The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 55

“What did you say?”

Getting called out so openly in front of all these students made Bald Lee’s face flush with embarrassment. Who did Charlotte think she was anyway? Just the Main family’s daughter, and not even the legitimate one. Rumor had it she was a troublemaker, the kind no one respected or paid attention to. He had assumed she must be protected by someone important.

“Mr. Lee, do your ears only work for the top students? Or do you just ignore the rest of us?”

Her sarcasm was sharp and direct, exposing his favoritism and snobbery for everyone to see. It was exactly what the students had been wanting to say for the past three years. A few couldn’t help flashing Charlotte a thumbs-up behind their desks.

“If Charlotte actually pulls this off and stays, I’m calling her boss from now on.”

“Not likely,” someone murmured.

Everyone remembered a similar scene back in their first year. A student didn’t do well on a test and Bald Lee tore into him. His words went too far, crossing into humiliation. The student stormed out of the classroom. Even though that kid had good grades and a great family, Bald Lee still managed to get him expelled. If Charlotte was picking a fight with him, she was probably doomed.

“Charlotte Main!” Bald Lee’s voice shook with anger as he glared at her. “I’m calling your parents right now. Get them to the school immediately!”

“Charlotte,” Shirley whispered, tugging gently at Charlotte’s sleeve, her face full of worry.

“Don’t waste it. It’s expensive,” Charlotte replied with a lazy smile. She took the fork from Shirley and calmly went back to eating her cake, acting like the threat of expulsion had nothing to do with her.
