The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 454

The word “fiancé” hit Melissa like a slap, leaving her completely stunned. She just stood there, unable to say a single word.

Rebecca noticed the look on Melissa’s face and immediately stepped in. “Charlotte, Melissa was just trying to help you,” she said, her voice sharp. “You don’t have to act so ungrateful.”

Charlotte’s eyebrows lifted, but before she could say anything, Anthony’s deep voice filled the room. “Who exactly do you think you’re talking to?”

Both Rebecca and Melissa glanced up, meeting Anthony’s icy stare. Their hearts skipped a beat. Melissa was left in shock, unable to believe what she was seeing. After all these years, she’d never seen Anthony stand up for any woman like this. He must really care about Charlotte.

Rebecca didn’t mean anything by it,” Melissa said at last, forcing a smile. “Charlotte, you’re not going to hold it against her, right?”

So she insults me and expects me to just let it go?

“If I do hold a grudge, then what?”

Charlotte stood tall, hands stuffed casually in her pockets. Even in her relaxed clothes, her cold voice and calm confidence made her impossible to ignore.

Melissa’s smile faltered. She glanced over at Anthony, looking for support. But he was just watching Charlotte, his eyes soft with affection, clearly planning to let Charlotte handle things her own way.

What is this? Does she really want Rebecca to apologize? Does she think she can do whatever she wants just because Anthony’s on her side?
