The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 748

Charlotte glanced over at Letty, and the reporters, who had just calmed down, immediately surged forward again. Microphones crowded in around her.

“Letty, you’re one of the favorites to win the championship this year. Did you really cheat to get the practical surgery question ahead of time? Did you practice beforehand?”

“As a member of The Cabinda Medical Branch and a master’s student at The Cabinda University, do you realize how serious the punishment for cheating in this competition could be?”

“And since you know Lydia, were you also involved when she hired someone to commit murder?”

Involved?

Letty barely had time to process the thought of punishment for cheating when the accusation of murder hit her like a punch to the gut. Her face went ghostly white.

“No! I don’t know anything about that!”

She snapped her head up, her voice shaky as she denied it. “I had no idea Lydia would hire someone to kill Charlotte!”

She was telling the truth. Lydia had simply told her to keep her head down and focus on the competition, promising to take care of the ‘problem’ that was Charlotte. She never explained how.

It wasn’t until Letty saw Charlotte’s injured right hand at the competition that it all clicked.

When Letty insisted she had nothing to do with it, Lydia, now in handcuffs, stared at her with furious, bloodshot eyes.

Letty had called her ‘mentor’ whenever she needed help. Now that things had gone wrong, she couldn’t distance herself fast enough.

What a fool I was to ever trust her, Lydia thought bitterly.

The interview with Letty wrapped up, and at this point, it was almost certain she had cheated. Whether she was involved in the attempted murder was up to the police to sort out.
