The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 657

Charlotte’s words rang out, fierce and full of confidence. Shirley just nodded, playing the obedient friend. Everyone knew Charlotte was the Gates family’s darling princess, and with Anthony on her side, no one even thought about crossing her. Honestly, it seemed like nobody ever managed to really mess with Charlotte.

Well… except maybe Anthony.

Shirley glanced up, catching a hint of red near Charlotte’s collarbone. She immediately looked away, pretending not to notice.

Not far from them, hidden in the corner, someone watched with cold, calculating eyes.

Olivia pulled out her phone and dialed, keeping her voice low. “Did you send what I asked for?”

“I couldn’t get Anthony’s direct contact, but I found one of his assistants,” the hacker replied, respectful and efficient. “Unless something went wrong, they’ve already seen the pictures.”

“Perfect.” Olivia hung up, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.

What she sent were photos from the training camp, every shot capturing Charlotte and Donald getting a little too close for comfort. Olivia refused to believe nothing was going on. Now, with Anthony seeing his precious girlfriend cozying up to another guy… who knew what he’d do? Maybe he’d just dump her then and there.

Without Anthony, Charlotte was nothing. Olivia couldn’t wait to watch her fall, to see her lose everything she ever had.

There were no classes that afternoon, so Charlotte headed home to Imperial Heights. After Helen’s homemade dessert, she grabbed her laptop and made herself comfortable in bed.

Once she sent the request, Charlotte closed her laptop and burrowed into the covers. Sleep came quickly, heavy and deep.

When she woke, something soft brushed her face, making her nose twitch.

“You’re up?”

Anthony was there, still in his suit, leaning over her with his hands on either side of her. His smile was warm, his eyes full of affection and something softer, just for her.

Charlotte hadn’t even told him she was coming home.
