The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 158

She had never seen Andrew act this sweet with any other girl. Was he really falling for her? For this girl? If she managed to win him over, maybe even marry into his family, she’d go from nothing to someone important just like that. But how could trash like her ever be good enough for the Blair family?

Olivia glared at Charlotte, her fingers curling so tight her knuckles turned white. She bit her lip, trying to keep her anger in check.

“Charlotte, your seat’s over here.”

At the sound of Andrew’s voice, Charlotte finally looked up. Her eyes were cool as she glanced at her seat number. She made sure it was right, slid out the chair, and sat down. Then she pulled two pens from her pocket and tossed them onto the desk.

Charlotte’s seat was in the same row as Olivia’s. The moment she sat down, the whole noisy classroom went quiet.

Everyone at Vanguard High knew about the tension between them. All eyes were on Charlotte and Olivia now. Some kids tried to sneak looks, others just stared. Whispers spread across the room.

“Honestly, Charlotte is way prettier than Olivia. But these days, looks don’t get you anything.”

“I’ll bet you this. Forget second place. If Charlotte moves up even ten spots in the rankings, I’ll buy everyone milk tea.”

“My uncle works in the principal’s office. I heard a famous physics professor recommended Charlotte. Supposedly she’s a science genius.”

“A genius who scores dead last?” Nancy couldn’t help laughing. She leaned closer to Olivia and lowered her voice. “You believe that? I sure don’t.”

Olivia’s lips curled in a mocking smile as she looked at Charlotte. She expected to see her flustered and embarrassed by all the gossip, but instead, Charlotte was wearing headphones, like she was listening to music.
