The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 435

“By the way, Roger and Kenneth will be there for The Gates Family.”

Roger and Kenneth? Charlotte traced her finger along the edge of the invitation, suddenly feeling a lot more confident with their support on her side. A sly smile curled on her lips. “Did you find any clues about ‘Sunset’?”

Spending a fortune on a painting... That was exactly the kind of wild thing Anthony would do.

“‘Sunset’?” Anthony looked down at her, eyes narrowing a little as he studied her face. “No, why do you ask?”

If he’d found any clue, he would have bought it already.

So it wasn’t Anthony? Besides him, who else would shell out millions just to buy a painting for their grandmother? Unless...

Could it actually be one of the guests at the banquet today?

...

The next morning, Charlotte was still half-asleep when someone knocked on her door.

Helen’s gentle voice followed soon after. “Charlotte, Emily sent something over for you.”

Emily? Charlotte threw back the covers and grabbed her phone. Sure enough, there were a ton of messages from Emily. The most recent one arrived just fifteen minutes ago.

[Charlotte, I heard you’re coming to Grandma’s birthday banquet today, so I picked out a dress for you. It’s gorgeous. Trust me, you’ll outshine everyone.]

A dress?

“It really is beautiful, Charlotte. Want to try it on?” Helen asked with a grin.

Today was a big day. First, she’d be at Patricia’s birthday banquet. Second, she’d meet Anthony’s parents for the first time. Looking her best definitely wouldn’t hurt.

Charlotte set her phone aside and carefully lifted the dress by its delicate straps. The moment she saw the plunging neckline, a wave of dread washed over her.
