The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 167

“Is that one of Charlotte’s people?”

Adonis’s eyes felt scorched after he finished watching the surveillance video Charlotte had sent him. The guy in the car accident was Anthony. Not only that, Anthony was with Charlotte. He had his arms around her.

Charlotte wasn’t exactly some innocent girl, but Anthony was another story altogether. He was complicated, the kind of man who moved easily between the dark side and the straight and narrow. Nobody could really tell which side he was on. How did Charlotte end up with someone like that? And how were they already this close? It felt like their relationship was moving at warp speed.

Jackson was sitting to the side, completely focused on counting the two hundred million in their account, until he noticed both the group chat updates and Adonis’s stunned face. Without looking up, he said, “I know why.”

Adonis turned to him, desperate. “Why?”

Jackson pointed at the screen, right at Anthony’s face as he held Charlotte.

“Because he’s hot.”

Adonis immediately protested. “I’m hot too! Why didn’t Charlotte pick me?” He knew better than to ever make a move on Anthony’s woman, but hey, a little daydreaming never hurt anyone.

Jackson just looked at him, tired, like he’d seen this coming. He got up, patted Adonis on the shoulder, and sighed. “Drink some more water.”

Adonis blinked. “What?”

“Then go to the bathroom and take a good, hard look at yourself in the mirror.”

Adonis jumped up, face flushed with indignation. “You are literally the ugliest guy in the entire N Organization!”

Jackson just shrugged, a half-smile tugging at his lips. “Yeah, but at least I know it.”
