.

“Charlotte…”

“Get them out of here.”

Before Steven could finish, Charlotte cut him off. The whole floor echoed with Steven and Olivia’s cries as they were pulled away, while the employees hiding in the corners just stared in shock, too stunned to speak.
