The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1741

“To The Blair Group’s jewelry design center.”

Charlotte slipped the meteorite back into its box and kept it in her palm. She leaned into the seat, eyes closing as the city passed by outside.

“Yes, Charlotte.” Adonis nodded respectfully. Now it made sense to him, all the effort she had put into hunting down that meteorite.

But then a thought hit him.

“Wait, hold on, Jackson.” Adonis scooted closer, voice low and careful. “Didn’t Charlotte have us start looking for that meteorite three years ago?”

Jackson glanced sideways, completely calm. “Yeah, and?”

“Two years ago…” Adonis dropped his voice to a whisper, excitement bubbling over. “Charlotte hadn’t even run into Anthony again yet, right?”

Jackson risked a glance at Charlotte through the mirror, then gave a simple nod.

Exactly.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” Adonis shook his head and let out a dramatic sigh, eyes wide with gossip. “Wow, I really did not see this coming.”

Jackson looked over, eyebrows pinched together. “Spit it out if you’ve got something to say.”

“Everyone thinks Anthony was the mastermind. That he did all the chasing and worked so hard to win Charlotte over. But honestly…” Adonis smirked, chin up, voice full of mischief. “Now it seems like Charlotte had him in her sights from the very start.”

Three years ago, she was already trying to get that meteorite for a ring. That said it all.

Turns out Charlotte was playing the long game.

…

The Blair Group’s jewelry design center was serious business. Top-notch designers from all over the world worked there.

More importantly, they had exactly the kind of cutting-edge machinery Charlotte needed.

“Charlotte, why not send it to our design center?” Adonis asked, hurrying after her with furrowed brows.

Their own jewelry studio existed, but it wasn’t in Cabinda.

“Not enough time,” Charlotte replied, lips curling in a faint, cool smile. Her voice was clean and clear as she added, “I want to do it myself.”

Her design studio was over in the next city, so going back and forth just wasn’t realistic.
