The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 459

Melissa blinked back tears, her eyes stinging as she felt everyone in the hall staring at her with thinly veiled mockery.

Someone let out a sharp laugh.

“Seriously? She shows up with a fake and still has the guts to call out the original artist. How humiliating.”

“Anthony made it pretty obvious he wants nothing to do with her. Yet she’s still calling him by a pet name. She’s got no shame.”

“I mean, Anthony and Halation really do look good together.”

A world-famous artist with a gold medal wasn’t someone you could compete with just by throwing money around. Next to the Blair family, Melissa was nothing.

Dorothy never imagined things would go this far. Out of respect for Melissa’s mother, she decided to take a risk and speak up, even if it meant crossing Patricia.

“Ms. Carter was tricked. She’s a victim here too. Anthony, can’t we just drop this?”

“No way.” Dorothy barely finished speaking, and Melissa, completely mortified, was ready to bolt when a clear voice rang out from the crowd.

Emily stepped forward, heading straight for Charlotte. She shot Melissa a hard stare. “If this was just an accident, maybe we could let it go. But you tried to mess with Lottie on purpose, and you don’t get to walk away like nothing happened.”
