The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 264

Andrew felt kind of unsure about everything, but honestly, just knowing there was someone out there who could give Anthony a hard time made him feel a lot better. He gave Charlotte a silent thumbs up in his head.

Shirley edged closer and wrapped her arms around Charlotte’s, her voice dropping. “Charlotte, I think The Dean Group just went bankrupt.”

“Really?” Charlotte barely reacted, just shrugged it off.

“Yeah.” Shirley nodded, a little crease in her brow. “And about that apartment Mr. Blair rented… it’s seriously pricey. My grandma and I feel bad, so we were thinking about moving back.”

“Just keep living there,” Charlotte said as she patted Shirley’s head, sounding like she meant every word. “He has more money than he knows what to do with anyway.”

Shirley’s eyes went wide. Was this really how you were supposed to treat your boyfriend?

…

With her hand injured, Charlotte had zero interest in fighting the crowds at the cafeteria. After class, she just hung out in the classroom, scrolling through her phone to kill time while waiting for Andrew to deliver her lunch. Training Andrew started with him running errands for her, all thanks to Anthony’s orders.

In the group chat called “The Matchmaking Family”:

Jackson: Charlotte, the International Association of Forensic Medicine has been calling N Organization again. Looks like they want your help on some really tough case.

Nine: …

Charlotte frowned, not even bothering to hide her annoyance. Those people were hopeless. Last time, they nearly blew up her phone—and the organization’s—over some tiny case. She’d jumped on a last-minute flight only to realize the whole thing was just a ten-minute procedure.

Honestly, it wasn’t even their fault. When it came to Charlotte, everyone else just looked incompetent. That supposed ten-minute autopsy? The association’s top experts spent a week staring at it and still couldn’t figure it out. In the end, they begged her to do it again so they could record and study what she did. Charlotte was so done with them, she just blocked their number.

Now, a year later, they were back for more.

Jackson: Charlotte, are you really not going to take it?

He sounded so careful it was almost funny.

Nine: No.

They really needed to learn how to handle things on their own.

Jackson finally relaxed. No more old men whining in his ear all day. Just as he was about to leave the chat, he remembered something and quickly sent another message.

Jackson: Charlotte, Dr. David wanted me to remind you. Your sleepwalking isn’t the usual kind. If you don’t take your meds, you’re definitely going to have symptoms. Absolutely.
