The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 27

Nancy took a deep breath and stepped out of the fitting room with her decision already made. She grabbed a long black dress off the rack and held it up against Charlotte’s frame. “Charlotte, this one is perfect for you. Just get it.”

Charlotte stared at the dress in her hands. Black lace, a high slit, way too mature for her. She didn’t say a word.

“Trust me, you’ll look amazing,” Nancy said, not even waiting for a response. She handed both dresses to the store manager and lowered her voice. “Could you ring these up together with the one I’m wearing? Just put it all on Elizabeth’s account.”

The saleswoman’s brows drew together. She pressed her lips tight, looking like she’d just tasted something sour. Was this girl for real?

Sure, Elizabeth had a store account, but these dresses were from the premium collection. Together, they cost nearly three million yuan.

“I’ll need to call Elizabeth and confirm,” the saleswoman said, shooting Charlotte a look that barely hid her disdain. She couldn’t remember anyone named Charlotte from the Main family. Was this girl just pretending?

The moment she heard about the call, Nancy got jumpy. She clung to Charlotte’s arm, her voice turning sweet. “Charlotte, we’ve been friends forever. You just got back in town. Isn’t it fair for you to buy me a dress as a welcome gift?”

Charlotte lifted her head, her pale face calm, eyes meeting Nancy’s with quiet patience. “It’s not unfair,” she said softly.

Nancy’s eyes brightened, a smile forming, but Charlotte kept going.

“But I don’t have any money.”

Nancy almost choked. “But your dad does!” She circled Charlotte, pushing harder. “Just put it on your mom’s account. Your dad can transfer the money later.”

Charlotte stayed quiet.

Nancy’s voice rose in frustration. “Charlotte, are we even friends? Remember when you got bullied? I was the one who stood up for you.”

Charlotte just looked at her, eyes cold as ice, not saying a word.

“But I really am broke. I can’t afford it,” Charlotte said quietly.
