The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 380

Jackson sat in the passenger seat, busy making arrangements for their flight home. Just a few minutes earlier, Charlotte had changed her mind on a whim and decided they’d head back to Cabinda in an hour. The private jet crew barely had time to get ready.

Adonis lounged behind the wheel, his leg bouncing as he flashed a mischievous grin. “Charlotte, you really pulled off a genius move there,” he said, clearly impressed. “You saved us a ton of money and nearly gave the X Organization’s boss a heart attack.”

Charlotte was in the back, pen in hand, doodling and jotting things down on a blank sheet of paper. She barely looked up as Adonis kept talking.

“But I don’t think God’s the type to let this go,” he added, chattering away.

Charlotte arched a perfectly shaped eyebrow, mouth curving into a sly smile. “And you think I am?” Her tone was light, but there was a hint of danger there. They still hadn’t settled things over what happened with N Organization.

She finished her note, then tossed the prescription over to Jackson and leaned back, closing her eyes as if she didn’t have a care in the world. “Get someone to deliver this to the lord of the castle,” she murmured.

“Yes, Charlotte.” Jackson took the paper, but before he could tuck it away, the car suddenly jolted hard.

“Shit!” Adonis cursed. He’d been humming along to a song, totally relaxed, and the impact nearly made him lose control of the wheel.

In the back seat, Charlotte’s brows pinched together in annoyance. She cracked an eye open and checked the rearview mirror. Two cars were right on their tail.

“Charlotte, looks like it’s X Organization,” Adonis said, gripping the wheel tighter and slamming on the gas to try to shake them off. “They must’ve spotted us when we left the pharmacy.”

Leave it to the X Organization to send people who actually know what they’re doing. They’d waited until the last possible moment to make their move.

Before Adonis could say anything else, the car got slammed from behind. If his reflexes weren’t quick, they’d all be tumbling down the cliff right now.

“They’re really out for blood!” he shouted.
