The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1633

“If you walk out that door, don’t even think about coming back.”

Dorothy’s face twisted with anger as she watched her husband leave her behind. The tension in her chest was too much. She stumbled and dropped onto the sofa, clutching at her heart, struggling to catch her breath.

“Please, ma’am, you can’t let this upset you.” Her maid hurried to her side and steadied her as gently as she could. “Maybe something really important came up, that’s why…”

Dorothy let out a sharp, humorless laugh. She dug her nails into her palms, her lips twisting into a bitter smile that did nothing to soften her beautiful features. “I must have been out of my mind when I chose such a useless man.”

The maid didn’t dare say a word. She kept her gaze fixed on the floor. In all the years she’d served Dorothy, she’d never seen Daniel argue with his wife. He barely ever even raised his voice. He’d always pampered Dorothy as if she was made of glass.

“He’s content letting people walk all over him. I’m not.” Dorothy’s eyes hardened as she stared in the direction Daniel had gone. At home, Patricia always spoiled Lavinia’s family and never hers. Out in public, people wouldn’t stop talking about Lavinia’s family either. Matthew and Lavinia were always the ones the world seemed to admire.

Now Patricia had handed all the power to Anthony, like Andrew didn’t even exist. Once Anthony married Charlotte, the Gates and Blair families would be unstoppable. How was Andrew ever going to get a slice of the Blair Group in the future?

The thought of Charlotte made Dorothy’s face go completely white. There had always been tension between them. Even before the engagement, Charlotte never showed her any respect. Once she joined the family officially, she’d find any excuse to push Dorothy out of the picture and take over.

She couldn’t let that happen. She needed to act now if she wanted to keep her place in the Blair family. The best thing to do was get Andrew a girlfriend with a strong, impressive background.

With her mind made up, Dorothy pulled herself together and fixed the maid with a cold stare. “Tell them to be careful with the investigation. Andrew can’t know anything about it.”

Andrew had always been rebellious, and ever since Charlotte got involved, he was getting harder and harder to handle. The way he’d rushed to grab his phone made it obvious how much that girl meant to him. If she was from a prominent family, fine. But if she was just a schemer trying to climb the social ladder…

Dorothy pressed her lips together, her eyes going dark and cold. She wasn’t about to let anyone become a stumbling block for Andrew.
