The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1731
Dorothy...
When Charlotte spoke, Shirley lowered her eyes, her voice barely above a whisper. “If it comes to that, they’ll definitely trace it back to her.”
But...
She was Andrew’s mother.
“What’s got you so worried?” Charlotte raised the glass from the nightstand and held it to Shirley’s lips. Her voice was calm and steady. “Are you afraid this will end up hurting Andrew?”
Shirley pressed her lips tight, staying silent, but her answer was clear.
Yes.
She was scared.
Because—no matter what—Dorothy was his mom.
“Think about it from another angle.” Charlotte set the glass aside, then pulled a piece of candy from her pocket and placed it in Shirley’s mouth. She leaned back, stretching her long legs out, gaze drifting up. “If that man had gotten what he wanted today, did you ever imagine what would’ve happened?”
What would’ve happened?
Shirley’s head slowly lifted. She met Charlotte’s eyes, but her mouth was dry. Nothing came out.
If she hadn’t grabbed that knife just in time... If she hadn’t hurt that man while defending herself...
She might be the one in the ICU now.
Or worse.
He could’ve assaulted her, taken her eye, hacked off her leg...
She might’ve died right there, unable to even scream.
The memory of that man’s threats sent a shiver through her.
“Try to get some sleep,” Charlotte murmured, tucking the blanket closer around her. “The investigators will be in tomorrow. Just tell them everything, exactly how it happened.” Her voice softened. “You’re the victim here. No one’s going to blame you.”
“Charlotte...” Shirley’s eyes had turned red, tears clinging to her lashes. She sounded rough, exhausted. “Why did it all turn out like this? I really tried... tried so hard to become someone better, someone worthy of Andrew... I really did my best.”
