The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 746

“Lydia, what’s going on?” The judge beside her leaned in, unable to hold back any longer. “Who told you Dr. David and Charlotte were cheating?”

The livestream was still running, every awkward moment playing out in front of a global audience.

If Lloyd hadn’t stepped in when he did to clear everything up, this whole cheating fiasco would have trashed the International Medical Alliance’s reputation for good.

“I…” Lydia’s hands clenched tight. Her face went from pale to flushed and back again. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

She never meant for things to get this far. Ruining the Alliance’s name was never the plan. She just wanted to take down Dr. David and Charlotte in one move. Simple. Clean. Except now, nothing was simple. She’d managed to offend Lloyd, Dr. David, and almost dragged the entire Alliance down with her.

“It was all just a misunderstanding…” Lydia swallowed her panic and forced a smile, trying to sound calm. “Now that everything’s cleared up, that’s what matters, right?”

All she wanted now was to save what little standing she had left in the organization.

Letty’s head jerked up at Lydia’s words, her face white as a sheet. Was Lydia giving up? Was she just handing the championship to Charlotte?

“Black.”

Letty glared at Charlotte, biting her lip so hard it almost bled. Grief and resentment clouded her eyes. “If Charlotte’s really Black, why doesn’t she just show her real identity? What’s she so scared of?”

Charlotte looked up, her eyes cold and clear as they landed on Letty. Watching Letty lose it almost made her smile. She let her lips curve just a little, then answered, slow and steady. “Because if I’m too good, it might make everyone else feel bad about themselves.”

Letty had no comeback. Silence hung heavy in the room.

Everyone felt the sting of those words. It was like getting slapped without anyone even raising a hand.

The press just stared, stunned. Charlotte’s confidence was impossible to ignore.
